There will(hopefully) be a lot of otas coming to Poco F1 for bug fixing. So if we are rooted with Magisk we cannot install Otas directly as magisk modifies our stock boot image. And since poco doesn't have A/B partitions we cannot install OTA's and still keep Magisk. That brings us to Flashfire which can preserve root. Flashfire doesn't work on MIUI 9.6.14.0 (it doesn't work on mine) .So how do we install OTAs while preserving Magisk ? Is it possible or do we have to flash stock recovery and stock boot image and lose magisk ?
OTA update method according to topjohnwu:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
Would be helpful if somebody can post a diy in the guide section on how to apply OTAs on Magisk rooted devices.
I would be very interested as well!!
Go to recovery.
Flash Magisk zip to restore old kernel backup.
Boot to system, you will not have root.
Update.
You still have TWRP, install Magisk again.
Profit.
I did flash my ota via stock recovery . You need flash stock recovery then go to system update after done go back to twrp and your magisk

Hi, just booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk zip file, I'm still rooted.
Do you mean then the uninstaller Magisk file? If so, it will remove packages as well and root will still be there... Could you please be more explicit? Thanks!

Magisk makes a backup of ur boot.img, which you need to use OTAs, to restore it, you can flash Magisk again to restore it. (that's how it should work)

In my case flashing Magisk again did not work. From Magisk Manager -> Uninstall either since it was "unable to download".
For those who would be in the same case, I did following steps to update:
- Download latest Magisk uninstaller (currently 17.3, I tested with 17.1 & 17.2)
- Boot into TWRP (I use an app for convenience), go to Install > flash the Magisk uninstaller zip and (optional) boot to system to make sure root is gone (with Root Checker e.g.)
- Power off device and boot into Fastboot, flash stock boot.img (you can find it in the ROM folder you used to install your ROM), boot to System and install OTA update via the update manager, then reboot
- At this point I was stuck in fastboot screen, I simply booted with TWRP (with decryption working) and it took care of installing the update, I then flashed Magisk from there.

It seems it is impossible to get root with magisk on latest Oreo stock. Maybe someone found solution?
I asked and I answer =)
To get the root it is required to
- install latest TWRP (current version twrp-3.2.1-0)
- reboot to TWRP
- install 16.2 or higher magisk, link for 16.2
- install f2fs bug workaround
- reboot system
- install magisk Manager
- enjoy your root =)

There is magisk uninstaller provided in official thread.
To remove twrp you just need to flush original recovery via fastboot
Hello guys, can I have some advice on whether I should install this latest Oreo update on my moto z, how is the battery doing on this update? And overall experience?
@dolar4ik
i reflash the stock oreo ROM,then flash TWRP,flash magisk,flash f2fs bug workaround, stuck at bootloader logo,how can i do it??
Flash the Magisk uninstaller, reboot to recovery (you have this option in TWRP) and flash again only the Magisk 16.3 (without the f2fs bug workaround). This worked for me two days ago.
Today I updated to the latest Magisk 16.4 without any problems.

This is right.
I re-flashed my phone using the OPL27.76-51 firmware. Now, no way to install Magisk (old, new, any version).
The solution, I restored a TWRP backup made at the first bootloader unlock (when the ROM was updated only using OTAs, not flashed). Immediately I was able to install Magisk 16.4 - without any F2FS workaround.
HERE is my TWRP backup containing the partitions: Boot, Data & System. Hope it helps!

Uninstall magisk with it's own uninstaller.
I installed Magisk on the full Oreo release and everything is working.
I did make a "less bloat, less bs" zip version but I doubt it would make a change.
If you guys want, I can upload it when I get home.

My friend who gave it to me hasn't touch the phone for a year.
So i started with 6.0 and after multiple updates, now i am on Oreo.

Bootloader was never unlocked.

In next 2 weeks my mi pad 4 LTE will come to me.
Could you tell me, how to root it by magisk?
1) unlock it by xiaomi (360 hours waiting)
2) flash twrp
3) flash magisk
4) reboot
That is all I need to do to get a root ?)

Usually you don't even have to flash TWRP recovery if you want to keep original recovery, you can just boot it with "fastboot boot twrp.img".
Just a FYI, the latest magisk 17 has not been working for me. Magisk 16 works just fine.

Magisk it has nothing to do with Modem/Baseband he patching Kernel.
After using Magisk uninstaller or restore stock Kernel works for you LTE ?

Many thanks
@Tysovwik, I see you want keep miui. You have to block overwriting recovery by original one. I have seen option for it in twrp, but i have not tested it. The same you can have if you use special zip package.
Twrp has second option for auto install magisk 17.1, but i installed it from zip file (twrp labeled 20.12.2018 can have 18.0)
is this the best way to Root a Mi Pad 4 LTE ?

Some noobie questions.
I already have TWRP installed in my Mi pad 4, and want to keep my original MIUI rom
To install Magisk what should I do next?
Just flash magisk from twrp?
Do I need to flash no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip?
Select any option of wipe in twrp before flashing Magisk?
If I get a bootloop can I just use Magisk unistaller?

I would wipe cache /dalvik cache before and wipe cache again after flashing. But yeah, just flash the magisk zip. You check in the settings under security if your device is encrypted, which I'm guessing it probably is already. In which case there's no need to flash no verify encrypt zip. Unless you want to have no encryption. In which case you'll have to start all over, complete format in twrp then flash magisk and no encrypt zip before first boot.
If you want to stay encrypted (assuming you are already), just flash magisk. I haven't done it in a while! So not sure if magisk manager will be installed with zip flash, if it's not there when you boot to system, just download and install latest magisk manager. You can always then download a root checker app from playstore to be sure all went well.
Good luck dude

You have an old version of TWRP... You need to install a newer version - 3.2.3.2 - which you will find by doing a search for it here on XDA...
Just load img file on INTERNAL storage of phone, choose install>install image file> and click on recovery partition. After install go to home menu and restart recovery...
If you still have issues then download magisk again, it may be corrupt...
Cheers....

what are you trying to flash? If it is Magisk Manager, it is in apk format and you just click it to install. No TWRP.
If it is Magisk, which version are you trying to flash? Try 18.1. And preferably download any file from its source.
EDIT: If Magisk v18.1 is also not flashing, try Magisk Canary version. Some phones need that.

After i unlocked my bootloader i launched twrp and flashed beta magisk 19.0 (not latest anymore because 19.1 just today showed up) then i reminded that i forgot about DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v18.0.zip so i flashed iit and after it flashed again magisk 19.0, after reboot it everything was fine

There is no need to flash DFE. I've unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, flashed PE and Magisk 19.0 all without DFE which I don't need.
@OP, you need TWRP version 3.2.3-2 at a minimum, which you can boot using 'fastboot boot twrp-<version>.img' . Then flash Magisk. You'll
need at least version 18.1.

So, to make it clear (and to not brick my poco... ):
1. I should use TWRP image from this link --> https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocophonef1.html...
2. ...and I don't need to replace my recovery - just booting it once (as You described) is enough.
3. I should flash Magisk's ZIP, not MagiskManager's ZIP or Magisk.apk
4. No more flashing, clearing data and other operations needed.
Am I right?
1 - Yes.
2 - That's down to you. I have TWRP recovery installed and I have the app as well.
3 - You need to flash Magisk and install the apk. See this link for instructions on installing Magisk.
4 - Yes, you need to clear data, wipe dalvik and cache when installing a new ROM. If updating a current rom, I just wipe dalvik & cache.
HTH
Hey I know its not a thread related but if u install magisk can u tell me if you have 60fps screen recoding option? Because I already Dirty flashed rom once and nothing changed still cant unlock it :/

Yes, I do. I've not tried it though...
I successfully followed a guide to rooting my phone using TWRP, DisableForceEncryption (DFE), and Magisk. I now want to flash the latest (stock) ROM and re-apply DFE.
But there seem to be many versions of DFE available, some with/without version numbers, and some with/without the word "treble". And all are anonymous uploads on file-locker sites... :-/
What does "treble" mean? Does the DFE version number correspond to the Magisk version? I couldn't find a DEF v20 anywhere...
Who produces DFE -- is there an official website/source for the latest version(s)?
Cheers

Thanks. So, I can just just flash the latest ROM in TWRP, and... it won't overwrite TWRP, or lose root access, or cause any boot/encryption problems...?
Presumably I'd need to re-flash Magisk (after flashing the ROM) to retain root access...?
Will the phone be re-encrypted after updating to the latest stock ROM?

In Miui Roms firmware and vendor are always integrated. There is IMHO no reason to flash only the vendor.

I have MIUI 10.3.7.0 and want to upgrade to MIUI 10.3.8.0. The file I have downloaded is miui_POCOF1Global_V10.3.8.0.PEJMIXM_b5d72aa3ba_9.0.zip.

Yes -- all the guides I've read say that, having installed a custom recovery to root the device, all subsequent ROM updates need to have DFE (or some similar software) applied in order to prevent a boot-loop. This article gives a lot of information, although most of it goes over my head.

What do you mean by "flashing the vendor"...?

First backup your data
Flash 10.3.8.0 dirty in twrp
wipe cache, dalvik cache in twrp
reboot the device (not rooted)
reboot into twrp and flash magisk 19.3 (i don´t know if the newer Versions will work with MIUI Rom)
reboot into system
thats it
the other guy flashed the vendor partition only, without a reason in miui and ran into encryption.
Here is a very good site "Globe Rom" https://mi-globe.com/miui-firmware-rom-builder-features/65/
Click on MIUI 9.6.27 and Change to MIUI 10.3.8.0 then create your own rom with including Magisk and other nice tools.
You can flash the Globe Rom according to the same instructions as above and Magisk is after the first reeboot
immediately active.

Aha! It works! :laugh: Thank you so much! :victory:
So... now I've "disabled forced encryption", do I ever need to worry about it again? Can I flash a new version of TWRP, or use a custom ROM and just use Magisk to re-root?

If you flash Miui-Roms than no dfe needed.
If you flash a custom rom you should flash dfe.

Settings -> "Security status" just shows:
Find device -- Off
Security update -- 2019-09-01
Google Play Protect > (Looks fine / No harmful apps found)
"Additional settings" -> Privacy -> "Encrypted & credentials" shows as "Encrypted".
However, the sub-option "Encrypt device using lock screen password" is turned off.
So just remember that if you want to move to another custom ROM you're going to have to format data. You're system is encrypted.

I only found DFE uploaded by someone. How can I get latest version? Isn't here any thread of it?
I have a pocophone f1 which I attempted to root.
I already unlocked it using my MI account with MI unlocker on windows.
I installed TWRP 3.2, as well as SupersU.zip in TWRP.
I go and check root access using various root checker apps from playstore but i have no root access. One of them says that my supersu $Path does not contain a binary.
I tried uninstalling superSu using the supersSu uninstaller.zip in TWRP and then attempted flashing magisk, but i got the error about patched boot image. I wiped everything and then flashed stock global ROM for miui 11. Still i get the patched boot image when trying to flash magisk.
Any ideas?

Just uninstall SuperSU root and root again with magisk! There is unroot option in the SuperSU app which you have to use or:

@Silvershot
My POV: Noone needs to install TWRP to root phone's Android.

It's clear that something has gone very wrong. Instead of wasting time with troubleshooting, I recommend that you restore the phone to its original state via re-flashing its Stock ROM and when that's done retry to root its Android the proper way.
FYI: Once TWRP got installed on phone, you can't get rid off of it unless you re-flash phone's Stock ROM.

If you flash phone's Stock ROM then neither Magisk nor TWRP is existing , you can't run either of them ...

I could but I don't want to: IMO you simply didn't get it - you do anything without questioning the meaning.
Happy fiddling around with Magisk etc.pp.

You don't have to disable encryption to use magisk. Atleast I think from my experience.
This is the step-by-step tutorial.
1. Flash this global stock miui with TWRP. https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?device=1700355 (if this is not the official ROM please correct me, there are a lot of fakes there)
2. Flash Magisk with TWRP. Download and flash it from this github repo. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT FROM ANYWHERE ELSE!
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
3. Reboot
