Hello,
I have been struggling to root my device. I have not wiped and rooted it in some time and now coming back to it again magisk keeps breaking my device.
I have clean flashed the latest android 9.0.0 build. I have flashed TWRP custom recovery 3.3.0 successfully. I have tried to flash magisk 3 times now and afterwards my phone wont boot. I originally used magisk manager to get the latest zip and patch my boot image. I then rebooted to to bootloader and ran fast boot flash boot patched_Magisk.img. This wiped out my twrp recovery and my phone wouldn't boot, i couldn't get back into twrp recovery. I reflashed latest 9.0 build and wiped everything. I flashed twrp again and tried to flash Magisk 20.0 from recovery. It was successful but again i couldn't boot into my phone and it eventually restarted back into recovery which i still had twrp this time. I then tried it again with 19.3 and the same thing happened. can anyone tell me what is going on here? What am I missing? I have been having reflash factory 9.0 build each time just to get it to remove the patched boot image and boot up again.
Was either the TWRP version or the two check boxes it has now to install twrp app as system. Installed 3.2.3-1 and didnt install the twrp app through the recovery check boxes and it worked.

I was on Oos 4.5.1 and wanted to update to Oreo. I followed the thread on this forum and downloaded the new TWRP BluSpark img file, the OOS full package and the Magisk zip. Booted into recovery, installed the img file and flashed OOS and the Magisk zip file. When i rebooted into system, i noticed Root wasn't installed and my recovery had reverted to stock recovery but my device bootloader was still unlocked. So i booted into fastboot mode, flashed the Blusparks img file and booted into recovery and flashed the magisk file. Now the phone rebooted and its stuck on the "Powered By Android" screen. The boot image of OP hasn't shown up. What do i do? I really don't want to hard reset my phone :/
No need to hard reset the phone, just go to recovery clean flash excluding internal storage then flash oxygen os 5.0 zip file and magisk 14.5.
Magisk 14.0 has boot issues.
I had similar issues which I resolved easily.
You may trigger DM verity flag after booting which you can disable easily.

Oh yes, i figured Magisk 14.0 was the issue. I waited for 30 mins+ and the phone still didnt boot up, so i switched it off and booted into recovery and flashed just the OOS zip file and it worked. I don't want to wipe data as well.
Can i flash Blusparks twrp from adb, boot into recovery and just flash OOS and Magisk 14.5 and wipe dalvik/cache?

You can flash bluspark recovery from fastboot. But for the successful installation and avoid problems, forget the application data. You can fresh install apps which is always recommended while flashing any ROM even if it is updated version. I never dirty flash ROM. I care for internal storage and not for the small apps.
You can try dirty flash as you stated but stability may be an issue.
Dirty flashed with Magisk 14.5 and it worked
So... was tired of some miscellaneous issues with 4.5.0 (rooted w/ Magisk, TWRP recovery) and decided to finally jump to 5.0. Failed initially in TWRP (was using stock 3.1.xx), moved to the OOS internal upgrade option, and actually managed to boot into 5.0 (albeit stock recovery and no root) after that succeeded.
Powered off, connected to PC, fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1 blu spark, rebooted into recovery, reflashed blue spark img, flashed OnePlus3TOxygen_28_OTA_060_all_1711160447.zip (went fine AFAIK, "script succeeded, 1.0000"). Cleared Dalvik/cache, flashed SuperSU v2.82... and this is where things got weird. First, flashing SuperSU failed once at the point of compressing the ramdisk. rebooted into TWRP, tried again, and it finished without error messages. Wiped Dalvik/cache once more and rebooted. This time, I got a permanent boot where my OP3T appeared to freeze at the first OP logo on a black background and would go no further even after 10+ minutes. Swapped out my SuperSU zip with a download straight from their website, same frozen boot. Redownloaded OTA_060_all, same thing. Wiped dalvik/cache/system before each attempt, no luck.
Gave up, fastboot -w, reflashed TWRP blu spark, and now even just drying to flash the plain OTA_060 zip results in a "no OS installed" when I try to reboot. When I try to flash either Magisk v15 or SuperSU 2.82, TWRP freezes entirely in the first steps, crashes to a white notification icon, and requires a long power button hold to reboot. I am lost at this point. AFAIK, my OP3T is basically a blank, wiped slate, and I've never experienced full-on TWRP freezes while flashing before blu spark.
In the meantime, I've installed OTA_057 (4.5.1) instead, thankfully without a bootloop, but fully wiped any suggestions?
I've jumped from Nougat to Oreo too. These are my steps: while on nougat open the TWRP recovery (stock TWRP); MAKE A COMPLETE BACKUP; updated it to the latest version (3.2.1.0.- if you have it installed then there's no need for this step); complete wipe; install the OTA using USB OTG; boot to system; run the first setup; (now TWRP might got overwritten just reboot to recovery, if it reboots to TWRP great, move on, if not then reboot to system and install TWRP using ADB); reboot to TWRP recovery; flash Magisk 15 (or SuperSU, but I don't use it so I can't say if it works); flash kernel if you want; reboot to system; check if Magisk/SuperSU works and that's it. At this point I've made another complete backup just in case I skrew up something in the future. Hope I helped! Good luck!
Are you using supersu 2.82 SR5.
I had same problem with my 3T going from nougat to oreo.

Yep, I believe that's exactly the version I tried I eventually just gave up after doing the complete device wipe through fastboot commands, am now running 5.0 with no problems but have the stock recovery and am not rooted :/ Now I just need to make a backup and then I can mess around and try and find a root method that doesn't basically soft brick my phone...
Even I am running OOS 5.0
The way I rooted is:
Flashed oos 5.0 using TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27381&task=get)
Boot normally
Reboot to TWRP, flash TWRP using fastboot if you find stock recovery. Then boot to TWRP.
After you in the TWRP recovery, flash superSU 2.82 SR5
Then flash suhide (it helps you hide root from apps which are a bit finicky about root).
This works for me.
SuperSU v2.82-SR5 flashable ZIP:

I just followed these steps coming from rooted 4.5.1 and worked perfectly.

Unleashed by my rooted OP3T in 8.0
went through the tutorial and everything went fine until magisk installation. stuck on loading screen forever. only complete wipe\installing twrp img helps to restore the system.
but then no root of course.
any ideas?
+1, I have the same error in havoc pie, in oreo magisk work fine?

Could you provide information about your current setup as well as steps you performed to flash Magisk?
@topjohnwu have previously mentioned that it might not be a good idea to have TWRP installed along with Magisk on A/B devices (since the recovery is in the boot image). Use fastboot to boot TWRP and then install Magisk leaving the stock recovery untouched.
I have solved it by reinstalling stock os, and then when installing twrp and magisk , I didn't check "install twrp as system app" , as it suggests at the end of flashing . Bam , now I have twrp recovery and rooted phone .
I was running a custom ROM (Skydragon) earlier. I simply booted into TWRP, did the basic wipe then flashed the official zip file. Then after booting, its stuck on the boot animation for more than 20 minutes now. Any ideas how to resolve this?
I too faced the same issue. formating the data partition and flashing community beta build booted successfully for me. before you do this, completely back your phone contents to pc
You must flash with TWRP 3.2.3.0 or older!
i had the same issue. formated data had 3.3.0 twrp but still bootloop so i used unbrick tool to put my phone back to stock and then updated to last build though stock recovery and then unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, magisk and done.
I was unlocked and rooted at Indian 12.5.2 ROM for the longest time. Got a notification for 12.5.5 and installed it. That took away root, but that was expected.
Now I've installed official TWRP, but as soon as I install Magisk (either via zip from recovery or patched twrp recovery image via the Magisk app), when I try rebooting to system, phone instead boots back to TWRP with a 'Android Rescue Party Trigger' error.
Happened every single time I've tried above - phone tries booting and then boots to recovery, and only way to boot system again is to install unpatched TWRP recovery, but then there's no root.
What should I do?
