I believe Magisk dropped SuperSu support at some point before v13. Magisk now includes its own systemless root solution, so SuperSu is not needed. Try uninstalling Magisk and SuperSu and flashing the latest 13.3 zip.

Two options:
If you have a pre-supersu/Magisk backup, restore it (at least the boot part).
If you don't have a backup (I encourage you to make them in the future...):
You need to go to the forum post with the fixed prime 6.5 zip downloads. Download the ~1gb zip, unzip it, and grab the boot.img from there. Flash it in twrp by going to install, install image (bottom right). Choose boot. When the flash finishes, reboot to recovery and flash Magisk.

Never mind man. I can't say thank you enough I found the stock ROM with the info you gave me. Flashing boot.img was successful and so was flashing the Magisk.zip again thanks

Sure thing. See you around!

Why would someone use Magisk instead of traditional root? Are there some apps that you need to use that won't work on the rooted phone? I guess that there are a few, like snap chat and maybe Netflix but I don't use those on the Blu R1 HD.
I followed Colton's original root thread and while he, at first, included Magisk, he later advised switching to the non-Magisk root and I did. What would I gain by switching back to Magisk?

I wanted to use systemless xposed framework because the official version is not supported on my device. Also I wanted to use the modules that are specifically for magisk

Systemless xposed does not work either found this out earlier today device would not boot after installation of xposed through magisk

Ah, that would be a problem for me. I wouldn't want to use a phone without xposed. I have to have all the tweaking and customizations available in gravitybox and a few other modules.
So what will you do now? Give up xposed or Magisk? Or try to find or wait for a version of xposed that works on Magish?
It was a long time ago, but I think I remember running into problems running xposed on Magisk and Colton provided some helpful advice in his original thread about reflashing the rom, getting root, then installing xposed - he had seperate threads for those.

I will have to see if it works when a new version of magisk is launched.

[Q] (Dumb) Can Magisk work with zips for TWRP/Flashfire?

Sorry, I'm new to using Magisk, and I want to ask if I can install a zip designed for TWRP/FlashFire through Magisk and expect it to work?
Sorry for the likely blatant stupidity. Thanks.

The Magisk Manager can only flash Magisk modules. Trying to flash anything else will simply fail with the message "this is not a Magisk module".

Is it possible to flash a zip file in twrp that alters system files such as the pixelexperience. zip which changes bootanimation, ui sounds , etc?

I should have been more specific. What I meant was after flashing Magisk in Twrp can we still flash other zip files in twrp that are not Magisk modules or will Magisk no longer work after that? Sorry for being somewhat clueless on this subject. I understand that Magisk is systemless but not sure if flashing a zip from recovery would mess up Magisk or cause a boot issue.

sure nothing will happen flashing any thing in twrp will be safe but the zip u will flash will touch ur system partition ...... i think so that

It all depends on what that zip does... Generally there shouldn't be any issues though.

I get what you're trying to ask, you mean that flashing any mods via TWRP will break Magisk or not.
The answer is :No, they work perfectly
But flashing any mods via TWRP will modify your system partition and MAY stop Magisk Hide from working and will affect your ability to receive OTAs

Which OTA, was it the incremental update (<1 GB) or the full zip (>1GB)?
Which version Magisk? 14.6 link the post you linked?
Always post as much specific detail as possible (version numbers, file names, etc.) when asking for help. Otherwise, you waste everyone's time as we have to ask for information you should have provided, in the first place.

Did you swipe to allow system modification in TWRP? if not, installing the update ahd Magisk should not have tripped dm-verity (prevented the phone from booting to OS).

Flashing Magisk 15.1 will trip dm-verity. 15.2 however is ok.

Updating Magisk version

First of all, I have very limited android experience but I need too root my phone for the functionality of an app that's critical to my business. Anyways, I'm running a Moto x4 with Pie. I already installed magisk 17.3 and magisk manager 6.0.1 using twrp recovery following a tutorial on youtube. When opening the magisk manager, it asked me to update to 7.1.1, which I did. Then it told me that I needed at least v18.0 magisk to be able to run the new magisk manager. Am I able to update magisk by flashing the new zip version in twrp, or is another method required since a prior version is already installed? Is this how I would install all future versions of magisk that comes out? Is there anything that I should know before flashing? I really don't want to get stuck in a boot loop or brick the phone.... Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

First of all: backup! Then you can bootloop, brick (or not!) with no worries. Do it with twrp.
Download latest (beta) Magisk 19.0, flash it under twrp and be happy.

Just to add to the above....
Since you're already rooted you don't have to flash the zip in TWRP. Just go to the Magisk Manager Modules section, click the "+"-button and select the Magisk zip. When it's done, reboot and you're updated.

You could of course uninstall the incompatible Manager and reinstall the one that works with your Magisk version.
But, that's now besides the point.
A day when you learn something new is a good day. :good:

If you want to learn more, here's a trivia [emoji14]
Also install "Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode (mm)" module. Not promoting it, but I myself feel it's a good module that you need to have before playing with Magisk Modules
It allows you to manage Magisk Modules from TWRP itself. So next time you run into a bootloop, you know what to do

TWRP install and magisk root xz3

So over the last day or 2 I've tried flashing the twrp recovery image. It flashes fine and reboots and loads the twrp recovery. However nothing works after that like it hangs and the touch screen is inop. How do I get past this? I have flashed the latest twrp for 52.0.A. 8.131 and phone is on the stock firmware also.
Just trying to get to the stage of installing the magisk root software. I've heard also people having issues with certain versions of magisk on Sony phones to? Is this fixed in the latest version?
Is there anything else I should be doing? Is the xz3 able to be rooted on the latest software released by Sony as of August update

Touch doesn't work in the android system?
And it hangs?
Or what hangs where?
Yes, you either need to use magisk 18.1 or the newest canary should work too.

Well it's like it hangs as it loads the Sony logo and then boots into twrp but nothing happens when touching the touch screen or using the side volume buttons apart from showing the twrp boot logo.
What's the full process of flashing twrp to the device? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I did see some people have had to connect a mouse to there phone to operate twrp?
Sorry for the confusion. I'm not sure if it's the way I'm doing it or if there is a issue with twrp on the xz3 on the latest Sony firmware. I've done a few roots before as I have a tablet install in my car as well as rooting a previous xperia phone but the latest android 9 seems harder to crack.

Managed to get it working, however once all installed it asks to update the magisk app to 19.3 which I have done however it is now stuck in a bootloop where it loads Sony and powered by android and then reboots every time.
What's the fix for this?

So far I've fixed it by reinstalling the previous version through twrp. Is there issues with magisk 19.3?
Alos now in the magisk manager I have the manager showing up to date(7.3.2) but magisk is showing not installed only able to install magisk 19.3?

Please either use magisk 18.1 or the newest canary
Or switch to a custom ROM. [emoji14]

For some reason I can't seem to get magisk 18.1 back on now after the update. I'm guessing I'll have to do a clean install again. The magisk manager is fine but magisk doesn't shown as installed. Is there a fix for this or will a clean stock flash work? Or is there a way to flash a new boot.img?
Is this also a known issue when updating magisk?

You can flash the magisk uninstaller first
Or the firmware
Or the boot.sin from the firmware folder
It's a known issue for the xperias from sony
The developer said that a working magisk before was an accident and since he used an official way it wasn't working anymore correctly
And then it seems in 19.4/canary fixed er the xperia specific issue.

Tried the magisk uninstaller but every time I do it comes up with error 1 and then never installs.
The flash boot.sin sounds a easy fix, I will try that and see. If not looks like a full firmware reinstall is on the cards. I'll stick with 18.1 when I do as that seemed to work until I updated. I'll wait till a stable release of 19.4 is released.
Many thanks for your help so far Martin.

Managed to reflash the beta 19.3 zip for magisk then restart, flashed the uninstaller which worked and then reinstalled magisk which is now working again.
Is it safe to update the manager app from 7.0.0 to 7.3. 2 and leave the magisk version at 18.1?
