How to use Magisk??? (add lost txt)

Hi to all
I have rooted OP3T and every time when I install new update, BETA small or full version zip file, I need again to install stock.zip from boatloader , then again, install TWRP and Super Su.
I hear that with Magisk I can easy install any update without lost TWRP and Root. I have flash Magisk and install from Google Store Magisk Manager.
So my question is how to install new update with Magisk and dont lost TWRP and Root?
Please tell me step by step
thx a lot for your answers
Magisk doesn't touch the recovery. And you'll still have to flash the Magisk zip since the boot image is updated whenever you update your system (Magisk modifies the boot image).
What does stay after an update (as long as you don't wipe /data) is any Magisk modules that you have installed. If you have a bunch of modules that change build.prop values, debloat system apps, change screen density, replaces system UI sounds, etc, you won't have to do those changes again after an update. They are found in the Magisk image in /data and will be loaded by Magisk at boot.
Even if you've wiped /data, it's just a matter of flashing the Magisk and module zips in TWRP after updating your system. No tedious manual editing of build.prop or deleting apps, etc. It literally takes seconds...
If you have issues with loosing TWRP after an update, you can easily fix that, right after updating. Just keep a copy of the recovery image on your device and flash it in TWRP.

Cannot boot to system after a tried to uninstall Magisk

Hi guys,
I'll try to be short..
After a while, I whipped MIUI and Installed Pixel Experience Go on Redmi 4x. Everything was fine, until I tried to install Adaway and it showed me on Magisk Manager that the phone was not root (It was before that). I tried to install the new version 19 over 18.1, but it showed error on TWRP that there was an error installing the zip, because system was not mounted.
I tried to uninstall Magisk with the zip provided in github, and again some error occurred. Then I cleared cache and dalvick and rebooted, but I'm stuck on MI logo. I'm able to access TWRP and see all my files, but cannot boot into the system.
My mistake I did not make recovery or backup and now all my settings and apps (banking, pictures and so on) are about to be whipped.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

REALME X2 PRO (CN version) bricked... TWRP backup.

Hi , guys.
I have bricked my real x2 pro (CN version).
I tryed to restore several ways (MSMDOWNLOAD, QPST, QFiL) , but none of them leaded me success.
The frail possibility is It still works in TWRP mode.
So maybe it is impudent favor to ask you,
Can someone give me the clean backup of its system etc. of TWRP ?
It seems to me the final way to resolve this problem.:crying:
You try this, install twrp-3.3.1-12-RMX1931-mauronofrio.img , flash official ozip file with this version twrp, then fastboot official recovery.img, clear data under official recovery. this work for me. but I lost modemst1 modemst2 fsg persist partition( bakcup and restore with Chinese version twrp 3.3.1-1107 zwsx), and brick my x2 pro too.
Thank you, friend !
The official .ozip is chinese version ?
I could'nt find one than for RMX1931EX.
I already tried to flash it from TWRP.
But it is for RMX1931EX not for RMX1931 (installer showed me just 1931, no EX nor CN), so I could'nt.

I tried to flash CN rom from TWRP.
Not successed.
flash the ozip
failed saying ,For RMX1931CN not for RMX1931.
TWRP version is twrp-3.3.1-12-RMX1931-mauronofrio.
I'm sure my phone is CN version.
I just want clean backup file of system by TWRP...
Try changing file system in advanced wipe from ext 4 > ext 2 then back to ext 4 before flashing CN ozip.

Hi,
Now I dont know how to overwrite recovery image from PC.
The phone doesnt be accessed in debugging mode.
Just external memory of PC.
And my phone wakes only in TWRP.
So for flashing, I send files from PC to twrp folder of my phone.
This is why I begged for the backup of system by TWRP.
Dude if you would follow my unbrick guide your phone would work

I Went totally nuts last night when i bricked my phone so i did figure out my self how to unblock the phone.
First you need to BE ABLE TO ENTER FASTBOOT it won't work without it and you need working TWRP.
First you need to go to TWRP and go to mount and unmount everything and disable MTP.
Then go to Advanced and select Terminal
type in LS make sure there is 2 Folders one called system and one called system_root
make sure that the system folder is empty if empty type in rm -r system
and rename the system_root folder to system using mv system_root system
after that boot into Fastboot mode and Flash your Rom for your Device using the Fastboot Tool
Hope that works for you guys.

MIUI 12 K20 Pro Vendor Partition files edit.

Hello everyone , I was wandering if someone could help me with this issue.
First My phone State and system :
I got an Unlocked k20 Pro , flashed with MIUI 12.0.2 Global (Mi 9T Pro) , rooted wigh magisk (Twrp of course too v3.4 ) , Encrypted storage too.
I am trying to edit some files in the vendor partition but all the changes I make get reversed back , tried everything , Partition mounted as R/W in root explorer , changing the SE Context , but it seems as if all my work is on memory only, and not commited to disk, and everytime I restart the phone it rolls back on how it was before.
Tried copying my edits through TWRP , same result , restart and changes are gone.
So my question is what is happening exactly ? and what should I do to edit the vendor partiton?.
Thought about DM-Verity , tried disabling it using different methods (flashing Universal Zip amd manual editing ) always end up in a bootloop.
The root seems only to allow editing system partition.
Are the files backed up? and then restored if edited ?
Thank you in advance

1.Mount vendor image in ubuntu pc... Edit and flash it.
2.In twrp edit in

Thank you for the answer, however, and after doing some reading, the situation is much more complex, and might be, at the moment, not possible.
It might have something to do with miui dynamic partitons, and twrp not supporting it.(read only mode).
Also, mounting on linux wont work because the dedup ext4 , and unpacking repacking then flashing wont work because , at the moment, I found no way to disable DM-verity on miui 12.0.2(The phone will not boot).
I solved my problem anyway , via Magisk , I just created a module and done what I wanted.(Thats what magisk is for in the first place )

Realme X2 Pro TWRP Lineage install without error but cant boot

I got an European Realme X2 pro on which i now got TWRP running (after flashing a modified vbmeta image and only one TWRP version seems to work). Of course the bootloader is unlocked. The problems is that when i change setting in TWRP and reboot it doesent save them.
Also when i install a lineageos 19 zip, this goes through without an error, but it only boots to bootlaoder.
After rebooting (from twrp) files in /sdcard are gone, is this normal?
And lastly when i go to wipe in TWRP it doesent give me the option to wipe system, altough i can "mount" system. In Backup TWRP shows that there is a system partition which has 1450mb.
Thanks for your replies in advance
