[Magisk] toyongbanatero:
Hey guys I'm on a quite bit of a problem. Magisk works fine for me until I applied an OTA update on my phone without first uninstallling everything completely (I thought it would work). I'm using the patched boot image method and I just flashed my stock boot image back, applied the OTA update, patched the new boot.img and then flashed it again via fastboot.

Phone: Asus Zenfone 3 Max 5.2 API 24 Nougat

Well, installing Magisk only works fine (root works, I think), but I got several errors on the log which was not there before I OTA updated. Here's the log:

This was from just moments ago, I tried flashing v17.0 but same things happen. Logs are almost identical with v16.0 and v16.7 (especially the "E" severity logs). And though root works just fine if you won't check the logs and see those errors, things go haywire when installing Xposed. Things start to show "XXXXXXX has stopped" messages (especially Facebook and Messenger, and sorry, I forgot to grab the logcat but in the "Submit bug report" app, it says the crash is a "NativeException"), booting my phone loops about 10 times (boot logo -> power off -> boot logo -> it loops 10 times before actually booting to home screen), and the worst, Xposed is not actually installed properly (Xposed app says "Xposed is installed but not set up correctly. Check the logs" with a yellow icon, but Xposed's log is empty. Here's the log in Magisk when I install the Xposed module:

Link to the log (pastebin)

Nothing's really changed here except those many message of bind_mount and some Xposed related log entries.

Don't know what I should do. I'm already missing root+xposed in my phone. I would greatly appreciate it if you have any idea on what I can try. Thanks!
