Flashing the stock boot image does allow a successful boot now, with the new toolset, however flashing magisk_patched.img still boot loops. I'm thinking that the zip file that was downloaded was corrupted. EDIT: I reflashed the exact same magisk image for the 2th time with new toolset and where it failed previously, now boots successfully. The cached zipfile was not corrupted, as verified when in TWRP. Its still not clear to me why the previous flash was bad. However, I flashed the boot_a to the boot_b (the active boot) in between the two Magisk flashes. I don't see why that would affect it though.

Is there any secure verification of the zip file magisk downloads to patch the boot image?

Is there a way to delete the cached zipfile? When I try to repatch the boot image, a log message says its using the existing zip file. EDIT: The downloaded zip is in app specific storage area, so it can not be seen/modified without root.

Yes, I discovered that after posting, exactly what I was wanting! This highlights another oddity:

# fastboot boot boot.img
Sending 'boot.img' (29821 KB) OKAY [ 0.918s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'dtb not found')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Why doesn't that work, if it works for TWRP? I know this is getting off topic, but any pointers to how to modify a boot image to add a DTB (and how to make/get one in the first place!?)
[Magisk] elliwigy:
yea... he was commenting on the guy with a sony device lol..

on a side note, he can easily change the slot in fastboot then boot to twrp directly from there then flash magisk.. twrp also should have an option to switch slots
[Magisk] elliwigy:
use fastboot.. switch slots in fastboot then boot directly to twrp then flash magisk? not sure y ur even using adb sideload lol.. to my understanding any updates processed the normal way will go to the inactive slot.. something about being a "seamless" update lol..
[Magisk] elliwigy:
lol bro... boot into fastboot.. set the slot u want as active slot.. fastboot boot twrp.img.. in twrp flash magisk...

ur booting directly into the magisk patched boot.img but dtbo and other files werent properly patched (as u didnt flash the magisk zip that takes care of this) so they are mismatched

For anyone having issues with Netflix:

If you ever install es file explorer Netflix will never work again, even if you uninstall it.

There may be other Apps causing similar issues.
[Magisk] RandomPooka:
ES explorer is a known junk app
[Magisk] kotuamoalt:
What do you mean by "known junk app"?

I have used it for years without any issues. Please elaborate.
[Magisk] RandomPooka:
https://www.androidpit.com/this-is-why-you-should-not-use-es-file-explorer

It became malware, phoned home, hijacks your device if you aren't VERY careful about how you use it, lost a lot of the basic functionality, and then they added a pay wall to get back to a semi-usable app.

I have no problem paying for an app, but for the new owners to do it in that fashion was BS.

There's far too many other file managers out there that don't do all that and have excellent functionality.

There are other articles explaining it. That was just one of the first few I saw that touched on the issue. It's fairly well documented. I used to use it exclusively myself.
[Magisk] kotuamoalt:
I have not experienced any of the things you are saying it does. You need to elaborate more. Exactly how does it 'hijack my device'? How does one have to be "VERY careful about how you use it"? And what "basic functionality" has it lost? And what "pay wall to get back to a semi-usable app" are you referring to?

again, I have not experienced any of the things you are saying this app does, or does not do.
[Magisk] RandomPooka:
The entire rest of the Android community has, so I don't know what to tell you. I'm not going to keep looking up articles explaining it, though.

If you like it, use it. I was under the impression that you were having issues with it and another app anyway. So, I figured I'd point out that it's full of other problems, too.

If you're looking for a replacement file manager, I can suggest Solid Explorer or Total Commander (my favorite at the moment)
[Magisk] jcmm11:
ES used to be the absolute best file explorer out there. This was many years ago. Then, I believe, they sold out to somebody. In any case they started charging for things that used to be free. The free version started to become a massive pile of adware. The paid version, supposedly, was still halfway decent.

So yes, the free version is know known junk. I think there have been some other issues along the way as well, but I haven't really kept up with es. There's no reason to support developers like that. There are lots of better options out there, many of them free - or at least free except for some truly advanced features, with no ads even in the free versions. In no particular order (and not exhaustive):

[Magisk] jcmm11:

Hi all, I'm trying to get magisk 19.2 on my G925F but it require a (patched) boot.img to do so. Magisk manager is only allowing me to patch with 19.3, is there any other way to get my boot.img patched with 19.2? -- Pretty new to this stuff and only recently (few days ago) rooted for the first time :) Thanks for your help!
[Magisk] RandomPooka:
Do you not have a custom recovery available for your device? If you have TWRP or some other custom recovery, you could flash the 19.2 zip directly? Is there a conflict with 19.3 and the G925F, I take it?
[Magisk] wibakk:

Is the module update available in downloads something that the module creator sets as an option to show or not, or is it possibly just being wonky? My modules have been hit and miss whether they show an update available or not recently (with changed version numbers comparing my installed modules vs. downloads) on 5 different devices running various modules. I have got in the habit of comparing the version numbers, but in the past I always saw an update available in downloads (today I had an update available but yesterday there was a new version number of a different module without it showing as update available).

Make sure that versionCode gets bumped. That's what's used to determine updates. version itself is just a string that's ignored and is informative strictly for the user.
[Magisk] sliding_billy:
That answers my question in that it is something that the dev changes (versionCode) that forces the update to be noticed when compared to the local version. I am the user. Apologies if my question didn't make that clear. Do you know if this is a recent change to the comparison method that MM uses?
[Magisk] jcmm11:
AFAIK it's always been this way. In any case not very recent.

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You'd have to create a private update channel that points to a copy of the v19.2 zip.

You can take a look at the official stable channels json file for a hint as to how it works.

---------- Post added at 15:01 ---------- Previous post was at 14:52 ----------

[MENTION=8808471]pragyan52yadav[/MENTION] Here are a few pointers:

Don't post entire logs like that. It's really annoying...

You don't install TWRP through ADB, you use fastboot.

You don't need TWRP to install Magisk (though it can help). You can simply patch a copy of your device's boot image and flash that with fastboot. https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#boot-image-patching

Either Kingoroot messed something up or your device is simply unsupported. Try the boot image patching method mentioned above to see if either one is the case.

again.. sorry for the trouble and thank you for your time and effort.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You need to use the custom channel, yes, but you need to enter the link to your custom made json file that points to your copy of the v19.2 zip. Like I said, take a look at the official json I linked you to figure out how you need to set it up. You're going to have to work it out, or find someone who has the time and means to do it for you.

[Magisk] wilsonhlacerda:
There are some modules that are not on repo, but just really a few that is maintained. Majority of them are here on XDA Forum.

Some modules were removed from repository 2 or 3 months ago because they were not maintained anymore by their developers/have not been updated to work with Magisk new versions requirements. (But if you get them somewhere, current Magisk have some backward compatibility, may work)

How to clean boot.img file from magisk

Hi there,

How is it possible to clean magisk from boot.img file?

I've unpacked my rom's boot.img and want to remove magisk from it, repack and flash it to my rom again.

More descriptions:

Im using lineage 14.1 custom rom for H30-U10 (by seyed hasan), and magisk v14 is pre-installed on it's boot.img. Its an old version of magisk, magisk hide does not work, modules list is empty and magisk cant find any modules to download,...

I tried to remove magisk by flashing magisk uninstall through TWRP recovey but that does not work.

I want to make a clean copy of boot.img of my current rom and keep it as a backup, and as a clean file to install newest magisk on it.

I could not find a clean copy of my (lineage OS 14.1 for H30U10_ported by seyed hassan) boot.img, if there is, please put it here, but still I'd like to know how can I remove magisk from a boot.img file!
[Magisk] dope77:
Update to latest magisk where literally everything is improved

U can update magisk from twrp, no need to patch the boot.img from the manager
[Magisk] martyfender:
Above is yet another example of why root should not be incorporated in a rom.

If you have twrp for your device, unsu.zip flashed with it, may help to remove root, although I believe it depends on a backed up stock boot.img, if I am not mistaken. You, of course, don't have that.

I know magisk works on everything 4.2+, but the hp touchpad never had android and I think it boots differently from normal android device
[Magisk] martyfender:
It comes with Linux, but can run Android if you install it, according to your link.

But why would you want to, since with Linux you could run as root. However most linux users don't run as root all of the time because of the security risks. I for example, use the sudo command in the terminal to temporarily use root functions.

However, I don't know much about HP's Linux: webOS, So maybe putting Android on it would be an improvement, I don't Know. Your link has links on how to install Android on it, apparently up to Android 9.

I believe your best bet is to visit those forums you linked to find the best version to use for your needs and to get help from users who have the device.

The few links I clicked on makes mention of root access with SuperSu, but did not mention Magisk, So I would suggest asking on those forums, instead.
[Magisk] RandomPooka:
To be accurate, rooted Android users don't run as root, either.

Magisk, supersu, superuser, all are just a gui interface for allowing certain apps to basically use a root permission account similar to using sudo, but I think it's more like su -c

Just double checked, and there is no sudo command. So, it's either not named sudo, or it's using a different way to call apps with elevated permissions
