[MENTION=8804473]DeWir3[/MENTION] Will be modules also preserved when I use uninstaller via fastboot to uninstall Magisk?

What about using Titanium Backup to backup Magisk modules and configuration?

I don't know. If you uninstall via Magisk Manager and choose "Restore Images" as described in the quote, modules and configuration are preserved though.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] freekarol:
I was asking because there can be a situation when we must use the uninstaller to uninstall Magisk. It happened a month ago when Magisk made bootloop after updating Magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
If I have already magisk (rooted) & new updates is available & I can't install it. Then does it exist some way to install it immediate without needing to flash all the rom from the beginning ? I have tried the solution of restore image via magisk but it was successfull only for the first update. In next updates, I face continually errors. I tried to flash the patched boot.img of my current os but the result was to lose twrp & magisk (root) but again the update couldn't be finished completely. In first update, I did it via restore image of magisk. In second, the restore of magisk didn't work, & I flashed my stock os via mi flash tool & after I could get the update & in third I found the update & I flashed it via twrp. I need some way which is immediate without needing to download roms to flash it except from the ota rom which is done automatically. I don't care if with this way, I lose twrp or magisk because I can install them immediate from adb via pc. The retore image of magisk was very nice way but it isn't always successful.

Can't install OTA October Update

I just rooted my MiA1 and now i can't install the October update. Also, when i try to lock the bootloader by fastboot, it shows "THE SYSTEM WAS DESTROYED" and can't boot the device. It just works with bootloader unlocked. Any help is appreciated!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gyro01:
the guide isn't that clear, after installing the magisk apk (which you have to find in the other guide) you should open magisk app and install anything, but to shut down the phone and then do the fastboot process, only then you do the direct method installation via the magisk app.. it wasn't clear to me so I had to confirm it in other guide
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Parnas72:
You have modified some of your system partitions, that's why the update does not install and you can't boot if you relock the BL.

You should reflash the 9.6.6.0 stock image to have OTA working again.

Tonight I had the same issue trying to update via OTA to 9.6.7.0... the update failed, I ran logcat during the update process and I found that the process blocked upon update of the /dsp file-system (probably some app that I tried had modified that partition). I reflashed dsp from fastboot and then the OTA went flawlessly. :)

Of course in order to update via OTA you have to be completely stock, so first thing you need to remove Magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mazen550:
salam alaikum

hey i was kinda like you

first download stock rom from this this https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dw87qgRNGxfj7UZduHK91LE6X1Xs7CWL

download tissot-F not tissot-T ( it my work but i do it with F and it workded elhamd l allah )

look just ulock the bootloader if it locked

when you download file extract it to your computer

you will find "flash_all" just rename it to "flash_all_except_storage" cause mi flash tool read it like that

anyway now download mi flash https://app.box.com/s/utcln153ndvlwufev5pja6k87wdg7zid

ok when every thing is done

open mi flash and put the directory of the extracted files

then go to fastboot mode ( volume down + power )

your mobile will appear in mi flash tool ( if not click refresh and check cable )

then click flash then you will find an increasing timer and do not close untill it says ( flash done )

you gonna think it stocks at some point so i am telling you wil take around 3 min. stuck but just wait and don't close untill the timer stoped and show "flash done"

just make sure that timer stoped

cause in my first time i thought it finnished then when i boot i found no imei

anyway i flashed it again and this time i waited until it finished and everything is done

or just wait until phone reboot itself ( it reboot itself when the process done )

this will make you phone if rooted to be unrooted :"(

cause it will make it stock ( anyway its stock 8.1 septemper update )

anyway now don't make root just update to octoper first then make the steps with octoper boot file https://files.fm/f/bswe67a6

and keep the file on your PC in case you don't receive any ota so then open mi flash and flash the stock and then do ota
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] myself379:

Install magisk manager and then choose direct install.

To unroot just select uninstall and then complete uninstall in magisk manager.

Then lock bootloader while holding volume down button here too.

The recovery is stored in the bootloader, so you can't have the stock bootloader and TWRP at the same time. Stock bootloader means stock recovery as well.

You don't need to reinstall any module, Magisk configuration and modules are not lost when you update the system.

When you reflash Magisk after the update you will find everything as it was before.

As I said, there are other methods like this one, but Magisk is simpler.

Expensive.

After performing Root.

There is loss in quality of dual camera?

Is there any compromise of some process of the Xiaomi Mi A1?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] chjohans:
Disclaimer: I have no experience with Nokia phones since the "Symbian time". :)

But the OTA update process in general will detect that a phone has been "tampered with" (in this case Magisk has been installed so the boot partition has been altered), and then refuse to install. This is the case with the MI A1 and it's most likely the case with your Nokia phone as well.

In any case, if you do update through OTA and succeed with Magisk installed your "root" will almost certainly (read: for sure) be gone anyhow as your boot partition will be updated during the OTA update. So your best bet is to uninstall Magisk before you attempt an OTA update.

Just be sure that you are able to root your phone again after the OTA update, if that is important to you.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Parnas72:
:confused: What is expensive ?

Root itself does not compromise the quality of anything, it just allows you to apply custom modifications to the system. It's what you do with root privileges that may affect the system behavior.
