It is important to follow trusted procedure to have ability to "Uninstall Magisk" (actually restore copy of untouched /boot) preparing to install an OTA update:

1. Boot into patched boot image (not flash patched boot image, and sure not flash Magisk image .zip)

2. In phone start Magisk and "Install" it (at this step zipped copy of stock boot is stored in root of /data, which is later used for "uninstallation")

My firmware is latest one, v10.0.12.0 and i was unsuccessful with Magisk installation.

Unlocking bootloader was successfully completed (after one failed attempt with "fastboot oem unlock" command).

After installation of Magisk Manager v7.3.2, Magisk is still coded with red color, as not installed. And there is only 2 option for Install there, Download ZIP and Patch file.

No idea what to do next, any help is appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerobatic:
Seems good time to reread Guides carefully.

When stock ROM is booted into phone. Magisk Manager is limited in its operations to 2 mentioned options, because Magisk core is not loaded yet.

So, you are either to

(1) pull stock "boot.img" from phone to BB (using ADB + TWRP) , then patch stock "boot.img" in Magisk, copy patched boot image to BB and then "fastboot boot ..." into this patched image, or

(2) download already patched /boot image and "fastboot boot..." into this patched image.

And only after that you will be able to make either "Direct Installation" or "Installation to Inactive Slot".

The option (1) is better because when Magisk is patching stock /boot image it saves archived copy of stock boot in the root of /data partition, and this copy provides Magisk ability to "Uninstall -> Restore partitions" when next OTA will arrive.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kluzo:
Thank you very much. My trouble is, that until a few days ago, I never hear word "Magisk".

So, I need a lot of newspeak to decipher here. For example, what is BB? I am pretty sure that I already tried option 2, without success, but I will certainly try again.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerobatic:
BB == Big Brother == Desktop / Notebook PC.

BTW, you mentioned unlocking as done only in one step, be sure to make both general and critical unlock (in 2 steps with 2 confirmations).

And do not hesitate to make additional checks with commands like "adb devices -l" and "fastboot devices -l" and/or "fastboot getvar .... " while switching phone from state to state (in general, the more informational commands [which are safe in contrary to "ADB push ..." or "fastboot flash ...." or "fastboot -w" ..... ] you type in ADB and fastboot modes in the beginning, the more experience and understanding you'll get; you can store such commands in .BAT or .CMD textual command files in dedicated BB dir with ADB tools and ROM image).

Also note that "fastboot boot [boot.img | twrp.img]" is also much safer than "fastboot flash [boot.img | twrp.img]" at least as preliminary check.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] kluzo:
I made it!

Crucial step was to ignore Magisk offer to install something, at the start. I answered with Yes before, and that was a mistake. Program would restart phone and erase temporary boot to patched image. I can't remember exactly what was the offer, but it was first thing that pop on screen after running the Magisk.

Maybe that's something new in Magisk, because I did not find anyone mention it in online tutorials.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] alexris99:
Phone doesn't restart after fastboot boot.

Hi guys!

Im getting a little frustrated right now.

I followed all the instructions carefully, unlocked my bootloader, installed magisk manager, created a patched boot img, copied it into the plattform-tools folder, put my phone in fastboot again, opened a command prompt in the plattform-tools folder typed "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img", the process succeded, but my phone just doesn't restart.

If i long press the power button however, it boots again, but without magisk installed, and not giving the option to direct install as said in the instruction,

Being my very first custom ROM attempt I'm a little clueless, what to do.

Do you guys have any idea, what I'm doing wrong?

Help is very welcome:D
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerobatic:
Checklist:

1. Ensure that both bootloader and critical are unlocked: type "fastboot getvar all" and read carefully

2. Ensure that you've beem patching correct /boot image. For example, try to boot into initial stock image by "fastboot boot boot.img""

3. Ensure that USB port/cable/drivers are correct, for example most of USB 3,x ports do not comply to MiA2, and even sometimes USB 2.x ports on newest PC MB.

He booted twrp and switched from slot a to b or he did it via adb shell.

I always solved this problem by just installing the newest ota from miui website (flash all except storage.bat) most likely only

fastboot flash boot_a "path to boot.img from ota"
fastboot flash boot_b "path to boot.img from ota"

would do it as the problem occurs when an old boot.img is flashed (for example if u didn't take an actual one for magisk...)

Hello everybody

my I8160 is stuck in recovery mode. I have flashed ROM with CyanogenMod 12 but my SIM card wasn't recognized anymore. I then decided to downgrade to 2.3.6 with Odin 3.12.4 and I8160XXLL2_DBTLL1.zip in AP field (XXLL was the original baseband version -- does baseband version matter?)

Odin finished and the phone was rebooted telling me the following

I used Odin v3.07 and GT-I8160_I8160XXLK6 which has 3 files. When Coming back to Gingerbread you need the 3 files to be able to repartition.

This is probably because you didn't boot first. I had this too. Make sure you install stock rom first, install recovery and then after the first boot make sure to restart, go to recovery and then flash it according to the steps.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] asderdd:
Nope it doesn't effect mount status of system. I recommend you to make a magisk module that can adds, modifies or removes files systemlessly. Unfortunately b20 rom can't pass safetynet.

The solution is disabling zte's selinux policyproc feature. Lookup the commits at github for details. I don't know what had changed on magisk v17 to cause conflict with our policyproc.
