I got caught in a bootloop as well after magisk updated to 19.1 and my modules disappeared. I tried to reinstall ViperFX, but on reboot it bricked. I luckily had a backup of patched_boot.img on my pc that I was able to flash, which put me back on magisk 17.3, as I originally patched the boot when fw .48 came out (which I'm still running cuz I'm lazy and waiting for Pie). I then flashed magisk 19.0 from the plus button under modules, and rebooted. all my modules returned after this.

I hope that helps someone. I'd also be happy to post my patched img for fw48 if that would help. Let me know! As for now, I'm just going to turn off check for update under settings and hope nothing else happens :P
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Marco589:
So you are running magisk 19 with 7.1.2 manager, arent you?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bbmaster123:
I'm now on magisk 19.0 with manager 7.1.0. I had 19.1 + 7.1.2 beforehand, when all my modules disappeared. When I update magisk from 17.3, the manager also got updated, and I didn't bother updating to 7.1.2 just in case. I'll just leave it until I see the next confirmed working update.

EDIT: I noticed my list of modules under downloads was way shorter than its supposed to be. I tried clearing repo cache, but what fixed it was upgrading manager back to 7.1.2. So now I'm running magisk 19.0 + manager 7.1.2
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] woodntuliktano:
Just an update for anyone curious I was SUCCESSFULLY able to root my friend's new ROG phone using the latest Magisk and it didn't require the Magisk 7.1.1/19.0 "Custom Channel" route

Firmware - WW 15.1630.1903.89

Magisk Manager - 7.2.0

Magisk - 19.2

I even went as far as to repeat this process to update the firmware on my personal previously rooted ROG phone from WW 15.1618.1810.77 to WW 15.1630.1903.89 by re-using the "patched_boot.img" file I created while rooting my friend's phone. (I saw a couple of updated firmware features on the ROG website I wanted)

I DO NOT

suggest doing this unless you already have the necessary "patched_boot.img" file on hand cause it will soft-brick your phone into a stuck ROG logo boot after updating the firmware and you'll probably lose your existing data just to restore it and start over.

1. Update Magisk Manager to 7.2.0 (I'm sorry, I personally can not remember if I updated Magisk to 19.2 before or after the firmware/flash update. I believe I waited but please don't quote me on that someone else can feel free to confirm if it's necessary to update Magisk as well)

2. ADB sideload Firmware

3. Reboot

4. Fastload Flash the previously created WW 15.1630.1903.89 - Magisk 7.2.0/19.2 "patched_boot.img"

5. Reboot - Successfully Loaded Standard Phone Layout

6. Wifi connected internet access worked - GSM Network appeared connected but constantly loading/locked up during any internet use - Reboot corrected this

7. Firmware/Magisk Successfully Updated, No loss of existing phone data

Once again it was POSSIBLE for me to update an existing Firmware on a previously rooted device without losing my data but it was most likely only possible since I had the necessary "patched_boot.img" file before I started.

Someone may already have a better workaround for this task I just wanted to share how I managed to do it since I don't remember seeing any confirmed comments about attempting this and getting the same working results.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
I haven't tested yet. I've been busy with other projects. You're welcome to test. I would use the custom channel first and make a good copy of the patched boot image for backup.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Einheit-101:
Why should you not root it? The ROG Phone works perfectly fine without a custom ROM, all it needs is Magisk + GravityBox and a few other xPosed modules. I am currently using Magisk 7.1.1 and Magisk Manager 7.3.2 with the custom channel, there is no need to upgrade to latest Magisk as the current one works fine either with the latest manager app.

But i will try upgrading to latest Magisk soon, as soon as ASUS brings a new Update for the Oreo ROM that is actually worth installing. No one needs Pie, it brings zero additional functionality, it only breaks compatibility with everything that exists out there.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Einheit-101:
I can confirm:

MAGISK 19.3 AND MAGISK MANAGER 7.3.4 WORK ON ROG PHONE

Custom channel no longer required.

but I can't find the same version of Firmware how can i do
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Hello all,

My ROG died. One morning it wouldn't turn on. Just dead. It was no longer under warranty and I have moved on. That was very disappointing; the phone should have lasted longer than it did. With that and all the other issues users have had, I'll not be getting another ASUS phone.

I see that the custom channel is no longer needed. That is good news. I'm taking the custom channel offline and I have attached the custom channel to the OP in a zip if for some reason it is needed again.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ss1224:
So is there a way to downgrade the system?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] eecoog06:
You might be able to downgrade by flashing the old recovery version first that is listed in the OP (Google Drive link) but not sure.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] eecoog06:
Thank you for all this helpful information! So, for this method of root we should use Magisk 7.4.0 and not the version 7.4.1 that you provided a link for?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
That was a different user. I would try the OP method first with 7.4.1. The problem with the TWRP is that it is firmware dependent and will only work with the latest firmware. So when there is another update, you'll have to wait for someone to make another TWRP. With the OP method, you won't have any problems with the next update.

Hi there,

Before i updated to pie version, i have rooted the phone and working well. But, after i updated to pie, I'm try using root with the same method as I used in Oreo. And now my phone is having a bootloop (where it just show the ROG logo, loading and not going anywhere). I'm not install the twrp yet. Is that possible for me to flash it back JUST using the fastboot and not using a TWRP? If there's a way, please give me a tutorial to do it. I know there's a way on above tread but i don't know if thats possible flashing it without TWRP.

Thanks

Edit : Now my phone is not detectable via fastboot. What should I do?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
You can flash the unpatched boot.img or install the raw firmware. Note that the boot.img or patched_boot.img must be from the same version of firmware that is installed on the phone. Make sure you use the side usb port on your phone. Did you use Magisk Manager 7.4.1? There could also be a driver issue with your computer. Sometimes using a Type-C to Type-A USB cable works better than Type-C to Type-C. I hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I got to update the rog of a friend of mine, he has the fw .89 with root (as I sold it to him months ago).

I've already downloaded the fw 95, extracted the boot and patched it , but I've patched it with magisk manager Canary (as on my OP I use it), does it work? got to use the normal one?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
I believe at the moment that only this unofficial 4.7.1 build works.

Hey, can anyone with an unlocked bootloader confirm whether the command "fastboot boot boot.img" works with the patched boot.img, because by that way, we'll be able to test whether the boot image is working or not, and I don't want to mess with my phone unless that (boot) command works ?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
I don't have the phone anymore.

Will not work:

fastboot boot patched_boot.img

Should work:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

The steps in the OP should work for you. Use the unofficial build of Magisk Manager 4.7.1. Keep your original boot.img so if there are any problems you can flash it back. Also, there is a raw firmware at the bottom of the OP that can be used if something goes wrong.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] anandverma458:
Well, that was one handy command! Anyways, I won't be trying anything right now, as it's still under warranty period, so might try something after that.

And if anyone finds any other command similar to "fastboot boot" (maybe the OEM has some custom fastboot commands, just like many vivo phones have), do post them here.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:

Trying now but can't even get past the sideload part. I just get "Total xfer: 0.00x" on the PC and "installation aborted" and "failed to read command: no error" on the phone. Phone is properly detected so I'm at a loss.

Any other method or idea how to update the FW?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] eecoog06:
Start reading back through this thread about two pages. I had the same problem and was able to resolve it.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Try this version of Magisk Manager:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81096219&postcount=431

The TWRP method has issues. One is that it only works for one firmware version. You'll not be able to use it for future updates. So you would have to wait for a new TWRP to be built before you can update.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] eecoog06:
I can confirm that I just updated my phone to the latest firmware Version WW-16.0420.1911.6 by copying the firmware download to the root folder and rebooting. I was previously on Version WW-16.0410.1910.91. Then I was able to re-root the phone using the patched boot image method with Magisk Manager v.7.5.1 with no troubles.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Cool! So you're using the patch method, but instead of using adb to sideload the update, you copied the firmware to the root folder. So just step 5 in the OP didn't work, correct?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] eecoog06:
I didn't try using the sideload method for updating. It may have worked since I am already in Android 9 but I'm not sure. Is there an advantage to using one method versus the other for updating?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
No advantage, but good to know that there is another option if adb sideload doesn't work.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] eecoog06:
I just downloaded the zip file from the ASUS website and put it in the main folder. When I rebooted it should have a popup asking if you want to upgrade. When I say root I don't mean the actual system root but the highest level nonroot folder. If it still doesn't work then you may want to try the recovery rom first. That's what I did when I first went from O to P.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

Check the original post for the raw ROM download link. I would try that as a last resort though since you will lose all of your data and have to reinstall everything.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Esja:
The sideload doesn't seem to work, no. Then again I'm not sure if it's because of the strict version requirements for upgrading the firmware. I wasn't able to update to Pie using the root folder method either, until I first updated it to the latest Oreo version (WW-15.1630.1907.98). I was then able to upgrade to the earliest Pie version (WW-16.0410.1910.91) before I was finally able to upgrade to the latest Pie (which fixes crucial Bluetooth problems).

The sideloading might have worked if I tried sideloading the correct versions in the above order.

And yes, I can also confirm that 7.5.1 works fine for patching the boot image.

Thanks mate, really helpful.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Copy the full zip file to the root directory. Keep in mind that you need to have the latest Oreo version (WW-15.1630.1907.98) and you need to upgrade to the first Pie version (WW-16.0410.1910.91), otherwise it won't work.

Sideloading did not work for my either, but root folder method worked perfectly.
