Magisk install leads to Shutdown-to-recovery loop

This has me stumped. Today I installed an OTA system update (OxygenOS 9.0.6 on OnePlus 5). I flashed the latest TWRP via fastboot (v3.3.1-x blu_spark v9.101). From TWRP, I flashed Magisk 19.3. Everything was routine...

But I am getting shutdown loops (system reboots, as soon as the lock screen appears a message says "Shutting down..." and the phone boots into TWRP).

The only thing that stops this behavior is running Magisk Uninstaller from TWRP. The uninstaller does its thing and the phone reboots and functions normally.

It appears to be a Magisk-related issue. I haven't tried rolling back my system update.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Update: Magisk 19.1 installs and works. Magisk 19.3 still gives me a shutdown loop. Anyone else getting this bug?

No matter what I do, Snapchat keeps detecting root. I have tried different versions of Magisk, uninstalling all root apps, using/not using MagiskHide, core mode, MagiskHide props config, etc.

Play store suddenly reports Netflix is no longer compatible with my Pixel 3 XL rooted with magisk. Passing magisk safetynet. Currently running netflix 7.13.0 build 15 34276 and latest STABLE Magisk manager and magisk. Play store still reports "certified", yet netflix app can no longer be found in play store app and PC browser (firefox) reports "incompatible" with my pixel 3 XL.

** edit ** could manually install latest version, kept crashing, restored TiBu backup, now that one crashes too as well as build 13 and i'm without netflix entirely

I tried launching Netflix, and it indeed gave me a device fail message of some kind. Hid Netflix using Magisk Hide, and it is now working again.

I'm seeing the same thing with my Pixel 2 XL. I have version 7.12.1 build 26 installed, but Play Store says my device is incompatible.

Installed 19.2 on my Pixel 3XL and Cerberus is spamming for root permissions when google maps directions is open. Magisk logs is filled with request and toast msg is perma on the screen.

the 19.3 solve the problem with cerberus? or cerberus need to changue something? (the developers of cerberus do not respond to anything)


if I keep going safetynet without updating is it necessary to update?

if I make a backup with twrp of the complete system with the boot .. and the update of magisk does not work for me, restoring the backup would return normally to the previous version, that is to say the changes that I made in the boot

Cereberus dev told me to use the beta or updated version on their website instead of google playstore version. So far it has fixed my issue with magisk.

I will make an entire backup because if something does not go well I do not know how to go back to an earlier version of magisk, if it is possible

Good to know it's not just me then.

Hi, everyone.
I unlocked the bootloader and patched boot.img manually on my Huawei Mediapad M3 lite 8 (CPN-L09).
But after doing so the fingerprint sensor stops working, like there is never been a fp sensor.
Im on latest emui avaible for my device (5.1.3), the android version is 7.0 and kernel version 3.18.31.

Here is the logcat and magisk log.

I also found this issue: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/862
Is there a way to manually patch the boot.img with an older magisk version?

Thanks in advance.

Yup, exactly the same problem here. Device is Poco F1. I had to sideload the latest stable (6.26.1 build 15) to make it work again. But Play Store still says that the device isn't compatible anymore.

Hope we'll see a fix soon.

It appears 19.3 is no longer hiding an unlocked bootloader causing the play store to indicate the device is incompatible for certain apps like Netflix and others. Please fix soon...

Yes, I'm using 3.6.3 from cerberus website, don't think it has updated on playstore yet.

There is no way to downgrade magisk which I learned the hardway. Can only upgrade or uninstall. Best to make a backup of the boot.img so you can restore later if things fail.

That's exactly what I did too

Relock the bootloader and the problem is gone :silly:

If you relock the bootloader will you lose root?

I think relocking the bootloader deletes all your data. If you use a tibu nandroid backup made when thr bootloader was unlocked, will that restore the unlocked the bootloader?

there is no downgrade .. but if it is uninstalled then if I can reinstall a previous one right?
the option to make a full backup with twrp and reinstall the backup would also be valid? (exaggerated but ..)
Is not it necessary to update magisk while passing the safetynet test? I'm using the 18.1 and the test tells me that passes this test


I will try with the version that you indicate of cerberus, if the problem with magisk is solved is a big step, although I had another connectivity problem with lineage and I have never been answered to this problem

Yes you can uninstall magisk and reinstall any other magisk version, but it might affect your other modifications like custom kernel etc & redo you modules. I find it easier to do TWRP backup and restore if needed.
