I installed adaway after rooting. Configured hosts file and rebooted. The system went into bootloop. How should I install it? Any additional steps? I am using miui 11 with agni kernel.

Did you acquire root correctly? How did you root? Did you install magisk manager? Was the device working perfectly after rooting? Did you flash ARB 4?

Did you check on Magisk manager settings>systemless hosts?
Yeah. I enabled systemless hosts before installing adaway. I flashed everything again. I'll try Adaway once more and see if it works properly this time. Is there anything I should configure in the Adaway settings before I proceed with it?
Also I would like to add Energized hosts to adaway amd I clearly dont know how that works. It would be helpful someone gave some steps for that.

First two silly question; it is included in some custom ROMs. Are you sure that you didn't install it over other version?
And, the systemless hosts have to be activated then device have to be rebooted for first time and then update hosts on AdAway and then reboot again.
The better is to start for a clean install, tap on the Adaway icon and go to settings of the app, clear cache and then clear data and finally uninstall it.
It may be the version, I use the 4.2.6 and never did give me errors.
Regarding include Energized hosts you can add it navigating with a browser to Energized site, you will find different extensions (Spark, Blu, Ultimate, etc; according the target you want, I should use the txt format then open AdAway and upper to the left you will find the option to add a source inside "Hosts sources" then tap on + , paste the txt copied before, check the link that https is not duplicated or something like this, after that apply it so it can update it.

Okay. Thanks for that. And I've flashed stock miui rom. So its not included. I'll do it again following your advice. ?
