Direct installing newest Magisk update wiped out my entire system & forces fastboot
I just want to make it clear that I've rooted this phone since a year or 2 ago and the updates for Magisk have been working fine until recently. Saw that there was a 20.2 Magisk update, direct installed it per recommendation, and it forces me into Fastboot mode loop. The only way for me to even get out of it was to go to download mode where TWRP saved my ass cause it didn't show up when trying to boot into recovery using normal methods (i.e. pressing power + vol down and fastboot commands). While on TWRP, I've noticed it said 0mb so I tried doing the "Change into EX2 and back into EX4" method. It worked but my data was wiped (however Internal shouldn't be wiped). I reflashed stock Oreo rom + root and tried to direct install Magisk update again to see if that's really the culprit and fair enough, it did the same thing. There goes my data & everything else that was in there for years.
Tl;dr
DO NOT DIRECT UPDATE MAGISK 20.2 BC IT WIPES YOUR SYSTEM
