Hi can anyone please help me, I want to factory reset the phone, but I have magisk and twrp installed. Will it result in a bootloop if it is rooted, or do I need to uninstall magisk or something first? Thank you.

Best bet is to just reflash the stock firmware which those instructions are at the bottom of my guide.

You can factory reset while rooted. I do it after debloating to get rid of extra junk left behind from apps. Magisk will just reinstall itself afterwards. Additionally, magisk will also reinstall itself after flashing GSIs if you keep the same boot.img.

Why didn't mine go back to rooted after a reset??

I honestly have no clue. Usually if I'm using a boot.img that's already rooted, magisk shows up in my app drawer as a stub. Upon opening it, it'll download some files and reroot the OS. Sometimes it doesn't happen on GSIs for me. It might be dependent on the magisk version. I use 19.3.
