Hi,

I have an unlocked 6,1, that currently has lineage 18 ( official ) flashed.
I am trying to install magisk with no luck.

If I adb into bootloader, i can then ''fastboot flash boot twrp.img''
If i then reboot , I get twrp.
If I then flash Magisk zip ( latest ), and reboot, it doesn't boot back into lineage.
Sometimes I get a bootloop ( lineage animation ), and sometimes it just sticks on android one.
I have to keep pressing volume and power buttons until eventually, I get back to download mode.
From there, I can either try to factory reset, or worst still, reflash lineage.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

As an aside, in case it is relevant ,one thing I have noticed is, after powering off, when I plug power in, I dont get a battery charging sign - never have with lineage - instead I get a blank screen. I also can't get to stock recovery from the battery charging screen using VOL up/POWER.
Srangely, if I flash stock using OST ( offline), I get the battery charging screen ?


Many thanks in advance
