I mentioned that I patched the boot.img and it should work with magisk. You should use the patched one with magisk.

- Download the patched zip from first thread and the latest magisk.zip from XDA.
- Move both zips to your device and boot into TWRP
- Flash the patched zip first and then flash the latest magisk.zip

all successfully installed and booted into the system. But in the magisk does not pass the safetyNet test. The system update has arrived. After the upgrade I will try to install the kernel and magisk into a clean system.

alximiktik · Jan 17, 2018

I requested a new firmware. Made a complete wipe.
Without switching on the device
1. I installed twrp
2. patched Patched-SONY-XZ1-Compact / [G8441]
3, Installed msgisk.
Bootloop
Wihout magisk -bootloop
Why?
47.1.A.12.34
