I am creating this post to help p2 community who is stuck on blue led after magisk update on custom rom

I have encountered this issue twice on my phone after a magisk update.
This happens when you patch the update directly from magisk manager.

The first time I was stuck with this issue on custom pie rom, I searched on other threads and got to know that device needs to reset to stock rom by flashing fast boot stock files on download mode, just search it, you will get link with details
However, this was a very complex task , also I lost my data in the process after flashing the data partition. From there , I went on to flash custom rom ,then installed apps , the process took the whole day

The second time when I again stuck with blue led , I was on another pie rom, This time I recovered my device without having to go over flashing all things again.

Please find the detailed step below , as I think it may help someone in such critical issues
1) Go to download mode, flash treble supported twrp for treble supported pie roms, by using command - fastboot flash recovery name.img
2) Temporary boot into same twrp , command is -
fastboot boot name.img
3) Once in twrp, go to reboot, reboot to recovery
4) Once in recovery , copy following files into internal storage - magisk.zip, magiskunistaller.zip, twrprecovery.img ( one used in step 1 ), boot.img ( extract it from existing rom package.zip)
5) Flash magisk uninstaller first
6) Go to install, install image
flash boot.img by selecting boot partition
if it get stuck , again go in twrp using step 3 and try again, it will work
flash twrprecovery.img by selecting recovery partition
7) Flash magisk zip now
8) If all goes well , you phone will boot into existing rom

Please like the post if you had same issue and are able to recover it from mentioned steps

I got into this trouble too, when direct installing magisk from v19.2 to v19.3. The magisk manager shows that it's finished installing v19.3 and reboot. Then the phone shows the white Lenovo screen, then turns dark, and vibrate for a few seconds with blue led lighting up, and finally just freeze. No bootloop, just a dark screen with blue notification led.

What I did was going to twrp (the one recommended in LOS 16.0 thread) by pressing vol up + down + power button until the white Lenovo screen come up, then release. I just reflash my current ROM (RR-P-v7.0.2-20190604-kuntao-Official.zip) using adb sideload. It finished flashing, click reboot, and finally managed to boot into system. No data loss, magisk v19.3 worked, and no magisk uninstaller required.

During the flashing process, I noticed that Magisk v19.3 was being auto flashed, so the magisk manager direct install probably somehow mess up with the boot.img after installing v19.3.

I was not able to go in twrp by any means , so I mentioned steps via download mode
Regarding your way to sideload and dirty flash whole rom , it didnt worked with me previously, so I cannot say about that, it was going back to blue led after reflashing

Regarding magisk installing and removing steps, anyone can ignore this steps and try if it works for them.
