Hello guys,

I had been using Magisk & Xposed on Nougat before Oreo rolled out in December. However after update I lost root. When I flashed patched_boot.img I got stuck in bootloop (So I returned to stock boot.img). I am pretty sure bootloop was caused by some incompatible Magisk module. The problem is that I don't know how to disable them now - I don't want to install TWRP (because I want to be able to get OTAs) and when I use only "bootable" version of TWRP, it can not detect any files/partitions, so I am unable to use "mount-magisk.zip" to remove wrong Magisk modules. So I am kind of stuck.

Here is what I want to achieve:
- remove incompatible magisk modules
- gain root without permanent TWRP
- profit :)

I have been searching this forum for quite a while but couldn't find some relevant consistent information. Any tips how to deal with this?

At the moment I am running Oreo /w January update.

Thank you

For others looking for similar answers, I was able to solve it:

I flashed TWRP, then using "mount-magisk" removed all modules, then using MiFlashTool flashed original rom (you can do that without loosing data) and then I just followed guide to root using patched boot.img.

Good luck :)
