Hello,

Magisk is a systemless root modification. It means, the system partition is still untouched and in the most cases still mounted readonly. On the other side you can freeze unneeded apps. I know, it's not the same ...

You'll have the same troubles when you have to change the build.prop, the hosts file or some other core settings. Magisk brings an option to use a own hosts file, but these solution is not working in all cases.

To identify your device version, just go into the settings and open "about the phone". The build number will give you an answer. In my case I have the build number MAZE_Alpha_A_V09_20180117, so I use a MAZA Alpha A.

Best regards
Dan

Thank you i was wondering what i did wrong
looks like i am also on version A, but then again i have already flashed the system.img provided by OP so i dont know if my initial version is A, it should be as the flash worked and my phone works fine. Is the root only for version B or A?

so back to topic, in order to root and remote system files, because magisk is systemless, does this mean it is not really rooted, how can i remove system apps then if this root cannot?

Here is the last version at the moment of the Maze alpha ROM (tested only in 4GB version)
It's a complete ROM, not an OTA update, it can be flashed using the provided TWRP 3.2.1 version, I ported from a Jemmini (many thanks) version for Bluboo S1.
Unfortunately, the TWRP cannot be flashed (issue with the touch panel), only launched by fastboot.

The ROM is the same as the v8 official one except that it is rooted using Magisk 15.2 and busybox 1.27.2 (thanks to osm0sis) is installed in /system/xbin

There is also a SPFlashTool clean version of this ROM, useful in case of troubles (as official: no root, no busybox)

1- Reboot you phone in fastboot mode : adb reboot bootloader
2- Flash the provided TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery_maze_alpha_4G_twrp-321.img
3- Reboot to TWRP recovery
4- copy in your SDCARD and install, in the running TWRP, the downloaded ROM V09 : Maze_Alpha_4GB_v09_TWRP.zip

The first boot take some minutes so be patient.

Here the SPFlashTool versions :
MAZE_Alpha_4GB_V09_SPFT.zip

Here, if needed, my V09 TWRP backup (new one from 21/04/2018) :
TWRP_BACKUP_MAZE_Alpha_A_V09.zip

Hi any chance of getting a SP flash version for Alpha A as I got a bad flash? Thanks.

First unlock again your bootloader and use fastboot to flash boot, recovery and system partitions:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img.

Those partition images can be found in the ROM for SPFlashTool I have provide.

After that you can boot android normally.
If you any TWRP backup, you can restore it after flashing the TWRP.
Thanks this method unbricked my Maze Alpha A but still trying to work out what I am doing wrong to get working recovery as keep getting decrypt password prompt. Thanks Neron

Worked it out if you enable boot pin it encrypts the phone that breaks TWRP. Don't be like Neron don't enable boot pin!

OK so timing of installing magisk is key to ensure forced encryption is disabled otherwise twrp stops working due to encryption. Testing further now.

Hi, instead of Using backup in twrp, I used install in twrp for
Magisk 16.4. Zip
Decrypt data. Zip
Busybox1. 29.zip
Then reboot (less tha 1 minute) and install magisk 5.8.3 apk

All works

Hi, I was able to install xposed installer 3.1.5 with xposed framework 89.3 using xposed and no magisk.
But...... I had to downgrade to v08 a (I made firmware upgrade with spft to v07a and then an upgrade to v08 a with original recovery), then magisk by recovery in fastboot, after that flashed recovery twrp.
boot in system and installed xposed.
in v08 a, wifi gets better

I‘ve had this problem too. What i did, is that I somejoe got a fastboot connection and reinstalled TWRP. The rom flash didn‘t work on TWRP, so I used SPFlashTool to flash the rom. At first it didn‘t work (sth like BROM_SEND_DA_FAIL) , but then I noticed that you need to check if the device is in the right state, there pops this Message up, telling you that a new device has been connected. If that pops up and the devices name is something with Mediatek or VCOM, your device is in the right state and you can start the procedure. After flashing the rom, everything should work as fine (first boot takes a bit long, don‘t worry). Hope this helped:)?
