Hello,
I just installed e os on my android device, everything working well so far.
I want to use magisk but I dont want to make any mistake that could lead to reset everything if not necessary nor brick my device in worst case.
How should I install magisk now that I have already installed e os ?
Is it safe to flash magisk from recovery mode now ?
Should I have installed magisk prior to install e os ?
Thanks a lot

Awesome!!

Though I won’t give any guarantees, I can say that a Magisk install, in my experience, has never led to a bricked device. The worst case I’ve ever experienced was a boot loop, back in the 5.x days, that I was able to resolve by dirty flashing the same ROM. If you have data you care about, it’s always a good idea to ensure you have a backup before you proceed. I’ve been a fan of Swift Backup for the task for modern iterations of Android. Ultimately, it’s never a good idea to do any sort of low level tweaking on your device without a backup.
How should I install magisk now that I have already installed e os ?
You’re probably better off at the Magisk forums or the XDA forums for Magisk help specifically, but the general procedure I’ve done has followed this general procedure list:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img, then fastboot reboot.Some variants of the procedures described have involved extracting the boot.img file either from the ROM folder, or from the phone itself; consult the Magisk guides and forums for this part.
Is it safe to flash magisk from recovery mode now ?
I’ve had mixed success with flashing Magisk from Recovery. I don’t recall a time it’s caused an issue with the phone, but I recall the process being inconsistent in its success.
Should I have installed magisk prior to install e os ?
Since /e/OS installs its own boot partition as a part of the install process, I don’t think that would have altered your experience in either direction. You’d still need to flash a patched boot image regardless of whether your prior ROM included it.
Thanks a lot for your fast reply !
I’d be more confident if we could clear steps 1 and 2
install the Magisk app and the /e/OS ROM to your local storage.
/e/OS ROM is already installed from my point of view since the rom is running, do I miss something ?
Magisk app is already installed, and it says Magisk is not installed of course
Point the Magisk app to the ROM and let it patch it.
I don’t know what you mean by “pointing” the magisk app to the rom.
If I understand well I should have a “patch” or “pointing” button (functionnality) within magisk that would lead to generate a patched boot.img file, is that correct ?
From here I could easily deal with fastboot job.
If I understand well I need to generate a kind of mixed .img between magisk and eos rom that I’ll need to flash, right ?
Thanks for your concern !
All good I just asked chatgpt for confirmation and it made clear that I need to patch eos rom file as you told me (it was just the “install /e/OS ROM to your local storage” that confused me, I would have better understood if you told me to just put or paste the file)
Thanks a lot ! really! for your fast reply !
Cheers
Yeah, I glazed over the word ‘download’ from that statement, which was doing a good amount of heavy lifting. I apologize for the confusion.
I’m glad I was able to help =)
