Many users report difficulties installing Magisk on their CrDroid 10.1 GSI devices. This guide aims to assist you with common issues, specifically those relating to boot loops and module functionality, and offers potential solutions.
**Symptoms**
- Your phone hangs at the 'Tecno' logo after replacing the boot.img with a Magisk-patched version.
- Manually mounting partitions and loading specific kernel modules allows boot-up, but modules like the camera or fingerprint sensor are unavailable.
- Attempting to install a Magisk zip via TWRP results in an 'unsupported image' error.
**Troubleshooting Steps**
1. **Logging:** Reviewing boot logs can provide valuable insights. The attached ('logi1.txt') may contain clues about why Magisk installation is failing.
2. **Fstab:** The 'unsupported image' error during TWRP installation suggests potential issues with your device's fstab file. The file specifies how partitions are mounted. A misconfigured fstab can lead to Magisk installation errors.
3. **Kernel Modules:**
The manual mounting of partitions and specific kernel modules (like `mali_kbase.ko` and `adaptive-ts.ko`) suggests a compatibility issue or missing dependency. Check the CrDroid 10.1 documentation or community forums for information on required kernel modules for Magisk.
**General Tips**
- Ensure you are using the correct Magisk version for your specific device and Android version. Experiment with different Magisk versions, including the latest stable release and the development builds.
- Verify the integrity of your downloaded Magisk files. Downloading from trusted sources and checking checksums can prevent installation issues caused by corrupted files.
- Back up your data before attempting any major changes to your device.
4. **Community Support:** CrDroid has an active online community. Seeking help from experienced users on forums or Discord servers can be highly valuable. Posting your specific device details, log files, and the steps you've already taken can help the community provide targeted assistance.
- **Note**: This guide offers general troubleshooting advice. If you are uncomfortable with advanced device modifications, consider seeking help from a qualified technician.
