Experiencing a boot loop after updating Magisk settings or the activation file? You're not alone. This guide walks you through common causes and solutions for resolving Magisk boot loops.

Why am I Bootlooping?
Boot loops often occur when modifications to your device's system files, like the boot image (`boot.img`) or recovery image (`recovery.img`), conflict with the core Android operating system.

How to Identify the Issue:
The first step is understanding the nature of your boot loop. Observe the behavior carefully - is it stuck on the manufacturer's logo, a blank screen, or a specific error message?

Debugging Steps:

• Obtain dmesg Logs:
  Ensure you have a custom kernel installed as `last_kmsg` or `pstore ramoops` are often disabled by default. Use adb or TWRP to capture the dmesg kernel logs. These logs provide valuable clues about system errors during boot.
• Check /proc/mounts:
  Attach a screenshot of this file format "mount point Type Device Options Dump"

If you encounter problems during installation, in recovery, or within Magisk, please provide the following information:

• Install Logs:
  Upload the relevant logs from your recovery or Magisk.
• Patch File:
Upload the `boot.img` or `recovery.img` you used for patching.

Magisk App Crash?

• Full logcat:
  Dump the complete logcat when the crash occurs.

Encountering other Magisk issues? Provide the following:

• magisk.log:
  Upload the magisk.log file for analysis. This can provide insight into the underlying cause of the issue.
• Boot logcat:
  Ideally, start dumping `logcat` from device boot until the issue occurs. This will capture relevant system messages.
