- 4. Once TWRP has been flashed, boot into the recovery.
- 5. Once you have booted into TWRP, simply flash the TWRP Installer zip.
- 6. Once you have finished flashing the TWRP Installer zip, boot to recovery on the OPPOSITE slot. You can do this from TWRP by going to "Reboot", then selecting the opposite of the current slot (if on A, select Slot B. If on B, select Slot A), then select "Recovery." You can also do this through fastboot by running the same command from step 2.
- 7. Once you have booted back into TWRP, simply flash the Magisk zip and you are now good to go! Feel free to flash anything else like kernels while you're at it.
- 8. Reboot.
- NOTE: TWRP WILL remain installed on your device so long as you reflash the installer zip after every update.
