Weird bootloop after flashing magisk (sh.itjust.works)

Today I installed Lineage OS on my phone. Afterwards, I decided to use root with magisk.

Due to my ignorance, I flashed patched recovery into the boot partition, which resulted in a bootloop. I realized my mistake, proceeded with installing Lineage again, and then flashed patched boot image to the corresponding partition. After that, I got a bootloop again, but it can be overriden by holding Volume up + Power while booting.

All the changes I make in the phone (e.g. installed apps, settings) persist.

Probably, my ROM is goofed, but it is still able to boot from recovery.

I think I should reflash everything from scratch, but I'm not sure about the order. Should I reinstall Lineage first and then reflash the boot image?

UPD: This did NOT work.

SOLVED: I flashed a non-patched boot.img provided by Lineage, now the bootloop is solved. The actual problem was that I have patched boot.img NOT right on the target device. Flashing non-patched image provided by Lineage fixed the bootloop.

For any boot loop related issues on Lineage, flashing the boot partition with the boot.img provided by Lineage for your system will almost always fix the problem (as you found out just now). If not, then re-doing all the steps in the installation guide for your device should do the trick. I was also getting a bootloop on my rooted phone, but I was running Kitsune Magisk. Switching to regular Magisk did not cause any bootloops. Not sure what caused the bootloop considering I was running Kitsune just fine for a couple months until the bootloop happened. Maybe some system update screwed things up?
