So, I tried doing LOS 23.2 (the Feb 9th update) as if it were a new install with were a new install, doing a factory reset and all. It just made things worse,,, I got the same symptom of it only booting to bootloader, but worse because I finally could not get back to LOS 23.0 and, of course, I couldn't reinstall 23.0 because that was viewed but the system as a downgrade. So on a whim, I decided to try something. I did the whole thing over again (including factory reset-- nothing to lose at this point), but this time I didn't flash Magisk. Boom, Everything worked. I was also able to up

Did the OTA update on both Gapps and non-Gapps phones as described above. Root was maintained by method described above (ie. the current Magisk recommended method). Updated Magisk app from v.30.6 to 30.7 during the process. All is well.

Just checked the official download page, and currently it only contains ONE build. I wonder if that is a sign that it is soon dropped completely?

Yes, I am updated to 30.7 as well. It's easy to do (two taps and reboot) and can be done any time. It doesn't need to be done immediately during OTA to retain root. Obviously, I do need to check more often than I was before, but it's not a big deal. I am curious why I couldn't get the prescribed method to work, meaning not the OTA method @Name_not_avail describes, which is easy enough if I could get to that point, but the initial patching of the boot image to install Magisk initially. But I'm not that curious. The method I use for initial installation is so much easier and simpler and,

As predicted... OTA, root preserved, no need to do any dance with the Magisk app. Everything is as it used to be, simply taking the OTA and rebooting. Lineage-23.2-20260223-NIGHTLY-pro1x with February 1st security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps16, and root was maintained.

well, here's a new wrinkle. I had been trying all week to install Magisk the way they say to in the official instructions here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#patching-images This was really just obsession, I don't have a huge need for root anymore. But no matter what I did, root didn't take and every time I went back to the app it didn't indicate I had root. I was honestly about to give up, but I hate to be defeated by computers. Lol. So I tried on last hail mary. I rebooted into recovery and without reinstalling anything else, I retried my old method of flashing Mag

I will do my usual OTA method next week and report back. Glad you have your 1x up and running now Hook.

Might be a long shot, especially given how long it's been since you posted this, but do you have a copy of the perist.img you flashed? I could need one to flash on mine as well, even if it means loosing my IMEI ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
