Interesting. I just did this update on one of my Pro 1x phones, and it worked fine.

I did it the usual way that I do to avoid losing root, ie. wait for the update process to require reboot, then open Magisk, select install to vacant slot, then reboot. 

All working tickety boo now, version 23.2-20260209-NIGHTLY-pro1x

Of course LTE reception remains unusably bad, but that kinda goes without saying now.

I guess I should wait for the next update for my other 1x.

So are you talking sideload  or OTA? Right now I am using OTA. I can certainly tru the update instructions that uses sideload but doen't lose data, but I had the impression that didn't change the outcome.  I can give it a try,

OTA, because I am too lazy for sideload unless absolutely necessary.

Start the OTA, let it grind on ad nauseam, wait for the message to reboot, stop there and open Magisk app, select install to vacant slot, Magisk runs its little script, then swap back to the OTA and touch reboot.

Done it a couple of dozen times like that, it always works.

I recall that you and I installed Magisk in different ways, and had words here about it. I can't recall exactly what the difference was now, but you could parse our old comments here to check it. I think you claimed you didn't need to do this shuffle with the Magisk app when using the OTA, but I found that I would lose root if I did not do that. I think it had to do with the different approach we each took to the original root.

I would suggest trying the OTA again, stop at the "reboot now" toast, open Magisk and select install to vacant slot, and THEN reboot. Can't be worse than where you are now, and it may well work.

I should say this particular updated 1x has Gapps installed, and I can't recall now specifically how I did that. My other 1x is Google free, so I may try to update that one soon for pure devilment, and see what happens. Both of them were originally rooted the same way at the same time, and both of them are regularly updated through OTA by means of the above described method to preserve root.

The difference was that I only flash Magisk when I sideload Lineage, which I only do when Lineage goes to a new version of Android. It's the only time I ever open the Magisk app to let it update. After that, all OTA updates leaves me with Root and always has.  I will try doing what you describe and see if it works.  It seems odd to me, given that my method has worked for some years now.  And not clear to me why it would cause a problem with booting... I should just lose Root.

I'm almost wondering if the jump from 23.0 to 23.2 isn't acting as if it is a  full version update even though it is not. I may try following the upgrade instructions and see if that works.

Sadly, it didn't work.  Had to do the dance to get it to boot back to 23.0. Still have root. The result was the same as previous attempts to upgrade to 23.2.

I may wait for the next  update and see if things go any better.  Otherwise, I will try installing it as if it were an upgrade even though it is still Android 16.
