Magisk in recovery

If your device does not have ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to be installed in the recovery partition. For these devices, you will have to reboot to recovery every time you want Magisk.

When Magisk is installed in your recovery, you CANNOT use custom recoveries to install/upgrade Magisk! The only way to install/upgrade Magisk is through the Magisk app. It will be aware of your device state and install to the correct partition and reboot into the correct mode.

Since Magisk now hijacks the recovery of the device, there is a mechanism to let you actually boot into recovery mode when needed: it is determined by how long you press the recovery key combo.

This does not replace stock recovery.

Magisk

Magisk Manager is dead.​

Long live the Magisk app!​

Ever since the first Magisk release, Magisk (the core components) and Magisk Manager (the companion app) are released separately and isn't necessarily always in sync. This leads to some confusion and a lot of complexity when downloading/installing Magisk through the app. Starting from v22.0, the Magisk app (renamed from Magisk Manager) includes everything it needs within the APK itself, making installation a 100% offline process.

Custom recovery lovers, no worries! The Magisk app APK itself is a custom recovery flashable zip, just like MAGIC™ title=. Check out the updated installation guide for more info.

Wow, thanks so much for the comprehensive reply @sd\_shadow. Think I may take a look at the non-TWRP method.

Interesting that you install Magisk immediately after unlocking bootloader. I had been following these instructions: https://appuals.com/root-Motorola-moto-g5-g5-plus/ which doesn't install Magisk until after TWRP - but then you're not using TWRP!

In answer to @Wolfcity, yes I had tried reboot to TWRP, but get the following:
C:\adb>fastboot boot recovery.img
cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory

I should've said, that's mostly why I figured it had failed.

I'm actually rooting to make use of Nethunter on the device. It's an old device, so not one I'll be using for any everyday apps or accounts. It'll be dedicated to Nethunter - for legit purposes only!

If the touchscreen stopped working you likely used the wrong boot.img
You don't need a custom recovery just for root.

Sweet thanks I'll look again at what I got

If the bootloader is unlocked, no problem.
If the bootloader is still locked, just flash the radio part.

Also Make sure To Update Drivers
