Android Central Question

I tried to root my phone using Magisk and at first it worked. Then a few minutes later when checking for root, my phone was suddenly no longer rooted.

I then tried to open Magisk Canary, but that caused my phone to keep rebooting.

I went into recovery mode, formatted and then tried to root again.

Now my phone is stuck in download mode (I cannot restart, if I try it just goes back) and has a message saying... Downloading... Do not turn off target. There is a message in red saying Error Validating footer. (6).

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Just FYI, formatting the phone wipes everything but the recovery and the bootloader. Android, Linux (which is what Android runs in) and all your apps, files, pictures, etc., are wiped.

Magisk Canary was for one specific purpose - developers, so consider it a beta (it's more an alpha, though - constantly). The current stable version is 19.3. And if you're going to use Magisk, I'd keep a bookmark to Topjohnwu's Magisk thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 You might some day want to use the uninstaller instead of flashing the unrooted boot.img.
