Usually you don't even have to flash TWRP recovery if you want to keep original recovery, you can just boot it with "fastboot boot twrp.img".

Just a FYI, the latest magisk 17 has not been working for me. Magisk 16 works just fine.
I am on the xiaomi.eu rom

I'm on latest xiaomi.eu and Magisk 17.1 is working fine

That's strange... I've using magisk on 6 device's and never had this sort of problems. Uninstall magisk and check if it's working again

@簡_OvO
On what Rom you have this problem with Magisk ?
I use Mi Pad 4 LTE and Magisk 17.1 on AOSP 8.1_v25 and everything works as it should.
Magisk it has nothing to do with Modem/Baseband he patching Kernel.
After using Magisk uninstaller or restore stock Kernel works for you LTE ?

Could you please explain where I find the mipad 4 boot image when using this method to patch it?
When choosing the option in magisk manager to patch boot image I have to search for the original boot image to patch as the app doesn't point staight to it...
Many thanks

@Tysovwik, I see you want keep miui. You have to block overwriting recovery by original one. I have seen option for it in twrp, but i have not tested it. The same you can have if you use special zip package.
Twrp has second option for auto install magisk 17.1, but i installed it from zip file (twrp labeled 20.12.2018 can have 18.0)

My plan is to follow this process.
Does anyone know if I still have to do step (1) ? or how that is done ?

Some noobie questions.
I already have TWRP installed in my Mi pad 4, and want to keep my original MIUI rom
To install Magisk what should I do next?
Just flash magisk from twrp?
Do I need to flash no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip?
Select any option of wipe in twrp before flashing Magisk?
If I get a bootloop can I just use Magisk unistaller?

I would wipe cache /dalvik cache before and wipe cache again after flashing. But yeah, just flash the magisk zip. You check in the settings under security if your device is encrypted, which I'm guessing it probably is already. In which case there's no need to flash no verify encrypt zip. Unless you want to have no encryption. In which case you'll have to start all over, complete format in twrp then flash magisk and no encrypt zip before first boot.
If you want to stay encrypted (assuming you are already), just flash magisk. I haven't done it in a while! So not sure if magisk manager will be installed with zip flash, if it's not there when you boot to system, just download and install latest magisk manager. You can always then download a root checker app from playstore to be sure all went well.
Good luck dude
