Hey, maybe someone here can help me.

Running a SGS5 (SM-G900T)

CQC2 Modem/Bootloader

Currently rooted with Magisk 18.1

Trying to update to Pie from Oreo (LOS Resurrection Remix) but ROOT WILL NOT STICK in TWRP (latest) no matter the order in which I flash ROM, Magisk, GApps; or any number of subsequent flashes of Magisk afterward.

I've inquired on the RR thread, and seem to be one of the few people having this problem. Others seem to get it with some repeated tries. Does anyone have any insight on what's causing Root to fail? Any help is appreciated!!
[Magisk] Artim_96:
Quite possible. I'd guess Magisk can't unmount since Magisk is still playing. At least if it only occurs when you play music through Spotify. Because for me check always succeeds but besides Greenify and the F-Droid plug-in I have no system sis installed via Magisk
[Magisk] jesterpaul:
I upgraded Magisk to version 18.1 from 17.3 and Magisk manager from 6 to 7

Now my Xiaomi Redmi Note3 Global Edition (Kate) fails safety net. Always passed with version 17

If I wipe dalvik cache, play store data it will pass the check for a while, but after say an hour, it fails again.
[Magisk] Kglim:
Thank you for reply sir :)

I use magisk hide spotify and now it works fine :laugh:

Now i need to fix to safetyNet check fail when i use secret mode in Samsung browser

Thank you sir!
[Magisk] akxak:
Known problem of Magisk 18.x, see Github and this thread... my solution was to revert to 17.x
[Magisk] jesterpaul:
Wonder why the dev leleases v18 out of beta with an issue that significant not fixed?

Must be a reason, and it's no criticism of the dev, just curiosity
[Magisk] akxak:
I wondered too, but didn't get an answer on that. MagiskHide was revamped with 18.0 and the commits on Github indicate further major changes...

As 17.2 works excellent for me, I patiently sit in the background and wait until it works before installing a newer version.

And just by the author on the respective issue on Github
[Magisk] vergilbt:
Thanks, this was the solution for me...

Did the suggestions from didgeridoos link: repack APK new and unhide and hide manager...

Now Google pay is running fine
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
This issue with MagiskHide was not widespread enough to be discovered in the builds leading up to v18.0 and was only discovered after the release. After that the priority has been to get other parts of Magisk more stable. Up until now and [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION]'s amazing job with rewriting MagiskHide from scratch for [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] to implement. Give the new Canary a try and see if it fixes the problem.
[Magisk] batumulia:
Hi all, I'm in a bit of a bind. I got the notification to update to the newest version of Magisk which I did. Due to the update being buggy I ended up with two versions of Magisk manager (One Magisk Manager and one Manager). I deleted the manager app from my phone and later the other one as well. Now I want to reinstall it with the APK but I am unable to because during install I get the following error message: "The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name."

Does anyone know how to get around this? What I have tried myself is the following:

Used the Magisk uninstall zip through TWRP, wiped dalvik cache, tried to install a beta, tried to install an older version (6.1.0) but the same error message keeps popping up.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
It was actually the previous release that was buggy...

[Magisk] X0LARIUM:
I tried to "install" it again through TWRP but guess what... It DOESN'T ROOT.

Slowing the phone down to a halt is perhaps the newest feature they forgot to add in the OP.
[Magisk] alvi.alia:
Can anyone help a noob?? I want to install the latest version of magisk but i dont know how. I am using a xiaomi mi 6. I still have the version 18
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You're ranting again... Without any of the details or logs that could be helpful (if you actually want help, that is).

If you want the latest stable you just pick the stable update channel (in the Manager settings) and press update (direct install). If you're on Manager v6.1.0 it's a good idea to make sure you don't have it repackaged with a random name before updating to v7.0.0, since you might have issues otherwise.

If you want the latest Canary build (may have unforeseen bugs), go to the Canary thread, copy the update url from the OP to the custom update channel in the Manager settings and then continue as described above.
[Magisk] X0LARIUM:
Honestly, I'm tired with the endless cycle of flashing and removing, flashing and removing. How can I help when I'm the one looking for some assistance. But alas, I've really given up on this Magisk. Really miss the old days of SuperSU. Things were less complicated.
[Magisk] novaespada:
Hi I am using ver 18.1 but have a problem with one mobile banking app from CIMB (Go Mobile).

I have put the app in magisk hide, but the app cannot run. when I try to run the app its immediately closed.

try another method which is hide magisk manager option. the result is the app can run but give me a warning that the phone is rooted and I cannot proceed.

Please help if anybody has encountered the same issue
[Magisk] akxak:
Search this thread, the problem is known, revert to Magisk 17.x or wait for a 18.2 which should solve the problem.

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

What about reverting to the last working version? I went back to 17.x due to MagiskHide.

We need to keep in mind that we get a tremendous piece of software just for free. So things can break.
[Magisk] X0LARIUM:
Issue 1.. NO clear instructions how to install this.

What exactly does "Magisk Manager" does?

Here my are screenshots of this app...

Upload 1. My screenshot of the app installed.

What does it give me? Magisk not installed. Fair enough, what do I do? Install. But then what does the app show after download?.

Screenshot 3.

Then what happens?

Nothing. (SS2)

Why can't I install it simply when THE BUTTON RIGHT THERE SAYS INSTALL?

Now, not. Just that. The app takes over the whole screen and won't go! It's stuck!

(SS4)

And I've not even started on the very app.

So plz guys.. Spare me the argument of "THIS IS THE BEST APP FOR ROOTING".
[Magisk] akxak:
Honestly, what specific app are you talking about?

An app alone cannot root an unrooted phone, that needs to be done via recovery. Magisk needs to be installed via TWRP or at least the phone needs to be booted with a patched bootimage containing Magisk.

Then you get root and can continue with MagiskManager. The manager app cannot work without Magisk already running.

Did you read the very first post of this thread and followed the link?

The problem with MagiskManager 6 vs 7 double installation and not recognizing Magisk is described in the thread including links to tutorials how to solve it.

Overall, rooting a phone is nothing done on the fly... you're modifying the phone in a very low level.
[Magisk] X0LARIUM:
Part 2:

So obviously proving myself right that Magisk MAnager doesn't work, I got to TRAP and flash the zip.

This cute little screenshot now says so.. Right?

WRONG. The system is STILL NOT ROOTED.

I have a slow and laggy phone that refuses to work and the so called AWESOME ROOT TOOL is also installed. So what happened?

Need I say more?
[Magisk] guest4711:
No need to update to a newer version as long as the old one works. Stay on 17.x until you really need a new one. Remember the old truth of the aborigines: Never touch a running system!

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Did you grant root access to your root checket app?
[Magisk] akxak:
Perhaps less and think before writing and insulting people trying to help.

Did you allow root access for those apps you tried in MagiskManager / Superuser? Otherwise the root request of those apps is denied and they assume that the device is not rooted.
[Magisk] X0LARIUM:
Nothing works. Never has. Thank you developer but NO THANKS.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

What if I till you there WAS NO ROOT GRANT option ever that I came across.

I've DONE exactly what's in the instructions and STILL I haven't got a root. I've taken the pain to flash this trash just so I could show you the issue.

IT. DOESN'T. WORK.
[Magisk] akxak:
As it does work on my phone and many others..

Stop shouting... if you continue to shout, I stop answering.

Goto MagiskManager - menu - Superuser and check the grant status of the apps you tried to use with root permissions.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
[MENTION=5097461]X0LARIUM[/MENTION] As far as I've seen there's been nothing but people trying to help you here, but from you I've only seen ranting, aggressive posting and what seems like a sense of entitlement. I'll post one last thing trying to help you and then I'm done...

First of all, where did you download the Magisk Manager? Where there no instructions of any kind where you found it? If you go to the official release thread you'll find installation instructions and links to the official documentation (where you'll also find installation instructions), my troubleshooting guide, and more.

I've also posted links to you with instructions and tips on how to gather details and logs that could possibly help us help you with the issues you're experiencing.

Nobody here has been saying anything about Magisk being "THE BEST APP FOR ROOTING", except you... Nobody's forcing you to use it, nobody is saying that it will be completely trouble free, etc.

Remember that this is a community, and a community can only be what you help to make it.

I hope you get things worked out, but if you can't post without (what comes across as) aggressive ranting, I think you'll have a hard time getting help. Good luck.
[Magisk] X0LARIUM:
I'm glad my screenshots have pacified everyone here. Now that I have your attention, I've gone through the instructions on the official Magisk thread here on XDA itself. No third party BS, no scam websites. I've been screaming official since day 1.

Secondly, Magisk has been acting like this since day one. Nothing special. It always just doesn't work for me. What angers me is the unified cries here like this some kind of Alcohol Anonymous group therapy going on. I've said it before and I'm saying it again, Magisk doesn't work for me.

Have I tried other ways to install it? No. Because the official site doesn't have any. Add to that the misery of the app being stuck and refuses to go. Plus a slow and laggy phone plus root still not achieved. You just be Osho to be not be upset with this kind of situation.

Bottom line, thank you for the support and help. But I guess I will just have to pass.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

I've already removed it and I am REALLY tired of doing this entire process again and again and again.

I will rest my case.

Thank you for your help nonetheless.
[Magisk] novaespada:
ok thanks for the info. I'll wait for the next update and for the time being used the alternative (using internet banking via browser)

O just want to know if there Will be problems if I install a later version of super su from the play store after I confirm that this version works.

This is the 2.76 version of super su and the play store app says there is an update.

Just making sure it won't make troubles after updating.

Thank you so much [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] for this incredible solution! I'm from Taiwan (I think you are as well?) and Android Pay isn't available yet, but I confirm Pokemon Go works well on my HTC 10 with custom ROM and kernel. However, some of the apps still said I'm using a rooted device even though I toggled off root status, mostly financial related apps. Below are some example of the apps. Is there any other way for them to detect my root status?

Is there update of this for MTK devices? It says cant find boot image everytime I flash via TWRP.

Hello, i am wondering if there is a way to force magisk into cache mode
[Magisk] naeco:
Hi!

Is there any incompatibility with TWRP?

I'm running custom roms on HTC One M7 Japanese version (HTL22). After flashing the rom, uninstalling root (either via SuperSU or flashing UnSu.zip), flashing Magisk and phh's Magisk superuser, upon rebooting, I still receive warning from TWRP that the phone is not rooted and offer me to root it with SuperSU (which is not systemless).

Other that than warning, the phone seems to be rooted when running though. I'm just not sure if Magisk is working properly. Mounting and unmounting root works. But testing it with Safetynet Helper, I got red warning that CTS profile match is false.

Thanks for the great work ! I hope more dev will adopt this and it will get integrated in future custom roms.
[Magisk] cocchiararo:
Hi there

Today I wiped my MM installation in my Nexus 6p and rooted with magical and pph.

I now rebooted and root is lost, and flashing pph again does not fix it.

Can it break if /system ends up being modified? (Unintended, BBS installed as system by mistake).

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Magisk] JudgeDread11:
Which version of twrp are you using? That check is probably not detecting systemless root, so don't worry about it.

To pass safety net disable xposed as well.

It you did that already then try uninstalling magisk and see if it passes.

If not then either your ROM is not safety net compatible or something else modified your system.

If you are sure your ROM is compatible you can try to dirty flash it again to get rid of any system modifications and then reinstall magisk.

Make sure to uninstall whatever all made the system modification.

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

I don't think it can, but there is a systemless BBS in the models thread
[Magisk] neo2x:
It worked with Android Revolution ROM on my HTC M7 with no problems :D, I just:

- Removed root within SuperSU and rebooted into recovery.

- Flashed Magisk zip with TWRP and rebooted into recovery.

- Flashed phh SuperUser zip (Magisk Version) with TWRP and rebooted normally.

- Installed phh SuperUser APK from Play Store.

- Installed Magisk Manager APK.

- And even installed AutoMagisk to make it easier.

Now Pokemon GO works with no problems.

[Magisk] JudgeDread11:
I am not a developer and wouldn't be able to help you finding the errors, but I think the recovery log from when you flash magisk, the magisk logs and a cat log should give a person with the right knowledge and skills a complete view of what's happening.

Question: How do you remove phh's SuperUser if you want to use Chainfire's SuperUser for Magisk on the first page of this thread ?

There's no unroot option in the phh SuperUser from playstore.
[Magisk] iamelton:
phh's SuperUser is installed into Magisk's image (/data/magisk.img), so you just need to flash magisk uninstaller to remove it totally, and then flash magisk v6 again..

[Magisk] lohanchien:
Wow... Your screenshots didn't "pacify" anyone so get over yourself. People are going out of their way to help you even after your arrogant and aggressive approach. Bottom line is rooting is a hack and as such it requires some basic knowledge beyond what you seem to have or understand so let it be and stop trying. This rooting method is not THE ONE nor claimed to be THE BEST. It's simply ONE rooting method that doesn't modify your /system partition to MINIMIZE the chances that other apps will see that you're rooted and stop working AND to also allow you to take OTA updates without having to reflash the system image.
[Magisk] Ch3vr0n:
[MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] I have this banking app that keeps detecting root. It's still functional, but but the only non-working function is fingerprint login/authenticating. I know you can't block ALL apps or all methods. But is there any way i can send you the apk so you can check if it's for example detecting usb debugging as root or doing something else, and if it's something you can fix or not?
[Magisk] guest4711:
Did you try everything suggested in this fine guide https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide , especially hiding MagiskManager itself by repacking it into random named app and using "MagiskHide Props Config" module to hide some critical settings?
[Magisk] Ch3vr0n:
Nope, didn't know about that but also because I'm sure it's not actively looking for Magisk. On my current phone (Nexus 6p, whole I'm waiting for case and protector to arrive before my new pixel 3xl becomes daily driver) it also found rooted status with SuperSU.
[Magisk] guest4711:
So I'd give these suggestions a try...
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That's not an error, that's information. To find why it actually failed you'll have to look at the installation log.

My apology if this question has been asked before.

I have a question about "check for update". I have disabled it on magisk's setting but check update seems active sometimes. Is it intended ?

Hi everyone,

This is my first attempt with magisk, I'm trying to run it on a android 5 (s5 SM G900F).

I have successfully installed the teamwin recovery and used it to install magisk 18.1.

The process was done without any special errors and after restarting - my screen is black with many notifications of "unfortunately app has stopped" for many different applications.

I was able to revert back by using the uninstaller from the recovery mode.

I did try this again, and also gave a try with previous version 17.1.. but it yielded the same result.

I haven't found useful information for my issue yet, would appreciate some help and will provide any requested details to help me solve this.

thanks in advance for any assistance attempt.
[Magisk] xunholyx:
Toggle Magisk hide off then on for the GPay and PayPal

Hide Magisk Manager in the Magisk Manager's settings

Go to settings>apps and clear storage/data for GPay and PayPal

Reboot (<----might not be necessary but it can't hurt to do it anyway)

Go back to GPay and PayPal and set them up again with your info

Hopefully this will work for you

Good luck!
[Magisk] tinuthir:
1. The error message occured when you tried to re-add your payment method, correct?

2. Unfortunately, for me, the ctsProfile already fails :( Seems to be a bit of a different case.
[Magisk] jcmm11:
How quickly we forget. There were periods when SuperSU was also having problems. Also usually not for everybody. Even with the current Magisk the majority of people are not having an issue. Some obviously are, and those are the ones that you tend to hear from (the ones with no problem have no reason to post).

Magisk currently is going through some major internal rewrites, which almost guarantees that some people will have issues in the short term. In the long term we'll all be better off. Or maybe development should just stop and since you don't use any apps that care if you're rooted or not the heck with defeating any new root detection methods.

You have 3, possibly 4, choices.

1) don't root

2) (maybe) go back to SuperSU. Depending on your device and Android version this may or may not be an option. Long term it definitely won't be.

3) suck it up and be part of the solution. Provide details and information on exactly what happens, on what device and Android version, along with all relevant logs. After doing that you can

4) go back to a version that you know works and wait.

If you choose not to do 3 that's fine, but in that case you shouldn't complain when things don't get fixed.
