The plot thickens. :D

So... Magisk can patch your boot image, if it's directly provided (patching with the Manager). Otherwise, the installer/Manager can't detect it and things don't work.

No idea if this can change, but meanwhile you still have the option of patching the image and flashing that. A bit cumbersome, yes, but it works.

Magisk issues with binary

Whenever I do a root check or open up a certain app that requires root, I get notification from the app saying that my binary files are outdated/ not installed or something of the sort, but root still works.. Is this something I should just ignore?
[Magisk] SpasilliumNexus:
That sounds like SuperSU, not Magisk.
[Magisk] Jular:
So should I just ignore this? Is there a way to disable this message?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
That message is not coming from Magisk, so take it up with the developer of whatever app you're talking about... Not a Magisk issue.
[Magisk] Jular:
It happens for almost all apps I use that require root, but I will work on that. Thanks.
[Magisk] jcmm11:
Assuming you are running SuperSU (and it certainly sounds like it) you have 2 options.

1) go install sr5 https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Just note that since Chainfire's retirement the new owners have shown no inclination to support this in any fashion, so it's basically been orphaned

2) uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk instead. Development/support is ongoing so you're much more likely to get help if/when you need it.
[Magisk] martyfender:
You can use UnSu.zip to uninstall SuperSu, then reflash a stock boot.img before flashing the Magisk.zip

[Magisk] Jular:
I do not have SuperSU installed.
[Magisk] jcmm11:
What root method are you running? What's the output, in a terminal emulator, of "su -v"
[Magisk] Jular:
16.0:MAGISKSU (topjohnWU)
[Magisk] wrongway213:
Ah. thank you both very much for the explanation. I did read the release note, but I wasn't sure if that was what was meant by symlinks and backward compatibility. Much appreciated :good:
[Magisk] jcmm11:
In that case I have no clue why you're getting that message. Logs may prove useful.
[Magisk] Jaymin.0.1910:
Most applications were written to work with SuperSU as the root solution, and most of them are not updated to detect MagiskSU correctly, so they will give you this warning about MagiskSU.

You can simply ignore the message, it will not harm you in any way.
[Magisk] Jular:
Okay I thought so. Thanks!

Hi,

I have problem with "The response is invalid" when checking for safety net. I search the previous post and found that it just a temporary google server error. But when I use other apps to check for safety net before installing magisk , it work fine, after installing magisk, it say "network error". Now I just found out that my Google Drive Apps won't sync any file after installing magisk.

What i have tried:

- Install magisk beta 16.3

- Install magisk 15.4.

- Enable Magisk Core Only

My device:

Xiaomi Mi A1

Android 8.0.0

I hope someone can help me

I attached my log file below
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The beta thread is for helping with the development of Magisk. If you're going to report issues, at least provide logs.

Try clearing data for the Manager and make sure it has internet access (no firewall or anything that's blocking it) when doing the SafetyNet check.
[Magisk] ltf_195:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Somehow I'm able to solve the problem by uninstall magisk using magisk-uninstaller.zip and reinstall. Before this I only try to uninstall using Magisk Manager but did not work.
[Magisk] Valiante:
Having some very strange symptoms of having Magisk installed.

I am not able to update any apps via Google Play Store. Like nothing, at all! I can install new apps but automatic updates just keep "loading" forever.

I tried to clear data for both Google Play Store and Google Play Services - NOTHING.

I tried to remove my Google accounts and repeat the above - NOTHING.

Now here's the weird part, I could not add back my Google accounts at all, I just kept getting a force close message that said "Google Play Services has stopped working". The only way to add back my Google accounts was to uninstall Magisk. There was literally no other way.

Now even with Magisk uninstalled, I still could not get my apps to update!?!? Cleared data again - NOTHING.

No idea what's going on or why.

Some help please!
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Do you have any modules installed? I've seen similar behaviour from the detach function of YouTube Vanced. Only solution I found was to disable the detach function and then uninstall updates for the Play Store.
[Magisk] Jaymin.0.1910:
I also felt the same issue, and all I did was to disable iYTBP's detach function.
[Magisk] Louis235:
Hi.

I have a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 and I have problems with Adaway and Faster GPS. If I try to open them, all I see is a black screen. They simply don't open. Is this a known problem and is there any way to use those two apps with Magisk? Don't want to switch back to SuperSu.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards
[Magisk] guest4711:
Generally you could try the following: Set the default setting in MagiskManager to "root allow" and start thd apps in question. So they should start... and you may reset the setting to "always ask".

I use AdAway (Block advertisements) from f-droid - https://f-droid.org/app/org.adaway - without problems. In the support thread there is a new version (4.0) announced which should work for those having problems with the old one. See https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190753&p=76161796

Faster GPS from f-droid (Faster GPS fix) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.fastergps - starts on my devices without problems. (But i prefer to change the gps.conf systemless using an overlay by a magisk module.)
[Magisk] Louis235:
Thank you very much [emoji4][emoji4]

Will give it a try and report back[emoji106]
[Magisk] martyfender:
Do you have a link to the 4.0 version? According to this post on the adaway xda thread, by perfectslayer, v4.0 has not been released, yet:

"There already is a 4.0 version which fixes it! I started using it on my daily driver a month ago and it seems stable.

I plan to release beta of the 4.x versions after Devoxx FR (where I'll give a talk so I don't have time for support and bug fix right now) and Android Maker Paris. So it should be available for test by the end of the month!"
[Magisk] guest4711:
I forgot to add the nomen "announced", sorry... But if the version from f-droid does not work for you and you don't like to wait some days you could use the patched fork of 3.3, see https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190753&p=75097249

But this is OT here... Further discussion in the proper threads, please.

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Magisk on my phone without success.

I own a LG*G4 with unlocked bootloader.

I recently flash AOSP CypherOS 5.3.1 (Oreo) and encrypted my phone.

That being done, I flashed Magisk from recovery and install Magisk Manager.

Everything went fine but Magisk Manager still propose to install Magiskm even if the app is detecting v16 installed.

I also cannot install modules.

I spoke about this issue in the ROM related thread and it seams that it happen not only to me but also to people using encryption.

Is it a known issue? Do you know how to make it work in my case?

One more precision: I does not keep dm-verification.

Thanks
[Magisk] Valiante:
I looked all through the settings but couldn't find the "detach" option, where is it located?
[Magisk] Jaymin.0.1910:
It is not iYTBP's feature, it is that Magisk module's feature and is located in the module's directory in magisk.img. You should probably ask the module developer to remove this feature, or make it optional.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Take the file named "youtube-vanced-detach-disabled", found in the module folder, and place it in /data and reboot.

I've previously opened an issue about it, but I don't think it's been noted.

[Magisk] Jitheshwar:
Don't know what's wrong but it seems 'Google Tez' is detecting root on my device, but my device is still passing safety net and in play store my device's status is still certified. Until two days back I was flawlessly using Tez on my device but tried to install busybox (from magisk downloads) which tripped safety net and tez app recognized it and logged out. I reverted changes by wiping and reflashing the ROM and safety net passed. But still the tez is recognising root, previously I had no this type of issue means after fixing safety net (whenever it trips) I was able to login to Tez again. Please help me with this issue by providing possible workaround.

P.S: I'm not using xposed. I tried using both stable as well as beta versions of magisk and also I'm hiding magisk from Tez app using 'Magisk Hide'.

If it's not showing the app after updating disable all modules (untick) and reenable all modules (tick the boxes) then reboot

Sometimes it does that with stuff, like xposed for example

Pixel XL 2 patch_boot.img doesn't work

Good evening guys,

I got to admit, I didn't go through the 2400 pages to see if that was already posted/replied and I do apologize for that.

Now, I'm trying to root my new Pixel XL 2 (had previously rooted many different phones) using the patch_boot.img technique (without using TWRP recovery) and whenever I'm flashing a new boot.img I'm getting into a bootloop and have to reflash the stock boot.img.

I tried using the standard magisk package (16.0) as well as the beta one (16.3). None of these works. I saw somewhere (can't remember where) that version 15.3 may work with Android 8.1 ?

NOTE: I see that the stock boot.img is about 40Mb and the patched_boot.img is about 20Mb

Got a few questions now:

1a- if 15.3 works, how can I "tell" magisk manager to use the 15.3 ZIP instead of the 16.0 (or 16.3 if beta is selected)?

1b- If that can't be done through the magisk manager, how can I launch the boot_patch.sh from my phone if it's not already rooted?

2- If I flash TWRP Recovery to install magisk, it's my understanding that the standard OTA updates won't work (using the documented OTA update technique on the Magisk release thread) and I'll have to use a tool (like FlashFire) to the the OTA. Am-I right?

Thanks a lot for your answers!
[Magisk] Badger50:
P2XL user here as well. Make things easy on yourself. Fully unlock your bootloader, fastboot twrp, then install the twrp installer zip, then flash magisk 16.3

True, you will not be able to take traditional OTA's unless you fully unroot, and return to stock recovery. If you properly learn to use fastboot, updating the monthly releases is very easy, and more reliable IMHO :good:
[Magisk] init87:
I couldn't agree more :) I was curious to try that OTA technique but I always did my updates using fastboot (or, in the last year, using FlashFire - That way I didn't have the need to use a computer ^^)
[Magisk] ipdev:
Using the uninstall option in MagiskManager doesn't seem to always work completely.

[Magisk] SignetSphere:

[Magisk] jenslody:

It's an already known and recognized issue, so be patient.

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
What happens if you run this in a terminal emulator:

magiskhide --enable
[Magisk] tech_head:
I went through and ran the uninstall.

Rebooted and the manager indicated Magisk was not installed.

Went through the procedure.

Running the command returns correctly.

I can now enable and run the command with the --ls option.

Safetynet now passing.

If I reboot; magiskhide does not enable automatically.

Can't find service.d or the hidelist.

Something didn't install?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
No debug log?
[Magisk] tech_head:
Nope.

I don't know what was wrong.

I uninstalled again and tried 16.0 and screwed up the install and installed Magisk 16.0 before ElementalX.

Doh!!! I'm tired.

Went back and installed the right way, ElementalX first, then Magisk.

Manually installed MagiskManager 6.5.3.

Started MagiskManager and it immediately wanted to update to 6.5.4.

16.0 working and surviving reboots.

Systemless hosts is now working.

I don't know why 16.3 just wouldn't work for me after the April update.

[Magisk] sk8223:
Does anyone know what to do if the Play Store "device certification" section is missing entirely? I made the bad choice to clear Play Store data after uninstalling the Youtube Vanced module. I thought it'd restore auto-updates for apps. Using Magisk 16.3 (for treble).

I can't re-download my paid apps as they show up as unpurchased when this section is missing. The Play Store is also eternally stuck on checking for updates. Reboots don't fix the problems.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Make sure the detach function of YouTube Vanced is disabled (it is by default in the latest Magisk repo version) and then uninstall updates for the Play Store. That'll fix it.
[Magisk] sk8223:
Unfortunately I can't uninstall updates to the Play Store because there are no updates to uninstall. I got my phone just a week ago and flashed LOS on it within 3 days of getting a bootloader unlock. Flashed the most recent version of Gapps. All I can do is clear data or cache, or disable the app. Magisk successfully passes SafetyNet and SafetyNet apps like Netflix do show up. But I can't get app updates or access my paid apps.

I tried removing the module, then uninstalling Magisk. The device certification section is still missing, but the moment I installed an app (Lightroom), it showed up in my list of apps as the only installed app. Looks like the Play Store doesn't recognize all of my other 43 apps for some reason.

I reflashed Magisk 16.3, hid Magisk (I need to for my root checking apps), clear Play Store data again, just in case, and rebooted. No dice, still the same issues as before. No device certification section or I guess my only solution is a TWRP restore now. Jeez... why is this even happening.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
It's happening because of the YouTube Vanced detach function. It's a bad hack really... Anyway...

Go to the "App info" section for the Play Store (long pressing the icon usually works), open the three-dot menu on the top right and see if you have "uninstall updates" there.
[Magisk] sk8223:
There is no 3-dot menu... I'm on 8.1
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Try disabling it and then enabling again. That will also uninstall any updates.
[Magisk] sk8223:
I tried that before and it didn't do anything. I tried that now and the Play Store's stuck checking for updates again. :( Now nothing's showing up in my installed apps.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Ok... Try this: Go to Play Store settings, got to the bottom and click "Play Store version", if you're lucky there's an update. Close the Play Store again, wait a little and then see if it's updated. If you don't have your apps list now, you can go back to "App info" and uninstall updates to reset everything.
[Magisk] sk8223:
I tried this before (on Play Store version 9.4) and it said the Play Store was up to date. I got the new 9.6 APK off APK Mirror and installed it successfully. Checked the Play Store and the same old checking for updates and no installed apps issue is still present. I cleared data, rebooted, and checked again. Same problem. :(

I think I just need a way to get that device certification section back. It's still missing!

EDIT: disabled the app and IT WORKED! All my apps came back and my updates are working again. Thank you so much for your kindness and patience. :)

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

One big issue... I still haven't gotten my device certification section back!!! But hey, I can install my paid apps now even though its missing LOL
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Sometimes it takes a while for it to appear. Good to hear things are working again.
[Magisk] sk8223:
When I search for apps I paid for, they show up as purchased, so phew, that solves my biggest issue regarding that section. I do hope my apps auto-update by themselves now. I did read this thread: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/magisk-15-1-breaking-play-store-please-t3727125

And someone said Magisk isn't letting the Play Store auto-update apps, or something like that. Not sure if that's true. I just hope my device certification section comes back soon. It is my #1 issue with Magisk... I have no clue why it would disappear in the first place. I rebooted and checked and it's still not there. EDIT: It came back. As Certified. Yesssss.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
The issue from the thread you linked was also likely caused by the iYTBP detach feature. It's not good... And it's not a Magisk issue.

Told ya... :D
[Magisk] ranchu-panchu:
Thank you very much for magisk.

I have the following issue, I hope someone will have an idea:

I use it with android 6 , with android smart watch.

I see that init.d script seems to start only ~6-8 seconds after GUI

(watch display) has already started on screen. The thing is that I

need to start script before the GUI starts. (I have no idea how to

darken the watch without doing it in the script).

I also get a message from magisK at about the same time that the script starts saying that

universal init.d was granted root access. (I see when it starts because it creates a file in /data/Test.log , and I check this folder every second to see if the file exists...) .

Maybe this late privilege explain why init.d started so late in startup ?

I suspect that maybe only after getting this privilege that the script

starts running (and that may explain why GUI started before).

Is there a way to grant init.d earlier ? How is it that the GUI started before init.d scripts ?

Thank you for your time,

ranran
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Try placing your script in /sbin/.core/img/.core/post-fs-data.d or /sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d instead, depending on how early you need it to run. If you need it really early use post-fs-data.d, but keep in mind that scripts run that early might break things.
