I just checked Magisk, and it is at 18.1. I think you need to uninstall Magisk and then reinstall from the 18.1 zip only and not reinstall Manager 1st (manager is packaged in the 18.1 zip, and it is showing up to date in the new Magisk version). That is all I did.
[Magisk] Maverick Jester:
I did that, same issue. Not a major problem for now, I'll keep using it until its sorted.

ZUK Z2: Update issues

Hi there

I tried to update Magisk v.18 via the internal updater to 18.1. It didn't work, Magisk wasn't able to unpack the zip file, so I flashed it manually via TWRP.

Unfortunately, Magisk Manager v.7 doesn't recognize Magisk. If I simply reload the screen, it suddenly recognizes Magisk, but it says that I have to install an extra setup zip to work properly. This installation fails.

Please see the attachments.

Any idea how to solve that? Thanks!
[Magisk] SpikyAndroid3:
I get this exact issue, had to flash v18.1 from v17.3 (no bootloop this time! :good:) but I can't seem to install the additional setup. Is there a manual way to do it?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
There are a couple of ways to avoid that.

Either copy the Magisk image (it's in /data/adb) to a safe location before uninstalling Magisk and then copy it back after having installed Magisk again.

Or, and this is what I do when experiencing issues, just restore the stock boot image without uninstalling Magisk and then just flash the Magisk zip of your choice over the stock boot image. This fixes a lot of issues when updating and it will also keep all your modules and boot scripts untouched.
[Magisk] ianmacd:
Didgeridoohan's point can't be emphasised enough. The Magisk uninstaller is essentially superfluous, because one should always have access to a pristine copy of the boot image before Magisk was installed.

In all the time I have been using Magisk, I have never once needed to use the uninstaller and life is much easier that way.

Missing Magisk Manager 7.0

Hi guys,

Anyone had an issue with Magisk 18.1 where update via TWRP installs without errors but there is no Magisk manager 7.0?

I have tried to flash uninstaller zip and reinstall but the issue is still the same.

Also, I tried to manually install Magisk 7.0 but get an "App is not installed"?

One plus 6 stock 9.0.3 ROM
[Magisk] ZeroSkylineX:
I'm also getting this issue, running Havoc OS on December build for P2XL. May update to January if this addresses the problem.

[Magisk] Exelios:
I just got a prompt to update Magisk Manager, and I did, but then it told me Magisk is not installed in the manager, how?

So I download the 18.1 zip, flash again in TWRP, but nope, magisk manager still says magisk is not installed

How is that possible? I just flashed it in TWRP

PS, after flashing Magisk Uninstaller phone won't boot lol

PS2, manually restoring stock boot.img did not help, wiping everything and flashing back factory image, will stay away from 18.1 for now

HI, I would like some help.

This app can detect root even though it is added to MagiskHide list and Magisk Manager is hidden. It occurs after I login and connect to the server. I was able to take the DNS requests during the process and then tried blocking a few of them but it still could detect root or the app didn't work.

Other apps work when added to the MagiskHide list so MagiskHide is working. Also tried Magisk Core Only Mode but didn't work. The app only works when Magisk is uninstalled. Only drivers can log into this app so if you need more info I will try.

Magisk Manager detects the zip but when I hide Magisk Manager the copy doesn't detects that magisk is installed
[Magisk] catharsis724:
Yeah I'm staying away from 18.1. Tried every possible method on Pixel 2 XL to install it and MM7.0 just does not want to detect 18.1. After running latest uninstaller and installing 18.1, booted fine. Showed as 18.1 installed when I first opened MM7.0, but after closing the app and opening it again, detection was gone again.

Tried all of this on a clean flash of factory image and ROM as well. No luck on getting 18.1 detected.
[Magisk] BoboBrazil:
Bug?

When rebooting Pixel 3 XL after 18.1 update I don't get my boot up screens anymore with the Google logo or unlocked bootloader's warning. It's a black screen until Android boots to my lock screen . I installed through magisk manager from 18.0 to 18.1
[Magisk] Exelios:
What worked for me at the end was clean flashing the 18.1 zip and manually installing the last previous version of Magisk Manager, this works fine and 18.1 is detected, just don't update the Manager.
[Magisk] lingarajug:

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice. I'll keep a copy of the stock boot image on hand for future reference. Restoring the stock boot image sounds like a much easier solution.

Updated Honor 6+ from v18 to v18.1 and magisk manager to lastest version.

It seems it fixed the charging problem it had on previous versions from v.14 to v.18 (v.13 worked perfectly) as now I can switch my phone off, put it in charge and the device won't boot up automatically after some minutes (randomly), so these are great news.

By the way, I saw that Magisk down compatibility to android 4.2+ so I decided to give a try in two older devices (Infocus m310 Mediatek mt6589T android 4.2 and Jiayu G3S Mediatek mt6589 android 4.4.). I get a bootloop (it seems its not a boot problem), and I made a thread to see if more people have this problem and we can find a solution: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/android-4-2-4-4-mediatek-bootloop-t3896788

Any idea? Please refer to complete description of the problem in the link of the thread.

Thank you!
[Magisk] TheExoduser:
Did you hide the magisk manager via the option under the settings? I had the same problem but I've been able to solve this by restoring the manager (on restore it will automatically install the new manager version).

Uninstalled old manager and it is working now I Think.
[Magisk] martyfender:
I assume when you try the above command you are booted into fastboot/bootloader mode. Some devices may call it download mode.

Your above command would only temp boot the boot.img and not install it.

It could be different for your device, but on mine it would be this to install it:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

I made it work, I have the last MM 7.0 hide and with Magisk 18.1, this is what I did:

1. I had the old MM 6.1 installed and hidden, so I restore original MM, it download the lastest MM 7.0

2. I hidden again the MM and still detects the Magisk 18.0

3. Install the lastest Magisk 18.1 (install direct) and reboot

Now I'm enjoying the latest MM 7.0 hidden to play Pokemon Go with lastest Magisk 18.1

PS: all modules working
[Magisk] Zincoshine:
Magisk manager v7 appears to be completely broken. Not only does it fail to update the existing app (I end up with two managers) but everything on the left side bar is missing except for settings. No magisk hide, no modules, no downloads, nothing except settings. This reminds me of the magisk v17 catastrophe. Time to wait for the inevitable quick fix version.

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Sounds like you had the Manager hidden while updating and the regular app got installed as well, alongside the repackaged one. That can happen... Did you try to simply uninstall both Managers and install it again manually?

Ok it fixed after I install mm 6.0.1 and than install mm 7.0.0 and now I think all things is all right

I'm getting intermittent safetynet check failures on the latest Magisk 18.1 with Manager 7. Sometimes it will pass and sometimes it will fail. Anyone else?

[Magisk] geek.x86:
You must also turn off the "phone" permission of Google Play services under Apps & notifications. Then it will work.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Are you sure about this? I've never had to do this and Google Pay has worked fine. What's the purpose of that permission?
[Magisk] abdoh01:
Ok it fixed now after install mm 6.0.1 and than install mm 7.0.0 again and now so far all is good
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Tried a different app to check. Same thing. It will pass on reboot then after few minutes it will fail. Then a few minutes later it passes again. And so on. Very odd.
[Magisk] geek.x86:
Initially, even I didn't have any problem. But, one fine day Google Pay stopped working on my rooted device despite hiding the root using Magisk hide. I searched for the solution online and found this trick. Bingo! It worked. And since then, I have been using Google pay without any problem.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Wow. Yeah that's a no for me. Just turned phone permissions off for google play services and my phone went crazy! Notification every second saying google play services needs the proper permissions to work. Non stop until I gave the permissions back.

I still need to figure out why safetynet check is intermittently failing. I was hoping that would fix it
[Magisk] geek.x86:
Did you hide the root as well using Magisk hide for Google pay? I agree that notification appears every now and then once your turn off the permission. That's the reason why I turn it off only when I need to use Google pay. Otherwise, I keep it turned on.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Yes of course. The notification wasn't every now and then either. It was every second. It went nuts
[Magisk] Techie Android:
Does Magisk support Android 9 yet? Because I'm on a OnePlus 5T and I had Magisk when I was on 8 but I just upgraded to 9 and it hasn't worked.

[Magisk] hochoch:
I had the same issue just now. I installed february security patch, booted into twrp, installed 18.1 and it just booted up fine. Maybe an issue with the app install method?
[Magisk] geek.x86:
Haha.. that's strange.. Okay, just try this. Clear the cache of Google pay and follow the steps as stated earlier. Let me know if that works. Or else, you may uninstall and reinstall the Google pay. Try that first.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Yup same thing. It went nuts again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Magisk] geek.x86:
Bad luck mate. It's working perfectly on my rooted device. I have no clue what's going wrong in your case.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
All good. For me, Pay works fine without. Just trying to solve this safetynet weirdness with the latest magisk
[Magisk] Zincoshine:
Yeah I would love to do that, the only problem is that the manager is not downloading to either the download folder or the magisk manager folder in storage. I can't find the APK anywhere.

Edit: nevermind, downloaded it off of the announcement thread. Everything seems to be fine...
[Magisk] geek.x86:
Oh, so are you not able to pass the safetynet in the latest version?
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Yeah intermittently. On and off.
[Magisk] geek.x86:
Oh, I see. I updated the Magisk today and I have not had any issue with safetynet so far.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Check again throughout the day and see. Mine passes most of the time but every now and then I'll check and it will fail. Minutes later it will pass again.
[Magisk] CazeW:
Lucky you that you got it to boot again. I flashed the stock boot image and phone did a factory reset.
[Magisk] geek.x86:
Yes, you are right. I checked it just now and it failed. :(
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Aha!

Would be good to get confirmation from more people. What phone/rom/kernel are you on?

Just tried to install the same module and it worked for me. Interesting you're failing safetynet intermittently as well. That makes three of us so far.
[Magisk] guest4711:
Are you using any firewalls, e.g. AFWall+ (Control network traffic) - https://f-droid.org/app/dev.ukanth.ufirewall? When the old manager ("Manager") was repacked and the new one not ("Magisk Manager") (or repacked manually) it should be necessary to give it internet permission again (in firewall settings).

Another guess: "Magisk Core Only" mode is enabled.
[Magisk] warrencoakley:
Very strange. Wonder why Im getting download fails? Going to update to February update and reflash 18.1 again and see if it fixes the issues. I'll report back.

FYI The safety check issue was happening too in 18.0 but not as regular.
[Magisk] zipsu:
I managed to flash magisk 18.1 just fine, but I can't install new magisk manager, even after i remove its data, cache or even wipe dalvik, it just stops working. I've had so many issues with magisk these days that I'd wish for an option to disable its update checks, so I can download modules without the constant update prompt..
[Magisk] RandomPooka:
You just uncheck the setting that says "check for updates", as far as I know. It's right in the settings menu.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
You're right. Found the issue in GitHub from 5 months ago. Seems like with previous versions it would take hours before failing safetynet. Now it's just minutes after boot.

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/585

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/907

The second link mentions disabling phone permissions for google play services but it didn't work for everyone.

Updated magisk manager and when it relaunched it said that i did not have magisk installed (18.0). since i used magisk manager hide as well i was able to relaunch the old magisk manager and it detected that i had 18.0 installed

will have to flash 18.1 manually i guess?
[Magisk] firozpatel:
I had a similar issue where every time I install v18.1 and then open up manager, it would say to download new version, so what I did, I flashed magisk through twrp, then rebooted, then downloaded the new magisk manager APK from thread, uninstalled the old manager, NOT MAGISK just the manager and then installed the new manager APK

Try that and see if it works for you
[Magisk] warrencoakley:
Ok flashed February's security patch and reinstalled 18.1 still having issues with safety net going up and down. Damn it.
[Magisk] lohanchien:
The best solution I found so far is running (as root):

/sbin/magiskhide --disable

Then

/sbin/magiskhide --enable

I created a Tasker profile to execute everytime my screen comes on. See attached.

This will make you pass safetynet again.

According to the GitHub issue tracker the magiskhide process is being killed somehow and doing the above should reset it. I can confirm it works for me.
[Magisk] Prof. Yaffle:
I've just had the same happen after updating earlier. I cleared Manager from memory and opened it again and they were back
[Magisk] Hastaloego:
^^ THAT, could someone please put that somewhere in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS?

question about magisk and switching rom

Do I need to uninstall magisk first in order to flash custom rom?
[Magisk] warrencoakley:
How do i action this?
[Magisk] lohanchien:
If you use Tasker then just create a profile with the Display On event trigger and link the task I gave you (import into Tasker first of course). That will execute everytime you turn your screen on. Very simple. Or alternatively you can add a Tasker widget with the task and have a "button" you can run anytime you want.

The other option is running those commands using a terminal like termux or anything else you have.
[Magisk] Quinn23:
Hello everyone,

I am having huge issues here. I set my phone back to factory settings after running TWRP, Magisk and fake gps and routes . Phone is as new but TWRP is still installed as a recovery mode available.

Whenever I try to install Magisk via TWRP flashing method I get "install magisk failed to mount '/data' (no such process)"

If I reset the phones file system so try EXT 2,3 etc and eventually set it back on EXT 4 then magisk installs seemingly but then my phone resets to factory and I do not see magisk anywhere once setting my phone up again. If I then install magisk manager it says "Magisk is not installed. Latest v18.1 (18100) I cannot seem to fix this and have been trying all day.

I want to reset my phone up for GPS spoofing but am running into multiple problems.

Please can anybody advise?
[Magisk] warrencoakley:
Sounds good. How do I import the file. Sorry not to up on Tasker. Step by step would great. Thanks
[Magisk] lohanchien:
1. Long press the "Tasks" tab and you'll see the import option.

2. Select the file I provided.

3. Pres on "Profile" tab.

4. Press the plus button on the bottom right.

5. Select "Event".

6. Select "Display" from the menu.

7. Select "Display on".

8. It will now ask you to select a task. The task you imported should be on the options list. Select it.

9. Back out to the profiles list.

10. Click on the check mark on the top right to save the changes.

11. Back out of Tasker.

Then turn off the display and back on. When it runs you'll hear "Resetting Magisk" then a few seconds later (if run successfully) you'll hear "reset".

You can delete the TTS portion of it annoys you since you'll hear it every time you turn your screen on. Just go to the task and long press on each of the "say" tasks and delete.

You might need to give root permission the first time you run it if you haven't already given root permissions to Tasker.
[Magisk] djmcnz:
I had this problem also and "unhiding" MM was not sufficient to get it working. I had to:

Unhide MM (6.x)

Update MM from within MM (6.x)

MM (7.x) installs alongside MM (6.x) - unexpected

MM (7.x) says Magisk 18.1 isn't installed - it is installed AND working

MM (7.x) does nothing

Open MM (6.x) and select 'Restore Original MM' from menu

MM (6.x) is removed and MM (7.x) now works

That's terrible and shouldn't be required.

Secondly, if upgrading, MM should automatically detect if it's hidden (actually no detection should be necessary, that app already knows what this setting is) and automatically suspend that before upgrading. That or MM shouldn't hide itself from itself.
[Magisk] guest4711:
No. The new ROM contains a n unmodified ramdisk, and MM will be uninstalled if you wipe /data. So flash your ROM and Magisk afterwards.
[Magisk] Istvan_86:
You can flash a new ROM or dirty flash an update of your current ROM without uninstall Magisk. You just need to flash Magisk again after ROM.
