Hi,

Sorry for my english, I'm french.

I had posted a question but no answer.

So, I repeat the question :

Magisk works with Huawei Mate 10 Pro ?

Thank's.
[Magisk] Gen5:
I think it just might be a mistake on my end, but i tried both and i still get an error saying that its patched. Also, by stock boot image, youre refering to a backup made after a fresh install, right?

So ive been flashing the stock rom, updating it to the lastest security patch, rooting, and installing twrp using the nexus toolbox. Then i use the full unroot function in supersu.

I used nathanchance's guide to unlocking/flashing/rooting and installing Magisk on my Pixel 2:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-walleye-t3702417

Rooting, Adaway, Magisk updates, etc all worked fine.

Now I'm trying to apply the 8.1 OTA update. I open Magisk Manager (v5.5.5) and go to "Uninstall" then "Restore Images". Magisk says "Restoration Complete!", but it still shows Installed Version: v15.3.

I'm not sure what's SUPPOSED to show there, so I went ahead and tried to install the update (edit: I didn't reboot after I uninstalled Magisk). At some point during the update (usually just after Step 1 finishes) I get this message:

Couldn't update

Installation problem

<generic stuff about the patch>

Try again?

When I press try again it just loops back and the problem happens again.

How can I get this to install? Or how can I get more information about what's failing?

Did you reboot after uninstall of magisk ?
[Magisk] NiTrOwow:
Alright thanks. I tried AML v2.8 and v2.9 both have the problems. I found some post on the internet with someone who had the same problem (A Lenovo Z1 with Magisk & AML). I think it's maybe because of Lenovo (they changed stuff)?

Here is my boot.img and logfile including all information,

I don't have a A/B device, but normally you have to reboot, because the patched boot-image is still active.

This:

Says not to reboot on v14.1+ or magisk will be uninstalled.
[Magisk] jan6:
just a report of not working

just saying that it doesn't work with huawei lua-l21 (y3 ii 4g version)

I tried it and it just made the system unbootable, so I have to reinstall everything...

it installed without errors, and claimed to have made a backup, but since I can't find it it's no use

it is an android 5.1 system, so if magisk doesn't work with android 5 then you might want to specify what it does work with...
[Magisk] jenslody:
You are right with not rebooting the device.

And looking at the second image in the "Devices with A/B Partitions" it should still show Magisk as installed (in fact it is, because you did not reboot).

But besides this, can you try to run the OTA after rebooting to see if it applies on a clean device ?

And did you check your device/rom forum to make sure there is no other reason for this problem ?

I checked the Pixel 2 forum and it seemed like some other people were having the same problem but the only solutions that were suggested were to wipe and start over. I'm not sure if that actually fixed their problem or not.

If I reboot after restoring images, what do I need to do to get Magisk back? Would I have to reflash with adb and everything? I had a bunch of data transfer issues last time so it was a huge hassle I'd like to avoid.

I finally made it!! Just had to go to Settings->Developer Option->Administrative access and select Applications and again Applications and ADB and let me turn off the root, I deleted the busybox, en /system/xbin and su on /system/xbin and /system/bin and installed Magisk and phh's super su and voila!!! I hope this helps others
[Magisk] ldiomedi:
I'm on cm13. This is what I did. Downloaded the last nightly and wiped system and caches. Then I flashed ROM, the custom kernel I'm using for my moto G, the script to bump boot and Gapps. Rebooted. Then I enable su from development options and deleted su from system. Xbin and bin. Rebooted. At this point is fully unrooted. Then flashed magisk and reboot.

After that, phh supersu and after reboot installed the two apps. And works for me. When toggle on/ off was working, installed Xposed.

Magisk Quick Settings Toggle

I posted this yesterday but now I have my source code on github :)

I created a small and simple app that adds a toggle for Magisk root mount status to the quick settings on nougat. Magisk has to be installed of course for this to work.

Here is the code on github https://github.com/bpear96/Magisk-Quick-Toggle

I published to the play store and it should be up on there soon.

All I can say to the OP is THANK YOU!!! Got back in the rooting game recently with my N 6p but to find a day later that Pogo won't work with root with the latest update. Woke up with no Pogo this morning. So sad.... But decided to remove root and install Magisk and BAM! Back in the game and still can use root. Thank you!!! Genius
[Magisk] iamelton:
thx a lot to OP for this excellent module..

i hope this question has not been asked before.. as there is problem in xda's search function now, i cannot verify this..

my issue is that while magisk works to turn on/off root, the status does not stick after a reboot..

i have root turned off before rebooting, and afterwards root becomes turned on again..

is this the current behaviour or my device's issue?

(as a minor note, the SELinux switch does not work.. it always stays at Permissive even if i toggle the switch.. but this is not an issue to me atm..)

my device is redmi 2 with Nexus Experience (android 6.0.1) rom latest R10.4..

Any advise?

Thanks.:rolleyes:

Ok, I just encountered a weird issue. I've discovered that installing xPosed framework and installer makes it so that Pokemon won't work properly. Android Pay still works. But Pokemon Go 0.37 won't load.

Kind of disappointing because I really like having xPosed. Damn!
[Magisk] androcraze:
Most folks are having issues with Google Camera on the N5 with Nougat for VIDEO; photos seem to work. No known solution, other than using something other than Google Camera.

Both of the following have gotten mostly positive results with the N5 and Nougat: OpenCamera (a nice, free app), and Footej (a crippled, paid app). Some users are reporting jittering frames on the left side of video images, others aren't.
[Magisk] chaoscreater:
I've tried this on my Galaxy S5 running official 6.0 ROM.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work for the game HIT (Heroes of Incredible Tales). To start, I have unrooted completely. No root or Xposed running.

Then, I've installed Magisk via TWRP, Installed SuperSU Magisk version, Installed Systemless Xposed Magisk version, unmounted root via Magisk Manager and the game still detects there being root. Had to uninstall root completely to make it work.
[Magisk] JEANRIVERA:
magisk causes video playback issues on honor 8 like video plays on black screen with audio and most of the times the device reboot by itself while playing the video weird bug but i had 2 days trouble shooting the device and finally found that magisk was the culprit as soon as i uninstall magisk with the provided uninstaller all videos play fine and no more random reboots, is there anything i could provide you to make this work with honor 8?
[Magisk] cdiamond2:
Have you tested all the target software on the clean system? I think it is a mandatory before flashing Magisk. And also I heard that S5 is a tricky device and some trusted software may detect custom recovery there.
[Magisk] soder:
OK, without I've read up on all posts, how is the work with next version going?

[Magisk] peeweew:
Oh I just remembered the boot.img contains the kernel, not the system. I'll try to full unroot SuperSU, flash uninstall Xposed then install a custom kernel. But yeah, if there would be problems, I'll just end up flashing the whole ROM anyway.

Thanks!
[Magisk] chris9000:
Okay, problem solved. Skipping steps is NEVER recommended and that's what I did with xPosed. Gotta follow the instructions carefully by OP.

Problems after installing Magisk on Sony Xperia Z1

Good morning, guys

I've tried to install Magisk v6 on my Xperia Z1 (C6903) two times and I had the same problem. First I had removed root access from my phone, which was a todo part. As I use XZDualRecovery, I had two different ways to access fastboot.

The problem is that as soon as I installed Magisk v6, I couldn't turn my phone on. It seems it has been bootstalled. I'm reinstalling Android again, but I was wondering how I could install Magisk properly. Thanks!

[Magisk] Wolfblade1215:

[Magisk] jenslody:
If you reboot your root will be lost and you have to flash magisk again.

It might or might not work without a complete wipe, but reflashing magisk will be needed in any case (after rebooting with clean boot image).

Do you have any logs ?

You should get more meaningful logs, if you install the magisk beta. It's the same as stable, but additional saves the "magisk_debug.log" in "/data/adb".

As long as magisk is working you should be able to install it through the manager by setting update channel to beta in the managers settings.

Does anybody know how to hide
[Magisk] martyfender:
Enable magisk Hide in the settings of Magisk Manager and also choose hide the Magisk Manager in settings. This works for me on my x86 devices with Magisk 15.3 and SafetyNet always passes.

With different devices, your results may be different.

This is with the same device as in my signature, but and older version with an older ROM version and IFWI version. The older devices obviously are also rooted with Magisk instead of SuperSu.
[Magisk] Maxiride:
I've installed magisk (method 1) several days ago on my Oneplus3 stock. Yesterday a random reboot occured and after what it seemed a bootloop (boot animation lasted minutes) the phone eventually booted and now magisk manager says that there is no magisk installed.

What's wrong? Should I reinstall via TWRP using the zip or patch the boot image?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Magisk should work on Android Lollipop. Compatibility with your specific device might be another thing... You probably didn't have to do a complete reinstall. Flashing the uninstall zip or just your stock boot image should be enough (the backup is in /data).

Take a look in the link [MENTION=4403217]Pkt_Lnt[/MENTION] posted. It's got a few tips for you.

Unless you can give any more info on what it is that's causing it, you're going to have to live with it. I'd try disabling different things in Magisk (modules, MagiskHide, systemless hosts, etc) and see if there's any difference.

Strange. No way of knowing what went wrong without logs, but you should be able to reinstall by just flashing the zip in TWRP.
[Magisk] Baalzaman:
Running no modules, magisk hide on or off doesn't make any difference, ditto with systemless hosts. Core only mode no difference either.

Speculation from elsewhere if it could be a permissions issue but it seems specific to AOSP. Currently running lineageos 14.1 and have the issue, however also encountered with slim rom 7.1.2 as well. What I do know is it worked with magisk 13. The issue appeared from 14 onwards.
[Magisk] Maxiride:
Something weird is going on. I download the magisk zip and rebooted to TWRP to flash it.

TWRP took strangely long to load and it didn't ask me for my PIN as it always did :confused: (since device is encrypted it always asked for it for unlock)

I thought that something else might be broken and hence I opted to delay the flash of the magisk zip for later when I have a pc too in case something goes wrong.

So I rebooted the phone without flashing anything and now magisk manager shows that magisk 15.3 is installed :confused: :eek:

I'm attaching the log (from the advanced -> copy log option)

Hi

I can't install Magisk with patch boot image option. I don't have root and no custom recovery because I can't find it for my device in the web.

When I install Magisk Manager and push for patch boot image the app doesn't work.. appears a small image for a few seconds "select type of boot image" and nothing done. There is not patched-boot image at all in my device.

I have already selected in the options the .img option.

Can you help me please?

Backup MM and all your other data apps with TiBu. Move the TiBu file from your internal storage to your pc. Then transfer it to your new device. Root new device, download TiBu from play store then restore app and data for your apps. No guarantee it will work, but it has for me with many apps.

I had a weird issue with the new fingerprint feature. After I enabled it, some time later when I tried to unlock my phone I found that my fingerprint reader had stopped reading. I rebooted and the issue went away temporarily. But it happened again. After I disabled the fingerprint feature in magisk and rebooted, I haven't had another problem with the reader. Has anyone else seen this issue with the fingerprint reader?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Like I said, unless you can find what causes it you're out of luck.

Ok... So just a temporary hiccup then. That log doesn't show anything unfortunately. A recovery log must be saved right after doing something, it's cleared each time you enter TWRP.

Apart from doing what [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION] mentions above (which will only transfer settings for the Magisk Manager, nothing else) you'd need to transfer over your Magisk image to get any of the modules to move over. It's found in /data/adb. Place the image in /data/adb on your new device and then flash Magisk. That should do it.

After you see the small popup you need to navigate to where you've stored the stock boot image file on your device and select it. Then the Manager will generate the patched image for you to flash manually.
[Magisk] eried1:
Hm. When I look at the directory it doesn't seem to contain anything at all. Shall I copy the entire folder?

FYI, I'm using Magisk 13.3.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Ah... In that case it's in /data. Location changed in v15.0.
[Magisk] PereCaNostra:
Thanks Didgeridoohan for your quick response,

I can't view any system file on my stock file explorer when it appears with the popup...

Perhaps because I don't have root privileges?

As I said before I don't find nothing in the web for a root or twrp recovery for my device.

If I can't see stock boot image I can't select it.

I'm disspointed with this issue because I would like install Magisk for got root privileges.. is the only one app that I encountered to got root without custom recovery...

:/
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
You're getting it wrong...

You're not supposed to be able to go to any system files. What you do is to extract the boot image (usually named boot.img) from your ROM/firmware package/factory image (whatever is applicable for your device), place on the internal storage of your device and then navigate there.
[Magisk] PereCaNostra:

Hello. I'm having an issue with MagiskHide on OnePlus 5T running OOS OB2.My banking app works with Fingerprint and MH won't hide it on my OP5T but it does on my Op3t.

App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.bac.sbe.android

OnePlus 3T / OB21 / Magisk 15.3 / MH adds the app and Fingerprint works.

OnePlus 5T / OB2 / Magisk 15.3 / MH adds the app but the app finds root.

The app can be added to MagiskHide and the Magisk log won't differ on both devices. So I'm thinking it might be a problem with how Magisk integrates on the newer device. I ran into the same problem the first time I tried on my OP3T but got sorted with an update (13.x) and haven't failed since then.

MagiskHide successfully hides root for other apps such as Root Checkers, File Explorers and Substratum so I'm thinking it might be related to the Fingerprint code written on the OP5T.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Interesting. Have you tried hiding the Manager as well? There's an option for it in the Manager settings. And also try clearing out the apps data and cache. Some apps won't work once they've found root.

Need help replacing corrupt Magisk Manager

I have been using the combo of Magisk to give me root via the Bad Boyz ROM 2.0 (waiting for BB Oreo to upgrade)

Recently there have been a flurry of updates to the Manager, & to protect my fone HTC U11, I usually keep the setting "Allow Unknown installers" off; so when I got updates; I had to rush to get Allow Unknown installers to install- but it didn't always work b4 the MM install started to do it's thing; so I had to go back & Allow & finish new MM install. I kept getting inconsistent version #'s within Magisk Manager. I tried deleting MM w/Titanium Backup & to restore a prev version thinking I'd just get an update after an older version was recognized.

All I have now is the green background & the Magisk tribal mask, no other components of what was on the screen- menus, modules, list of apps SU allows… etc.

On bootup ea. day I get a msg something like: Can't start MM & I get an option of OK or Wait. This whole situation has significantly slowed down the loading of my startup apps, like Shortcutter, EX Kernel, Bad Boyz Tweaks & BB Mods, & Edge Sense, LeeDroid Tweaks, Button Mapper, & App Lock & System 2 fm getting loaded & registering their SuperSU privileges - which eventually does happen & I do have root & can use rooted apps… but I want to fix this before I come to really regret it.

I'm pretty new to Sprint modding & do have TWRP loaded… but I'm gonna need specific steps, not just flash this, but using what tool to flash (I imagine in TWRP) in which mode (recovery?) & how to get into mode . Many thanks in advance, oldwolf

p.s. anyone know why MM went fm 15.4 to 15.5 & then 15.3??
