Is there a magisk 18.1/18 module template or the last good one is 17000?
[Magisk] TerrorApple:
SafetyNet fails on 18.1. Are there any workarounds besides downgrading?
[Magisk] roscos:
Probably I have not explained well

Xposed is present in the Super user list of Magisk

Xposed is not present as a Magisk module
[Magisk] ahac85:
You can try this method quoted above, but i found 17.3 is more stable in keeping SafetyNet passing.
[Magisk] martyfender:
Did you try to reinstall the xposed module?
[Magisk] kgursu:
Could someone help me on this, please?

Additional info: If you install the update, while Afwall is active, it will prevent the update process to be completed with success. So, disabling it prior the update is recommended...
[Magisk] jenslody:
I never do this, afwall only needs to be updated when repackaging the Manager, due to different uid's.
[Magisk] roscos:
Did you try to reinstall the xposed module?

I tried to uninstall Xposed

1700 is still the latest.

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Is the Manager still installed? If so unhide it (return to original).
[Magisk] lohanchien:
Yes 17.3 is definitely more stable. Even 18 works better as it only starts failing safetynet several hours after boot but with 18.1 it fails within minutes after boot. Enabling and disabling magiskhide is a very short lived solution as it will start failing again minutes later. Works fine for me as I have Tasker do this on screen on and with a widget button to do it on demand when I need it but still some banking apps stop letting me use fingerprint to login sometimes even with this solution.

Hi mate. I had no issue.

It was [MENTION=7161514]roscos[/MENTION] who highlighted it. He has followed through on your suggestion and he has reported back.

Cheers!

[MENTION=7161514]roscos[/MENTION], you uninstalled the Xposed framework using the uninstaller? I have no idea what could have caused that problem.
[Magisk] warrencoakley:

[Magisk] chacon16:
I was wondering if you could help me figure out why the log keeps showing an error when tryin to install apk
[Magisk] martyfender:
Make sure you have a copy of the latest Magisk Manager apk downloaded first. Uninstall your current Magisk Manager, only, then run the installer apk to reinstall the Magisk Manager to see if that works.

Did you by chance, have an unofficial version of Magisk installed previously? If so, the MM is signed with a different key and the new one can't be directly installed over it.
[Magisk] chacon16:
I have topjohnwu latest debug magisk manager and his debug flash zip and just to make sure i understand redownload the magisk manager and then uninstall magisk manager and reinstall it through system package installer or through twrp
[Magisk] martyfender:
Install it through system package installer when booted into Android.

You may have a different problem though, since your version is signed with the same key.

My update procedure is to always update the Magisk Manager first, relaunch it, choose install Magisk, download magisk.zip only, reboot to twrp and install the magisk.zip from there. I often have problems with the direct install method, so I don't try that anymore.
[Magisk] hfam:
Just noticed this and wanted to confirm this behavior exists. I was on 18.0, installed Feb sec update, went to patch boot and was forced into installing latest MM and 18.1. Thankfully it went to plan, but I was unable to use what was my current 18.0 Magisk/MM to patch boot, I had to either update to the latest, or not patch boot.

I am and have been on Stable channel in MM, I'm not saying I exhausted my options and there is probably a way around this behavior but I get a bit uneasy poking about and straying from what's worked for me when doing these updates and patches. That said, I suspect it may be helpful for at least a few to be aware this situation exists prior to doing an update.
[Magisk] martyfender:
You will have to set a custom update channel to patch with any version other than what you have set in update channel settings in MM.

A recent, previous poster had info on that. It means creating a custom update channel .json file pointing to what you want to download instead, ie, an older version of Magisk.

[Magisk] kgursu:
No, can't install it again...

I need to manually delete its previous installed folder. Where should it be located?

Such a great thread, just can't say it enough, you all are the best, mad respect and thanks again.
[Magisk] jcmm11:
Since when you hide it it creates a random name I don't know where it's located. For example mine is currently com.vDIpwaIba9Xbjk.L Only thing I can suggest, short of a clean system install (including wiping data), is "CorpseFinder" in SD Maid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm

You may need the Pro version (although it's an app that's well worth it, whether it works in this case or not, at least in my opinion)

Our you can try looking through all the folders looking for the random name, but you'd have multiple top level directories to consider. Off the top of my head

/data/app/

/data/data/

/data/user_de/

And possibly a few other locations.

No one's helping. No response from AML. Got my MTP working, flashed OREO and PIE using Official and Unoffical Tools and fastboot commands still problem persists.

[Magisk] Suryo75:
Hello guys

I have interesting thing about magisk, i have 2 devices redmi note 5a_7.1 and samsung j7 prime_7.0. I have installed Magisk newest version of 18.1 to both of devices then i also installed grab driver too. In my J7 prime grab detects that i have root but xiaomi it is still fine. I set magisk all the same steps, nothing different on both devices. So what kind of thing that makes different result of magisk's rooting ?

Thank you...sorry for my english
[Magisk] jcmm11:
No, they don't cause hardware issues

new magisk manager problems
[Magisk] kgursu:
Those three directories do not contain anything related. Where can I find the other possible locations?
[Magisk] James_Oakley:
No ideas, but just dropping by to say I've got the same problem. I too was using 17.3 to get consistent SafetyNet passing. I have had to wipe and reinstall my phone, which means I no longer have the SafetyNet API installed. And when I try to download it, I get the API error. :(

But I don't want to move over to 18.1, so may stay on 17.3 without the ability to confirm SafetyNet is passing, seeing as I had no problems with it at all.

Which brings me to:

The reason is this bug: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/907

After reflashing replace the new magisk.img with your backup copy and reboot.

From a quick look there's nothing that pops out, but that log is way too big... Try to narrow it down to only show when the app detects root (clear the log before and stop recording it as soon as the app triggers).

problem with nexi pay app. (banking app)

Hi everyone.

I have a problem with a banking application. Again "Nexi pay" if you want to do the test to download it from the playstore and run it do not create any problem.

I can not get her to go on the phone anymore. I tried to reinstall os android, including magisk etc. (I have the lineage os 15.1 on oneplus one).

Whenever I start nexi pay, it informs me that my phone does not exceed the required security parameters and the app closes shortly thereafter.

I paste the magisk screens.

IT WORKS

I wonder why the Magisk author is completely silent on this issue, here and in the Github thread, no comment, no update, nothing..

Looking at the fact, that's a major issue for daily use, I find this disturbing...

And despite this issue new versions are released without adressing the problem.

Magisk 18+ is unusable for me despite the big announcement of major improvements on Magisk Hide... so far vaporware.

[Magisk] James_Oakley:
Indeed. Even a "can't reproduce" message would give a reason why it's not being fixed. The really strange thing is making a new release that drops support for the old versions without this bug, whilst this remains a known issue.

It helps somewhat. I did it last night and it allowed me to pass safetynet for a much longer period. It failed again today but I think the issue could be related to systemless host module.

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

So I've disabled AdAware and deleted the Systemless Hosts module. Safetynet checks are much faster now and so far I've passed everyone. I'll keep monitoring throughout the day and report back. Last night I read that AdGuard released a nightly build to address Magisk failing safetynet when AdGuard was enabled which makes me think our issues could be related to hostfiles and/or the Systemless Hosts module. I disabled AdAware and toggled the Systemless Hosts off and on yesterday afternoon and it allowed me to pass safetynet continuously for many hours even after re-enabling AdAware untill this morning when it failed.

For those failing safetynet can you confirm you have the Systemless Hosts module installed and enabled?

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

Well damn. It just failed again even without the Systemless Host file module.

My safety net is passing very reliably now. All apps that do not like root are working. It was intermittent at first. I have adaway installed [xperia x, sep 18 security update]

I flashed 18.1via TWRP,

Cleared cache/dalvik,

Installed v7 MM by clearing repo cache and then 'restoring original MM package' via v6 MM settings (this downloads v7 and installs it for you),

Renamed MM v7 so its hidden

Systemless Hosts module installed by tapping option in settings,

Downloaded 'magisk hide props config 3.0.2 v43' and rebooted, (module was still present but redownloaded anyway)

Ensured magisk hide is only hiding apps that won't work without it (I had quite a few selected before),

Installed viper 2.7 from apk (now appears as a module)

Edit: I also cleared cache/data for play services and play store before I started.

You need to use any terminal emulator such as "Termux" for this. I'm using "Terminal emulator for Android". Provide root access first. For that, type "su" and hit enter. Then, type "props" and hit enter again. It will display a list of options. Select the number corresponding to the option "improved hiding" and hit enter. That's it.

what fixed it for me was the previous version of Magisk manager was still installed along side the new version

[Magisk] pote2639:
It's just me or I'm getting annoyed that magisk keep getting a useless minor changes and always forcing us to upgrade by pushing notification every ****ing time? I mean if it's aint broke don't fix it, now the new update broke my AOSP and had to clean install the whole thing again, thanks ****. Can they just has a yearly update or something?
[Magisk] Mrpookie:
Just don't update then, if you don't like change then leave it alone cause magisk is always evolving and looking for ways to improve. Most of us are extremely happy with the continued development I think.
[Magisk] pote2639:
I mean I kept getting notifications to update my magisk and manager even I tried to hide it from android, and untick "checking for the new update" in magisk manager. Hell I guess I has to install the new one since I need to clean install soon anyways.
[Magisk] jcmm11:
Did you try running SD Maid? That's your best bet, otherwise you'll have to clean flash (or restore a backup from before things got messed up)

There are files in /data/system/ that may, or may not, contain relevant data. I don't recall other locations.
[Magisk] guest4711:
Change the update channel in MagiskManager to "custom" and provide a dummy adress like "http://localhost" and you'll get no update notifications until you change it back to "stable" or "canary".

Not our problem your device or rom sucks, Magisk 18.1 had no issue updating from the previous version on Mokee 8.1 Oreo for my Mi 6X Wayne (Mi A2 converted device) phone

You're just complaining about something that maybe was your own fault, besides nuking /system and reinstalling a rom before flashing a newer magisk zip isn't like something that would take hours to complete, for me a rom + gapps + magisk zip flash would take less than 5 minutes, you're just whiny about something that might just not even be magisk's fault at all

Have you been providing logs from these failures to help the author fix such problems? [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] does all of this in his free, valuable time, despite pursuing a Masters Degree at the same time.

Posts like yours are the reason why other, talented developers have given up on projects.

A perfect example of this in the now dead, Greenify4Magisk.

There are risks in even attempting to root a device. If you are not willing to accept those risks, I would suggest that you run your device unrooted.

[Magisk] p-walker:
Hello everyone,

I have a question which currently pops up a lot in the Xiami A2 Lite forums regarding OTA updates.

The official guide says "In order to apply OTAs, you HAVE to make sure you haven’t modified /system (and /vendor if available) in any way."

What exactly does "modify /system" mean? For example adaway clearly modifys the hosts file in /system however it doesn't seem to affect OTA updates with Magisk.

Or does this have something to do with the way Magisk works as it actually creates some kind of fake /system when it is active thus anything a root app would alter would actually be the fake partition and by uninstalling Magisk before OTA update you would also remove the altered files thus OTA installation succeeds?

For example I assume if you uninstall any vendor software like the camera app that would clearly fall into this category and would fail the pre OTA installation checks, is this correct?

So basically I wasn't able to find much information on what exactly is checked by the update engine which would cause the installation to fail. Is it possible that not all files in /system are checked?

I would appreciate any information on that.
[Magisk] trohn_javolta:
Do you mean if SIM card is inserted and connected to mobile provider? Sry, english is not my mother tongue.

No, SIM card not inserted. Is this required for Safetynet status check?

You need a working internet connection (either by wlan or by mobile data) to perform a safety net check. The check is performed on google's servers...

Hello everyone. The Lloyds Bank application (UK) notices Magisk is installed and refuses to work. It used to be just fine before, I've been using that app for more than one year. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
[Magisk] chooks06:
Just hazarding a guess (don't own a Xiaomi myself) - if it detects bootloader unlocked and there's a custom recovery, OTA won't be installed even if downloaded successfully?

The MiA2 and it's variants should have A/B partitions (given it is running stock Android) and capable of accepting seamless updates. I remember reading somewhere the creator of Magisk advocates running custom recovery via remote to install Magisk, not flashing custom recovery (which would require bootloader to be unlocked).

So, regardless of Magisk, if a system app was uninstalled, it could only be done if rooted, in which case, root will be detected. Just my assumption.

I'm not an expert in this area, but still on a learning curve.

Apologise if I'm spouting gibberish.. And appreciate correction.
