Hello everyone. I have the Zenfone 5z device and I have always used the device with root access and it works very well, but I noticed that some things didn’t open anymore, like EA Games games (Fifa, Madden, Sims. When they open and the screen rotates, it locks automatically, and keeps rotating the locked screen until it locks) and some banking apps open and close. While using Magisk, I hide them all, but the problem with these details remains. I use Android 10 in its last update, formatted the device and the problem continued. I downgraded to Android 9 and returned to normal operation, but when I did the root, it started all over again. I did some tests and noticed that some sensors, such as rotation, compass and etc., are being affected, and the functioning is being compromised. Has anyone seen this problem and would know how to guide me how to solve it? What else would I need to hide in the Magisk Manager (I put all the files on the system and also did not solve). Appreciate!

Magisk install failing in TWRP 3.4

I've had some issues with EdXposed tripping safetynet and not being able to un-trip it, so I tried doing a clean installation of the OS in TWRP 3.3.1-0. Problem is, I was receiving an error and after searching for a solution, upgrading to the latest version of TWRP seemed like the best option. That did the trick, but now I am unable to install Magisk via the "install" from TWRP, it simply says "installation failed" and after searching for a bit I haven't found anything similar that can solve my problem. Note that everything was working fine before EdXposed, (safetynet, Magisk, TWRP, etc. No issues whatsoever). I'm not someone with a bunch of knowledge on rooting and stuff, but I can do basic tasks. That being said, I have fiddled around the new TWRP and I have not seen any type of logs.

TL;DR: After clean installation of OS and TWRP 3.4, Magisk is unable to be installed.

[MENTION=10945787]Oneplus 5T guy[/MENTION] Best way you get help would be to post the recovery log from the installation.
[Magisk] Oneplus 5T guy:
[MENTION=4667597]Didgeridoohan[/MENTION] I haven't found anything that can lead me to the logs inside the new TWRP, but i have made a video showing what happens, if you know of a way to access the logs, i'd happily share them, but currently, i have no knowledge of how to get it. :(

[Magisk] BrahmaGandhi:
wait..that doesn't look like TWRP for me. from the video you provided, you're tried installing magisk from stock recovery, you cannot do that
[Magisk] Oneplus 5T guy:
ok... im an idiot... apparently installing TWRP 3.4 uninstalled the last version and didnt install anything else... I'll install TWRP with fastboot ( i simply used the method from within twrp to upgrade it... i didnt even notice it.. I'll install it and post a reply. Thank you for pointing that out!
[Magisk] RandomPooka:
To my knowledge, TWRP can't uninstall and restore stock recovery. Unless it perhaps makes a backup of stock boot
[Magisk] Oneplus 5T guy:
It worked!!! Thank you so much for your help and fast replies.

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

I honestly don't know what happened, i was following step by step the XDA guide on how to install TWRP while having a lower version of TWRP installed. I did everything and got the stock recovery back apparently.
[Magisk] martyfender:
Some devices, such as my Onn 8, Android 9 tablets, will revert to the stock recovery after you install twrp and don't immediately reboot to it, instead of the system, or standard boot.
[Magisk] zgfg:
Why not, if you have stock recovery.img (depending on your firmware, there are various methods how/where to extract it from the full OTA packages), you choose Image files and select to install to Recovery.

Only if, for some reason, that doesn't work on your specific device/its TWRP

Same way, you can switch from one TWRP to another, by installing it twrp.img to Recovery

[Magisk] Tannuu:
For about two months now, the game Epic Seven has started to detect root and therefore refuse to start up on my phone. I have the 20.4 version. According to Google, this is due to them detecting magisk using a bug in magisk hide. People were using a custom version to fix this issue, but I would really like to avoid using a custom version since I like to use the official release, and it's annoying having to switch back when the official version updates to fix the bug.

So I was wondering when this bug might be fixed in the official version of magisk?
[Magisk] DroidJP:
Hey guys

I am having a issue with magisk manager 291 canary version. The root access prompt gets stuck in a loop of closing and opening. It will keep doing this until it times out.

This prevents me from tapping grant or deny apps because of this. I ended up reverting back to version 289. I'll just ignore the update manager in magisk manager for now.

Also, what is happening with canary builds? All i see is manager 291 in github but the zip has 289 (sorry, been out of the loop lately)

Thanks!
[Magisk] guhvanoh:
I've no idea what will get fixed and when but I do know you can try the Magisk Canary version and sing it's praises...
[Magisk] JudgeDread11:
He meant, TWRP can't restore stick recovery without it input. For example in a failed update attempt.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Try canary (as mentioned already), if it isn't fixed in canary check if the bug is reported on GitHub. If not, then file a bug report with as much info as possible.

Magisk is always in active development. And if a fix already exists it should make it to the official release if the right channels are followed.
[Magisk] Aporzio:
So if you failed safetynet cts cause of this but then decided to return phone to stock and lock bootloader would it still fail safetynet? I'm confused by all this.
[Magisk] zgfg:
Of course that if you reinstall stock and lock Bootliader, SafetyNet and everything will pass

But did you read all that was discussed here over the weeks - there is a method how to pass CTS Profile/SafetyNet with unlocked Bootloader and Magisk, by use of Magisk Hide Props Config (or by Hatdwareyoff)
[Magisk] Aporzio:
I'm already using hardwareoff so yes I read through some. What is the method through magisk hide props? like what options do I have to select?
[Magisk] zgfg:
It was also described here - just diifferent tools to achieve the same props change(s) and to pass CTS
[Magisk] Aporzio:
Ok thanks

Hi!

I was using Xiaomi Miui Global 11 and I have updated to Xiaomi Miui EU 12 and I cannot root my phone with magisk.

I use TWRP, I flash Magisk 20.4, then disable dm-verity forceencrypt and when I reboot, I have no root, Magisk is not installed.

Everything has been working nice since I jumped to Miui 12

Any idea?

Thank you for your time
[Magisk] zgfg:
For rooting MIUI, you don't need to mess with disabling dm-verity and so (copy-paste guides ask for that, maybe for formatting data, maybe even for wiping Vendor - all not needed)

Just extract boot.img from recovery/zip distribution, patch in Magidk Manager by keeping both DM Verity and Force encryption On (disable only Ramdisk option) and flash the patched boot img from Fastboot

You can do that all without TWRP (although, you can also install TWRP, it's independent, one can go with or without the other)
[Magisk] Bortex19:
You have solved it!

Thank you very much because I have been the whole day trying to fix it. I don't know why it doesn't work with TWRP this time, but flashing the boot.img was the solution.

About dm-verity, it was something mandatory for me when I tried to root my phone, with out it I got stuck on boot loop. This time, I didn't need it
[Magisk] drezz2:
Goodnight

I am trying to update to the latest version of lineage on my oneplus one, and after updating and restarting it stays in the startup animation for minutes to finally restart again in the recovery, I have magisk installed, could it be a magisk problem? do i have to remove it before? (I seem to remember that the last time I updated it a long time ago, there was no need to do this)

Anyone ever happened something similar?

[Magisk] seemebreakthis:
Have been using the same version of canary build for several months now, it was a relatively stable one and I decided not to do any update if nothing is broken.

Until earlier today when I upgraded my entire phone to a new OS. Ended up doing a clean installation of the entire environment, and I flashed the latest canary version (20419 and Magisk Manager 291). Seems ok except "Hide Magisk Manager" isn't working.

When I tried enabling the feature, it sometimes pops up a message after a few seconds, saying "Hide Magisk Manager Failed", and sometimes it simply does nothing. I made sure the Magisk Manager app gets the permissions it asked for (storage and that's about it) but still no go.

WEnt back to the latest stable version (20.4 + 7.5.1). Hide Magisk Manager works fine on this version. But now I can no longer use a number of banking apps + games because only the canary build can fool these apps.

Any pointers appreciated ! THank you so much...
[Magisk] zzz2002:
Turn off play protect in the Google play store while doing the hide. You can turn it on again when you have finished.

[Magisk] drezz2:
I am trying to take screenshots of my magisk configuration and when I do it, it indicates that it cannot be saved because I do not have enough space (I have more than 40 gigabytes free)

if I make a screenshot in any other application if it saves it, is it a magisk restriction?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
[MENTION=9217960]seemebreakthis[/MENTION] Issues with hiding the Manager is a known problem with Manager build 291 (and possibly a couple of builds earlier). You can fix it by hiding the Manager on an earlier build (grabbing the apk from the 20419 zip might work, but it's possible you need to dig through Github history for an earlier apk).
[Magisk] ipdev:
Guessing it is on the device/rom side.

or Something is borked with your Magisk/Manager.

I just double checked on a few devices and had no problem saving screenshots while in the manager app.

Cheers. :cowboy:

To be fair, this thread is for Magisk manager and installation of Magisk. There is a separate thread for discussion on modules.

Seems like more and more apps are winning the cat and mouse game...

I have a couple of banking apps that no longer wants to run. First is "SC Mobile" (they have a bunch of apps and I am using the one for Hong Kong), and the other is "UBS Access". There are more that still let me use them but they started showing up warnings saying root is detected, which is important because that means they can close the door and it is entirely up to them now.

Magisk hide already active for these apps, Magisk Manager already hidden, and safety net check is passing.

Using the current Canary build.

It seems I am going thru the experience of Apple closing it's doors on jailbreaking all over again. And this was the main reason why I moved to Android, as I want to retain the same level of control I have over my phone...
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Not my idea, no... I'm just a collector and sharer of information:

https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk

Great to hear you got things working, on my end (and for a bunch of other users) Manager 291 can't be hidden no matter what the state of Play Protect. :D

What's the process to install a monthly security update on a pixel device and keep root? Can anyone point me to a there's that covers this?
[Magisk] drezz2:
yes i really don't understand

I am also trying to update lineage, and it is giving me many problems, I do not know if something went wrong with magisk, but after updating it never ends up starting
[Magisk] zgfg:
Did you check on the Pixel device(s) forums (on XDA), Q&A or Guides sections

Check if Storage permission and Install from unknown sources is allowed for MM.

Btw, hiding MM also fails to me but downloading/installing modules works fine.

Try also just to take Download a module, and then take Install from storage.

After all, you can also download a module by hand and then do Install from storage

Hello, I'm trying to patch the ramdisk.img but I get error:

Unsupported ted/unknown image format

Device is a Huawei Mediapad T5 which I think I have unlocked the bootloader.

I downloaded the Huawei MediaPad T5 (AGS2-W09) official firmware.

Extracted with 7zip the file ramdisk.img from inside the files.

Copìed it to my T5.

¿I am doing something wrong? Using Magisk Manager 7.5.1 (267)

Thank you.
[Magisk] zgfg:
Are you on EMUI 9.x or higher?

For them you have to patch recovery (recovery-ramdisk) img with all three options (Verity, Encryption and Ramdisk), and then flash it to recovery (recovery-ramdisk) partition.

You will need to boot to Recovery (Vol+ & Pow) to boot to Magisk, 'normal' boot wil boot omitting Magisk

If not on Mediapad but you can find instructions on XDA forums for various other Huawei phones with EMUI 9

You may loose Call log or Contacts (I don't recall) but again, you will find instructions how to fix it easily, just search on XDA about rooting EMUi 9.x (probably the same for 10)
[Magisk] Kgonla:
I'm with emui 8.0

I used too the Huawei Update Extractor but I get:

ERECOVERY_VBMET.IMG: Invalid header CRC
[Magisk] zgfg:
I'm not on Huawei phones for long. But I think that CRC error was known for EMUI 8, one just needed to exclude that check in the Extractor settings.

But yes, for EMUI 8 it should be Ramdisk img to patch and flash (Verity and Encryption On, Recovery Off). Double check your download and if you extracted img for the right partition, size should be 16 MB (I think)
[Magisk] Kgonla:
Nice! I unchecked the CRC checks & get a working extracted RAMDISK.img

Now I go to next step, fingers crossed :)

Thank you very much.
[Magisk] guest4711:
All permissions are set. Installing a module from storage is no problem, it just does not download them (but it can download Magisk....Zip). And it does not depend on AdAway nor AfWall settings - problem persists on some devices even with standard host file and no firewall. And it is independent on my router: On some devices it works without problems. And on these devices where it does not work it does not work using other Wlans too.

Flash the OTA

Then fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img per https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel3xl.html

Flash magksk

[Magisk] oppala07:
hi fellas

I'm trying to give life to my Samsung A6 SM-T280 with root and app2sd.

I've rooted with Odin, TWRP and Magisk 20.4.

The trouble is that after formating SD Cart to ext4 as second partition, using app2sd, after rebooting, the apps dont show up.

It asks me to soft reboot. I do and all the apps come back to main screen as a mess..

As I saw on reddit, some users solve it by changing the path of su.d on app2sd.

I tried entering the "/data/adb/post-fs-data.d" and "/magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d" and nothing. Same error after rebooting.

Can some Magisk + app2sd user help me to solve it out?

I just need to know the exact path for

/postfsdata.d and /service.d

on Magisk 20.4.

Its very important, so I can keep my tablet running smooth.

[MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION]
[Magisk] martyfender:
Your questions are better asked on this thread dedicated to Apps2SD:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/apps2sd-partition-sd-card-link-apps-to-t3122919

Here is the custom path I have in Apps2SD settings on My Onn 8, Android 9 tablet:

/data/adb/post-fs-data.d

The other option can also work. The mount script is run at different stages in the boot, depending on which path is chosen.

/data/adb/service.d
[Magisk] oppala07:
not the first, not the second. maybe you are not using Magisk 20.4?

Or am I doing something wrong with app2sd? I dont think so...
[Magisk] martyfender:
Did you recreate the mount script in Apps2SD, after enabling this option? And no, I have been using the latest Canary builds on this device for months as they are released.
[Magisk] oppala07:
wich option do you mean?

yes, i've recreated the script... for both folders, nothing happened...
[Magisk] pndwal:
Perhaps OT, but are you using stock kk, or later custom ROM? PW
[Magisk] oppala07:
Stock rom rooted Magisk 20.4.
[Magisk] pndwal:
Guessing that's Kit Kat, in which case you need Apps2SD.

But seems there may be later Android version custom ROMs for Samsung A6.

I ditched Apps2SD for my old (Huawei) Snapdragon 410 device when it got MM, then N, in favor of native Adopted Storage. This works well in MM, but with some niggles with app location handling, and beautifully in N. (I use Force Apps on SD option in Developer settings, and remember to move apps requiring root, using wigets etc, back to internal. - They stay where put after updating too.)

So custom ROM w/ adopted storage may be the way to go if possible for you (and anyone with low memory / old devices like Snapdragon 410 soc). I certainly found it effortless in comparison to Apps2SD... (Sorry for OT folks!) PW
[Magisk] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, that's helpful.

Can I get an answer from someone who knows what they're talking about?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I guess what he's saying is that you might find some info and tips here:

https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps
[Magisk] zgfg:
I know very well and that's what I'm telling you - Apps detect root by various means, you had to look first into the documentation with collected instructions and try things one by one

E.g., on the Magisk Manager you have a link to Github (did you try?).

Scroll down and find Magisk Troubleshooting WiKi.

Open, there you will see a topic Hiding root from apps - if too hard to find, here is a direct link:

https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide

Please read the whole chapter till the end: Nothing works, and try every trick and you will learn that there is no simple answer. Maybe you find a way to hide 'root' for the particular app, maybe not - if not, you will see how to proceed (collecting logs, etc) when going to ask

Btw, these are the questions and answerd repeated every second day. I don't understand is it really too hard to spend some time to read through e.g. five or six previous pages
[Magisk] H4X0R46:
For some reason, magisk never passes CTS with any ROM I try it on, even after checking the box for "magisk hide". Is there something else I need to do to make it pass safety net?

EDIT: No I don't use xposed or anything like that that would obviously cause it to fail.
[Magisk] zgfg:
There were literally hundred of posts here about CTS failing due to Hardware attest, during the lasrt two months or so

Anyway, install latest (!) Magisk Hide Props Config, use Terminal app where you type: props (MHPS has its guide and XDA thread if more instructions are needed), take the option to force Basic CTS attest...
[Magisk] GuyInDogSuit:
Thanks, but nothing I've tried on there has worked. The reason I replied so snarkily to the original answer was because he simply assumed I hadn't read that already. I have, in fact, read the whole page, and tried all the various suggestions (disabling ADB debugging, disabling developer options, checked dependencies, hiding Magisk Manager, etc). Oddly, when I tried to "hide" Magisk Manager itself (by using the option to change the app and package names and reinstall as such), it does nothing for a while, then says it failed. *shrug* I'm looking into different "isolation" applications (Shelter looks promising), as my OnePlus 7T doesn't seem to have such a feature built-in other than multiple user accounts, which I don't believe is the same thing.

One of these apps in question is the game "Epic Seven" by Smilegate. Another that comes to mind is the Jack in the Box app. Yeah, that's a weird one, I know (though it works fine on my tablet).

For now, I'm going to just install such problem apps on my non-rooted tablet (and hope they run without issues). So far Epic Seven is downloading the initial patch.

I'll keep Epic Seven on my phone for now and keep trying different things, but for now, the tablet will have to do, and the best I can hope for is that someone can look at my logcat (attached) and figure out the issue here. I'll update if I find a solution. Thanks in advance, and I really appreciate the work you do!
[Magisk] H4X0R46:
Oof! I didn't read much here first. It's 5am and I should be asleep lol thank you for answering me still! I've used magisk props module before and it works well! Just wondered if there was an easier way, guess not right now. But thanks for the answer!

You didn't specify which MM version but it was also re-answered few days ago that unfortunately Hide Magisk Manager does not work on some phones for MM Canary v291.
