[Magisk] m.mishka:
Hi all

Could someone who knows a bit more than I do (WiFi is not hard :laugh:) please tell me if it is the right solution for my problem with Magisk, before flash things I shouldn't and break everything on my phone?

I'm have a Moto G5S Plus (Sanders, xt1805).

Magisk 15.3 and Magisk Manager 5.5.5

My kernel is Aleze, ROM is Pixel Experience 64 bit, TWRP is from here https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-r7-t3694910

After much headache, this setup works, data partition decrypted, all poses SafetyNet. The only problem is Magisk: I can't install any modules.

Every module fails in installation. Flashing a module zip in recovery goes through, but the module doesn't show in Magisk or Apps.

Magisk boot log (as you can see, some error 13, some permissions denied ... I've no idea what this means):

Here's a log of a failed installation:

My concern is being on Oreo and also x64, and I can't see anyone having commented whether this is suitable for Oreo x64.

If yes, I understand all I have to do is to flash the latest zip of this mod in recovery, and I don't need to reinstall Magisk before doing it, right?

Thanks for making this mod and for any help with my questions.
