Just to be sure we're on the same level... You tried the steps described down below? First post instructions didn't work for me when i had the same issue as you have.

I have attached the needed files as described below.

Hope that i can be helpful to you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Duvel999:
Sorry, my mistake. Could flash that, But don't use Magisk

Or can I place that file manually in a specific Root folder?

Also flashed the .zip from Edzamber. Doesn't work for me.

I'm using a theme called Linear (by DeadmanXD). Latest update has added support for YouTube Vanced. Nice. Looks good. I hope other themes follow suit.

Hey guys, I need some help installing this. I did a casual attempt and semi bricked so let's not do that again.

- should I use "Official TWRP App"?

- When instructions state "Installer", does it refer to the .rar file? Or a folder containing .rar, and the other 2 extra files? Where is it supposed to go?

- is the .apk supposed to go in the same folder the "installer" .rar goes?

- what are the steps to flashing using TWRP? Really like every tap step by step so I can't possibly fudge it up.

I need a good Samaritan to really break this down because clearly the OP isn't enough for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ali_bobo:
Thats what I am using so good news.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dark'em:
Thank you, it works! No more update notification, youtube is still there, but only if you search for it
[Android Apps and Games] thedr34m13:
1. No, you need TWRP.

2. Download the installer and the apk from here. The installer file is a .zip file.

3. The apk goes in the downloads folder of your phone, the installer can be anywhere.

4. In TWRP, tap install, go to the folder with the installer zip, then select the install it.

Alternatively, if you're rooted with magisk, you can just download and install the YouTube Vanced module from Magisk Manager.

For those whom experience no chromecast button thus unable to chromecast (not screen mirroring) here's how I solve my issue using TV code. Rooted not required.

1. Launch the YouTube app on your TV device/ or set top box

2. Go to Settings .

3. Go to the Link TV and Phone screen.

4. Scroll down to Link with TV code. A blue TV code will appear on your TV.

5. Now grab your phone, tablet, or computer.

6. Open Youtube Vanced

7. Go to Settings, Watch on TV, look for Link with TV code

8. Enter TV code

9. Enjoy

My chromecast button does show up during screen mirroring, which isn't something I'd like to achieve. With this workaround , we can now safe some power due to screen off during casting . The possible disadvantage, according to some of our friends here is ads might randomly show up.

Note : the solution isn't permanent so kindly update me if there's any
[Android Apps and Games] Marvino.:
Worked just perfect! Thanks you're the magico! :)
[Android Apps and Games] NetVlad2009:
What is TWRP then? "TWRP Manager"?

Is it something outside of the App store?

(Thanks btw)
[Android Apps and Games] thedr34m13:
It's a custom recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Is your phone rooted? Twrp is a custom recovery. Twrp manager is just an app that can work with twrp recovery, but is not needed. If you don't have twrp recovery installed, and also do not have magisk, then you can't use the installer zip.

It might just be easier for you to use the non root version.
[Android Apps and Games] NetVlad2009:
I'm rooted. Just trying to find where to download TWRP. I was looking in the Play Store and found "Official TWRP App" I thought that was it... so do I need to use that to install a custom recovery.... and then use the custom recovery to install the .zip?

Also to clarify... the installer does not open as a .zip in their Google drive, it shows several of those command files and a .rar ...

I'm supposed to make a zip out of the .rar and command files I need?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
A few misunderstandings. What device do you have?

And there are no .rar files, no files to create (see screenshot). There are .plz files, a settings.sh, and an installer zip. Do not open the .zip. leave it zipped.

I ask what device you have because rooting a device usually involves installing a custom recovery like twrp. There may not be one for your device, and it is device specific. This is becoming very off topic. This is not a "how to root" or "how to install custom recovery" thread.

You need to search in your device's forum for that information.

But if you do ever get a recovery installed, you only need the right root Vanced APK for your device, and the installer zip (bottom of screenshot). Both in download folder on internal storage. Boot to recovery, tap install, select the zip. That's it. 2 files. It finds the APK and installs it. Easy peasy.

But none of that matters if you don't have custom recovery.

Just use non root version and microG. Same result.

Or use the root APK, and place it in system/app with a root file explorer, and set it's permissions.

If any of that is beyond your understanding, just use non root version. Then do some reading. You're going too fast for your own good.

You're over complicating it.
[Android Apps and Games] Josey Wales:
A word of advice. . . find your device's forum and cell carrier to be on the safe side. Inside most forums are help related as well as general discussions which cover rooting, installing recoveries, ROMs etc. . . knowing the basics of modding your device, the Do's and Do not's will save you a world of hurt as flashing the wrong stuff can and will render your device useless. . .
[Android Apps and Games] NetVlad2009:
Samsung Galaxy S8+

Running PartCyborg rooted ROM

Did not come with a custom recovery.

I think my WinRar program changed any file it works with to" RAR FILE" so I couldn't see .zip

I'm familiar with how to work a root file explorer... but not sure what you meant by permissions (grant superuser permission in supersu?)

- Non-root install method worked! Woooooo!

I appreciate everyone's support and information. Thank you very much.

I'll keep digging around the website... I'm a lot worse at this stuff than I though lol.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I figured that would be easier.

Don't forget microG so you can log in.

By permissions, I meant the permissions on the file, folder, and APK. Each folder and file has a set of permissions. When you place files manually, you have to make sure it's permissions match the other files in that category.

But the non root version is the same, so enjoy.

I just got the update in the repo, took a little bit but just wanted to see if there was anything else I could do. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] prathu30:
I flashed it through recovery and the auto update crashed unistalled the magisk module but still its broken. Tried clearing data but no use. :( help
[Android Apps and Games] ibigfire:
Really? I must be doing something wrong. I installed via the Magisk Module and it seems like the official Youtube app is constantly trying to overwrite it, which make it definitely not flash and forget, and actual updates to Vanced require re-flashing. All which require me to boot into TWRP to do since I can't flash it via the Magisk Manager. I'm also not automatically updated or even notified of updates to Youtube Vanced using this method.

Don't get me wrong, Youtube Vanced is great and I'm determined to make it work at least somewhat fluidly for me somehow, but the Magisk Module does not at all seem to be flash and forget unless I'm missing some key piece of information here currently. Which is entirely possible.

Some of these issues are may solved by doing the "enable_detach" method mentioned in the module when I tap it in the Magisk Manager but it recommends I don't use that method nor am I even sure where my "/cached" directory is anyway... Still trying to figure out where that directory is and if I should give it a try despite the warnings though.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
If you want to detach just use this zip in twrp created by one of the guys here on the thread https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757/post76577648
[Android Apps and Games] ibigfire:
I was trying to stick with the official Youtube Vanced way of doing things that it talks about in the module description itself, just to make sure I didn't screw something up... Is this way better?
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
Its just more convenient. Flash the module then flash this and it will be gone from play store auto updates. Just open play store after reboot and force close it and reopen and it will be gone

[Android Apps and Games] Duvel999:
Thx. flashed the .zip from Edzamber. Doesn't work for me.

I'm I the only one?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Did you open the playstore, then force close it?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's meant to install in magisk. But twrp works too.

Turn off auto updates for YT in the playstore.

Your cache directory is in the root of your phone. Use a good root file explorer,open it. Not in your storage, in the root of your phone. Folders should be in alphabetical order. The same place you find /system, and /magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] Duvel999:
Yes. How are your steps to do above?

I open Playstore app, open Settings, Apps, Google Playstore and force close button?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Yep. That should do it, well according to the guy that made it. I just use the regular detach with the .plz files.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
I just have these files, install in magisk manager. Poof, detached.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Why can't you flash via Magisk Manager? I do. And turning off auto updates works fine. If for some reason you get an update (like you accidently click Update All), just Disable and re-enable or open the playstore page and click the button to uninstall updates. One button to undo it!

Can someone help me to make Youtube the default app?

I don´t want to view the videos in browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Razerman:
Happens with the original youtube as well.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Use a different browser. Or, instead of just clicking the video, long press it. Then copy the link and open in YT. Some videos are embedded in the webpage and are always going to play there. Those ones, You have to open in YT yourself by copying the link.

If it's a matter of defaults, you have to change the in your device's settings/apps/.

Instructions for how to use your device's default app settings is a bit off topic here and just clutters the thread.

Have I understood correctly that there is no way to get history working with branded YouTube channel? I have two channels on my Google account (main and one branded) and I usually use that branded one and actually I even made it my default channel. But when I use this Vanced YT it doesn't record history with branded channel, but it does it with my old main channel just perfect.

Only solution to get history work is merge these Channels or am I correct? But I don't want do this. I want to keep both of them because I use these in different cases and the YouTube it self record own history data both of them, but now Vanced doesn do it :(
[Android Apps and Games] KevinX8:
The issue is microg, the only solution to your problem is using the root version

I have a brand new Google Pixel 2 Android Oreo 8.1.0, rooted with Magisk v16.4 and Magisk Manager 5.7.0 and installed the YouTube Vanced v13.18.54 module via the manager and rebooted. The module shows up installed with a checkbox.

But I don't see the way to launch the application anywhere, it's not in my launcher and using the normal YouTube app I still have ads so it's not it.

The first post have a FAQ for this : " Q. Installation successful but YouTube is not showing up in launcher, why ? A. You did not use the latest magisk version or installer. This only applied for Oreo."... huuh yes I just did install everything latest version today.

Any other reason why I don't see it?
[Android Apps and Games] rickysidhu_:
You have to uninstall/disable the original YouTube app first
[Android Apps and Games] Dunge2:
Thanks. I disabled the official app (said no when asked to restore factory version), then uninstalled Vance module, rebooted, reinstalled Vance module, rebooted but unfortunately the icon still isn't there!

I didn't see any error in the installation log or the magisk logs.

Also, sorry but shouldn't disabling the official app be mentioned at least somewhere in the module description?
[Android Apps and Games] kevintm78:
If I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't disable the YouTube app. Only uninstall the updates. The magisk module will overwrite the original system app so if you have it disabled then you are disabling the vanced version as well since they have the same package name. Try re-enabling and that should get it to show in your app drawer.

I've always just completely uninstalled the original so I'm just going by what I've read from others.

[Android Apps and Games] Dashaquavius:
What's the difference between the root, Magisk and non-root versions? Is there any difference?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
root version completely replaces the existing YouTube app.

magisk version overrides the existing YouTube app without touching the original apk.

non-root installs as a separate app, and can be used alongside the original app.

they all have the same features, the only real differences is in how they interact with other apps(magisk stops working if you update through the play store and mods can't find the non-root version for example)
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
They have the same features. Some ppl have trouble getting yt links to open in Vanced by default from the browser with non root. But that's it. Usually easy to solve. All the same goodies in all three.

Are you using an adblocker? Like the magisk unified hosts adblock? And of course you already whitelisted 0.0.0.0 s.youtube.com ?

Indeed I am using an adblocker (adaway rom integrated) with systemless unified hosts. And I didn't whitelist anything at all.
[Android Apps and Games] TahirZX:
I added these to whitelist.

Is this correct?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
You are using adaway. You should only need the s.youtube.com. (maybe also s2.youtube.com)

The 0.0.0.0 s.youtube.com (all one entry) is only for the unified host adblock magisk module where you have to create a whitelist file manually.

You should be ok now though.

It's in the FAQ in post 2.
