CM-su still being detected by Magisk, Magisk Hide not working

Hi,
I'm currently so confused as to why my Magisk isn't working. I'm currently running the last CM 13 snapshot for the Galaxy S5 (G900F, klte), and root and Xposed work fine via Magisk.
However, what isn't working is Magisk Hide, and I'm not sure why. However, I'm noticing that even though I fully unrooted cm-su (using SuperSU, in a way that means the only root I can select in Dev Options is ADB only), I'm still getting cm-su detected by Magisk.
I'm confused -- is there anyway I can remove it? I've tried looking through TWRP file manager, but whenever I do so, I can't even see /system/ files, and mounting only mounts to USB, but that's unrelated.
Thanks for any help!

I don't think SuperSU removes the in-built CM superuser. Use the UNSU zip by osmosis instead. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421
Also magisk hide will NOT hide Xposed. Yes not even systemless 87.1 Xposed.

SuperSU removed its own root only, CM root is unaffected.
Also, Magisk hide only works with Magisk's own phh root.
And, as far as I know, it can't successfully hide Xposed either. Doesn't matter if it is systemless or not.

Cheers for the replies.
I wasn't aware that Magisk Hide didn't hide Xposed, that's my bad.
As for the presence of CM-SU, SuperSU did do something, as the Developer Options root option is now ADB only while previously it offered the option to Apps too. I'll try unsu.
Here's what I'm meaning btw: imgur.com /a /yTOTw (sorry for the link bypass, there's no other way for me to simply demonstrate the issue) (as you can see in the first screenshot, Magisk detects "cm-su" along with phh. When phh was disabled before I removed cm-su, it only detected cm-su, hence leading me to believe cm-su remains).
e: tried unsu, still cm-su remains. At this point, I'll leave it -- I presume that it's permanently ingrained into the ROM. I've gotten around the restriction I was facing anyway, and I'll adjust. Thanks anyway!

If there are SU files in /system/bin and /system/xbin, then CM root was not removed. Not completely.
To actually remove it you have to delete those files.

@intcompetent Osmosis's unsu zip removes those files. If those files are still there after flashing the unsu zip, I'd ask in his thread.

Or just remove them manually, jeez. It's just two files.
I've been doing it manually for months and everything works as intended.

As an a closer, there's nothing there. I presume that Magisk is picking up something freaky from somewhere, or something's up, but I'm good guys. I won't need anymore help.
Cheers!

I found this zip around somewhere. I believe it works to remove all root (systemless as well) and I've always flashed it before rooting normally. It should also remove CM root afaik.
As a test, after flashing, check and see if you pass safetynet before installing magisk

Magisk mounting RO?

I am having an issue where Magisk seems to be mounting itself as read only, this prevents installing modules via Magisk Manager, but also prevents the use of modules such as Terminal Emulator App Debloater/Systemizer. I've attached screenshots of the issue and device/ROM info.
Also, here is my mounts file

This was reported also by users of Moto Z Play Nougat where the f2fs issue was fixed (since patch March 2017). Seems the fix somehow makes mount points created from /data which is stored on f2fs readonly.
Which format does your data partition use? Can you attach a catlog logfile of the initialization of Magisk?

Was this ever resolved?
I have a Samsung Tab A, rooted, with Magisk, and I can't edit a system file because file system is RO. And, I can't figure out how to make it RW; the normal advice doesn't work because of mods that Magisk makes to the file system.
If I uninstall Magisk my device will no longer be rooted, correct? (Yeah, I am new at this.)

Go to "/sbin/.magisk/mirror/system_root/" (or maybe "/sbin/.magisk/mirror/system/"), it's RW here.
INFO: If you use a file manager app and you don't see the ".magisk" folder, you need to enable "Show hidden files" option (in "Folder options").

Using Link2SD on the R1HD?

Has anyone got Link2SD to work on the R1 HD? It always seems to give the error: mount script cannot be created "mount:No such file or directory" when trying to create mount script. Any ideas what going on.?

yes. the android toybox/ toolbox used by blu has been altered and the mount function is not working properly. Same issue some have had with adaway, and other mods. The solution should be to install busybox and fully symlink it to /sbin.
I have not done it but based on your reported error it should be the correct solution.

Ok so what should be symlink then I thought busybox install took care of the symlinking. What's the command too? Also I'm trying to use Link2SD instead of the lovely Android m adoptive sdcard stuff basically keep sd as portable while using Link2SD so I can have my PC see the fat32 partition if i needed.

the symlinking is done from in the bustbox installer.
so, you still have problem with busybox installed?
not so sure what to try next. Ah, check in the list of installed links for busybox and see if "mount" is shown as installed.
you can try to install the "toybox" from V12. It is untested method and you would need to know how to undo if needed.
link to the twrp install of that file is in my earlier post.

Got it to work had to tell BusyBox installer to overwrite and symlink it apparently it's unchecked by default as its "not recommended to replace the systems version" :silly: go figure maybe under normal circumstances with a correctly functioning mount its bad but it fixed it stericson BusyBox installer did others weren't tested but I assume same result. But thanks for your help greatly appreciated it.

Just a note to anyone who comes across this thread if you use Titanium Backup at all don't use "BusyBox X" it seems to break T.B.'s ability to detect root this might be just magisk... or both SuperSU and magisk. but i had this happen with other devices some on SuperSU Some magisk but un-install "BusyBox X" (install any other busybox) and problem goes away not sure what direct cause is in "BusyBox X" might be because X is 1.26.1 and others are 1.27.1 ( ATM ) seems its always one version behind.

yes but because of the way we have to initially unlock/root the r1 it doesn't pass safety net with magisk unless android is not passing safety net again with magisk. but like i mentioned some things can break root "busy box X" with certain apps. also xposed framework systemless and normal seem to work well.

Viper4Android for Mate 10 Pro

Anyone had any luck getting viper4android to work with Mate 10 Pro
I tried several methods but the driver does not install
Thanks

waiting for it

Tried several things like flashing Viper4android with pre-installed drivers, which did not work as the app tells me to install the drivers again but fails at busybox not found.

What recovery did you try flashing with?

I used the app FlashFire from Chainfire. You can find it on Play Store. Make sure when you flash something with that app, select mount system R/W

Yes, when you select the zip-file it will automatically show you some Misc-Options, where you can select to mount system read write.

Did you select Mount System R/W? Otherwise it will not work. If its still not working, then I do not know why. For me it worked but viper4android asked my always for installing busybox even though it is installed.

If you haven't removed Verity on system it would remove what was flashed on reboot. You can do this in /vendor/etc/fstab.kirin970
And you should remove verity off of the other partitions as well.
Etoerh way it probably won't work. I manually installed everything yesterday, including driver. This worked fine on Mate 9 Nougat without even installing driver.
And make sure you have busybox. I can't remember if it had busybox or su as a hardcoded path... I have su in /sbin/ and busybox applets symlinked to /sbin/ from su.d. Still no go. :/
I'll try some more later.
And a question, permissive is usually required, can you guys type in a terminal: setenforce 0
Or setenforce permissive?
I get invalid parameter, so Huawei might've tightened security.

With P10plus oreo setenforce do not work in terminal. I try to install viper4android too.

Known issue on some MTK devices. Loop mounting doesn't work.
There are lots of reports like this for Doogee... There's been some investigating into it in the beta thread, but as of yet there's no solution, I believe.

Looks like recovery can't decrypt /data, so that's likely an issue there. But it'd be easier to tell if you had provided the recovery log rather than a screenshot (Advanced - Copy log after trying to flash).
And, it would also be very useful if you had provided a Magisk log rather than only installation logs.
But, it's probably a moot point anyway. Like I said earlier, this is a known issue with loop mounting on Doogee devices (and other devices using Mediatek). No solution as of yet...

There was no need to start a new thread about that... You've already got this one going.
The screenshot of the Manager you provided simply showed a Manager without internet access. Completely normal.
About losing root completely, make sure you don't have any aggressive battery optimisation on the Manager. More here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Randomly_losing_root

Ok, good, I close the other thread
Yes true, that is a normal screenshot of magisk offline. Yesterday I did formatted data to disable encryption and I lost all the other screenshots, but was like this: before all options disappeared, then magisk disappeared.
No, no aggressive battery optimization running, but I have installed greenify and amplify... Perhaps one of this app makes problem?

I wish to close the other thread, but I do not know how to do it.

Make sure the Manager is removed from Battery optimisation and that it isn't selected I'm Greenify. It's not certain that this is the issue, but it's worth ruling out.
Other than that, a logcat of it happening, or even just a screenshot of the Manager when things aren't working. A Magisk log is also useful, of course.

Hello.
Thank you for the answer.
I have tried to flash the zip without success.
No magisk installation found or installed version is not supported.
Error process 1.
The magisk version I have installed is v16. - 5.6.4(112).
The last one, suppose.
Any suggestions, please?
Thank you in advance ?

I made also the this attempt: I have flashed a magisk module using flashify.
The flashing was successful, but the module is not in the magisk list.
Can be a permission problem? Someone knows where is the folder of installed magisk modules, please? Perhaps is a permission problem and changing permissions will work...

Download f2fs-loopback-bug-workaround-2018.1.31.zip from the thread. Place it in Download folder of internal storage. Reboot to recovery. Flash zip in twrp. Reboot. Open magisk manager. F2FS Loopback Bug Workaround should be installed in modules. I hope any module can be installed from now on.

Do you know if there's a fix already? I'm on ext4 so f2fs loopback makes no sense for me
And @MasterSheea do you have a fix?
I've got exactly the same error with flashing modules, after clean flask is possible to install modules but after 1 reboot it fails
