Magisk General Support / Discussion

This is the place for general support and discussion regarding "Public Releases", which includes both stable and beta releases.
All information, including troubleshoot guides and notes, are in the Announcement Thread

Oh wowww. Thanks!!
Error in the thread title: 2015.8.4

Yay it's finally here!
I'm already using it and I must say it works fine

Man, this "universal MultiROM support" left me full of hope. I hope it works out. And it was time for a mods manager on Android, thanks topjohnwu

Working great on my N6!
topjohnwu has my vote for President!
(and a well deserved donation)

AMAZING!, now to be sure, if i have a rom and want to integrate Magisk, the correct order of flashing is:
1-rom
2-magisk
3-modded su (magisk compatible)
it's that the way?

topjohnwu said:
....Magisk Is A Magic Mask to Alter System Systemless-ly.
If you are running custom roms, dirty flash the rom again to remove all possible issues. If the rom includes SuperSU, unzip the boot image from the rom zip, and flash it through TWRP, flashify, fastboot etc. to restore to stock ramdisk......
....... you can now download Magisk and flash to your device.
To remove Magisk, restore your boot image back (Magisk will backup your boot image automatically in /data/stock_boot(md5).img.gz), then delete /data/magisk.img.

is the following still applicable in the case of custom roms?
smohanv said:
1. Boot in to TWRP
2. go to Advanced / File Manager and delete folder named supersu
3. go to Advanced / Terminal and enter these two commandsecho SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu​The first one forces systemless, the second prevents /su/xbin_bind from existing.​4. Flashed Beta SuperSu 2.74-2 (we can notice while flashing this zip after the above script, we will not see the line saying "Disabling OTA". Also, end of flashing it warns that it takes longer time to boot.
5. Reboot device and enjoy systemless
6. To check if we have achieved systemless root, go to system/xbin folder and we should not see the file named "su".
7. I rebooted in to TWRP and flashed xposed 85.1 (also updated with 85.2 later) and installed the apk (Material design apk from this thread)
8. All done and my xposed works.....

Stuck at boot screen on the S7 Exynos variant, is this just for stock Android or did i do something wrong? I flashed the Magisk v1 then the phh root zip now im stuck at the boot screen ?

So wait, before i get excited this means things like viper4android can be installed without messing with system?

Sure you probably did something wrong.
For starters you gave way to little information.
Did you follow the procedure from the OP exactly ?
What rom do you have, custom recovery if any, custom kernel if any ?
How did you flash ?
Come on people give this information by yourself please, don't let us pull it out of you everytime.
You know you are the one needing help than please try to give detailed information about your problem.

Did you flash phh's root zip from this thread's Downloads section or from original phh's thread? If the latter, then that's probably the culprit.

Thanks for trying bro.....

@topjohnwu this new "magisk" method. It doesn't allow Android Pay to work on custom roms like CyanogenMod does it? If I remove SU from CyanogenMod and use your root.

Magisk on (Yu Yureka) ARM64 device
i did a full clean wipe and then flashed rom, magisk and 'Magisk Compatible phh's SuperUser' - in that order. magisk manager app does not open.

Holy crap.. everything universal with support for extensions. This platform could be the beginning of a new era in mods. @topjohnwu amazing work. Don't want to be rude, but personally I think the name of the project is not as awesome as the project itself. "Magisk" sounds a bit cheesy.. :silly:

great work, will try it out soon! one little thing i noticed in the thread title...i guess it should be 2016

Data security and phone encryption. Miui custom rom

My new MI8 SE is not my daily use, so I got time to check all available MIUI custom rom (eu,Globe,MiRum,Miuipro,Ros,MS and Masik 1.8.)
At this point no problem, they install very well and they answer my needs.
BUT:
AS EVERYBODY should know that it is very easy to delete the central Password and finger print by the mean of our sophisticated tool (I mean TWRP).
In order to be safe '(without turning back to stock rom) I tried to encrypt the phone WITHOUT success...
Process failed every time with different results (full reset, logo loop for hours, partial encrypt for data only). But was always the point that minimum security can't be reached!
Question:
-Can you well sleep If you mind that you are having all your precious data available in the wind as soon your phone is lost or stolen or even worst let in some bad friends hands...? It takes 1 mn to delete the file without any computer.
I see a partial solution by installing afterward a stock recovery that does allow to trick the system file.
(If somebody has it, I am available to test this option, but don't tell me to flash a stock rom as solution!!)
Your comments/solutions are welcome.

You can have encryption with custom ROM, if the corresponding kernel enabled built-in force encryption.
I'm currently running phh treble 9.0 encrypted, with stock kernel patched by this script:

Thanks for taking care of my post.
This is old now.
I've investigated a bit more and found ways to get MIUI custom ROM encrypted. (for now I want to stay with MIUI stuff!)
I know that almost all AOSP like rom may well encrypt from first install.
My aim was and is still to warn people that without encrypt their phone are open like a lost book.
Thanks for the very interesting and documented thread (link) you directed me to.

If you don't mind could you post a detailed guide to flash our Mi 8 Se. I tried once and got mine hard bricked and i'm scared to try again.
Our forum lacks detailed instruction and it's all hit and trial. And since you have had your hands dirty, could you do that?

Just take care to flash latest 1227 version after EU rom older than 8.12.20 date.
In my view it's a mistake to backup anything with TWRP because as of today nothing is stable. Better to stay with MIUI backup and computer duplication.

That's OK!
you flash 9.2.15 with TWRP 1102 or 1217.
YOU DON't REBOOT THE ROM.
you flash twrp 1227 and THEN you reboot the rom and wait install finish, take some time be partient.
simple!

Finally i got it working following your instructions on the MIUI EU forum. Thanks a bunch. :victory: :highfive:
To others for reference. Following are the procedures that i followed to boot up Miui Eu :silly:
- Flash official 8.12.13 (Dev Fastboot Rom) through MiFlash.
- Flash TWRP 1102
- Clean Data
- Push/ Copy and Flash 8.12.20( EU Rom), it booted up finally without redirecting to Fastboot.
- Update 8.12.20 to latest available from system updater.
- Now there won't be any recovery or we aren't able to enter into available recovery even though the system boots.
- Flash TWRP 1227.

My Three Questions ! please help.

I flashed mi 9t pro rom on my k20 pro. now if i install TWRP and ROOT(Magisk) will I get the OTA?
If yes,
If I flash/install DOLBY or Viper4android or change the Display Refresh rate or any type of System application/modification through TWRP or Magisk , will it stop getting OTA?
and if I get OTA, will those applications or modifications be removed after installing the OTA update?
Thanks

As you already know how to flash things, why would you bother with ota updates?
Ota updates with modified rom is always a surprise. But, definitely you gonna lose some changes if it applies fine...

Thanks for the reply.
I just know how to flash what . but I don't have that much knowledge how things are work. So I am confused all the time. However, I'm not using any modified rom. the rom I've mentioned above is stock fastboot rom. So it would be helpful if anyone gives me the answer.

You won't lose OTA, but OTA will break some things that you've done.
You will need to turn off OTA. Whenever there's an update you want you will need to download the recovery ROM for that version and install it manually in TWRP. You should be OK just wiping cache and dalvik. After installing you will need to immediately install Magisk again in TWRP.
I'm not sure about any mods as I've not used any you mention. I suppose it depends on where they get installed to and if a recovery ROM touches those areas.

Cannot install Magisk

Hello,
I have a One Plus 5 with a Custom AOSP Rom 11.0 and TWRP 3.4.0.1 and I'm trying to install Magisk like it's explained here.
But whatever I try - it does not work.
When I flash it via TWRP it says everything went well, but in the end my Magisk Manager does not have the "green ticks" and my apps say I have no root access.
I also tried this with my current ROM but there is an error. I'll attach all logs and files in case it's helpful.
Thank you very much.
Edit:
I was now able to create a flashed boot.img file, but when I flash that it always boots into the bootloader and cannot boot my phone anymore normally anymore.

Quite simple... Magisk v20.4 isn't compatible with Android 11. Currently you need to switch to the beta update channel if you want root on A11.

Hi
Rooting the sweetin is pretty straight forward like most Mi phones. I am sure you can google it and iron it out.
But just FYI, below are the steps -
Link Mi Account for unlocking in Developer options.
Unlock Bootloader using Mi Unlock Tool (lengthy, considering 15 days waiting period)
Flash latest TWRP
Install Magisk via TWRP.
Please let me know if you need further details

depends on the rom, i believe
can be as simple as download update and flash(it goes through TWRP) or, you might have to download full ROM package, flash that, and then again flash magisk or even TWRP(esp if it gets replaced) sometimes
it varies

Do tell me what your procedure is gonna be when the next OTA comes out since you're on TWRP.

unfortunately, always, I move out of MIUI to AOSP based minimalistic ROMs(I like that way)
I might not be of help to you.
But, earlier, it was like this-
once bootloader unlocked, we won't get incremental MIUI updates
so, got to download full ROM, update
and after update, every time recovery will be replaced
so need to re flash TWRP, re flash Magisk
(i don't think anything much changed, still not very sure)

I see, I appreciate your input regardless.
Is it usually a dirty flash? or does it wipe out everything as in factory reset after installing the update?

Also, what custom rom have you been using?
Is it stable? Are all the cameras fully functional while using the aosp based rom?
I haven't unfortunately found a stable gcam that fully works with the note 10 pro yet, therefore I am being hesitant to switch to custom ROMs for now, otherwise, I would've flashed an AOSP rom in a heartbeat, I hate MIUI.
