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 (MagiskSU) - Busybox won't install, says "Systemless root is not configured".
I've installed/flashed the latest stable Magisk version: v13.2. (Since version v13.1 I believe the bundled busybox included with Magisk was removed because it caused a lot of issues)
I've tried to install BusyBox to "/su/xbin" but it always throws up the error "Systemless root is not configured".

Tried adding it as a module to Magisk however it reports it's not a magisk module "this zip is not a magisk module".
Flashed it with TWRP and it installed in su/xbin. Thanks :good:

If you want to use it as a Magisk module, maybe you should install it from the Magisk Manager instead of flashing from TWRP.
Besides, I didn't catch your meaning. You mean the busybox app notice? Now that busybox is installed, you don't have to mind that notice.

Why are you guys trying to install to /su? Unless you're still on Magisk v12, you shouldn't be using SuperSU...

What method would that be? No, I'm not gonna go hunting for some random Youtuber...
If the aim is to get a functioning busybox up and running, the easiest way is to just install @osm0sis busybox module from the downloads section in the Manager. No other apps needed...

He installed busybox in system/xbin
He made a folder called "Viper4Android" in the "system/priv-app" folder and copied a Viper4Android APK in there
He set the permissions of said APK to -rw-r--r-- (I set to -rwxrwxrwx for good measure)
He went to "system/vendor/etc" ("system/etc" if it's not there) folder, made a copy of the "audio_effects.conf" file
He renamed the "audio_effects.conf" file in the etc folder to "audio_effects.conf.bak"
He pasted the original "audio_effects.conf" file back in the "etc" folder, so now he has a "audio_effects.conf" and a "audio_effects.conf.bak" file in the "etc" folder
He changed the permissions of the "audio_effects.conf" file to "-rw-r--r--"
He rebooted, opened V4A, installed drivers, then rebooted
Hope this helped.

That busybox module works perfectly for me.
And I'm using Magisk partly because it makes system modifications like V4A systemless. Therefore I would not follow those instructions...
I do have V4A working though, with this Magisk module and by utilising this workaround until the module has been updated. Nice and systemless...
The above mentioned workaround hasn't worked for everyone, but several other ways of getting it to work have been discussed in that thread.

You'll need to provide some details for that... After flashing the module in TWRP, can you save the recovery log (Advanced - Copy log) and attach it to a post here.
And I forgot to say, but for the V4A module I linked, I don't even need busybox installed. YMMV...

Yesterday i used magisk on android 7.1.2 , now updated to 8.1.0 and i get same error.

i got same problem 2 days ago, so here is the fix i found.
go phone settings --> app permission, be sure you let installation permission to magisk from there, otherwise magisk always fails

Ah... Then I understand. That has nothing to do with the Managers ability to install modules only with it's built-in update feature. And there's no need to manually enable it. If an app needs that permission, you'll get a message that it needs to be activated.

Hm... It's not supposed to show a message when installing modules though, only when updating the Manager or otherwise installing an apk manually.
I find it interesting that installing modules wouldn't work unless you enable that option... Could you record a logcat when install a module with the setting off and then when it's on?

No matter how you choose to update, there's always a risk of failure. Only way to minimise any damages is to make sure you have a backup of any important data before updating.
You should be able to do a direct update in the Magisk app (but since you're jumping a few versions it's a very good idea to have that backup ready). Only thing to mind is that the update to v22+ requires you to not have the Magisk app repackaged with a random name, so make sure you've restored that before updating. This should be the easiest way of doing things...
If you're on the Canary channel (since you have a Canary release installed now), keep in mind that the current Canary (23014) has some major changes from previous Magisk versions. The Hide list has been replaced with a Deny list and there's now a new feature: Zygisk (it's very similar to Riru, if you know that that is). If you're not ready for those kind of changes yet, make sure to be on the stable update channel...
If you don't want to do a direct update the linked guide should work.

If that patched file is from an earlier release of Magisk, and you want to use that version, it's probably best to uninstall Magisk and flash that.
If you want a newer release you can either just choose the stable update channel and do a direct update to v22.1 (you'll be able to update to v23 after that), or you can download the v21.4 zip from GitHub and install that zip from the module section of the Magisk app.
You've got many options. Only you can decide what's best for you...

No worries.
To avoid incompatibilities between different Magisk versions you'd have to do a complete uninstall. If you do the direct update you don't have to do anything else then pick "Update" in the Magisk app and then "Direct install".
To say if one or the other is safer is hard to say since there quite a few variables that come into play. Doing an uninstall might cause issues if you've previously disabled encryption, as an example. On the other hand there might also be issues when doing a direct install.
Personally I would go for a direct install, but make sure that I have my firmware's/ROM's unpatched boot image at hand so I can install that and get my device up and running again without any further damage (hopefully). Magisk only alerts the boot image (or in some cases recovery image), which makes it very safe and easy to revert if there are problems. You rarely end up with an irreparable loss unless you start trying to fix stuff without actually knowing what you're doing.

I made it!
I finally went with direct install as it appears to be less disruptive, first it updated the app, then I selected "direct install (recommended)". Afterwards it started to patch ramdisk, repacked and flashed the image. One reboot later and the root status is back! I really missed my adblock!!!

2 - Exactly what is it that's reporting that your device isn't rooted? Because Magisk quite clearly says it is, according to your screenshot...

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Okay so I went to Git and downloaded this file https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk I then renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP. Is this correct?
When I reboot I find the same situation. Magisk appears installed correctly however no app can access root. No popup appears to accept/reject the su request and apps behave as if no root access. I've tried Root Checker, Titanium Backup and am happy to try any others.
Do you have any suggestions please on what else I can try?
Cheers

Ah... So the problem is not that you do not have root access The problem is that there's no superuser prompt when an app requests root.
IIRC there's a Xiaomi settings to allow apps to display popup messages (should be under app permissions). The Magisk app also need to be allowed to auto start. Of course, this is for MIUI and you're using RR so I have no idea if there is such a setting on your device currently...
Could of course be something completely different though.

Yes I suspect this is the issue - the notification is being blocked somehow.
Under app settings -> Magisk, I believe the settings are right:
Battery optimisation = off
Notifications = all allowed
There are plenty of guides out there of using RR with Magisk and no mention of any special settings to make it work.
I am also using nova launcher, I wonder if this could affect the notification somehow?
All suggestions welcome!

I noticed in Magisk under the Superuser tab, it just says "no app has asked for superuser permission yet." So perhaps not a notification issue after all?
I downloaded another app, "root checker basic". It also generated no popup, said I do not have root, and nothing appeared in the Magisk logs.
I feel like I am doing something wrong here but missing what it is.

One thought: make sure that nothing is restricting the Magisk app from autostarting and running in the background.
Also, have you checked with other users of your ROM? Might be a good place to get help for stuff like this...

This happened to me before. I had to rename the same zip to "uninstall.zip" and flash it, reboot, and then rename the zip to something else like Magisk.zip and flash again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this but no change afterwards unfortunately.
Also good idea @Didgeridoohan, I will cross post this on the forum for RR.

extract the boot.img and copy to phone. in Magisk, install and pick boot.img. copy the result file to pc, and flash using fastboot flash boot magi....img
if unlocked bootloader, flash direct and reboot.
