Hello!
Already got iHackers 2.0 + .290-kernel running (complete installed system) on rooted Z1 (C6903)!
Wanted to grant some apps SuperSu-permission and wanted to check within SuperSu which apps already got granted SuperSu-permissions. SuperSu showed up a message: binary must be updated! So I checked update normal way but install/download failed!
So I've searched www and found that someone mentioned to another guy (got same problem) to download Chainfire 1.51-flashable-SuperSu and this guy mentioned: flash in recovery and do update later on!
I tried and now ROOT HAS GONE!
Is it possible to use KingoRoot now again to get Root-permission back without loosing something (data, dual-recovery, xposed-stuff which is already installed, ...)?
How am i able to get binary for SuperSu up-2-date?
Thanks,

I got the pro version of SuperSu which fixed that binary problem for me.. As always make a back up of everything just in case. As far as I'm aware you do not have to factory reset or wipe data to root with KingoRoot.
Try it, otherwise I'd personally just go through the procedure again (and wipe data if needed) to get the root back. If you make a back up, it won't be a problem. Just a little time.
Hi!
Do have Pro-Version, too, but SU-Binary will not be updated! So I do need a way to get that SU-Binary updated without loosing Root, ...!
Thx,

Strange, I had exactly the same message. Firstly have you got Busybox Installed? Try installing this then updating again.
I'm researching it, a lot of other threads saying you may need to reroot to get it working, but try the above first.
This may help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059440

Hello there,
stupid question but Pokemon Go doesn't work with latest version (0.37). It says OS is incompatible (and ROM has been de-rooted, this was verified). I think it's due to Safeynet check that doesn't pass. I will check this tonight !
Using an old AMCHA version (Android 4.4.4), Pokemon Go works great with 0.35... but for now. When this version will be desactived, there will be no way to play anymore.
Is there a ROM, official or custom, working with Pokemon Go 0.37 and future versions ?
Thanks for your help !
seconding this!
i am on N4EliteLite_v15-Final-Note5Edition_i9305_AROMA and the game worked perfectly until the update
i already tried RootCloack with Xposed -- not working
i cannot try magisk method because it requires android 5.0 and i have not found a 5.0 rom with working gps for i9305.
any ideas?
thanks in advance!
Yep, I saw Magisk method but I didn't noticed it was only for Android 5.0+. So I will have to flash a new ROM if I want Pokemon GO + root !
Is there an official Samsung release (or an optimised ROM based on it) that works will v0.37 ?
@Girugamesh : it seems that Ressurection Remix is the best one to choose !
thanks for telling.
unfortunaly i am stuck with magisk manager root toggle turning it self off again
i flashed ressurection remix and followed the guide on androidpolice
i even tried flashing "unSU Script zip"
let me hear if you have any luck with your i9305
I will try to flash new ROM this week-end. I will tell you if I find something.
For your issue, check if all the folders associated with SuperSU are deleted : /system/xbin/su, /data/su.img, /sbin/su etc. There is probably something remaining from previous root.
i finaly made it. the real pain was to get rid of a corrupted supersu installation (es file explorer was not allowed to remove su.bin)
i did supersu unroot, deleted the files you said, also used unSu script.zip BUT since i dont need root, i just started pokemon and it works.
to clarify i am on ressurection remix android6.0 with a i9305
thanks for your help
Great news !
For my wife's phone, I will give a try on the latest official ROM (4.4.4 - I9035XXUFPB1). If it doesn't work, I will go on RRM + full unroot. More news this week-end
hoeni said:
How?
I didn't find a Superuser app, but I deleted everything su related from /system
Flashed magisk, Flashed phh Superuser, installed magisk and phh app, but the toggle keeps reverting to root. Maybe you could provide me with the steps you took

I thought that I'd post my solution here. I'm running CM13 right now and I can run the lastest version of Pokemon go.
1. Install Supersu from the play store and select the option full unroot.
2. Flash Magisk and phh's SuperUser.
3. Install the Magisk manager apk and install phh's SuperUser from the play store.
4. Now when you want to play PoGo open the Magisk manager and disable root. Simple as that.

Yep, I followed the steps provided by the dev of magisk. Seems like that thread gets so overrun by "doesn't work" that individual questions get forgotten haha
I can't think of anything I did wrong, I'm trying to get it to work on an s3 lte and a note 3.
On my main, s7 edge, it works perfectly. But only because I found a rom featuring magisk and phh root in aroma.
I'm reflash the rom right now to start over. Maybe it'll work now.
Edit:
phh's root didn't work.
the modified SU app did however
Edit 2:
Nah
Magisk is working, yes, but PoGo wont let me enter and SafetyNet wont let me pass either.
Ugh getting sick of this.
Tested with official I9305XXUFOB2 and without any root / busybox, everything is OK with Pokemon GO 0.37.1. No need to go further for my part

Hey man, can you help me step by step what you did to unroot and get POGO running on resurrection remix
Hi there fellows ! ^^
First of all, I want you all to know that I really am sorry if this is something that has been asked before. I tried, but couldn't find an answer by myself and I don't want to damage my phone again (I may have been waaaaay too hasty in the past...). So here goes.
I have a Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) which I rooted a while ago (two or three months ago maybe ? Can't remember for sure) by unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP from ADB, flashing the SuperSU zip file... You know, the usual thing. After that I went ahead and installed Xposed Framework, Busybox and several applications and modules which needed root like many of you I guess. Everything went fine. And still is, for the record.
Now I realize that I may have been living under a rock because I discovered very recently that not only SuperSU can be downloaded from the Play Store but also that there is Magisk, an open-source alternative with more functionnalities. Guess what ? I want it.
Soooo I did some research and read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 along with other articles here and there on the web and it seems that I'd just have to install some Magisk Manager app' from the Play Store... Is that really all there is to do ?!
I'm worried because it says "If you're already rooted with MagiskSU or Latest Official Systemless SuperSU". Yep, the "Systemless" part get me worried. While I do understand what it means, I can't help but wonder : since I installed SuperSU from a flashable zip file, is it Systemless ? How can I tell ?
Plus the whole thing is kinda confusing to me. If I do that, will Magisk remove SuperSU ? But if so, won't there be a problem with Xposed and other apps that need root ? Same question applies if I first manually remove SuperSU (assuming I can actually do that) before installing anything else.
In short, how should I proceed ? Do I have to remove anything ? Can I do anything ?
Again, sorry if things had been told already. I really want to take my shot, but I don't wanna soft brick my device again by being too carefree one more time.
Thank you for your time and your help.
When super su is installed magisk will make it automatically systemless. But it can't guarantee that it can always hide it. If super su isn't installed /you are unrooted then magisk will install and use magisk su.
Also since you mentioned them: soft bricks can be resolved by just reflashing your Rom, no need to wipe (lose your data) in most cases

Thank you for your answer. Can I uninstall SuperSU to install Magisk su instead then ? Do I need to remove Xposed module and my root apps too ?

Yeah, I do know that, but I really do need my phone at the moment, so I'd kinda be in a world of pain if I brick it.
You can Uninstall super su if you want but it isn't a must if you don't care magisk su. I would remove xposed before installing magisk and after having installed magisk you can install the systemless version. As for your apps that use root, you don't need do deinstall them

Sorry for the late reply.
I do want to use Magisksu instead of SuperSU. So basically, what I have to do is :
1 - Uninstall Xposed by flashing the uninstaller from TWRP
2 - Uninstall SuperSu (by the app menu ? Is it enough to remove root ?
3 - Install Magisk from the store
4 - Install systemless Xposed from the store
And I'll be all set, correct ? Nothing should go wrong ?

I'll add a couple of points to your list:
2.5 - Make sure to restore the stock boot image.
3.5 - Flash magisk.zip in recovery. You can't install through the Manager if not rooted.
If you want to use Magisk Hide to pass SafetyNet you'll have to disable Xposed. Magisk can't hide it, even if it's systemless.

Thank you for this clarification. Can you also tell me how can I restore the stock boot image only ? Or Do I have no choice but to re-flash the whole ROM in order to do so ?

Just flash the boot image from an near stock custom Rom. You can flash it through a recovery menu

Well, all I can find with Huawei Firmware Finder seems to be full or OTA ROM updates. I can't download the boot image only.
However, within the SuperSU app settings, there are two options : one to change superuser app and a second one to completely remove root. By any chance, does one of these options clear the boot image by itself ?

It can be a bit of a bother getting the boot image from inside a Huawei factory image...
SuperSU can restore your boot image when you do the full unroot. That was actually what I was referring to with my 2.5.

Hi all,
Yesterday I've unlocked my Oneplus 3T bootloader and installed TWRP.
After that I flashed Lineage 14.1, Open Gapps, addonsu-14.1-arm64-signed.zip and finally Magisk. Reboot and install SuperSu.
But I'm wondering if I still need to flash the Lineage addonsu and SuperSu.

What are you doing mixing all those root solutions? Pick one... If you want Magisk, you do not need the other two.

Thanks. I probably missed something when reading the threads. I understood Magisk can root my devices, but didn't understood that simply installing it would root my device. So that's why I was flashing su binary and using SuperSU app.
Thanks a lot.
First of all I'm sorry for answering this post so late but I needed to do it.
Well, according to all I've seen about magisk, and obviously with this post, everything I must do to use magisk is:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash Official Stock ROM
3. Flash Magisk.zip
4. Install Magisk Manager
Is it all? Really? Shouldn't I do anything else, because I'm too worried about it. I've ever used SuperSU until now, and this things of MagiskSU, Magisk Manager and Magisk Hide option are really new for me.
If someone could answer me, including the owner of this post it'd be VERY APPRECIATED and I would thank you all a lot!
Thanks haha

It's not quite apparent from your post if you have rooted with SuperSU already and now want to use Magisk instead. But, considering that you're posting in a thread that deals with moving from SuperSU I'm gonna go with that... Kind of...
You will need an unlocked bootloader, yes.
If you've rooted with SuperSU you can reflash your ROM, or use something like @osm0sis unSU zip and then flash the stock boot image only. Depends on your setup which option is easier. If you're not already rooted, this step is unnecessary.
Installing Magisk is just as easy as that, yes.
The Manager is also installed when flashing the Magisk zip, so this step is unnecessary. However... In rare cases the Manager doesn't install with the zip. If that happens you just have to install it manually.
The only step I'd like to add is to have a backup of all important data and files on your device. That's always good practice when tinkering with your device...
The release thread and the installation/troubleshooting thread (I'm hoping to have time to update it for Magisk v15.2 tonight) are good resources when setting everything up and if you encounter issues. Searching through the general support thread is also a good idea if issues arise. Most questions have been answered numerous times already.
I'm new to Magisk but have a couple of questions. I have a pixel XL running Dirty UNICORNS rooted with SuperSU. If I want to use Magisk can I just flash my dirty UNICORNS rom, gapps and then the magisk.zip?

No. You merely need to uninstall SuperSU, either through the SuperSU app (complete uninstall) or by using the unSU zip. You'll also have to make sure that you restore the stock unpatched boot image.
After that you can flash Magisk and you'll be good to go.
Has anyone has success in installing this on Android 5.0 samsung S4 ? I followed the instructions and the manager just says not installed.
Unless you provide more details and installation logs it's gonna be hard to help...

What details would you like to know? I flash it and then later restart but the manager was not there so I tried to install it from saving the apk file that I downloaded. But it just said it was not installed and later I found out I lost root from trying to flash Xposed on my phone.
I am very new to this and tried to follow the tutorials and videos but its not working cause I thought using Magisk I can install the seamless Xposed.
Those recovery/installation logs would be a good start.
You're muddling up the details a bit...
Was the Manager not installed or did it report that Magisk wasn't installed? And you lost root? But you said you couldn't install Magisk... Are you already rooted? That might cause issues.
Being nice and clear and detailed (what is being flashed, version numbers, what's already done, what works, what doesn't work, with logs, etc) in your descriptions would help.

I hope this is clearly for you!
1. I flash the file with TWRP with success
2. The phone got stuck on samsung logo
3. Root was removed.
4.I had to re flash stock and it is working again.
5. How do I get the logs of Magisk if my phone keeps looping?
I wanted to use Magisk to see if Xposed would work but it looks like i can't even get Magisk to work on my samsung i9500 with original rom. This same thing happens with Xposed where everything goes smoothly with flashing it in recovery and then a boot loop on the logo. Others on this forum have been complaining about this too and perhaps the developer might have not considered odexed rom like samsung for these wonderful apps to work?
I am going back to Kitkat where i don't have these issues and I can use Xposed.
