hello guys, hope you can help me here.
so as per title say, i got error when installing magisk manager 5.6.4, app not installed.
have try with older version but got same problem.
before this, i tried to upgrade system from nougat to oreo. successful with flashable roms.
at nougat, i got magisk manager, but couple steps to upgrade they recommended to remove magisk, so i use magisk uninstaller. and magisk gone for good.
after booting to oreo, i want to recover root, but cant even install magisk manager apk.
try to flash magisk 16.0, success with no problem.
now im very confuse. need help.
EDIT 1: and for some reason i cant install OTA. is this related?
Unfortunately I ran into the same problem. I tried installing Magisk Manager (5.6.3 and 5.6.4) on a stock, clean Nexus 6P but received that same error when running the app. I originally used ADB to install it and when that didn't produce the expected result I just used ADB to push the file to the device and then installed it manually. Neither method resulted in Magisk Manager running so I ended up having to install TWRP (which is what I was trying to avoid) and then flash the Magisk zip file. After that Magisk Manager ran successfully.
Too bad the documentation makes assumptions about everyone automatically understanding what is meant by 'install Magisk Manager'.

Today I updated my magisk installation from v17.3 to v18.0 using the Magisk Manager app, I rebooted my phone and I'm stuck on the phone logo.
I can get into TWRP, from there I tried to reinstall v17.3 and also uninstall v18.00 but for both cases I get "unable to open boot image" followed by a red "Error 1" in TWRP.
I have a OnePlus Two, running stock MM rom from OnePlus. Never had a problem with Magisk, any tips on how to fix it?
It's not a bootloop, I think boot image is broken.
Thanks for your help
I managed to fix this by downloading the stock rom and flashing the boot.img file inside using TWRP, reflashed Magisk 18.0 without problems.

Hey guys,
I rooted my phone several weeks ago for the first time via odin and everything went fine. I installed TWRP and Magisk and everything worked out.
Today I was trying to update Magisk from v20.x to v21.x with the inapp option, but now im stuck in a bootloop to download mode, screen says "Downloading... do not turn off target".
Even if I turn the phone off with Power + Home + Vol Down its just restarting right away and getting stuck in the same screen again.
Im still able to enter TWRP Recovery, but I dont know what to do to end the download mode problem when trying to start the phone.
I actually dont know/understand much about that stuff, so I dont know which other info I need to provide.
Is there something I could do without going through the whole flash/root process again?
should i try to delete magisk and install it again? if yes, how do i do it?
Help would be appreciated.

I don't know much about your device but if you can enter TWRP, it's not that bad. First what you can try is to download Magisk uninstaller and flash it in TWRP from USB. However, I don't know what can you do to update Magisk safely. Would be best if you can check your device forum or ask the question there

Looked like my device forum is pretty dead, which is why I asked the question here again. Thanks for the fast respone
Its probably not possible to just install a Magisk version again and overwrite the current one, probably need to uninstall first and then install it again?
There is a Magisk Module Uninstaller and a Magisk Uninstaller. Are those different things or just the same?
How to Uninstall Magisk Module Using TWRP Recovery | MagiskRoot

How to Uninstall Magisk From Android [2 Easiest Method]
Are you facing issues with Magisk? You can uninstall magisk from your phone with these simple and easy steps.
magiskmanager.com
Because the 2nd guide says in the end
Keep in Mind – Whenever you use TWRP as a method to uninstall Magisk, it is imperative to flash the Magisk Module Uninstaller Zip onto your device.
Does this mean I need to do the magisk module one first?
@n00btuber Do not trust those websites. They're in no way official and are just trying to get adc revenue from Magisk's popularity. If you're really unlucky they'll also provide you with malicious zips...
Only download stuff from John's GitHub:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
If you need to uninstall Magisk use the uninstall zips from the above linked Github repo, and if you need to uninstall modules (but those will also be removed by the Magisk uninstaller) you can do that directly from TWRP:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Uninstalldeletedisable_modules_from_recovery
A lot of times you can just flash another Magisk version over your installed one, but there are times where you do need to uninstall first. Since you have TWRP it can't really hurt to just try flashing whatever Magisk zip you want and it it doesn't work you can just use the uninstaller first.
One other thing to try would be the Canary release, mainly to see if you're affected by any bugs that is present in the current stable release but has been fixed upstream. You'll find the Canary app in the same Github link above.

Ok.
Was trying to use the uninstaller from his GitHub.
Trying to flash it leads to
"Updater process ended with ERROR:1
Error installing Zip file .....
Updating partition details"
So what to do now?
Trying to just flash any Magisk version to overwrite the current one leads to the same result.
I think it says Unsupported/Unknown image format
Your TWRP might be bugged/incompatible. I'd reflash your stock boot image and then patch the file manually (you'll find the instructions for that on GitHub as well).

But TWRP worked fine when installing magisk the first time, I even tried the same zip folder I used to install it back then, but it wont work anymore.

However, whats my stock boot image and how to reflash it? Cant find a guide for that on GitHub.
Would a Factory Reset wipe all Magisk stuff and my TWRP Partition as well?
Does anyone know what is going on between Magisk and Google? It seems Google has removed Magisk Manager from the Play Store AGAIN! What's more, I downloaded and installed the apk but when I try to use it to install the latest Magisk the install fails. Tried installing the Magisk zip via TWRP, and while it doesn't show any errors, I still don't have root.
Ok I really need some more help @Didgeridoohan
Meanwhile I tried to reinstall TWRP from within TWRP. There was no error so I think it should have worked, but didnt solve the problem.
As soon as I try to boot the system it directly boots download mode and gets stuck in it. The volume buttons wont work or do anything as they are supposed in download mode.
Im still able to get into TWRP, but I still dont know what to do to stop this crashed download mode that starts over and over again.
When trying to flash the magisk uninstall it states "cannot access /data", when trying to flash a magisk installer it states "unsupported/unknown image format"
I dont care about Magisk right now though, I can root and install magisk again as soon as im able to clear the download mode problem. I was just trying this because trying to update magisk from within magisk manager has caused this download mode problem to appear.
Just tell me please how to fix that or how to factory reset my phone so it is able to boot regular again.
Thank you

Sounds to me like you need to reflash your ROM, not TWRP. According to your OP, you're running Android 7, but it doesn't say if it is stock or a custom ROM.. If it is stock, then use Frija.exe to download the ROM and then flash th AP, BL and HOME_CSC md5 files with Odin. If it is a custom ROM, use TWRP to flash the ROM and gapps. DO NOT try to flash Magisk. Right now there seems to be a problem with Google disabling Magisk. Wait till it is resolved before attempting to get root.
@n00btuber Dirty flashing your ROM is most likely the way to go, just like described above.
But @lewmur, what do you mean by "Google disabling Magisk"? If you're talking about SafetyNet there are ways around that (and it doesn't affect root)...

I not talking about safety net. Look in Play Store for Magisk Manager. It is no longer there. And even if you download and install the apk, it won't install Magisk. Flashing Magisk from TWRP doesn't give root privileges. This just happened yesterday.

The Magisk Manager hasn't been on the Play Store for years... Edit: reference - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-the-magic-mask-for-android.3473445/post-72508849
Nothing of what you describe has anything to do with Google "disabling Magisk".

That 's my mistake. Play Store would put up a lot of "Magisk Manager" stuff, but I never really tried any of it because flashing Magisk would give me the Manager. But even that "stuff" no longer shows up.
Butt Magisk Manager still won't install Magisk. It will download the zip file, but when it attemps to install it, it get an error saying Unsupported/Unknown image format. If I flash it from TWRP, and then open Magisk Manager, it still says N/A under Installed for Magisk.

That will be an incompatibility between Magisk and your device and has nothing to do with Google (blame your OEM for doing weird stuff instead).
Thanks for the help guys, had to flash the ROM, now its working again.
I have been using Magisk for two years on my device (Moto G5S Plus). Some time ago I did an upgrade of the Magisk Manager app, unfortunately not knowing I should have unhidden it first. From that moment when I started the app, it would immediately stop. Today I finally had the time to dive into the problem. I uninstalled the Magisk app, and from TWRP uninstalled Magisk.
And now I am trying to install Magisk v22.0. I have downloaded and installed the latest Magisk app. When I start it, it shows my device has a boot ramdisk.
I downloaded the stock boot.img to my device, selected Install from the Magisk card, keep options as they are (keep AVB 2.0/dm-verity: off, keep enforced encryption: on).
At the Method step I selected the downloaded boot.img. When I tap "Go" (or whatever it would say with an English UI), nothing happend. I waited several minutes without anything happening.
The UI is responsive. I can go back and do it all over again, with the same result.
Why doesn't the app patch the image?
Is there anything else I can or should do eliminate traces of the old hidden Magisk manager app (besides a full restore, because without Magisk no root, without root no Titanium backup)?

It doesn't necessary to patch boot image. I had same problem.
Just install magisk 22 with TWRP, reboot...open magisk and install it.
You are ready and rooted.
Thanks for your quick reply. Problem solved!
Hello,
I have rooted my GPlay and installed TWRP.
Unfortunately my banking app detects the root and refuses to work.
I heard about Magisk which can be used to bypass this.
Can anyone tell me where to get this for my GPlay and how to install it?
I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 hw4c installed and SuperSU Free v2.68 (SuperSU-v2.68-SYSTEMMODE.zip)
Phone:
Model: CHC-U01
EMUI 4.0 Android 6
I've downloaded the Magisk App and try to install. But get this error:
Installation failed
Boot Image patched by unsupported programs
Please restore back to stock boot image
That error message tells you exactly what you need to do... You need to first remove SuperSU. After that you might be able to install Magisk, but you might need to use the patch boot image method, since that TWRP could be a bit too old.
But, even if you get Magisk installed it's not certain that you'll be able to circumvent your banking app's root detection. There are ways of detecting root that Magisk cannot hide. But, you've certainly got a better chance with Magisk than with SuperSu... You'll find some root hiding tips here:

Ok. I forget about Magisk.
Thanks to you Didgeridoohan and jwoegerbauer.
