Magisk v12 loses root after a short while.

I noticed today that I lost root. I searched and tried everything to fix it but I couldn't. So, I wiped out my entire phone and did a clean flash of Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 for the TMobile Note 3. Magisk worked after a clean flash.
Spent hours loading every app back on and now, Magisk isn't working again?
Please help?
Android version is 7.1.2.

Did it really lose root? I've found that randomly when you open Magisk it will claim that it has no root access, but when you close it (exit the app and swipe it away from the recents menu) and reopen it it will start functioning properly again.

Use un su zip first to remove the pre-installed root that rr has. Don't know if RR has root inbuilt now or not. But if it comes with root uninstall it and flash magisk on top of it and you are good to go

Me too have this problem. Magisk root sometimes gone, and i need to reboot device to make it work agan.
Tested in almost N custom roms like CM14.1, AEX, Omni, ViperOS, etc

If you installed magisk it will remove built in root automatically. -_-

Did you turn off magisk busybox ? It would help on fix that.
In another way, some of modules you installed may have potential to make you lose root. Trying to do enable/disable module to test it.

I did some more searching and someone said just flash Magisk again. I did that and it worked! But, then I lost root again several hours later, seems so random? I flashed Magisk again and it worked again.
I can only get two green on Magisk, the third green seems to run forever, I left it on for 10+ minutes and it still showed "testing".
BTW, I didn't flash the uninstall Magisk zip before re-flashing. I tried that way and my phone got into a bootloop. Luckily, I had a TWRP backup.

Thanks! I'll try this and see if it helps!

BTW, is anyone able to install Snapchat? I tried the Hide feature in Magisk and checked Snapchat, but it still knows I'm rooted and immediately closes after opening.
Also, the Sphero BB8 app? Anyone get that working? That one also closes right after opening.

No magisk just overrides the root. Use Un su zip first then flash magisk and u won't lose root

I just want to clarify.
If systemless SuperSU is detected, Magisk will use that. If any other root is installed, the installation script will attempt to remove it and install MagiskSU instead (not sure to be successful and might lead to issues). If no root is installed, MagiskSU will be used. To avoid issues, the unSU zip is quite useful.
From v13, Magisk will no longer be compatible with SuperSU.

Wow, this is very informative, thanks!
Which version of unSU.zip is the correct one to use? Is this one okay?

It is because your device lost safety net.
You need to reflash system and gapps.
Back up data partition then wipe all then flash rom and gaps and then magisk.
After starting device first enable magisk hide.
Then restore backed up /data.
After restart enable magisk hide switches and reboot system.
Profit.
Reply it works or not.

Or root is gone after some time?

Xposed

Good day all
Will xposed work on Note 8 (N950FD)?
Thanks in advance

I would guess that an installer for an S8+ might work since it is basically the same device. Since rooting with TWRP and SuperSU I've flashed a few things meant for S8 devices and they either work properly as is or with very minor script tweaking.

Which root do you have—SuperSU or Magisk? I have Magisk, so tried with 26-07-17-xposed-systemless-v87-sdk25-by-PurifyOS.zip but that throws me into a bootloop directly?
How did you proceed chronologically?
First the Xposed apk (which one?), then flash the Purify zip? Did you wipe anything before or after, data or cache? I've read many conflicting reports, since you've done it should be possible to replicate it…

Hey guys,
Trying to install the systemless XPosed for Nougat on my Note 8, but for some reason, after installation, it stops my 256GB Exynos Note 8 from booting up. Was able to recover it by running the Magisk uninstaller via TWRP.
Noticed that on the official XPosed thread, it states that it'll 'cause boot loop issues on stock Samsung ROM, but on the Systemless XPosed Page, it claims the SDK 24 and 25 are universal, so, what's wrong?
Any suggestions on getting systemless XPosed working on my Exynos Note 8 with Nougat? I especially want the systemless variant as it allows easy on/off whenever I'm going shopping and want to use Android Pay instead of having to uninstall all modules.

Viper4Android Pie Compatible???

infinity rom.
magisk v18 and also newer test canary builds.
but prety sure its an issue where you don't wait 3 minutes after rebooting before doing actions that require root.
and not sure to which extent you tried to make magisk work with various files and mods but maybe you should just factory wipe and try and get magisk working before anything else. also mayke sure busybox is installed. and dont forget that 3 minute rule after a reboot.

Thanks im sure it maybe an magisk issue im running 17.3 because i kept losing root on v18. I acquire root with v4a but it freezes and then keeps telling me to reinstall driver after reboot. I will try the 3 minute rule though..thank you. You installed v4a directly thru magisk or flashed a different version?

Sky go help needed to hide root with magisk

On my phone xiaomi A1 rooted it works on the wife's phone xiaomi note 5 pro rooted it used to work fine but for some reason it has suddenly detected root and won't work now. I have checked all the settings to do with hiding are still selected as before, strange thing is it has worked briefly for a few seconds but then stopped again.
Please can people tell me if they have had this happen and how they fixed it please.
What checks is it doing to detect root does anyone know?
Thanks

Try updating magisk.
Try to disable xposed modules.
Try to disable all modules.
See if it works now.
Then one by one reenable them.

somehow they manage to detect root even if magisk manager is running under custom package name and magisk hide is enabled.
Last version that is still running is 13.1.1 (apk available on apkmirror).

thanks @h4lli i couldn't see sky go version 13.1.1 for uk
so i got Sky Go UK 12.4.14 from apkmirror and can confirm is working fine

yeah still doesnt work, latest sky go app 20, latest magisk, still detects, anyone able to reverse the sky app to see what methods its using?

Fyi - any version other than the latest (20.6.1) at the moment forces an upgrade to 20.6.1, which then detects root.
Safety net is passing both basic and cts with Eval type basic. I'm on latest canary (20425).
I've tried :-
Uninstalling all apps that skygo could look for (titanium, openvpn etc.)
Using a work profile (shelter and island)
Disabling oem unlocking
Disabling usb/adb debugging
Disabling developer options
Deleting all files and folders that have magisk, twrp or titanium in them.
Basically everything here https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps
So, I think it's basically no go for sky go at the moment. Happy to be corrected if someone has it working.

Hey, can you please attach the boot image that you used to root in C.19?

Is anybody having issues with delay in getting SMS/MMS messages. After updating to c19, I have noticed that sometimes I am not getting any messages. A reboot will temporarily fix the issue. I cleared the both Carrier Services and Messages app data which has not completely resolved the issue. I was just wondering if anyone else is having this issue? Also, I could not find Messages app listed under battery optimization list (may be because it's considered a system app?). BTW, I am not rooted and have 2215 running C19 version. Thanks.

I have the question battery working better than oxygen 12 ? Also apk file install normaly or I must sideload VIA adb ?
