Hello, I am currently rooted on stock oos 4.0.3, with latest TWRP and super su free v2.79, can anyone help me out and tell me how to switch to magisk please, thank you!
Can I just use super su full unroot option then flash magisk?
Either reflash the original boot.img or download the unsu script from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067, then flash magisk again.

If you use the unSU script the process is:
unSU
stock boot image
Magisk
This method did not work for me.
I am on KETAN n10 and initially, viper did not work. I installed magisk but that didn't fix it. nor the meefik busy box. So i decided to uninstall magisk and go back to superSU and it magically worked...
I unrooted from SuperSU itself like shown on the app's forum I believe. It rebooted my phone, I went into recovery first and then just flashed the latest magisk and made the switch :laugh:

So you just went into the SuperSU app and used the built in Unroot option, and when the phone rebooted, you went back into recovery and flashed the latest Magisk and did NOT flash a boot.img and everything worked fine? you have root with Magisk now instead of SU and you didnt get a bootloop at all??? (i really want to swap out SU for magisk in my sons LG G2, so he can play PoGo again lol) (His G2 is running CRdroid custom rom, I wonder if that effects the steps I'll need to take)
Can anyone offer me some guidance or assistance please and thank you?

If there's a proper backup of the boot image for the SuperSU app's full unroot option to restore, then that process should work perfectly (I've done it on a few devices myself). It's when it can't properly restore the boot image you might have issues and you'll have to do it yourself.
Take a look in the Magisk Troubleshooting guide, under "Moving from another systemless root solution to MagiskSU".
The nuclear method might be, to just flash the full stock OOS zip (can flash in TWRP) which will unroot and restore the boot.img (and everything else!). Then immediately flash Magisk before rebooting (so have the Magisk zip on the phone before updating). This should fully remove SuperSU, install Magisk, and keep TWRP on the phone.
Seeing as the original poster is still on OOS 4.0.3, you may want to update, anyway!

I've done this on my 3t but I do have a G3 coincidentally lol, but yes I unrooted from su, it restarted my phone, before booting back into the system I went in twrp right away and then flashed magisk.
There are two options given in the SuperSU app, one is clean up to switch to a different SU app and the other is to permanently unroot. Which option is better?

I chose the Full Unroot option. Then flashed magisk. Worked perfectly.
Use the full unroot option. Catch here is that you might get dm-verity warning. It won't affect the phone in anyway but Android Pay might not work and you will see the warning for 5 seconds, everytime you restart the phone.
Thanks so much for ths thread. I am on Resurrection Remix OS and inititally installed SuperSU over Magisk (which came with the ROM). I decided that I wanted to use Magisk instead and followed the instructions in this thread and it worked a treat.
For the past two days I've tried unsuccessfully to install Magisk for the hide SafetyNet option.
My phone is a D5803 with the firmware 23.5.A.1.291 R12D Nordic Combined
Let me give the background to my dilemma.
I bought the phone already unlocked
I had TWRP installed and rooted with SuperSU
After a few months, I've decided to change the root for magiskSU so I uninstalled SuperSU 2.92 and attempted to flash Magisk 14 with the result of Error 1. After some fiddling I've bricked the phone and did a full reinstallation of my phone with the untouched firmware.
After reinstalling TWRP 3.1.1 I've tried my luck again to no avail, this time backing up my system.
I scoured the forum and on the net for pointers on how I could do this but I can't seem to find anything to make this work.
I tried going back to the kernel 575, flash Magisk, flash 291 just like the superSU thread,
tried reinstalling stock firmware, unSU, uninstall Magisk, flash magisk,
tried using bootbridge and even Magisk Manager app to patch the boot.img but comes up as failed ELF32 format detected and to use bootbridge needs to be used.
Using bootbridge with Magisk in TWRP "appears" to work but really doesn't do anything
I've tried flash tool from and xperifirm to get a boot.img different of the one I have but when I come to create a ftf, the program jams on me.
I don't want to reinstall SuperSU if I can as I tried HideSU with no results. Help would be greatly appreciated

Have you tried with a different stock kernel, (maybe Elite)? Not sure what the problem is. I've never had trouble with Magisk, but now that I think about it, I don't think I ever tried to flash it on straight stock rom, (I prefer phh anyway in general).
Another thought I had is, if Magisk has a problem with elf format, maybe use Rashr to make a kernel backup image, then flash the backup, (I really don't know anything about this stuff, just shooting in the dark...).

It'll be rooted when you flash Magisk. And install the Magisk Manager APK too, to allow root control.
I actually rooted without TWRP by flashing the patched boot image generated from Magisk, and then performed a factory reset because file integrity couldn't be verified. But the Magisk binaries worked.
Amazing, can you pls Upload your Modified Bootloader for me and all People here ?
For make the Galaxy M10 open for users and Dev's.
Sorry for the late reply, but it's always better to do it yourself depending on what OTA update you are currently on. Download the firmware, extract the boot image and patch it with Magisk Manager. Then flash it with ODIN or Heimdall while in download mode. Then I had to factory reset because file integrity could not be verified. But the root was preserved.

I'm trying to instal Magisk 19.3 through Magisk Manager Version: v7.3.4
and getting this error:
Device platform: arm64-v8a
Coping image to cache
unpacking boot image
!unsupported/unknown image format
!installation failed
Any ideas how to solve it?
I have used Stable Magisk Version: v19.3 (also tried Beta Magisk Version: v19.4)
Maybe something's wrong with the boot image? Try to re-download magisk stable zip and reintall it via TWRP.
@LogicalMaverick, tried to download it again from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 but still the same error message
I did try to install in TWRP mode and also from the Magisk Manager and still not working.
When I install in TWRP mode the result is the phone is getting into loop mode and the only way out if it is to uninstall it

Yeah, for me there are 2 ways:
1. Wipe data after flashing magisk before booting system
2. Complete phone setup first after installing new ROM, and then boot into recovery, then you're good to install magisk

I'm on stock ROM.
Was on MIUI 10.3.2 Now I'm on 10.4.8.
Tried to install Magisk on bot ROM through TWRP and didn't work.
Tried also through Magisk manager and didn't work
When I installed TWRP on my phone it asked if I want to give it permission to modify the system or to leave it read only mode.
I choose read only mode as I thought it will be easier to get OTA updates.
Maybe that's the reason Magisk cannot be installed correctly ?
TIA for your help

Yeah i think you should give TWRP all permission when you boot into it the first time
you can re-flash TWRP and try again
reboots to fastboot

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
Uninstall Magisk Module using TWRP Recovery or Offline whenever you stuck into bootloop. Magisk Module Uninstaller and Magisk Manager for Recovery methods.
magiskroot.net
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).

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.

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.
