[MODULE] Nexus Assistant

This is a Magisk module to enable the assistant on existing Nexus devices
Github Repo:
https://github.com/kudiaborm/Nexus-Assistant

How soon? I'd like to try the assistant and I was thinking of doing the build.prop modification, but now that I saw this thread maybe I'll rather wait for this module.
Edit: Sweet module. Love it, worked as expected.

Make sure you're on a Google app version higher than 6.5.35.21. http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-6-6-14-release/
Magisk Manager doesn't like cache mods so you have to flash in recovery. Make sure you wipe data for Google App after flashing.
This only sets the two build. prop variables. I didn't include any Google app apks or wipe data for Google app. You'll have to do that yourself.

Just so you're aware replacing the entire build.prop causes issues. It's best to replace the two individual lines. You can use my module as a guide.

Will this be a magisk module still? Can it be undone easily?

Oddly enough no matter what I tried it didn't work/run properly from the post-fs script. I'll check your module. Maybe it has something to do with file encoding

Flashed in TWRP on Nexus 6, no /cache/magisk was created and neither the properties have changed:
Code:
$ adb shell
shamu:/ $ getprop ro.product.model
Nexus 6
shamu:/ $ getprop ro.opa.eligible_device
shamu:/ $
Did it work on Nexus 6p?

Are you able to Download+Install modules through the Magisk Manager Downloads section? I'm on NBD90x with Magisk v7, Nexus 6P, Magisk phh, Magisk Manager 2, and I get an error for every module I try to install through the manager. If I could get at the zips and just flash them that would be awesome, but I can't.

Yes I can download, install and reboot from the manager. But this mod needs to be flashed in recovery FYI.
Try and flash them from recovery. There's a folder where magisk manager downloads the zip files. It's in the root of the SD and I think its named magiskmanager

Yes, there is. Unfortunately immediately after the zips are downloaded, when the install fails, it removes the zip and I can't get at it. I've gone completely back to full stock NBD90X and installed everything, gone into Magisk Manager and am still unable to install any of the modules from there. It's so frustrating, haha.

It does. It's the only permission in fact.

If there's any Nexus 6 (so far the only arm and not arm64 phone to get Nougat, right?) owner who have this module or any other cache-module working, please post here. I suspect something cache-module related is broken on the arm phone(s).

You could try my mod. Instead of replacing the whole buld.prop file it just adds the two properties
Code:
ro.product.model=Pixel
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
to it.
Edit:
Forgot to mention it's still a cache mod so let me know how it works out.
And remember you need to flash it via recovery. Magisk Manager won't install it correctly.

As you can see below, loserskater already posted the same thing in post 3.

FE Heroes not working despite safety net check passing

Hey! First off, thank you to the creator of magisk, it's amazing and very useful
However, I can't seem to get Fire Emblem Heroes to work. OP3T on stock rom, TWRP and magisk 11.1, nothing else. Using MagiskSU for greenify and adaway and everything works. Manager says I pass the safety net check (used to give a profile mismatch but that went away after rebooting) and I've enabled magisk hide for the app, to no avail.
For what it's worth PoGo seems to be working fine.
What further info could I give you to help and where do I get it?
Thanks!!!!

I just updated from 1.0.2 to 1.1.0 and keep getting the same error message as before (the good old 803-3001).
This is supposed to be a connection error message, but it doesn't make sense -- if I hotspot off my magisk'd OP3T to a stock OPO or a stock iPad, the game works fine, so it stands to reason the connection is good.
Hence my suspicion that it's probably a SafetyNet issue (FE:H, like PoGo, uses SafetyNet -- might be a Nintendo thing). Any idea how to get around it?
Thanks!

Might be an issue where the app also relies on another app or service to find a rooted device. See this thread, the Hiding root post under "Dependencies": https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/magisk-magisk-hide-troubleshooting-tips-t3561828

Good idea. I didn't think of that, but alas, the game doesn't ask for any permissions (and none listed in settings) -- so if they do use 3rd party software to check, it doesn't show up in the permission list.
Inspired by Pocket Morty's dependency on Google Play Games, I went and installed that too (I'd removed it as a cruft-reduction exercise) to see if that was it, but it's not. Still doesn't work, same error message.

Yeah, I don't think it has to be as a result of permissions (note to self: update the text)... It might also be that the app is looking for certain prop values. Both of these are hard to figure out without decompiling the apk.

Well now, that's substantially more complicated and probably out of my league I'll have to stick to playing it on the iPad. It's not impossible, just annoying.

you could try on nox pc emulator too, it is working on 1.1 (i had to disable root tho)
i will try with magisk on my phone until i install the apps on LineageOS13
EDIT: @pqueiro it works on LineageOS 13 and using Magisk 11.1, without problems, so i guess can be something of the rom (i can pass the net check too, and PoGo without problems)

The plot thickens. Let me check on my "playground" phone if I can replicate that.

@pqueiro
did you install the game when the Phone was already rooted?
I can replicate this issue when installing the game on already rooted devices - but if I install the game on a non-rooted device and apply magisk afterwards the game launches proper.
Create a nandroid backup, flash the rom and try to launch the game while non-rooted and see if it makes a difference for you.

FYI, tried this (took the opportunity when updating Oxygen OS) and it worked a treat! All is good. Backup > unroot > update > install > magisk all the things and it's working fine.

[HELP] Hide Magisk Manager (Repackage) upgrades the version over the internet

I have my Samsung A30 (SM-A305F) rooted with magisk canery (87de0e7a) by flashing patched boot img via odin. Now, If i try to hide magisk with random package , it demands internet connection and install the latest version (9348c5ba). BUT i don't want to upgrade as the updated version has weird bug of rejecting SU automatically (with a very brief pop-up). I then need to ---> uninstall the repackaged app ---> Reboot ---> install 87de0e7a version ---> then it become functional again. I don't have TWRP installed. Re-flashing new patched boot requires wiping data. i don't want to do factory reset
Now I want to hide magisk as PUBG MOBILE might be crashing due to root detection. Please help me achieve solution:
(1) hide magisk manager without updating
(2) update magisk manager without that BUG of rejecting SU automatically

1 - Hide the Manager and let it update fully, no way around that. Then replace /data/user_de/0/com.H3.nuhw6UY.GoCgl/dyn/current.apk with the apk of whatever Manager version it is you want to use (and don't forget to set the same permissions and owner).
Edit: replace the package name above with the one your Manager uses.
2 - Seems to be a similar issue reported here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2944
If there's anything to be done about it, it will be eventually.
If you can get some proper logs showing the su rejection and add to the above linked issue that would be great.

Note: i previously managed to hide it successfully when there was no newer version. It would just download the same version from the internet and repackage itself with random package name. But some days ago, i restored original manager and now i can't get it to hide.

Thanks for replying. I followed our steps (com.mkhirsnpiw.z.kkt was used instead of com.H3.nuhw6UY.GoCgl). But it again says the same thing, "Upgrade to full magisk to finish the setup. Download and install?". Clicking ok upgrades it again

Did you place the new current.apk file in the same directory and give it the proper permissions (same owner and permission 600)? I just tested and had no issues downgrading the hidden Manager to 285 this way.

yes with MiXplorer.
When Manager updated itself , i tried to update the magisk ( not the manager). But it bricked my phone as it won't start. i had to flash stock firmware via odin. It happened what i feared about. Now, i will try to patch boot img with new version.

UPDATE: I patched and flashed boot img using canary 290. after rebooting , this time there was not that Bug of rejecting SU automatically. Root was functional. But when it asked to do additional setups, it was stuck on setup operation forever and when i tried to hide manager, it showed "hiding magisk manager failed". so i uninstalled canary 290 and installed 7.5.1 (267) . This time additional setup was completed and rebooted automatically. But there was some problem with su access. so i uninstalled 7.5.1 (267) and installed canary 290. Root is now functional and it does not ask for additional setup anymore. (meaning setup was complete?). But still shows "hiding magisk manager failed" when try to hide manager. I don't know what is the problem . I was using canary 284 without any problem. PUBG mobile was runnig without problem. Now I am tired......

Disabling Play Protect Worked !!!! Thank you Sir :angel:

Stuck after update

Device: SM-N950F
Android version: 9
Magisk version name: com.topjohnwu.magisk
Magisk version code: 22,1 (22100)
Well I believe this is an alien thing going on.
Magisk was working fine.
I just had a notification to update Magisk in the notifications bar.
I simply accepted, something showed downloading and then nothing happened.
So I just then went to check Magisk. I opened it and I chose to install latest 22.1 (22100) (20) App.
Well it downloads, I install it succesfully but then Magisk manager (already hidden and renamed) doesn't open.
It just shows a message "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?" I press OK , it downloads for some seconds something and then it shows a toast message "Please manually re-launch the app".
I re-launch Magisk Manager and get again "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?"...
A continuous loop in other words with no successful outcome.
Now:
Some apps that require root still work
A banking app is still working, another sees rooted and stops
Rootchecker app shows "root access is not properly installed"
Root check app shows "rooted"
In other words a big fat mess!
I strongly fear that If I reboot the device I will lose all remaning root capabilities. Correct???
I think of flashing with TWRP "Magick 22.zip" but then this may mean fresh rooting and ALL data will be lost. Correct???
Thank you all in advance, God bless you!

No reply! Smells bad!!

that's not official Magisk website the only official is the github page https://www.xda-developers.com/psa-magiskmanager-com-not-official-website-magisk/

Today I will restart device.
Fingers crossed (nandroid backup + all data of SD card to PC + TitaniumBackup)!

I restarted it today.
It loaded OK and some banking app that was seeing root now just works fine.
Magisk Manager still doesn't open and I am worried to flash Magisk22.zip because I may lose data and can't handle the hassle to restore all settings etc.
Very weird situation.

Magisk appears to be installed but no root

Hi
I have magisk installed but my phone is reporting not rooted.
My setup:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Ressurection remix
Magisk 23.0
Things I've tried:
Disabled battery optimisation for magisk app
Reinstalled magisk a couple of times from twrp
Other root requiring apps (no change)
I've attached the logs from Root Checker, magisk and snip of my magisk. Please let me know if there is more info I can provide.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

1 - Don't use that website. The only place for verified and safe Magisk downloads is on John's Github:

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
ara

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!
Cheers
ara

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.

Rename the file to uninstall.zip then flash the firmware then flash the magisk it will work for sure i was also facing the same problem
