Magisk and Xposed - Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers

Does it work for anyone?
I don't know what to do.
I get consistent bootloops after I install Xposed Installer.
It works until that point.
This is what I do:
1) reflash stock rom
2) use Xperifix to install TWRP and Magisk
3) install Magisk Manager
4) install Xposed Installer https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
After I reboot phone after step 4), the phone ends up in bootloops and I can't boot it up even in safe mode.
What do I do? What's wrong? Help!

First, what firmware are you using on your phone? The ONLY firmware that works with Xposed is .75 from April 2018.
If you flash .75 firmware and use Xperiafix to install magisk
Then open magisk and look in modules for Xposed framework (SDK 26)

What!!
This is not explained (warned about) anywhere!! Goddamn half a week wasted!
I have G8441_Customized CE1_1310-7123_47.1.A.16.20_R7B but also used .....12.270 or something before. Basically, the latest stock.
Why doesn't it work though?

look in Russel5 full_mod
post #47
It works for stock too.
customized DE 16.20

After installing magisk, root not working

After installing the magisk as I was rooted, I installed 2-3 mods ie flashed in twrp but after I rebooted my root is gone. Magisk manager is showing not rooted and when I re flashed supersu in twrp, installation was successful but still no root. What happened I don't know. Also I didn't install any phh supersu or busybox. Please help me regain my root.
HELP
It was a known bug in Magisk that you would lose root.
Magisk
v10.2
- [Magic Mount] Remove apps/priv-app from whitelist, should fix all crashes
- [phh] Fix binary out-of-date issue
- [scripts] Fix root disappear issue when upgrading within Magisk Manager

So i'd make sure you flashed the latest version ? Pretty sure you have but if not might be worth flashing supersu then magisk over it again as it should recognise supersu and not modify it.

After installing from play store, did you "FLASH" magisk ?

No I didn't flash anything. It was an automatic process which installed magisk and prompted me that installation success and reboot. Then I rebooted and root was gone
Now should I run magisk unstaller zip in twrp followed by supersu and then again flash magisk v10. 2 via twrp.. Should I follow these steps to gain my root again.. Anyone please help. I'm stuck @brichardson1991
Try installing PHH superuser from play store.
I had a similar experience. Having to reflash stock now to try a different tact. I'd rather use SuperSU to be honest, rather than PHH superuser.
Same problem here, have to investigate whats going on.

yeah flashing the stock rom was the only viable option i think .
I have the same problem with latest magisk. After i installed mods root is gone and i can not root again. Only with supersu i have root. Magisk is very bugy.
Yeah it does appear the latest version now causes you to lose supersu
Same problem with me, on the OP3 running Open Beta 11. Reflashing SuperSU did not work. Rather than extract the boot.img to reflash that, I ended up reflashing the firmware (and ended up mistakenly using the 4.0.1 file instead of the OPB11 one!) ... Yet to try SuperSU and Magisk again on this, but figured better to investigate the issue before I attempt to reinstall.
From what I understand here, v10 won't have this problem, and its only on v11 that its cropped up again? Can anybody with v10 confirm this?

I believe Magisk dropped SuperSu support at some point before v13. Magisk now includes its own systemless root solution, so SuperSu is not needed. Try uninstalling Magisk and SuperSu and flashing the latest 13.3 zip.

Two options:
If you have a pre-supersu/Magisk backup, restore it (at least the boot part).
If you don't have a backup (I encourage you to make them in the future...):
You need to go to the forum post with the fixed prime 6.5 zip downloads. Download the ~1gb zip, unzip it, and grab the boot.img from there. Flash it in twrp by going to install, install image (bottom right). Choose boot. When the flash finishes, reboot to recovery and flash Magisk.

Sure thing. See you around!
Why would someone use Magisk instead of traditional root? Are there some apps that you need to use that won't work on the rooted phone? I guess that there are a few, like snap chat and maybe Netflix but I don't use those on the Blu R1 HD.
I followed Colton's original root thread and while he, at first, included Magisk, he later advised switching to the non-Magisk root and I did. What would I gain by switching back to Magisk?

I wanted to use systemless xposed framework because the official version is not supported on my device. Also I wanted to use the modules that are specifically for magisk

Systemless xposed does not work either found this out earlier today device would not boot after installation of xposed through magisk
Ah, that would be a problem for me. I wouldn't want to use a phone without xposed. I have to have all the tweaking and customizations available in gravitybox and a few other modules.
So what will you do now? Give up xposed or Magisk? Or try to find or wait for a version of xposed that works on Magish?
It was a long time ago, but I think I remember running into problems running xposed on Magisk and Colton provided some helpful advice in his original thread about reflashing the rom, getting root, then installing xposed - he had seperate threads for those.

The best way to install Xposed is via Magisk.
Unroot your device completely by flashing the stock firmware or just the boot image then flash Magisk.
Open Magisk manager and install the Xposed module.
Nothing else required. All without affecting system or permanently breaking anything. It's as simple as removing the module to revert.

You don't need to decide. The latest version is dynamic and will install the correct version.

Updating Magisk version

First of all, I have very limited android experience but I need too root my phone for the functionality of an app that's critical to my business. Anyways, I'm running a Moto x4 with Pie. I already installed magisk 17.3 and magisk manager 6.0.1 using twrp recovery following a tutorial on youtube. When opening the magisk manager, it asked me to update to 7.1.1, which I did. Then it told me that I needed at least v18.0 magisk to be able to run the new magisk manager. Am I able to update magisk by flashing the new zip version in twrp, or is another method required since a prior version is already installed? Is this how I would install all future versions of magisk that comes out? Is there anything that I should know before flashing? I really don't want to get stuck in a boot loop or brick the phone.... Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

You can update it from Magisk and as well as from TWRP...

First of all: backup! Then you can bootloop, brick (or not!) with no worries. Do it with twrp.
Download latest (beta) Magisk 19.0, flash it under twrp and be happy.
Just to add to the above....
Since you're already rooted you don't have to flash the zip in TWRP. Just go to the Magisk Manager Modules section, click the "+"-button and select the Magisk zip. When it's done, reboot and you're updated.

You could of course uninstall the incompatible Manager and reinstall the one that works with your Magisk version.
But, that's now besides the point.
A day when you learn something new is a good day. :good:
If you want to learn more, here's a trivia [emoji14]
Also install "Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode (mm)" module. Not promoting it, but I myself feel it's a good module that you need to have before playing with Magisk Modules
It allows you to manage Magisk Modules from TWRP itself. So next time you run into a bootloop, you know what to do

Xposed for Android 8- help needed

Hello guys I recently rooted my xz premium dual sim and I currently have Magisk 22.1, I'm not an expert so
I need help please, what are a proper direct way to get xposed working properly on Android 8.0 ROM?
I mainly need to install XPrivacy, I tried to install EDXposed but it failed though and I'm not sure what to do
Thanks in advance
Since you need to install this with Magisk, do this:
Donwload the attached files
be sure to install the Xposed Magisk apk file first and open it it will show, thats it's not installed
then go to magisk and flash the xposed framework zip
and reboot
then (after your device is completely started with magisk and xposed) go to magisk, and check if the module's enabled. If it's NOT enabled, flash the zip again. If it's enabled, open xposed installer and check. (it's still not fully installed) and then there comes a message, that it's installed, but not really.
For the last step you need a custom recovery (like twrp or something)
Boot into your custom recovery and flash the xposed zip there (again)
Reboot and enjoy.
Another (way simpler) method would be to download it from magisk manager (if you have a older version) online repo.
I attached the Magisk version (with working repo)
In case xposed is installed but remains not active (yellow triangle instead of a green checkmark in the xposed installer app) follow the instructions of post #2 and don't worry you don't have to be an expert for this fix its fairly easy
Magisk + Xposed Framework is installed, but not active (XposedBridge.jar lacking)
Hi, new member here, who happened to lurk into XDA a few times in the past, and finally decided to register, hoping finding someone that would be able to help with my problem. I have Nexus 7 (2012), which became unusable with Android Lollipop...
