I currently have installed Magisk v18.1 and Magisk Manager 7.1.2. Both have updates. I've read the forums and some people have reported boot loops and I just don't want to deal with any of that. So did anyone update to the latest Magisk and Magisk Manager with any problems? Did you just press the "update" button within Magisk Manager or did you have to modify/compile it somehow? Which one do I update first or do I update them both at the same time? Details are always appreciated. ?
I just used the zip file and updated it through TWRP and the Manager is just updated via an apk.
I don't have TWRP installed. At the time I rooted my RP2 there wasn't a proven way to install TWRP at least that I could find. Is there one now?
I'm just talking about installing the updates through Magisk. But having TWRP that could perform a nand and data backup would put me at ease. Where is the guide to install TWRP?
The arter97 kernel has it built in.

Hi there,
I had Magisk and the Magisk manager on my S8 but after installing the latest firmware for my S8 I can not install the Magisk.zip anymore. SU and TWRP are working fine though. Does anyone knows how get magisk again on my Phone?
I found it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/guide-magisk-troubleshooting-t3641417
With SuperSU, most of the times you can simply use the full unroot option in the SuperSU app and let it restore your stock boot image, alternatively use the full unroot option and then flash the stock boot image before installing Magisk.
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'.

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.

If it's in the manager app, I'm not sure how to do it because it says that I can't open it with anything <v18.0.

Good news! The flash has been successful. And I learned about NANDroid backups. Super helpful! Thanks for the help!!

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

Hello,
I flashed a stock ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 running Android 7.0.
Then I installed TWRP, and with that Magisk 19.3. All were installed successful, however after rebooting there was no Magisk Manager app, so I installed this myself.
When opening the Magisk Manager app it shows that Magisk has not been installed.. how can I fix this?
I've been trying for 10 hours now, I really need help.
Before flashing the ROM I had TWRP installed with SuperSU.

1. Uninstall Super SU
2. Uninstall Magisk from TWRP (using uninstall.zip)
3. Install Magisk.zip latest version in TWRP
4. Install Magisk Manager latest version using APK
Remember to use both latest versions of Magisk (zip and apk).
It should work for you.

The thing is, I did a full clean stock ROM install and there is no SuperSu app left on my device.
If I download the SuperSu APK now it says I don't have ROOT access and therefore I cannot uninstall SuperSu using the APK.
I have used Root Checker Basis (app) to check if there is a ROOT available, but it says ROOT access is not properly installed on this device.
Is it still possible for SuperSu to be installed on my device while I cannot see or find it? Even after a clean install?
Also, I believe 19.3 is the latest version of Magisk. I also tried 19.2, but I am having the same problem with that version.

I don't know what the smartphone you have but the best way is to get boot.img from stock firmware and then patch it via Magisk Manager (you can install it even if you don't have root). Then after boot.img is patched you can flash it instead of the standard boot.img (any method you are doing it now).
BTW: the latest version of Magisk is 19.4. Check it on Magisk repository.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (T825). I used a stock firmware from SamMobile (which exists of 5 times an .tar.md5 file) and flashed it on my device using Odin.
[EDIT] So here is what I did. Made a back-up using TWRP, and used that boot.img to patch in Magisk Manager.
Now I have a patched IMG file. But when I want to install it using TWRP I have to pick a partition and I am not sure which one to pick.
[EDIT] I tried installing it, and it was successful, yet shows the Magisk manager app that there is no ROOT available.
I guess I just need to start from the very beginning over again. Can you help me with that?
I have stock firmware .zip for my T825 from SamMobile which I can install using Odin.
I also have a working TWRP .zip file that works fine with that firmware on my device.
Other than that I'll need guidance because I keep screwing up :')
Your help is much appreciated
I did a factory reset, flashed TWRP, and installed Magisk using TWRP. After rebooting there was no Magisk Manager app (but it did install a TWRP app).
I installed the Manager app with a downloaded .apk (latest version) and it shows that Magisk is not installed.
So, I want to try patching my .img file using the manager app. The only problem is that I do not have an .img file, as I used . md5 files.
Can I make a back-up with TWRP and use the .img file from there?
I have a car Android device in which I am able to install magisk extracting boot.img and then patching it. I was having some problems and have reset, and now I am having some issues:
I flashed latest magisk and got bootloop, so I managed to install 20.2 version and it gives superuser access, but I can't install no modules (it seems to install them but they are not there after a reboot).
I think before the reset I had 20.4 installed, but I don't know how to update my version to 20.4, it always offers me latest version, which ends in bootloop. I don't have access to any custom recovery, so I think the only way to make it work is to update through a custom channel pointed to 20.4, but can't figure out how to set it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok, I realized a simpler way to do it: I downloaded 20.4 zip and flashed it through magisk. Now it works perfectly, but when I use Viper4android together with sygic, sygic crashes.
