how to switch from super su to magisk?

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.

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.

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

Magisk install on Pie

I have installed the latest pie stable on my op 3t. However it would never boot when installing with Magisk.
So for now I have installed it without Magisk and got it to work ok. However now I'm having same problem installing Magisk.
I can install and uninstall it from twrp latest, however when it's installed, it is just stuck on the initial screen with oneplus logo. And never makes it to the circle/dots screen.
I tried using 19. 2, 19.0 Magisk and 18.1.
Is there any logs I can pull or did anyone else have this issue?
Are there any other safe root solutions to try instead?
Any help would be appreciated

I always flash Magisk BEFORE the first boot. Also no custom kernels, especially not AFTER Magisk flash.
Is this what you did as well?

I couldn't get it to boot up before firstboot. So I went with normal nonroot flash so I could use the phone.
I figured it would not matter if I installed Magisk later.
I might try to reflash everything over again

Never had this problem until today. So I did some testing.
Magisk 19.1 causes it to get stuck at the OP logo.
I flashed uninstaller, reflashed the ROM, flashed Magisk 19.2 and it worked.
Are you using the 19.2 zip?

Yes, I had problems with 19.1 too, that the phone sometimes (if not always) would boot itself into fastboot mode instead of system, so at that time I moved temporarily to canary builds

I used this zip instead and it worked. Not sure what's different but I'm good now

Root and Bootloop problem fix [Tested on RMX1993EX]

I tried to root my device with this instruction: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2/how-to/root-howto-t4011357
But I don't installed Manager.apk first. That might cause. But I don't know cause clearly, device was in boot loop.
I tried flash vbmeta and boot etc. but hadn't got luck.
Finally successfully turned on with stock ROM and then installed custom ROM and rooted.
My model is Euro RMX1993(EX)
Here is the what I did:
1. Installed Fastboot flashable ROM with fastboot.
2. Downloaded RMX1993EX_11.C.05 from https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update and installed it with TWRP
3. Cleaned cache/Dalwik, Format and Rebooted to system. Finally it's successfully booted up. :victory:
Then I installed Lineage OS with instruction step by step. After turned up phone I downloaded and installed Magisk manger apk from
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/manager-v7.5.1
Then I rebooted to TWRP recovery again and installed Magisk zip.
Then directly rebooted to System. This time it's booted and root was success. Didn't installed touched vbmeta etc.
I hope it might help someone. It was very long road about 24 hours for me.
Update:
I reinstalled stock ROM and installed apk before flashed twrp &vbmeta. This time it's worked and finally I successfully rooted stock ROM.

Didn´t faced this like you. I installed LOS from RUI and Magisk on the guided way without issues (I have RMX1993 also). What´s your ctsProfile status in magisk? False or true?

Now it's working well. How could I show ctsProfile. I tried terminal emulator and su to get root access. Then did props command. But it doesn't seem to there.

In Magisk Manager you have to "Tap to start SafetyNet check".

Oh I see. Thanks. It's ctsProfile: true. (Now I'm on stock rom with root)

I don't have RMX1993(EX) anymore. But below might help you.
If you are on ColorOS (Android 9) or RUI1 (Android 10) then you can directly follow the bootloader unlock tutorials on the internet. But if you are on RUI2 (Android 11) then you need to downgrade to RUI1 first.
I also did the same procedure.
But below is for RMX1901CN Realme X device procedure. I believe it would give you a hint.
1. I found Rollback_RMX1901_11_OTA_1190_all_EyyIUd8KYxPI.ozip (for Chinese version) firmware from Realme X Official Telegram group.
2. Then I opened it from the file manager and the device rebooted automatically and the downgrade firmware was installed. After that, I unlocked it with the DeepTesting app for RUI1 with instructions that I found on the internet.
Also, you might try this method: https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1476520599785316352
Also, comments on this post might help (I have no idea Realme X2 Pro instruction is works for your device but JFYI): https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1478098096796815360
