Help - Systemless Root

Hello,
First off, I am using a Oneplus 5 device running 7.1.1 Nougat.
I followed this guide to root my phone with Magisk 13.2 https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
I am able to download apps that require root, and grant them said root access.
However when trying to give AdAway Systemless root access (In preferences) the checkbox is greyed out and unusable.
So far so bad.
When trying to install BusyBox, and try to select a different install path (/su/xbin or /su/bin) I get the error message : "Systemless root is not configured, please choose another install location"
If I go into Magisk Manager both BusyBox and AdAway are Granted Root access, and when checking settings, Hosts Systemless is activated.
Am I simply blind and have I missed a step? On the Magisk Manager Homescreen, it says I have the latest version installed, and MAGIKSU is also validated.
Help please? I'm confused. D:

For AdAway you shouldn't have to bother with the systemless option. Just enable Systemless hosts in the Magisk Manager.
You could also use a Magisk module. There's a great one called Unified Hosts Adblocker. Unfortunately there's a bug in the Manager at the moment that makes it crash when downloading modules. They can be installed manually though (there's a download in the thread).
For busybox you've got a great installer here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421
It'll install as a Magisk module when flashed in recovery.

Hello,
I've followed your suggestion and manually installed Unified Hosts Adblocker. I'm assuming it will update on it's own when required? As it has no interface. (Also, I am still getting ads, is this normal? xD)
So installing AdAway won't trigger SafetyNet as long as I have "Hosts Systemless" checked right?
I have also flashed the BusyBox installer from the link you gave me. It shows up on Magisk Modules, however it hasn't created a busybox icon in my applist. (Again, no interface? Is this installed correctly?)
Furthermore, I've looked around a bit, and is it true I currently can not expect to run Xposed Framework on Nougat?
Thank you for your current answers, in the hopes of further ones.

With the hosts module you'll have to run it manually. Use a terminal emulator and type su followed by hosts and then follow the instructions. The m option is included in all the others... Don't forget to enable systemless hosts or it won't work. More about how you use the module in the thread.
There's no interface for the busybox installation, no. There's no need really...

Oh yeah. No Xposed for Nougat.

Thanks for your help, it's been of great assistance and sets my mind to rest that nothing really went wrong with my installation of Magisk. I'll keep an eye out for the Manager updates that'll fix the downloads.
I was once again just wondering about the updating of busybox, but I'll just assume that if I get a "Update busybox" from any app, I'll come back to the post you directed me to and update it that way.
You didn't answer my pondering about Xposed, but once again I'll just assume what I found is true and the developer currently hasn't had time to update it yet, and it may take a while.
Thank you for your time and the peace of mind you've procured me.

Oreo Magisk + Xposed no modules showing up after reboot

I installed xposed through magisk and everything worked fine, I installed modules and they worked, but after a reboot the modules list in xposed is suddenly empty. in xposed I get the following log:
Code:
Unable to open /vendor/framework/oat/arm to prepare apps for Xposed: Permission denied
Unable to open /vendor/framework/oat/arm64 to prepare apps for Xposed: Permission denied
I was wondering if anyone else is using xposed and got similar errors, or even has a solution?
Edit: Turns out the cause was a (self made, very old) xposed module that somehow broke all the others - removing this fixed it.

@Abomb - Just curious, are you running Xposed on Oreo or Nougat? - TIA

I'm running Xposed on Oreo (through magisk)

@Abomb i'm using Oreo V 11.0 based Rom & Unable to install Xposed Module with Riru V 23.3 By Rikka
My device Poco f1 8GB 256 GB i install google pixel experience rom via twrp but i can't install xposed module

Magisk is not installed (v18.1), and Manager denied superuser rights

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Magisk 18.1. When I open Magisk Manager, I see the "Magisk is not installed" error message with the X in a red circle. However, Magisk Manager is up to date. I also get toast messages that say that "Manager was denied superuser rights". However, I'm able to get root in adb shell and entering "su".
If I refresh Magisk Manager by pulling down and releasing, then the following message:
Code:
Requires Additional Setup
Your device needs additional setup for Magisk to work properly. It will download the Magisk setup zip, do you want to proceed now?
Choosing "YES" will produce a "Setup failed." toast message. However, I see that now, "Magisk is up to date".
Despite this, I don't see the full set of Magisk settings (such as Magisk Hide, etc). Also, if I kill the process and reopen Magisk, I will get the same error message again.
I've tried downloading the Magisk v18.1 zip file and reflashing it in TWRP, but still no go.
Device: Nexus 5X with Android 6.0.1
Magisk: v18.1 (18100)
Magisk Manager: v7.0.0

Reflash stock rom and try to reflash if not work wait an update or try to downgrade version

Sounds like you've ended up with two conflicting Magisk Managers installed (one repackaged, one not). Like this: https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Updating_from_v18.0_to_v18.1

Thanks! That was exactly it!

I'm running into the same problem. No dual install of manager, either.
Happens on a fresh from-scratch install of v18.1 on a Moto X Pure

Same here, clean install of v18.1 on Mi Max 3 (MIUI 10.2.1.0)

FWIW the problem still exists in v19, with it happening multiple times a day now in 19.3

error as well v20.3 on Pocophone, Download and Install zip..installation error

go to settings>apps>magisk manager>allow storage permission.

Magisk update installation failed
I'm also having same problem with the latest update v20.4. I tried installing via Magisk app but it failed. I also tried flashing through recovery but same response.

I also had a similar issue, on a wiped phone. Magisk manager showing magisk not installed. However, using su from adb brought up a superuser request dialogue. I granted it, it hung for a minute, then when I reopened magisk manager it showed that magisk was successfully installed.

Solution

Uninstalled the Magisk Manager, and possibly also the hidden Manager (named "Manager" or whatever name you gave it) with the generic Android icon? And if you uninstalled both of them, installed the apk again manually?

nothing worked - wiped fone and reinstalled - magisk up and running again

Madisk and Kali NetHunter

Hello, i have Oneplus5 with the latest updates and Android 10, also installed latest version of Magisk and Magisk Manager, so i decide to install nethunter, download modules directly from Magisk Manager - "KaliNethunter 8.2" and Wireless Firmware For Nethunter but nothing installed there was no KaliNethunter app after rebooting phone, why not can someone help?
I have also installed MagiskHide props and Busybox modules installed nothing else

no one can help?

The module install log and the Magisk log is a good piece of information to provide for anyone to be able to help.
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHelp

here is magisk log but i could not find nethunter module log where is it?

The module install log needs to be saved from the Manager module flash screen, right after you've installed the module.
The Magisk log looks normal (apart from the many unnecessary apps added to the Hide list), so the install log is our only likely source of info for what happened. From what I remember, that module installs the apk as a normal user app during install, so you could probably just grab the apk from the zip and install it manually.

here the log yes have done this like you said intall apk files and now will test it and update you

Yeah... There are a whole bunch of errors regarding selinux, the apk installation and trying to edit system files with /system read-only. Contacting the module creator might be your best bet, but looking at the Github repo it seems to be abandoned.

thank you will do

Has Google disabled Magisk?

I installed a new ROM on my tablet and couldn't get Magisk to work, so I restored the ROM I was using previously. But Magisk wasn't working in it anymore. In researching the problem, it seems that Google has not only removed Magisk Manager from the Play Store, but also found a way to keep previously installed Magisk from granting root privileges.

You don't get Magisk from the playstore but from the Magisk thread.

If you read my later post you'll see that I found that out and tried it. None of the versions work with the ROM based on Android 11. I have always just installed an the latest version Magisk.zip I happen to have handy and let it install Magisk Manager. Then I'd use Magisk Manager to update Magisk. That didn't work with the Android 11 ROM either. The update failed and the older version didn't root.
