I got a notification in Magisk Manager that there is an updated version of Magisk available. How do I update to the newest version? Do I have to patch a new boot.img and push that down to my phone? I didn't think it was possible to "in place" upgrade Magisk. I recall that not working on my previous Pixel at all.
Just update it in Magisk Manager. That works for my Pixel 5. I only patch the boot.img after doing the monthly security update.

Hi, I have the Magisk installed.
I would like to know if hiding root to any process you can update the android and not tell me that it is modified
How do I update Magisk? In the main topic it is advised to update Magisk using the Manager but that's not possible. I'm currently having Magisk Manager 6.0.1 with Magisk 17.3 installed. The Manager only asks to update itself to version 6.1. But that version directly crashes on start because there is no backwards compatibility with with Magisk < 18. Therefor I want to update using TWRP. My question is now if I can simply install the new version without uninstalling Magisk? Or do I have to uninstall Magisk first? If the latter, is it enough to restore the original bootloader or do I have to uninstall Magisk completely (and loosing all data in the progress)?
Thanks for your help.
Same question here, somebody please look into this.
Hi Devs, Community and all of Android's guy.
I have a OP5T and I have received the OTA update some weeks ago. I have already installed Magisk Manager by a Year, and in this I saw many updates. I generally delete all modules and the complete Magisk. After that, I update the System with the OTA and then install Magisk again (I also prefer it for a matter of order and cleanliness). Today, I have decided to unistall Magisk but both through the manager and through the file unistaller.zip it fails with a bootloop after the flash.
Has anyone a solution for this problem?
Or Is there a way for this version to install the ota without uninstalling magisk?
Thanks a lot!
same problem here
I have the Pixel 3XL with Android 9.
Magisk indicates Installed 19.3, latest 22.1
Magisk Manager indicates installed 7.3.2, latest 22.1
I'd like to bring Magisk up to date.
Are there any issues or special procedures for performing this update spanning several versions?
Is there a preferred order to update? Magisk first, then Magisk Manager? Or Manager first?
Is a reboot after each update?
It's always the Magisk app that gets updated first. And the reason why you see such a big jump in the app version is that from Magisk v22 the app and the base are no longer separate. It's all contained within the app. See the release notes for details:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/releases/22000.html
The reason why you don't see the latest version as v23 (the actual latest release) is that the update channel changed at that point and you won't see the v23 update before you update to v22.1. Rebooting in-between Magisk updates is a good idea. Updating the app all the way to v23 shouldn't be any issue though. You might encounter issues where the app won't recognise such an old Magisk version. I can't remember where the current breaking point is set...
Big update jumps always have the possibility of causing issues and sometimes a clean install might be necessary. But, in theory it should be fine. Just make sure to have a backup of anything important...
Hi everyone!
It's been about a year and a half since I first installed Magisk on my phone with TWRP and considering that I now noticed I'm getting SafenityNet API error, I wanted to update my Magisk to the latest version and install the Universal SafetyNet module as well to fix this issue.
I just have some questions regarding this:
I'm running Magisk Manager 7.5.1 & Magisk 20.4 repacked and with Magisk Hide, how can I update from Magisk 20.4 to Magisk 23? My phone shows 22.1 as the latest.
Before updating do I need to restore Magisk Manager to the original package and app names?
Will updating Magisk affect my already installed Modules or will they stay in effect?
I'm using a Xiaomi with Android 9 Pie and MIUI Global 11.0.5.0
Thanks in advance.

Maybe let Magisk Manager take you to v22.1, then you'll be one step away from v23.0 and hopefully at some point it becomes available. If upgrading to v22.1 succeeds you'll end up with one app that is Magisk SU and the manager all in one. I mention this in case you're wondering why Magisk Manager disappeared.
I don't understand what you mean about restoring Magisk Manager "to the original package and app names" but your modules should still work after upgrading. Worst case would be a module that didn't keep up with Magisk and isn't supported anymore.

Yes, you do. See the v22.0 release notes:

Ahh, the question makes sense now. I've never needed to conceal Magisk.

Thanks to both of you for the clarifications.
I will unhide/restore the manager and will install 22 before going onward to 23.
