Stuck after update - Magisk

Device: SM-N950F
Android version: 9
Magisk version name: com.topjohnwu.magisk
Magisk version code: 22,1 (22100)
Well I believe this is an alien thing going on.
Magisk was working fine.
I just had a notification to update Magisk in the notifications bar.
I simply accepted, something showed downloading and then nothing happened.
So I just then went to check Magisk. I opened it and I chose to install latest 22.1 (22100) (20) App.
Well it downloads, I install it succesfully but then Magisk manager (already hidden and renamed) doesn't open.
It just shows a message "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?" I press OK , it downloads for some seconds something and then it shows a toast message "Please manually re-launch the app".
I re-launch Magisk Manager and get again "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?"...
A continuous loop in other words with no successful outcome.
Now:
Some apps that require root still work
A banking app is still working, another sees rooted and stops
Rootchecker app shows "root access is not properly installed"
Root check app shows "rooted"
In other words a big fat mess!
I strongly fear that If I reboot the device I will lose all remaning root capabilities. Correct???
I think of flashing with TWRP "Magick 22.zip" but then this may mean fresh rooting and ALL data will be lost. Correct???
Thank you all in advance, God bless you!

No reply! Smells bad!!

Can you uninstall magisk?
Then try to use TWRP to install Magick 22.zip

I can uninstall only through Titanium Backup since Magisk Manager isn't working.
I also wonder if I will lose data after uninstalling and flashing Magisk 22.zip

I know that it is always safe to backup data but I also know how time consuming is to bring phone to earlier state...

that's not official Magisk website the only official is the github page https://www.xda-developers.com/psa-magiskmanager-com-not-official-website-magisk/

Today I will restart device.
Fingers crossed (nandroid backup + all data of SD card to PC + TitaniumBackup)!

I restarted it today.
It loaded OK and some banking app that was seeing root now just works fine.
Magisk Manager still doesn't open and I am worried to flash Magisk22.zip because I may lose data and can't handle the hassle to restore all settings etc.
Very weird situation.

Magisk Manager keeps stopping. I opened it today and I got the message "Magisk Manager has stopped, open app again" I can't open it without it crashing. I've tried clearing cache, clearing data, reinstalling the APK. What do I do? This is a very big problem as i cannot run any rooted apps without getting the message that magisk has stopped.
Logcat (use ADB)?

When you say you've uninstalled and reinstalled, are you talking about Magisk or the Magisk Manager? I'm talking about completely uninstalling Magisk by using the uninstall zip.
And what about that logcat?
I've got a similar problem. Mgisk Manager keeps crashing, but If I'm not connected to the internet the APP runs fine,

Likely caused by a bug with checking the Magisk repo. It's been fixed but not yet released.
Clear Repo Cache
Disconnect from internet, go to settings and clear the repo cache helped me to open it again

I am facing the same issue. Magisk Manager crashes as soon as I open it (precisely within 3-5 sec of opening the app). Though the root is working perfectly and all apps requiring root behave as intended.
I am attaching a magisk log taken from the magisk manager within the 3-5 seconds window.
Kindly let me know if it's the correct log. I am a noob and still learning the intricacies.
Any help/guidance will be greatly appreciated
Magisk Manager works for me when I wait for a few seconds after opening the app. Cool Tool shows high CPU activity right after starting MM. Once the CPU idles again, MM works without crashing.
This is not a fix, but it may help until a new version gets released.

Great! Thanks a lot.
For those of you that remain stuck on this issue: Magisk Manger doesn't like being used from an external SD card. If that is the case (see app menu) move it back to internal memory. It will work properly then.

After flashing new LineageOS + Magisk.zip and installing the Magisk Manager Apk, the app is also crashing with no internet connection for me. But if I make airplane mode on, then it does work for me.
Magisk not opening or crashing again and again.
First of all desable or uninstall your superuser app and then open magisk manager app again it's very simple. When you done all of magisk installation then you can again activate or install your superuser app.
If it is not working then please tell me i can help you.
Nexus 6, 7.1.1, Magisk root - Google play and Magisk Crashing
Making a long story as sort as I can my Nexus 6 running Magisk to hide the root from Google play, and a stock 7.1.1 ( 7.1.1 (N6F27M, Oct 2017 if it matters) google image, was working flawlessly a couple years ago when I stopped using it.
A few weeks ago I turned it on, clicked Google play and it never opens. Just hangs on the app loading screen unless I disconnect the internet from it. I read somewhere that this may be an issue from something that Google implemented since then In there play services to detect root.
Connected to the internet (WiFi) I opened Magisk and was able to update the Manager app before it quickly crashed. I opened it again and there seems to be a Magisk update but app crashes too fast for me to click update.
What is going on here and/or how do I fix this?

[HELP] Hide Magisk Manager (Repackage) upgrades the version over the internet

I have my Samsung A30 (SM-A305F) rooted with magisk canery (87de0e7a) by flashing patched boot img via odin. Now, If i try to hide magisk with random package , it demands internet connection and install the latest version (9348c5ba). BUT i don't want to upgrade as the updated version has weird bug of rejecting SU automatically (with a very brief pop-up). I then need to ---> uninstall the repackaged app ---> Reboot ---> install 87de0e7a version ---> then it become functional again. I don't have TWRP installed. Re-flashing new patched boot requires wiping data. i don't want to do factory reset
Now I want to hide magisk as PUBG MOBILE might be crashing due to root detection. Please help me achieve solution:
(1) hide magisk manager without updating
(2) update magisk manager without that BUG of rejecting SU automatically
1 - Hide the Manager and let it update fully, no way around that. Then replace /data/user_de/0/com.H3.nuhw6UY.GoCgl/dyn/current.apk with the apk of whatever Manager version it is you want to use (and don't forget to set the same permissions and owner).
Edit: replace the package name above with the one your Manager uses.
2 - Seems to be a similar issue reported here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2944
If there's anything to be done about it, it will be eventually.
If you can get some proper logs showing the su rejection and add to the above linked issue that would be great.
Note: i previously managed to hide it successfully when there was no newer version. It would just download the same version from the internet and repackage itself with random package name. But some days ago, i restored original manager and now i can't get it to hide.

Thanks for replying. I followed our steps (com.mkhirsnpiw.z.kkt was used instead of com.H3.nuhw6UY.GoCgl). But it again says the same thing, "Upgrade to full magisk to finish the setup. Download and install?". Clicking ok upgrades it again

Did you place the new current.apk file in the same directory and give it the proper permissions (same owner and permission 600)? I just tested and had no issues downgrading the hidden Manager to 285 this way.

yes with MiXplorer.
When Manager updated itself , i tried to update the magisk ( not the manager). But it bricked my phone as it won't start. i had to flash stock firmware via odin. It happened what i feared about. Now, i will try to patch boot img with new version.
UPDATE: I patched and flashed boot img using canary 290. after rebooting , this time there was not that Bug of rejecting SU automatically. Root was functional. But when it asked to do additional setups, it was stuck on setup operation forever and when i tried to hide manager, it showed "hiding magisk manager failed". so i uninstalled canary 290 and installed 7.5.1 (267) . This time additional setup was completed and rebooted automatically. But there was some problem with su access. so i uninstalled 7.5.1 (267) and installed canary 290. Root is now functional and it does not ask for additional setup anymore. (meaning setup was complete?). But still shows "hiding magisk manager failed" when try to hide manager. I don't know what is the problem . I was using canary 284 without any problem. PUBG mobile was runnig without problem. Now I am tired......

I suggest you update to a more recent Magisk release instead of trying to troubleshoot further...

The reality is that I'm trying not to mess a lot with these just to be safe!
OK so If I got it correctly, i should do these steps:
select uninstall from magisk manager app,
reboot
and then "Patch the boot (Kernel) image via Magisk" as described in Stage 6 of the link?
any precautions and measures that i should take in order to avoid or minimize failure?

No matter how you choose to update, there's always a risk of failure. Only way to minimise any damages is to make sure you have a backup of any important data before updating.
You should be able to do a direct update in the Magisk app (but since you're jumping a few versions it's a very good idea to have that backup ready). Only thing to mind is that the update to v22+ requires you to not have the Magisk app repackaged with a random name, so make sure you've restored that before updating. This should be the easiest way of doing things...
If you're on the Canary channel (since you have a Canary release installed now), keep in mind that the current Canary (23014) has some major changes from previous Magisk versions. The Hide list has been replaced with a Deny list and there's now a new feature: Zygisk (it's very similar to Riru, if you know that that is). If you're not ready for those kind of changes yet, make sure to be on the stable update channel...
If you don't want to do a direct update the linked guide should work.

If that patched file is from an earlier release of Magisk, and you want to use that version, it's probably best to uninstall Magisk and flash that.
If you want a newer release you can either just choose the stable update channel and do a direct update to v22.1 (you'll be able to update to v23 after that), or you can download the v21.4 zip from GitHub and install that zip from the module section of the Magisk app.
You've got many options. Only you can decide what's best for you...

When i select uninstall i get two options "restore images" and "complete uninstall" what should i choose in order to keep my data?
If i go with the direct update to v22.1, then will i have to flash something? this is "safer"?

No worries.
To avoid incompatibilities between different Magisk versions you'd have to do a complete uninstall. If you do the direct update you don't have to do anything else then pick "Update" in the Magisk app and then "Direct install".
To say if one or the other is safer is hard to say since there quite a few variables that come into play. Doing an uninstall might cause issues if you've previously disabled encryption, as an example. On the other hand there might also be issues when doing a direct install.
Personally I would go for a direct install, but make sure that I have my firmware's/ROM's unpatched boot image at hand so I can install that and get my device up and running again without any further damage (hopefully). Magisk only alerts the boot image (or in some cases recovery image), which makes it very safe and easy to revert if there are problems. You rarely end up with an irreparable loss unless you start trying to fix stuff without actually knowing what you're doing.

I made it!
I finally went with direct install as it appears to be less disruptive, first it updated the app, then I selected "direct install (recommended)". Afterwards it started to patch ramdisk, repacked and flashed the image. One reboot later and the root status is back! I really missed my adblock!!!
thank you for your help!

Magisk appears to be installed but no root

Hi
I have magisk installed but my phone is reporting not rooted.
My setup:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Ressurection remix
Magisk 23.0
Things I've tried:
Disabled battery optimisation for magisk app
Reinstalled magisk a couple of times from twrp
Other root requiring apps (no change)
I've attached the logs from Root Checker, magisk and snip of my magisk. Please let me know if there is more info I can provide.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Okay so I went to Git and downloaded this file https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk I then renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP. Is this correct?
When I reboot I find the same situation. Magisk appears installed correctly however no app can access root. No popup appears to accept/reject the su request and apps behave as if no root access. I've tried Root Checker, Titanium Backup and am happy to try any others.
Do you have any suggestions please on what else I can try?
Cheers
ara
Ah... So the problem is not that you do not have root access The problem is that there's no superuser prompt when an app requests root.
IIRC there's a Xiaomi settings to allow apps to display popup messages (should be under app permissions). The Magisk app also need to be allowed to auto start. Of course, this is for MIUI and you're using RR so I have no idea if there is such a setting on your device currently...
Could of course be something completely different though.

Yes I suspect this is the issue - the notification is being blocked somehow.
Under app settings -> Magisk, I believe the settings are right:
Battery optimisation = off
Notifications = all allowed
There are plenty of guides out there of using RR with Magisk and no mention of any special settings to make it work.
I am also using nova launcher, I wonder if this could affect the notification somehow?
All suggestions welcome!
Cheers

I noticed in Magisk under the Superuser tab, it just says "no app has asked for superuser permission yet." So perhaps not a notification issue after all?
I downloaded another app, "root checker basic". It also generated no popup, said I do not have root, and nothing appeared in the Magisk logs.
I feel like I am doing something wrong here but missing what it is.

One thought: make sure that nothing is restricting the Magisk app from autostarting and running in the background.
Also, have you checked with other users of your ROM? Might be a good place to get help for stuff like this...
This happened to me before. I had to rename the same zip to "uninstall.zip" and flash it, reboot, and then rename the zip to something else like Magisk.zip and flash again.

extract the boot.img and copy to phone. in Magisk, install and pick boot.img. copy the result file to pc, and flash using fastboot flash boot magi....img
if unlocked bootloader, flash direct and reboot.

Hi
I have magisk installed but my phone is reporting not rooted.
My setup:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Ressurection remix
Magisk 23.0
Things I've tried:
Disabled battery optimisation for magisk app
Reinstalled magisk a couple of times from twrp
Other root requiring apps (no change)
I've attached the logs from Root Checker, magisk and snip of my magisk. Please let me know if there is more info I can provide.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Rename the file to uninstall.zip then flash the firmware then flash the magisk it will work for sure i was also facing the same problem

Magisk Manager shows "Modules" and "Superuser" grayed out

First, I hope this thread is in the right place and apologize if it is not.
I currently have the problem that the Magisk Manager shows the two categories "Superuser" and "Modules" grayed out at the bottom. In addition, it is also so that the settings of the manager is slimmed down (fewer functions than usual). For this I have 2 screenshots ready: (see attachment and sorry for the German language).
Root itself is still there though (the apps that ask for root still do).
But can imagine that this happened because of the Magisk Hide app. Because I had hid the manager under a different app name, then either accidentally deleted it or restored the original package (can't remember).
In any case, I have already tried to install the manager with an SD card with the TWRP (did not work) and to install Magisk Manager via the apps themselves (pressed install in the first screenshot). This has come the following error message:
Code:
- Target image: /dev/block/
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing: 24.1 (24100)
! Unable to check signature
! Installation failed
My current status is that this has already happened once with the manager - judging by the bug reports on Github. Can someone please explain me in simple steps how to get this fixed? Thanks!

No need to bump, your post was only 7 posts down, and only one bump is permitted every 24 hours.
The issue is clear from your screenshots. You don't have root. On the Magisk screen, at the top under the Magisk section, if "Installed" shows "N/A", you do not have working root. Magisk is unable to load modules without root.

Sorry, didn't know that.
But I don't quite understand. Why should I have no root if apps like Lucky Patcher, Vanced Manager ask for root and I can verify these requests with the manager?

I'm not sure. I think you can still manage root permissions if you don't have root but I'm not 100% on that.
I suggest re-rooting with the prescribed method for your device. On the Pixels, we just re-patch and flash the boot image.
i hace the same problem in sm a70, the apps request root acces and i press yes and work but if the same app need request more times for example unloking network , the request are send again and again and again
I just took the leap into Android 12 and we t through the process of patching the boot img and flashing it. I have the same issue as the op. I have patched, repatched, and flashed and reflashed at least 4 or 5 times now. No change.
Edit to note that I do in fact have root, regardless of what Magisk says (installed - N/A). Apps like AdAway have root access and are working properly.
I had the same problem on my (very) old J7 (2015).
Am on android 7, and was trying to update Magisk from v24.3 to v25.1
I had to completely remove Magisk, and restarted from scratch.
Flashed the v25.1 apk in TWRP.
Same problem with Magisk 52.2 on my LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12L) installed on GT-N8000 (Samsung Note 10.1). I already tried re-root, re-flash, re-install apk and nothing!

Do you originally have magisk hidden as another app then install mm anew?

I'm not sure about it, but I tried a few versions of Magisk and none worked. I installed both boot.img and magisk.apk via TWRP. The app downloaded and installed by Android always forces an upgrade.

That's because you haveca newer boot than the magisk manager.
Let it upgrade
Then tap the uninstall button
Restore images
Then complete uninstall
Reboot
Install magisk
Reroot

I don't have an uninstall button. I put a print screen in the previous post.
Did you mean to post something if so you didn't
Not sure what to say about no uninstall but i guarantee that you have a double install. Look through your apps. Did you ever hide magisk with a different name, you've got to remember that at some time you did.

I removed the Magisk via TWRP by flashing it with the uninstall.zip file. After installing the Magisk via flash with the Magisk.zip file and rebooting the tablet, I patched my boot.img, went back to TWRP, flashed the boot.img selecting the boot option and rebooted. I went back to the Magisk app and the same problem. I checked via
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep magisk
and it returns only
Code:
package:com.topjohnwu.magisk
it suggests I have only 1 app installed (none hidden).
Then I'm out of ideas sorry
