Update Magisk - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I have an older CLT-L29 laying around still on 8.1.0.157.
It is running Magisk 6.1.0(165) with Magisk manager 17.1. If I update the manager app then it asks me to update Magisk or it will not work. Can I just update Magisk directly from within the app - using direct install or can it cause some issues ?
Thanks.

Is magisk safe to use with android nougat (yet)?

Hello I am wondering if the newest Magisk version is safe to use with android 7.0/oos 4.0, has anyone tried it and got successful results?
Yes. Literally just need to flash the latest magisk as it has phh superuser included.
Install the magisk manager and the phh superuser both available from the playstore.

Magisk Manager "app not installed"

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'.

How to update pre-installed Magisk im custom rom

Hello
Recently i changed stock ROM on my HTC 10 Evo to debloated ROM with Magisk pre-installed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/bolt/development/rom-stock-ish-7-0-nougat-debloated-t3519195
Code:
Stock 7.0 Magisk Debloated/Deodexed + Mods
Whats Included:
Magisk Version 13.xx <- Passes Safety-net As of 8/19/17
Magisk Manager couldn't check updates or check safety net test so i decised to update it.
Downloader 7.3.1 Magisk Manager but couldn't update app so i uninstalled it and then tried to install the fresh one.
It ended up that the old one is gone and new downloaded app hangs while i try to i install it.
Could anyone tell me what to do?
Should i run uninstaller.zip in recovery and then install both Magisk and Magisk Manager?
I couldn't find updating guide for pre-installed Magisk anywhere...

Preinstallation doesn't change general rules. It's like the manual patching the bootloader so do exactely what you wrote. Uninstall it in custom recovery via uninstall.zip and then install any version of Magisk you want using the magisk.zip and manager.apk.

Thank you for help. Just wanted to make sure that I won't damage my rom. The uninstallation and then installation of newest Magisk went perfectly fine and the updated Magisk Manager were already in the drawer.
Internet connection in Magisk Manager is back and safety net test is passed.

Magisk update safe?

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.

Magisk Manager won't update Magisk?

Trying to update magisk via direct install using latest magisk manager v23 on rooted S10 on pie.

Install goes well according to this ^
But when I hit reboot, and then hold down power+bixby+vol-up to get back into root mode, it always gives this error when starting magisk app
View attachment 5351005
So the update fails every time.
Since Magisk Manager v23 wont even show the current magisk version- upon downgrading to MM 8.0.7, we see that it never upgraded magisk past 19.4 (19302)
Also the "additional setup" never completes when we try that from 8.0.7, fyi, and the Update button is greyed out too.

What is the next step to getting magisk 20.4+ working with a recent version of the app?
Thanks!
