Hi all!
So I recently bought a Cubot Max but cant get any Xposed Modules to work!
Specs:
Cubot Max
Android 6.0
FW v11
arm64
I got the zip and apk off the official thread and used the latest sdk23 arm64 version obviously.
I mainly need the modules "Youtube Adawy" and "Youtube background playback".
But for the sake of testing if the issue is a result of incompatibility I also installed the modules
"PinNotif" and "SlideBack".
None of them worked.
The UI of "SlideBack" seemd to work properly while the UI of Youtube Adaway said that the app was not actived, even tho i tried it several times.
The log file read "cannot read log/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/error.log: open failed: ENOENT" so i created the missing txt file and gave it - rw rw permissions.
Does anyone has a clue what causes this problem?

Exactly I am also facing the same problem.
Same here
Can we have a thread to get the Cubot Max working with Xposed? A 500+ page general thread is difficult to follow. Thanks!
Success!
I did it! This is what I did.
The problem is that there is a firmware error which affects a number of MTK6735 phones and stops Xposed from working. You have to install another module called grorkmod first, but this will not work if you have previously tried to install Xposed. So what I did was set the phone back to its initial state (after backing up data etc.).
1. Download the Custom TWRP and the Cubot Max official ROM from here:
mod edit: link removed
2. Unrar the official ROM, and, using SP Flash Tool, set to "Format and Download", Flash the ROM in full. You will now have an unrooted, untouched factory-set phone.
3. When I did this, the Firmware version (Build Number) was V04 — check this through your system settings as my phone originally arrived with Build Number V09. So, after unzipping the TWRP download, I had to use the older version of the Scatter file. So use SP Flash Tool again, and Flash TWRP and reboot the phone, you will have an unrooted phone but with TWRP installed. Do the usual stuff with becoming a developer and changing the necessary permissions.
4. Now you can transfer files to your phone's memory.
UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx,zip
grorkmod_v1.1+lite.zip
xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip
XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk
5. Boot to Recovery, and, from TWRP:
(a) Install UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx.zip but do not reboot.
(b) Clear Dalvik cache etc
(c) Install grorkmod do not reboot.
(d) Install xposed — this time reboot.
6. Run your file manager and attempt to install the .apk file. If you are diverted to give permission for this, change the settings and do it again.
Hope this helps.
Hi
Since PIE roms for santoni are available, some people, including me, can't root their santoni.
I don't know why.
Flash looks ok in recovery, but after reboot, Magisk Manager says that Magisk isn't installed.
I tried every solution found in forums here, but everytime, same result : "magisk isn't installed"...
So sad !
Could you guys (and girls) centralize here your solutions, step by step, from flash the rom to root it...
It would be so nice for helping desperate people...
I also tried SuperSU and am having the same problem. I've tried Magisk 17.1, 17.2 and the Canary build along with the newest SuperSU and the result is always the same. Flashes fine but Magisk Manager and SuperSU apps can't find root.
The weird thing is that Enpass always tells me that my device is rooted and that it's a security risk even though Magisk Manager can't find root.
Also, I'm positive Magisk is patching the ramdisk. The Uninstaller always finds a Magisk-patched image. I'm assuming something has to be happening during boot that's cancelling root.
Two things I don't understand :
- why some people, with same configuration, don't have root problem ?
- why, with same recovery, same flash method, root works with nougat/oreo rom, and doesn't work with pie...?
Just like that : do you think problem could come from the sd card ?
I'm using à 128 gb samsung sd-card. Maybe I should format it before trying again root ?
I'm not sure it's the problem, since I can flash all roms, but I could try...
Or flash Magisk from internal storage ?
Really desperate...
Hi,
I´m in the same situation like you.
Yesterday I made a new experience of that without solution:
- Backuped all
- Uninstalled magisk at twrp
- Installed santoni_twrp_silent 27_treble (recommended from dev to install havoc)
- Rebooted
- Formated data with factory reset
- Wiped vendor, cache, data... (everything)
- Installed havoc (version 2018-09-08)
- Rebooted
- Installed magisk at twrp
- Rebooted
Same issue like before...
If I try to install magisk on magisk manager I get the following log:
Copying image to cache
Device platform: arm64-v8a
Existing zip found
Extracting files
boot_patch.sh[73]: can't create /proc/self/fd/: Is a directory
MagiskBoot v17.1(17100) (by topjohnwu)
Boot Image Modification Tool
Parsing boot image: [/data/user_de/0/com.topjohnwu.magisk/install/boot.img]
No boot image magic found!
boot_patch.sh[91]: can't create /proc/self/fd/: Is a directory
boot_patch.sh[91]: can't create /proc/self/fd/: Is a directory!
Installation failed
It seems magisk can´t install correct in cause of failing permissions to create new directories. But why?
Edit:
I think there´s an old magisk information written in device system who has to removed manually, cause magisk uninstaller is not able to do

Ok, but I wiped AND format data of internal storage, same results.
Do you think I should format/wipe micro-sd too ?

I don´t think so. Well, if you like you can try, but I think it´s an internal problem, not an external
So,
I tried another wipe of internal storage, made a format data with recovery. Then I flashed another pie rom, then magisk. And after reboot : tada !! still not working...
try with version 16.6 of magisk
Great news, actually my magisk works on Pixys 2.1!
I installed this twrp:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RR-8WMNSQgx6QzQv5U4i-sST1Af42nrI/view
What I did:
Uninstalled old magisk, rebooted to twrp, installed magisk 17.2, rebooted, installed magisk manager 6.0 and it works.
The only thing is I didn´t rebooted until now, maybe it still works after next reboot or not...

I just tried this and it didn't work for me either. I tried multiple clean flashes, flashed MIUI then back to Pie and flashing things in different orders last night and nothing worked. I'm tired of messing with it. I don't know how to get logs without root. I've come to the conclusion that for now I either have Pie or root. Not both. lol
Me too. I stop trying every day a solution.
For the moment, no root for pie roms, so I keep staying with oreo roms (nice dot OS...) I can root.
Hope next builds of pie roms will accept to be rooted on our santoni...
You can try this:
1 Flash Magisk v 17.2, Reinica in fast boot mode, turn it off and turn the phone on again
2 Install Magiskmanager V6 APK, do not open and restart in recovery
3 Flash Magisk v 16.6 and ready...
It worked for me... important, do not update magisk... The root is lost again
Best regards
Thanks for your reply.
Did you have root trouble before trying your solution ?
yes, when installing Pie only. In oreo no, I tried it in havoc and pixys
Try OrangeFox recovery for flashing magisk.

That's what I've been using. Also tried TWRP. Neither worked for me. The flash always looks good with no errors but when I boot the ROM Magisk says it's not installed.
I just realize to make magisk work on pie roms i realize that i need dev miui firmware not stable miui firmware the file you need is named fw_santoni_miui_HM4XGlobal_8.9.20_3219de02e5_7.1.zip i not sure why stable firmware wont work on magisk.
i used OrangeFox Recovery Project R8.1 for recovery
1. install rom PixysOS 2.1 as normal (clean flash). Note: LineageOS 16.0 also works I have tested it
2. boot up os to make sure it that everything is working
3. then reboot back to recovery
4. flash firmware zip file named fw_santoni_miui_HM4XGlobal_8.9.20_3219de02e5_7.1
5. reboot to system making sure that it still boots in os
6. reboot back to recovery
7. flash magisk 17.2 beta i think magisk 17.1 also works
8. reboot up back to system
9. installl magisk manager apk
10. done
i just uplolad screenshot just to prove it

Sounds like a plan! I'll try it out when I get home from work and let you know how it goes!
Trying asap.

This post right here works, thank you so much
Hi guys,
I'll try to be short..
After a while, I whipped MIUI and Installed Pixel Experience Go on Redmi 4x. Everything was fine, until I tried to install Adaway and it showed me on Magisk Manager that the phone was not root (It was before that). I tried to install the new version 19 over 18.1, but it showed error on TWRP that there was an error installing the zip, because system was not mounted.
I tried to uninstall Magisk with the zip provided in github, and again some error occurred. Then I cleared cache and dalvick and rebooted, but I'm stuck on MI logo. I'm able to access TWRP and see all my files, but cannot boot into the system.
My mistake I did not make recovery or backup and now all my settings and apps (banking, pictures and so on) are about to be whipped.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Good evening All,
apologize in advance if this question has been already asked through the Forums, as I have been searched multiple times and spent some hours... ending almost in circle to the same articles.
HW: Samsung Galaxy Note 10+
AndroidOS: v9
Successfully rooted and installed Magisk v7.4.0 in 2019, via TWRP / Odin following this procedure:
How to Root Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+
In this tutorial, we will show you how to unlock the bootloader and then root Samsung Galaxy Note 10/Note 10+ using Magisk. This guide supports Exynos variants of the Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ with…
www.thecustomdroid.com
A couple of days ago had the "brilliant" idea to update Magisk Manager to latest available version v.23.0: successful via the Manager app itself.
Now, when opening the Manager I get a "Unsupported Magisk Version" error.
Tried to remove and reinstall the Manager application multiple times without success.
Tried to install Magisk via the application itself, obviously selecting "Recovery Mode" as no Ramdisk for the device, via following Methods:
Direct Install (Recommended)
Select and Patch a File
Via Method #1. the installation is [apparently] completed without errors / warnings, and as soon as reboot is performed I go back to above "Unsupported Magisk Version" problem.
Via Method #2. I have successfully patched the "recovery.img" file from device firmware, used in original installation, and saved on local MicroSD. I have not yet tried to install it via TWRP as I am concerned to brick the device, as no other spare device exists.
Current situation:
- - - -
Magisk
Installed N/A
Ramdisk No
A/B No
SAR Yes
App
Latest App 23.0 (23000)(21)
Installed App 23.0 (23000)

The vast majority of the articles found on XDA and via web search bring to fresh installation guidelines / procedures:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html [the MASTER one from the developer]
Install Magisk in Recovery and Root Android [No Ramdisk]
In this guide, we will show you how to install Magisk in the recovery partition and then root your Android device that doesn't have Ramdisk.
www.droidwin.com
Any input would be much appreciated.
Regards.
One more detail.
"root" privileges are still there, as I can boot into the rooted system with Magisk.
TitaniumBackup is working correctly - as example: I have previously tried to restore the previous Magisk Manager v7.4.0 version, but this did not achieve anything - I believe because of multiple "dependencies" and possible updated files / libraries across the filesystem.
Enriching this post, by proposing one of the following options:
#1.flash via TWRP the newest Magisk (yes, no "Manager" exists anymore) .apk
#2. flash via TWRP the patched "recovery.img"
open to your valuable suggestions.
Hello, I had a similar issue with my Note 10. It fixed itself by continuing to restart my phone and trying to turn on Magisk by holding down the Volume Up and power buttons at the same time.
The fourth time I tried Magisk finally worked.
