Hello,
I just got my P10 (VTR-L29) yesterday, coming from a P8 Lite that I used to play a lot with and I already miss the adblock and the clean debloated system.
According to the new version of Magisk here, there is a new install method that works if you don't have a custom recovery like it used to be in the past. The new method modifies the boot.img via Magisk Manager, stores it in a folder and then you have to flash it with adb.
My question is: Do I have to unlock my phone in order to do that trick? Anyone else that tried something similar?
Nobody?
Maybe I'm not clear enough..
Steps to reproduce:
-install Magisk Manager 14 and use the inside app patcher
-find the patched boot.img on storage
-move the boot.img in PC storage
-use the PC in order to flash the patched boot.img
-reboot and wait
It's supposed to work that way but I don't want to unlock the bootloader,atleast for now.
Is it safe to do?
Xperias do not boot with the bootloader locked if boot.img is changed. I guess it will be the same for Huaweis.
So the only way to do that is to unlock the bootloader..seems like I have to do it lol.
Magisk v14 is working on my device. Unfotunately, i cannot pass safetynet. How about you guys?
Working but I Guess that You unlocked the bootloader,right?
You can try to use the universal safetynet fix, flash it in twrp and check.

Already tried that (the new one for v14). Unfortunately, it didn't work.
Thank you anyway

I had the same problem. Maybe my experience will help:
Open Magisk manager and check Log->Magisk. Are there any messages from MagiskHide? It should be.
Try this:
1. Open Magisk manager and disable Magisk hide.
2. Reboot
3. Open Magisk manager and enable Magisk hide.
I used commands in Terminal Emulator
Code:
su
magiskhide --disable
magiskhide --enable
At first it didn't work out but after a lot of desperate enabling/disabling and few reboots MagiskHide started to work (I couldn't determine the reason of its misbehaving).
For now I successfully pass SafetyNet checks.
I had rooted with superSU than switched to magisk root which is now updated to Magisk v15.2(Magisk Manager 5.5.3) and I have some problems
Every Modules I intall gives Installation error(magisk_merge.img merge failed)
tried flashing modules via recovery but not showing into magisk manager
safetynet check failed what to do?
can i install viper4android or ARISE sound system(cant install from magisk modules)
If anybody can help would be great
Odds are good you didn't remove su properly
flash the unSU zip file to uninstall superSU
doesnt work
Bro I have seen a app that doesn't support MagiskSU......but that app supports only magisk.......so how can I enable magisk only without enabling MagiskSU?????
Did you flash the magisk zip after patching SuperSU? I don't think you can have two layers of different root access. but once again i could be wrong.
Run magisk uninstaller is what i would suggest because magisk is useless without patching the boot file..
open for suggestions
Magisk is MagiskSU... You can't get one without the other.
Flashfire was abandoned a long time ago. It used to work with an older version of Magisk, but hasn't been updated in a long time and therefore no longer works with any current releases.
I've flashed recently CSC file and lost the root. I updated MAgisk app up to 25.1 version (not a zip file just apk) but still no root. I have flashed Magisk 25.1.zip file in TWRP recovery. Now the phone is rooted, but I unable to start Magisk app. It just stuck on the start (The Mask). I tried to uninstall Magisk app via Application manager, and reinstall it following by reboot. Still Magisk unable to start. I don't remember whether MAgisk was unhidden before the update and zip installation. What should I do next?
Should I rename the Magisk.apk to uninstall.zip and run this file in TWRP. Then install Magisk apk and install zip file from within Magisk App? If so, what the best way to install MAgisk App; via TWRP or File Manager?

Hi!
I have rooted Samsung S7 Edge with android 7. I currently have SuperSU v2.79 installed. I want to install Magisk because I want to hide root from certain apps. Should I remove SuperSu before I install Magisk?
Other question is that here https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/faq.html I read that Magisk no longer hides root because now the new way is to use Magisk modules. Do I even need Magisk at all or if I have TWRP 3.1.0.0 can this also be used to install those Magisk modules? Or would it be best to grab some older Magisk that has root hider there already?

yes u should, always use the latest one
Is it good enough to uninstall SuperSU app when android is running or should I reboot to TWRP and do some magic there?
