25.2 upgrade error (mine) - Magisk

In 25.1, I'd enabled zygisk and used magiskhide then frozen the renamed magisk app using SDmaid in order to use banking app.
I upgraded to 25.2 via twrp but couldn't see the magisk app as it was frozen. At this point SD maid had lost root so I couldn't unfreeze the old app.
I installed the latest APK but it doesn't think magisk is installed and the only option given is to patch boot IMG which seems pointless as magisk 25.2 already flashed using recovery successfully (result 1.000).
Any ideas most welcome. Would prefer not to wipe data as a few of my apps need special manual verification by their support team each time they're installed which is cumbersome.

[BUG] Magisk refuses to install modules from repo (The zip is not a Magisk Module!)

I've had magisk installed since version 6, I've published some magisk modules already and never had a problem until today.
After a full clean reinstall of Nougat NBD90Z (with wipe) on my Nexus 6 and then flashing Magisk, phh's superuser for magisk, installing phh's superuser apk from play store and magisk manager apk I stumbled upon a previously reported (without details) bug where magisk manager would refuse to install modules from repo claiming they are not magisk modules.
I've struggled trying everything I could including the full wipe (more details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-app-systemizer-t3477512/69230448#69230448) and bounced some ideas off @pnwsr6 who's had the similar problem on Nexus 6 device.
I've achieved a partially working Magisk Manager (manual installs of ZIP files work, but installs from repo still fail) and here's the list of steps which lead to me having semi-working magisk manager again:
1. I flashed ZIP files of some modules in twrp (I'm attaching App Systemizer and Nexus 6 LED Enabler which I flashed)
2. After the phone booted up I saw the modules active and working
3. Within Magisk Manager I then added the ZIP file of the phh's superuser module from that thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3893967&d=1475554052)
4. Now at least manual installation of modules within Magisk Manager are working fine.
@topjohnwu -- I've enabled verbose logging and extra logging for bash commands, but I'm still not seeing anything in the log on top of the regular output.
Created an issue against Magisk Manager so it's easier to track for developers: https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/issues/20
Looks like that even after flashing some modules in twrp, Magisk Manager only allows to install from zip only exactly the same ZIP I've already flashed (even a minor change and bump of versionCode results in "This ZIP is not a Magisk Module!"). So it might be an issue of Magisk Manager being unable to write to /magisk despite having storage permission and being granted root access.
Well, it works now (you'll have to wipe again). So here's the sequence of events:
1. Flashed @RatchetPanda's busybox http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3850579&d=1471875389 from twrp -- got stuck on a boot animation, rebooted again in twrp, flashed magisk uninstall and it didn't help for some reason.
2. So I force-rebooted into fastboot and flashed nbd90z with wipe.
3. After apps were restored and everything was set up, I booted into twrp (it didn't even ask me if I want to allow /system modifications for some reason), added magisk v8 and phh's r259 root to the list, flashed them both.
4. Once the phone booted I could again install modules from repo/zips.
Maybe something didn't get properly wiped first two times but it's working now @pnwsr6!
I've seen this error as well on my Nexus 6 NBD90Z with Magisk v8. Started with v7 after some heavy modification on my part .
I was sometimes able to fix it by simply extracting the zip and then Magisk Manager would somehow recognize it as a module.. Other times I could extract the zip and then re-archive the contents and Magisk Manager would recognize that as a module. Weird, but doable.

I probably won't try again until next update, and hope the wipe just wasn't clearing something. I have the zip installed through twrp and working for now so I'm good till then.
just wondering if you're still having this issue with v9? I had modules installed fine under v6, but never really installed any modules under v8 to see if this problem occurred for me. now that I'm on v9, which has been wiped clean to start, I can no longer install any modules via Downloads or in the Modules section... any suggestions?
I have the same issue when trying to install viper with v9 on Nexus 6P DP2

Same here. Find a fix ?
From what I hear, ZIP/module management has been reworked in the upcoming magisk v10, so unless you want to go the route I went thru, you can just wait for that.

Just an FYI, I do still have this problem, but can install the zip through twrp. Maybe 10 will be the solution.
I had the same problem, I cleared magisk manager data and it works fine now
Didn't help

I've published snapshot builds of magisk v10 and magisk manager v2.6, try these together to see if they'd help.

I need a Help to download modules using magisk
Lastest version, Included phh root, manager is from G. play,
But Modules download function is not working
Say "No modules found" for download to install via magisk.

Titanium Backup + phh superuser

This all started because I have been trying to get the Directv Now app to work with root. I started by wiping completely and then loaded the newest firmware then flashed twrp recovery. Then Magisk v9 then phh superuser r266-2. Installed Magisk manager and ph superuser app and then flashed systemless xposed and installed the app as well. And then turned on magisk hide and selected directv now and superuser and rebooted. I finally have directv now working!! But I am running into an issue with titianium backup saying your su binary is functional but might not work. tried to uninstall apps and it says successful but upon reboot its still there. I think I just need to update the binary but phh superuser does not have that option. Any Ideas?

The root permission request is no longer displayed

I have the root with Magisk in Android 8.0. At first, the warning always came out asking if you wanted to grant root rights to the application that you just opened. However, this warning is no longer displayed, even though the configuration of Magisk Manager is configured in this way.
In the Magus Superuser section, I do not see any trace of the applications that I can not 'root'.
I have updated Magisk Manager, but the error continues. I also removed BusyBox, but the error continues.
I can not give root permission to any other application. But the mobile is rooted, since the first applications that I installed that require root continue to function normally. I can even deactivate the root and then activate it again.
Reinstalling the applications is not solved. With Dalvik and Caché wipe either.
That could be happening? How is it solved?
____
Magisk Manager has all the permissions of everything (memory, background, manual battery mode). I have tried to reinstall Magisk Manager and nothing.
Deactivating BusyBox (Magisk module) and Xposed and restarting still does not work.
Returning to install the Magisk image by TWRP or Fastboot is not fixed either.
I have removed all the fret that I had done to the phone (BusyBox, Xposed, root Magisk and boot modified for the root) and the problem has not been solved. I do not know what may be happening. I do not have other rare applications.
I have installed Device Control and the TWRP application. I have not gotten the root request to skip (although it has activated that option in Magisk Manager).
Definitely, it is not the fault of the new applications, which was the first question I wanted to solve.
Magisk version:
19.3 (19300)
And from Manager 7.2.0 (213), although I have also tried 7.3.2 (224).
The root is done with patching (via Magisk) of RAMDISK.IMG.
I understand that some applications are not compatible with systemless. But I'm not going any of the new ones that I'm trying. Interestingly, other applications compatible with Magisk (except those that installed the first days of the mobile) do not work either.
I have installed Magisk Manager 7.0.0 (and also 6.1.0), but the bug is still there. It seems that it does not depend on the APK.
As my Magisk file to root consists of a patch of RAMDISK.IMG created directly from Magisk Manager I do not know how to create one based on a lower version (for example, version 18.1). It only gives me the option to patch with the latest Magisk Manager version (if I have a lower one, it asks me to update the APK).
Whenever I generate the IMG of my patched RAMDISK.img it is based on 19.3.
How could I generate a patched IMG based on a lower version?
I have microG, not the GApps. Could that influence? Does Magisk need them?

updating Magisk

Hallo to all experts. Root and Magisk Manager 6.x worked well. I tried to Update Magisk Manager to 7. Then Magisk was not recognized. Updating Magisk didn't Worked automatically within the App I had to Mark a File to be patched. I was afraid of doing that. So I installed via twrp. The onscreen Message said this Worked well. I wiped cash and davlik. After the Reboot the same; magisk Manager detekts magisk 19.3 not. Older versions of magisk Manager do neither.
Flashing First magisk 19.3 and then magisk Manager ja also without success.
Titanium backup don't work because it hast no permission (SU Not instslled)
Root Checker Tells it is not rooted
Other Apps don't Work because they detect root
My Device is a Samsung Galaxy S8
Any Ideas?
Update to Magisk Manager 7.2.3. didn't solve the Problem

Magisk Manager Hangs, but Root Still Achieved (LG H918, and Magisk 25.2)

Hi All,
Foolishly I decided to let Magisk Manager update itself. I was cautious about actually updating Magisk, because it bricked a similar phone a while back. Unfortunately, Magisk hung, so I tried several things:
Deleting the app cache (No effect)
Deleting Magisk Manager data (No effect)
Using the Settings app, I uninstalled Magisk (probably a mistake, but Magisk would not run) (It was gone.)
Installed Magisk 20.0 from zip (Nothing showed up)
Installed Magisk 16 from zip (It appeared and the manager ran, but no root)
Installed Magisk 25.2 (Magisk hangs, but I have root again)
This is where I am stuck. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rob
Hi, i had the same issue and reinstalled manager 23....
