Hi all,
I initially rooted my nougat and i'd like to remove the root.
My understanding was with the root (17 me.phh supersu cm-su subind suinit) in order to remove it, I need to reflash the original boot image.
Like a numpty I didn't make a backup of it.
Is there anyway that anyone might have it somewhere and can share?
I installed the newest TWRP (decryption support) but would like a clean boot.img so when magisk and xposed are working I can do everything systemless.
Thanks in advance!!!

I have same build number. How I can help you
Download Nougat firmware and extract the boot from it
Ooh. Right! Hah. I'm an idiot.
I presume I can just flash via TWRP as well too.
Hi there fellows ! ^^
First of all, I want you all to know that I really am sorry if this is something that has been asked before. I tried, but couldn't find an answer by myself and I don't want to damage my phone again (I may have been waaaaay too hasty in the past...). So here goes.
I have a Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) which I rooted a while ago (two or three months ago maybe ? Can't remember for sure) by unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP from ADB, flashing the SuperSU zip file... You know, the usual thing. After that I went ahead and installed Xposed Framework, Busybox and several applications and modules which needed root like many of you I guess. Everything went fine. And still is, for the record.
Now I realize that I may have been living under a rock because I discovered very recently that not only SuperSU can be downloaded from the Play Store but also that there is Magisk, an open-source alternative with more functionnalities. Guess what ? I want it.
Soooo I did some research and read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 along with other articles here and there on the web and it seems that I'd just have to install some Magisk Manager app' from the Play Store... Is that really all there is to do ?!
I'm worried because it says "If you're already rooted with MagiskSU or Latest Official Systemless SuperSU". Yep, the "Systemless" part get me worried. While I do understand what it means, I can't help but wonder : since I installed SuperSU from a flashable zip file, is it Systemless ? How can I tell ?
Plus the whole thing is kinda confusing to me. If I do that, will Magisk remove SuperSU ? But if so, won't there be a problem with Xposed and other apps that need root ? Same question applies if I first manually remove SuperSU (assuming I can actually do that) before installing anything else.
In short, how should I proceed ? Do I have to remove anything ? Can I do anything ?
Again, sorry if things had been told already. I really want to take my shot, but I don't wanna soft brick my device again by being too carefree one more time.
Thank you for your time and your help.
When super su is installed magisk will make it automatically systemless. But it can't guarantee that it can always hide it. If super su isn't installed /you are unrooted then magisk will install and use magisk su.
Also since you mentioned them: soft bricks can be resolved by just reflashing your Rom, no need to wipe (lose your data) in most cases

Thank you for your answer. Can I uninstall SuperSU to install Magisk su instead then ? Do I need to remove Xposed module and my root apps too ?

Yeah, I do know that, but I really do need my phone at the moment, so I'd kinda be in a world of pain if I brick it.
You can Uninstall super su if you want but it isn't a must if you don't care magisk su. I would remove xposed before installing magisk and after having installed magisk you can install the systemless version. As for your apps that use root, you don't need do deinstall them

Sorry for the late reply.
I do want to use Magisksu instead of SuperSU. So basically, what I have to do is :
1 - Uninstall Xposed by flashing the uninstaller from TWRP
2 - Uninstall SuperSu (by the app menu ? Is it enough to remove root ?
3 - Install Magisk from the store
4 - Install systemless Xposed from the store
And I'll be all set, correct ? Nothing should go wrong ?

I'll add a couple of points to your list:
2.5 - Make sure to restore the stock boot image.
3.5 - Flash magisk.zip in recovery. You can't install through the Manager if not rooted.
If you want to use Magisk Hide to pass SafetyNet you'll have to disable Xposed. Magisk can't hide it, even if it's systemless.

Thank you for this clarification. Can you also tell me how can I restore the stock boot image only ? Or Do I have no choice but to re-flash the whole ROM in order to do so ?

Just flash the boot image from an near stock custom Rom. You can flash it through a recovery menu

Well, all I can find with Huawei Firmware Finder seems to be full or OTA ROM updates. I can't download the boot image only.
However, within the SuperSU app settings, there are two options : one to change superuser app and a second one to completely remove root. By any chance, does one of these options clear the boot image by itself ?

It can be a bit of a bother getting the boot image from inside a Huawei factory image...
SuperSU can restore your boot image when you do the full unroot. That was actually what I was referring to with my 2.5.

Hi all,
Yesterday I've unlocked my Oneplus 3T bootloader and installed TWRP.
After that I flashed Lineage 14.1, Open Gapps, addonsu-14.1-arm64-signed.zip and finally Magisk. Reboot and install SuperSu.
But I'm wondering if I still need to flash the Lineage addonsu and SuperSu.

What are you doing mixing all those root solutions? Pick one... If you want Magisk, you do not need the other two.

Thanks. I probably missed something when reading the threads. I understood Magisk can root my devices, but didn't understood that simply installing it would root my device. So that's why I was flashing su binary and using SuperSU app.
Thanks a lot.
First of all I'm sorry for answering this post so late but I needed to do it.
Well, according to all I've seen about magisk, and obviously with this post, everything I must do to use magisk is:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash Official Stock ROM
3. Flash Magisk.zip
4. Install Magisk Manager
Is it all? Really? Shouldn't I do anything else, because I'm too worried about it. I've ever used SuperSU until now, and this things of MagiskSU, Magisk Manager and Magisk Hide option are really new for me.
If someone could answer me, including the owner of this post it'd be VERY APPRECIATED and I would thank you all a lot!
Thanks haha

It's not quite apparent from your post if you have rooted with SuperSU already and now want to use Magisk instead. But, considering that you're posting in a thread that deals with moving from SuperSU I'm gonna go with that... Kind of...
You will need an unlocked bootloader, yes.
If you've rooted with SuperSU you can reflash your ROM, or use something like @osm0sis unSU zip and then flash the stock boot image only. Depends on your setup which option is easier. If you're not already rooted, this step is unnecessary.
Installing Magisk is just as easy as that, yes.
The Manager is also installed when flashing the Magisk zip, so this step is unnecessary. However... In rare cases the Manager doesn't install with the zip. If that happens you just have to install it manually.
The only step I'd like to add is to have a backup of all important data and files on your device. That's always good practice when tinkering with your device...
The release thread and the installation/troubleshooting thread (I'm hoping to have time to update it for Magisk v15.2 tonight) are good resources when setting everything up and if you encounter issues. Searching through the general support thread is also a good idea if issues arise. Most questions have been answered numerous times already.
I'm new to Magisk but have a couple of questions. I have a pixel XL running Dirty UNICORNS rooted with SuperSU. If I want to use Magisk can I just flash my dirty UNICORNS rom, gapps and then the magisk.zip?

No. You merely need to uninstall SuperSU, either through the SuperSU app (complete uninstall) or by using the unSU zip. You'll also have to make sure that you restore the stock unpatched boot image.
After that you can flash Magisk and you'll be good to go.
Hi all when flashing any version above v12 on to my phone it gets stuck at the boot logo I am using Lineageos latest version of typing this but if I use v12 its fine but dont pass the CTS and stuff
I have tried to fully uninstall the magisk and reinstall it on the newer version and nothing can anyone help please
I have also fully reinstalled the ROM with formatting everything and it still don't boot
Your bootloader must be unlocked to flash LOS on the S5, right? I have the same setup as you and running no issues at all. Are you flashing the zip after flashing the ROM?

The Samsung galaxy S5 plus (g901F) is different from Samsung galaxy S5 (g900) si magisk work on second one but on the first one magisk v13 never worked and it's confirmed at the lineage OS side. I'm on this case too so I confirm the issue.

So glad someone eles has the same problem and I'm not on my own it just seems weird how the v12 works it don't pass but all loads fine. Let hope they find why and fix it.
Flash your stock bootloader then try flashing magisk
I'm using the stock bootload not changed my bootloader
If it was the bootloader why foes v12 work fine?
No request to have any information about this ?
What do the devs need (other than time of course) to try a troubleshooting ?
How to get this logs/boot image and logs ?
Managed to get it working, but did a clean install and lost it, first time I got it working I was at 19-07-2017 build with magisk manager 5.1.1 and magisk 12, with magisk folder mount and magisk ext SD access modules installed, then upgraded to 26-07-2017 build through official update from settings, and after installation I rebooted the phone into recovery and installed magisk 13.3 (as you know when updating we lose magisk root) and it worked.
Then did a clean install of 26-07 build (thinking it will work) but nope.

I tried to do that again but I couldn't. As said:
In was on 19-07-2017 build with magisk 12 sdk and magisk manager 5.1.1 app, had magisk folder mount 0.8.5 and SD card access module, then on 26.07.2017 I received the weekly update, after update I rebooted the phone into recovery and instead of magisk 12 sdk I installed magisk 13.3 (for testing) and it worked. I tried doing that again but didn't worked so I don't know what to say lol.

I posted a logging of the problem on the main support thread, let's see what happens
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...sal-systemless-t3432382/page1765#post73249492
cross the fingers (I hope that you say like that in English)
Fingers crossed they sort it. Would love yo be able to use magisk again
Does anyone here have this issue on a stock ROM or is it just Lineage OS? From the log that was posted in the main support thread it looks like the Magisk installation was successful, but the system hangs on this one line before it can fully boot. I'm not qualified to read more than that out of the log though...
There's been some code added to GitHub in the last few days. Have anyone tried the latest unofficial snapshot? There was a new one built yesterday: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/unofficial-magisk-v10-beta-built-t3521901
Hi we got anymore news on this I have tried the latest beta one and it still gets stuck at booting.
It seems there is nothing to expect from nor magisk team neither lineage team. Nobody seem want to work on this really specific problem.
After updating to the latest security patch (PRA-LX1 8.0.0.374(C432patch01)), I can't seem to root my phone anymore. Flashing supersu or magisk with TWRP causes my phone to not start up anymore. Are there any alternatives to magisk or supersu, or are there any particular (older) versions who are still able to root my phone?
Share your experience!
Thanks in advance
Hello. I rooted PRA-LX1 8.0.0.374(C432patch01). Following the next guide.

Much thanks This resolved the issue!
Just curious if Magisk 20.2 works with MIUI11 Q or not. I'm currently on MIUI10 P with Magisk 20.1. Magisk apparently causes problems with MIUI11 so I've avoided updating.
No problems, whatsoever. Can't notice any difference from 20.1
Best trick is so keep magisk uninstaller standby incase something goes wrong....

Sorry to ask more questions but did you disable encryption?
I'm looking to do the update from MIUI/P to MIUI11/Q later this evening with Magisk 20.3 - but curious if I need to do anything particular with the data partition and encryption (such as flash a DM verity zip). Last time I didn't need to; it was just fastboot boot TWRP>flash TWRP>install Magisk zip>reboot to system.
I'm gonna backup everything to my PC first then do a clean update via MiFlash.
For me magisk 20.2 and 20.3 (on xiaomi.eu 20.1.2) is causing edxposed to not work
