Help fixing root and installing Magisk (Nexus 6P)

Hello ^^
I am hoping that some of you guys can help me out of a little issue that i am having, i will try and explain what has happened up until now as best i can:
As many people know, the latest update to Pokemon GO, knocks out rooted users. I did not know this and updated last night, however, dispite running a custom ROM (PureNexus) and being rooted, my game loaded up like normal and let me play. It wasn't until i checked that my SuperSU that i found that root wasn't actually working at that time, so i re-flashed the latest Super SU and all was good, but, obviously, this knocked out Pokemon GO.
I read up on the trick of using Magisk to be able to turn off root and when was needed as to get the game to work, so i went about trying to get it working. I unrooted via Super SU and then rebooted and flashed the Magisk installer and PHH Superuser (as i heard this was best for compatability). After the phone rebooted i, installed the Magisk launcher and the PHH SU program from the Play Store, but when i opened any app that reuqited root, it was still telling me i wasn't rooted anymore, and thus, when i opened PGO, it worked.
I am kinda lost from here, i want to get my phone rooted again, and i want to get Magisk working so i can still enjoy PGO and some of my occasionally used apps that require root, so my questions are as follows:
1. Can you re-flash an SU over an old one to get root back, or do i need to fully un-root and root again?
2. If i was to re-flash SuperSU (with Magisk support), would this get me rooted again and allow me to flash Magisk as normal?
I am a little lost here, any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance.

i have, it doesnt work as PGO uses safetynet, like Andriod Pay

For magisk to work, you have to use it to root and unroot. From what I understand, it temporarily removes root system wide when you do this. Basically it's a more convenient way to root and unroot.

Android Police has an article on it right now. The instructions for installation and usage are correct.
The problem is probably related to a failure to make sure all traces of previous SuperSU installations are gone.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/11/guide-play-pokemon-go-0-37-rooted-android-magisk

For magisk to work it's best to fully unroot, maybe try unsu.zip,
Then have a 100% stock system and boot (kernel)
And before flashing magisk and phh, try the SafetyNet checker app in the playstore. (PoGO uses SafetyNet to check for root, same as Android Pay)
If you pass then go ahead and flash magisk, phh, and then phh app followed by magisk manager
In the magisk thread are all the instructions to follow

Systemless Xposed for honor 7

After many trial and error (including some research here on XDA), it seems that if you are using stock boot.img and have a root using SuperSU 2.62 (systemless root i.e. your boot image was patched to get a working root), you have to install the systemless Xposed to make Xposed work.
It is an unofficial version which can be obtained here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
Thanks to DVDandroid for this work, don't forget to leave a thanks for him/her.
Am not facing any crashes or weird behavior after this installation.

@DigiGoon, can you please confirm that the root obtained on Pure Rom is a system root?
I think it is but want a confirmation...

Yes, it is System Root.

@HonorCasper...
Figured it out... Normal Xposed for system root and systemless Xposed for systemless root...
Can you suggest some good modules to use with Xposed?
One more thing, I am already using systemless AdAway but most users of Xposed use minminguard, what is the difference?

Or better yet use Magisk as your systemless framework and download Phh's systemless Su and the systemless xposed module.

I tried magisk but could not make it work. I think, I know how to do it the right way now but have to start with a clean firmware and flash magisk, install magisk manager, install Phh's SuperSU, install systemless Xposed and then modules...
Feeling too lazy to give it a try but for sure, it's on my list of things to do so that I can figure it out.
Are you using magisk on honor 7? How did you get it to work?
Sent from my PLK-L01 using XDA Labs

Sure Its working here.
I installed the magisk manager apk first
then flashed magisk from recovery(twrp required)
and right after that(before reboot) phh's su.
Rebooted, installed phh's superuser application from the playstore.
That got me a systemless root.
A systemless xposed is a little harder.
First you need the Material Design Xposed Installer from that link.
If you installed that then head into the magisk manager, swipe left, downloads
Download and install xposed sdk 21 for android 5.0 and sdk 23 for 6.0
It should reboot into recovery and flash the systemless xposed module.
Reboot into system, its gonna take a while, around 10-15 minutes.
And that got me the systemless xposed.
I should say that you should backup your stuff, but its broken in twrp so whatever.

@Raptorta... Thanks buddy, will give it a try... You are using magisk v7 or v6 as there are no toggles in v7 anymore...

You can also give BootManager a try to stop unwanted applications starting at boot and another I like is Xposed additions to map hardware buttons to new functions.
Have been trying to find some more but except flat style bar indicators, could not find a good one. It's fun to play with but did not keep it for long...

Are you experiencing any hiccups from EMUI OS after using this method.
I mean, like, settings not working, just flashing and force closing or any other thing which should not be?
Are you using v6 and can you play Pokémon go? (If you do)

Will do mate

Did anyone else try it?
So from what I can understand you need to flash magisk and then phh superuser. Is that right?

Phh's SU first. Then Magisk. You can also use systemless SuperSU with it.

You are wrong. It is Magisk and then Phh' SU
It is all working now
Although if you try to install xposed through Magisk it will bootloop. I spent hours try to figure it out why, before i remembered that the theme manager doesnt work with xposed and i think you need to deodex the rom before you install it
ps: when i finally flashed Magisk v8, rebooted and started magisk manager, guess what-- v9 came out (tried to flash that, but it kept saying that boot image does not enough space, so i fashed Digikernel and it worked)
edit: and pokemon go is working so i assume it passes safetynet

Oops. Sorry about that.

935F & Magisk

Hey,
I have an Exynos S7 Edge with G935FXXU1DQB3 (nougat) stock rom. It's unlocked, supersu 2.79 rooted systemless, and has TWRP.
I've been trying to install Magisk to no avail.
When I try to flash Magisk on top of supersu systemless, I get a "not enough space in the boot partition" error. If I flash the original boot image, flash phh's superuser, then I get no prompts for superuser requests for apps.
Another interesting thing, with phh's, magisk says the device is rooted, but no root access is authorized (Grey error box).
Regardless of this problem, if I flash magisk on top of phh's, then I end up with a boot loop.
In theory, magisk should work with systemless supersu.
Any ideas?

I think you need to install magisk first then install supersu or phh on top of it if you want.
Magisk have it's own root though if you don't know.

I tried to flash magisk before all else, and still, bootloop.
I'm assuming this is an incompatibility with the stock rom and I just need to look into a custom rom.

I am wondering could it be because stock rom has encryption enabled and custom roms dont perhaps?

I doubt that. A whole bunch of ROMs are encrypted, yet Magisk works on them. I'm thinking deoxed, but I can't be sure.
One thing I know is that I tried everything I could think of.
I'm going to try one of the super stock ROMs, and see how it goes. I'm weary though, people complain about WiFi issues, camera issues, mic issues... Don't know.

Noob question (I had a rooted S4 but new to G935F) , so if we install no need to root with Chainfires SuperSu then right? Then why flash SuperSu on top?

Yes.
The reason why people flash supersu on top might be because of some compatibility issue that might rise from magiskSu since magisksu is still quite new but supersu have been exist for a long time.
I have never face any issue with magisksu though.

Update: over the last 24 hours, I've been using SuperStock 2.5 ROM. I have to admit that I am pleasantly surprised. Here's a quick review, for those who might be interested:
1. I switched from stock. Flashed it dirty, meaning system partitions only. My data and apps were kept intact.
2. Aroma installer is cool, loved the options.
3. No camera issues, no Bluetooth issues, no WiFi issues, no mic issues. In fact, so far, no issues none whatsoever.
4. My accounts, WiFi passwords, and Bluetooth pairings were gone. I wasn't expecting that. I reversed back to my original stock (always back up), made titanium backups for those, switched back to the ROM, then restored them back.
5. Magisk and supersu is working fully. Android pay also works. I also installed Google assistant thru magisk. I'm loving it.
6. No xposed yet, since it's nougat. It sucks, but it's not the ROMs fault.
7. I did not flash the Bluetooth and modem. I like what I had, and I'm keeping them
8. I don't do GApps. I like the stock apps.
For those of you who are looking for a variety, I recommend SuperStock. I tried lineage, remix and a few others, SuperStock seems to fit me the most. Magisk is the obvious benefit, and battery seems to be the same as before.

Blocking ads, not working?

Hi,
I've trouble blocking ads. I'm using Adaway but for some reasons it is not working properly (sources are up-to-date). Sometimes it works but on 9/10 times it doesn't.
I'm using latest Magisk beta (systemless hosts are activated) and running OOS 4.5.4.
Any idea?
Thanks.

I'm also using Adaway with systemless as a preference but with SuperSU root. I've never notice it failing to do its job. Do you have a specific site or example I could try?

Thanks for the answer. You can try XDA. ^^

I think it is a Magisk thing. I tried AdAway on my OP3 with Magisk and got the same results as you. It seems to only work with SuperSU.

I'm not sure if it needs to be done, but I'd guess that it does...Did you enable the settings in magisk to allow hosts file modifications on a systemless root system?
I haven't noticed any ads with AdAway/Magisk on my OP5.

OK tried your example on my OP5 (with Adaway installed) and I just get a blank gap between the first post and the second. No XDA Sponser and the accompanying images/links. This result is consistent with both Chrome and Boat browser. Interesting as I have some ad blocking turned on with my router (Tomato router firmware) but still get the XDA adverts with Firefox (Linux Mint).
I'd say at least for this example AdaWay is working as advertised. I've attached my AdaWay preferences screenshot.

I am using magisk's ad blocking, systemless hosts module, and i do not have adaway installed.... no ads at all that I can see.
After installing the module and rebooting, you need to open a terminal (I use terminal emulator from playstore) and run these 2 commands:
su
hosts
Then follow the prompts in the terminal to enable the various blocks. May need a reboot afterward to get it all working. Using "naked browser" for all my web surfing, and as I said previously: no ads at all

I have Magisk 12 and supersu 2.82 on 1+5. After I install Adaway, it says my system has not been rooted.

Still not working on my side. Adaway appears to be correctly working, I've checked system/etc/hosts and files has been updated with sources from Adaway.
I've tried SuperSU and Magisk but no success, sometimes it works for a while but doesn't stick after a reboot.
