[GUIDE] [F3111] HOW TO Install Magisk on Xperia XA

Steps:
1. Download Magisk V11.1 & uninstaller
2. Root device (use @rrvuhpg root guide)
3. Download and flash Systemless SuperSU
4. Reboot and fully unroot device (don't restore stock boot image)
5. Reboot
6. Reboot into recovery
7. Flash Magisk & reboot
8. Wait for device to reboot fully (it takes a long, long time)
9. Download Magisk Manager from Play Store
10. If root is there, then you're done
Alternate Method:
1. Root Device (use @rrvuhpg root guide)
2. Download and flash Systemless SuperSU
3. Reboot and install Magisk Manager from Play Store
4. Open Magisk Manager and go onto the install tab
5. Press "detect" on the boot image location section and press "Magiskify" (I kept both advanced options unchecked)
6. Once flashed and rebooted, you're done.
Notes:
1. Rebooting after flashing Magisk takes ages, if there is a problem with booting then just flash the Magisk uninstaller. Just try to wait at least 10 minutes for the reboot after flashing Magisk, just don't crap yourself and uninstall the Magisk.
If you have questions or need help, just ask.

No problem for me on F3112 with Magisk 11.1 and SuperSu 2.79 on 33.2.B.3.105 firmware. Only SafetyNet fail (CTS profil mismatch).

Use MagiskSU instead, fully unroot device with SuperSU but don't restore the boot.img etc. Go to recovery and use the Magisk uninstaller then reflash Magisk 11.1 and if you unrooted, then it will install MagiskSU. It is Magisk's new official root

Also Systemless xposed causes safety net fail and you need to activate Magisk hide in the settings as well

And selinuxmode needs to be enforcing but Magisk takes care of that itself so don't worry, just double check it's enforcing, Magisk will turn it permissive itself only when needed

Thank you for your tips but XA is not my daily phone anymore, now I have a Oneplus3 and XA is just used as test/dev unit. I hope it will help other users.

Magisk should help with maintaining root after the latest and future Xperia XA updates (most likely will work with Nougat update too)

It does, but if you use systemless xposed, you will need to disable it and then it will work.

Thank you very much for this guide.

Can't I use just Magisk installer without unrooting the rom? If I'm not wrong Magisk has is own root manager

I tryed to install Camera 60fps Recording Module but i got error the zip is stored in : intenal storage ....

Is this safety net important to have it in green to pass this CTS ? I have done method 2. Magisk manager form store and then I installed Magisk 12. In installation panel when I tap detect it detecs (auto) mmcblk. Is it all ? Does it work ?

Where can I find the Systemless SuperSU?

I have been trying to change to Magisk with this guide but it failed in the 1st method, the 2nd one gives the root with super su but i wanted to use Magisk alone, so i have been researching and by flashing the stock boot.img (i used the one provided in the thread "Stock kernels built from sources") Magisk was installed and worked except for the SafetyNet. Do someone passes SafetyNet or have a suggestion?

To pass the Safetynet check the only way is to use encrypted partition but you will lose the ability to mount/backup the /data partition with TWRP.

MAGISKSU for Magisk users

So as we all know magisk does not root nonrooted or supersu rooted devices (atleast not my devices) so here is simple method to gain MagiskSU Root access and possibly hide your root.
Note: i will use phh's superuser which was used in magisk before.
COMPATIBILITY:
ANDROID 7.x -- Not confirmed
ANDROID 6.0.1 -- Confirmedly working!
1) DOWNLOAD PHH'S SUPERUSER https://superuser.phh.me/
2) BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND FLASH DOWNLOADED ROOT ZIP AND MAGISK IF NOT FLASHED ALREADY
3) REBOOT AND ENJOY

Ok so this is not the correct procedure for getting Magisk to work, this is exactly how it's done in my case at least.
1. Flash a rom of your choice ( in my case it was viper rom on the HTC 10, rooted with SuperSU, I have an international unlocked device with S-Off)
2. Extract the boot.img from your ROM ( in my case it was in the root of the rom's zip file)
3. Copy the boot.img to your Fastboot folder on your computer.
4. Install Magisk Manager and download Magisk 12.0 zip to your phone.
5. Reboot to download mode and then: fastboot flash boot boot.img allow it to flash, press power to come out.
6. Without rebooting, boot to recovery and flash the Magisk 12.0 zip.
7. Reboot and check the 3 sections to see if MagiskSU has been locked in, no warning should come up when activating Magisk hide.
Done.

[GUIDE] [SD652/MTK] Magisk - How to pass Safetynet check

Hello everyone,
As you might have seen, Google Safetynet APIs have been updated. Since Official Magisk is using old API, when you try to pass Safetynet, it will automatically give you an error like " The response is invalid" or something like that.
So, in order to bypass this issue, I've been searching for a long time and I found a solution.
THIS WON'T WORK WITH XPOSED FRAMEWORK INSTALLED!!
1- Uninstall completely Magisk using official uninstaller.
2- Once the device rebooted, download and install latest unofficial Magisk Manager APK available on this page: https://github.com/ianmacd/MagiskBuilds?files=1
3- Open Magisk Manager and go to Magisk settings
4- Click on Update Channel and choose Custom
5- Insert this URL and click OK : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ianmacd/MagiskBuilds/master/updates/ianmacd.json
6- Click on Clear Repo Cache
7- Return to Magisk Startpage and check for update
8- Install Unofficial Magisk 16.8
9- Once installation done, reboot your device
10- Go to Magisk Manager and check for Safetynet
If it passed, Congratulations, you're done.
If not, continue.
11- Download this Magisk Module : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528046758
12- Once downloaded, disconnect your phone from Internet (turn of the Wi-Fi, 4g, etc...). It's very important
13- Install the module using Magisk Manager and reboot
14- When reboot done, wait 5 minutes before turning on Internet connection
15- Go to Magisk Manager and check if Safetynet passed.
It should be working, it worked in my case.
Have tried on two devices:
- Leeco x626 with EUI ROM ( Cuoco) using the module
- Leeco x526 with MIUI 10 without the module
FOR EUI ROMs:
You could get an error saying you're using a modified software or something like this, after uninstalling old Magisk.
Do this :
- Download official Magisk uninstaller AND Unofficial Magisk 16.8 ZIP
- Reboot to TWRP Recovery
- Uninstall old Magisk using the uninstaller
DO NOT REBOOT
- Return to TWRP Home menu and install unofficial Magisk 16.8
- Reboot your device and it should be okay

Wow it worked. Thanks a lot bro.

Help with installing Magisk on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V

I have read many threads and lots of videos and cannot seem to get the Magisk installed.
I have flashed back to stock many times with (N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5) in order to try multiple methods.
Rooted with Arabictoolapp - used rootchecker to verify/application also says true for root
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...guide-ob6-of1-root-bootloader-unlock-t3439010
installed SU from playstore to unlock bootloader using the adp method - shows developer mode to verify - using eMMc to verify CID starts with 15
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
installed twrp using official twrp app & also tried ODIN in another trial (picked verizon americas and got twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img )
turned phone off and boot into recovery to verify; at this time i created a recovery
using MagiskManager i downloaded the zip (Magisk-v18.1.ip) and flashed using twrp - no errors but when i restart the phone it says Magisk not installed
next attempt was to extract the boot.img from the stock OF1 and then flash the Magisk - no errors but when i restarted the phone it says the same thing - Magisk not installed
another attempt was to patch the boot.img and got a patch_boot.img then using TWRP i flashed the patch_boot.img - restarted and magisk not installed
after further digging, i tried another method which was to unroot using SU, reboot, go into recovery to then install Magisk - magisk not installed
*note each attempt to install Magisk unrooted my phone
*was able to use Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip to uninstall Magisk manager from recovery - icon went away
anyways i am completely stuck now. any suggestions or comments on my approach?

what do you mean after normal reboot? so flash magisk in twrp. reboot. reboot again then install magisk manager? do you know what version of magisk i should run and where i can find the dl link?

What he means is you install the Magisk ZIP via TWRP in Recovery mode, reboot the phone, then you install Magisk Manager via the APK.
Go to magiskmanager dot com website which has the ZIP installer plus the APK for the Manager.

I only just recently tried to tackle this challenge. I also installed 0F1 with Odin, then rooted with Arabic. I was messing with Pokemon go and it wasn't happy I was rooted. I downloaded magisk manager, installed it that way. At reboot, angry message from Verizon that I have custom software and phone won't boot. I assume this is because I didn't install custom recovery.
If you figure a way to get this done, I will be grateful. One thing I don't quite follow. Magisk is a root method...so should we really be rooting the phone prior? Seems redundant and going against the whole point of magisk. Right?
I wanted to play around with spoofing GPS with PGO which requires making a GPS spoofer a system app (need root for that). Is that still possible using magisk?
I'll post any updates I have as well.
