Anyone get Magisk working on B25? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Just upgraded from B19 to B25 via DrakenFX's zips, and it looks like Magisk has stopped working. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the zip, but it looks like the superuser app just crashes after prompting for permission. Magisk thinks there's root, but its logs just end with "phh: starting su daemon." (And, of course, safetynet fails). I'd upload a screenshot, but I can't . I'm trying to use Magisk v10.3-beta2 with 17 me.phh.superuser cm-su topjohnwu.
Anyone figured this out, or found another way to get Android Pay working with an unlocked bootloader?
Thanks!

Apparently there is no functional Magisk for stock nougat. You can use 10.2 on MM or 12 on one of the custom (non stock based) nougat roms.

Actually, I did manage to get Magisk 10.3-beta2 working on B19 nougat, so I assumed that it'd work on B25. Looks like that's not the case, though.

That version of Magisk works for me on b25. Three green lights. What version of Magisk manager are you using? I have 4.3.3.

Care to share the version of Magisk you have working?

Actually, looks like Magisk 12 works well enough to hide the bootloader on B25, which is all I really wanted, anyways .

I want to run magisk so I can use android pay, I'm rooted, on stock nougat, unlocked BL. I've found very little axon 7 specific threads, so just wondering are there any gotcha's? Is it like TWRP where you need a version built for the phone?
thanks

If you're rooted already, I'm not sure if Magisk 12 is going to work, since Magisk Hide only hides MagiskSU. I'd try looking into the guide for Magisk 13, starting from no root, which might be able to get you root with Android Pay

Hey, thanks for getting back. Actually I ended up removing supersu, flashing stock boot & system, then installing magisk again. Now I get the same as your screenshot, but the "rooted but no root permission" result.
Do you know how to fix that?

Aside from trying Magisk 13, that's where I ended up getting stuck, so I think that's just how things are with Magisk 12/10.3.

Oh, ok, thanks. I'll try 13 I guess

Unfortunately it seems like 13 has similar behaviour .. it doesn't complain, but I don't seem to have root access, and on top of that the app crashes here and there. :/ I guess I may have to forego android pay for a little while.

Magisk v11.6 compatible with Droid Turbo Stock ROM

I can confirm that Magisk v11.6 installs and appears to function perfectly on my stock, unrooted, bootloader unlocked MCG24.251-5-5 device. Also, MagiskHide is not enabled by default, so keep this in mind if you're using a work device or any other situation where you might get in trouble for failing safetynet. That's all I know so far.
Go forth and Magisk!!!

No. Sunshine unlocks your bootloader, so you can then root.

MagicSU is included with the Magisk package. You can enable or disable it using the Magisk Manager app once it is installed.

Sorry, I was wrong about being able to disable it. There doesn't seem to be an option for that. But as long as Magisk Hide is enabled, Pokémon Go works fine for me.
More complicated question:
If I'm rooted via Computerfreek's debloated stock ROM, is there any point to running Magisk--and if so, how would I switch from SuperSU to MagicSU

The only advantage gained would be the ability to pass safetynet/use Android Pay/play pokemon go while rooted. To switch, uninstall SuperSU by selecting the full unroot option in the SuperSU app, then flash Magisk.

It's mostly for intellectual curiosity and maybe android pay.
But it didn't work--at least how I went about it.
I went into SuperSU and did a full unroot but did not restore the boot image (should I have?)
Then downloaded and flashed the latest 11.6 magisk
When the phone came back up, SU was gone but Magisk didn't re-root it. There were no options to do so.
Tried a second time and wiped caches but no change.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Magisk needs the OG boot image to work properly?

I installed it on stock MCG24.251-5-5 and Superuser is an option that appears in Magisk Manager. Yes, you should probably have the stock boot image before installing Magisk. I think the Magisk installer is designed to detect existing installations of SuperSU and not install its own superuser if it's detected, so if the full unroot didn't clean itself up properly for whatever reason, that might be why it didn't install with superuser.
It says:
...
-(Recommended) Restore your boot image back to stock
-Download the latest Magisk zip file
-If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
...
Which zip of super su should I flash therefore before flashing magisk zip?
I am currently, after restoring a backup, running your MGC stock with stock kernel, but I try installing bhb27s kernel now.
Ultimately I simply want to hide root+xPosed against my banking app...
€DIT: Wait, so SuperSUB may not be necessary, but is it safe to install magisk over bhb27s kernel?
I would do the following:
-Install newest v44 kernel from March, 12
-Reboot and look if Wi-Fi still works ...
-install Magisk 11.6
-Check if phone still works
-then install a working xposed
-Check if everything works
Is that correct or should I use another kernel version? I don't want another bootloop or damaged wifi^^

I don't see any problems with that plan, but you should know that xposed will insta-fail safetynet. If you want to hide modifications from anything that uses safetynet, xposed in any form is not an option. The only thing that works for me is Magisk 11.6's built in root, no xposed, no other modifications. With that, I can use Android Pay, Pokemon Go and my banking apps just fine as long as Magisk Hide is turned on. Android Pay and PoGo are blocked by default, but you need to make sure to go in and manually check the box next to every other app that you want to hide stuff from.
Also, if you insist on using SuperSU instead of the built in Magisk root (why???), you will also have to install the latest version of suhide (and I'm not positive that works anymore).
.I did not exactly know Super SU is just an option so I will not install it. Wish me luck
Also I hope there will be a way to hide xPosed however my banking app does not use SafetyNet, there is still hope, I don't care about Pokemon Go.
€DIT::: Everything working perfect - however safetynet fails when checking with Magisks own test. I guess it detects the Bootloader?
€DIT2::: Now after another reboot safetynet is successfully bypassed. My banking app still doesn't work - looks like they found a way that is even better than safetynet.
I just haven't had time to dig up another boot.img and flash it. I might revert back to SuperSU and come back to this later.

Try clearing the data for your banking app. Maybe it's set up so that once it fails, it never checks again. Also, clear cache/dalvik cache in TWRP if you haven't already. Also also, did you remember to block the banking app in magisk hide?

Root, update to Nougat and hide root

Hi,
To be honest I am a bit bored of the standard ROM, having come from other phones where I root and have a play. I did try to root once and did so successfully and installed a new ROM (Was CM13 or 14 I think) but some of my work applications (email, calendar etc) and some games (e.g. Pokemon Go) require you to not have root.
I found some website links to use hideSU and Magisk but I couldnt get it to work when toggling, and was stuck with it showing as rooted. This was around 6 months ago though
When I try to do a search now, most of the links relate back to the old Magisk process which didnt work for me last time and is still 6-12 month old links. Does anyone have an easier, step by step process of how to root, flash ROM and then hide root?
I am familiar with flashing, so no issue explaining that - I just need to know what steps in between/after flashing I need to do to hide root.
Thanks
Install any rom with Magisk. Then go to Magisk Manager app, enable Magisk hide under its settings, and then install your applications normally. It's so simple. Don't forget to check root status in Magisk app. Sometimes SafetyNet shows as not passing, but there are fixes to make it work.
I personally recommend ResurrectionRemix and AOSP Extended ROMs, but there are lot of roms with Magisk now.
Ah, I have to install ROM through Magisk? I did mine through TWRP I think and then did Magisk, this might be where I went wrong. Will try again, thanks

Nope. Install ROM that includes Magisk (and gapps) through TWRP, then use Magisk Manager app that is included in ROM. Sorry for missing that part. Quote me next time so I get the notification.

Ah thanks, so need specific ROM that includes Magisk.
If i want to say install RR Remix, anyway i can flash the ROM and then Magisk separately?
Hi 3sixty , How did you succeed in hiding your app through magisk ? any positive methods.. I will be happy to know as I'm trying to solve a similar problem with my samsung galaxy note 5.
Flash any ROM, flash magisk, update magisk manager and enable magisk hide
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
Well, I never used Magisk, but i used to hide root by installing Root Cloak App from Xposed. So you have to flash Xposed framework as well. It used to work with most of the apps with android 4-6, except for 1-2 banking apps.
For Custom Roms, I recommend Ressurection Remix over all ROMs after MIUI ROMs. MIUI ROMs are available for other handsets as well and not just Xiaomi.

Switch to Magisk from Super SU

Hey guys,
I apologize in advance if this is somewhere on the forum (I coukdn't find anything on it.)
So last evening I decided to do the fllowing: unlock, install twrp, root and install a custom rom. I'm comeing from a Note 3 so just getting familar with everything for Nexus.
I completed the unlock, twrp install and root (supersu) with the nexus root toolkit and made a backup as well (not through twrp), and flashed the latest pure nexus rom (stock kernal).
I would like to switch over to magisk so I can get the benefits of using it. How would I go about doing so ?
Thanks !

If you want magisk then dirty flash your rom to get rid of magisk. After that flash the magisk zip from recovery then reboot and go to play store to update app. Why do you want magisk btw? I used it but drooped it for supersu as it made the splash screen (boot logo that said Google) stay for a while making boot time take a long time.
Ok so if I did the following would I be in the clear:
Full Wipe
Flash rom
Gapps
Elementalx kernal (want to try this kernal)
Magisk 12.0
Reboot
Install magisk manager
I'd like to have magisk to hide root, for things like netflix.
Also would it make any sense to run unsu while flashing everything else ?

No need to flash unsu. If Netflix is the only reason you are using magisk then you could just use apkmirror. Also, I heard that the app detects unlocked bootloaders. You should be good to wipe the rom and flash all the stuff you said.
I'll look into apkmirror. Forgot to mentioned I'd like to used android pay as well. Can apkmirror help with that ?

If you want android pay then you need magisk and need to hide magisk from it aswell as using the hide root settings. You also need to pass the SafetyNet check if you want to use android pay.
Ok thanks. So I will do everything I mentioned in the list as well as set magisk to hide in magisk manager settings ?

So just an update. Did the following :
flashed
Rom
Gapps
Magisk
ElementalX Kernal
Reboot
Installed Magisk Manager, enabled magisk hide and systemless host (for adaway) and rebooted. Safetynet passes in magisk manager. Went to play store, checked settings device certification and it's certified. Searched netflix, still not available. I'm guessing this has to do with the bootloader being unlocked ? Is there a way around this or will I have to just download the latest apk from apk mirror ?
Going to test the phone out for a few days to see what battery life is like with elementalx (I was averaging around 4.5 hrs ost with stock). If I don't get any better I will def test out your wakeblock.
I would like to hijack this thread a little bit as it is on the same topic as well with slight differences, sorry!
I got a stock 6P with unlocked bootloader and rooted with systemless SuperSU. Fiddled around with Magisk manager before, it will fail SafetyNet check.
How do I switch to phh superuser and using magisk? Will this pass SafetyNet check? The bootloader will still be unlocked....
My main intent is to be able to use Android Pay.
This thread is right up my alley. I just got a Nexus 6 ( XT1103 ) unlocked bootloader, rooted using a Windows toolkit (don't remember the name) and have twrp installed. I read about Magisk after trying to use Android pay without any luck. I would like to use Android pay and believe Magisk would let me be able to do so with still having use of root apps.
Is it possible to go from root to Magisk without loosing my data?
how to keep magisk from uninstalling during a reboot!!!!!!???!!!!!!
im new at thisxda stuff but i am 90 percent sure i figured out how to keep magisk from uninstalling after a reboot... YOU MAY NEED TO UNINSTALL MAGISK AND ALL MODULES BEFORE DOING THIS basically you have to also install an older version of supersu and it has to be an aroma installer and install as SYSTEM if also make a backup of the boot.img just incase you get bricked if you install the supersu app it will say su binary occupied but install should stay install supersu aroma (2.78v2) from https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3879523&d=1474248173 before and possibly after magisk install...only tested with magisk 16.2 beta channel and regular install not patched boot on Axon 7 with RR 8.1 weekly 6.0.0 20180225 (us variant) but should work on others probably...let me know how this goes for you
TRY AT OWN RISK I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVICE BOOTLOOPS OR BRICKS
If anyone has a better way to get magisk to hold after a few restarts please let me know

Magisk v13.1, Safe to upgrade?

Just like the topic says. I'm currently running Magisk 11.6 and was told not to install or upgrade to v 12 since it was buggy. Well it looks like v13 is available (13.1 actually). Is this safe to upgrade?
Rom: NATF 4.0 for H910 (AT&T) - Android v7.0
Sidenote: What is preventing SafetyNet from passing (CTS Profile mismatch) ? Is the due to the DirtyCow exploit? Debugging is disabled and Magisk hide is on.
is definitely safe if you have a US996 variant of the LGV20 as I'm using it on that... about to try it out on my H918 variant of the LGV20, but should be fine with since I went through all the betas fine
I flashed 13beta on my h918 without doing anything special and it works just fine
Well I took the advice and upgraded. It didn't go so smooth. The update feature within Magisk manager didn't work. First it didn't let the device reboot. I had to pull the battery since all the shutdown commands did nothing.
2nd time trying to upgrade, it rebooted this time and when I checked the manager again it said magisk wasn't even installed. So I manually got the zip and updated in recovery and then manually installed the latest apk for the manager and finally I'm up to date. All is well (aside from safetynet).
When switching to Magisk 13.1 from anything lower you should use the magisk uninstaller before flashing the newer Magisk . Anything lower than Magisk 13 is not compatible with the newer v5 Magisk manager as far as I know.

I completely overlooked the uninstaller. I don't know how, I just did.
Updated to 13.2 and SafetyNet seems to pass now. Although I'm still "Uncertified" in the Play store.
Well goddamn, it must be working because I was able to get Google Wallet to work and Android Pay lets me add a card, although it says my card is not supported. I don't have a second card currently to test it. Maybe I need to enable it on the banks end. I'll call them tomorrow and ask.
Edit: Nope. It's my bank, not the card.

safetynet question - cts profile false

I was running stock 7.1.1 and everything was fine. Then i decided to try LOS 15.1, with magisk 17.4 but encountered an issue with safetynet cts profile false that prevented me from using android pay. I then proceeded to flash B35 EDL, and then do the sd upgrage to Oreo B20, but i still have the same issue with failing cts profile.
AI'm no longer rooted, running stock but still fail safetynet. Any one have any ideas what I can try next? at this point i just want cts profile to pass on the current oreo b20 stock.
Thanks!
It could be that SafetyNet detects that you have an unlocked bootloader, but there are ways to hide that (custom kernel, Magisk, etc). Do you have Xposed installed? That's an automatic SN fail. You haven't changed system partition in any way at all? It's also possible that Google hasn't yet approved B20 despite it being official rather than beta. There could be other factors too. SN looks at lots of things, many of which Google won't talk about.
You need to install magisk hide props and then in a terminal
"Su"
Grant superuser
Then
"Props"
And follow the on-screen instructions. Stupid that Google pay has a problem with rooted phones as it's painfully simple to get around it
You can find magisk hide props in the "download" section of magisk manager
Check the settings in the Google play store, Device not certified can be an issue when you change Roms.
The link between the device and Google has been broken, hence the device not certified.
There is an app Device ID that can add the certification back to its original state.
Hope this helps
Turned out to be it was because of the unlocked bootloader.
funny story... i locked the bootloader without having oem unlock enabled . Got bricked, couldn't boot into EDL... so i had to take it apart and ground the test point to put it into EDL.

"Magisk hide props config" is literally what it is called. If you can't find it, you're doing it wrong.
If all else fails, google then install manually.
Had to upgrade to magisk 17 to see the hide prop module download. Still couldn't pass safetynet with Oreo B20. Switched to LOS 15.1 and now everything works.
