Hi All,
Been a root user for a few years, so i know the power of the typical root apps such as SU, Magisk and Xposed.
I was messing around last night an managed to find a way to get magisk fully installed on my phone and it passed the safety net ( see pictures). There are pictures to prove i have got magisk, Also there may be a easier method but this is what i used.
Ensure you are on RR as i have not tested.
Here is my method:
1. Download both attached files
2. Reboot to recovery
3.flash SU
4.Reboot
5. Once system loads open up SU app and go through the initial setup
6. reboot back into recovery
7.flash Pixel Magisk RC112
8. REBOOT
9. go into the SU app and into settings, scroll down to full uninstall and click thorough the popups and uninstall.
10. your phone will reboot and go into the magisk app and thank me.
Thanks for reading
EDIT: ALTERNATIVE METHOD BELOW:
How I got this on pn, elemental and flashing the right zip in the op was the key for me, the 2 zips in the first post of this thread
Install pn
Install TWRP
Reboot system
Reboot recovery, install elemental
Reboot to system
Reboot recovery install magisk sr3 zip one on op
Reboot system
Set up super su
Reboot recovery, flash rc112
Reboot system
Super su full unroot, check yes to both
Should reboot system
Open and set up magisk manager,
Go to settings and check hide magisk and systemlesd
Seems to work better on pn
This follows the first post of this thread works good for pn
If magisk manger doesn't show up in your launcher
Install https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskM...ger-v4.2.6.apk

Here's another way new rr already comes with magisk manager on it. Just wipe in TWRP, flash newest rr, reboot system once and then flash this experimental magisk zip in TWRP
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767148610
Also when your done make sure to check hide magisk inside manager. And also if your a titanium backup user, you need to go to preferences, troubleshooting, check force busy box, and sq lite. That will make it work with new magisk root
Remember to check busy box in magisk manager app,
And give it a couple reboots, takes a bit to kick in.
Edit no longer have to do anything to get titanium backup to work, just check Magisk hide and systemless
Edit. Will work on big and small pixel
Edit updated new Magisk zip

Looks promising, will it works on pn rom or is it rr rom exclusive for now?

Not sure I was taking to somebody last night who was trying it, he hasn't got back to me
Currently I'm using suhide, but I'll prefer magisk if it works since it's open source!

At the very end of my method I had to reboot once to get it all working right.
For the full unroot part do I need to restore the boot and recovery img?
If I choose no it reboot with SuperSU app disappear but still rooted with SuperSU as shown in the magisk app
restore the boot and recovery, it should delete the app and no super su left on your device.
Awesome. Gonna try this out tomorrow morning.
Are there any other useful modules for magisk? I havent looked into them since it was in v6 or v7...
only thing i use is hide su or magisk
everything else seems irrelevant for me, but if you find something let me know.
Here is my procedure: I was on newest RR with ElementalX and SuperSU.
I followed these steps: recovery -> dirty flash RR and flash Elemental X, MAGISK experimental zip, TWRP zip -> reboot = No SuperSU but magisk root works and safety net check failed in Magisk -> go back to recovery -> flash Elemental X, MAGISK experimental zip, TWRP zip -> reboot, No SuperSU, magisk root works, safetynet passes, hide magisk from other apps in magisk setting -> profit (android pay, venmo, snapchat, all are working)

I have not seen anyone say they have decrypted the phone, Magisk is just now working on a few roms. I wouldnt bother, this phone has the processor for decryption.
So I take it that even with this it is one or the other with regard to having root (su) working or safety net passing for Magisk. You cant have true SU where you can alter system/app folders with Magisk root, you need true super su. So if I use Magisk root it limits me a little bit. But if I dont I cant use stuff like android pay, LOL

That's great. I'm trying to get a hold of another guy that said he got it to work on pn. I tried but ended up having to start over and flash stock. I'll tell u this if you haven't tried restoring a backup with rc2, don't, it caused all kinds of problems. I went back to rc1.
I can't get Titanium Backup to work . I did check "force busybody and SQlite" in Troublshoot settings,

Make sure and enable busy box inside magisk manager settings. That might do the trick and I installed busy box like normal to, not sure if I had to, I think it might be built in to that app
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!!!

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?
Hi guys! I cant log in or make a new acct on Snapchat with my g4 plus rooted on stock N, is there a workaround?

You can't make new account with root enabled! Try hide root or Magisk and try creating again

Here's a fairly easy way to solve this:
- Unroot your phone
- Install Snapchat and login
- Root
- Install Titanium backup
- Backup Snapchat
- Go to your Internal Storage>Titanium Backup, and copy the gzip files from there to an SDCard or back it up to the cloud.
Now, if you ever flash another custom ROM all you have to do is install Titanium Backup and restore A bit complicated, but it's a 1-time issue and works pretty well.
Oh, and btw, Magisk works fine, so try that instead of SuperSU.
So I can root with magisk instead of super SU? I Tried phh and got stuck on bootlooping!
I Tried unrooting with super SU and didnt work Will try to flash the stock back to do that
1. Flash Magisk from recovery.
2. Install Magisk Manager from the play store.
3. In settings (Magisk Manager), enable Magisk Hide.
4. Go your merry way.
This is what I did. I'm using the likes of Snapchat, Pokémon Go and Mario Run.
And yes, you can log into Snapchat.

You need to flash it in TWRP. I recommend completely unrooting from SuperSU or phh.
Also, stock kernel is incompatible with Magisk. Flash ElementalX or Vegito if you wish to use Magisk.
So, in this order:
-Unroot
-Flash Kernel (EX or Vegito)
-Flash Magisk (will automatically install MagiskSU)
-Wipe ART/dalvik cache
-Boot
-Install Magisk Manager, presto, ur done

I aslo had that problem on two occasions.
The first was with the Stock ROM 7.0 and the resolution was simply reboot and wait with an app that needed SuperUser to run. After a while the SuperUser request flashed up. In my case I used Titanium BackUp as the app.
In the second instance I had loaded the Lineage 15 (Android Oreo ROM) and had to install Magisk to get the root. I may have been using the wrong SuperUser though.
Some ROM's, however have a setting that you can change to get the root if you want to.

Why don't you try Magisk instead of SuperSU. I also had a lot of problems with SuperSU like App Quarantine, Titanium backup not detecting root, or taking a long time for SuperSU prompt. I have no problems with Magisk.
Not sure it will help you because in my case, SuperSU did appear in the app drawer.

You can either update via the Magisk Manager app,or,if you have TWRP,use it to update to the latest Magisk.

I always update through TWRP. Just updated. Since I always choose the hide magisk option replacing it with a random name I uninstall the app real quick before I reboot to recovery. Used to be if you didn't you would end up with two apps installed. Don't know if this is still an issue or not. Either way all your settings will still be there. I uninstall the app, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk. Boot back into the OS, all my settings are already there, so the only thing I have to do is rehide Magisk.

I'm having issues acquiring superuser rights with the new update (stock rom/kernel). On some apps it works on others it doesn't pop up with a notification, Titanium Backup being a notable one.
Any ideas?
edit: got it working by increasing the length of time before timeouts from 10sec to 60sec.
I usually start over.
I flash a virgin boot age to both slots.
Reboot with TWRP
Install TWRP zip
Install ElementalX and Magisk zips.
Change slots and reboot recovery
Install ElementalX and Magisk in this slot.
I have the same OS version and kernels etc flashed in both slots.

Hey guys, sorry for my stupid asking. I have following case:
I had installed an old version of magisk. Today I got the update offered in magisk manager app. I updated the manager first, now I have 2 magsik manager apps in my device. I opened the new one and it says that I haven't installed the latest version. So far so good.
I downloaded the latest V18.1 from GitHub and installed the zip via twrp.
It installed normally and booted as always.
But I still have 2 versions of the manager apps in my device. Old one says I have V18.1 installed, root access is there. Checked it with root checker.
The new manager app says that I haven't installed the latest version and I have an update available.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get to a normal state with 1 manager app ?

Same thing with me. I tried it twice to set of something weird happened with the same result. And if you do a safetynet check on the old app it deletes the new one for me for some reason.
