Moto X Pure and Magisk Support

I have installed Magisk on my XT1575, for those who dont know, its a method in which Xposed can be installed systemless, with the benefit of taking OTA's. And as a bonus, things like android pay work (with a on-the-fly toggle) to turn off root check, snapchat works, etc.
Pre-requisites (MARSHMALLOW)
1. Stock rom (this is mandated by the developer @topjohnwu ) preferably stock kernel, but i am using frankenclark
1A. TWRP (Download Link Here) https://dl.twrp.me/clark/twrp-3.0.2-0-clark.img.html
2. Magisk manager zip (Download Link Here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19632&task=get
3. Custom superuser PHH-Superuser (Download link here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19633&task=get
4. Custom Xposed (Download Link Here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3832615&d=1470276932
5. Custom Superuser app from the playstore (Download Link Here) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
6. Custom Xposed Installer (Download Link Here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19668&task=get
Steps:
1. Start with clean stock marshmallow 18-4 (i used the firmware flash and did it that way)
2. Install TWRP (1A)
3. Boot into TWRP recovery (do not select system writable. leave it stock, this ensures the chances of OTA support, unless you dont care, then set it writable)
4. Flash frankenkernel, if you want, if not continue on
5. Flash MAGISK (2)
6. FLASH custom superuser (3)
7. Flash Xposed framework (4)
8. reboot into marshamallow
9. Before opening MAGISK, install the custom superuser app from the playstore (5)
10. Install the custom XPOSED installer (6)
11. You should now see that xposed 86.3 is active
12. Profit, make sure to check MAGISK and see if the toggle between rooted and unrooted works, but it should.

Links #3 and #4 are dead.
Do I need PHH-Superuser or can I use SuperSU? It looks like I only need PHH-Superuser if I want to use android Pay.

What are you running for a stock, rooted systemless supersu ROM that passes safety net?

whelp, the whole reason i had a xpure was because my 10 was getting uh oh'd for a broken display, and that took 2 weeks. When i wrote the post, magisk and phh was rollin in the regards that android pay (safetynet) had been beat, so i wrote a writeup on how to do it. Now safetynet has been upgraded to the point where magisk is beat, afaik.
Magisk screwed with my banking app, and i didnt use it for anything else, so i stuck with systemless supersu & xposed instead, no magisk on my 10.
Honestly, im not sure why people want android pay, all the places i used it, charged me extra for using, like a 1.50 pepsi cost 2.10 out of our vending machines at work.

Couldn't agree more. For the systemless root - all you did was install SuperSU from play store and run that command in twrp?

No, Magisk is only designed for stock, unrooted roms. It doesn't get around SafetyNet anymore anyway, Android Pay, Pokémon Go, and most financial apps won't work anyway.

Nandroid and try a full unroot and reboot... It might work since it's largely stock, but it doesn't work in most custom roms

MAGISK+ Root+ safetynet - Pixel Guide

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

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

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!!!

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?

Magisk and S7 edge Int. On nougat

Hello Guys,
I'm a Noob to Magisk. I really don't understand that What is Magisk and What is does? I'm eager to install it. So I'm very new to this. Let me tell I have Galaxy S7 edge (SM-935FD) model on Nougat 7.0 Rooted with Super Su and Twrp newest Version installed. Plus I have also flashed Superstock Kernel on it. As I searched on Xda magisk but I still didn't get it. If anyone can tell me in a Noob friendly way. That would be appreciated. Thanks.

Anybody replying?

Magisk is basically another root manager like supersu, but instead it can be toggled on and off on the go, so that apps that check for root binaries, would work again. But if you don't have such apps installed, then there is no point of installing magisk, because you already have supersu installed.

Hi guys,
I have been trying to flash Magisk v12 on my S7 edge (SM-G935FD) without super su, in hopes of using Magisk Su but I keep receiving ERROR: 1 in TWRP when it is trying to mount SU.
I am using a stock Rom and have performed a clean wipe in TWRP, but still cannot get Magisk v12 zip to install without the error 1 message. Appreciate if someone can enlighten me on how to over come this issue.

Then try to download it from the Google playstore

magisk 12 has super user incorporated into it.
first make sure that you back up your phone using smart switch as you will be dealing the data on your phone as part of the installation process.
1. you need to make sure that you have flashed a stock and cleaned boot image to your phone.
2. enter TWRP and wipe data
3. while still in TWRP flash the magisk 12 zi[p which you have stored on phone or sd card
4. reboot and magisk and root should be on your phone.
5. reintsall your data only from the back up you made.
total time needed depending on how mich data you have could take up to 20 minutes.

Thank you for your reply and step by step instructions. I followed and everything is working flawlessly. I'm now trying to figure out how to fake Knox 0x0 as mentioned in the changelog, so I can use Samsung Pay and other banking services. If you do have any idea, please do share and let me know.
Cheers and have a great weekend.

[Guide] Stock 8.0.0 with root and SafetyNet OK (Android Pay working)

Hi all,
With the activation of Android Pay in Canada, I was looking for a solution that pass the safety net with open bootloader, root, and modified host file. The information about was very partial at best, so I thought writing a guide is a good idea. Here we go:
1) Download all the needed files:
Official factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/images#marlin
TWRP boot image: https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/
TWRP install zip (on the phone): https://dl.twrp.me/marlin/
Official Magisk Uninstaller: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Official Magisk Beta v14.3 version for Pixel: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
[*]Last version of ElementalX kernel: http://elementalx.org/devices/pixel/ [or any patched kernel for verified boot, See post #45]
Last beta version of Magisk Manager: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/topjohnwu/magisk-manager// or on the XDA Thread
2) Install last factory image
Unzip the factory image
Edit flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh (Mac, Linux), and remove the "-w" on the last line
Reboot into bootloader: adb reboot bootloader
Flash factory image: flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh
3) Install TWRP
Boot into recovery: fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-1-fastboot-marlin
In TWRP, flash TWRP twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.1.1-1.zip
Reboot into TWRP
4) If coming from prior version of Magisk, flash Magisk-uninstaller-20170928.zip
*) If you want, flash a compatible custom kernel, like ElementalX-P-2.02.zip
5) Flash Magisk into TWRP: Magisk-v14.3(1437).zip
6) Reboot into system (and tap on Do Not Install)
7) Install Magisk Manager if missing: com.topjohnwu.magisk.apk
8) In Magisk Manager settings, enable Magisk Hide, and Systemless Hosts
9) Reboot
10) In Magisk Manager, in Magisk Hide, select your bank app, Play Store, and GSF (Android Pay should be already selected).
11) Reboot
Here we go, you should be able to add your card in Android Pay, use AdAway and download Netflix.
I did not make a factory reset.
Works with 8.0.0 (OPR3.170623.008, Oct 2017) and latest October safetynet
Also works with Pure Nexus ROM
Enjoy!

You don't need the April factory image. Use Chainfire's bootsigner.

This. Stop with the "use the old bootloader" stuff. Use the boot signer. You need it with ElementalX anyway, at least until it's incorporated into his kernel process (it might be already; I haven't looked in a few weeks)

Hi all,
With the activation of Android Pay in Canada, I was looking for a solution that pass the safety net with open bootloader, root, and modified host file. The information about was very partial at best, so I thought writing a guide is a good idea. Here we go:
1) Download all the needed files:

Do not directly link to files. Link to file sources, such as the ElementalX thread for example.

It's why I put "or sign your boot partition".

You're right. It should be better now.

Not a big deal for me, however Magisk Hide and Systemless hosts options are missing.

Oh, and apk mirrors? Why? There is a link in the Magisk thead to the manager.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Do you need to unlock your bootloader before following these instructions? Also will it wipe my (currently stock) device?

Hello,
May be a bit OT but wondering if you are having any issues losing root or passing SaftyNet on June patch and reboots? I assume if Android Pay is working you show certified for PlayStore? I so want to move over after the last SU binary thing...but need reliable root.
Cheers & thanks!

Yes, unlocking the bootloader is required for this process, and unlocking the bootloader wipes the device.

Do you have busy box enabled?

No on BB, my Nexus 6 would just lose root even with core enabled on V12. Had to go back to 11.4 for reliable root. I am more curious as to members results on the modified v12 on our Pixel's...that is my DD. I am still using root 2.79 and April patch for reliability.

I'm on 12 for the pixel. Only magisk and it's been stable for me

Well, I used the boot signer, but when on the newer bootloaders and boot signer I cannot ever restore a backup. It always gets stuck with an error, went back to april and backups work flawlessly

HI, thanks for putting this together.
I followed the steps to the tee, and I'm failing to get Android pay to work. In Magisk v12.0 when I launch the manager and tap to start SafetyNet check I am getting the following error "SafetyNet Failed: CTS profile mismatch".
Any suggestions? I know you just gathered this information and put it all together here but thought I'd give ya a shout and see.
Thanks again!

Hello, are you on April or the new June patch and what kernel?
Thanks

April bootloader

I'm using June stock btw. (Att user not that it matters but I grabbed the correct ROM).
Yes, I enabled magisk hide. Android pay was already selected like you said, I found Google play and checked marked that. Rebooted.
I downloaded root checker and blocked it using magisk hide and hide does appear to be working. Still having issues with safetynet . Looks like others too, I tried a few things like disabling USB debugging, installer busy box, Several reboots. Nodda.
I'm old school custom ROM installer but don't mess much with kernels. How do I know if the kernel is installed correctly? I haven't seen anything after the initial install. Seems when I have in the past I had a way of cusomtizing it. Feel like that might be my problem I can try to reflash it. But looked good during install.

Hello,
This was one of the issues I had with V12 on my N6. Only difference was both root & SaftyNet were hit or miss(binding Busy Box can cause root issues). As far as the kernel goes I believe the stock kernel will not work so you would need to flash Elemental or other custom. If you did do this, you can try clearing cache in TWRP then reboot and check SaftyNet again.
Cheers

followed the steps exactly (coming from stock, unrooted june update) and after the final reboot into system, i check Magisk Manager and it says magisk is not installed.
edit ran through again, but did not flash twrp again after flashing elementalx, and that did the trick. also don't think boot signer is needed on the latest 1.12 elementalX, it said it was already patched.
