Z3 - Working Magisk

EDIT: Unfortunatelly this is not working any more due to recent SafetyNet updates
Hello everyone. This is first guide i'm trying to write here so don't be to harsh for me also sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
After almost 3 days of messing with various roms and kernels i finally managed to successfully installl Magisk V6 on my Z3 D6633 (yes, Pokemon Go 0.37 works too ) .
First of all you need unlocked bootloader. Without it you won't be able to flash custom kernel. Also, if your kernel is still locked, and you want to unlock it remember that doing so will wipe all data from your device, so backup everything that is important to you prior to following this guide.
This is the setup that works for me:

Magisk v6 - The Universal Systemless Interface by topjohnwu:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
Here are the steps:
1. flash rom with 6633 patch, reboot
2. full unroot and clean in SuperSU, reboot
3. flash kernel, reboot
4. flash Magisk V6 and PHH root, reboot
5. install PHH root from play store and Magisk Manager
I used SafetyNet Helper to verify if SafetyNet is working several times during all those steps:
after 1 - not working,
after 2 - working,
after 3 - working,
after 4 - not working,
after 5 - not working,
after disabling root in Magisk Manager - working.
Hope it helps someone

Hi,
For this tutorial I still need the unlocked bootloader?
Regards!

ask the following I
is a LB or UB requirement ?
If the Rom matter as long as the kernel is flashed ?
If the whole with D6603 ?
Thanks for your tutorial

I haven't try with locked bootloader, because I unlocked mine a while ago, but in the kernel thread there is info that unlocked bootloader is required. It might be possible to do it with other roms, as long as they work with Advanced Stock Kernel from the link in first post. D6603 should work too, only difference is that you don't need dual sim patch for SLiMM 3.1 rom

I must have had a similar problem to you originally, I had a working D6603 with a Rooted Marshmellow 6 Rom.
Then, performed the following Steps;
1. Unroot (Inside the SuperSU App)
2. Booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk - v6
3. Then Flashed phh 's systemless superuser
I rebooted the phone and now it is not working. Does not Boot, Black Screen.
The Led will flash red quickly and I am not able to boot into TWRP.
I can see the Phone is Recognised by the Computer (S1 /SOMC Flash Device in Device Manager.)
Could someone please post step by step instructions to restore a to Marshmellow Rom (Any)?
Will I have to download an Image and a Flashtool?

same problem here. I manage to boot to twrp by flashing back the recovery image using fastboot.

Resolved using Emma. I installed the S1 SOMC Flash Device Drivers and I was able to download lollypop.
I will attempt now to reinstall recovery, new rom, and Magisk

Guide helped alot thanks!
Important part was to uninstall SuperSU. Before that ROM appeared to reject the kernel or vice versa, but now it boots on Fragment ROM and unmount seems to work!
Better be worth unlocking the BL

Just flash stock kernel with flashtool.

This Process worked for Me - D6603
1. flash SLIM Rom 6603 and reboot
2. Disable SuperSu, Unroot SuperSu, Boot to Recovery and Wipe Davilk, Reboot
3. Reboot to Recovery, Flash Advanced Kernel, Reboot
4. Flash Magisk V6 and PHH root, Reboot
5. install PHH Super from play store and Magisk Manager

Thanks for the tuto.
Of course you need to have Unlocked Bootloader, this is the principle of flashing a custom kernel. And systemless root like magisk needs custom kernel. With LB you will not boost after flashing a custom kernel.

thnx for this workaround. if you follow it to the letter, you should be fine, else it won't work, and you still get "cts profile match: false"
( it cost me 2 attempts because i flashed the kernel directly)

finally there is someone who desire to create specific systemless method with magisk for xperia device line
unfortunately I've tried earlier than this thread exist so I have to clearance to noob xperia user, here's my post
ryandxter said:
well well I'm here just to give specific classification / explanation about what is this projects do
I'm here to say that this method is about modifying boot partition to make systemless works (correct me if I'm wrong), since my device was Xperia Z3 then this require "unlocked bootloader" for any Xperia device in case to use custom boot.img script from this projects... please please OP underline this before another people from Xperia users with locked bootloader flash this projects, thanks
I'm already tried on myself almost hardbricking my phone and this isn't funny

that's mean xperia device line (no exception) need to be Unlocked Bootloader before flashing magisk otherwise the'll soft brick
hi mr @kotlin can you add this to OP for specific clarification?

Yes I installed Systemless Xposed from magisk thread, it works like a charm, hadn't any problems Did you followed all the steps? It's order is very important. You have unlocked bl? I just put info in op that it is necessary. For me toggle root was greyed out when i didn't properly flashed magisk to kernel, or after restoring kernel. Try to make backup and follow the steps again.

I'm coming from Xperia Z... not z3
can't be sure if the problem is coming from different advance stock kernel...
Thanks for sharing the steps...I will try again when I have time...

I finally got it working after several attempts. Everyting went well with unlocking the bootloader and installing the rom.
In magisk manager i got Selinux toggle working for me. I just cant use the root toggle. The toggle is on, and if i want to disable it it says: magisk manager is granted superuser acces. Then it turns the toggle back on. Should i not grant SU acces to the magisk manager or is there another problem?

I've had this working a while and even used Android Pay for the first time. However Viper4Android doesn't seem to be working well and sounds are too quiet do any existing mods still work or would they break SafetyNet?

Magisk hell resolved??!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!!!!??

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 USING MAGISK UNINSTALLER basically you have to also install an older version of supersu and it has to be an aroma installer and install as SYSTEM 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
sidenote:this supersu does work with magisk not installed and definately keeps root
(stock boot.img is in initial zip for custom rom) select intall imgs in twrp and flash the boot partition as needed)
ALSO YOU CAN ALWAYS DIRTY FLASH CUSTOM ROM same build or higher IF ALL GOES TO **** AND WONT LOOSE APPS OR DATA AT LEAST ON RR

works for me without problems after last 2 years on any Rom.
dont know what you doing wrong?!

How can I root my Moto g4 plus correctly?

I tried all methods which are there on site but each time same and only problem is coming that is my phone is not getting rooted correctly I tried so many times but when I'll check with root checker it says it's not rooted but I successfully unlocked bootloader but I can't complely root it, can someone help me?

What device do you have and what ROM are you running?
If you're rooting on the stock Motorola ROM, do you have TWRP flashed/booted, then flashed ElementalX? Afterwards, what root managers are you using? You could try magisk 16 or 15.3. However, if you've previously used SuperSU or another root manager, you may have to re-flash the original stock kernel (then flash ElementalX then root) to remove any remainders of the old root managers, else they may interfere with magisk to the point of the root not being stable.

I have Moto g4 plus XT 1643 and I tried to root with by using twrp latest version and lineage os 14.1 athene. The was working fine but my phone is still showing that this device is not rooted

What root manager are you using? The official Lineage OS (as of Jan 2017) does not come with a root manager, you must download and flash your own. You could either use the Lineage_SU_addon (you'd want the arm variant for 14.1) or magisk or SuperSU as a root manager.

I am new in this so I don't know that much details so can you help me by giving me link so that I can go through step by step and try to do what you are saying

Hi I'm new to XDA Forums, I was searching for posts about rooting my Moto g4 Plus. I would like to know Why we should flash a kernel before flashing SuperSU or Magisk ? Nb: I just only want the root access. Not in a plan to flash a custom rom. Thanks in Advance.

The stock Motorola kernel in stock Nougat ROMs appears to have anti rooting measures included (I think DM Verity?) If you attempt to root on this stock Nougat kernel, you'll likely soft brick/bootloop your device.
A custom kernel (e.g. elementalX v2.0.1 for stock) does not have these anti rooting defences, so it's safer to root with magisk. I would recommend magisk as super SU hasn't been updated in some time.
It appears that this need to flash a custom kernel before rooting applies to Nougat stock ROMs; marshmallow stock ROMs and the Oreo soak test stock ROM appear not to require a custom kernel.
As an aside, custom kernels and root are not necessary to flash custom ROMs. The only tools you require are an unlocked bootloader and the correct TWRP. The kernels included with these custom ROMs may also have anti rooting measures disabled, so it's safer to directly root without having to use a custom kernel.

D802 any root methods are not working!

hi ppl
it was rooted before. used twrp and some custom roms. but later it unrooted somehow.
I tried flashing super su, magisk and ioroot. supersu and magisk turn with an error msg
io root made it stuck on bootloader animation so I flashed a backup.
how to root it?
thx in advance

1) flash latest twrp http://www.gregtwallace.com/lgg2-projects/twrp/ - then reboot into twrp
2) made absolutely all wipes incl internal and data (delete all stuff) - then reboot into twrp
3) connect to usb - and simply copy rom, gapps, and root solution what you want to flash
latest stable magisk for twrp - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
latest supersu for twrp - Recovery Flashable.zip http://www.supersu.com/download
3) flash the rom what you wanted and flash gapps
3) flash magisk or supersu
(if android 7.1.2 or higher of course - I recommend magisk, because of working nfc pay features, a lot of great systemless addons etc...)
if you prefer old lollipop rom (for example CloudyG2_3.3 ) - it supersu only.
This is the correct sequence - which will eliminate problems with the firmware. If you deleted and installed the root earlier (as you say)

You will spend a couple of 1-2 hours only on installing (and setting) completely all applications. It is not so difficult. But it will save you from a bunch of nonsense questions...
If you actually don't have TWRP recovery installed or old Kit kat Rom - this is absolutely another question and the instructions will not work for you. Also, Kit Kat and Lollipop based ROMs does not support Magisk - because of this error.

thx bro. I did all the steps but it seems same problem going on. sure I want the latest of everything. better updated all. so, using the latest twrp, I wipe all data then format all data then again wipe everything
this aosp rom and gapps worked perfectly. then flashed teh magisk but again its unrooted.
it installs magisk perfectly but root checker says its not rooted. anyway thx for help
btw, aosp rom android 9 has a bluetooth bug. giving a bluetooth stopped message every 10 seconds.

so any advice anout that problem?

you must grant root permission when popup (magisk) appears.
its not automatically
popup similar as in supersu
root works excellent on d802 with Magisk
for example Es File Explorer or any Root Checker

I used supersu and it turned out to be "certification verify" problem. OS not running because of this problem but says rooted. so I can still reach twrp but it really become annoying. this is my old phone and will use as 2nd in my Thailand trip soon.
what to do now? can I use unrooted with a sim card? with no problem?

Please, don't use this nonsense "overquoting" when you answer to someone. Have some respect to the forum rules, and users.
if you want stable rom for LGG2-D802 flash
1) aosp extended based on 7.1.2 or 8.1 versions of Android.
2) flash gapps nano
3) flash magisk zip
4) after rom starts - do the first quick settings - then open Magisk (and if needed update the Magisk manager)
Do not flash both (supersu and magisk) risk to brick the phone.
"device not certified" messege will be always if you use Supersu. It's obviously. Using supersu you unable to use apps like Google pay or any banking apps, because of system root.
Magisk is systemless solution, that's why Google do not recognize Magisk's root. And Play Store on about screen always show "Your device is certified". Also you can Hide root from some apps using Hide option in Magisk manager (it's very useful for local banking apps).
I have a suspicion that you used an older version of Android KitKat (official). And now you try to flash a new Rom (above the Android 7.1.2+). You can't do this. Because you must have Lollipop bootloader. You must be an Android Lillipop first. And then (get Root, then TWRP). And after all that - you will be able to flash some of Rom we are talking about.

Magisk is systemless solution, that's why Google do not recognize Magisk's root. And Play Store on about screen always show "Your device is certified". Also you can Hide root from some apps using Hide option in Magisk manager (it's very useful for local banking apps).
I have a suspicion that you used an older version of Android KitKat (official). And now you try to flash a new Rom (above the Android 7.1.2+). You can't do this. Because you must have Lollipop bootloader. You must be an Android Lillipop first. And then (get Root, then TWRP). And after all that - you will be able to flash some of Rom we are talking about.

just opened recovery mode and deleted all the zips. and copied new ones and flashed in order
1) aosp extended 8.1
2) open gapps nano for 8
3) magisk beta (yes this time I tried beta ver and it worked!)
after settings etc. checked with root checker and it was ok. so magisk.apk is not necessary now

Root and Magisk

History:
After I change the kernel I lost the root! Then I tried to update the Magisk to version 18 and the Magisk Manager to a most recent version that I don't remember its version.... But my phone continued without root.
Trying to solve this again I install Magisk 16.3 and Magisk Manager 5.6.4 downloading and installing the files available in this link: https://www.stechguide.com/download-magisk-v16-3/
Without success too!

So, darlings.
I'm asking for a tutorial to uninstall all the Magisk things of my phone (if you experts think it is necessary) and I'm asking for a tutorial to root again my phone with Magisk.
And I'm also asking to know the latest STABLE version of Magisk and of Magisk Manager COMPATIBLE with my phone and that will work well!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) with [ROM][C9 Pro Port][N900X] AspireTeam C9 Pro v5.0 [18.5.18][Aroma/Smooth/Modded] installed.
Thank you so much!!!

First, Magisk is one of the most documented tools on xda, has its own official forum and especialy its official releases on GitHub (where all versions are available). It's useless to get it elsewhere.
Second, Magisk will only do his magic on an already flashed kernel. If you flash kernel after Magisk, you won't get root.
Third, Magisk flashable zip contains the corresponding Manager and will inject it systematically.
Finaly, you need TWRP for a successful flash of Magisk. With other custom recoveries, errors like "can't find the boot image" can happens.
Now, for a complete removal of Magisk from the system, you only have to flash the latest official uninstaller.
After reboot, go to recovery, flash your prefered kernel then flash Magisk. The latest stable version is v18 and will work well on your rom.
