Hey everyone,
I`m running LineageOS on my phone and am rooted using SuperSU which seems to work, according to Rootchecker and the feww apps I use, which make use of root privileges.
But I`m not entirely happy with my current situation, since it seems that more and more apps don`t tend to work with my rooted phone. So what are my ways out of this?
Can I easily unroot my phone, while keeping LineageOS?
Is there a working alternative to SuperSU, which would enable me to stay rooted on LineageOS without reflashing the OS and use Banking-Apps?
I`ve heard of Magisk, but I am unsure of how to switch over from my current state and I`am not sure whether or not it would solve my problems
Thanks for any help in advance!!
Magisk
You just have to go to SuperSU, then Full Unroot, then download Magisk 13.3 and flash it from TWRP. After that you should have Magisk Manager, if for some weird reason you don't, install it via apk
Then you just go to the settings, tick MagiskHide, then go back and open the side panel, MagiskHide - select the apps that you want Magisk to hide itself from
So I tried to do what you said.
I did the full unroot in the SuperSu App,
My phone rebooted
I shut it down again and booted into recovery
Tried flashing Magisk
But it failed, apparently due to my Boot image being patched by another program and told me to go with stock image
What do I do now? And will I lose any data by doing so? Thank you so much for any help!
Weird, but you can simply dirty flash LineageOS (the same one that you have now, or an update, doesn't matter) and it should let you install Magisk.
I did what you said and installed a delta update using LineageOS Downloader. Had to manually flash it in TWRP since I had no root permissions anymore. But I was able to install Magisk like a charm! Now I have to questions:
1. How do I update Magisk? Using the app?
2. Do I have to flash it again everytime I'm updating LOS?
Thanks for the great help so far!
And what exactly are those moduls? Should I be messing with them?
If updates come they will appear on the status bar and you can download them, and they'll install with the phone on. after that you have to (not quick) reboot your phone.
and about the modules, seriously? what do you think??
What is the best way to update Magisk on OP6T. Currently running v17.1 and if I would like to update to latest v18, what is the way to do it and not to brick the phone?

You can either update via the Magisk Manager app,or,if you have TWRP,use it to update to the latest Magisk.
FWIW,I have TWRP installed,but,updated using the Magisk Manager app,using the recommended install suggestion given.

I have no TWRP, so I can just install through app and there will be no problem. It will install in the right slot automatically and I will keep root?

Thx for info
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.
Do this update fix the charge problem when the device is off?

Didn't fix it for me.
OS 9.0.7.
TWRP 3.2.3-9
Magisk v18
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.

Or you can also disable the Battery Optimisation for Magisk
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 ?

What is the recommended install suggestion? Only Zip or with Boot image patch?

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.

You're right. If tried the safetynet check on the new one, and after that the new one was removed. Completely strange. I hope someone here knows what to do

What's the recommended option? I have the options flash zip and patch Boot image but there isn't any "recommended" mark

So you just did the direct install option? Also are you running magisk with or without TWRP?

Hi all,
I followed the guide to update a rooted device but it didn't work I lost root. But even after flashing magisk 17, 18 and 18.1 I still can't get root.
Any advice or tips? Are you having the same problem?

That is another strange thing... I don't see the app, but when I want to install it again it says 'Do you want to install the update...' [emoji848] and that fails... [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
Sometimes when you reboot the phone it appears

Any update? I seem in same boat ...on 9.0.12, some root apps work (torbot, liveboot) but AdAway says not rooted. Malwarebytes says rooted. Su command in terminal gets denied.....
This
Blows
As far as magisk manager it disappeared and apk install fails....
Sometimes magisk manager can get hung up in the update and then it doesn't want to let you in. Force stop, and see if i will let you in. Didn't work for me but you never know. I had to get it to where it was refusing to install the update, then while that was up go to settings where I could see it in my apps and uninstall it. Then I just installed it again, DLed the boot image, had magisk patch it, flashed it. The image and instructions are around here somewhere.
Was able to uninstall manager by using settings>apps but still cannot install magiskmanager and reroot attempt still no good. Still stuck.
Try flashing Magisk Uninstaller

No dice.
And originally I did.
Flashed Magisk uninstaller
Flashed OOS update
Flashed TWRP
Rebooted
Flashed Magisk....
No love
I did retry the Magisk uninstaller zip again since you brought it up...but no.
I've even tried the TWRP terminal Magisk module uninstaller to see what is there....only shows Magisk 18.1....which is only sort of there....
The Magisk Manager app must be installed separately from Magisk itself. The zip file does not install the app.

Hi guys!
First of all, please do not send me to somwhere on forum because I have tried dozen of ways do deal with problem. My phone is LG G6 running on android pie. TWRP installed, Magisk installed. Im trying to instal viper4droid. I have tried download module from Magisk itself, I have tried to download .apk file from different sources, I have tried to download .zip file, I have tried to installed as apk itself and grant root accesss, tried by TWRP, tried unify installers and **** knows what else. Trouble is, First few times it was installed but status was "not running", Today after many attempts to deal with that viper4droid installing drivers and.......after each reboot its doing it again. Moreover i have found that sometimes Magisk did not show up the newest version of v4a as a module to download. So......is somebody for the love of god know what the **** is wrong? thank you.

Hi man, there are three versions of viper4ndroid on magisk, try the viper4android fx legacy materialized as normal app after disabling play protect on google playstore. hope this helps
I will try that in a minute mate.
didnt work.
I have the same problem. I switched to viper hifi and now after reboot it is working but after some time it stops till i reboot it again. I think it is because of the pie version, on oreo everything works fine. After every reboot every mofule in magisk reinstalls. For example youtube vanced instals like new and i have to set it up after the reboot.
IIRC it required me to install viperfx (the new version, not legacy or xhifi), audio modification library and audio compatibility patch, have you done that?
I have tried all three version of viper. I have isntalled it as a apk and modules in Magisk. All possible audio patches and compatibilies mods from magisk are intalled as well.

if you still have this problem, try installing viper4android 2.7 as apk from xda lab, I was downgrading back to pie sometimes ago and couldn't get viper to work, besides the 2.7
hey all!
I'm a newb....
I have a rooted 6p with the factory image installed, twrp recovery.
I don't recall doing a backup before rooting.....yeah I know not smart....didn't know what the heck I was doing in this process....never rooted a phone.
I installed Magisk......then in my infinite wisdom installed supersu
the phone for the most part works fine, but I am having a problem running frida, it complains about magisk hide. I have removed all the magisk modules...
I am hoping I can some how clean up this phone and completely remove magisk.....and get frida running.
am I toast without a backup?
what is the best way to completely remove and uninstall magisk.
tried to run magisk install again and also magisk uninstall gives me error 1, which I see there are videos for dealing with on youtube...though haven't gone done that rabbit hole
I am quite comfortable using adb
I see bits of magisk all through the file system, just not sure if I should be deleting as I might be getting myself into more trouble.
TIA
Well if you don't mind starting fresh (backing up all your data) as this would erase everything and set your phone back to "factory stock" on the latest official version from google and its as easy as clicking one batch file to get things sorted. You may have messed up some stuff permanently on your system partition by installing/uninstalling two incompatible root solutions etc.

Direct link to latest file: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-opm7.181205.001-factory-b75ce068.zip
Then you just plug your phone in and run the 'flash-all.bat' file.
