I can't root. - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

I started using Invicta OS on my G4 Plus. I wanted to root so I tried to flash Magisk v14.
It seemed to be done without any errors, but once booted, there is no magisk app and not rooted.:crying:
Did i do something wrong?

InvictaOS is prerooted. Just enable it in Dev. Option.
Magisk zip in TWRP also needs Magisk Control App (Google it for download link and sideload it).
Superuser.zip flash in TWRP and phh Superuser apk from Play store are second option.
SuperSU 2.82 zip flash in TWRP is 3rd option (includes SuperSU app)

You can install ElementalX kernel on InvictaOS since it's based on LineageOS, absolutely correct :good:

Not working, flashed beta SuperSU from chainfire thread, now working perfectly.
Did you flash supersu in systemless mode? For me it won't even try to boot. I have to restore boot from a twrp backup to boot again.

MAGISKSU for Magisk users

So as we all know magisk does not root nonrooted or supersu rooted devices (atleast not my devices) so here is simple method to gain MagiskSU Root access and possibly hide your root.
Note: i will use phh's superuser which was used in magisk before.
COMPATIBILITY:
ANDROID 7.x -- Not confirmed
ANDROID 6.0.1 -- Confirmedly working!
1) DOWNLOAD PHH'S SUPERUSER https://superuser.phh.me/
2) BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND FLASH DOWNLOADED ROOT ZIP AND MAGISK IF NOT FLASHED ALREADY
3) REBOOT AND ENJOY

MagiskSU works just fine without flashing anything else for me

Ok so this is not the correct procedure for getting Magisk to work, this is exactly how it's done in my case at least.
1. Flash a rom of your choice ( in my case it was viper rom on the HTC 10, rooted with SuperSU, I have an international unlocked device with S-Off)
2. Extract the boot.img from your ROM ( in my case it was in the root of the rom's zip file)
3. Copy the boot.img to your Fastboot folder on your computer.
4. Install Magisk Manager and download Magisk 12.0 zip to your phone.
5. Reboot to download mode and then: fastboot flash boot boot.img allow it to flash, press power to come out.
6. Without rebooting, boot to recovery and flash the Magisk 12.0 zip.
7. Reboot and check the 3 sections to see if MagiskSU has been locked in, no warning should come up when activating Magisk hide.
Done.

I tried this on Stock 7.1.1 and it went well. First, I uninstalled the SuperSU by full unroot, and rebooted to TWRP recovery, flashed magisk installer zip and installed Magisk manager.

I can't say what else would help sorry, those are the exact steps I followed and they worked.
Perhaps you could post in the Magisk part of the forums with some info about your device and see if someone could help.

This is a magisk issue and shouldn't be posted here
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
I had the same problem till I went to twrp recovery and flashed the zip that magisk downloaded and it works great. Only problem left on the side is trying to get Xposed to work again through the new magisk on H918 Super Rom, it's not working ATM but I think it's fixable somehow I guess. Magisk is effecting all phones, not just V20 btw.
Check out the video about the API and safetynet by the YouTuber HighOnAndroid. That video let's u know what's up with magisk the day before new magisk update came.
Is it possible that someone backup and share with me boot partition, and from my side I recover it ?!
I'm running:
ROM: RR-0-v6.1.0-h990-Unofficial
Kernel: Gamma Kernel v26.0.0
Magisk: v17.1
Magisk Manager: v5.9.1
I'm not on stock, but i had no error or problems installing it.
Are you on stock or?
I was able to directly install Magisk 17.1 from Magisk itself without issues.

Have you tried another kernel?
Anyone could test sixaxis compatibility checker?
(free on store)
Only on h990ds. 910 and other never were affected by this problem with previous magisk.
Dont know if v17 solved this problem.
Thanks

Tried D.O.T.S and failed, bootloop
I am thinking if someone can backup the boot and share it with us. So we can recover it
Regards..
Has anyone found a way to make 17.1 work on the H990DS? It took me several flashes to get it to boot but after a couple restarts it started bootlooping again so I had to downgrade to 16 and 16 works just fine
Just stay on v16 until they can work the bugs out with v17 -- you aren't gaining anything by going to v17.

Material version as system app doesn't work
Could you write your bootloader, twrp, magisk and magisk manager versions, maybe additional modules you use like audio compatibility?
