Z17S (NX595J) and Magisk - ZTE Nubia Z17 Questions & Answers

Hi.
I've just received a brand new Nubia Z17S and have found a problem when trying to flash Magisk.
I've been able to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. Then, after formatting data and rebooting again, I've flashed Magisk 16.0, since I had the zip file on a flash drive. My idea was to update to the latest Magisk release later from Magisk Manager.
Magisk 16.0 appears to flash correctly, and the superuser feature works fine, but Magisk log shows a mount error and Magisk isn't activated. So I have a rooted phone, but I can't pass SafetyNet check. If I try to flash the universal Safetynet module, Magisk throws an error and from TWRP it says Magisk sisn't installed, which is right (it's installed but unable to activate).
To check if a newer version solves the issue, I've tried to upgrade to Magisk 17.1 from Magisk Manager. It seems to install fine, but then the phone only boots into fastboot mode, over and over again, and never gets to start Android. I've had to flash a stock rom from the emergency recovery mode, flash TWRP and Magisk 16.0 again. Now I have a rooted phone but Magisk stays unusable.
Has anyone here been able to make Magisk 17.1 work on Z17S? Or should I stick to 16.0 until a fixed version is released?
Thanks.

Hi, I forgot to mention I was finally able to flash Magisk 17.3.
In order to do so, I had to wipe everything and revert to the latest stock rom, v 1.11, and then I flashed TWRP again and flashed Magisk 17.3 from there. The first time the phone booted, it got stuck on the "Be yourself" message. But then, after wiping data, the phone finally booted, and Magisk is working fine. The phone is rooted and I pass the SafetyNet check.

June update Pure Nexus and Magisk v12&13 - No root?

Coming from the latest paranoid android build; did a complete clean flash, including format data.
Flashed June Vendor
Flashed June (6/12) Pure Nexus and Beans Gapps.
Flashed June (6/5) Flash Kernel
Flashed Magisk (I started with V12 and app version 4.x.x and when that didn't work, I used the uninstaller and tried the beta V13 and app version 5.x.x.)
Neither attempt had root but Magisk showed it as installed. In the Magisk app, in the side drawer, the uppermost choice is missing where it shows "Properly rooted", MAGISKSU:8, and Safetynet Check button. There is, however, a safety net check on the default page which fails.
I later flashed the latest beta of SuperSU (after again running the uninstaller) and it's partially working, some apps show no root but apps like Titanium Backup show root and work fine.
Is anyone getting root with Magisk on June PN? Am I doing something wrong or flashing in the wrong order?
I would like system root with Magisk, are there other steps I need to take?
Will report the magisk/supersu bugs to their proper locations as well.
Thanks for any help.
Don't use the latest beta app 5 it for me had issues when I switched back to last stable magisk app (4.33) all was working again. I've flashed magisk 12 zip before and after kernel both with success. If root doesn't work after booting up first time go back to recover and flash magisk zip again.
flashed without flash kernel, just bean gapps and Supersu 2.82 SR1.... everything working fine here.
You should really flash the vendor after everything like the kernel to be safe but that isn't an option.

Also, my rom comes with magisk prebuilt so for me it is rom with magisk then beans gapps then kernel then other mods then vendor.

Magisk 13.1 working for anyone?

Hi all,
My system was working fine with Magisk v12, I saw there was a big new update, I was interested and updated.
But using the latest Magisk Manager, it says root is not detected.
It's not a big problem, I will restore back to v12 for now, but did anyone else get it working?
Thanks
Asus zenfone 2 flash update manual Magisk 13.1 crash recovery recovery then AD
Same here with Xperia XZ. With v13.1 Root is not detected. v12 is working fine.
Have tried to reinstall it by completely removing and flashing from TWRP, but still no luck.
13.1 and 13.2 working on 7.1 with repacked stock kernel with drmfix fix. It will also work with newest genesis kernel
I upgraded Magisk 12 to 13 beta, then 13.1 and 13.2 without problems.
Even SafetyNet Check passes.
I'm using genesis-nodrm kernel.
Hmm... I was on back on v12, everything fine, I see the 2 above posts saying it is working.
So I flashed 13.2 in TWRP, installed the latest manager app, but still 'magisk not installed', 'not rooted'.
2 say it works with genesis, 1 of them say also with stock...
For me with stock, it's not working.

Did you try to flash a clean boot.img first so magisk 12 is completely uninstalled instead of flashing back and forth over the same boot.img. Pretty sure I read people on different devices sometimes had to do this, or use the magisk uninstaller. Flashing the clran boot.img first is ofc preferred.

Ok I'll try that.
I believe I flashed v13.2 straight over v12.
But when downgrading back to 12, I did flash the uninstaller first.
I'll try uninstalling and then updating
- Still no luck, it didn't work.
I tried updating Magisk 12 -> 13.1 thru the manager, and it would download the zip then do nothing. I found the zip in the Magisk directory, and installed it like it was a module, thru the manager, and it appeared to work. I got the new Magisk Manager (5.0.4) and it says I'm on Magisk 13.1 but that Magisk is not installed, and there is no root.
Following the installation instructions, I rebooted a few times, no change. So I flashed Magisk uninstaller, cleared cache/davlik, and rebooted. Uninstalled Magsick Manager. Rebooted. Booted to TWRP and flashed Magisk-13.1.zip. Rebooted twice. Same issues; Manager 5.0.4 says I'm on Magisk 13.1 but that it's not installed, no root.
Finally I had to flash Magisk uninstall, reboot, uninstall magisk manager. Reboot TWRP, flash magisk-12 installer, reboot, sideload magisk manager v4.3.3, just to get Magisk 12 back.

I didn't have to reboot after flashing magisk uninstaller, I just flashed v12 straight after.
And I just uninstalled the new magisk manager then the old one right away, I think?
Magisk manager 13.1 not working for me either tried installing thru app but it does not work

Also it might be related to this - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/166#issuecomment-298765812
"Use rootkernel tool from tobias.waldvogel to fix drm instead of PoC TA fix. It seems to be incompatible to Magisk while rootkernel tool patched images work"
I swapped over to Genesis kernel (1.05, the current latest) to try and see if it would help my device pass safety net, since for some reason it is not passing anymore (I tried lots to fix it, flashing etc)
As I posted directly above, it looks like Magisk v13 doesn't like ta_poc, so I used the drmfix version, and Magisk v13.3 works great, and once again my device passes safety net

Rooting OREO (41.3.A.2.24)

I was waiting for a root enabler for oreo (41.3.A.2.24), and I could find https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x-performance/how-to/guide-stock-kernel-root-twrp-drm-fix-41-t3711837.
But this link is for version 41.3.A.0.401 and it does not work for everybody including me.
Since androplus still didn't bring out a new version of his kernel I tried the method from the above link.
But I'm using newer versions than in the description, I use TWRP 3.2.0, Magisk manager 5.2.2 and Magisk 15.2.
I can install the new version, twrp, the new boor image and Magisk 15.2.
I can boot and Magisk runs but the Safetynet control failes and Magisk does not enable root.
On the installation of the boot image, twrp and magisk I got some messages (marked in red)
unable to mount storage
failed to mount
Before I tried with magisk manager 5.5.1 and magisk 15.1 but then I got stuck at boot time at the sony logo.
Does anybody have a way to root Oreo (the latest version), enable DRM and enable root?
Ok I started all over again and I noticed I didn't follow the procedure first time.
So I excluded the FOTA kernel but whatever else I check no full wipe is done, I can always see the previous installed apps, it does not matter if I check Cust-reset, master-reset or reset-wipe-reason, the system is not wiped.
So that's my first problem, how to wipe the previous install.
Flashing the rom seems to be OK, same thing for flashing boot_oreo.img and twrp-3.1.1-0-dora.img.
I'm not sure about twrp 3.2.0.0 because this version is off-line now, so I tried with TWRP 3.1.1.0 and 3.2.1.0 but they all gave me the same result.
Problems start when I have to flash drmfix.zip, safety-net cleaner or magisk 15.2. The procedure tells me the flash is ok but have a look at thet attached images, I get errors while flashing. One picture for drmfix, one for safety-net-cleaner and one for magisk 15.2
After flashing all of this I can boot successfully but when I try to get root in ES File Explorer pro, it does not work. When I go into Magisk and try the afety-net check I get ctsProfile false and basicIntegrity False.
So the rom does work but I do not get root.
I tried all of this with the Italian rom 41.3.A.2.24.R1E ? I can start all over again with the UK version 41.3.A.2.24.R2E but I do not know if this makes any sense.
So can anybody tell me what to do to get it all going?

1 - Do use always Adrian DC latest fully working TWRP build for dora.
2 - You don't need a 3rd party kernel to achieve that, instead, you can easily create your own one, based always on stock kernel!
Thats the SELinux's problem.
Flash this first then flash magisk

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?!

Update to 9.0.16 not able to use Magisk-root ?

Hi All, I was on 9.0.14 and now I installed the latest OOS 9.0.16 through TWRP. All went well except i flashed magisk root.
I flashed the latest magisk 19.3 and 19.1 and all got me stuck on oneplus loading screen the red circle and white circle turning infinitely.
Then i tried magisk 18.1, everything loaded fine but magisk seems to be causing errors and not rooted. as i tried to grant nova launcher root, the app freezed and got stuck and force closed.
Also other apps that requires root are not able to request root.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
What update file did you use? Full?
Did you wipe cache/dalvik?
Did you reapply twrp, then magisk?
At least that's what I did and it worked (and still does).
What twrp version?
OOs 9.016 + Magisk 19.3 (+ xXx 7.7 + Omega Kernel) working here for 2 weeks without any problems.
My suggestion would be to reboot in recovery (TWRP), reflash full OOs.zip, flash TWRP.zip, reboot in recovery (TWRP), repeat all this once more then flash Magisk 19.3 Zip and reboot system.

I did as you suggested and had the same issue stuck at oneplus circles. I then tried to flash 18.1 it made me boot back into the system but root not working just magisk manager with just 2 options, in the menu side, settings magisk and settings.
Then I would try to start from scratch.
Means wipe everything, flash full OOS and then magisk.
@Shady282
Have you got it fixed? I am in the same situation and its frustrating that I am still unable to get root.
Tried flash magisk 19.4 canary no success. Still stuck in bootloop.

Hmm sorry, do 't remember.
I guess it was the latest Twrp at that time, I switched to op7 non-root for a while now...
the 6t was derooted and given to my s.o.
