Try reflashing the zip from the recovery. When I was updating magisk by the recommended method it breaks, and I had to reflash every time I installed a module. Then i started using the soldier9312's custom ROM and magisk Here: www soldier9312 de (cant post links)

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

"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

Help with installing Magisk on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V

I have read many threads and lots of videos and cannot seem to get the Magisk installed.
I have flashed back to stock many times with (N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5) in order to try multiple methods.
Rooted with Arabictoolapp - used rootchecker to verify/application also says true for root
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...guide-ob6-of1-root-bootloader-unlock-t3439010
installed SU from playstore to unlock bootloader using the adp method - shows developer mode to verify - using eMMc to verify CID starts with 15
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
installed twrp using official twrp app & also tried ODIN in another trial (picked verizon americas and got twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img )
turned phone off and boot into recovery to verify; at this time i created a recovery
using MagiskManager i downloaded the zip (Magisk-v18.1.ip) and flashed using twrp - no errors but when i restart the phone it says Magisk not installed
next attempt was to extract the boot.img from the stock OF1 and then flash the Magisk - no errors but when i restarted the phone it says the same thing - Magisk not installed
another attempt was to patch the boot.img and got a patch_boot.img then using TWRP i flashed the patch_boot.img - restarted and magisk not installed
after further digging, i tried another method which was to unroot using SU, reboot, go into recovery to then install Magisk - magisk not installed
*note each attempt to install Magisk unrooted my phone
*was able to use Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip to uninstall Magisk manager from recovery - icon went away
anyways i am completely stuck now. any suggestions or comments on my approach?

Did you uninstall SU before trying to install magisk. The two together may cause conflict.

Try twrp 2.8.7 hltevzw. You are using the stock ROM which is android 5. Twrp 3.1 and higher is for android 7 and up. I missed that the first time I read your post.

Yes. Are you installing Magisk .zip in twrp and installing Magisk Manager APK after normal reboot?

what do you mean after normal reboot? so flash magisk in twrp. reboot. reboot again then install magisk manager? do you know what version of magisk i should run and where i can find the dl link?
What he means is you install the Magisk ZIP via TWRP in Recovery mode, reboot the phone, then you install Magisk Manager via the APK.
Go to magiskmanager dot com website which has the ZIP installer plus the APK for the Manager.
I only just recently tried to tackle this challenge. I also installed 0F1 with Odin, then rooted with Arabic. I was messing with Pokemon go and it wasn't happy I was rooted. I downloaded magisk manager, installed it that way. At reboot, angry message from Verizon that I have custom software and phone won't boot. I assume this is because I didn't install custom recovery.
If you figure a way to get this done, I will be grateful. One thing I don't quite follow. Magisk is a root method...so should we really be rooting the phone prior? Seems redundant and going against the whole point of magisk. Right?
I wanted to play around with spoofing GPS with PGO which requires making a GPS spoofer a system app (need root for that). Is that still possible using magisk?
I'll post any updates I have as well.

Magisk + Viper4droid

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

cts profile fail

i went from stock everything, oem unlock, fastboot install of twrp fajita, flash stock rom downloaded from oneplus, then magisk
then i was having an issue with magisk , viper audio wasnt working properly
restarted to recovery, meant to wipe dalvik but pressed something else and borked the phone.
wiped everything, re installed the twrp recovery, re flashed zip. re flashed magisk again
now, i have to turn on magisk hide ( to pass cts profile ), which is something i never had to do before and i cant find netflix on the play store.
what can i do to correct the cts profile fail please.
Use this module: Magisk Hide Props Config
It requires: BusyBox, installer in this thread first post.
To activate the module and chose your new certified fingerprint you will need a terminal emulator, you can use any one you want really, personally I use this one.
Any questions ask.
Hi
I tried this, everything went through smoothly enough but it did not resolve the issue. To be clear this is what i did.
downloaded the magiskhide props module, installed through magisk
downloaded the busybox installer , installed through magisk
restarted
opened terminal, ran command 'props'
went through the process or redoing the files for the fingerprint reader according to make and model of my phone.
restarted
disabled magiskhide in magisk
restarted
still failing cts
did i miss something
it also mentioned that i am using a custom rom, i am using a stock rom downloaded from oneplus. i have unlocked the bootloader and am rooted using magisk .
do i need to re download and start again?

Why are you disabling this? You need Magisk hide enabled. I rename Magisk as well. My phone passes safetynet and CTS. On the latest version of Magisk MagiskHide is off by default, it used to be on by default. TopJohnWu announced that a while back here.

In recent versions when you choose hide and it picks a random name for the Magisk Manager app it lets choose a name for the app instead of just Manager.
