problem installing magisk - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried a few times to install magisk on my s4 but it doesn't work
I have twrp 3.2.3 installed
android 5.01
sgh-i337m
seems to say it installs, but when it reboots I get a message like
"Unfortunately the phone has stopped working"
If I click ok, the message just comes back and I can do next to nothing. I have once or twice seen a message after this about the samsung keyboard not working. I've tried wiping caches, but I have to do a restore before the phone will work again.
I've tried magisk 18.0 and 17.3 same result.
I'd use an old version of supersu (that I get to work without problems), but I wanted to use a backup utility that requires magisk. I only need the backup for call logs/sms/contacts etc. I can lose the calendar.
Any ideas on installing magisk?
Or if you know of some other way of installing logs/sms/contacts that doesn't require magisk, that would work also.
I want to try a custom rom, but I don't really want to lose the history of this stuff.
Thx
Edit: I should add that at the time I have tried this, the phone was NOT rooted. Supersu had been removed

GT-i19500 worked after being rooted, but stopped after the second or third restart.

Good evening xda-forumers, thank you in advance for any help.
I apologize if this question has been made 1000 times before, but I am kind of new at this. As you can see from the title, I am having problems with my cellphone after rooting it. To be more precise, it started working badly after I tried to to access recovery mode (to make a nandroid backup) and clicked "reboot system now". Now, every time I turn it on, it says "[App name] has stopped" for every app I had previously installed on the phone. Trying to turn off the device gives me the usual "Turn off/airplane mode/reset" window that I normally get.
My phone is an Samsung Galaxy i9500 with Kitkat (I think it was 4.4.2). The programs I managed to install before this were "Titanium Backup Pro" and "BusyBox". Both seemed to work fine.
Did I mess my phone going to recovery mode, or did something else happened?
Yours faithfully,
~BeardedGuy
Rooting shouldn't affect the installed apps. I have rooted several s3 and s4 phones without a problem.
I recommend backing up the data, flashing back to stock ROM, install TWRP, flash supersu from TWRP, restore apps and data.

Flashed xposed framework now wifi doesn't work

I managed to root my device and successfully installed xposed framework, and now I can't get my wifi to work at all.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this other than going all the way back to stock?
I have tried flashing the mm modem. It still doesn't work.
I did notice when I looked in the build prop the WiFi channels are blank?
Is anyone who has wifi working able to see what they normally say?

This happened to me as well. I made sure to have the "uninstall xposed" zip on my phone and flashed that, and after I did so, wifi was OK again. Here are the xposed modules I installed:
flashed: xposed-v82-sdk23-arm64.zip
I never got as far as installing the xposed installer apk, as when I noticed wifi was gone, I flashed the uninstaller:
xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip
I personally used xposed-v81-sdk23-arm64.zip and it seemed to work well without breaking wifi. For what its worth, rooting with the latest SuperSU broke my wifi, but flashing BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip worked out alright.
As far as reverting the changes you've made so far, if you are sure it was xposed that broke your wifi and not SuperSU, then flash the xposed uninstaller. If it may have been something else, just reflash boot and system from a TWRP backup (hopefully you backed up). If for any reason you dont have a backup, download the stock image for whatever version you are currently on, put it on your SD card, then in TWRP, backup your data partition, then flash the firmware zip over, and then restore the data partition backup, and in theory things should work out, no guarantees though.
OK, just flashed the xposed-v81-sdk23-arm64.zip and the wifi is fine. I am getting "unfortunately messenger has stopped" messages now. I've installed Gravitybox for MM. The tweaks seem to be working.

Help with Root and Recovery please!

Hello.
My Galaxy S4 was dying so T-Mobile just replaced it with an S5. It came with:
LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4
I clicked on Software updates in About device and it did whatever updates, but the version stayed the same. Then I went to autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu and downloaded the correct file to root. I unzipped the file and ran Odin 3.10.6 that came with it. I was able to root the device no problem.
What seemed like a problem afterward was that I couldn't find SuperSU in the Application list. I know the phone was rooted though because I could launch Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff from the S4. I went to the Play Store to download SuperSU. It kept complaining that I needed a new binary, but it would fail every time to update. I even tried downloading the latest SuperSU zip to install in the recovery mode, but that failed too. I really wasn't too worried about this.
While looking up how to root the S5, I saw some posts where people mentioned their root access stopped after 24 hours. I just experienced this when I launched Titanium Backup to begin uninstalling bloatware. I was informed that I didn't have root access anymore.
I figured I'd try to reflash the auto-root through Odin. According to Odin, everything passed, but looking at the device, it said it's already patched and the restore failed, so it aborted.
Now the device is stuck in an infinite reboot loop. I can access both the download and recovery modes, but that's it.
I'd really really like to not have to do a factory wipe as it was a pain to get everything copied over from the S4.
Can I flash it with something else?
Once I can get back in the device, how do I keep the device rooted? Do I have to flash TWRP or CWM?
The only root program I use is Titanium Backup and would really really like to keep using it to makr regular backups.
Thanks a lot.
Try booting into recovery and wiping the CACHES
If it still won't boot, grab a stock ROM from sammobile .com for your model S5 (G900T by the looks of the ROM name) and flash it with ODIN from download mode
That won't wipe your data or anything you've restored, as long as you don't reset
If it still won't boot, you might have to suck it up and factory reset after flashing stock
Was the TiBu backup you restored, rooted? Maybe restoring the backup restored an old version of SuperSU and broke the CF AR version
Might need to go down the TWRP and SuperSU from TWRP recovery route to get it rooted properly if CF AR isn't woprking 100%, which it doesn't for a fair few people
I tried clearing the cache, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to download the stock ROM without having to create an account on the download site?
The Titanium Backup I restored was rooted. Everything was totally fine, until I went back to TB and it suddenly told me I wasn't rooted anymore.
I did try TWRP after I made the original post. I think messed up the device, but I can get in now. I flashed the latest version and booted into Recovery Mode. I clicked on Fix Permissions and possibly one other thing. It let booted farther before the infinite bootloop. It'd show my lock screen and give me 1-2 seconds before rebooting. If I swiped quickly, I could see the home screen with most of my icons gone. Clicked on Apps shows most of the apps are gone. When I removed the SIM card, I stopped getting the infinite bootloop. Here are the list of important programs I have left:
Contacts (all cleared out), Gallery (all present), Messages (all present), My Files (shows files from previously installed programs that I can no longer access), Phone (works when I put the SIM card back in), Settings
Unfortunately, TB and the Play Store are both gone. I might be able to install stuff using adb or by copying files over. I haven't tried, but it doesn't look good. I tried reflashing the CF ROM. It didn't change anything. I suspect I may be looking at a factory reset at this point. I'm happy to try any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Wut? lol, just make one, it's free...
XDA does not spoon feed
I created an account and downloaded the stock ROM. I flashed the device and got most of the programs to appear again though the Play Store was still missing. I decided to cut my losses and just do a factory reset. I rooted again and put everything back in place. Now I'm experiencing the problem where I lost root after a day or so of use. I'll start a new thread.
Thanks for your help.

How to Root G935FXXU1DPLT Latest 7.0 Build

Root same way as you rooted marshmallow. Flash twrp, flash supersu 2.79. everything is the same. it will take a while to boot though be patient.
Flash TWRP in Odin
Flash SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip in TWRP
no its not working......After install recovery stuck in Samsung Flashing logo....
TWRP is making the devices get stuck on Samsung logo....
I think what is happening is that when you install only the twrp the encryption of the device conflicts and leaves in bootoolp. When you install twrp and root , root already comes with a tool that takes out the encryption. But if you just want twrp, as was my case, you should, first of all, on your own twrp, wipe data and then flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.
Having root and no encryption sucks. Think I'll wait
Found Some Official Announcement From @Chainfire
Source :- Link
ChainFire Info
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here yet. I've had the stock firmware randomly stop booting even without modifying the boot image (rooting). Others have also reported that just flashing TWRP may trigger a bootloop (which is weird). I have some ideas what the cause may be, but it will be some time before I can properly investigate them.
The only way I seem to reliably get both TWRP and SuperSU working right now is:
- Flash TWRP (3.0.2-5) to recovery
- Immediately boot into TWRP
- If you were encrypted, format /data (ext4) and reboot into TWRP again
- Flash SuperSU v2.79-SR3 in TWRP
- Reboot into Android
The first boot will take a while if you performed that format, but for me it ultimately completes. Note that your device will be running unencrypted at this point!
Of course, if you format /data, you will lose all your data (including contents of internal storage!). Before I flashed the new version, I used FlashFire v0.54-PRE to create a backup of /data and internal storage to the removable sdcard, and restore that backup after flashing DPLT, rooting, and reinstalling FlashFire. This worked fine for me, and all my settings - including fingerprints and system settings - transferred fine. I came from the first Nougat beta, but I've seen others reporting success doing the same thing coming from Marshmallow. As always, your mileage may vary.
Unfortunately, due to this boot-loop issue with DPLT and encrypted data, it is also impossible to use FlashFire to upgrade the firmware itself to DPLT while keeping root if you started with an encrypted device.
I am not sure if the same difficulties exist with other official builds than DPLT, nor if the same problems occur with any of the custom ROMs based on DPLT. The S7 is my daily driver so I don't like to experiment with it too much
Below attach the required Files, I gonna try tomorrow. If anyone tried now please report update.

You can root but you have to disable encryption. Not a fan of that personally so I'll wait for another solution. If I lose my phone at least I'll have secure power up enabled. There is no bypassing that. There are too many FRP exploits on Youtube so having no encryption and simply a password isn't enough in my opinion.

Since you are rooted, uninstall S Health and install a lower version number which doesn't require Knox.

Security log will stop after you launch SU application and let SU to disable knox, it takes me always two attempts, disable, keep trying then i restart smartphone and after restart i try to disable knox again and it works, no more pop ups.
About S Health I'm looking for solution, so far should be enough to install older version set it up and update for new one, problem is that i cannot uninstall old version to get new one working.

S Health is now locked down if you have tripped knox. The only solution is to use an older version.

SuperSU couldn't disable Knox for me after many tries. In the end I just used Titanium to freeze Knox.

Sir thank you, i do not know how it is possible that another apps did not worked but titanium did removed new S Health. Afterwards i did install last version of S Health i found before version 5, After launching S Health and connecting account i did update on new S health and everything works.
You really saved me. Thank you

After restart, some apps stuck

Hello, I have a strange problem, after every reboot of the phone, some apps are not working anymore, they either stuck at the loading screen or force close. For example, Genshin Impact (game) gets stuck, Faceapp force closes, other apps like a banking app and a local provider app are also affected. Clearing cache/data does't help, only reinstalling fixes this.
Open bootloader, rooted, stock rom 11.0.2.2IN11BA, stock kernel, no magisk modules, upgrade from 11.0.1.1 didn't fixed it. Model IN2023, when I got the phone it had the global rom and I installed the eu after rooting. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Are you indeed still rooted? I get this issue if I turn on systemless and then don't reboot.
Or if I lose root if I haven't actually installed the patched image after booting the patched image.
Check to see if you're actually still rooted.
If you are then turn on systemless.

Hello, thank you for your answer, I still have root, just checked. What do I have to do to turn on systemless? Just press on "systemless hosts" in magisk settings?
