MAGISK root for sprint htc 10?

I have been using TWRP+SuperSU on my HTC 10 (sprint). However, I am not happy not being able to use Android Pay due to root. I searched and found a MAGISK root can do the trick.. I searched and was surprise to find not much of info on this variant.
I only found this: [ROOT] Magisk AutoRoot: Magisk + phh's SuperUser for Nougat (No TWRP required). But that's for the Unlocked version:
Prebuilt Boot Images:
US Unlocked: US_Unlocked_2.28.617.8_boot.zip
I assume I cannot use above boot image for Sprint variant. My question is, where to get this prebuilt boot image for Sprint?
I am on Android 7.0 (2.42.651.6).
Thanks!!

Thank you. I am following the guide you provided..
"If you're not rooted, or something went wrong and you need a clean start
(Recommended) Restore your boot image back to stock
Download the latest Magisk zip file
If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
Flash Magisk zip
Reboot, and update the stub Magisk Manager to the latest from Play Store
"​
Can you please let me know how to Flash Magik zip? I am on Stock Android 7.0 by RUU. Custom Recovery (TWRP) is gone... Downloading to download mode does not have an option to install zip.... Install Magisk Manger gives me this.. Still requires boot image? Thanks.

Try my post from the Bad Boyz ROM thread. I'm pretty sure that covers it all. If you're already RUU'd you can skip that part, but you will need to unlock your bootloader if you haven't already. I think that factory resets the phone. There's another thread on how to do that via HTCDev that should be stickied, but the process is easy.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71341441&postcount=593
Edit: I see you're already in the process on the other thread. Good luck!

Hello I'm on 6.0.1 Bad Boyz and I flash this but it doesnt root my phone, I used un-su.zip beforehand
Edit nevermind I RUU'd to Android 7.0 and flashed Bad Boyz Magisk!!!

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

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.

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.

Android 11 is live.

Today just received update notification as below image. Downloading now, let see what are changes and improvements.

I'm enrolled in beta for Android 11 and got the September Security patch today. Will I get the stable release soon or should I opt out from beta and go for a fresh instal?

Has anyone been able to successfully root using Magisk? I tried and bootlooped.
Edit: Magisk Canary works, but you CANNOT install TWRP as it hasn't been developed to work with A11 yet.

Are you using a custom recovery? TWRP does not work with A11 yet.
Extract the boot image from a factory ZIP and flash it in bootloader:
Code:
fastboot flash boot "boot.img"
Then, boot TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot "twrp.img"
And install Magisk using the canary zip. Please note that you do not use the quotation marks.
Alternatively, you can boot to TWRP and sideload the OTA, then reboot to bootloader, boot TWRP again, and install Magisk.

You must use the Magisk Canary zip on the stock boot image. Regular Magisk will not work.

Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this method.
Start fresh, use the OTA or the factory image. I did this coming from Android 10 without wiping.
Download the Magisk Manager Canary APK and installer ZIP here
Download the latest TWRP image here, put it in your platform tools folder and rename to twrp.img
Using platform tools, reboot your phone into bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then, boot (DO NOT INSTALL) TWRP:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Install the Magisk Canary ZIP, reboot to system.

Yes I am using canary latest, and did everything as you explaining, still getting bootloop. But I will get done sooner or later )

+1 on this method, worked for me, thank you for the instructions

I'm also bootlooping. Did you solve your problem?
I installed through the OTA button. Of course, I lost root, so I followed the above instructions, but am stuck at the G loading.
The canary zip is magisk-debug.zip, correct?
EDIT: I overlooked that I had EdXposed installed with active modules and I don't think it works with Android 11 yet, at least not the modules I use (Gravity box). I'll try rooting again tonight with EdXposed modules disabled.

Yes, both the apk and the zip are named "magisk_debug".
I am not sure why you are bootlooping. If you installed the OTA, it should have overwritten /boot with the stock image, and flashing Magisk Canary should work. It is possible that if you had modules enabled before and didn't disable them, you could have issues.

I disabled the edxposed modules and still got stuck at the G logo. I'm not sure what else I could be doing wrong, but it's obviously me or my setup. I'm going to downgrade to Android 10 because the modifications I rely on from GravityBox are more important to me than the new features of Android 11.
Thanks for the help.

Anyone have luck downgrading from 11 to 10? I've tried several different 10 builds and I get "Error: Slot Unbootable: Load Error" in bootloader.
I used the same commands I always use to upgrade builds:
fastboot flash radio radio-walleye-...img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot update image-walleye-...zip
I can flash 11 again and all is fine, but I haven't been able to go back to 10.

Install TWRP via official app after you have root with magisk?

Hello there, back in the day (2019 in March or April the phone shipped with Android 9) I rooted my galaxy S10+ Exynos with Magisk and stock recovery (because TWRP method did not exist yet or did but non twrp method looked safer, I forgot the reason)
Then I forgot about TWRP and even upgraded to Android 10 like this:
(standard procedure, download android with Friya, then patch ap file with magisk, then flash it with odin)
Well I used my phone as always, forgot about twrp, but always had a little voice in my head telling me, that twrp is good idea, what if something happens, I would at least be able to copy my data)
So I decided to flash twrp, to ease my mind a bit, and also be able to copy apps to /system/priv-app
So I am using Android 10 (see no reason to upgrade, what I need is there I prefer OneUI 2.0 over later versions and I dont want to make my device slower or loose some obscure api function that I dont even know exists until I need it)
Now, can I just use official twrp app and let it do its thing (I have root), or do I need to download twrp with the app, but prepatch it with magisk before I install it? (I read conflicting info, on xda they say you need to prepatch it, while on twrp guide: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys10plus.html
They say to just use the app if you already have root, so I am confused now
It seams using the app is the easiest and most safe method
Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards

well, I gues this did apply to me, because I tried to flash TWRP with the app (latest version: twrp-3.7.0_9-2 that the app offered, it offered 2 files .img or .img.tar, and I chose to flash .img), and now my phone cannot boot, its stuck in download mode it says with red letters
kernel: Could not do normal boot, (DT LOAD failed)
I don't know know what happened, I only flashed recovery, and bootloader is unlocked
adb doesn't work
I cannot even get to recovery
So what now? Can at least flash TWRP somehow back so I can get ot my files (I have most of my videos on an SD card, but 2 or 3 are on internal storage )
I would reflash Android 10 anyway if it wasn't for the files

you can flash recovery.img as tar file but that is useless for backup stock ROM userdata. if you still have the magisk_patched.tar you can flash it to get your data back. don't flash unpatched stock boot.img this will most likely result in data loss.
I would first try older TWRP as DT LOAD failed (device tree) looks like TWRP problem to me.

OK
after installing TWRMP
3.4.0 I got into recovery​
I guess the latest version twrp-3.7.0_9-2 is broken (because I tried flashing from Odin and I got the same error
but 3.4.0 works now
Well then I got into a non rooted android state (I couldnt boot into the rooted one because if I held volume up I just got into TWRMP)
I do have my magisk patched AP file (I did keep that), so I tried flashing it by odin to get into rooted state again, but then got scared because I was aftaid it would delete my data, so pulled the plug out, immediately after I discovered its flashing system.img (it just started)
thats where I interupted it
<ID:0/035> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/035> dt.img
<ID:0/035> dtbo.img
<ID:0/035> system.img
<ID:0/035> __XmitData_Write
<ID:0/035> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So then phone would not boot, not in TWRMP not in android anymore, so I flashed TWRMP again and now at least
I am in TWRMP (I can see my files, but they are encrypted (they have wierd names but size does seam to match my files)
So how do I reflash android now, without messing with /data partition?
or can I somehow backup just data partition, reflash android and flash /data back?

let the magisk_patched.tar flash, just make sure you don't flash CSC (HOME_CSC is fine it won't erase userdata)

Yey, that did it (that was scarry), now root works, as well as android 10 (for some reason Magisk Manager does not open (but all the magisk modules work)
Now, I did patch this ap file back in the day I updated android to 10 so
I used Magisk Manager 7.4.1.291c718b
and if I remember corecly (thanks got I recorded everything) I patched the AP file for Magisk 20.2-11b7076a)
Now I have Magisk Manager 8.0.7 installed
So after I downgraded my Magisk manager to 7.5.0 it opened
Now I just have to figure out how to install Magisk v21.4 which is the version that belongs to my Magisk Manager 8.0.7, because Magisk Manager won't let me install a custom magisk, it only wants to download the latest version

you can install latest Magisk apk and patch stock boot.img again. Anyway I would do a backup with Migrate and adb pull -a /sdcard first.
or you can paste this url as custom channel and install older magisk if you want to.

aha, I see
is there any other way besides patching my AP file again? (I mean Magisk can clearly update itself somehow)
I mean, Magisk Manager does open (but only version 7.5.0, not version 8.0.7), and I have root its just that I don't have Magisk Manager 8.0.7
So how do I install a specific Magisk version from Manager? (I did try to install like a Magisk module, but now I am stuck in download mode again, so lets install Android 10 again )

look in the json for download link

OK, after I installed Android again (with my older prepatched magisk)
Not sure what happened but now Magisk Manager 8.0.7 opens and says I have 20.2-11b7076a installed
of course as this combo should not exist, magisk Manager cannot see any modules (modules are there in /data/adb/modules and they do work, its just that Magisk Manager cannot see them installed, which means you can not easly delete them and you could install them over and over again, since Manager would not know that they are there)
So now I need to find a way to update to Magisk 21.4
So how would I do that (I tried the module install method before (I downloaded 21.4 from official github release pages) , but that just got me stuck into download mode again, so any other way, is there a patcher for computer maybe?
I mean I can only install the latest version, even if I disable internet, I cannot select a specific version

refer to post #8

Thanks, after spending 3hours to get into magisk I decided to share my procedure (because I forget it a lot)
FIrst: make sure your phones last state was power off (you can eather power off from red button or from recovery)
Then turn phone on and start holding power button + bixby + volume up, and count to 10 then release (not 11, 10, if you count to 11 you will get to recovery)
To try out if you are in magisk mode (without ruining your saved wifi passwords), you can plug the phone into the charger, if it turn on normaly, you are in magisk, if it shows battery charging, then you are not in magisk mode)
OK, I tried updating Magisk with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/topjohnwu/magisk_files/b0694fad86/stable.json
but for some wierd reason, it doesn't want to update, its stuck on 20.2-1
OK,. I tried installing Magisk Manager v7.4.1 and when launching it, it said that it patched dtbo.img and it needs reboot, so after I reboot, I am stuck on download mode again
It sayd: DT table header check fail
well, lets install Android 10 a third time

wait, you're booting into recovery to get into Magisk? you can use Nemesis kernel to skip this.

Yes I am, but its allright, I am used to this
one day I will have to compile my own kernel anyway (to add some drivers to the phone)
Now I have to figure out why Magisk 21.4 won't install
I tried patching my AP file with it, but no matter what I do, I cannot get into it for some reason? (even my trust and tried method does not get me into it, while it got me into 20 all the time)
Is this version broken?
Whats the latest magisk version that still supports Magisk Hide (usefull thing that always worked for me)

With Nemesis kernel no need for button dance, it boots straight into Magisk. Magisk Hide exist up to v23 but there is also unofficial Magisk v25

only in case recovery and boot share the same partition, you will lose magisk after flashing TWRP (does not apply)

Magisk needs the ramdisk of the recovery/TWRP to patch it. If flashing a non-prepatched image you will lose root.

Yea, I discovered that already
Now I am trying to get it back and failing
UPDATE: after installing Magisk 23 (last version that has Magisk Hide), prepatching AP file, and flashing it like 10th time, I finaly have root
Do I dare to try TWRP again? (I guess I need to prepatch it with Magisk before I install it with odin? (but which file do I install there are 2 files provided (twrp-3.4.0-2-beyond2lte.img.tar or twrp-3.4.0-2-beyond2lte.img)?

patch the tar file
