Hello ^^
I am hoping that some of you guys can help me out of a little issue that i am having, i will try and explain what has happened up until now as best i can:
As many people know, the latest update to Pokemon GO, knocks out rooted users. I did not know this and updated last night, however, dispite running a custom ROM (PureNexus) and being rooted, my game loaded up like normal and let me play. It wasn't until i checked that my SuperSU that i found that root wasn't actually working at that time, so i re-flashed the latest Super SU and all was good, but, obviously, this knocked out Pokemon GO.
I read up on the trick of using Magisk to be able to turn off root and when was needed as to get the game to work, so i went about trying to get it working. I unrooted via Super SU and then rebooted and flashed the Magisk installer and PHH Superuser (as i heard this was best for compatability). After the phone rebooted i, installed the Magisk launcher and the PHH SU program from the Play Store, but when i opened any app that reuqited root, it was still telling me i wasn't rooted anymore, and thus, when i opened PGO, it worked.
I am kinda lost from here, i want to get my phone rooted again, and i want to get Magisk working so i can still enjoy PGO and some of my occasionally used apps that require root, so my questions are as follows:
1. Can you re-flash an SU over an old one to get root back, or do i need to fully un-root and root again?
2. If i was to re-flash SuperSU (with Magisk support), would this get me rooted again and allow me to flash Magisk as normal?
I am a little lost here, any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance.

For magisk to work, you have to use it to root and unroot. From what I understand, it temporarily removes root system wide when you do this. Basically it's a more convenient way to root and unroot.
Android Police has an article on it right now. The instructions for installation and usage are correct.
The problem is probably related to a failure to make sure all traces of previous SuperSU installations are gone.

For magisk to work it's best to fully unroot, maybe try unsu.zip,
Then have a 100% stock system and boot (kernel)
And before flashing magisk and phh, try the SafetyNet checker app in the playstore. (PoGO uses SafetyNet to check for root, same as Android Pay)
If you pass then go ahead and flash magisk, phh, and then phh app followed by magisk manager
In the magisk thread are all the instructions to follow

Hi,
To be honest I am a bit bored of the standard ROM, having come from other phones where I root and have a play. I did try to root once and did so successfully and installed a new ROM (Was CM13 or 14 I think) but some of my work applications (email, calendar etc) and some games (e.g. Pokemon Go) require you to not have root.
I found some website links to use hideSU and Magisk but I couldnt get it to work when toggling, and was stuck with it showing as rooted. This was around 6 months ago though
When I try to do a search now, most of the links relate back to the old Magisk process which didnt work for me last time and is still 6-12 month old links. Does anyone have an easier, step by step process of how to root, flash ROM and then hide root?
I am familiar with flashing, so no issue explaining that - I just need to know what steps in between/after flashing I need to do to hide root.
Thanks
Install any rom with Magisk. Then go to Magisk Manager app, enable Magisk hide under its settings, and then install your applications normally. It's so simple. Don't forget to check root status in Magisk app. Sometimes SafetyNet shows as not passing, but there are fixes to make it work.
I personally recommend ResurrectionRemix and AOSP Extended ROMs, but there are lot of roms with Magisk now.
Ah, I have to install ROM through Magisk? I did mine through TWRP I think and then did Magisk, this might be where I went wrong. Will try again, thanks

Nope. Install ROM that includes Magisk (and gapps) through TWRP, then use Magisk Manager app that is included in ROM. Sorry for missing that part. Quote me next time so I get the notification.

Ah thanks, so need specific ROM that includes Magisk.
If i want to say install RR Remix, anyway i can flash the ROM and then Magisk separately?
Hi 3sixty , How did you succeed in hiding your app through magisk ? any positive methods.. I will be happy to know as I'm trying to solve a similar problem with my samsung galaxy note 5.
Flash any ROM, flash magisk, update magisk manager and enable magisk hide

Well, I never used Magisk, but i used to hide root by installing Root Cloak App from Xposed. So you have to flash Xposed framework as well. It used to work with most of the apps with android 4-6, except for 1-2 banking apps.
For Custom Roms, I recommend Ressurection Remix over all ROMs after MIUI ROMs. MIUI ROMs are available for other handsets as well and not just Xiaomi.
Please, can someone help me to replace magisk without any bootloop, I just don't like this magisk thing and prefer good old supersu. Please, nearly all the nought rom for s4 has magisk and I really want su. I tried two to just to flash the zip, and i had to factory reset twice. Thank you . :crying::crying:
Uninstall Magisk, flash SuperSU zip. Done.

Thank you for the reply but how do i uninstall magisk
Nearly all the Android 7.x ROMs are using Magisk because of its ability to bypass SafetyNet for use with banking apps as well as Pokémon Go. Plus, SuperSU just recently had a botched rollout in that some devices bootlooped when it was installed, some devices lost root completely, and some were unable to update the hosts file using AdAway. Couple that with the new owners of SuperSU trying to slip analytics items into the app, not to mention excessive permissions for the bug reporting feature and you have a mess. So, while I have absolutely no idea what issues you're having with Magisk, you're doing far worse in my opinion going back to SuperSU and should instead use phh Superuser. It's as simple to use as SuperSU while not being saddled with SuperSU's excessive permissions and device problems.
With that said, if you really want to go back to SuperSU, dirty flash your custom ROM if using one (uninstalls Magisk), then install SuperSU and reboot.

Have you looked in the Magisk thread? I'm pretty sure they have some uninstall instructions there.

If his ROM comes with Magisk "out-of-the-box", then dirty flashing won't do anything.
@Pwnycorn: LOL...I didn't think that one through, did I?
In any case, the bulk of my post was reasons why NOT to use SuperSU. Personally, there's nothing SuperSU can do that Magisk can't, and I don't miss SuperSU at all. In fact, I ditched SuperSU on MachineX ROM and successfully replaced it with Magisk. I replaced MicroG in that ROM as well, but I digress.

Hey everyone,
I`m running LineageOS on my phone and am rooted using SuperSU which seems to work, according to Rootchecker and the feww apps I use, which make use of root privileges.
But I`m not entirely happy with my current situation, since it seems that more and more apps don`t tend to work with my rooted phone. So what are my ways out of this?
Can I easily unroot my phone, while keeping LineageOS?
Is there a working alternative to SuperSU, which would enable me to stay rooted on LineageOS without reflashing the OS and use Banking-Apps?
I`ve heard of Magisk, but I am unsure of how to switch over from my current state and I`am not sure whether or not it would solve my problems
Thanks for any help in advance!!
Magisk
You just have to go to SuperSU, then Full Unroot, then download Magisk 13.3 and flash it from TWRP. After that you should have Magisk Manager, if for some weird reason you don't, install it via apk
Then you just go to the settings, tick MagiskHide, then go back and open the side panel, MagiskHide - select the apps that you want Magisk to hide itself from
So I tried to do what you said.
I did the full unroot in the SuperSu App,
My phone rebooted
I shut it down again and booted into recovery
Tried flashing Magisk
But it failed, apparently due to my Boot image being patched by another program and told me to go with stock image
What do I do now? And will I lose any data by doing so? Thank you so much for any help!
Weird, but you can simply dirty flash LineageOS (the same one that you have now, or an update, doesn't matter) and it should let you install Magisk.
I did what you said and installed a delta update using LineageOS Downloader. Had to manually flash it in TWRP since I had no root permissions anymore. But I was able to install Magisk like a charm! Now I have to questions:
1. How do I update Magisk? Using the app?
2. Do I have to flash it again everytime I'm updating LOS?
Thanks for the great help so far!
And what exactly are those moduls? Should I be messing with them?
If updates come they will appear on the status bar and you can download them, and they'll install with the phone on. after that you have to (not quick) reboot your phone.
and about the modules, seriously? what do you think??
Hello guys,
I had been using Magisk & Xposed on Nougat before Oreo rolled out in December. However after update I lost root. When I flashed patched_boot.img I got stuck in bootloop (So I returned to stock boot.img). I am pretty sure bootloop was caused by some incompatible Magisk module. The problem is that I don't know how to disable them now - I don't want to install TWRP (because I want to be able to get OTAs) and when I use only "bootable" version of TWRP, it can not detect any files/partitions, so I am unable to use "mount-magisk.zip" to remove wrong Magisk modules. So I am kind of stuck.
Here is what I want to achieve:
- remove incompatible magisk modules
- gain root without permanent TWRP
- profit
I have been searching this forum for quite a while but couldn't find some relevant consistent information. Any tips how to deal with this?
At the moment I am running Oreo /w January update.
Thank you
For others looking for similar answers, I was able to solve it:
I flashed TWRP, then using "mount-magisk" removed all modules, then using MiFlashTool flashed original rom (you can do that without loosing data) and then I just followed guide to root using patched boot.img.
Good luck
