MagiskSU Install Help

HTC One M9
Venom Rom - ViperOne
Phh's SuperUser installed
Magisk 11.1 installed
Android N
Flashed a new rom (Viper) and it gave me the option to install PHH's SuperUser and Magisk, so I did. Once setting up the device I updated Magisk to 11.1 and installed the PHH's SuperUser (Magisk version) off of the official RT thread here on XDA.
Magisk Manager says I have Magisk 11.1 installed correctly and it is properly rooted, but my phone does not pass safety net, instead it says "CTS Profile Mismatch." After looking through the settings I saw the option for Magisk Hide so switched it off and back on and it says...
"You are not rooted with MagiskSU, using Magisk Hide might not be enough! It's not officially supported, and you would need additional tools (e.g Suhide) to pass Safety Net."
Can someone please help me with what to do?
Thank you,
Ollie Bednal.

Remove PHH Superuser completely - including apk - and re-flash Magisk.
osmOsis's UnSu script does a good job of removing all traces of root.

The original boot image is what is in the ROM zip. However, as you mentioned that root is preinstalled, you should flash osmOsis's UnSu zip to get rid of root before reflashing Magisk.

If the ROM has Magisk pre-installed, you may want to check in the ROM thread. Otherwise try everything I suggested in this thread.

Is it based on Developer or Stable ROM? Develop ROMs can't pass SafetyNet because they don't have the correct CTS profile. If it's based on Stable ROM, try flashing Global Stable again and Epic ROM afterwards, that might or might not help, no guarantees. You are only guaranteed to pass CTS profile match with Global Stable. But like you said, if Pokemon Go works you don't really need CTS profile.

Hi, I've just switched over to magisksu from supersu. I did as you suggested above... flashed unSu and the boot image and magisk. Then installed the Magisk manager from play store. It shows the device is rooted and that latest magisk is installed. However, safenet check fails.
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks

How to go from normal root to systemless root for Magisk?

Title says it all. Im currently using using SuperSU so looking for Systemless root and looking for Xposed to work as well.

Remove SuperSU, flash Magisk. That's basically it... If you have issues on the way there's lots of info in the support read and some things to try here:

Yes, choosing the full unroot option. It is also good to have the unsu zip by osm0sis handy, but the full unroot option should work.

Well, here goes nothing I guess....

When SuperSU asked if I wanted to recover the boot image (I think it was that) I said no.
Issues with that?

Checking patch status
SuperSU patched boot detected!
Adding auto patch scirpt for supersu
SuperSU image mount failed...
Will still try to complete installation
Device still does boot...which I guess is still a good sign.

Says Ive lost root....
Magisk does say it is installed.

CTS profile mismatch will happen if you're using SuperSU.
The one thing that went wrong was you saying no to restoring the boot image backup. If you want to use MagiskSU you'll need to flash it over a boot image that doesn't have the SuperSU patches.

If you're happy with your current setup, leave it be. If you need to pass SafetyNet (you'll need to disable Xposed for that) you'll have to start over.

Reading thru your thread, I cant really see what SafetyCheck implies. Does it just affect that stupid Pokemon crap? I imagine it affects more things like banks but I dont think mines will depend on that.

Magisk works fine with SuperSU. It's if you'd ever want to hide root from some process or app that you might have some trouble, since Magisk Hide is developed with MagiskSU in mind.
There are some banking apps, Android Pay, Pokemon Go other apps that utilise SafetyNet. I do believe that more and more apps will use in the future and the cat and mouse game of hiding root is gonna continue...

I use Xposed modules in my daily life and cannot afford to be without them.

[SOLVED] Can I really switch from SuperSU ?

Hi there fellows ! ^^
First of all, I want you all to know that I really am sorry if this is something that has been asked before. I tried, but couldn't find an answer by myself and I don't want to damage my phone again (I may have been waaaaay too hasty in the past...). So here goes.
I have a Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) which I rooted a while ago (two or three months ago maybe ? Can't remember for sure) by unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP from ADB, flashing the SuperSU zip file... You know, the usual thing. After that I went ahead and installed Xposed Framework, Busybox and several applications and modules which needed root like many of you I guess. Everything went fine. And still is, for the record.
Now I realize that I may have been living under a rock because I discovered very recently that not only SuperSU can be downloaded from the Play Store but also that there is Magisk, an open-source alternative with more functionnalities. Guess what ? I want it.
Soooo I did some research and read this https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 along with other articles here and there on the web and it seems that I'd just have to install some Magisk Manager app' from the Play Store... Is that really all there is to do ?!
I'm worried because it says "If you're already rooted with MagiskSU or Latest Official Systemless SuperSU". Yep, the "Systemless" part get me worried. While I do understand what it means, I can't help but wonder : since I installed SuperSU from a flashable zip file, is it Systemless ? How can I tell ?
Plus the whole thing is kinda confusing to me. If I do that, will Magisk remove SuperSU ? But if so, won't there be a problem with Xposed and other apps that need root ? Same question applies if I first manually remove SuperSU (assuming I can actually do that) before installing anything else.
In short, how should I proceed ? Do I have to remove anything ? Can I do anything ?
Again, sorry if things had been told already. I really want to take my shot, but I don't wanna soft brick my device again by being too carefree one more time.
Thank you for your time and your help.

When super su is installed magisk will make it automatically systemless. But it can't guarantee that it can always hide it. If super su isn't installed /you are unrooted then magisk will install and use magisk su.
Also since you mentioned them: soft bricks can be resolved by just reflashing your Rom, no need to wipe (lose your data) in most cases

Yeah, I do know that, but I really do need my phone at the moment, so I'd kinda be in a world of pain if I brick it.

You can Uninstall super su if you want but it isn't a must if you don't care magisk su. I would remove xposed before installing magisk and after having installed magisk you can install the systemless version. As for your apps that use root, you don't need do deinstall them

Sorry for the late reply.
I do want to use Magisksu instead of SuperSU. So basically, what I have to do is :
1 - Uninstall Xposed by flashing the uninstaller from TWRP
2 - Uninstall SuperSu (by the app menu ? Is it enough to remove root ?
3 - Install Magisk from the store
4 - Install systemless Xposed from the store
And I'll be all set, correct ? Nothing should go wrong ?

I'll add a couple of points to your list:
2.5 - Make sure to restore the stock boot image.
3.5 - Flash magisk.zip in recovery. You can't install through the Manager if not rooted.
If you want to use Magisk Hide to pass SafetyNet you'll have to disable Xposed. Magisk can't hide it, even if it's systemless.

Well, all I can find with Huawei Firmware Finder seems to be full or OTA ROM updates. I can't download the boot image only.
However, within the SuperSU app settings, there are two options : one to change superuser app and a second one to completely remove root. By any chance, does one of these options clear the boot image by itself ?

It can be a bit of a bother getting the boot image from inside a Huawei factory image...
SuperSU can restore your boot image when you do the full unroot. That was actually what I was referring to with my 2.5.

Hi all,
Yesterday I've unlocked my Oneplus 3T bootloader and installed TWRP.
After that I flashed Lineage 14.1, Open Gapps, addonsu-14.1-arm64-signed.zip and finally Magisk. Reboot and install SuperSu.
But I'm wondering if I still need to flash the Lineage addonsu and SuperSu.

Thanks. I probably missed something when reading the threads. I understood Magisk can root my devices, but didn't understood that simply installing it would root my device. So that's why I was flashing su binary and using SuperSU app.
Thanks a lot.

First of all I'm sorry for answering this post so late but I needed to do it.
Well, according to all I've seen about magisk, and obviously with this post, everything I must do to use magisk is:
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Flash Official Stock ROM
3. Flash Magisk.zip
4. Install Magisk Manager
Is it all? Really? Shouldn't I do anything else, because I'm too worried about it. I've ever used SuperSU until now, and this things of MagiskSU, Magisk Manager and Magisk Hide option are really new for me.
If someone could answer me, including the owner of this post it'd be VERY APPRECIATED and I would thank you all a lot!

It's not quite apparent from your post if you have rooted with SuperSU already and now want to use Magisk instead. But, considering that you're posting in a thread that deals with moving from SuperSU I'm gonna go with that... Kind of...
You will need an unlocked bootloader, yes.
If you've rooted with SuperSU you can reflash your ROM, or use something like @osm0sis unSU zip and then flash the stock boot image only. Depends on your setup which option is easier. If you're not already rooted, this step is unnecessary.
Installing Magisk is just as easy as that, yes.
The Manager is also installed when flashing the Magisk zip, so this step is unnecessary. However... In rare cases the Manager doesn't install with the zip. If that happens you just have to install it manually.
The only step I'd like to add is to have a backup of all important data and files on your device. That's always good practice when tinkering with your device...
The release thread and the installation/troubleshooting thread (I'm hoping to have time to update it for Magisk v15.2 tonight) are good resources when setting everything up and if you encounter issues. Searching through the general support thread is also a good idea if issues arise. Most questions have been answered numerous times already.

I'm new to Magisk but have a couple of questions. I have a pixel XL running Dirty UNICORNS rooted with SuperSU. If I want to use Magisk can I just flash my dirty UNICORNS rom, gapps and then the magisk.zip?

No. You merely need to uninstall SuperSU, either through the SuperSU app (complete uninstall) or by using the unSU zip. You'll also have to make sure that you restore the stock unpatched boot image.
After that you can flash Magisk and you'll be good to go.

Advanteges of Magisk?

I want to root my device.
But I'm unable to decide that I should root via supersu or Magisk.
I've read that magisk provide systemless root, but what the advanteges of systemless root/magisk?
Can someone help me that what's the use/advantage of Magisk?
is it much stable then supersu?
I don't want to risk my device as I'm app developer

If you are an app developer, use Magisk. Magisk allows you to pass google's safety tests (Safetynet) - which you should know about if you develop apps! but basically, google will not think your device is compromised is you use Magisk, but WILL think your device is compromised if you use SuperSU - even if SuperSU is installed in Systemless mode. Don't forget to enable magisk hide in the Magisk Manager app to make sure this works though.
Some app developers will check safetynet upon launching their app to see if the device is compromised, and if it is, either restrict features, or deny access entirely. A good example of this is Banking apps, though they usually use their own root detection - but that can be hidden with Magisk Hide. - No bank wants their app being used on a compromised device, where a virus with root access could collect information. The more you know

There are risks with any kind of root on your phone, as an app developer, you should know that.
You could get a virus that takes advantage of root to encrypt all of your files.
Again, you should know this if you are an app developer, there is a difference between creating a single app, and developing applications as a whole!
Magisk is very stable though, more so on OxygenOS but it will be pretty stable with LineageOS too! I have had no problems whatsoever! I have been using android pay and all my root apps without my phone ever crashing! And if you are careful, you won't get a virus (root will not cause a virus, user stupidity gets virus') - enjoy

I'd like to add the main advantage to why I use Magisk.
All my system modifications (build.prop changes, debloating, changed/removed ui audio, etc) are still there after a system update. Even if I have to do a clean install with a wipe, all it takes is flashing a couple of extra zips and everything is right back were I want it.

Can you please link me to Magisk installation thread for Oneplus 3t. I can't find any on XDA. I found one thread that belongs to Magisk dev but it is very confusing with installing all the systemless SuperSU and such.

There's no specific 3T thread that I know of... It's all there in the Magisk forums. It's not as complicated as it might seem.
If you're unrooted, just flash the Magisk zip in TWRP. Done!
If you have systemless SuperSU installed and want to keep it, just flash the Magisk zip in TWRP. Done!
If you have systemless SuperSU installed and want to switch to MagiskSU, you'll need to first remove SuperSU. Use the full unroot option in the SuperSU app and say yes when asked if you want to restore the boot image backup. After that, flash the Magisk zip in TWRP. Done!
If you have any other root installed, just flash the Magisk zip in TWRP and the installation script will do it's best to remove it and install MagiskSU instead. Done!
Edit: There might be variations on the above, depending on if you're using stock ROM or not. Take a look at the link in my signature if you run into problems. I've tried to collect as much info, tips and tricks as possible in one place.

Thanks, it is clear now. Is it possible to 100% pass safety net with Magisk? I read somewhere that it's a hit and miss.
Apart from the Magisk modules what's the benefit of rooting with Magisk instead of superSU? I saw many people still support superSU than Magisk, does it mean that Magisk has some flows or bugs?

I've had no issues passing SafetyNet on my OP3T. It depends on what ROM you're using and if you have any other modifications that Magisk Hide can't hide. Apart from Magisk Hide and systemless modifications Magisk is also open source, if you value that kind of stuff...
There might be apps out there that use specific SuperSU stuff and won't work fully with MagiskSU. I haven't had any issues though (apart from a couple of workarounds, like for Tasker - again, see my signature) and many app developers are starting to make their apps work with MagiskSU as well. Most work out of the box though.

MagiskHide
You can use apps like Android Pay or Snapchat on a rooted device

Another noob question, what is the difference between normal and systeless SuperSU?
Considering current known problems Magisk have , isn't it a good idea to use Magisk superSU combo and SuperSU hide?

Systemless root doesn't alter /system... If you want a more in-depth explanation I'm sure your friend Google can explain it to you.
For OP3T on OxygenOS (I'm currently on 4.1.3) I've not experienced any issues with Magisk. I don't know what those "currently known problems" are that you're worried about...

I meant those issues happens with Tasker etc. Thank you for the answers, you've been very helpful.
I started googling and reading in XDA as well but you know the doubts that comes along ?

Ah... Ok. Those kind of issues are easy to work around and the next version of Tasker will have official MagiskSU support.

Use Magisk Manager
I also used Magisk Manager in my old device at it worked fine and as magisk allow you to root Android without effecting on system files I could also install root unsupported apps as well. So i think Magisk is the best solution for you.

Magisk v12 loses root after a short while.

I noticed today that I lost root. I searched and tried everything to fix it but I couldn't. So, I wiped out my entire phone and did a clean flash of Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 for the TMobile Note 3. Magisk worked after a clean flash.
Spent hours loading every app back on and now, Magisk isn't working again?
Please help?
Android version is 7.1.2.

Did it really lose root? I've found that randomly when you open Magisk it will claim that it has no root access, but when you close it (exit the app and swipe it away from the recents menu) and reopen it it will start functioning properly again.

Use un su zip first to remove the pre-installed root that rr has. Don't know if RR has root inbuilt now or not. But if it comes with root uninstall it and flash magisk on top of it and you are good to go

Me too have this problem. Magisk root sometimes gone, and i need to reboot device to make it work agan.
Tested in almost N custom roms like CM14.1, AEX, Omni, ViperOS, etc

If you installed magisk it will remove built in root automatically. -_-

Did you turn off magisk busybox ? It would help on fix that.
In another way, some of modules you installed may have potential to make you lose root. Trying to do enable/disable module to test it.

I did some more searching and someone said just flash Magisk again. I did that and it worked! But, then I lost root again several hours later, seems so random? I flashed Magisk again and it worked again.
I can only get two green on Magisk, the third green seems to run forever, I left it on for 10+ minutes and it still showed "testing".
BTW, I didn't flash the uninstall Magisk zip before re-flashing. I tried that way and my phone got into a bootloop. Luckily, I had a TWRP backup.

Thanks! I'll try this and see if it helps!

BTW, is anyone able to install Snapchat? I tried the Hide feature in Magisk and checked Snapchat, but it still knows I'm rooted and immediately closes after opening.
Also, the Sphero BB8 app? Anyone get that working? That one also closes right after opening.

No magisk just overrides the root. Use Un su zip first then flash magisk and u won't lose root

I just want to clarify.
If systemless SuperSU is detected, Magisk will use that. If any other root is installed, the installation script will attempt to remove it and install MagiskSU instead (not sure to be successful and might lead to issues). If no root is installed, MagiskSU will be used. To avoid issues, the unSU zip is quite useful.
From v13, Magisk will no longer be compatible with SuperSU.

Wow, this is very informative, thanks!
Which version of unSU.zip is the correct one to use? Is this one okay?

It is because your device lost safety net.
You need to reflash system and gapps.
Back up data partition then wipe all then flash rom and gaps and then magisk.
After starting device first enable magisk hide.
Then restore backed up /data.
After restart enable magisk hide switches and reboot system.
Profit.
Reply it works or not.
