Magisk is not installed (v18.1), and Manager denied superuser rights

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Magisk 18.1. When I open Magisk Manager, I see the "Magisk is not installed" error message with the X in a red circle. However, Magisk Manager is up to date. I also get toast messages that say that "Manager was denied superuser rights". However, I'm able to get root in adb shell and entering "su".
If I refresh Magisk Manager by pulling down and releasing, then the following message:
Code:
Requires Additional Setup
Your device needs additional setup for Magisk to work properly. It will download the Magisk setup zip, do you want to proceed now?
Choosing "YES" will produce a "Setup failed." toast message. However, I see that now, "Magisk is up to date".
Despite this, I don't see the full set of Magisk settings (such as Magisk Hide, etc). Also, if I kill the process and reopen Magisk, I will get the same error message again.
I've tried downloading the Magisk v18.1 zip file and reflashing it in TWRP, but still no go.
Device: Nexus 5X with Android 6.0.1
Magisk: v18.1 (18100)
Magisk Manager: v7.0.0

Reflash stock rom and try to reflash if not work wait an update or try to downgrade version

Sounds like you've ended up with two conflicting Magisk Managers installed (one repackaged, one not). Like this: https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Updating_from_v18.0_to_v18.1

Thanks! That was exactly it!

I'm running into the same problem. No dual install of manager, either.
Happens on a fresh from-scratch install of v18.1 on a Moto X Pure

Same here, clean install of v18.1 on Mi Max 3 (MIUI 10.2.1.0)

FWIW the problem still exists in v19, with it happening multiple times a day now in 19.3

error as well v20.3 on Pocophone, Download and Install zip..installation error

go to settings>apps>magisk manager>allow storage permission.

Magisk update installation failed
I'm also having same problem with the latest update v20.4. I tried installing via Magisk app but it failed. I also tried flashing through recovery but same response.

I also had a similar issue, on a wiped phone. Magisk manager showing magisk not installed. However, using su from adb brought up a superuser request dialogue. I granted it, it hung for a minute, then when I reopened magisk manager it showed that magisk was successfully installed.

Can't download this DM verity can't find it (used Google translator from Russian to English).
My problem is magisk manager says denied superuser so I can't use magisk hide since I can't reach it(limited options) but my fone is rooted and the new apps get grant or refuse and I can grant them superuser but need magisk hide for banking apps and all. On the latest magisk. Check attachment.
Please help please.

Uninstalled the Magisk Manager, and possibly also the hidden Manager (named "Manager" or whatever name you gave it) with the generic Android icon? And if you uninstalled both of them, installed the apk again manually?

nothing worked - wiped fone and reinstalled - magisk up and running again

[MODULE] Debugging modules: ADB Root, SELinux Permissive, Enable Eng

These modules are not meant for everyday use. They are intended for debugging and modification of a firmware. They significantly lower security of your device while active and even could softbrick it. You've been warned.
ADB Root
Magisk Module that allows you to run "adb root". adb root is not an ordinary root (su), it's adbd daemon running on your phone with root rights. adb root allows you to "adb push/pull" to system directories and run such commands as "adb remount" or "adb disable-verify".

SELinux Permissive
This module switches SELinux to permissive mode during boot process. This module intentionally lowers security settings of your phone. Please don't use it if there is a better solution to your problem, e.g., magiskpolicy. The module will not work if your kernel compiled with always enforcing config, e.g., stock samsung kernels. It's not possible to enable permissive mode on such kernels.

Enable Eng
This Magisk Module enables engineering build props. It allows to activate debugging parts of a firmware. Please, disable Magisk Hide for this module. If you don't know what you are doing, don't use this module. It can easily softbrick your device.
Troubleshooting
If your device doesn't boot then you need to reboot to TWRP recovery and
Code:
$ adb shell rm -fr /data/adb/modules/enable_eng
If ADB doesn't work that means adbd in your firmware is build without ALLOW_ADBD_ROOT. You can fix adb autostart either by installing "ADB Root" magisk module or by disabling this module.

Thanks @evdenis, this module is great! I haven't gotten the 100% desired behavior (getting adbd with actual root perms) because I'm running a 32-bit architecture (armeabi-v7a) and you've supplied only the 64-bit version of adbd, but I've been using your module to swap out 32-bit versions of different versions of adbd I have lying around (older devices). I'm a n00b when it comes to building adbd from scratch using the latest sources with your patch so I'm planning on using the adbd that came with the device and using a disassembler and a hexeditor to NOP out some calls, such as the call to minijail_enter() and see if I have any success. The original device version of adbd doesn't seem to have the functions in it that you built with the patch, but instead appears to use a bunch of minijail library functions. The device is a rooted android 8.1.0 OS, but it is only rooted systemlessly so many of the ro.* build properties affecting adb are changed well after the OS-essential portion boots rendering my efforts thus-far using the original adbd ineffective I'm guessing. I can now issue the "adb root" command from my machine, but adbd on the device is always being launched with the following command line arg "--root_seclabel=u:r:su:s0" and never gains root permissions by default (the behavior I'm trying to achieve). I can manually use "su" but this doesn't help me with push/pull requests to protected parts of the OS and chainfire's "ADB Insecure" patches adbd successfully, but I still don't get the root perms.
Do you know if the system is starting the process with reduced permissions (i.e. adbd will never be able to gain root access on its own no matter what I modify) and I should go a different route like modifying something else in the system rather than adbd? Again, I've already modified the ro.* properties affecting adbd so it does attempt to re-launch itself as root, it just doesn't end up getting the root perms. Manually launching adbd after killing it from within a shell on the device doesn't seem to affect the permissions in ultimately gets.
If you are anyone has any insight as to what I need to do so that adbd gains root permission, that would be much appreciated.

It was my initial attempt to gain "adb root" on samsung s10. And noping a couple of calls is not enough on the phone. adbd binary on your device could be compiled without "adb root" branch. This is the case on samsung s10. If "adb root" branch exists one need to force should_drop_privileges() function to return false (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/refs/heads/master/adb/daemon/main.cpp#65) in order to get into the "adb root" branch of code (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/refs/heads/master/adb/daemon/main.cpp#151).

You could try enable_eng magisk module (https://github.com/evdenis/enable_eng). The module changes ro.* props to engineering build props. Depending on a firmware this could help to get "adb root". However, no guaranties that the module will not softbrick your device. In case of softbrick you will need to reboot to TWRP and delete the module, instruction is in the README.md.

Try to disable SELinux either with the magisk module or with a script.

Thanks for your response.
I think you're right. Despite having adjusted the ro properties post-boot, there was nothing in ADB that would change the privileges as if it has been compiled out. By sheer luck, I managed to grab adbd from an identical device that had a recent forced firmware update, but the "improved adbd" actually let me get closer. The updated adbd had code changes to its adbd_main function so that it at least looks at the properties "ro.secure" and "service.adb.root" not to mention new calls to minijail_capbset_drop(), minijail_change_gid() and minijail_change_uid(). Using magisk to dynamically replace my original adbd binary with this updated one actually worked in getting adbd to start root shells without needing to invoke "su"!
However its a weird type of root that can't read certain files like /verity_key but I can see some things I should be able to see as root. I'm no SELinux expert, but my guess is that if everything is functioning correctly, I may be getting an SELinux "restricted" root. In this case, it might be the most I can expect from an SELinux enabled kernel launching adbd as root. Let me explain: since I'm using Magisk, post-boot systemlessly, (the system boots restricted and then I use the mtk_su exploit, to gain root and disable permissive SELinux mode), I'm getting permissive root on a session by session basis. I think the nature of this type of root means the kernel is probably still locked down and thus whatever daemon may be responsible for launching adbd remains locked down. Does this sound correct to you? If so, I can live with that
I'd love to get TWRP on this device, but I'm not sure its possible since TWRP doesn't list my device as supported on their website nor can I get into fastboot mode (I didn't try that hard because I wanted to exhaust other options before flashing anything). Do you think enable_eng would work *after* the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETE event is processed? I.e. my device is rooted after bootup by a script which runs the exploit, but it is well after the system is fully running and locked-down. Luckily Magisk has a utility to change ro properties, but some of those properties are not looked-at by the system this late in the boot stage. Do you think in this case "enable_eng" would work for me? Thanks again!

I'm not sure that my modules will work with this rooting scenario. As far as I could understand, magisk by default replaces the init process, patches selinux policy before it is loaded and next, calls the original init binary. I don't think that it will be possible to alter selinux policy with different boot scenario for magisk.

I'm not sure that enable_eng will work. adbd daemon check some properties such as ro.secure dynamically, but they could be cached after the boot. I don't know the ways to drop the cache and re-read these properties (altered with magisk) after the boot. Here are the main properties the modules changes https://github.com/evdenis/enable_eng/blob/master/system.prop

Thanks for making this tool! I'm just wondering if I need to modify my adb to use the module - I run "adb root" normally and get "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" still

Anyone know why when i install SELinux Permissive version 2.0 of the module it still states version 1 in Magisk?

I flashed this in Magisk and rebooted. Now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. Any ideas? I'm using Sony Xperia XZ1 compact.

If you have twrp installed just uninstall and reinstall magisk.
Otherwise,
Boot to bootloader and flash your boot.img file
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then let phone boot. Reboot to bootloader again. Flash magisk_patched.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
During startup, as soon as you get to the Google logo, hold the volume button down. This should start the phone in safe mode. See if it loads. If not, reboot phone, and execute this in terminal/command prompt:
Code:
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
This should allow the phone to start up all the way. Enable whatever modules you want. You may need to flash magisk_patched.img again.
This has fixed multiple problems for me. It's redundant, but it tends to work.

I installed the Magisk selinux script, but after installing it no longer shows in Magisk, so how do I dissable/undo/uninstall the script? I installed a Selinux checker and it says it is on permissive, so the scrip must have installed, but I want to remove it. Is there an undo script, or can I manually delete the script in my root filesystem? THX

Hello guys
I used Redmi K20 pro with Eu rom 10.4, android 10.
I used the lastest version of this module but my devices was not found on ADB system on my computer.
So what I do now? I tried to fix it but I cannot find anything about it.

Recently, setting SElinux to permissive is not advised. I had a issue with V4A setting my SElinux to permissive permenantly, but editing the magisk module to set SElinux to enforcing instead of permissive also works.
This is probs the only module that actually sets SElinux properly.
Here's the modded magisk module with the same credited creator, but just sets SElinux to Enforcing instead of permissive

OMFG I THINK THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. TEH HOLY GRAILLLLL OMGOMGOMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUU

remove magisk modules (READ FIRST)

Hi! got my new pixel 3a because i broke my last one. ive rooted and have magisk installed. i tried to install youtube vanced which didnt work because they removed the module so i found it on here somewhere. it wont uninstall. i installed busy box and debloat terminal uninstaller to uninstall youtube and the module and now those wont uninstall. I have 4 modules that ive set to delete and restarted 10 times and no delete. i tried "adb shell magisk --remove-modules" and modules are still there. i cant use twrp because android 10 doesnt have twrp support. SO IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE tell me how to manually delete magisk modules that would be AMAZING. other suggestions are welcome too!

Modules are installed in /data/adb/modules/.
1. Get into that directory.
2. Identify the modules you want to remove.
3. Write down the respective DIRECTORY NAMES, separated by spaces.
4. On a root terminal, paste and run:
Code:
cd /data/adb/modules; for module in NAMES FROM STEP 3; do test -d $module || continue; (sh $PWD/$module/uninstall.sh) 2>/dev/null; rm -rf $module; done

Terminal Emulator and Magisk

I found the Terminal emulator app that I want to use to do some ADB for PC commands without needing PC and usb. su gives permission denied. So I decided to use Magisk - just installed the Magisk zip from recovery and the Magisk Manager, both are green light in Magisk menu. Now can it grant SU or do I still need SuperSU? SuperSU never worked for me. So Im trying to make it work for Terminal emu, how do I add the Terminal to Magisk's Superuser apps? I also downloaded ADB module from Magisk not sure if there's some ADB native command with it to do the same commands from the phone?
Oh never mind when I typed su in Terminal after having installed Magisk and all its stuff, finally it detected it and the app appeared in Superuser list in Magisk where I can toggle on or off.

You will have to
# cd /data/adb
then
# rm ./magisk.db
Do note that in doing so, you have erased all the grant history. However Magisk provides no other options to accomplish this. So this is it.

Abnormal State - "su" binary not from Magisk has been detected

Hello!
I am on LOS GSI 19.1, S20 FE LTE Exynos (with TWRP) - when starting Magisk have this msg:
Abnormal State
A "su" binary not from Magisk has been
detected. Please remove any competing
root solution and/or reinstall Magisk.
What could be reason of that and how to fix it. :/ Maybe someone can help...

Found your thread while searching for a solution of the same problem.
I thought I will share a solution as finding useful info novadays gets harder every day.
Not to get into detailed description, generally it's caused by su existing in /system/xbin path, and in most cases shell is started with su privileges due to an entry in /system/build.prop
Just rename the /system/xbin/su under adb shell or terminal to for example ssu/zu/subackup whatever the name is and after reboot magisk shouldn't yell with a popup.
btw. I haven't encountered any misbehaviour of magisk, but for the sake of not getting this popup I made the change by the way of working with shell on other things.

Hi I found that for some reason downgrading to android 12 PE works for some reason but when I update to android 13 EvolutionX it shows the popup do you mind sharing the command for adb on how to do this because it denied access for me when I tried remounting from r/o to r/w.

if rom you use is complied with adb root capabilites, then just use linux mv command after connecting to shell
Code:
adb root
adb shell
mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/zu
if not, then maybe under twrp commandline it could be possible?

Did you set rw on /system or /system/xbin?
Set rw on the top dir, not nested one in which you want to make changes, or you won't get permissions to change anything in any nested directory you set rw on.
Try to copy the file somewhere else and then delete it from its original path. But I bet you won't succeed. Maybe changing the owner/group and all permissions to 777 would do.
I'd also try in safe mode, or in native recovery mode (not twrp, assuming you still have access to it) using ADB

For me it disapeard by reinstalling magisk by the TWRP.

Xbin folder is not visible in recovery. Overlayfs module is not working with my kernel. Galaxy S21+, TWRP, Lineage 19.1, Hari GSI kernel. Any idea?

Are you try to flash Overlyfs first without any module in your magisk...
After you flash magisk manager in your phone and installed already, open it and then restart your phone.. then
First: flash only Overlyfs.zip in your magisk without any module installed.. then restart your phone
Second: download root explorer and grant root
Third: find su in system/xbin and rename it in ZU and save and delete zu then restart your phone
I hope I helped you with this post
