I have successfully installed Magisk on my device Root works but when I try to install a magisk module I get an error about not being able to mount magisk.img. When I try to install through recovery the module is flashes without any errors but once you open the app It displays "no modules installed". Before the G5s plus that I have a had the Moto G5 Plus. It had the same problem I just had to install another kernel over stock one and Magisk would work as expected. Is there a kernel for stock room that would support Magisk. Anyone else had this problem or is it just me?
ive no issue installing modules through magisk. Theres a lot of factors here. You didnt mention but id presume you installed magisk through recovery. Also, I presume you installed xposed. Maybe the modules your using require xposed to work. I forgot the exact steps to install xposed through magisk, but its not hard, and Id assume anyways you tried all of that. Have to flask xposed through recovery if I remember, then you can install xposed app apk too through recovery, then open magisk and install the latest xposed there. Im not using a stock rom, however Im fully confident if you properly rooted, and unlocked your phone of course, (I assume you did, just saying) its not a kernel issue. Sorry if I wasnt any help, its all i can think of right now.
When I got the phone I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP. When I set up my device I went back to recovery to install Magisk 14.3. It installed correctly and I got root using Magisk but when I try to install any module through the Magisk app I get an error. If I got you right should I try to install Xposed too? I was planning to install Xposed, Magisk version. But when I try that I get an error. I have attached a screenshot of when I try to install Xposed by topjohnwu and Greenify for Magisk. I get the same error.
well, xposed may not be your issue if you cant install any module with magisk manager. The modules, majority of them, if not all of them, i dont know, do not require xposed. Some do, most do not. Now please keep in mind, i could be wrong. I would say this, no harm in installing xposed, its basically a must get anyways for many awesome apps/modules. How you install, first install the xposed manager, youll have to look around for it, its not on the play store. Then downkoad magisk xposed through magisk. Once you download that zip file boot into twrp and install xposed through twrp.
This is a youtube on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCcvsOp83A4 Now thing is, this may not fix any of your problems. But theres a chance it may. Like i said either way you want xposed on rooted phones anyways.
Patched kernel for stock. I have no problem running modules on Magisk. Flash in recovery.

A few days ago I posted a question about not being able to install any Xposed modules here, so far no one answered: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-framework-installed-running-t3567230
I thought this problem had something to do with the modules specifically, but it turns out that on my phone, for whatever reason, installing the framework subsequently prevents ALL apps from installing, even those from Google Play itself, displaying a "-504" error.
I see people have asked this question before, but are also not getting answers: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/install-apps-installing-framework-t3430922
Please, if anyone has any idea of why this can be and how to fix it, let me know. Any help will be infinitely appreciated!
What phone and ROM are you using?
One thing you could try is to install systemless Xposed through Magisk. Then use MagiskHide to hide both root and Xposed from all Google apps and potential sources of conflict. If it's a software limitation/conflict, this may be a workaround.
Keep in mind that you will have to root your phone with Magisk rather than SuperSU or any other form of root.

Hey, thank you for your answer!
I am using a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2306, rom is 26.1.A.1.112 Latin America Generic. It is rooted and with TWRP installed accroding to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-e2306-m4-aqua-guide-t3270521
I also have a locked bootloader, and it cannot be unlocked, so unfortunately that shuts the door on most rooting options.
I never heard of Magisk before, but from what I'm seeing, it looks it TWRP is required to get root with Magisk, but some kind of root is already required on my phone in order to get TWRP. So I'm not sure how to go about this.
If your phone is already rooted, then you can download Magisk Manager application and have it installed it's necessary frameworks through the app itself. You won't be able to use Magisk's root, but you'll still be able to install systemless Xposed and hide it from other apps.
Edit: Ignore all of that actually, I just realized that magisk requires boot image modifications so you have to have an unlocked bootloader to use it.

FIY Magisk cannot hide Xposed...
I also facing these problem on my rooted Asus zenfone 2 (ze550ml 2gb ram version, Stock ROM, bootloader unlocked) and Asus Zenpad C 7 (p01y, stock rom, bootloader unlocked). The xposed firmware (version 86) is successfully install but can't install any apps from play store and using apk...
I really hope that dev team can solve it.....
Sorry for any grammatical mistakes....
The only way is to flash the firmware
I'm getting the same problem on my LG G4 with v88.2 of Xposed :/
I don't Know if this is too late,but I also have this problem. But there is a work around, go into the xposed installer and turn the switch off so its disabled on the next boot. rebot the device and exposed and its modules are disabled, allowing you to install apps from play store and downloaded .apk files... it would still be nice to install applications while its still on.
Sent from my LG-K550 using XDA Labs
I had this issue on my LGG3. This happens when you have Lucky Patcher enabled in your xposed modules. Disabling it (Lucky Patcher) should solve the problem.
I am about to install Magisk 12.0 but never used Magisk before and suddenly unsure if I need something together with Magisk, like SuperSU or similar?
BTJ
Ok, think I found it.. I can use MagiskSU and that one comes with Magisk-12.zip file?
Also, I see there is some talk about needing to install latest dm-verity and forced encryption disabler? I am running stock OOS 4.1.3 and just need root and perhaps install a custom kernel, for now .
Never mind.. Took a chance and installed twrp, Magisk 12 and Franco kernel and everything seems to be working...

Exact same setup I'm running and it's working great! Time for you to start making some modules next...
Hi all,
I have a problem. I'm using an OnePlus 5 and I can't use Xposed. I have just tried those 2 things. I have magisk updated to 14.0
1) I installed the version 09-09-2017 by dvdandroid, then I installed 26-07-17 v87 sdk25 by PurifyOs, all seems OK xposed tells that is installed and working, so I try to download some modules, activate them, reboot, but when I try to use them they tell me "please activate the module", I tryed clearing cache and dalvik, reinstalling so many times but nothing.
2) So I removed the PurifyOs one, and wanted to try to install the systemless one. I open Xposed, press install, it auto flashes from TWRP but there is a message error "dev/magisk/mirror/bin is not setup properly". So I try to download it as a module from magisk, try to install but gives the same error.
Can you help me? Thanks

Any solutions?

I couldn't activate any modules either, even though framework was green/good.
I re-installed my ROM and re-did the Xposed setup, ensuring I was using the CORRECT files.
Such as for Magisk Xposed vs. non-Magisk Xposed.
It's working now.

If ur on oos with encryption, you need to soft reboot the phone before the modules work.

Already tried, nothing happened
I'm not sure how the OnePlus works in comparison to my Moto G4, but I had the same problem with 7.1.x. I couldn't get Xposed to work on any roms running Nougat. Went and installed an AOSP marshmallow rom and Xposed is working very well. My advice would be to downgrade to marshmallow. It's definitely worth the Xposed compatibility because even if you do get that aspect of it going, many modules don't support nougat yet. I was reluctant when I first heard this, but I' don't regret my decision at all. I'm running 12 modules right now with no issues at all and loving it. Hope this helps.
Hi all, i'm using a stock rom, rooted with magisk and debloated (manually). I always faced this problem, the 90% of the modules i try to install ends with something like that:
See Screen below
However i've never asked help because i tought it was a Magisk problem resolvible with an update...but every update ended always in the same way for me when trying to install some modules. I've also attached some logs here of when i tried to update xposed systemless if someone could help me it will be really apprecciated!
P.s Anyone facing the same problem? I've read somewhere that a similar problem is common with Motorola devices but idk if this is the case

Is this via Magisk manager?

Yes this is via Magisk Manager, however the same error (could not mount something) appears also when i try to install a module via twrp. The "best" thing is that some module just works both way (Busybox NDK for example) while other fails both ways. No module work in a way and doesn't work in another. So basically if a module work in magisk can be installed also via twrp otherwise it cannot be installed, no matter what i try
I have the same problem. Trying to install viper4a.
I have no clue how to fix it

I think this is a bug in Magisk with the way some modules attempt to install and mount, which is why some work.
I'm surprised though that they don't install in TWRP. Is your device encrypted, can you mount /data in recovery?

Well as far as i know, if you're on stock rom you won't be able to install audio mods because they're in conflict with something in the Rom. You should use a custom rom instead. However not sure 100% about this, maybe some audio mods can work, but you should ask someone else, i'm not so informed
As the title states ...v4a is it compatible with pie? Im rooted running a custom rom rooted with magisk. Installed v4a thru magisk manager it installs but i get the install driver /re-install driver message everytime. Is it an workaround to get it working?

infinity rom.
magisk v18 and also newer test canary builds.
but prety sure its an issue where you don't wait 3 minutes after rebooting before doing actions that require root.
and not sure to which extent you tried to make magisk work with various files and mods but maybe you should just factory wipe and try and get magisk working before anything else. also mayke sure busybox is installed. and dont forget that 3 minute rule after a reboot.

Thanks im sure it maybe an magisk issue im running 17.3 because i kept losing root on v18. I acquire root with v4a but it freezes and then keeps telling me to reinstall driver after reboot. I will try the 3 minute rule though..thank you. You installed v4a directly thru magisk or flashed a different version?

I have tried everything for hours to get viper4android to work with no avail until now. Go to the xda download page and select the beta version. Boom. It works. I know you might have long forgot this or already figured it out but I had to share
old legacy magisk module has been working for months and months.
