Magisk Issue On OmniROM 8.1 - Magisk

I'm using official Omni 8.1. The issue I'm facing is that the Magisk Manager can't seem to remember the apps it has granted Superuser permission. Even in the Superuser tab it shows "No apps found". Result being I have to grant Superuser permission every time when I open an app like Root Explorer.
Please look into this issue.
Magisk Manager: v5.5.2
Magisk Root: v15.1 Stable

I don't have this issue on version 5.5.0 and 15.1 on the latest Omni 8.1 weekly on my Oneplus 3T.
Edit: You didn't mention what device, so I doubt anyone would be able to help you. But I guess you're running a Oneplus 3T or a Oneplus 5 since there are no 8.1 Omni weeklies for any other devices, yet. Maybe you could try to attach some logs.

For me Magisk v15.1 doesn't boot anymore, it just fails and goes back to recovery.
v14.6 works fine.
Omni 8.1 on Oneplus 5T

Same problem here. Any solution?

Look into this issue, doesn't boot, solutions?
Where are the logs?
How do you expect someone to help you without that?

For all the praise Magisk seems to get, it sure does have some issues. Lately, it's been kind of a lottery figuring out which version will work with which ROM... These things never happend to me on SuperSu

I'd say it has to do with the incredible speed that the Magisk development has been going at. Looking back over the past year, a lot has happened. This kind of speed can cause instabilities...
Now, it's most likely at a point where the focus will be on stability and compatibility development.
Having said that, though, all users experiencing issues can help with that by providing as much details as possible and relevant logs.

I can confirm this. It seems Magisk has a problem opening the sqlite3 database, on OmniROM 8.1 at least.
The Superuser request can be granted, and it goes through (as in the app gets its root access), however nothing is permitted "forever".
Superuser log in Magisk Manager is empty, so is the list of apps granted Superuser access.
From my log:
Code:
sqlite3 open failure: unable to open database file
Either the sqlite3 database is located somewhere else, or Magisk didn't get the correct writing rights during the install. Did something change regarding this in 8.1?
There is also a somewhat unrelated issue with Magisk Hide, where the hidelist-file doesn't exist/wasn't initially created upon installation:
Code:
fopen: /sbin/.core/img/.core/hidelist failed with 2: No such file or directory
Full log attached.

Two things I'm curious about (at the moment):
What are the permissions for /data/adb/magisk.db?
Do you now have a hidelist file in /sbin/.core/img/.core?

There is no such file in that location. There is a magisk.img in that folder with -rw-r--r--, and a magisk/ folder but not containing any magisk.db file either.
Yes, there is now a hidelist file in /sbin/.core/img/.core with -rw-rw-rw-
Bonus info:
I did a complete wipe (I initially did that but I wanted to be certain), and I got this error while installing Magisk right after OmniROM (also see attached):
Code:
! System installed root detected, mount rw :(
Now, OmniROM doesn't ship with root built in - at least not to my knowledge. So I don't know what this "system installed root" Magisk is detecting.

Number 1 is an issue, because that's the su database... If there is none, it's no wonder why granted superuser requests aren't saved.

Hi, do you have a solution?

@Didgeridoohan i am facing same issue like this . it keeps asking for superuser req .

As far as I know, so far the only known working solution is to reformat /data as ext4. Or stay on an old version of Magisk.

which version you suggest also my /data is ext4 only .
also i would like to tell you one more thing after tinkering little bit and observed following things
as soon as i dont open the magsik app and using root by simple toast and granting the permission it works but as soon as i open the app , it starts misbehaving . i wonder why .

Let me guess: you're not using OmniROM...
Since you're posting in this thread, I kind of assumed you did, so my answer was given accordingly.
If you need help, post all possible details and lots of relevant logs.

I've had the same error. Magisk seems unstable on OmniROM 8.1 on OnePlus 5. Probably an issue with the ROM, but the developer seems like the kind of guy who will tell you to go f*ck yourself if you have a problem like this.
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

A temporary workaround with the permission issue on /data/adb/magisk.db, even after not working trying 0666 permissions, was to change ownership. None of many other solutions worked for me until I found the user for Magisk. You can use a shell as root or with apps like FX File Explorer with root capability to see which user owns files in "/data/adb/magisk/" . Then I applied that user as the owner of magisk.db. Verified that apps which ask for root permission get saved now. The user of Magisk will be different for you since it is marked as "app_##' which I suppose is up to the amount of apps you have installed.

I have a problem and think it caused by the same reason other users here.. My issue is after installing omni rom and gapps ONLY i can't use my banking apps because ( i guess) it thinks my device is rooted.
Device : oneplus 5
I wasn't planning to root my device to keep those kind of issues away

No... I don't think so. This thread is about an issue with Magisk and f2fs on Android 8.1 ROMs. Your issue could be that OmniROM sets some sensitive props to triggering values.
That can be taken care of by using Magisk and MagiskHide. Take a look here for more info:

If you decide to install Magisk, this part of the guide might also be useful (all of it is useful, really):

Magisk is consistently causing my Settings app to hang after booting

I have no proof of this, but this has been happening on my Note 4 (SM-N910T) ever since v13.3, and now on v14.0. I also bought a Huawei Honor 6X about a week ago, it's now happening there too. I didn't feel that this was worth posting about, figuring it might be device-specific or ROM-specific. But now that it's happening on 2 devices I've changed my mind.
Note 4:
Android 7.1.2 (CMRemix)
Xposed unofficial by PurifyOS (system mode)
Kernel sets SELinux to permissive on boot
Magisk v14.0
No Magisk modules installed
Honor 6X:
Android 7.1.2 (Resurrection Remix)
Xposed (systemless Magisk version)
Kernel sets SELinux to permissive on boot
Magisk v14.0
No Magisk modules installed
Description of the issue:
After powering on/rebooting, I can't open system Settings app for up to a minute or so. It just hangs on a white screen. It then either gives a message stating that Settings isn't responding, or, if I manually close Settings with the Recent button then try to reopen it, it repeats the same behavior but will eventually open. Sometimes I need to access Settings immediately after boot to make changes. Device is otherwise responsive, Magisk appears to work fine.
I have tried clean ROM installs on both devices, with full wipes beforehand, and latest stable Magisk. I've also tried with and without Xposed, results are the same. This didn't happen before v13.3, v11.x and v12.x didn't exhibit this behavior. But back this I was using systemless SuperSU in conjunction with Magisk. I suspect that MagiskSU may be the culprit.
MagiskSU is also noticeably slower (when compared to SuperSU or non-Magisk Phh's Superuser) at responding to SU requests, even with a setting of auto-grant and the lowest possible timeout (10 seconds), and global mount namespace. This may be due to the fact that does more than just rooting, it is logical to assume that it has more background processes running since it is also a systemless framework, whereas the other 2 solutions only manage root access.
Last, my file managers oftentimes won't let me delete/modify certain files/folders in the system partition, with a message like "device or resource busy", or flat-out denying access. System is remounted as RW. This only happens with Magisk, but never with SuperSU or Phh. I do use Magisk for systemless mods, but sometimes I want to make direct midifications to /system. Magisk, as a root solution, shouldn't be denying my ability to do this, since I own my devices, not Magisk.
Right now I'm primarily concerned with the Settings issue, but I figured the other issues are worth mentioning. I'm still on the fence, I may return to SuperSU, or Phh, trying Magisk again after a few more stable releases. But if this can be resolved then I'll give it another chance.
I'm posting the logs for my Honor 6X, one is the Magisk log from /cache, the other is /data/anr/traces.txt. Attempts to get a logcat during boot were unsuccessful.
Thanks for any help!
Magisk saves a log during boot that you might find useful. It's /data/magisk_debug.log. A logcat from when the device has booted up and you're trying to open up the Settings might also be interesting.
Have you tried on a stock ROM? Both those ROMs you're using are related and may have similar ROM specific issues...
dont open setting immediately after reboot. open it after a minute. not really a problem
It is not Magisk problem that cause this problem but it is the rom...i'm also using RR 7.1.2 on bacon and Magisk v14 and have no problem at all but we bacon user does encountered this problem in RR build in July and the devs fixed this on August build....

@all: I've been super busy lately, not much time to post anywhere. But getting back to this.....I doubt this is a ROM issue. My reasoning is that it would occur with or without Magisk if that were the case. I don't get this issue when using SuperSU or non-Magisk Phh Superuser (regular). This only occurs when Magisk is installed, since v13.3, but not before that version. It has also occurred on Huawei stock EMUI firmware.
@24imelqui: Just because you don't consider something to be a problem doesn't mean it isn't a problem for others. I have a need to be able to access my Settings app immediately after booting. Your comment isn't useful in the least, if you can't post something helpful then don't post at all. /Ignored.....
@iPusak Gaoq™: isn't Bacon a Nexus device (not sure, never owned one)? Can you reference something where this has been reported? And fixed? Like something on XDA or GitHub or whatever? If this can be proven to be ROM issue then I'll post something to my devices' devs to see if it can be fixed in later releases.
I'm attaching several logs, this time a logcat as well. No such debug log exists in /data, and Magisk v14.0 has no options in the Manager app for debug logging.

There have been issues previously, where it seems like it's a Magisk thing but it's really a ROM issue. Some things Magisk does (and it does a few more things than just root your device) can sometimes bring problems out into the light...
I believe bacon refers to the OnePlus One (Nexus devices are all named after aquatic creatures). Looking in the RR thread over in those forums I'd guess you'll find your information somewhere around here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...tion-remix-t3507102/post73283623#post73283623
About your logs: I'm not too good at reading logcats, so no help from me there. But, I see something there in your Magisk log... Have you tried disabling Xposed?
There are things going on when a device with Magisk starts, so depending on your setup it might take a short while (30-ish seconds for me on my daily driver) before root requests start being accepted. If the ROM settings require root, that might be the reason why it won't open straight away when booting up your device.
OK, back again, Xposed disabled this time in the app (but still installed), so not active.
Here is the full changelog on the build where the devs fixed the issues on settings freeze/fc on startup....

[BUG] MagiskHide does not work on Hanabank app. (strace log attached)

Hello, everyone.
Few days ago, I found Hanabank app (com.hanabank.ebk.channel.android.hananbank) detects Magisk hide. I ran strace against Hanabank app, and I got some suspicious openat(2) returns -EACCES and even some files are not filtered by Magisk Hide (returns file descriptor successfully)
Here are openat(2) calls which don't look good.
Code:
[pid 27855] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sbin_orig/magisk", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 91
[pid 27855] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/dev/magisk/mirror/system", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
[pid 27855] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/magisk", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
[pid 27855] fstatat64(AT_FDCWD, "99-magisk.sh", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=2011, ...}, 0) = 0
Full strace log of Hanabank app:
Code:
https://pastebin.com/BUiViAbK
I think they should return -ENOENT to pass that magisk detection routine.
I'm using Magisk v14.0
BTW, why Magisk Github issue tracker is disabled?
Having the same issue but with another app.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73968022&postcount=19348
How did you run strace? I used strace -f -p PID-o /sdcard/strace.txt but no reference to Magisk is shown.

First, sorry for late reply. I was on vacation.
I used this script to attach strace to fresh app process.
Code:
while true; do
while ! ps | grep -q -i $1; do :; done;
ps | grep -i $1 | while read a b c; do
strace -e open -f -e trace=file,ptrace -p $b 2>&1;
done;
done
For example, if you saved this script as /sdcard/strace.sh, The procedure I take to attach strace to the app is;
1. use killall command to kill all app process. Android pre-forks app, so we need to kill that first.
2. run script using sh /sdcard/strace.sh <app_process_name>. This will attach strace to the app and redirects strace's stderr output to stdout.
2-1. Do whatever you want (use tee or just redirect it to file, etc..) with stdout stream.
3. Analyze collected result.
That's all.

Hi
Just now I realised that I responded in the other thread. However your script never worked
I ran the script in a shell with root permission using
Code:
sh /sdcard/strace.sh com.barclays.android.barclaysmobilebanking
Unfortunately this is what I get when I try to run the script
Code:
/sdcard/strace.sh[5]: syntax error: 'done' unexpected
What have I done wrong?
EDIT: I've done this test on another device, a Nexus 5X stock 7.1.2 + Magisk v14. If I run strace it is not found, I have installed busybox but nothing! WAT??? I'll test with the other device later which has strace (Nexus 5).
EDIT2: Nope, I get the same error on the device which has strace.

Hmm, I used sh which included in LineageOS.... I think Android's default sh couldn't handle that script's syntax properly. Default sh is quite crippled compared to GNU/Linux's one (bash, zsh, etc..)
Could you try running this script using bash instead of sh? If you don't have bash on your Android system, this Magisk module could inject bash binary into your system. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magisk-bash-shell-t3609988

The funny thing is that I can't find a single reference to Magisk or Root...

Indeed. However the app dies shortly after reading the two property files:
/dev/__properties__/ubject_r:default_prop:s0
/dev/__properties__/ubject_r:logd_prop:s0
I would try to get the output of getprop with and without Magisk installed and see if there are any properties being leaked that could give a hint that Magisk is installed.

You are the man! You definitely spotted the method being used by this app. Thanks.
I had to leave LOS ROM because even without Magisk it would not run, so I installed another ROM. I verified the app runs, got props, installed Magisk and got new props.
There are all changes:
1. [ro.build.selinux]: [1] is changed to [ro.build.selinux]: [0] when Magisk is installed
2. [ro.runtime.firstboot] shows different values but I believe it's fine
3. The following are entirely missing when Magisk is installed
[selinux.reload_policy]: [1]
[service.adb.tcp.port]: [-1]
[sys.retaildemo.enabled]: [0]
[init.svc.clear-bcb]: [stopped]
I have the feeling that [ro.build.selinux]: [1] and [selinux.reload_policy]: [1] are key elements and Magisk is not hiding them properly. I would suppose these elements show that SELinux is not enforcing anymore. I tried changing these values, but at reboot they don't change.
I know obviously Magisk does not enforce SELinux, but hides that got set to Permissive. System thinks that is enforcing, and using command getenforce i get as a result Enforcing, but Barclays (and possibly other apps) are reading that SELinux is not actually being enforced.
Interesting. Will post these finding in the main thread.
Do you have anything to add that could be helpful?

If you use "resetprop ro.build.selinux 1" in a root shell, does the app start?
That will disappear at reboot of course, but it's easy to add to /magisk/.core/props to make it stick until Magisk is fixed.
Now, I don't think Magisk disables SELinux, why do you have it disabled?

Yes, Magisk changes SELinux to Permissive and hides this status.
Although my findings would be legit and those props should be hidden, in my Bank's case is not the issue.
I have discovered that if I uninstall Magisk Manager (but not uninstall root, just the app) my bank app works. However it does not work if I use "Hide Magisk".
Since the hidden app is called Unhide Magisk Manager, probably this app is looking for Magisk keyword.
For whatever reason when I run strace the app does crash and always reports that message (crash after reading prop).
I will post these findings in the support thread.
I don't know how to do it, but I would recompile Magisk Manager changing package ID and name, in theory should work.
I am having the same issue on my Galaxy S8 with the Barclays Mobile Banking app. I have tried using every option in Magisk but nothing seems to be working. In fact, the Barclays app actually asked for SU permissions when I first ran it which is odd to me.
Did anyone find a workaround for this? I read the posts in this thread but I am not savvy enough to understand all the codes and technical information written, so please excuse my ignorance in the matter. Is reverting to a completely stock ROM my only option at this point? I really need to start using this application as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Quick update guys!
The great Topjohnwu is working on a new update that includes a key feature for us: reinstalling Magisk Manager with a random package ID.
These changes are in his Github Repo. On this thread you can find unofficial versions of Magisk compiled from Github.
I have tested Magisk-v14.4-20171102-091345.zip: HELL IT WORKS!
In Magisk Manager: go to settings and you will have the option to reinstall Magisk Manager with a random package ID
Install Barclays from Play Store
Add Barclays to Magisk Hide
Open Barclays, it will behave correctly and will work!
This solves my problem, so I will be able to use the latest version of this app very soon (will wait for public beta).
On a side note, this update should als hide /Magisk partition, which was detected by @perillamint banking app, so might be worth trying it.
I have installed this Hanabank app (hopefully is the right one!) and added it to Magisk Hide. The app opens up correctly but I can't understand anything. I see some stuff moving on screen and on the upper left I see a lock icon (to login?)
If I don't add the app to Magisk Hide it shows an incomprehensible message and closes.
Hope you find this helpful.
Please see photos below.
@olivercervera
What are your exact steps? I installed the latest version from this thread, and added barclays to magisk hide, and then in settings, clicked in hide magisk manager. When I clicked in unhide magisk manager, it asked me for root permision for something with a random name, so I guess it worked, but I couldn't get the Barclays app to run. Is that a fresh install of your phone? I remember that if it detected your root once, it would be blocked forever, until you get a new ID. Did you call barclays to get your app working again?
On top of that, I clicked on hide magisk manager again, and now I can't unhide it, the app does nothing when I click on it... :crying:
Thanks for your help in any case, and thanks for the tip regading the new functionality!

On top of that, I clicked on hide magisk manager again, and now I can't unhide it, the app does nothing when I click on it... :crying:
Thanks for your help in any case, and thanks for the tip regading the new functionality!

Yes, a fresh start from a stock Nexus 5X I have at work. I did not register the app with my account during the test, all I needed to do was to get to the Welcome Screen: if Barclays detects root you don't get anything. Probably you need to reinstall Barclays App.
Once Magisk Manager is hidden with the new ID you can't go back to the original: you don't have any option. So if you still have it means there is a problem.

What are your exact steps? I installed the latest version from this thread, and added barclays to magisk hide, and then in settings, clicked in hide magisk manager.

He's talking about a new Hide Manager feature that is much improved from the current implementation. It's not yet available officially, so you'll have to build yourself from the GitHub repo, or download from the unofficial snapshots thread that @olivercervera linked.

I didn't even consider the possibility he didn't realise I was using the unofficial/self compiled version... I even linked it!!!

It's actually quite apparent that he's talking about the current implementation, since the updated, unreleased, feature doesn't have anything named "unhide" to click.
With the new implementation you unhide the hidden Manager by reinstalling and opening it.
Hi guys,
Yes, I installed the latest version, following the link OliverCervera linked. I hid it using the usual method of going to options/hide magisk, and I got a new app, as usual. clicking on it to unhide prompted for root permissions for an app with a random ID (as expected). The next time, I wasn't that lucky, and the whole thing crashed. Anyway, it's a nightly, so I won't complain, and I will check it later, as sadly I don't have time to do it now.
In any case, my app was marked, because I opened it with the official release of Magisk and it detected root, and once it does, it keeps the "this phone is rooted" status until you do a factory reset. I think you can call them to tell them that it was a mistake, and they can unlock it but I'm not 100% sure about this last point.
Thanks for the work, anyway!

If you install the correct version of the Manager you won't have an unhide app after hiding the Manager. That's changed...
Your problem is probably that the unofficial Manager has a different signature, so it won't install over the official Manager. Solution: Uninstall the official Manager before installing the unofficial snapshot.
Have you tried just clearing all data for the app after it detects root? That usually works for an app that "remembers" root. But, I've never tested the app in question so...

I think they keep your signature and store it on their servers. Barclays is really focused when it comes to not allowing people to use their app on rooted phones, but as I said, I would need to double check. And I kind of get why they do it, as they went all the way to avoid to pay Android to use Android Pay and they developed their own platform to pay over NFC (not judging here, it's up to them if they think it's the best solution). At the end of the day, root is exploited through a security flaw, and "the bad guys could get your moneys", and even though they could display a message at launch that says "hey, you are rooted, the bad guys could get AAAALLL of the moneys, it's up to you" people would still want to sue them if they mess up... but it's funny that they allow you to get into the online banking web on a rooted phone, where the bad guys could see your password...

Magisk has silly bug request rejected

@topjohnwu
Its been long i have been experiencing this same problem since magisk v15 and i am not the one who is getting this issue.
When you flash magisk everything is fine and you get su prompt without any issue.
But if you see after sometime maybe like 10 or15days its not sure it comes random and new app you install yoj never get prompt of su request.
Issue in magisk log is same as others
04-26 07:54:08.656 26879 26879 E Magisk : write failed with 32: Broken pipe
04-26 07:54:23.254 27099 27099 W Magisk : su: request rejected (10240->0)

that 10412 is random number maybe uid
But saved su request apps keeps working as fine they can execute su commands which are saved in magisk manager but new apps never get the prompt.
So i think this issue is somewhat related to magisk manager app which doesnot repond, even though i have made sure magisk manager is in my recent app not killed still no prompts.
Now i am fed up with this so posted this issue.
The only thing which works for me i have taken data backup of magisk manager and restore it so my apps stays working fine.
Temp fix whivh always work for me is i have tk flash system image in twrp backup restore and then after sometime after reboot magisk shows prompt, dont know whats this.
My devices are s7 and s9+ exynos same issue on both since v15 i started using magisk.
Full logs attached.
I think I faced the same issue (or at least something similar) two or three times, I will try to get some logs for the next time.
This needs to be analyzed properly every user gets this but we ignore wven for me it is not working even after jninstalling and installing magisk
Every user is not experience this... As an example, I've never seen it. But, that doesn't mean that there isn't an issue, of course.
You're completely correct that it would need further analysis to know what's going on with your device. To me it sounds like your system is killing of the Magisk daemon (or something similar).
Your mention that you have to reflash the system to get things working, but that sounds a bit drastic. What else have you tried? Have you tried simply force closing the Magisk Manager, etc?
And of course, if you're really serious about analysing things you'll have to grab logs showing exactly what's going on.

I've seen reports of it, yes, but it's far from a universal issue. The main problem is that the required details for any kind of "fix" generally is missing from the reports (just a plain Magisk log is usually inadequate).
My guess is that it's likely caused by to aggressive OEM implementations of battery optimisation or the likes thereof.

I have already added magisk manager to unoptimized apps in battery, dont know what is wrong only @topjohnwu can help.
Right now i didnot flashed system because i want to figure jt out whh this is happening, i can test if topjohnwu guides what he needs
hope topjohnwu will fix it soon
I managed to get it work again. Sharing what i did in sequence:
1. Delete all module in magisk. Trash can icon. Reboot.
2. In magisk manager, uninstall > clear images. Reboot.
3. In magisk manager, uninstall > complete uninstall. Reboot automatically.
4. Reboot to recovery. Flash magisk uninstaller .zip. clear dalvik/cache. Reboot to system.
5. Install magisk manager apk. Reboot.
6. Reboot to recovery. Flash magisk 19.1 zip. Clear dalvik/cache. Reboot to system.
Try su at terminal trigger magisksu prompt after step 6.
Hope this helps.
I have a blu dash l 4.4.2 with twrp and I'm also facing this or similiar issue with su request rejected in log, permission denied in terminal, modules flash but magiskhide and superuser do not. I have tried many things with no luck.
No display over other apps, battery, or any other permission settings included. Only 20.4 flashes on my devices others say unsupported image format. 7.1.1 magisk manager seems to be only one which says additional update but then goes to setup failed. Magisk app settings others ok, tried toggling root access, canary settings crash. Have tried to copy and chmod rw 600 to libdirect file from another device to vendor and lib folders because my device does not appear to have it included. Minimal adb fastboot module tip no luck as well as reflashing stock.
Would like to try to add "(sleep) 1 to early_mount " as I read somewhere but not sure how exactly. No luck yet manually updating magisk.db but I am hoping there is someway to have it fully functioning automatically somehow. Any help much appreciated
i have the same issue ,i was rooting my huawei with magisk ..
To resolve this you need to go to magisk manager press install (the first one) ,recovery mode (if needed) and then direct install ,this worked for me

Magisk appears to be installed and granting root to apps, but none of the apps works

I just installed magisk succesfully(?) on my xperia 5 ii following this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-5-ii/how-to/guide-magisk-twrp-recovery-t4177209/page7
Using the beta channel (stable simply doesn't even boot), magisk manager shows v21 installed. However none of the root apps I tried so far (busybox, adaway, system app remover) works. All of them give some kind of error. The root privileges are being granted (I get the promt to grant/deny and the popup that root was granted). This is very weird and the first time it happens to me on any device. The root browser file managers shows the "root directory" with 0 free space incorrectly (1.6GB used - 1.72 total) I tried copying a file inside the /system directory and it just didn't do anything. I tried reinstalling magisk from the manager, but its still the same. Any help will be appreciated, I really have no idea what to try at this point.
Hard to say... What's "some kind of error"? Maybe the Magisk logs show something (although you'd likely have to switch to the Canary channel to get any useful logs).
I think it's best to wait for a reply to your query in the thread you linked. That's likely to be the best place to get help, since that's where you find other users of the same device...

G9+ & Adaway: Ads show up

I have two G9+ phones, both rooted with Adaway installed. One has the stock ROM (Android 10) & the other has LineageOS 18.1.
On the phone with Lineage there are no ads when running a particular game. The same version of the game on Moto Android 10 has ads.
There is some app I don't understand called Moto GameTime that appeared when I started the game but I have disabled it. (I tried to move GameTime out of system using system/app mover but I got an error: "Could not remount /system".)
Still, Google ads appear with the stock ROM despite having Adaway.
Everything looked ok in Adaway. It tells me its three sources are up to date. When I try to reload & reinstall hosts from those sources I get an error: "Unable to copy hosts file to /system partition. Please check Magisk systemless module is enabled the reboot." (Magisk Manager shows Magisk 23.0 is installed.)
Something is causing problems that seem to involve lack of access to the /system partition. I don't know if that is related to the appearance of ads on the stock ROM, but any thoughts? How can I fix this?
As I've stimulated no response here, I took the ugly step of wiping the phone, flashing the experimental LineageOS and restoring everything from backup (not a fully successful process because the data for certain apps was not backed up by Super Backup & Restore).
At least there are now no ads getting through onto the phone.
The issue you are having is related to stock Android 10. It does not allow you to make any changes to the system partition, as it won't allow you to mount it as r/w. There is a workaround for it (currently in development stages). It's a flash able zip script that dumps the super partition "fixes" it and flashes it back. Your phone must have the bootloader unlocked and be rooted for it to work. It currently works for A only devices without any issues, but is throwing an lpmake error 73 for mysterious/unknown reasons, but a fix is in the works. I will post a link when I get home.
I assume the phone is rooted with Magisk which is a systemless root method. Even with older devices /system remains unmodified. All changes are only overlays/modules managed by the Magisk App.

This could also be done with a own module. See instructions here.

Thanks. I decided to replace the stock ROM with LOS18.1. That problem solved. (Got a new one: can't use data over the phone connection.)

I fixed the issue by ditching Android 10 for LOS 18.1. But thanks for the pointer.

I'm glad you got it figured out. The data issue, along with many other bugs will be rectified any day now with the new release. The issue you are having with LOS 18.1 is because at the time of development the kernel for A11 hadn't been released by Moto yet. However, they did finally release it a little under 2 weeks ago. So the new version of it will be much much better. It will be linked to the same link I posted. It's just a matter of time now, and not much of it.
