You need to FULLY unflash superSU using the zip that the other person told you to google.

Yeah that button doesn't work for systemless superSU. It doesn't roll back your boot.IMG like it should.
Worst case scenario, flash the stock boot.img and then flash magisk.

Thanks guys, I installed Magisk v11.1 with MagiskSU working, Magisk Hide enabled but I have CTS mismatch error now in Safetynet test. I guess I cant do nothing about this error. Optimized LineageOS 14.1 and Samsung Galaxy S4
EDIT: Finally I passed the Safetynet test (no CTS mismatch error) disabling ADB interface in developer options. Thanks for Magisk, amazing.

By disabling ADB interface, do you mean the USB debugging part? for some reason I am still getting Safetynet error.

Thanks for this hint; got my build "passed" now appreciate it

What settings are you guys using in Magisk? I have disabled BusyBox, enabled Magisk Hide and systemless hosts. Superuser options are Access to "Apps and ADB" and Automatic Response set to prompt

I'm still having an issue installing Magisk on my phone with RAMROM V10. It gives me an ERROR 1.
It has been suggested that I should re-flash my boot.img with TWRP following the instruction:
Place your BOOT.img on your sdcard
Reboot into TWRP recovery
Tap "Install"
In the bottom right corner tap "Install Image"
Select your BOOT.img
Select the Boot Partition, then swipe to confirm Flash
However, when I follow the step, my TWRP cannot seem to find BOOT.IMG in my SD Card (I know it is there). What did I do wrong? Can anyone help?

i think the .img thingy is only for twrp.img files. You have to use another method to place your boot image like. -> make a backup of only your boot image via twrp backup function. Then duplicate that backup folder of twrp containing only the newly just regernated files, in the twrp folder. Then replace the su-modified boot file there with your original boot file, you obviously have to rename your boot image to fit the right name. (eg. with the logo image -> logo.bin changes to logo.emmc.win -> etc;.) Then use the twrp restore function to restore your "original" boot logo.
Hierarchy folder view would be like:
TWRP->folder 1 (original folder, in case something goes wrong)-> boot file and others
->folder 2 (our modified folder)-> files

FIY: Flashing regular boot.img files works just fine with "Install Image" in TWRP (of course, YMMV, depending on your device).

Is it posible to uninstall Magisk temporarily?

Hi,
Sometimes I have some problems with my devices and want to disable Magisk just to be sure it's not the cause of the problems. My question is - if I uninstall it from Magisk Manager, and then after some time reinstall again will all modules with their configurations remain untouched? If not then is there any way to backup them somehow? Thanks in advance.

As long as you restore the stock boot image and keep the Magisk image intact, you'll have temporarily disabled Magisk and all your modules will still be installed and intact. Just flash the Magisk zip again to enable.
Easiest way to do this should be to use the "Restore Images" option when pressing "Uninstall" in the Manager.

Thank you. will do this that way. When installing again can't I just use "Install" from Magisk Manager?

You can patch your boot image and then flash the patched image manually. You can not install Magisk directly, since that requires superuser access...

Thanks, works like a charm.

Thanks! :good:
"...Easiest way to do this should be to use the "Restore Images" option when pressing "Uninstall" in the Manager." - That's what I did on Galaxy S5 SM-G900M (klteub) running Official 16.0 build 2019-03-04 klte + Open GApps ARM 9.0 Pico + Magisk v18.1 to temporarily disable Magisk so I could test an unofficial addonsu alternative.
Note that a manual reboot is required to disable Magisk after using "Restore Images" as the reboot is not automatic like when using Completely uninstall.
I have 2 questions:
I see that the 99-magisk.sh survival script is still in /system/addon.d/ so if I update the firmware would it restore Magisk & re-enable it?
I'm happy with the addonsu so would running the Latest Uninstaller from the Magisk thread completely delete 100% of the files installed by Magisk & the mods it made to the original setup & in /Data?

Hi, when i select the restore image option it says "stock backup does not exist" but i have it in root/data...

Magisk Module causing freeze at boot

I have a Moto x4 running android 8.1 Oreo with November security patches and magisk v18. Stock recovery and rom. I tried installing a couple magisk modules and the phone won't boot with magisk patched boot image installed. I have restored the stock boot image backup and the phone will run without magisk. I have erased magisk manager's cache, and even uninstalled magisk manager, but the modules are still installed and if i use fastboot boot patched_boot.img it won't boot. My system is encrypted and when I boot the TWRP bootable, I am unable to flash or delete anything outside of the user data or my SD card. I cannot install any zip including magisk manager for recovery or magisk core mode only module. I have tried everything I know to do and then some. Any input or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I would like to avoid resetting my data if possible.
Basically, I think I need to delete magisk.img from my system, but I cannot find it anywhere in my system partition using twrp's file browser. Also, I no longer have root access so I cannot adb root and adb shell into it.

Magisk image is in /data/adb. If you have access to /cache, create a file there named ".disable_magisk" (without quotation marks and with the leading dot). That'll enable Core Only Mode.

unfortunately, both the /data/adb and /cache are encrypted and inaccessible without root.
That is great to know for the future though, thanks

I got it to work. I needed to use the newest twrp bootable image in order to decrypt the data in recovery. Once this was done, I was able to erase magisk.img with no issues at all. Thanks for all the help.

You can always flash a stock boot image. That will disable Magisk completely, but has the drawback of leaving you without root...
To disable or uninstall modules without removing Magisk you would have to have access to /cache (place a file named .disable_magisk, with the leading dot, in /cache and Core Only Mode will be enabled) or /data/adb (delete the Magisk image file) through recovery. Usually not an option on a stock recovery... If there is no custom recovery for your device you might not have many options, but if there is one available and you don't want to install it, you could at least boot it with "fastboot boot recovery <name_of_recovery_file>".

I tried to install TWRP and got it working, I typed /cache/.disable_magisk in terminal and rebooted and the device works, went to magisk manager and no modules was there, disabled core magisk and the device bootloop again...
now I'm trying to reinstall the entire firmware and make a factory reset before reinstalling magisk...
Should this remove modules installed?

If you got the device booting (in Core Only Mode) and still have root you could just use a file explorer, navigate to /sbin/.magisk/img and delete the offending module directories. Or, you could delete the Magisk image file in recovery (it's in /data/adb). Either of those options would remove the modules.

ok I deleted the magisk.img from data/adb/magisk, did a complete unistall from magisk manager (after the unistall the phone reboot to the TWRP without doing anything), sideloaded the magisk unistaller and got "ERROR: 1", after that I rebooted, rebooted again in recovery mode and installed magisk, rebooted, removed the core mode and rebooted again..
It works!!
Thanks a lot

Question How To Update System While Keeping Magisk

I have several modules in Magisk app and couple of apps having root authority after get root with Magisk (like Tasker). Now I want to update system while keeping my magisk apps and root-to-use apps working without any risk of stucking in reboot after install a new ROM.
Could I just firstly patch the boot.img of objective ROM in Magisk, replace the boot.img with magisk_pathed_XXXX.img and flash all the .img files needed? Will this way work? Or any other ways?

while flashing a newer rom version, the magisk modules are not deleted. After flashing the new version install magisk again and everything is working well. Before updatating the rom version "restore hide magisk by itself" if you have enabled it.

If you have modules like SmaliPatcher - These will cause a bootloop after update.
Disable all modules before any update and make sure to Restore the Magisk App if its hidden.

I take from your description that you are flashing a fastboot ROM. In that case you are correct, i.e.
take boot.img from new ROM, patch in Magisk and copy back into the original installation folder. Simplest is to rename the original boot image and name the new magisk boot image: boot.img
now you can simply start the installation batch and it will automatically install the magisk-patched boot.img
If you are using TWRP to flash the ROM this is not needed, just flash the corresponsing magisk installation ZIP/APK in TWRP right after the system update and BEFORE rebooting.
In addition @JazonX gave a good advice , but it really depends on which modules you use.
