Magisk v15.2 not installing

Hello
Okay i flashed my mobile with new OTA
after i try to install magisk but getting error that "Magisk manager stopped" after zip downloaded
i dont know why that happening
after zip downloaded getting black window then pop up shown about error
i think it cant patch boot img properly
in my old rom it works properly, but after flashing it did not work
thank you....

Try installing it in recovery

I sometimes get that majisk stopped toast on just about any ROM and just about any majisk release. I just ignore it. I have no idea of the what or why. Haven't noticed it affecting anything.

Yes. It's happening to me too. Does it work if I flash this update with twrp?

Did you read the responses above? It was already suggested to try that.

After installing magisk 15.2, magisk manager 5.5.3 stuck at the splash screen for me. What's wrong ?

Having the exact same issue on a pixel xl. Tried on 7.1 and 8.1, both with the same result.

I never use manager. Always TWRP, and can people start searching and using the support thread for questions, logs, and bugs instead of keep making a hundred useless threads of the same thing, can't install, can't install modules, etc. That's what support thread for. Thanks.

I am using MIUI 7.12.28 (latest) on Redmid 3S and I can flash magisk 15.2 using TWRP normally but when the phone restart, i go to magisk manager and it shows that magisk is not installed
I tried flash many time but the same problem happen
When i tried to flash magisk 14.0, it works. what is the problem here o_o

Now i can have root with Magisk 14.0 but when i tried to update to 15.2 using TWRP, it just disappear lol
(Flashing normally, no error, restart phone, go to magisk manager -> magisk is not installed )

Magisk Manager "app not installed"

hello guys, hope you can help me here.
so as per title say, i got error when installing magisk manager 5.6.4, app not installed.
have try with older version but got same problem.
before this, i tried to upgrade system from nougat to oreo. successful with flashable roms.
at nougat, i got magisk manager, but couple steps to upgrade they recommended to remove magisk, so i use magisk uninstaller. and magisk gone for good.
after booting to oreo, i want to recover root, but cant even install magisk manager apk.
try to flash magisk 16.0, success with no problem.
now im very confuse. need help.
EDIT 1: and for some reason i cant install OTA. is this related?

Unfortunately I ran into the same problem. I tried installing Magisk Manager (5.6.3 and 5.6.4) on a stock, clean Nexus 6P but received that same error when running the app. I originally used ADB to install it and when that didn't produce the expected result I just used ADB to push the file to the device and then installed it manually. Neither method resulted in Magisk Manager running so I ended up having to install TWRP (which is what I was trying to avoid) and then flash the Magisk zip file. After that Magisk Manager ran successfully.
Too bad the documentation makes assumptions about everyone automatically understanding what is meant by 'install Magisk Manager'.

magisk doesn't apply when flashing

Hello guys,
I made an update in TWRP and installed Havoc 2.4 to try it. After 1 hour I restored my backup and changed back to MIUI. I couldn't log in, so I cleaned the keyfiles to set a new pin.
I reflashed new Beta (25.4 MIUI - Xiaomi.eu) ROM and Magisk but root does not apply on my device... What is wrong? Seems that it's not possible to root anymore... Its does not give me any fails when installing the magisk 18.1 zip in TWRP...
thanks in advance

Have you tried a simple reboot? Usually it takes a reboot more to apply.

no it's not that. now its always booting into twrp when I try to flash magisk

Extract the boot.image from the rom and place it in your downloads folder.
Now with Magisk Manager , download and install Magisk to that boot image
Magisk will write root to the boot.image file and then will automatically flash the the updated boot image, and restart to system >>> Issue resolved.

I fixed it by wiping data... now its working

I have the same problem with magisk, after weekly update and after magisk installed, boot only TWRP. I tried with18.1 version but will not recognise. Boot image and Magisk 19.1 are in downloads but no success. Anyway, with this weekly update all people have loosen magisk, I have read in Xiaomi forum.

Nope, no issues on my Mi 8. Here is the trick. When updating do not flash Magisk until you out have booted into the system and ran updates and deleted cache and trash, then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk.
If the method that I described before in the previous post doesn't work, then unpack the boot image from the update and flash it to boot in recovery then flash Magisk Canary debug.
I have been doing this for every weekly update using the beta ROM.
I had an issue just once that was resolved by flashing SuperSu, booting to system confirming root, then reboot to recovery and removing Su, flashing the boot and Magisk Canary

Man has found the guilty in Xiaomi.eu/community.
It is not Magisk, but Viper 4.2. I have flashed Magisk, after reboot again in recovery and wanted to flash version 4.1. It was uninstalled, have no Viper, but Magisk is installed ?

I no longer use Viper because my phone has 1 speaker and for me Ainur Sauren works pretty well for all sounds.
For listening to music I have the Pro version of Power amp which has every wanted option such as dynamic compression, dynamic EQ, convolution reverb, limiting , tag editing, visualizations etc, I bought it 5 years ago for $3. Best 3 bucks that I ever spent!
Seriously, I can't recommend Poweramp highly enough, its worth its weight in gold.

Installed Magisk 19.3 using TWRP, seems not installed in Magisk Manager.

Hello,
I flashed a stock ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 running Android 7.0.
Then I installed TWRP, and with that Magisk 19.3. All were installed successful, however after rebooting there was no Magisk Manager app, so I installed this myself.
When opening the Magisk Manager app it shows that Magisk has not been installed.. how can I fix this?
I've been trying for 10 hours now, I really need help.
Before flashing the ROM I had TWRP installed with SuperSU.

1. Uninstall Super SU
2. Uninstall Magisk from TWRP (using uninstall.zip)
3. Install Magisk.zip latest version in TWRP
4. Install Magisk Manager latest version using APK
Remember to use both latest versions of Magisk (zip and apk).
It should work for you.

The thing is, I did a full clean stock ROM install and there is no SuperSu app left on my device.
If I download the SuperSu APK now it says I don't have ROOT access and therefore I cannot uninstall SuperSu using the APK.
I have used Root Checker Basis (app) to check if there is a ROOT available, but it says ROOT access is not properly installed on this device.
Is it still possible for SuperSu to be installed on my device while I cannot see or find it? Even after a clean install?
Also, I believe 19.3 is the latest version of Magisk. I also tried 19.2, but I am having the same problem with that version.

I don't know what the smartphone you have but the best way is to get boot.img from stock firmware and then patch it via Magisk Manager (you can install it even if you don't have root). Then after boot.img is patched you can flash it instead of the standard boot.img (any method you are doing it now).
BTW: the latest version of Magisk is 19.4. Check it on Magisk repository.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (T825). I used a stock firmware from SamMobile (which exists of 5 times an .tar.md5 file) and flashed it on my device using Odin.
[EDIT] So here is what I did. Made a back-up using TWRP, and used that boot.img to patch in Magisk Manager.
Now I have a patched IMG file. But when I want to install it using TWRP I have to pick a partition and I am not sure which one to pick.
[EDIT] I tried installing it, and it was successful, yet shows the Magisk manager app that there is no ROOT available.
I guess I just need to start from the very beginning over again. Can you help me with that?
I have stock firmware .zip for my T825 from SamMobile which I can install using Odin.
I also have a working TWRP .zip file that works fine with that firmware on my device.
Other than that I'll need guidance because I keep screwing up :')
Your help is much appreciated

I did a factory reset, flashed TWRP, and installed Magisk using TWRP. After rebooting there was no Magisk Manager app (but it did install a TWRP app).
I installed the Manager app with a downloaded .apk (latest version) and it shows that Magisk is not installed.
So, I want to try patching my .img file using the manager app. The only problem is that I do not have an .img file, as I used . md5 files.
Can I make a back-up with TWRP and use the .img file from there?

Magisk v22.0 update confusion

So i was minding my own business then i notice "Magisk Manager" have red dot notification on it's icon upon opening there's update for "Magisk Manager" app and "Magisk" itself... so i decided to first Install the "Magisk Manager" update and it went real smooth
but when i try to update Magisk itsaid "Magisk Manager is Dead. Love live the Magisk app" then it ask me for Method
"Select and Patch file" or "Direct Install" now at this point idk what to do. I have at least done 3x Magisk update installation already it never ask me this option also when i try download root checker on playstore itsaid im rooted i just want to update Magisk should i patch my stock boot.img again or what??

For me this has been the case all this time for Magisk updates - I get that choice, and I choose 'direct install'. This time also I chose the same - 'direct install'. It got installed and prompted me to reboot.

You can try going to the Magisk GitHub and download the app and install it through file manager and try updating again. I did that accidentally and had no issues installing.

I have the app already but after they decided to merge Magisk Manager and Magisk in just one apps i can't update Magisk anymore also i have stock boot.img of my device that i have previously patched via Magisk so it's just unusual for Magisk Manager to ask me again ...

I downloaded the apk from GitHub and installed it over the updated one. I was able to do a direct update. I was just suggesting it. Couldn't hurt to try it.

Same here. Worked on Xiaomi Note 10 Pro (Tucana) with Android 10.
Did not work on Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G (Monet) with Android 11. (The phone booted into fastboot-mode, so I had to extract the original boot.img from an original ROM and flashed it via fastboot-command to get the phone back booting to system).

Can you tell more? How did you extract the boot.img? Did you get it from the newest Android full OTA? DId it just straight up work after flashing the new boot.img? I'm asumming it was an unpatched one, right?

There isn't one, because there is no separate zip anymore:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/releases/22000.html

Why?
I'm so confused.
I'm on Lineageos 17 on Oneplus 6
I used to install magisk with the zip and it went smoothly now I don't have the option anymore..
How can you do when you use OTA update?

Sorry, I skipped that part and when directly to the one saying you had to patch BOOT.IMG..
Many thanks

Didgeridoohan;
I understand that the 'Manager' now has become the 'App'. I also understand to just rename the '.apk' file to '.zip' to flash from an OTA update event. I also understand that the '.apk' now with this latest release has everything you need to install Magisk.
I have had Magisk already installed like this: https://ibb.co/gvPzDs7
So, after I updated, can I ask what do I do about the problem of 'update' indicating via the Magisk Home page on the App?
I mean now I have this: https://ibb.co/HXLCvLS
Just don't worry about it?
Thank-you for your help.

Magisk still consists of two parts, Magisk app and Magisk internals, they're now just distributed together.
What your screenshot shows is that you've now updated the app, but not yet the internals...

Do not update simply as the update is Device bricking.

Have never had an issue went to update to latest Magisk app, followed directions and restored it first, everything seemed fine, then went to flash Magisk itself from the app (Direct install) like always, didn't seem to do anything, checked the...

I updated my magisk to version 22, and it looks ok, except for the bottom menu that disappeared, does anyone know where it went or is it a bug?
