I've had magisk installed since version 6, I've published some magisk modules already and never had a problem until today.
After a full clean reinstall of Nougat NBD90Z (with wipe) on my Nexus 6 and then flashing Magisk, phh's superuser for magisk, installing phh's superuser apk from play store and magisk manager apk I stumbled upon a previously reported (without details) bug where magisk manager would refuse to install modules from repo claiming they are not magisk modules.
I've struggled trying everything I could including the full wipe (more details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-app-systemizer-t3477512/69230448#69230448) and bounced some ideas off @pnwsr6 who's had the similar problem on Nexus 6 device.
I've achieved a partially working Magisk Manager (manual installs of ZIP files work, but installs from repo still fail) and here's the list of steps which lead to me having semi-working magisk manager again:
1. I flashed ZIP files of some modules in twrp (I'm attaching App Systemizer and Nexus 6 LED Enabler which I flashed)
2. After the phone booted up I saw the modules active and working
3. Within Magisk Manager I then added the ZIP file of the phh's superuser module from that thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3893967&d=1475554052)
4. Now at least manual installation of modules within Magisk Manager are working fine.
@topjohnwu -- I've enabled verbose logging and extra logging for bash commands, but I'm still not seeing anything in the log on top of the regular output.
Created an issue against Magisk Manager so it's easier to track for developers: https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/issues/20
Looks like that even after flashing some modules in twrp, Magisk Manager only allows to install from zip only exactly the same ZIP I've already flashed (even a minor change and bump of versionCode results in "This ZIP is not a Magisk Module!"). So it might be an issue of Magisk Manager being unable to write to /magisk despite having storage permission and being granted root access.
Well, it works now (you'll have to wipe again). So here's the sequence of events:
1. Flashed @RatchetPanda's busybox http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3850579&d=1471875389 from twrp -- got stuck on a boot animation, rebooted again in twrp, flashed magisk uninstall and it didn't help for some reason.
2. So I force-rebooted into fastboot and flashed nbd90z with wipe.
3. After apps were restored and everything was set up, I booted into twrp (it didn't even ask me if I want to allow /system modifications for some reason), added magisk v8 and phh's r259 root to the list, flashed them both.
4. Once the phone booted I could again install modules from repo/zips.
Maybe something didn't get properly wiped first two times but it's working now @pnwsr6!
I've seen this error as well on my Nexus 6 NBD90Z with Magisk v8. Started with v7 after some heavy modification on my part .
I was sometimes able to fix it by simply extracting the zip and then Magisk Manager would somehow recognize it as a module.. Other times I could extract the zip and then re-archive the contents and Magisk Manager would recognize that as a module. Weird, but doable.

I probably won't try again until next update, and hope the wipe just wasn't clearing something. I have the zip installed through twrp and working for now so I'm good till then.
just wondering if you're still having this issue with v9? I had modules installed fine under v6, but never really installed any modules under v8 to see if this problem occurred for me. now that I'm on v9, which has been wiped clean to start, I can no longer install any modules via Downloads or in the Modules section... any suggestions?
I have the same issue when trying to install viper with v9 on Nexus 6P DP2

Same here. Find a fix ?
From what I hear, ZIP/module management has been reworked in the upcoming magisk v10, so unless you want to go the route I went thru, you can just wait for that.

Just an FYI, I do still have this problem, but can install the zip through twrp. Maybe 10 will be the solution.
I had the same problem, I cleared magisk manager data and it works fine now
Didn't help

I've published snapshot builds of magisk v10 and magisk manager v2.6, try these together to see if they'd help.

I need a Help to download modules using magisk
Lastest version, Included phh root, manager is from G. play,
But Modules download function is not working
Say "No modules found" for download to install via magisk.
@dr.ketan
I was finally able to install your rom. However I have not been able to figure out how root works on this exactly as of yet.
I tried to install a normal Supersu from google play but it says I don't have Root on my Rom yet.
Can someone help me out with this please?

I thought Dr. Ketan's N10 ROM was pre-rooted with either Magisk or SuperSU. Did you not have this option in the AROMA Installer? If not, here is some help..
I personally recommend Magisk for root. It's just as easy to use Magisk over SuperSU. Each root solution has its own dedicated app as well. To root with Magisk you will need the latest root zip which is V14.0 along with the latest Magisk Manager apk.
You can download the latest Magisk Manager apk and the latest Magisk V14.0 root zip from the link below...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Here you can read and learn all about Magisk too. Once you download both the root zip and the apk, transfer both to your internal storage.
Next, download the no_verity_opt_encrypt_5.1 zip from here...and transfer it to your internal storage.

(Its the second link from the bottom in the list)
Easy steps to root your device with Magisk..
Boot to TWRP Recovery
Select Backup and put a check in each box. That way if anything goes wrong you can restore the backup and have a working device.
Next, select WIPE - Advanced WIPE - Check both caches
Swipe to wipe both caches
Next, select INSTALL
Navigate to where you saved the root zip and select the zip.
Swipe to flash the zip
Click on the box to wipe the caches
Now, just in case, flash the no_verity_opt_encrypt_5.1 zip that you downloaded earlier.
Reboot your device. Once booted up, install the Magisk Manager apk. It will install as a normal app. Make sure you have enabled "unknown sources" in Settings - Lock Screen and Security so you can install apps outside of the Play Store.
Open the Magisk Manager app and set it up to your preference. It's very easy to use.
If you run into any issues don't hesitate to ask questions.
Good luck and happy flashing!

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.

"...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...

I've flashed recently CSC file and lost the root. I updated MAgisk app up to 25.1 version (not a zip file just apk) but still no root. I have flashed Magisk 25.1.zip file in TWRP recovery. Now the phone is rooted, but I unable to start Magisk app. It just stuck on the start (The Mask). I tried to uninstall Magisk app via Application manager, and reinstall it following by reboot. Still Magisk unable to start. I don't remember whether MAgisk was unhidden before the update and zip installation. What should I do next?
Should I rename the Magisk.apk to uninstall.zip and run this file in TWRP. Then install Magisk apk and install zip file from within Magisk App? If so, what the best way to install MAgisk App; via TWRP or File Manager?
