First, I hope this thread is in the right place and apologize if it is not.
I currently have the problem that the Magisk Manager shows the two categories "Superuser" and "Modules" grayed out at the bottom. In addition, it is also so that the settings of the manager is slimmed down (fewer functions than usual). For this I have 2 screenshots ready: (see attachment and sorry for the German language).
Root itself is still there though (the apps that ask for root still do).
But can imagine that this happened because of the Magisk Hide app. Because I had hid the manager under a different app name, then either accidentally deleted it or restored the original package (can't remember).
In any case, I have already tried to install the manager with an SD card with the TWRP (did not work) and to install Magisk Manager via the apps themselves (pressed install in the first screenshot). This has come the following error message:
Code:
- Target image: /dev/block/
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing: 24.1 (24100)
! Unable to check signature
! Installation failed
My current status is that this has already happened once with the manager - judging by the bug reports on Github. Can someone please explain me in simple steps how to get this fixed? Thanks!

No need to bump, your post was only 7 posts down, and only one bump is permitted every 24 hours.
The issue is clear from your screenshots. You don't have root. On the Magisk screen, at the top under the Magisk section, if "Installed" shows "N/A", you do not have working root. Magisk is unable to load modules without root.

Sorry, didn't know that.
But I don't quite understand. Why should I have no root if apps like Lucky Patcher, Vanced Manager ask for root and I can verify these requests with the manager?

I'm not sure. I think you can still manage root permissions if you don't have root but I'm not 100% on that.
I suggest re-rooting with the prescribed method for your device. On the Pixels, we just re-patch and flash the boot image.
i hace the same problem in sm a70, the apps request root acces and i press yes and work but if the same app need request more times for example unloking network , the request are send again and again and again
I just took the leap into Android 12 and we t through the process of patching the boot img and flashing it. I have the same issue as the op. I have patched, repatched, and flashed and reflashed at least 4 or 5 times now. No change.
Edit to note that I do in fact have root, regardless of what Magisk says (installed - N/A). Apps like AdAway have root access and are working properly.
I had the same problem on my (very) old J7 (2015).
Am on android 7, and was trying to update Magisk from v24.3 to v25.1
I had to completely remove Magisk, and restarted from scratch.
Flashed the v25.1 apk in TWRP.
Same problem with Magisk 52.2 on my LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12L) installed on GT-N8000 (Samsung Note 10.1). I already tried re-root, re-flash, re-install apk and nothing!

I'm not sure about it, but I tried a few versions of Magisk and none worked. I installed both boot.img and magisk.apk via TWRP. The app downloaded and installed by Android always forces an upgrade.

That's because you haveca newer boot than the magisk manager.
Let it upgrade
Then tap the uninstall button

Not sure what to say about no uninstall but i guarantee that you have a double install. Look through your apps. Did you ever hide magisk with a different name, you've got to remember that at some time you did.

I removed the Magisk via TWRP by flashing it with the uninstall.zip file. After installing the Magisk via flash with the Magisk.zip file and rebooting the tablet, I patched my boot.img, went back to TWRP, flashed the boot.img selecting the boot option and rebooted. I went back to the Magisk app and the same problem. I checked via
Code:
adb shell pm list packages | grep magisk
and it returns only
Code:
package:com.topjohnwu.magisk
it suggests I have only 1 app installed (none hidden).
Then I'm out of ideas sorry

Magisk (MagiskSU) - Busybox won't install, says "Systemless root is not configured".
I've installed/flashed the latest stable Magisk version: v13.2. (Since version v13.1 I believe the bundled busybox included with Magisk was removed because it caused a lot of issues)
I've tried to install BusyBox to "/su/xbin" but it always throws up the error "Systemless root is not configured".

If you want to use it as a Magisk module, maybe you should install it from the Magisk Manager instead of flashing from TWRP.
Besides, I didn't catch your meaning. You mean the busybox app notice? Now that busybox is installed, you don't have to mind that notice.
Why are you guys trying to install to /su? Unless you're still on Magisk v12, you shouldn't be using SuperSU...

What method would that be? No, I'm not gonna go hunting for some random Youtuber...
If the aim is to get a functioning busybox up and running, the easiest way is to just install @osm0sis busybox module from the downloads section in the Manager. No other apps needed...
He installed busybox in system/xbin
He made a folder called "Viper4Android" in the "system/priv-app" folder and copied a Viper4Android APK in there
He set the permissions of said APK to -rw-r--r-- (I set to -rwxrwxrwx for good measure)
He went to "system/vendor/etc" ("system/etc" if it's not there) folder, made a copy of the "audio_effects.conf" file
He renamed the "audio_effects.conf" file in the etc folder to "audio_effects.conf.bak"
He pasted the original "audio_effects.conf" file back in the "etc" folder, so now he has a "audio_effects.conf" and a "audio_effects.conf.bak" file in the "etc" folder
He changed the permissions of the "audio_effects.conf" file to "-rw-r--r--"
He rebooted, opened V4A, installed drivers, then rebooted
Hope this helped.

That busybox module works perfectly for me.
And I'm using Magisk partly because it makes system modifications like V4A systemless. Therefore I would not follow those instructions...
I do have V4A working though, with this Magisk module and by utilising this workaround until the module has been updated. Nice and systemless...
The above mentioned workaround hasn't worked for everyone, but several other ways of getting it to work have been discussed in that thread.

You'll need to provide some details for that... After flashing the module in TWRP, can you save the recovery log (Advanced - Copy log) and attach it to a post here.
And I forgot to say, but for the V4A module I linked, I don't even need busybox installed. YMMV...

Yesterday i used magisk on android 7.1.2 , now updated to 8.1.0 and i get same error.

Ah... Then I understand. That has nothing to do with the Managers ability to install modules only with it's built-in update feature. And there's no need to manually enable it. If an app needs that permission, you'll get a message that it needs to be activated.

I find it interesting that installing modules wouldn't work unless you enable that option... Could you record a logcat when install a module with the setting off and then when it's on?

sorry it was like nightmare so i just dont want to risk it and break anything again. but i remember that everytime i tried to install any mod, magisk fails and says "Unable to extract zip", it is kinda phone doesnt let it to use storage and make installation, but after gave the permission everything solved.
Edit. Ss attached from my setting
I have my Samsung A30 (SM-A305F) rooted with magisk canery (87de0e7a) by flashing patched boot img via odin. Now, If i try to hide magisk with random package , it demands internet connection and install the latest version (9348c5ba). BUT i don't want to upgrade as the updated version has weird bug of rejecting SU automatically (with a very brief pop-up). I then need to ---> uninstall the repackaged app ---> Reboot ---> install 87de0e7a version ---> then it become functional again. I don't have TWRP installed. Re-flashing new patched boot requires wiping data. i don't want to do factory reset
Now I want to hide magisk as PUBG MOBILE might be crashing due to root detection. Please help me achieve solution:
(1) hide magisk manager without updating
(2) update magisk manager without that BUG of rejecting SU automatically
1 - Hide the Manager and let it update fully, no way around that. Then replace /data/user_de/0/com.H3.nuhw6UY.GoCgl/dyn/current.apk with the apk of whatever Manager version it is you want to use (and don't forget to set the same permissions and owner).
Edit: replace the package name above with the one your Manager uses.
2 - Seems to be a similar issue reported here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2944
If there's anything to be done about it, it will be eventually.
If you can get some proper logs showing the su rejection and add to the above linked issue that would be great.
Note: i previously managed to hide it successfully when there was no newer version. It would just download the same version from the internet and repackage itself with random package name. But some days ago, i restored original manager and now i can't get it to hide.

Thanks for replying. I followed our steps (com.mkhirsnpiw.z.kkt was used instead of com.H3.nuhw6UY.GoCgl). But it again says the same thing, "Upgrade to full magisk to finish the setup. Download and install?". Clicking ok upgrades it again

Did you place the new current.apk file in the same directory and give it the proper permissions (same owner and permission 600)? I just tested and had no issues downgrading the hidden Manager to 285 this way.

yes with MiXplorer.
When Manager updated itself , i tried to update the magisk ( not the manager). But it bricked my phone as it won't start. i had to flash stock firmware via odin. It happened what i feared about. Now, i will try to patch boot img with new version.
UPDATE: I patched and flashed boot img using canary 290. after rebooting , this time there was not that Bug of rejecting SU automatically. Root was functional. But when it asked to do additional setups, it was stuck on setup operation forever and when i tried to hide manager, it showed "hiding magisk manager failed". so i uninstalled canary 290 and installed 7.5.1 (267) . This time additional setup was completed and rebooted automatically. But there was some problem with su access. so i uninstalled 7.5.1 (267) and installed canary 290. Root is now functional and it does not ask for additional setup anymore. (meaning setup was complete?). But still shows "hiding magisk manager failed" when try to hide manager. I don't know what is the problem . I was using canary 284 without any problem. PUBG mobile was runnig without problem. Now I am tired......

OK so If I got it correctly, i should do these steps:

reboot
and then "Patch the boot (Kernel) image via Magisk" as described in Stage 6 of the link?
any precautions and measures that i should take in order to avoid or minimize failure?

No matter how you choose to update, there's always a risk of failure. Only way to minimise any damages is to make sure you have a backup of any important data before updating.
You should be able to do a direct update in the Magisk app (but since you're jumping a few versions it's a very good idea to have that backup ready). Only thing to mind is that the update to v22+ requires you to not have the Magisk app repackaged with a random name, so make sure you've restored that before updating. This should be the easiest way of doing things...
If you're on the Canary channel (since you have a Canary release installed now), keep in mind that the current Canary (23014) has some major changes from previous Magisk versions. The Hide list has been replaced with a Deny list and there's now a new feature: Zygisk (it's very similar to Riru, if you know that that is). If you're not ready for those kind of changes yet, make sure to be on the stable update channel...
If you don't want to do a direct update the linked guide should work.

No matter how you choose to update, there's always a risk of failure. Only way to minimise any damages is to make sure you have a backup of any important data before updating.
You should be able to do a direct update in the Magisk app (but since you're jumping a few versions it's a very good idea to have that backup ready). Only thing to mind is that the update to v22+ requires you to not have the Magisk app repackaged with a random name, so make sure you've restored that before updating. This should be the easiest way of doing things...
If you're on the Canary channel (since you have a Canary release installed now), keep in mind that the current Canary (23014) has some major changes from previous Magisk versions.

Ohhhh I see!
There are major changes listed on the changelog...
I found the "magisk_patched.tar" that I have used on my initial installation, do you believe that if i could flash it will solve this problem?
It's clear that I don't want the latest, i want the one working with minimal risk because I found out that i haven't installed TWRP at all

If that patched file is from an earlier release of Magisk, and you want to use that version, it's probably best to uninstall Magisk and flash that.
If you want a newer release you can either just choose the stable update channel and do a direct update to v22.1 (you'll be able to update to v23 after that), or you can download the v21.4 zip from GitHub and install that zip from the module section of the Magisk app.
You've got many options. Only you can decide what's best for you...

thank you for your help so far!
When i select uninstall i get two options "restore images" and "complete uninstall" what should i choose in order to keep my data?
If i go with the direct update to v22.1, then will i have to flash something? this is "safer"?

No worries.
To avoid incompatibilities between different Magisk versions you'd have to do a complete uninstall. If you do the direct update you don't have to do anything else then pick "Update" in the Magisk app and then "Direct install".
To say if one or the other is safer is hard to say since there quite a few variables that come into play. Doing an uninstall might cause issues if you've previously disabled encryption, as an example. On the other hand there might also be issues when doing a direct install.
Personally I would go for a direct install, but make sure that I have my firmware's/ROM's unpatched boot image at hand so I can install that and get my device up and running again without any further damage (hopefully). Magisk only alerts the boot image (or in some cases recovery image), which makes it very safe and easy to revert if there are problems. You rarely end up with an irreparable loss unless you start trying to fix stuff without actually knowing what you're doing.

I made it!
I finally went with direct install as it appears to be less disruptive, first it updated the app, then I selected "direct install (recommended)". Afterwards it started to patch ramdisk, repacked and flashed the image. One reboot later and the root status is back! I really missed my adblock!!!
thank you for your help!
Hi
I have magisk installed but my phone is reporting not rooted.
My setup:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Ressurection remix
Magisk 23.0
Things I've tried:
Disabled battery optimisation for magisk app
Reinstalled magisk a couple of times from twrp
Other root requiring apps (no change)
I've attached the logs from Root Checker, magisk and snip of my magisk. Please let me know if there is more info I can provide.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
re-flashing latest stable magisk.zip with the custom recovery then reboot to system and open the magisk wait to downloading requested resources and see..
Hi
Thanks for your reply.
I just downloaded this and flashed it with twrp: https://magisk.me/
Rebooted and found the same issue. Any other ideas?
Cheers

1 - Don't use that website. The only place for verified and safe Magisk downloads is on John's Github:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
2 - Exactly what is it that's reporting that your device isn't rooted? Because Magisk quite clearly says it is, according to your screenshot...

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Okay so I went to Git and downloaded this file https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk I then renamed it to .zip and flashed it via TWRP. Is this correct?
When I reboot I find the same situation. Magisk appears installed correctly however no app can access root. No popup appears to accept/reject the su request and apps behave as if no root access. I've tried Root Checker, Titanium Backup and am happy to try any others.
Do you have any suggestions please on what else I can try?
Cheers

Ah... So the problem is not that you do not have root access The problem is that there's no superuser prompt when an app requests root.
IIRC there's a Xiaomi settings to allow apps to display popup messages (should be under app permissions). The Magisk app also need to be allowed to auto start. Of course, this is for MIUI and you're using RR so I have no idea if there is such a setting on your device currently...
Could of course be something completely different though.

Yes I suspect this is the issue - the notification is being blocked somehow.
Under app settings -> Magisk, I believe the settings are right:
Battery optimisation = off
Notifications = all allowed
There are plenty of guides out there of using RR with Magisk and no mention of any special settings to make it work.
I am also using nova launcher, I wonder if this could affect the notification somehow?
All suggestions welcome!
Cheers

I noticed in Magisk under the Superuser tab, it just says "no app has asked for superuser permission yet." So perhaps not a notification issue after all?
I downloaded another app, "root checker basic". It also generated no popup, said I do not have root, and nothing appeared in the Magisk logs.
I feel like I am doing something wrong here but missing what it is.

One thought: make sure that nothing is restricting the Magisk app from autostarting and running in the background.
Also, have you checked with other users of your ROM? Might be a good place to get help for stuff like this...
This happened to me before. I had to rename the same zip to "uninstall.zip" and flash it, reboot, and then rename the zip to something else like Magisk.zip and flash again.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this but no change afterwards unfortunately.
Also good idea @Didgeridoohan, I will cross post this on the forum for RR.
extract the boot.img and copy to phone. in Magisk, install and pick boot.img. copy the result file to pc, and flash using fastboot flash boot magi....img
if unlocked bootloader, flash direct and reboot.
