This was last updated on 07/02/2017
This guide will tell you how to install magisk (or magiskify as the app calls it) in order to make systemless mods possible for everything. The thing about magisk is as everything is systemless you can just uninstall magisk in the end and take an ota update without having to worry about what in your system had changed. For custom roms, though not as important, systemless mods are useful for stuff like passing safetynet.
For G4/G4 plus there is no support for Android Pay(at least where I live as there is no h/w for NFC) but various banking apps and apps like Pokemon Go.
First of all, if you want to pass safetynet you will need to use the MagiskSU method to root. This root is based on phh Superuser.
This means if you have anything like SuperSU or phh Superuser then you need to unroot first. Magisk will still work if its systemless but safetynet will not.
Also if you have Xposed installed and enabled, then it will not pass safetynet.
Requirements
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. TWRP installed
This is untested in stock NPJ25-93.11/12/14. If someone can test and report I can update this.
Please flash a custom kernel like elementalX if you are on stock rom
If you are stuck in a bootloop the you need to restore your current boot.img and everything will return back to as it was.
Steps
Take a TWRP backup of current rom. Just the boot image should be enough but everything will make it safer.
1. If you are using a custom rom, I recommend you start from a fresh flash. A dirty flash works as well.
A clean boot.img is recommended as debugging is more difficult without it.
A unrooted rom (Like official Lineage-OS) is best but if you are using a pre-rooted rom then you would need to use the UnSU script by osm0sis (tested on unofficial Lineage by Silesh.Nair)
Get UnSU script from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
2. Download the latest magisk zip and uninstaller from the Magisk release thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
3. After flashing your ROM (or your clean stock rom if you will), flash the magisk zip using TWRP. If your rom is unrooted, Magisk will provide a root solution. If you are rooted with systemless SuperSU, magisk integrates itself there but you will not pass safetynet.
4. Reboot and install magisk manager from play store. Enable Magisk Hide. You can pass safetynet now.
Magisk also supports systemless host files(for Adaway) and busybox support from the app itself. You can just enable and reboot.
If you are on MM, then you can install xposed through magisk itself(but no safetynet support in this case)
Also magisk already has ports of Viper4Android as well. Creating your own mod is simple as well. For further guide search in the Magisk forum. Excellent guides are published there.

mrinmaydhar for kernel info
None of this is my work. All I did was compile it so that it becomes easier for others.
If I missed anything please remind me. This is my first thread so everything might not be smoothest.
Shouldn't we flash a custom kernel like elementalx if we are on stock rom. I think current root methods have problems with the stock boot image.

So it's working fine after flashing ElementalX first? Because I remember it boot looped before but I am not sure which version it was. If you have tested please report back so that I can add that to the post.

Nope. SuperSU exists. Search the threads for stock boot image of your ROM. Flash it and then continue installation of Magisk.

I have a nandroid backup of my entire system before I installed supersu and Elemental Ex, would restoring just the boot suffice?

Yeah. But flash ElementalX though. Just skip SuperSU. If anything goes wrong just restore the boot partition.
If you want to just remove SuperSU, disable root access from within the app then perform full unroot. But it's usually better to flash stock boot.img as everything is cleaner in that case.
Edit: did you try flashing the unsu script first? Did that fail?

Yes I tried the unsu zip and it went thru without any errors but magisk still gave me that error
If I do a ROM update do I need to unSU and flash Magisk again?

As every ROM update flashes a clean boot.img it's necessary to flash magisk again. If your ROM comes prerooted you need to unsu otherwise not needed.
But you have to flash magisk Everytime after a ROM update. As long as you don't uninstall before updating, all your settings should be fine though.

No problems other than the same error about supersu being installed.
However last night I tried flashing a custom rom "resurrection remix" and magisk installed fine, downside was titanium backup didn't really like magisks root and it wouldn't restore my apps, it just froze.
Has titanium backup worked for you?

Just tried. Works for me. Normally I install the apps through play store and just restore data. Tried restoring firefox it works. Maybe it's a specific problem. Are you sure that restoring with SuperSU works without errors
Magisk is known to have problems with tibackup. A fix may be incoming(maybe an update to tibackup).

Yes titanium backup works fine with my SuperSU on stock, and on my tablet (Nexus 7 2013) I installed magisk and titanium works as intended.
So maybe something was just iffy with titanium backup last night, actually come to think of it I don't think Resurrection Remix comes with BusyBox.
I'll try again but install BusyBox first when I get more time.
Would using the wrong unSU version affect safetynet detection?

As long as the there are no SU links and executables left, using any unSU script should be fine.
If you are on a custom rom check /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su are there or not.
BTW which script did you use to unSU?

I used unSU like you linked, but it was an older version. Reflashing the rom, updated unSU and magisk fixed safetynet.

Ok thanks, sorry to bother you, but should I flash the ROM again via Aroma or I should just flash SuperSu?
Just flash SuperSU. That should do it
Flashed SuperSU and got stuck in a bootloop, did a clean flash again and it worked, thanks a lot!
And now this, f*ck, maybe it could be because I restored backed up data partition, will try to do a clean flash and let you know.
I had this issue yesterday and fixed it today.
try deleting the su binary in twrp.
goto: /data/system/xbin
delete su
flash your SuperSU.zip again.
worked for me, because i had an systemless supersu installed, but an old su file in xbin.
Can't install SuperSU on Huawei Watch 1 "Patching sepolicy ---Failure, aborting"
I apologize if this is a noob question. I'm no stranger to modding Android devices; only new to modding Wear devices, and unfortunately information about rooting this watch is so sparse (understandably) and I couldn't find anyone with the same issue when searching. So like the title says, I can't get SuperSU installed on my Hwatch running AW 2.0. When I try to install SuperSU via TWRP, it gets stuck when trying to patch sepolicy.
Do I need a custom kernel for this? Is there one with no modifications other than the sepolicy? Or is there a way to change the sepolicy on the stock kernel. Between the guides I've read and WinDroid Toolkit, nothing has mentioned needing to do anything else to allow flashing SuperSU, but I can't think of what else would be the cause of the issue and I suppose things could have changed since those guides and Windroid were written.
I kind of want to avoid custom kernels as they almost always have issues in my experience with running them on phones (no offense to any kernel devs out there) and I can't deal with that on something simple as a watch. I just want this rooted mostly so I can test out underclocking and powersave governor when needing some extra battery time and so the next time I flash or upgrade my phone, I don't have to wipe the watch.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. And if I must install a custom kernel, I would love recommendations on the most reliable and/or closest to stock one.
For me, WinDroid Toolkit doesn't work for rooting Android Wear 2.0. I am on AW2.0 with the stock kernel and I have rooted the device using Magisk v13.2. Magisk Manager works on Android Wear (even though it may be hard to use on a round screen), but SuperSU (app) crashes when I launch the app. All you have to do to install Magisk is to flash the latest Magisk installer in TWRP and sideload the latest Magisk Manager using adb. You can download Magisk here. I have tried SuperSU, but I would get an every time I try to flash the latest SuperSU zip.

It worked! I was unable to sideload Magisk Manager, though, but that's fine. I'm just stuck on v5.0.5 which works just fine for handling root requests.
That's great! The only real difference between Magisk Manager v5.0.6 and v5.0.5 is that v5.0.6 fixes a crash when downloading modules from the repo, so you shouldn't be that affected. If you want any modules, you can just download them from XDA or something and flash it in TWRP.

Just saying (sorry to bother), but Magisk v13.3 came out and fixed SafetyNet bypass. If you want, you can update by flashing Magisk-v13.3 by flashing it in TWRP without needing to uninstall the previous version. Installing this should also update Magisk Manager to v5.1.0.

No worries, haha. Yeah I already updated on my phone. Thought about updating the watch, but too lazy at the moment :silly: since I don't really need to pass SafetyNet on my watch for anything. Probably will do it later on.
I'm thinking that the reason that you couldn't install Magisk Manager v5.0.6 was that it was already installed by the Magisk-v13.2 zip and ADB wasn't able to install over the existing APK, but I'm still a noob so I have no idea.

Check the adb install switches in adb help to solve that. Use the -r or -d switch.
Code:
adb install [-lrtsd] <file>
- push this package file to the device and install it
(-l: forward lock application)
(-r: replace existing application)
(-t: allow test packages)
(-s: install application on sdcard)
(-d: allow version code downgrade)
I was trying to get help on Reddit but I wasn't able to get any help.

Hello,
Not sure if Magisk is even working on O but you would want to flash a kernel like ElementalX first or the modified stock. Flash the kernel, then Magisk but again I am not sure if it is actually working yet. If you do get it installed and working be sure to report back to all. Also if you had SU + SUhide prior then you will want to flash the Magisk remover first, then kernel then Magisk.
Cheers

Yup. Just verified it doesn't work. I booted into twrp, installed ElementalX, then Magisk 13.4 and rebooted, still doesn't work.
Then I booted into twrp, installed ElementalX and Magisk 13.3 and rebooted. Nothing.
I also installed TWRP RC2 and it works fine. If you want I can upload the bootable image for twrp and RC2 that I used. At least now I have a way of testing it out (well, to keep testing it out, when I'm at work).

I'm using a 6p with a pixel on the way. I had it working on the 6p with Oreo. I'm pretty sure I had to download an apk as well as flash the zip. Have you done this?
the pixel has a special magisk version because of boot a/b system stuff from my understanding. So it doesn't matter if it works on any other google phone.
It sucks too because i heavily rely on magisk due to how good it is on hiding...goodwin_c is my only hope. hanging on a thread here...
If you mention other root hiding methods just know that no...they all suck lol

It's fairly simple. You will need unsu zip (from SuperSu official thread) and the Magisk zip downloaded where you can easily find it.
Boot to recovery
** create a Backup **
Flash unsu
(Assuming no errors) Flash Magisk
Again assuming no errors, reboot system
In your list of apps you should have a new"Magisk Manager" app and your "SuperSu" should be gone.
Thats it really. Took me a whole of 10 minutes, of which 7 minutes were backup [emoji6]

Look for boot.img in the ROM zip and flash it.
I was just about to say that myself. See
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
Like the previous post said, you need a pristine boot.img and your ROM zip is the ideal place to find it.
Dirty flash your Beta27 again and it should be clean, THEN reboot and then install Magisk
Now i flashed beta 28, flashed recovery and flashed magisk again... While I was able to flash it... But getting safety net error....
My life is finished...
If you were able to install magisk then you should take this to the official magisk support thread. You are more like to get a better variety of suggestions there.
Just saying.
After using this phone for a while I decided to root it.
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and flashed Magisk, but all I get is bootloop or stuck on bootlogo (your device has been unlocked.....)

I did 3.2.3-0 TWRP method (by Junior Passos) on my XT1710-06 device with 8.0 on August 1 security patch (purposefully neglected updating any further cause method was tested exactly up to August patch according to Passos) and everything seems working pretty fine for a month now. Think I've installed no Magisk modules other than Xposed systemless yet and I've no interest in SafetyNet as well, so not deeply tested either. Don't know for sure, but I guess there's a good chance for such method to work on October patch too. Just be sure to perform every step as it is now in the 3.2.3-0 OP. One word of advice: after performing TWRP backup, look for it in /system/media and move it to both external and internal SDcards just in case something goes wrong (usually because of a missed step, I can say)... Also: I recommend to install Magisk v17.1 first time; then, if you want, update to v18 but right from the installer...

Strange, I have zero magisk problems when using the latest stock rom. Flash in twrp, done, no issues. However, it could be because I first back up boot and system and then restore them with twrp before rooting(this removes encryption).
Have these steps worked for me...
1.)Flash TWRP using Fastboot
2.)Go to TWRP/Settings and open Terminal.
3.)Run both of following commands:
echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk
echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk

4.)Flash Magisk-v17.1.zip
5.)Repeat step 2 and 3 dont wipe.
6.)Start
NOTE: before Reinstall stock or uninstall Magisk.

It's not what rom but, how you do it. When on stock ROM, it is encrypted so you must first back up system and boot and then immediately restore them, this remove encryption. Now flash magisk and it will work.

Regarding backup, this is done through the stock ROM correct (Settings --> System --> Backup to Google Drive).

It's not what rom but, how you do it. When on stock ROM, it is encrypted so you must first back up system and boot and then immediately restore them, this remove encryption. Now flash magisk and it will work.

This worked perfectly on my Moto Z2 XT1710-06 with Oreo 8.0 when no other options worked.
Flash or Boot into TWRP
Backup System and Boot partitions in TWRP
Restore System and Boot Partitions in TWRP (note I had to enable R/W access in TWRP to restore the system partition)
Flash Magisk-v19.3.zip
Reboot
That is it. Now Rooted and passes all SafteyNet test. No more restricted apps. Even Google Pay now works.
Thank You.
