[Help] Need help with Magisk - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, so i want to root my phone but i still want to pass SafetyNet. So i found the systemless Magisk root. But i am a bit cofused on how to get it.
I have a stock LG G3. No Custom Recovery, no root and locked bootloader.
So if i want Magisk could i root my phone with someting like Kingroot (It is the easiest way that i found) then get TWRP with the TWRP official app from the app store, then unroot the phone and flash the latest magisk with TWRP?
Will i still pass SafetyNet even though i rooted with Kingroot? Will i have to factory reset the phone in the process? (I don't want to lose my data)
Please help me. Thank you a lot.

G3 has twrp but not rooted??

Hi all, there are a few apps that I want to install on my phone but requires the phone to be rooted. I tried to root it but the phone itself tells me that it is rooted.
However, when I install apps that requires phone to be "rooted" indicates that the phone hasn't been rooted.
How do i re root this phone? it seems that its not working when I use stump or purple drake. Thanks guys.
If you have TWRP, then just flash SuperSu ZIP from here https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

Systemless root and systemless Xposed - Some questions

Hello,
at the moment I have a HTC 10 with normal root and xposed.
But I would like to have the option of installing OTA updates and I have some question:
- Is there any advantage between system and systemless root except OTA/Android Pay? Or is it still better to use system root?
- Can I still flash a custom kernel and other mods in TWRP?
- What do I need for systemless root and systemless xposed?
- Are there any disadvantages?
And it would be awesome if someone could give me a full guide how to do this.
I would start with flashing a RUU, but what should I do after that?
Thanks in advance!
I can't say anything about systemless Xposed, but I've been wondering about it. Main thing I want to know is if it will play nice with Android Pay. Right now, I'd rather have Android Pay than Xposed, but I'd like both.
As for systemless root, yes, you can still flash custom kernels thru TWRP. I'm running @flar2's Elemental X and have run them both successfully on LeeDroid and Venom. Some mods may have to have some special prep if they're not baked into a rom, such as AdAway, to work properly with systemless root.
The disadvantages to systemless root, to this point have been you can't run Xposed on it (not sure how it works now), and root is broken on some poorly coded apps, like ES File Explorer.
The easiest way to install systemless root now is just to install a rom. Put TWRP on and pick a rom. Both LeeDroid and Viper have options for systemless root. You're up and working out of the box with nothing special to do.

Have a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
That's the reason why I'm asking - OTA is working, but Android Pay not (for me it doesn't matter. I never used android pay).
But I want to stay on Stock ROM, no Custom ROMs. I just want the ability to download and install OTA updates.
Edit: Well, I see that I still need stock recovery for OTA updates. It doesn't make sense to install systemless root, because I have stock system-image backup and stock recovery.
Is there any advantage between system and systemless root except OTA/Android Pay? Or is it still better to use system root?

I am in the same position, just got the phone and want to install systemless root, systemless xposed and systemless Adaway... Mainly the reason I want this is because I dont want to s-off (you cant flash newer firmwares that come with updates) or I dont want to restore system and performing update after that... I just want stock rom with elementalx and those xposed goodies I want it so that when I get a notification about update, I dont need to backup anything, flash anything, just install update regularly like all normal people BUT still after update have root and xposed
I think its possible, but I have to do a little research before I get on with it.. Now first step is unlock bootloader

Even with systemless root you have to restore stock recovery to use OTA updates
Well, I have a look at this next weekend when I have some more time.
Or I just try a custom ROM... :laugh:

Yes but the amazing thing is that after you flash everything you want, you can immediately restore stock recovery and have stock recovery all the time after you have everything systemless
Then if you want to flash something you flash TWRP.. otherwise you just leave re-flashed stock recovery

Hello, I will receive my HTC 10 on Friday, and I all I want is to root and install Xposed Framework (A kernel would be nice too, but it's not a must) but I do want to receive OTA's and not having to flash the Rom each time that I want to update...
So if I root my phone Systemless, will I be able to Install Xposed (and a kernel) so when I receive an OTA, I just flash the stock kernel and install the update, then flash twrp again, without losing root or my data?
If so, how do I systemless root?
Thanks! :good:

[D855][20H/I] Systemless root, or root without triggering safetynet

Hi
I'm currently running a fully stock (used to be running 6.0, then 5.0, then rooted + twrp then fulmics.... before discovering that safetynet didn't like that) and was wondering if there is a way to get root without having safetynet detecting anything, on either 5.x or 6.x
I've seen suggestions to install TWRP and then flash a systemless supersu or magisk, but in order to install TWRP, I need to be rooted, plus I think (?) having TWRP installed would trigger safetynet, but don't quote me on that.
I've been thinking about whether it's possible to set up root methods like this or this install supersu systemlessly, but I don't understand enough to be able to do that by myself.
edit: bootloader is locked... I'm not sure you can unlock it?
Thanks for any help

Firmware Update

I root my MI 10T Pro with TWRP and Magisk. Now i see there is a Firmware-Update. Anywhere know how can i do the Update without lost root?
You can't. You have to uninstall magisk completely, perform update (if you have TWRP installed it might fail), and after that reinstall magisk and modules
OK. Thank you. The Bootloader is after the Update closed? And when its fail because TWRP what can i do?
No, bootloader stays unlocked, you just boot twrp after and reinstall magisk.
If it fails because of twrp you can do 2 things:
1. restore stock recovery and redo installation
2. download full rom from internet and apply through fastboot.
In any case you'd have to reinstall magisk after...
OK. Thank you. I understand right? When i go back to Stock the Bootloader is open but root is away? So i can root the other one Method without TWRP?

Yeah. Basically whole boot partition gets overwritten and magisk goes away with stock update, you only have to reinstall it...

Unable to root or remove old root

I have a OnePlus 7T, it was rooted but now i cant uninstall magisk or re root my device, i download (Magisk-uninstaller-20200323.zip) but the problem i cant flash it.
1- i lost root
2- i can't install it again
Its like its stuck in between, which mean rooted apps doesn't work again and baking apps doesn't work because it detects root by some how.
any suggestions how to either Reroot it or Completely remove it
Regards
Abdullah

Have you tried going through the root process like new with a downloaded clean image? Also might want to try a forced OOS update. This should wipe your root when you reboot.
