I recall that installing SuperSU on the HTC10 was originally a special case. Due to the encryption it used, originally flashing SuperSU onto the HTC10 would break the cellular radio, eventually SuperSU was updated to fix this.
I want to know if Magisk is in the same boat, or it could break your radio too like SuperSU used to, or if the way it works does not cause this issue on the HTC10.
And if so, can it be installed in place of SuperSU without having to wipe/reset your data?
I haven't used Magisk so I can't speak from experience.
However:
1) I know in the ICE Rom thread, that users have recently asked for an aroma option not to have SU installed (or PHH SU installed rather than SuperSU) so they can more easily get Magisk working.
2) Secondly, the original developer of Magisk has a HTC 10.
It's a pretty safe bet to say Magisk works if you follow the instructions...
Nearly all the instructions recommend wiping your data though, and that's not an option for me.
the Dev from Magisk has a HTC10 as main device ^^
so Magisk works flawless (except maybe sprint/verizon).
Super Su is not recommended anyway, as you can read on post Nr 2.
i've been using phh's SU for a while now and havent had a single issue.
AFAIK you dont have to wipe data but restore Stock System (Image) and kernel.
stock boot.img is important to wipe the Ramdisk.
I am already on the stock rom, all I originally did was unlock the bootloader then flash SuperSU, I never flashed a custom rom.
Works fine for me!
Works great for me on Leedroid.
1) Full unroot with SuperSU (don't restore anything)
2) Flash Magisk
3) Flash PHH root
4) Install Magisk Manager
5) Install PHH SuperUser
How is Magisk better than systemless SuperSU ?

Its not to say one is better than the either.....
To put it in VERY simple terms (There is much more to it)
Magisk is a utility for rooted related mounts and SElinux permissive status. It allows all mods to be truly systemless. It also allows rooted users to still have the ability to utilize Android Pay. You can read MUCH more at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382
To use Magisk effectively at this point, you need PHH SuperSU.
Magisk, systemless xposed, phh supersu are all under the same umbrella and are designed to be used together.
It works perfect for me on the HTC 10 with the multiple ROMS, including stock, that I have tested. I have used SUPERSU for as long as I remember, but in this case, the modified chainfire supersu did not work smoothly for me in the systemless magisk envionrment. Gotta give thanks to both topjohnwu, PHH and chainfire alike!
Does anyone know if you use magisk will that allow you to take ota updates from HTC or will the ota updates not work using magisk either ? Another question if anyone knows I have an Unlocked HTC 10 but may get the new Marlin due out being made by Htc so I am also wondering if magisk will work and you still get your updates from Google using magisk. I just thought maybe someone one here might know rather than try to go through tons of pages on that thread itself. I am hoping so as that would rock if you could still get your ota updates and have root too using magisk.
By the way, why did you say I might have problems if I am on Sprint?

they say it's recommended.
this is my experience ce seting up Magisk on a LG g4 (h811) running Resurrection Remix, and super su. I have an unlocked bootloader.
my main concern was maintaining viper4android (originally installed with arise (I don't remember the version))
I downloaded all the files for magisk plus the rom (resurrection remix official, just in case I needed to start clean)
I booted into twrp, made a complete backup (system would have been enough, but safety first)
I then rebooted into Android and backed up viper4android from /system/priv-app/. removed the following, super su binary, super su app, busybox/app, Viper driver then the app, and a few other root apps installed to system (I simply deleted the apk from /system/app and /system/priv-app)
now I rebooted back into Android, once booted I rebooted into recovery
and installed all Magisk requirements, and then Magisk viper4android mod.
and finally wiped cache and dalvik/art
now I shut down for about 30 minutes (phone got too hot) stupid snapdragon 808
booted back into Android, opened play and installed the Super user needed for Magisk.
now I open kernel adiutor and allow su access (need to turn off cpus 3-6)
Now I open play and install Google pay and safetynet playground.
now I open Magisk manager, and disable root.
Open play I add my cards fine.
I exit play, and open safetynet playground and check, it passes.
now I enable root again.
I install the Viper I backed up earlier as a user app, and try and use it. Nope it's trying to Install the driver. I cancel and remove it and install the official Viper.
it works fine (remember I already installed the Viper Magisk mod earlier)
Now I'm golden.
Now I never cleared my data, but I did clear dalvik/art and cache.
the only part of arise that I changed was the Viper version, I removed arise version of viper from /system/priv-app and installed the official Viper as a user app)
in all I'm just saying make a backup and try without wiping data.
I chose to wipe dalvik/art and cache because of the major change on the device.
This may or may not work for hboot lock devices. (I'm using a LG g4 (h811))
the release thread does say you need an unlocked bootloader
Hello everyone,
As I'm sure everyone knows, Niantic has blocked rooted phones from playing with the most current update 0.37. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find a ROM that will work on our phones and we can install magisk to be able to play with the latest update. If not, is there any other possible solution to play with the use of magisk or without giving up root completely. I'm currently running PaulPizz and have not tried any of the possible methods I have found from fear of losing root permanently. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas.
Thank you.
Try going to the Samsung Note 4 international section.. I just flashed a Note 7 port to my wife's phone and it rocks..
Could you possibly link to which one? Is it this one? Xerrum525 N7 FullFramework PortedRom for SM-N910C / SM-N910H
Also did you use magisk with it to use pokemon go?

I'd like to know too.
What I did was install PaulPizz. Once it finished I deleted the SuperSU folder via TWRP.
It booted up fine, I still had the SU app in my drawer, I did full unroot via SU. I then flashed the uninstall for Xposed and now I can play pogo.
I Haven't been able to get Magisk to work... I get unable to detect boot image. I'm unrooted for now on PaulPizz and can play PoGo 0.37

I downloaded an older version of the app from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/.
I uninstalled the new version. Reinstalled the older. Ran fine. I've heard they'll force an update sooner or later but its good for now.
I also made sure to turn off auto app updated in settings.
I did find a solution using PaulPizz and magisk. It relatively follows most other tutorials. Plus I found a way to toggle magisk with tasker, if anyone is interested. I'll post a step by step tomorrow or possibly later tonight. Sorry to make everyone wait.
So this is how I got it work with PaulPizz ROM for Verizon Note 4 retail converted to Dev edition.
I take no credit for the creation of the files required for this install, but I kind of muttled my way through this installation and got the files from different posts so credit is to go to the creators of these files, I am just redistributing. If someone feels the need to take credit for these please feel free to let me know.
Make sure to download all apks and zips before and place on sd card before hand to save time. I have also included the uninstaller for magisk version of xposed if you would like, do not use this one during the installation of magisk to remove xposed though.
Only flash xposed and install apk if you still want xposed, if not you can skip those files.
1. Do a full backup of phone using TWRP
2. Go into SuperSU settings and do full unroot
3. Reboot into recovery and mount system partion
4. Go to advanced in recovery and select File explorer
5. Navigate to system and delete .supersu file
6. Flash xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm.zip and reboot system
7. Install pokemon go 0.37 and make sure it works at this point
8. Reboot into recovery again and flash Magisk-v6.zip, 1473968610260_phh-superuser-17-magisk.zip, and 1473980489208_xposed-v86.5-arm-alt-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip
9. Clear dalvik and cache and reboot system
10. After apps optimize install Magisk manager and Xposed Installer
11. Reboot and enjoy playing the new update. Just use Magisk Manager to turn root on/off at will before or after playing.
I'm going to create the tasker profile tomorrow and post instruction on that once completed to automatically activate Magisk when opening pokemon go.
If there are any questions, I will do my best to answer.

When are you getting that, when you flash the zip or install the apk? I'm guessing that's when you flash the included Magisk_6.zip. You are rooted using the retail to dev on an N910V model? I would maybe backup your current system and restore from before you unrooted and try again possibly.

Thanks again, it looks like the only difference was that I was on CPF3.r-2.
I tried going back to CPD1 and still no luck.
I appreciate you letting me know.
I used the Kyubi rom and uninstalled root with supersu and installed all of the magisk stuff and it works like a charm. All of the xposed modules work good too with the system less xposed. It takes a while to boot up after flashing magisk and clearing cache but worth it. The buddy system is pretty cool lol
Anyone else only able to MAYBE play on WiFi?

Well I have magisk installed but I dont know if the xposed went through entirely it says it flashed ok but according to the installer I don't have xposed installed? What's going on did I do something wrong
Did you remove the old xposed app after the flag and install the new xposed apk also? I think mine did the same, because I forgot to also install the xposed app after flashing the systemless xposed framework.
I was able to full unroot, delete the super su file in twrp. when I flash the Xposed uninstaller it removes the framework but leaves the APk in a form that I can't delete.
If I flash magisk and all the other stuff it goes through fine, but when I try to toggle root off in magisk it turns itself back on within a few seconds. I'm assuming this is because i didn't get Xposed all the way off?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.
Magisk will refuse to unroot while xposed is still there in the system form. Even a piece of it.
Well now I got Xposed off using tibu before I unroot. Everything installed, systemless Xposed registered as being active, but when I try to toggle root in magisk I get the same thing with it turning itself back on. If I try to request root privileges from an app I am told i have no root.
Ideas?
I want to use the system less root so I can play Pokémon Go. Is there a way to remove root or do I have to be running a stock rom? I'm using the latest nightly of the regular Cyanogen Cm13.
Thanks
Isn't root enabled via settings? Maybe turn it off in the settings or reflash and don't enable root?
I tried that but the system is still seen as rooted

I can't get the supersu app to work. It wants to update and fails update. Updating through twrp creates a boot loop. Good idea though, thanks.

CM13 has it's own baked-in implementation of ClockWorkMod's SuperUser, not SuperSU. You can install SuperSU, but it will conflict. You'll first need to delete /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su, then you can "try" installing SuperSU, SUHide, etc..
1. install the latest version of TWRP for your device
2. boot into recovery and install SuperSU v2.78 SR1
-reboot system. open SuperSU and setup as normal
3. boot into recovery and install SUHide v0.54
-reboot system. open an app that require root to make sure your root is functioning
-try Pokemon Go. It should work fine
Do you need some sort of GPS spoof? You'll need Systemless XPosed and a good module
4. boot into recovery and install Xposed v86.2 - Universal Systemless (make sure you select 86.2 - you DO NOT need Magisk)
reboot system.
5. install Material Design Xposed Installer APK
-run XPosed Installer. it should show you are using 86.2 systemless
-click top left button and select download. search for a module called "Snorlax" and install the most recent version.
-this will hide your mock locations setting as well as show IV's, movesets, etc. of any Pokemon you encounter. it's all client side so no worries about bans!
-reboot system
-Test Pokemon Go. You should have no problems!
6. Need a GPS spoofing app? I use Fake GPS (well worth the $2.99). It allows you to pin favorite locations (I bounce quickly between spots where I can hit multiple lured PokeStops at once), and has settings to randomly move within a radius at whatever intervals and speed. They also have a GPS Joystick and Routes app that I have not yet tested since they don't offer a trial or free version. I'll update on that if they do offer a trial.
I have fresh installed CM13 on a Nexus 5, following the instructions above for systemless root + xposed. Pokemon Go v39.1 works without issue while spoofing GPS.
**UPDATE 10/7/2016 ** - edited to use updated suhide v0.54

Sorry took so long. This phone is slow as ballz! Everything appears to be working correctly though. I have Pokemon Go 39.1 installed (had to use apkmirror to install since it wouldn't let me from the Play Store on the S3), and am using Snorlax module to hide mock locations. I'm also using Fake Gps to spoof location.
I'd say it should work for you as well. What modules are you using? If you don't care about anything on your phone, wipe everything from recovery. Then under advanced, adb sideload CM13 and GApps Nano from opengapps.org (ARM/6.0/nano). Restart system and follow all the steps from there after you have the initial phone setup done.

Thanks for your help. I updated yo the newest nightly build, did a full factory reset and deleted the 2 su files. After rebooting i re-downloaded the newest version of Pokémon and installed it. Game is working fine.
I don't use root much so I'll see how it goes without root and if I need root i can put the su files back(I made copies and put them in Dropbox) or try superSU/hideSU.
I know the s3 is slow but I'm putting off an upgrade until i have to upgrade. Until i upgrade I won't really realize how slow my phone is

Going forward, I don't think the CM baked-in SuperUser is going to cut it. At least not the version in CM13. The specific versions of SuperSU + suhide I linked seem to pass all current checks though. So if you want root, go ahead and use them.

and also, yeah - until Shack70 and i get a new phone, we have no idea what "slow as ballz" is! i will say, the S3 may be relatively slow but i have two backup batteries that take up very little space and are very easy to swap in and out.

reflashed CM13 + GApps, used ADB to rename system/xbin/su & system/bin/su to /su-off, and SafetyNet is happy (and thus, so is PoGo). but now, of course, phone isn't rooted.
---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------
on the plus side, CM13 comes with File Manager which allowed me, without root, to install the v39.1 PoGo apk that I downloaded last week.
Sit back and wait for an SU update... It's only been a hot minute.
Hi Everyone,
I'm currently looking for a way to hide SU so that i can use my banking app, but with so many threads i'm reading, i can't find a reliable source and procedure. I'm currently studying how magisk work but some says that it doesn't work.
If i missed out a good and updated thread on hiding root, please do let me know.
You can use root switch
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/tw/thread-173542-1-1.html
Back when I was trying to get PokemeonGo to work, I tried a couple of different apps and hacks, and very few of them work, and even fewer of them work well. That was before I switched to Magisk, which I was skeptical about at first (I've been using SuperSu for years), but it really does work quite nicely.
I use Magisk, with no SuperSU. IIRC, Magisk is a systemless root, meaning it doesn't touch your /system, it flashes into your /boot. I flashed my ROM, Kernel, Magisk zip, and then downloaded the app from the play store. Inside the Magisk settings, there's a toggle for "Magisk Hide". Simply switch that on, and everything works! Your SafetyNet checks work, your banking apps work, your PokemonGo/MarioRun work, etc. Apps that already have root will continue to work, but any new apps will not be able to obtain root unless you unhide.

Just a quick question, did you just restore your boot image then flashed the magisk zip? then downloaded the app manager from play store?

I switched to Magisk at the same time I was switching ROMs, so I did a complete wipe and flash. You could do a dirty flash, but I would reflash your /system and /boot withOUT wiping cache or dalvik or anything. I don't know what (if) your previous root installed anything into /system, in which case it probably won't like it.
So what I would do If I were you is boot into recovery, re-flash your ROM/Gapps (no need to wipe cache), reflash your kernel (optional), flash the magisk zip, reboot, install magisk manager from Store, and you're good to go!

Thanks! i'll try it later, hopefully i dont brick my phone. LoL.
I use PureNexus with Magisk, AndroidPay, snapchat or pokemon go works but not my banking app(ANZ GoMoney Wallet), I have yet to find a solution, give magisk a try and see if it works for you. The producure is basiclly wipe system in twrp - flash purenexus - flash magisk zip - boot and install magiskmanager from play store

Did you manage to get this working?
I'm using latest Magisk, and I always fail/error when it's performing the encryption for the wallet functionality.

No, PureNexus will not bypass the root check in the banking app despite passing safetynet for some reason. However, since then I have switched back to official stock ROM with magisk installed and haven't had a problem so far.
I use a star Finanz banking app that fails with Magisk.
The solution I found is to uninstall Magisk manager when I need to use the push TAN app and then reinstall it(Magisk manager) from my internal storage when I'm done. Seems to work for me now.
Dumb question, but you guys are using Magisk Hide for the app bank's app right? Your device is showing up as certified in the play store settings correct?

Yeah, it used to not work at all. Now on latest Magisk it hides it successfully 50% of the time.
Found it easier to just uninstall the manager and reload it after. Since I only need the push TAN for online transfers.
Android pay works without a problem for me.
Hey everyone!
I will hopefully be receiving my OP5T within a week and I'm wondering what should my process be like when I get it.
I'm currently using OPX and will need to therefore customize the phone and transfer files / settings.
So I'm wondering.. How should I start setting up? I think I've read somewhere that I should unlock bootloader and install custom recovery ASAP so I won't delete files later. Should I update OS before rooting or not? (if the update is available) Or should I just install ROM and then update the ROM?
Now I'm an average user, but I still did root my OPX, because the support and development is better on custom roms IMO. So I think I'll root 5T also.. But still haven't decided to which ROM. (I really want best software app, working slider, good SOT time, etc)
So..:
- How should i start when I get my phone? I Think I've read somewhere that I shouldn't even log in my google account.. that I should just start opening bootloader and installing TWRP.
- What are your ROM recommendations for simple, working, effective ROM?
I went straight ahead with unlocking the bootloader and root. If you're going to do it, might as well do it first thing so you don't have to worry about setting up again.
It's been a great replacement for my Nexus 6. I'm sure you will enjoy the phone.
Congrats on getting a 5T. They're excellent phones.
There is some confusion in your questions about unlocking the bootloader and root. Do you actually need root? Having a custom firmware installed doesn't necessarily require root access.
To get everything moved over nicely, here is what I recommend:
Unlock the bootloader of the 5T and install the latest TWRP recovery and whichever custom firmware you prefer. This will get the factory data reset out of the way early on.
To get the apps and all their data moved over, I would recommend installing Magisk v16 for root access and use Titanium Backup to backup the apps on the OnePlus X, move those backups up to Google Drive or whatever cloud solution you prefer, and pull them down on the 5T and restore.
At this point you should decide whether or not you want to keep Magisk installed for root access or not. It's really your choice. Magisk hides root pretty well and will allow you to use Netflix, Google Pay, and play PoKeMoN Go without having to trip SafteyNet and root checks.
Easy theming with Substratum and continuing to do backups with Titanium Backup would require root to stay around, so I would recommend hanging onto it.
As for firmware choices, I highly recommend OmniROM simply because it's AOSP based and has great stability, battery life, feature set, development team, and weekly updates. I've been using it as my daily driver since late December and keep going back to it after trying the other firmware options available.
1- unlock bootloader
2- flash recovery codeworkx twrp recovery
3- choose one: If you want face unlock, update to oxygen OS 5.0.4 OR if you play pokemon Go, want to find a suitable wife, or want control over what apps start on boot update to Oxygen OS 4.7.6
4- flash magisk
5- go to downloads in magisk and install the magisk manager recovery module, you need this in case you get into a bootloop for a super easy way of undoing the bootloop in recovery.
6- disable and uninstall updates for the youtube app. Install termux app, install greenify, install joneplus tools.
7- Install the following magisk modules via the downloads section: viper4android FX, Youtube Vanced, BusyBox, App systemizer
8- if you are on Oxygen OS 4.7.6 install Xposed framework SDK 25 module for magisk OR if you are on oxygen OS 5.0.4 install Xposed framework SDK 26 module for magisk
9- download this magisk module to disable chinese government data collecting: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...s-disabler-t3686636/post74614087#post74614087
10- Download the following xposed modules: Amplify, Minminguard (do not use apply all, you will break the phone. Block ads on an app by app case. Do not block youtube), oneplus applock tweaker (only if you are on Oxygen OS 5.0.4), fake my GPS (only if you are on oxygen OS 4.7.6), BootManager (only if you are on Oxygen OS 4.7.6), Oxygen slider (found on google play instead of xposed repo), xprivacylua. Enable greenify in xposed
11- download xda labs
12- Go into magisk and enable systemless hosts. Then, from xda labs, install adaway and youtube downloader.
You're all set, have fun!
I unlocked BL and installed custom recovery even before signing into Google acct. This is a very acceptable replacement for the N6

That is what I was thinking, as I know from rooting my OPX that once you do it, you lose previous data.
In that case, I should do that with the OS version I get on default on my OP5T and not update first right?
I think I had Magisk before on my OPX, but never got it after a certain update.. I do remember it had a bunch of cool modifications available. I also have a titanium on my OPX, so that will be much easier.
How's the camera on OmniROM? Or should I still just install google camera apk?

If I undestand correctly, this basically leaves me on official OS, but with added functions from magisk?
If that is the case, why do you prefer it, over installing custom ROM and that adding those magisk modules on top?
