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, its been awhile since i been in the android scene. i just got my pixel xl. i was wondering some tips and tricks. what do you guys on rom wise or is stock fine. this is my secondary phone so ill be able to root and rom. regarding rooting does it trip anything and are you able to go back to stock with google knowing.
Since super su is not be updated anymore, the only way to root (as far as I know) is Magisk.
I just installed Magisk and it was very easy. You can unlock the bootloader or not. If you do, then install lastest twrp fastboot image, the in twrp flash twrp installer zip. Boot, go back to twrp, flash magisk.zip boot and check that Magisk manager app was installed. Check if your rooted. Then go into apps and clear cache & data from play store app and clear cache from the play store services app which is right above play store app.(sorry I can't recall the exact name of this app, but you'll see it) then check play store settings and you should be certified, pass saftey net, etc.
Good luck
I've had magisk on my XL with no issue for the last 2 months. I recently installed Viper4android to have more control over my audio settings and that's been working fine for about a week. I did just find the light patch so I'm about to install that. You should check it out https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/aroma-light-patch-t3681333

Stock rom or custom? I just updated to 8.1.0 and security patch of this month. What mods do you have?

Ok, I'm running stock room, there aren't a lot of rooms for the pixel XL. Stock works fine. I have no desire to run a custom room on this phone. I run pure Nexus on My Nexus 6.
You can go back with Magisk and they have these modules you can add to do certain things. I usually don't mess with that kind of stuff. Good luck and you should read about Magisk on the official site but topjohnwu.

Are you experiencing any major bugs on 8.1?
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?
I installed a custom rom "LineageOS 15.1-20190708-Unofficial-H815".
It works well.
But when I try to install an app from my bank for mobile payment it says: This is a rooted phone. Installation not possible.
Is there any way to unroot the phone with the LineageOS?
Or do I have to go back to stock rom to unroot?

The problem with such apps is mainly that nobody knows what exactly they check . For sure they check for root but e.g. my banking app also checks if the ROM is enforced and that it is not a custom ROM . In any case the error I get is "you're rooted" even when I am not. So that error is more a generic message that they don'tike your environment .
You have not many options and the following works for me at least:
1) Install magisk (so actually root your device).
2) In magisk menu hide select your banking app so it will be hidden.
That alone helped me a while ago to get my banking app running but.. The app gets an update and it failed again so:
3) In magisk settings choose -> hide magisk manager which will repackage the magisk app . That step is needed for me and likely will be needed for you.
4) now in android settings -> apps clear data of your banking app and try again
If that doesn't help your might be out of luck . There is an app named island which worked for me for while as it hides your whole system but it didn't worked long for me.. The above works since some months quite well so give it a try.

SCREENSHOTS
What doesn't work:
I haven't found anything so far that seems to be broken. Doesn't mean it's bug-free though.
How to install:
1. Factory Reset
2. Format Data
3. Flash rom <-- Download
4. Flash GAPPS
5. Flash Magisk [optional]
6. Reboot to system
Enjoy.
I tried to install the ROM to my SM-T560NU, it boots with no issues. It's very laggy to use, so I mess around with crDroid settings and I changed the scrolling cache setting (Settings->crDroid Settings->User Interface->Animations->Scrolling Cache) from Default enable to Default disable, it fixed the laggy issue.
I also tried to flash Vince2678's overclock kernel and it boots with no issues.
This is the Bomb. I have a Tab E TM-560NU. I failed miserably trying to install other roms. But yours went in 1st shot. Nice work!
Question is I'm thinking about putting Magisk, But do I really need it? Is that like SU? Probably a very dumb question.
This rom is for Android 7?

I've experience of flashing my tablet so I can flash my tablet without issues. Since it's too laggy to use, so I switched to LightningFastROM 17.1, for now.
If you had issues of flashing the ROM, I recommend to use this version of TWRP:

It's your choice whenever you want to use Magisk or not. If you want Busybox, ViPER4Android FX,etc... or other apps that requires root then you'll need to flash Magisk in order to use it.

One Questions Dev's and Fellow members Can this rom be flashed on SM T561 too ?
running on the sm-t560nu well. no lag issues, doesn't pass safety net though. not that big of deal, was just hoping magisk hide worked. Did you by chance add in the patch (or is this even applicable) found here: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/tree/master/patches/9/sys
