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
Hey everyone.
I can't install the Xposed framework. The error messages are in the the screenshots you'll see attached.

I am currently using an OnePlus 3 with oxygenOS 3.26 flashed via twrp.
Before I was using 3.24 where everything was working fine. Then I switched to sultanxda's CyanogenMod. Since the Home Button was not working correctly, I decided to go back to the just released Oxygen. Everytime I was clean installing it.
From there on I am unable to use Xposed. I flashed it many times, used different twrp versions and also the arm64 v85 instead of v86. Nothing really wants to work.
I thought, i am may not able to flash anything because the System is set to Read-Only, but flashing SuperUser.zip has worked without any problems.
I'll appreciate your help.
Can you confirm that Supersu is working? And did you flash a systemless or 'normal' version of Supersu?

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!

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

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.
Hello fellow XDA members and flashaholic people! This is a guide about flashing sGSI or GSI (semi-GSI) Android Pie images on VINCE.
This guide is for VINCE only! Please don't try it on WHYRED it may work or it may not.
First you need to treble enabled custom recovery. I suggest OrangeFox V8.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
You can either flash it via TWRP or extract zip and flash recovery img by fastboot method.
Second you need treble enabled custom Oreo ROM, I suggest Cardinal-AOSP as it's vendor.img works flawlessly. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/rom-cardinalaosp-t3774232
And third step includes the GSI image. You can find several GSI's here; https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
After downloading .zip file from any ROM you wanted extract it to get its system image and move it into the either internal storage or SD card. [SYSTEM IMAGE ONLY NEEDED]
I tried Pixel Experience 9.20 and Havoc OS 9.18 builds both booted without issues.
Please note that you need GApps package for ROM's (Except PixelExperience) you can find them here; https://opengapps.org/ Suggested package is Nano one. But if you want more you can go for bigger packages. I always use Mini version of it.
Steps to get Pie working on our device:
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DO NOT DEVELOPING ABOVE GSI IMAGES OR HELPING TO DEVELOP. IF YOU HAVE ANY BUGS TO REPORT PLEASE REPORT IN PROPER FORUM POST. I CAN HELP ABOUT INSTALLATION ONLY.
Ah, and there is few screenshots i'll share (Pixel Experience 9.0):

Since i did not have any problems about lag or freeze dont need to flash it. Though im not sure about VoLTE but it seems broken for me too. I still wait for official or unofficial Pie ports (which even redmi 2 and 3 got)

Any other bug or issue that you've found in the ROM? Camera problems? Bluetooth or Wifi's MAC changing or reverting to 00:00:00...? Battery drains, memory leaks, crashes? GPS problems? anything?

In few hours of usage i did not encountered very-serious level bugs. Battery was fine and didn't seemed like to draining. Bluetooth and WiFi had no issues for me either. Only VoLTE doesnt works and as may you know thats global issue on it. Did not faced any mem-leaks or running out of memory problems, with freshest install it used up to 1.3 GB mem and with some apps like social ones it went up to 1.6 to 1.9 GB but ROM was overall butter smooth without single lag or freeze. No FCs either, GPS works i guess it was enabled by default on fresh install as usual but since im not using the GPS that much i did not tested it fully though.
As you can guess those are still experimental/beta builds could have issues that i did not encounter. But overall was very fine for me. I'd keep it but it kinda messed "about phone" settings as it goes manufacturer and model both goes by unknown or phh-treble. It's very natural since i installed as GSI image but still bothered me.
Almost forgot; In Havoc OS settings goes direct crash if you touch battery in settings. PE works fine but it has problems with Dark theme beign not applied correctly. Also i did not used or tried substratum or its themes.
Thank you for your instructions. I wanted to install a GSI 9.0 ROM since Pie came out, but other threads with instructions were too complex or convoluted that I thought it was harder.
I would like to make some clarifications on your steps:
* I used the unofficial PixelExperience 9.0 GSI image, as you said. It feels and behaves almost exactly as the official PixelExperience build for our device, but with nicer interface. The image is HERE. Just as a sidenote, the System image comes with DPI = 360, things look a bit too big. To make it look like MIUI or the official PixelExperience build for vince, a dpi of 390 should be set (this can be done from settings > System > Developer Settings > Minimal Width, under the "draw" section).
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
* At this step, I had to make "Format Data", and only then reboot to recovery again, and make the wipes to all other partitions. Without rebooting the wipes weren't possible (it was showing errors while trying to mount partitions). VENDOR PARTITION SHOULD NOT BE WIPED
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
At this point, you must check that the hardware works correctly. Touch, screen, audio, BT, wifi, RIL, LTE or whatever you use. If something doesn't work at this point, it won't work after installing the GSI image.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
* In OrangeFox, at this point before flashing the GSI's .img file, the recovery asks for the type of image. For noobs and careful people, "System Image" must be selected before proceeding.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
* When installing Magisk through recovery, the framework will be installed, but the APK won't appear in the app list. It must be downloaded separately from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.0/MagiskManager-v6.0.0.apk
The following modules are working without issues in my setup:
* Youtube Vanced
* Google Product Sans font
* MagiskHide Props Config
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
Cast and mirror screen are broken. After choosing a screen to share the phone's screen to, SystemUI will crash. Apps with cast capabilites won't detect Chromecast devices (the cast button won't appear).
Thank you for your help

I don't know what is "MagiskHide Props Config" but is MagiskHide working normally for you?
I'm currently using the Pie "V4 zip" from this thread but MagiskHide isn't working. If it is working normally for you I will try to flash in your way then.
And can I flash 9.0 GSI image over any 8.x roms? Or it must be PE or Havoc?

sadly i can't flash pie rom because my phone is encrypted. i will try this someday, once i backup my files and do the full format (including internal storage)
i want to try PE pie
Biggest thanks to you as i was in dilemma to try the PE 9.0.
However, the stock camera is so dark so i installed Camera2API, resulting the camera app FC, installed the crashfix Gcam apk i found somewhere in this thread not so long ago to no avail, the camera is still broken. Anyone having the issue ?
TIPS: I tried both Dark Ages and Genom Kernel, the brightness is crazy, i think its the late display driver provided within it: the brightness level is scaled incorrectly, with the 50% on MIUI is 0% in PE, and 50% in PE is equal to 100% of MIUI (the max brightness is at 50% and sliding all over to the right does nothing); clean flashed the whole thing and not using custom-installed kernel at all.

MagiskHide Props Config" its a module that replaces the ROM's fingerprint with a certified one. This way you get ctsProfile: true and basicIntegrity: true, thus passing SafetyNet. This combined with MagiskHide allows me to use some apps that rely on SafetyNet.
After flashing the Treble-enabling ROM (Cardinal OS) you can install GSI system images based on Oreo or Pie.

Can I use the Oxygen Updater to go from OOS. 10.0.9 to 10.0.11? I'm rooted and have Magisk installed. When I went to the Updater it said it used TWRP, which I know still has issues on the 7T. Can I load TWRP 3.3.1-25 and use that? My goal is to move to the new release with out losing all my current installed applications (many!). Or do I have to do this all manually (a link would be nice is there already is a routine). Thanks.

There is no working TWRP for the 7T yet. Just something in development. You'll have to do everything manually. Magisk has a guide on how to install an update and keep root. I haven't followed the guide yet myself but it is the method I will be using later tonight.
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html
Just make sure to disable/uninstall any magisk modules before you start. And probably any substratum overlays too just to be safe.

I'm not an expert on this but as far as I know, it should have made the backup img file during the rooting process before patching the boot.img. If you don't have one then I don't know what happened to it. That step may not be 100% necessary though. I've read people saying you don't have to do that. I think it's mainly so you keep that stock img file backed up. Again, I don't know exactly but that's my understanding of it. I'm just giving you my thoughts on it

I got this message -- Stock backup does not exist-- but proceed with the upgrade as per the instructions. Everything worked fine. Just waiting for the day when 7T TWRP will be available so I can use Oxygen Updater once again. Thanks for you comments.

I also got this message when trying to uninstall magisk, so my question :
You proceeded with the upgrade - Was this from actual OS upgrade option in settings or from oxygen updater application?
If so, Im wondering if all you did was download the 10.0.11 full update & went to settings and applied it without doing anything in magisk.
Eg: you did not uninstall your modules and obviously did not uninstall magisk as it failed to do so cause there was no stock image.
At that point what did you do? You went to Re-install magisk (from where in magisk manager is the option?) and then selected "Install to inactive slot"
After that, you rebooted from magisk option to reboot and it took abit but rebooted all perfect?
Thanks

I downloaded the new OTA version (I think from the Updater app - if I remember it allowed you to download the OTA) to the root of my phone and then just followed the directions from the first reply to my post. I had the latest version of Magisk (Uninstaller, the app, and the Manager) installed in it's own folder in internal memory. After I got the message, just proceeded as if nothing was wrong and in the end, the upgrade worked fine. I didn't document every step, but the instructions worked.

Did you uninstall all your modules first? Or leave them alone. I heard a few people didn't uninstall or deactivate there modules. I'm using xxx nolimits and don't want to have to redo everything, but I will if I have to.
Update :
A) I Downloaded 10.0.11 update from oxygen update app (zip on root)
Note - The only module I uninstalled was XXXNolimits and suggest you uninstall anything like this or any theming.
(I did leave busybox, systemless hosts, energized protection & a volume mod installed)
B) I manually updated from settings (Did NOT reboot)
C) I went to Magisk manager and installed Magisk in empty a/b slot as per instructions in link
D) I rebooted from Magisk
E) everything rebooted fine
F) I re-installed XXXNolimits - Rebooted
G) When rebooted, everything was exactly as it was before update and working fine!
So far so good. Phone was hot for awhile but cooled down after 10min and all is good.
Thanks everyone for your helpful posts
Does it pass SafetyNet check?
