Hello ^^
I am hoping that some of you guys can help me out of a little issue that i am having, i will try and explain what has happened up until now as best i can:
As many people know, the latest update to Pokemon GO, knocks out rooted users. I did not know this and updated last night, however, dispite running a custom ROM (PureNexus) and being rooted, my game loaded up like normal and let me play. It wasn't until i checked that my SuperSU that i found that root wasn't actually working at that time, so i re-flashed the latest Super SU and all was good, but, obviously, this knocked out Pokemon GO.
I read up on the trick of using Magisk to be able to turn off root and when was needed as to get the game to work, so i went about trying to get it working. I unrooted via Super SU and then rebooted and flashed the Magisk installer and PHH Superuser (as i heard this was best for compatability). After the phone rebooted i, installed the Magisk launcher and the PHH SU program from the Play Store, but when i opened any app that reuqited root, it was still telling me i wasn't rooted anymore, and thus, when i opened PGO, it worked.
I am kinda lost from here, i want to get my phone rooted again, and i want to get Magisk working so i can still enjoy PGO and some of my occasionally used apps that require root, so my questions are as follows:
1. Can you re-flash an SU over an old one to get root back, or do i need to fully un-root and root again?
2. If i was to re-flash SuperSU (with Magisk support), would this get me rooted again and allow me to flash Magisk as normal?
I am a little lost here, any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance.

i have, it doesnt work as PGO uses safetynet, like Andriod Pay
Ohh snap, well that's all I had...I don't play PoGo

For magisk to work, you have to use it to root and unroot. From what I understand, it temporarily removes root system wide when you do this. Basically it's a more convenient way to root and unroot.
Android Police has an article on it right now. The instructions for installation and usage are correct.
The problem is probably related to a failure to make sure all traces of previous SuperSU installations are gone.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/11/guide-play-pokemon-go-0-37-rooted-android-magisk
For magisk to work it's best to fully unroot, maybe try unsu.zip,
Then have a 100% stock system and boot (kernel)
And before flashing magisk and phh, try the SafetyNet checker app in the playstore. (PoGO uses SafetyNet to check for root, same as Android Pay)
If you pass then go ahead and flash magisk, phh, and then phh app followed by magisk manager
In the magisk thread are all the instructions to follow

I have installed Magisk on my XT1575, for those who dont know, its a method in which Xposed can be installed systemless, with the benefit of taking OTA's. And as a bonus, things like android pay work (with a on-the-fly toggle) to turn off root check, snapchat works, etc.
Pre-requisites (MARSHMALLOW)
1. Stock rom (this is mandated by the developer @topjohnwu ) preferably stock kernel, but i am using frankenclark
1A. TWRP (Download Link Here) https://dl.twrp.me/clark/twrp-3.0.2-0-clark.img.html
2. Magisk manager zip (Download Link Here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19632&task=get
3. Custom superuser PHH-Superuser (Download link here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19633&task=get
4. Custom Xposed (Download Link Here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3832615&d=1470276932
5. Custom Superuser app from the playstore (Download Link Here) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser
6. Custom Xposed Installer (Download Link Here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19668&task=get
Steps:
1. Start with clean stock marshmallow 18-4 (i used the firmware flash and did it that way)
2. Install TWRP (1A)
3. Boot into TWRP recovery (do not select system writable. leave it stock, this ensures the chances of OTA support, unless you dont care, then set it writable)
4. Flash frankenkernel, if you want, if not continue on
5. Flash MAGISK (2)
6. FLASH custom superuser (3)
7. Flash Xposed framework (4)
8. reboot into marshamallow
9. Before opening MAGISK, install the custom superuser app from the playstore (5)
10. Install the custom XPOSED installer (6)
11. You should now see that xposed 86.3 is active
12. Profit, make sure to check MAGISK and see if the toggle between rooted and unrooted works, but it should.

Links #3 and #4 are dead.
Do I need PHH-Superuser or can I use SuperSU? It looks like I only need PHH-Superuser if I want to use android Pay.

What are you running for a stock, rooted systemless supersu ROM that passes safety net?

whelp, the whole reason i had a xpure was because my 10 was getting uh oh'd for a broken display, and that took 2 weeks. When i wrote the post, magisk and phh was rollin in the regards that android pay (safetynet) had been beat, so i wrote a writeup on how to do it. Now safetynet has been upgraded to the point where magisk is beat, afaik.
Magisk screwed with my banking app, and i didnt use it for anything else, so i stuck with systemless supersu & xposed instead, no magisk on my 10.
Honestly, im not sure why people want android pay, all the places i used it, charged me extra for using, like a 1.50 pepsi cost 2.10 out of our vending machines at work.
Couldn't agree more. For the systemless root - all you did was install SuperSU from play store and run that command in twrp?

No, Magisk is only designed for stock, unrooted roms. It doesn't get around SafetyNet anymore anyway, Android Pay, Pokémon Go, and most financial apps won't work anyway.

Nandroid and try a full unroot and reboot... It might work since it's largely stock, but it doesn't work in most custom roms
I know this is all over the place, but I thought I would bring it here just in case anyone hadn't found the answer. I have seen a few posts about this on Reddit and some other forums. This will obviously hinge on having the unlocked bootloader. You will also need a file explorer that lets you view root folders just in case you want to make sure the binaries have been delete.
What worked for CM13:
Install SuperSU and use it's unroot method which should delete all SU binaries in /system/bin and /system/xbin.
Install phh SU and Magisk manager.
Reboot to recovery
Install the Magisk v6 and PHH SU files.
Reboot system after clearing cache
Access Magisk Manager and toggle root, it should prompt PHH SU to ask about permissions.
I have read that this same method works for PaulPizz and Jasmine Rom as well. PaulPizz has Xposed preinstalled, so you have to run the Xposed uninstaller and remove the Xposed app. Follow instructions from the Xposed for Magisk thread to reinstall xposed if you require it.
If you want this with the Stock Verizon image, there is a link in the Stock Image thread on page 41 with the bootloader removed for safe upgrade. I will update the post with links to the appropriate threads later today.
Credit to all the devs involved with the Note 4 and Android in general.
The method you've described worked for me on 0.35 PoGo. Then 0.37 update I already had to rollback.
I'm using HTC One M8, rooted, pph and Magisk on stock Rom, systemless xposed.
Now the forced 0.39 version does not run, leaving me with me 'Failed to log in' text. Please guys, work on some help I put my trust in you
I'm on Paul pizz and when i follow the instructions I can get full unroot, everything flashed, but when I go into Magisk manager I am not prompted for anything and if I hit the toggle for root it just toggles itself back. It appears that even after removing the super.su from system in twrp that I still can't get it to install.
I have also removed Xposed with the uninstaller and tibu to remove the APk. I can get systemless Xposed to install and work but not systemless root.
Any ideas?

I'd it's still detecting root, the su binaries haven't been removed completely. Also check that magisk toggles off root.

If you have xposed active, it may not allow you to toggle root off. You have to go to system less and deactivate and then reboot. Then turn off root in magisk. It's the only way I found to get it to work.

Root and install xposed.
I have used a stock rom, as it says on the magisk thread and followed all the instuctions and still failed.. lm not really botherd about using the mod anymore, but l made this thread so all the other people who are in my situation can get help or a tutorial on how to install it on s7 & s7 edge. Coz l could not really get much help from the official thread.

I'm using sac23's custom Note 7 port ROM. After installing his ROM, I went to SuperSU, clicked the option for cleanup to install different Super User app. Reboot phone. Then I booted into TWRP, flashed Magisk, then flashed Phh's Super User. Reboot system. Then install Magisk Manager or Auto Magisk app. Activate Auto Magisk under accessibility settings. Works like a dream.

One more step, sorry. You have to also install Phh's SU app from the Google Play store.
Besides Sac23's Note 7 Port Rom, has anyone else tested or used this Mod on any other s7 or s7 edge Rom..

Magisk works fine with any ROM. You just need to use a custom kernel or:
Obtain root using CF - Auto Root
Remove root via SuperSU app
Click No when asked about restoring stock boot.img
Go through the normal Magisk/Phh Superuser steps to install
Only thing I've noticed is that banking apps can still detect that I am rooted. Not sure if this is because I did SuperSU/modified boot.img method. I may try flashing back to stock via ODIN then flashing a custom kernel and install Magisk that way and see.
I've already tried all this. Do you think it's because i've got encrypted device?!
I've tried so many combinations as well... In the end, i have to always restore the stock firmware, run CF-autoroot and xposed normally.
Any ideas why? anyone?!

Encryption isn't the reason, I'm encrypted too.. There isn't really a benefit to it right now anyways. SafetyNet has been updated, you can't pass it with Xposed PERIOD until another bypass is done by the dev.
The key like someone said on a different thread, is to run CF Auto Root, then unroot with SuperSU. Follow the steps from there and you should be good to go but as I've already said, a lot has changed since then. Su-hide isn't working half of the time etc. Better off waiting for them to sort out all the issues first.

Magisk is pointless right now. Simply having an unlocked bootloader causes SafetyNet to fail. The latest version of magisk also removed the checkbox to turn root on and off. To use Snapchat YOU MUST login before any modifications. Make a titanium backup of Snapchat logged in, then you can restore it whenever you want.

What part of S7/S7Edge do you fail to understand?
Or, boot into TWRP, format data to unencrypt then flash latest magisk and reboot. Once booted, open magisk manager hit menu button and open settings, check magisk hide. Exit settings, open menu and open magisk hide, there you can check any app you want to hide from root. done.
I can confirm that Magisk v11.6 installs and appears to function perfectly on my stock, unrooted, bootloader unlocked MCG24.251-5-5 device. Also, MagiskHide is not enabled by default, so keep this in mind if you're using a work device or any other situation where you might get in trouble for failing safetynet. That's all I know so far.
Go forth and Magisk!!!

Sorry, I was wrong about being able to disable it. There doesn't seem to be an option for that. But as long as Magisk Hide is enabled, Pokémon Go works fine for me.
More complicated question:
If I'm rooted via Computerfreek's debloated stock ROM, is there any point to running Magisk--and if so, how would I switch from SuperSU to MagicSU

The only advantage gained would be the ability to pass safetynet/use Android Pay/play pokemon go while rooted. To switch, uninstall SuperSU by selecting the full unroot option in the SuperSU app, then flash Magisk.

It's mostly for intellectual curiosity and maybe android pay.
But it didn't work--at least how I went about it.
I went into SuperSU and did a full unroot but did not restore the boot image (should I have?)
Then downloaded and flashed the latest 11.6 magisk
When the phone came back up, SU was gone but Magisk didn't re-root it. There were no options to do so.
Tried a second time and wiped caches but no change.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Magisk needs the OG boot image to work properly?

I installed it on stock MCG24.251-5-5 and Superuser is an option that appears in Magisk Manager. Yes, you should probably have the stock boot image before installing Magisk. I think the Magisk installer is designed to detect existing installations of SuperSU and not install its own superuser if it's detected, so if the full unroot didn't clean itself up properly for whatever reason, that might be why it didn't install with superuser.
It says:
...
-(Recommended) Restore your boot image back to stock
-Download the latest Magisk zip file
-If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
...
Which zip of super su should I flash therefore before flashing magisk zip?
I am currently, after restoring a backup, running your MGC stock with stock kernel, but I try installing bhb27s kernel now.
Ultimately I simply want to hide root+xPosed against my banking app...
€DIT: Wait, so SuperSUB may not be necessary, but is it safe to install magisk over bhb27s kernel?
I would do the following:
-Install newest v44 kernel from March, 12
-Reboot and look if Wi-Fi still works ...
-install Magisk 11.6
-Check if phone still works
-then install a working xposed
-Check if everything works
Is that correct or should I use another kernel version? I don't want another bootloop or damaged wifi^^

I don't see any problems with that plan, but you should know that xposed will insta-fail safetynet. If you want to hide modifications from anything that uses safetynet, xposed in any form is not an option. The only thing that works for me is Magisk 11.6's built in root, no xposed, no other modifications. With that, I can use Android Pay, Pokemon Go and my banking apps just fine as long as Magisk Hide is turned on. Android Pay and PoGo are blocked by default, but you need to make sure to go in and manually check the box next to every other app that you want to hide stuff from.
Also, if you insist on using SuperSU instead of the built in Magisk root (why???), you will also have to install the latest version of suhide (and I'm not positive that works anymore).
.I did not exactly know Super SU is just an option so I will not install it. Wish me luck
Also I hope there will be a way to hide xPosed however my banking app does not use SafetyNet, there is still hope, I don't care about Pokemon Go.
€DIT::: Everything working perfect - however safetynet fails when checking with Magisks own test. I guess it detects the Bootloader?
€DIT2::: Now after another reboot safetynet is successfully bypassed. My banking app still doesn't work - looks like they found a way that is even better than safetynet.
I just haven't had time to dig up another boot.img and flash it. I might revert back to SuperSU and come back to this later.

Try clearing the data for your banking app. Maybe it's set up so that once it fails, it never checks again. Also, clear cache/dalvik cache in TWRP if you haven't already. Also also, did you remember to block the banking app in magisk hide?
Please, can someone help me to replace magisk without any bootloop, I just don't like this magisk thing and prefer good old supersu. Please, nearly all the nought rom for s4 has magisk and I really want su. I tried two to just to flash the zip, and i had to factory reset twice. Thank you . :crying::crying:

Thank you for the reply but how do i uninstall magisk
Nearly all the Android 7.x ROMs are using Magisk because of its ability to bypass SafetyNet for use with banking apps as well as Pokémon Go. Plus, SuperSU just recently had a botched rollout in that some devices bootlooped when it was installed, some devices lost root completely, and some were unable to update the hosts file using AdAway. Couple that with the new owners of SuperSU trying to slip analytics items into the app, not to mention excessive permissions for the bug reporting feature and you have a mess. So, while I have absolutely no idea what issues you're having with Magisk, you're doing far worse in my opinion going back to SuperSU and should instead use phh Superuser. It's as simple to use as SuperSU while not being saddled with SuperSU's excessive permissions and device problems.
With that said, if you really want to go back to SuperSU, dirty flash your custom ROM if using one (uninstalls Magisk), then install SuperSU and reboot.

Nearly all the Android 7.x ROMs are using Magisk because of its ability to bypass SafetyNet for use with banking apps as well as Pokémon Go. Plus, SuperSU just recently had a botched rollout in that some devices bootlooped when it was installed, some devices lost root completely, and some were unable to update the hosts file using AdAway. Couple that with the new owners of SuperSU trying to slip analytics items into the app, not to mention excessive permissions for the bug reporting feature and you have a mess. So, while I have absolutely no idea what issues you're having with Magisk, you're doing far worse in my opinion going back to SuperSU and should instead use phh Superuser. It's as simple to use as SuperSU while not being saddled with SuperSU's excessive permissions and device problems.
With that said, if you really want to go back to SuperSU, dirty flash your custom ROM if using one (uninstalls Magisk), then install SuperSU and reboot.

If his ROM comes with Magisk "out-of-the-box", then dirty flashing won't do anything.
@Pwnycorn: LOL...I didn't think that one through, did I?
In any case, the bulk of my post was reasons why NOT to use SuperSU. Personally, there's nothing SuperSU can do that Magisk can't, and I don't miss SuperSU at all. In fact, I ditched SuperSU on MachineX ROM and successfully replaced it with Magisk. I replaced MicroG in that ROM as well, but I digress.
