1. Both 2.8 and 2.81 won't work on our device, mostly 2.81
2. I had it semi working on 2.8 but when I have updated to 2.81 I've lost root and couldn't re-install it
3. you can either revert back to 2.79 SR3 which work just fine or try Magisk v 12.0
4. I moved to magisk and so far so good, at least until chainfire will get his bugs rooted

Same thing happened to me. Flashed 2.79 SR3 to get root back. 2.82 has been released but I haven't tried it.
Edit: Updated to 2.82 and it works fine on all my devices - Nexus 6P, Nexus 2013, GS4 & Acer A500 tab.

Could you write a short tutorial about magisk installation. Tried 3 times to install it, but nothing happened "no root".

Actually a tutorial would be very short one.
* I have downloaded the zip installation file version 12.0
* copy it to your sdcard in your phone
* boot into custom recovery mode
* flash the zip file via the recovery
That's it.
It's the same as flashing chainfire supersu zip file.

You can also download the magisk utility from the play and use it to root your device.

Extract the boot.img from your ROM and flash before magisk zip. It always clears up any issues I'm having. If your using custom kernel will need to flash again.

I have the same problème so I just flashed magisk but seems like I can't change the permissions

As suggested before, flash your boot.img and the re-apply the root of your choice.

MAGISK root for sprint htc 10?

I have been using TWRP+SuperSU on my HTC 10 (sprint). However, I am not happy not being able to use Android Pay due to root. I searched and found a MAGISK root can do the trick.. I searched and was surprise to find not much of info on this variant.
I only found this: [ROOT] Magisk AutoRoot: Magisk + phh's SuperUser for Nougat (No TWRP required). But that's for the Unlocked version:
Prebuilt Boot Images:
US Unlocked: US_Unlocked_2.28.617.8_boot.zip
I assume I cannot use above boot image for Sprint variant. My question is, where to get this prebuilt boot image for Sprint?
I am on Android 7.0 (2.42.651.6).
Thanks!!

Thank you. I am following the guide you provided..
"If you're not rooted, or something went wrong and you need a clean start
(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
Flash Magisk zip
Reboot, and update the stub Magisk Manager to the latest from Play Store
"​
Can you please let me know how to Flash Magik zip? I am on Stock Android 7.0 by RUU. Custom Recovery (TWRP) is gone... Downloading to download mode does not have an option to install zip.... Install Magisk Manger gives me this.. Still requires boot image? Thanks.

Try my post from the Bad Boyz ROM thread. I'm pretty sure that covers it all. If you're already RUU'd you can skip that part, but you will need to unlock your bootloader if you haven't already. I think that factory resets the phone. There's another thread on how to do that via HTCDev that should be stickied, but the process is easy.

MAGISKSU for Magisk users

So as we all know magisk does not root nonrooted or supersu rooted devices (atleast not my devices) so here is simple method to gain MagiskSU Root access and possibly hide your root.
Note: i will use phh's superuser which was used in magisk before.
COMPATIBILITY:
ANDROID 7.x -- Not confirmed
ANDROID 6.0.1 -- Confirmedly working!
1) DOWNLOAD PHH'S SUPERUSER https://superuser.phh.me/
2) BOOT INTO RECOVERY AND FLASH DOWNLOADED ROOT ZIP AND MAGISK IF NOT FLASHED ALREADY
3) REBOOT AND ENJOY

Ok so this is not the correct procedure for getting Magisk to work, this is exactly how it's done in my case at least.
1. Flash a rom of your choice ( in my case it was viper rom on the HTC 10, rooted with SuperSU, I have an international unlocked device with S-Off)
2. Extract the boot.img from your ROM ( in my case it was in the root of the rom's zip file)
3. Copy the boot.img to your Fastboot folder on your computer.
4. Install Magisk Manager and download Magisk 12.0 zip to your phone.
5. Reboot to download mode and then: fastboot flash boot boot.img allow it to flash, press power to come out.
6. Without rebooting, boot to recovery and flash the Magisk 12.0 zip.
7. Reboot and check the 3 sections to see if MagiskSU has been locked in, no warning should come up when activating Magisk hide.
Done.

Magisk with android 9

I did a clean reset and installed a fresh android 9. So no root, nothing.
Anyways I install magisk 5.8.3 and then tried to patch the boot.img from the android 9 factory image.
But every time I select the boot.img and try to patch it, it says "Failed! ! Installion failed!".
How has everyone else tried to install magisk on android 9?

Not the way you are doing it. I boot to TWRP, without installing it and have TWRP install the full zip.
Hm I'll try this. Used to the boot patching.

Make sure your using 16.7 you have to change in setting to beta. Same thing happened to me trying to use 16.0
I get updater error :2 failed to install every freaking time. No matter what zip i use. 1600 1671 1674
After dirty flash (remove -w) Android 9 PPR1 then install Magisk 16.7, it seems I am not able to set PIN or any security... Anyone has the same issue?
I have the same issue TWRP also can't decript the phone. I am going to wipe everything, and fastboot erase userdata.

Don't wipe your phone! Just flash the new boot.img from the image file (not OTA file) and you will be able to go back to your Android system and disable the pin. After disable the pin, boot into TWRP and flash the Magisk from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77240449&postcount=2832

Been having issues myself since updating to Pie yesterday. TWRP installed working fine. Installed magisk manager, set to beta channel. Rebooted into TWRP and flashed magisk 16.7, phone hanging at the lovely google logo page. I then have to run the uninstaller back in TWRP or i cant get the phone to boot. Anyone had this?

Yeah, rooting on P is a little tricky it seems. You'll likely have to run the uninstaller, then boot up. Then go back to twrp and flash this version of magisk. It's the 16.7(4) version found in the Flash kernel thread :good:

Help with installing Magisk on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V

I have read many threads and lots of videos and cannot seem to get the Magisk installed.
I have flashed back to stock many times with (N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5) in order to try multiple methods.
Rooted with Arabictoolapp - used rootchecker to verify/application also says true for root
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...guide-ob6-of1-root-bootloader-unlock-t3439010
installed SU from playstore to unlock bootloader using the adp method - shows developer mode to verify - using eMMc to verify CID starts with 15
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
installed twrp using official twrp app & also tried ODIN in another trial (picked verizon americas and got twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img )
turned phone off and boot into recovery to verify; at this time i created a recovery
using MagiskManager i downloaded the zip (Magisk-v18.1.ip) and flashed using twrp - no errors but when i restart the phone it says Magisk not installed
next attempt was to extract the boot.img from the stock OF1 and then flash the Magisk - no errors but when i restarted the phone it says the same thing - Magisk not installed
another attempt was to patch the boot.img and got a patch_boot.img then using TWRP i flashed the patch_boot.img - restarted and magisk not installed
after further digging, i tried another method which was to unroot using SU, reboot, go into recovery to then install Magisk - magisk not installed
*note each attempt to install Magisk unrooted my phone
*was able to use Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip to uninstall Magisk manager from recovery - icon went away
anyways i am completely stuck now. any suggestions or comments on my approach?

what do you mean after normal reboot? so flash magisk in twrp. reboot. reboot again then install magisk manager? do you know what version of magisk i should run and where i can find the dl link?
What he means is you install the Magisk ZIP via TWRP in Recovery mode, reboot the phone, then you install Magisk Manager via the APK.
Go to magiskmanager dot com website which has the ZIP installer plus the APK for the Manager.
I only just recently tried to tackle this challenge. I also installed 0F1 with Odin, then rooted with Arabic. I was messing with Pokemon go and it wasn't happy I was rooted. I downloaded magisk manager, installed it that way. At reboot, angry message from Verizon that I have custom software and phone won't boot. I assume this is because I didn't install custom recovery.
If you figure a way to get this done, I will be grateful. One thing I don't quite follow. Magisk is a root method...so should we really be rooting the phone prior? Seems redundant and going against the whole point of magisk. Right?
I wanted to play around with spoofing GPS with PGO which requires making a GPS spoofer a system app (need root for that). Is that still possible using magisk?
I'll post any updates I have as well.
