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?

Did you uninstall SU before trying to install magisk. The two together may cause conflict.

Try twrp 2.8.7 hltevzw. You are using the stock ROM which is android 5. Twrp 3.1 and higher is for android 7 and up. I missed that the first time I read your post.

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.

Has anyone been able to get magisk to work appropriately? I attempted and the magisk apk kept fc'ing. I read about LG devices needing a boot.img "bump". Is this true or has anyone got it working in their own way?
There Is no root method for variants that don't have a unlocked bootloader. You would know this if you read the forums before asking

So, quite frankly, if you read, another user has it working. Further more, with the TMO variant, I do have an unlocked bootloader. Root application works with magisk, however the APK itself fc's.
I thought cowboys were polite ; )
I misread your post thought you were the typical person asking for a update on root I apologize.

I have the H918/tmo and I was able to get magisk running with phh's superuser. I'm kinda iffy on magisk-hide, as i had issues with it initially ( random reboots with it enabled). I turned off magisk hide for about a week, then turned it back on last night with no reboots since.. but haven't tested it with apps.
After running the easy recowvery + root script, i got rid of SuperSU. I believe all i did was a Full Unroot in the options, with no changes to the recovery. (I also may have done a format /data when rebooting to recovery again, but i dont recall fully, so take that into consideration if it didnt work at first (followed by the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip).)
After getting rid of SuperSU/su binary, what i remember doing was:
1 ) Flash magisk v9.zip -> reboot to system to make sure it boots, then adb reboot recovery.
2 ) Flash phh's superuser r266-2.zip -> reboot to system
3 ) install magisk manager via apk, and phh's superuser via playstore.
4 ) test out root.
has anyone been able to get Phh's superuser to work on the Sprint v20 / LS997 ?? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
If you can't get this working there is an app called RootSwitch. It can successfully hide root on the V20 with a toggle.

ive got 1 working and 1 in testing that uses magisk and phh.
the phh superuser seems to be casusing the systemui to force close often when in hide mode and the random reboots and loss of service, otherwise it was working fine.
but yeah, just flash version 10.2 on your current rom and see what happens!
btw this was on DEC sec patch, on oct builds i never tried it, but this is latest DEC sofware, didnt even use rootswitch

Tried RootSwitch w/ SuperSU. Didn't pass SafetyNet if that's what you were referring to.
Tried it again last night. Had the 1st 3 options turned on. Soon as I opened Android Pay my phone hot booted and got stuck on the VZW splash screen. Had to pull the battery. Won't try that again with supersu.
I have a VS995 this is how I got my phone to finally take magisk and pass the safetynet check. I'm running software version VS99513A I performed dirty santa to get unlocked bootloader and root access. Now I tried to uninstall supersu threw the app and I got a failed message. I tried going into recovery and flashing the supersu unistaller and that would fail. I tried flash magisk v12.0 and keep getting error message. I got stock in twrp recovery several times and used LGUP and flash either VS99512A KDZ or the VS99513A KDZ. Am not a developer but it seemed as if the boot.img won't take by the magisk zip. Those where my failed attempts for about a week or two. Now on to the success story
Performed Dirty Santa on software version VS99513A. I decide to flash modstock kernaI update v1.1 because it seem to work well with a stock rooted VS995. I flashed busy box in recovery and downloaded the app and also downloaded quick reboot so I could reboot into recovery easier. After reading @poixninja thread on modstock kernal - stocked with goodies he mention flash a boot.img that was patched with magisk. So I but the phone into fastboot mode and flashed his boot.img onto the phone with cmd (command prompt). I think I might have tried to uninstall supersu threw the app and I think it didn't work after flash the boot.img. So I put the phone into recovery mode the to wipe and then to advance wipe and clear dalvik and cache. After that I went to install and flashed the supersu unistaller and it took. After flashing I wipe the cache that twrp ask after most flashes. I then rebooted into recovery to make sure my twrp was not affected because I had and issue with that in previous supersu unistaller attempts. Rebooted ito twrp recovery then rebooted into system. I think whenever I flashed the verzion logo stayed up longer than normal but the phone fully started up. I clicked on supersu and it said no root access. Turned of the phone and did the steps to get to recovery mode. Once in I first wiped dalvik and cache. Then I flashed magisk unistaller and it went threw with no issue. I wiped dalvik and cache then rebooted into recovery. After getting into recovery I rebooted to system.
Sidenote: I recommend after wiping supersu and flashing magisk unistaller. Once you boot up install magisk apk. I didn't install the apk until after I flashed the magisk v12.0 in recovery. I noticed when I reboot the magisk icon was on the phone but when I clicked it it said go to playstore to download. I had the magisk manager apk on my SD card so I just installed it. The install to longer than normal I think it was because I didn't install it prior to flash the zip in recovery. I didn't get a chance to verify it yet.
Once the phone boot and I installed the magisk app manager I open it up and got green checks for installed magisk v12 and properly rooted. I went to setting and turned on enable busy box, magisk hide, and systemless. But when I clicked safetynet I got cts mismatch. Did some research and read on other XDA magisk thread that it maybe because of custom roms, modified kernals and possible supersu somewhere on the system. The only root accessible apps I had installed during this process was busybox and quick reboot. I did notice the first time I ran quick reboot after getting magisk it did give it root access then it did after I opened it again.
I decide to uninstall quick reboot and busy box. I uninstalled both apps. I rebooted into recovery mode the manual way. First thing I did was wipe dalvik and cache. Then I flashed busy box uninstaller. When the flash was running I say in the command lines that it found supersu. Which I thought was odd so I also flashed supersu unistaller. I rebooted into recovery wipe dalvik and cache and flashed uninstall magisk. Then reboot into recovery. I ran busy box uninstaller one more time to see if it would pick up supersu again and the command lines did not mention it. I flashed back magisk v12.0 rebooted into recovery. Then rebooted into system
Opened magisk went to setting to turn on enable busy box, magisk hide and systemless. Check safetnet and failed I found a magisk XDA thread that talks about common issue. It said I had to check magisk core only mode. Once I did that he requested a reboot which I did. Once back up I first cleared in app manager under show system I cleared all data for google play store, google play service for instant app, google play services. I opened magisk clicked safetynet check and I passed it. I went to search for netflix in play store and it pop up I installed it and it working fine so far. I tried logging into snapchat and I got threw.
Hope this maybe help full to anyone having issues

If I may be so bold, I played around with the rooting process on mine (I have a VS995 on 13A, too), and found a much easier (and possibly cleaner?) way to do this. Of course, the way I'm about to suggest would require a full KDZ to stock and a factory reset...
Here's mine:
Follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/lgv20-vs995-verizon-aio-post-06-19-2017-t3624326
Note: For noobs: After step 13, it's a bit misleading, because it doesn't boot DIRECTLY into TWRP, but boots to the white-screen "stock" recovery. The trick is to tell it "Yes" to both reset prompts. (It doesn't actually reset your stuff.) After this, it will take you to the TWRP menu.
When you get to step 14E, DO NOT FLASH SuperSU!
Instead, flash the ReStock zip.
After flashing ReStock, follow step 14G, and then flash Magisk 13.3 (latest stable, haven't tested others) from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
I tried this out of order a couple of other times and ended up either having Magisk not following through with install, or developing issues installing certain apps. (Either getting a -504 error from Play Store, or having valid APKs reply that they were "corrupt" when directly installing.)
Of course, all of the stereotypical disclaimers apply-- YMMV, and I'm not responsible if you brick your device, yadda yadda...
No offense, intended, sentra10550. While I'm glad you managed to get things working, the directions were a bit convoluted and I hope my humble findings might help yourself, in the future(?), and any others that may have a VS995.
Good luck, everybody!
)O( NeoHiPPy )O(
Think I'll wait until an easier method comes out for the VS995 to run Magisk lol..
I was UNABLE to do full unroot on my V20 from SuperSu settings menu. It would say "uninstallation failed"
I tried running UPDATE-unSU.zip from TWRP and it did not help. Magisk keeps on complaining about modified boot file.
I am unlocking boot loader, trying to flash Magisk in TWRP instead of SuperSu as per DirtyStanta root method instructions.
I will also flash restock 1.3 right after to stop static and vibration issue.
If it works, ill update my post.
---------- Post added 21st February 2018 at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was 20th February 2018 at 11:48 PM ----------
Ok i got it working. It was easier then i thought it would be.
These are the steps i did the very first time i got into TWRP after bootloaded unlock process as per DirtySanta rooting instructions.
Entered TWRP
DID NOT format data>yes
Installed Restock1.3 and Magisk.zip
Wipe cache and dalvik. Says Failed to wipe Dalvik (dont know why but what ever)
Reboot.
Result: Asking for unlock password 9 attempts left. So i have to Format Data>Yes
Re-entered TWRP
Format Data>yes
Reboot.
Root works. No SuperSu needed.
Conclusion:
You have to format DATA not for the root to work, but to be able to get into the phone. If there was a way to bypass that, there would be no need to factory reset to root. Root method would not require you to wipe the phone.
How ever, some apps that i use still do not support systemless root. They fail to do their work such as removing system apps. I cant remove any of my system apps for some reasons. I get "failed" messageevery time.
I was told i need modules for Magisk, but i have yet understood what that even means.
Other apps that use root, work fine. Such as AdAway.org
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!!

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.

You can either update via the Magisk Manager app,or,if you have TWRP,use it to update to the latest Magisk.

Thx for info
I always update through TWRP. Just updated. Since I always choose the hide magisk option replacing it with a random name I uninstall the app real quick before I reboot to recovery. Used to be if you didn't you would end up with two apps installed. Don't know if this is still an issue or not. Either way all your settings will still be there. I uninstall the app, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk. Boot back into the OS, all my settings are already there, so the only thing I have to do is rehide Magisk.

I'm having issues acquiring superuser rights with the new update (stock rom/kernel). On some apps it works on others it doesn't pop up with a notification, Titanium Backup being a notable one.
Any ideas?
edit: got it working by increasing the length of time before timeouts from 10sec to 60sec.
I usually start over.
I flash a virgin boot age to both slots.
Reboot with TWRP
Install TWRP zip
Install ElementalX and Magisk zips.
Change slots and reboot recovery
Install ElementalX and Magisk in this slot.
I have the same OS version and kernels etc flashed in both slots.

Hey guys, sorry for my stupid asking. I have following case:
I had installed an old version of magisk. Today I got the update offered in magisk manager app. I updated the manager first, now I have 2 magsik manager apps in my device. I opened the new one and it says that I haven't installed the latest version. So far so good.
I downloaded the latest V18.1 from GitHub and installed the zip via twrp.
It installed normally and booted as always.
But I still have 2 versions of the manager apps in my device. Old one says I have V18.1 installed, root access is there. Checked it with root checker.
The new manager app says that I haven't installed the latest version and I have an update available.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get to a normal state with 1 manager app ?

Same thing with me. I tried it twice to set of something weird happened with the same result. And if you do a safetynet check on the old app it deletes the new one for me for some reason.

That is another strange thing... I don't see the app, but when I want to install it again it says 'Do you want to install the update...' [emoji848] and that fails... [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]
Sometimes when you reboot the phone it appears

Any update? I seem in same boat ...on 9.0.12, some root apps work (torbot, liveboot) but AdAway says not rooted. Malwarebytes says rooted. Su command in terminal gets denied.....
This
Blows
As far as magisk manager it disappeared and apk install fails....
Sometimes magisk manager can get hung up in the update and then it doesn't want to let you in. Force stop, and see if i will let you in. Didn't work for me but you never know. I had to get it to where it was refusing to install the update, then while that was up go to settings where I could see it in my apps and uninstall it. Then I just installed it again, DLed the boot image, had magisk patch it, flashed it. The image and instructions are around here somewhere.
Was able to uninstall manager by using settings>apps but still cannot install magiskmanager and reroot attempt still no good. Still stuck.
Try flashing Magisk Uninstaller

No dice.
And originally I did.
Flashed Magisk uninstaller
Flashed OOS update
Flashed TWRP
Rebooted
Flashed Magisk....
No love
I did retry the Magisk uninstaller zip again since you brought it up...but no.
I've even tried the TWRP terminal Magisk module uninstaller to see what is there....only shows Magisk 18.1....which is only sort of there....
The Magisk Manager app must be installed separately from Magisk itself. The zip file does not install the app.

Hello. it's my first time posting here. So I've had a successful attempt at flashing TWRP and Magisk into my phone. Today I accidentally plugged in my charger while it was in the process of rebooting, so it entered my device into kind of a bootloop. I solved this by going into Download Mode and pressing 'Cancel', which prompted my device to successfully reboot and work again.
The problem is that I've somehow lost my root. None of my apps can get root access, CPU-Z says no root available, and Magisk Manager said "Magisk is not installed". Idk how I got to this because yesterday all was working, I assume it's because I got a bootloop or went into Download Mode.
I tried to install the official Magisk ZIP file from the Manager, go into recovery mode, and flash it via TWRP. Unfortunately this didn't work. This is the only solution I can come up with besides reflashing Stock and having to flash Magisk again and wipe all my current data. If anyone has any suggestions please comment down below as I'm kinda stuck rn. They would be greatly appreaciated!

Thanks. I tried the methods listed in the "Lost root randomly" section and unfortunately they didnt work. Do you have any other ideas? Maybe I could "Select and Patch a File" in Magisk's Install but afaik Magisk doesnt have its img./tar. file.
I should probably just flash a fresh stock and redo the root process, but then my data will be wiped and I dont really want that lol

Have you tried the uninstaller through magisk or twrp then try again with magisk.
When trying to re-install magisk do you get any errors.

Also if worried about losing apps/data do a backup before trying anything.
The easiest way is to flash firmware and start from scratch again but backup first.
