Riru core/disapeared from 21.1 Magisk. Installation via Git is a joke 10.0.0.1 Oxige

Is anyone using the Riru Core module? Is it possible? My ignorance of this stuff is showing. My goal is to install Riru so I can then install EdXposed, then, hopefully a few modules.

I installed Riru Core via Magisk Manager, rebooted, and now when I run the script to root, my device freezes and requires a hard reboot (PWR&VOL+).

Also, how do I uninstall Riru to get back to just Magisk if I don't have root? I'll just reflash my stock and start from scratch if I have to.
I have problems with activation of web view implementation, modules from browsers disappeared. Thaf was kown. Sistemless via Magisk freezes.
Installed from Git... I have seldom assist to such a sydtemwide problem.
So i am thinking format system etc,
Two more consistent tries and FtheSystem...

Congrats and suggestions ???

I'll be acquiring a Samsung Galaxy note 3 (SM-A315G). The security patch is October 2020 however I don't get an error that says the firmware is not possible to be adapted, rather it just fails straight up at line one. Doesn't give any real information on why. Don't have the device in front of me at the moment.

Well, I can confirm that this works on the Acer Iconia one 10. (B3-A50FHD wth MTK MT-8167A on android 8.1) This, along with unlocking the bootloader, also allowed me to gain perm root with magisk. Thanks for the discovery! I'm going to do some tinkering with porting TWRP over to it and see where I can go from there. I'll post my results in a different thread later. Thanks again!
It has been a while but do you remember how you gained permanent root on your aconia 1 10?

Hello all. I have a Tinno/Wiko Ride (U307AS), rocking the MT6739 chipset. I have seen this device work for a few of you, verifying with @diplomatic. I just cannot seem to get it going. I used to do a lot of Samsung and Motorola unlocking back in the day using tools like Odin, but now I am running KDE Neon instead of Windows.
In the terminal, with ADB, mtk-su gives me this:

[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
QW7S8TEYMJSWKZMN device
[email protected]:~$ adb push /home/wytdeer/Documents/rootwiko/mtk-su_r23/arm64/mtk-su /data/local/tmp/
/home/wytdeer/Documents...(65144 bytes in 0.037s)
[email protected]:~$ adb shell
U307AS:/ $ cd data/local/tmp/
U307AS:/data/local/tmp $ chmod 755 mtk-su
U307AS:/data/local/tmp $ ./mtk-su -v
Failed critical init step 1
./mtk-su
Failed critical init step 1

Same result or less thru terminal emulator on device.
attached is the CPU-Z verification page to give thorough device info. Help would be fucking tits, from anyone

Everytime I try to run the file, it says
Failed critical init step 1
i also tried mtk easy su, all the versions and all versions of magisk, but still the same issue... Previously it worked and I rooted my phone easily, but after installing an ota update I can't root it again.
Device: Oppo A5S, oreo
Developer options, oem unlock, usb debugging and disable permission monitoring are enabled

After you've started using mtk-su, the first thing you should have done is disabled all FW updates and avoided applying any optional OS updates from that day forward. Your firmware has been patched against this tool for months. I have had the following warning posted here for a long time. Unfortunately, most people who install mtk-easy-su never bother to check this thread for information and find out where mtk-su actually comes from (and who made it).

NOTE: Any firmware update released after March, 2020 is bound to block this temp root. Think twice before updating your device if you would like to keep using mtk-su.
Oppo A5s -- up to A.30 only
The good news is that rumor has it your phone lets you downgrade the firmware. If you manage to do that, then mtk-su will work again...

First of all thank you for you work on developing such an awesome tool...

However, I am encountering this error. And I followed instructions to a T

"
Can't acquire root privileges (Dec 22, 2020 3:21:45 AM)



Executing scripts from /storage/emulated/0/init.d (Dec 22, 2020 3:21:45 AM)



magisk-boot.sh

/data/user/0/com.ryosoftware.initd/files/script-1044225735855930085[139]: ./mtk-su: inaccessible or not found. "

Any help or directions you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you once again
