Followed the install but phone is not rooted

[revt3949]

What should i do/try/check when i have followed the install procedure (correctly and tried severel times) but my phone is not rooted?

LineageOS 20.0, Magisk 23.0

Use magisk 25.2? Did you direct install?

 

[revt3949]

Yeah, well. I need magiks-hide so 23.0 is the latest i can use. Not sure what direct install means, i downloaded the boot.img, install magisk into it using the app, and then did the fastboot flash-thingy.

Use magisk delta. It has magisk hide, and a lot more on the latest magisk.

Magisk Delta

 

[revt3949]

Yeah well, that does not look like it is matured software: no explaination what magisk delta is, where magisk delta is different from normal magisk, no details on how to install, etc.

Not sure that i want to brick my phone with this tool.

Lmao. Look at its Xda thread. Much better alternative. Has material you, bootloops protection, system installation, different ways to load zygote, sulist, magisk hid, etc,etc. Its like magisk on steroids, while being twice as reliable.

You install same way.

 

[revt3949]

You install same way.

How do you mean "the same way"?

I mean with magisk, i unzip the boot.img, patch it using the magisk app and then fastboot flash it on the device. But sure i can not use the magisk app to patch Magisk Delta into the boot.img, right?

So, is there a magisk delta app somewhere that does the patching?

Yes. On the GitHub. You can also flash thru twrp. Use previous links I sent.

Just install the magisk delta app and got it all working. The MD app even recognised the existing magisk kernel and offered to do a direct install.

Very happy and thank you for all the support. Will make a donation soon.
