Hello, I am new to Magisk but have rooted my Moto Edge and successfully have bank and game apps working using modules USNF, Shamiko, and MagiskHide props conifg...however I realized I have accidently installed the Canary Debug vesion of magisk 25.2 ((25200) (34) ...How do I change to a stable or beta version of 25.2? Or should I just stay on the Canary version? Any help would be appreciated.

I just tried to update via OTA the December update but apparently something went wrong:

Uninstalled all modules
Restored boot.img
Uninstalled Magisk (stable 25.2)
Installed the OTA (without rebooting)
Opened Magisk app e unisng the inactive slot OTA-option
Rebooted

and now my device don't boot showing the red corruption alarm screen.
Any help please? (Pixel 6a A13 stock ROM)



EDIT:
Phone booted up, but apparently it's still on November update (in Settings>System>System Update still asking for a reboot).
Re-Installed Magisk 25.2 stable, but the process was like a 1st time installation rather than an update.

What should be my safest moves from here to get December update now? Thx

  • Disable Magisk modules
  • Dirty flash factory image (remove -w if you want to keep data)
  • Boot to system and confirm everything is working fine.
  • Patch boot.img and flash
I'd do this to both slots if it was my device.

Yes, Install to inactive slot method used to work but it's broken at least for P6 and P7 series after late A12 updates... See this issue:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/5959
vv points to an article stating that as part of a Chrome/Android Update Engine change for A/B devices, after reboot the update_verifier program now runs and reads all dm-verity devices to make sure the partitions aren't corrupted... A fix would involve partition digest being re-calculated and overwriten to account for Magisk binaries in the newly flashed slot.
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/update_engine/
...
Nb. Since updating with Magisk App hidden often fails it is advisable to take Restore the Magisk app before a Magisk update...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
... Clearly with every Update you will now need to restore unpatched images (use in-App Uninstall Magisk, Restore Images option) then take update, either OTA or full ROM, but you'll need to obtain new boot image from full ROM for patching (unless you use a custom recovery etc to obtain boot.img from a backup) in any case like A-only device users always needed to... Next, set up Magisk per instructions for a fresh install...

Unfortunately you have no other option until a fix for Install to inactive slot method (bypass for new partition digest checking) is found... 🙃 PW

I am still learning and I have applied some modules and after turning them off the effects are still present. How do I fix it? (For Example, hide clock on the tool/notification bar used the module then realized I need the clock , but I cannot get it back) Please provide support.

Track down the author of the module and ask *him* if disabling the module reverses its effect.

I did not have "uninstall" I only had remove/restore. That means that it was still in the system. Where is uninstall?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes "Remove", Magisk, on the next reboot shall uninstall the module

If a module has uninstall.sh script (to clean-up things), it will be executed by Magisk before deleting the folder

If you just delete the folder, uninstall.sh script (if present for that module) cannot be executed

    Didge says Bye...

    I was very sorry to see yesterday's MHPC commits:
    1. Update FUNDING.yml
      Didgeridoohan committed yesterday

    2. Bye.
      Didgeridoohan committed yesterday
    and the update of @Didgeridoohan's OP in [MODULE] [DEPRECATED] MagiskHide Props Config - SafetyNet, prop edits, and more - v6.1.2 thread:
    Didgeridoohan said:
    MagiskHide Props Config v6.1.2​

    Note: This project is dead, and has been for some time. I have not been involved in the Android modding scene for some time and I no longer have the energy to take it up again.

    If anyone feels like taking over give me a holler.

    This project was a mainstay of Magisk modification, giving John Wu's Magisk applet resetprop, an advanced system property manipulation utility, the terminal based UI that made prop manipulation accessible to Magisk users in general...

    Each option has been elegantly implemented to make what would otherwise be an arduous exercise involving user creation of custom boot scripts the no-brainer that we know so well!

    What a project, what a plethora of uses...

    @Didgeridoohan's Last post in that thread was back in February:
    Didgeridoohan said:
    Just popping in and letting everyone know I'm still alive.

    There are simply too many things going on outside the world of Android tinkering for me to be able to give XDA much attention at all. Once things settle down, and if I'm not entirely burnt out by then, I've got quite a lot of catching up to do. Can't give any kind of ETA, but I'm hoping for things clearing up before the end of February.

    Huge thanks to everyone answering questions and helping out...

    ... well clearly no clearing has occurred in Feb. or later... 🙁

    So no further updates to that either, but whatawiki!!! - Still a principle go-to for any non-lazy Magisk user w/ any issue!...

    kdragon has released an updated version (v2.4.0) of his USNF mod for his Patreon members. Hopefully will go public in a week or two.

    v2.4.0 (early access)​

    Repository: kdrag0n/safetynet-fix · Tag: v2.4.0-ea · Commit: 2f18d85 · Released by: kdrag0n

    Highlights​

    • Play Integrity bypass without breaking device checks or causing other issues
    • Disabled use of hardware attestation on Pixel 7 and newer (@anirudhgupta109)

    Other changes​

    • Updated instructions for newer Android and Magisk versions
    • Better debugging for future development
    It's taken a while to find way to bypass Play Integrity that doesn't require spoofing the build fingerprint permanently, but I wanted to make sure this module doesn't cause any unnecessary breakage. Just like the original goal of Universal SafetyNet Fix, this minimizes adverse effects by spoofing dynamically at runtime only when necessary. Enjoy!

    The caveat to this is if OEM Unlocking is enabled in Developer Options. I'm not sure if this is a bug; the Pixel devices can be flashed this way even on a locked bootloader.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Are you referring to when using Android Flash Tool to flash? If this is the case, Android Flash Tool actually unlocks the bootloader (with the prerequisite that OEM Unlocking is enabled) during the process so it can flash the image. If, however, you flash an image via flash-all, for example, with OEM Unlocking enabled but with the bootloader still locked, you won't be able to flash the image.

    Hello, I need some help with spoofing sys.oem_unlock_allowed to 0.

    My banking app (Estonian Swedbank app "Swedbank Eestis," package name "com.swedbank") detects sys.oem_unlock_allowed if it is set to 1 and disables specific options in the app (like biometric login). I can confirm that it is sys.oem_unlock_allowed because setting it temporarily with resetprop -n sys.oem_unlock_allowed 0 and deleting the app data allowed me to use the blocked features. The app doesn't complain about root; hiding root with Zygisk works without issue.

    However, I am unsure what method I should use to safely spoof this value without bricking my device. Is it safe to use resetprop -n? Does it persist after a reboot? Should I use a different method entirely?

    I'm running:
    LineageOS 20-20230105-NIGHTLY-kebab on a OnePlus 8T KB2003
    Magisk 25.2
    Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.4.0
    Swedbank version 21440
    Passing SafetyNet with YASNAC
    I am also spoofing device fingerprint with MagiskHide Props Config to pass SafetyNet.

    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    Ok, so as guessed in my yesterday's post/answer #54234, it seems that you could more-or-less achieve your wanted functionality - could you try please:

    1) Install the following module and reboot - all thanks to @huskydg for his interesting and excellent module:

    GitHub - HuskyDG/zygisk_proc_monitor: A Magisk/Zygisk module allows user to run script whenever app process start

    A Magisk/Zygisk module allows user to run...
    github.com github.com

    2) Go to:
    /data/adb/modules/magisk_proc_monitor

    and rename the original (dummy/template) dynmount.sh script to dynmount.bak,
    and replace that dynmount.sh with my customized script:

    1.9 KB file on MEGA

    mega.nz mega.nz

    My changes (customizations) in the script can be recognized as commented by CAPS LOCK comments

    How it works:

    myAPP=com.swedbank defines the package name for your Estonian Swedbank app

    myPROP=sys.oem_unlock_allowed defines the property you want to 'hide'/'un-hide'(corresponding to your Developer Options, OEM Unlock disable/enable switch)

    hidePROP=0 defines the 'hidden' property value (OEM Unlock disabled)
    unhidePROP=1 defines the 'un-hidden' property value (OEM Unlock enabled)

    You can redefine those variables (lines 24-32) if you need

    Eg, I did my own non-intrusive tests (still commented out in the script if somebody else wants to play) with MiXPlorer instead of your banking app:
    myAPP=com.mixplorer

    and by playing with a dummy prop:
    myPROP=my.test

    a)
    When module recognizes that your banking app $myAPP is pre-initializing,
    it will 'hide' $myPROP 'by setting to $hidePROP (lines 39-46)

    and you will see the notification like:
    "Hide my prop / com.swedbank, sys.oem_unlock_allowed=0"

    For this event to happen, the banking app $myAPP must be started, not brought back from background (kill and restart your app)

    b)
    Whenever the module recognizes that any other user app is pre-initializing AND that $myPROP was still 'hidden',
    it will 'un-hide' the prop by setting it back to $unhidePROP (lines 51-60)

    and you will see the notification like:
    "Un-hide my prop / com.xda.labs.play, sys.oem_unlock_allowed=1"

    All the $myPROP sitches are systemless - when you reboot, the prop will be back to its original/default value

    Issue/question:

    Of course, instead of monitoring while any other user app is initializing (case b),
    it would be better if the module could directly recognize when your banking app $myAPP gets closed (killed) and to 'un-hide' then the $myPROP property back

    However, I did not find how to recognize in the dynmount.sh script when an app is really closing and that's why I put the case b as described above

    Maybe the module's developer @huskydg could better customize the script dynmount.sh to more closely cover the original functionality as you needed:
    - 'hide' the $myPROP property only for the $myAPP application

    ---

    The really good and interesting thing with his module is that user can customize the provided default dynmount.sh script
    to catch-up events when particular app(s) are starting to dynamically apply certain changes (redefine certain properties, do particular mounts)

    Otherwise, one would need to develop his own Zygisk module, but there the Zygisk part must be coded in C (and recompiled),
    it cannot be made simply by scripting as here with his simple dynmount.sh script

    Hello, I haven't given much support on XDA lately. It can be resulted from
    • University started and I have limited free time. In fact, I mostly develop during midnight
    • I live in Taiwan, which has large time zone differences between my European/American contributors/testers, which usually forces me to stay up late at night to discuss/test stuffs.
    • The new version is about to come, I don't want to spend effort on supporting old releases
    The planned update is delayed again and again, to some point I think I'll shed some light about what has been happening lately, also along with some announcements.

    New Forum!
    As you might have already discovered, Magisk got its own subforum on XDA! Many thanks to all the support you gave me, and much more information/features/support is about to come!
    **For developers supporting all the devices that are not using standard Android boot format, feel free to create threads in this section (actually, PLEASE do so) for your favorite devices after v7 is out. As I currently know, Asus devices require signing the boot image before flashing, and is model dependant; Sony devices seems to use ELF kernel that is unpatchable, or some has two ramdisks (inner + outer), both requires different workarounds; LG bootloader locked devices has to manually "BUMP" the boot image after flashing Magisk..... and there may be lots of other crazy boot image formats that haven't come up to my attention yet.
    It is impossible for me to support all these non-standard boot images, and I hope the community can collaborate to make Magisk running across all the devices. Overall, community collaboration is what XDA about :D

    The Pixel Phone
    Some of you might already know this news, that the next Pixel Phone right around the corner seems like it does not have ramdisk in boot image, which pretty much wrecked Magisk in all ways. However, it pretty much doomed root itself too. Kernel modifications is inevitable IMO, so I'll try to migrate my scripts to C programs that could possibly be included into the kernel itself. Note that I'm not familiar with linux kernel, I'm not even sure if my idea and concept is correct or not. But once the device is available, I think developers will find a way to bypass all the difficulties, and I'll do my best to learn things ;)

    Current Progress
    In the past month, I've spent quite some time learning SELinux, so that I can avoid using SuperSU's sepolicy patches. Thanks to the helps and tips from @phhusson and @Chainfire, I finally have a much clearer understanding of how SELinux works. The Magisk core parts (the scripts, boot image patches, new features, more supports) are actually done some time ago. What is causing all the delays is the Magisk Manager.
    To be completely honest, although I can code in Java without much issues, Magisk Manager is actually my first Android application, I had to reach out for assistance, and fortunately awesome developers like @DVDandroid and @digitalhigh contributed a lot, which makes the current Manager awesome.
    After the repo system and module management is mostly done, I was about to do some adjustments and release, but what we really done is decided to add another feature: auto-unroot with per-app settings. I decided to wait for it to be finished, and then do my adjustments. Due to reasons that'll be mentioned later, this feature will likely not be available for the next release (should come in future updates)

    Safety Net Disaster
    Those who are using Magisk for Safety Net bypass purposes must have known that Google recently updated the detection method of my Systemless Xposed. I still have no idea what Safety Net is detecting, so currently I cannot fix it on my side (also because I'm busy working on the next update). However, suhide developed by @Chainfire is able to hide Xposed and worked fine.
    However, only my Systemless Xposed v86.2, which is based on SuperSU's su.d, is supported using that method. v86.2 and v86.5 (latest, Magisk based) have nearly identical binaries, and the only difference is the path where the binaries are stored.
    I'm still not sure what's the real issue for it not being supported, I just hope it is not done intentionally.

    Conclusion
    Due to the fact that my Safety Net bypass is not 100% perfect now, I do not want to spend any more time waiting for auto-unroot to be polished. What I'm doing now is finishing up all the things I'd like to change in Magisk Manager (it has been a while since I last contributed to Manager, my fellow developers are doing all the heavy job), which might take a little more time, after that, packed with tons of information to be announced in Magisk Section, I'll release the long awaited update.

    Hope this lengthy post gives you the idea of the whole situation, and again thanks for all your support!!

    Ah, some Chainfire bashing, I hope it is not too late for me to exercise additional villainy.

    First, let me make clear I have nothing against @topjohnwu, nor against Magisk. Magisk is an interesting project and it certainly displays @topjohnwu ingenuity and persistence. I don't doubt we will see more interesting things from his hands.

    -------------------------

    What has happened here is not all that dark and complicated, from either end. I returned from holidays, and someone pointed me at Magisk. My first thought: interesting!

    Among other things, the thread lists some issues with SuperSU, which in combination with the phrase The developer also requests users to not bug Chainfire with compatibility requests for SuperSU with Magisk from the portal article, raised my left eyebrow by nigh half an inch. The popular systemless xposed mod is apparently now based on it, and apparently it now no longer works with SuperSU, and apparently I'm not supposed to fix that, nor any of the other found issues. I found that a bit weird. So yes, I have told @topjohnwu that I was a bit surprised he was posting about issues with SuperSU without notifying me about them (I can't fix or help fix issues I'm not aware of, after all).

    He's also spreading a modified version of the SuperSU package, which is not all that uncommon, nor necessarily a problem. I have not looked into what he modified, I only ran a few quick tests on one of my devices, and found some commonly used commands run as root to be broken. I have informed him of this as well.

    It appears the tool of choice for Magisk is phh's Superuser, because of some of the mentioned issues with SuperSU. That's fine by itself, but fixing issues in that superuser by incorporating SuperSU's binaries into it is a somewhat questionable practise. After all, SuperSU is a commercial closed-source package that helps pay for my dinner, and superuser is a direct competitor. I have informed him that I was surprised he did this without asking for permission. I have expressed similar surprise on him spreading a modified version of LiveBoot (which helps pay for a snack now and then).
    @topjohnwu has also stated that Magisk's scripts are largely influenced by mine (I have not checked). Scripts based on mine are used all over the place on XDA, some people have crafted amazing things based on them, I have never made an issue of this (otherwise I would have just made them binaries). But yes, I have also stated to him that I don't think it's very nice to base something on one program, and then using that to (almost exclusively) push something directly competing with that program.

    tl;dr Towards @topjohnwu, I have:
    - expressed surprise he has issues getting Magisk to work with SuperSU, and has chosen not to inform me about those
    - expressed surprise he is using SuperSU binaries in a competing superuser without permission
    - expressed surprise he is posting a modified LiveBoot without permission
    - informed him of issues with the modified SuperSU he has posted
    - let him know I thought it wasn't very nice to be applying my scripts to benefit seemingly exclusively that same competing superuser

    To be crystal clear:
    - I have not asked for an apology
    - I have not asked for Magisk to be abandoned, neither the root hiding nor systemless module parts, and certainly not systemless xposed
    - I have not made an issue of any of this anywhere, until this post
    - I have not even specifically asked for anything to be taken down (though obviously in my opinion the other superuser package mixed with SuperSU's binaries, as well as the LiveBoot package, should go)
    - I have not reported this thread to XDA moderators for copyright violations or otherwise

    While my conversation with @topjohnwu may not win any awards for being friendly (though it may win some for brevity), I think all things considered my response has been rather mild. To be perfectly honest, until the apology post, I thought this was over with already. I think the apology post was triggered because I haven't replied to his last PM for a while - I was in the zone, it happens.

    To emphasize again, I have nothing against @topjohnwu, Magisk, or systemless xposed, and it is certainly not my goal to see any of them go. If it can be made to work together with SuperSU, great.

    I get it though: you think of something, you want to see if you can make it work, you finally get it to work, you publish it, it takes off - enthusiasm gets the better of you. Maybe in the rush some mistakes are made. That doesn't mean you have to just drop it and run. None of my stuff would make it past 0.1 if I stopped at the first big mistake :)

    Aside from said being in the zone coding, I usually regret actually responding to these sort of things the day after, which has made me hesitant to reply. Surprise me.

    Thread temporarily closed so everyone sees this.

    The flood of "SafetyNet isn't working for me either!" posts are not helpful, at all. Please refrain from posting further, it will be looked into. Please do not forget that not passing SafetyNet is 100% NORMAL AND INTENDED when you have an unlocked booloader or running custom firmware. These are workarounds and they will be worked around in turn.

    Hello everyone!

    I am aware that Google has updated Safety Net that makes Magisk itself a no go for Android Pay. In fact, I witnessed the change live while I am developing the new magiskhide, which should hide all Magisk modules and Magisk installed root.

    Google is serious about Safety Net now, clearly hunting down all possibility to run Xposed with Safety Net passed. I spend quite some time examining the new security measures last midnight, and fortunately it seems that it is possible to run Magisk and root along with Safety Net if no Xposed is running. I'm glad I removed the old root toggle at the right time lol, that is no longer feasible with the latest detection.

    So stay tuned for the next update, it will come with bug fixes, along with the new magiskhide to bypass that Safety Net.

    Google, how will a few systemless mods do any harm :p:p
