Worked fine for me in all v13 beta's .. Just updated to v13.1 final and now a boot freeze..

[Edit] Attempted a 2nd time to install and reboot. This time it worked.

For the couple of you saying it worked, what device/software are you on?

So far we see multiple people on Samsung s8, a sony xperia and some HTC 10's with problems. Can you please elaborate what you are using?
LG G2 RR 5.8.3 (Nougat 7.1.2), Magisk v 13.1, module working fine

It looks like LG is the key here. 2 people on it say thats what works.

but i got it to work with 13.1 like this:

Install magisk 12, boot into phone, reboot, install module, reboot into phone, check it is installed, then reboot and install 13.1

Hmmm, I wonder what is making the difference there. I know some of my plugins will break going back to 12, so I will wait until this is updated instead of messing with it.

Great find on the method though!

Thanks

Hello :)
With the next Magisk release (13.3 i suppose), all previous modules will must up to date with the last template, so could you make the changes please ?

Thanks in advance

I'm on Galaxy S8+

If I install it and reboot, fail (had to use uninstaller and start again)
If I install, do not reboot and re-install a 2nd time, when I rebooted. It worked.

Anyone want give that a go see if it works.

Update : I'm using 13.3 also did a quick look inside the zip file comparing it to v4 template. It looks like it is to my novice eye.

Redmi 1S / Resurrection Remix OS 7.1.1 / Magisk 13.3 / SD set as internal

Also not working. If I am not mistaken, I should be able to see a folder in /mnt/media_rw/ but that folder is empty. Did anyone managed to get this working on similar specs? Or alternatively, know of some other way to be able to access the internal SD card?

Dont work for me....
I have S7 flat with Resurrection Remix OS Nougat and Magisk 13.2
hey, @_Exeedy_ do you think you could update the module to the Magisk Module Template v4 and issue it to the Magisk repo?

Personaly this module works perfectly for me since Magisk v12 (or v11 i don't remember me exactly).
How it could be compatible with all last Magisk template update you will ask me ? No idea.
At beginning, i don't have format my external SD card as internal storage, maybe it could make a difference following different manufacturrer mobiles.

Working perfectly for me on Magisk 13.3. Just had to workaround it.

To use this module on Magisk 13 and up:
Reboot to recovery.
Flash Magisk 12.0 which can be found in the magisk folder in your internal storage.
Next flash this module.
Boot to your phone.
Go to Magisk manager.
Then update it back to the last magisk version.

Hi all, as development has stalled on this. I thought I would share my 2 cents. I had a look at this zip and it mostly seems to be latest template compliant except for a couple of differences when you download the newest template.

I had a look at what this does and it seems to replace platform.xml in system/etc/permissions
So I compared the platform.xml file in this to an untouched file from S8+ LightROM v5

I noticed 42 changes, but I suspect the platform.xml in this file is an older version to that of the current one.
Most of the changes were missing pieces of code in the newer platform.xml
So the missing code was relating to new settings I guess

What I did notice in the compare was these 4 additions. So I grabbed the latest platform.xml for my S8+ and edited it with these

Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
add:
<group gid="sdcard_all" />

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
add:
 <group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
I put this file in a TWRP patch I already use, or you could use a root explorer to replace the file.
I have SDCard R/W access without this module now, with only those 4 pieces of additional code

You are still required to use /mnt/media_rw/<sdcard_serial> to access it.

I'm in no way an expert. Simply a hack. So please if you do this, it's at your own risk

I will not be making my own module, or creating a patch as I am not even sure if the platform.xml I have is Samsung S8 specific or Android specific.. I suspect Samsung specific with some of the code that is in it looks like Samsung software..

This module is causing bootloops on my LGG2 and Magisk v14, is the dev still around to maybe look into this? Thanks
