OK, I'm stuck. PF doesn't like the 25210 Manager version, doesn't seem to see the 25200 module. I tried installing the 25206 from the .apk but get some kind of JavaScript error.

Do I have to uninstall the 25210 manager first? I think I'm going to lose root -- will I lose all my data?

How do I proceed here?

I don't follow... Use stable magisk. Then update magisk after flashing if you like. Stable magisk works fine on the March update pixel 6 pro.

Logs...it's all about logs...

if you wish for the best help, you'd get it from the OP/dev/creator; and the first thing he'd ask you is to submit the log on it. Especially considering it's a JavaScript error that most likely has something to do with the program/GUI and/or the program's dealing with the .apk.

But I saw somewhere else say, when dealing with Magisk Canary, it's always best to remove all Magisk (both app and patched partition) before installing/flashing another canary version...

So submitting the log and @'ing him would probably work out best...

You don't lose root if you uninstall the manager.
The Magisk core / Daemon is what you flash, and from your screenshot that appears to be on 25200 (stable)
Without logs I can't speak of your JS error, but PF does not use JS, it is written in Python, so I'm not sure what you're experiencing.
Just uninstall Magisk Manager, Install the stable and reboot.
Then give me support.zip if you are still having an issue.

I didn't make it clear that the javascript error I was getting had nothing to do with PixelFlasher. It appeared when I was trying to manually install the 25206 .apk I had downloaded from the github/magisk site. (Mentioned here earlier as the newest one without issues.)

My confusion over "uninstalling" the Magisk Manager stems from the fact that there's a button inside the app that says "Uninstall Magisk". Tapping that get's you a warning message of dire consequences if you proceed.

If you just uninstall it from the App Info screen, everything is fine--as you suggested.

I was able to install the 25200 manager, and it looks like PF will proceed properly.

The 25206 Magisk is the one that throws the javascript error when I try and manually install its .apk after uninstalling the 25210.

[edit] I just realized I did NOT flash to the inactive slot in PF. Will that be a problem?

Nope. You'll be fine.

@wilberfan Are you really getting a Javascript error, or is it a Java error?

 

[wilberfan]

@wilberfan Are you really getting a Javascript error, or is it a Java error?

"1: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'java.lang.Strong andro..." is as much of the error message I can read.

 

[J.Michael]

"1: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to read from field 'java.lang.Strong andro..." is as much of the error message I can read.

That's Java.
What program gets the error? How is the error presented to you? (Is it a pop-up you have to dismiss? Is this printed in a log file?)

It could be that the Python you have is implemented in Java, and that this is the strange way a Python error is reported. Is there any traceback? (list of procedures showing the sequence of procedure calls at the moment of the exception)

It's the 25206 Magisk .apk from a link (above). I'm just doule-tapping it. I get a pop-up error that just disappears when I tap it to try and read more of it. I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro, running the latest 13 beta.

When I try an open it specifically with the "Package Installer", I get a "There was a problem parsing the package." error message.

Could I have downloaded the wrong .apk for my hardware...?

[edit] It's "app-release.apk" from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk-files/find/5b2934603f979d7133e67bbc30c6ce3fa0d8e31e/

You definitely downloaded an APK you were supposed to download. I don't think there are different APKs for different hardware. I don't know how to determine the Magisk version -- maybe examine the APK, it might contain a text file with a recognizable version number.

I think during the installation of an APK is too early for the error to be from the package being installed. Maybe there was a problem during the download, and the installer is choking.

I tried downloading it again--same result.

I bet you are downloading the html instead of the apk.

Open the apk inside an editor
See if you see this (bad one)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" data-color-mode="auto" data-light-theme="light" data-dark-theme="dark" data-a11y-animated-images="system">

or this (good one)

You should be able to open the apk with 7zip
if it is a correct file.

You should click on view raw to download

I've read you should get it more from "builds" in the Action section like from here (supposedly this is 25206): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/actions/runs/4373376674

than files from other places in the repository....

 

[wilberfan]

You are 113% correct.

 

[wilberfan]

You are 113% correct.

After downloading the .apk (and NOT the html version) I was able to install 25206 (after changing ".apk" to ".zip" and flashing from within the Magisk Manager.

But when I then changed the .zip back to .apk, and installed it like an app--it installed v 25210 of the manager.

[edit] PF processed the latest factory image with 25206--and didn't complain about anything being 25210, so I guess it's OK...

Correct,
Like @simplepinoi177 said, you are downloading the latest.
to download older builds, follow this, compliments of @ipdev

 

[nijave]

Had some issues running on Fedora last time I tried around December but worked buttery smooth this time! Thanks!! (Pixel 7)

I intentionally was going for 25206. You're saying that .apk contains 25206 and then loads the latest manager?

You're right I thought you were downloading the latest, I just checked and your link is indeed 25206.
So let me get this straight.
You renamed the 25206 to zip
You installed it as Magisk module using the 25210 Manager
You uninstalled the Already installed 25210 manager
Rebooted? <---
You installed the 25206 APK ?
