need help with magisk root, twrp and xposed (update 2017)? - LG Watch Urbane 2

Hey all,
Just purchased a LG U2 and now trying to make it work in the way i want it.
All informations here seem very old, so I wanted to open an update thread, with all what is possible on th lgu2, while
I found only very outdated informations...:crying:
So far:
First I setup the watch with AW2.0, after that flashed twrp 3.1.1.0 and supersu wear 2.82
I managed to get busybox installed and wanted further add Xposed.
There my problem starts, flashing xposed didn't work out.
So right after that, I switchd to Magisk root, to try work with the modules supplied.
(Steps -> use script UnSU, after that flash boot.img again, than flash MAgisk through twrp)
But after that the same with the modules. I try to install busybox, magisk tell me its no magisk module (i've downloaded the module and pushed it on the sd through adb, while the download button isn't reachable in magisk dialogue menu)
in twrp the module tells me there is no magisk installed.
so how can we go on from here? is there a way to make it all work?
did somebody try to change dpi and download the module directly through magisk? does it work?
also if somebody could help with an updated list of sideload able full android apps?
would need an email that can handle at least two accounts directly on the watch (please not advice outlook, its working from the phone i know)
thanks to all in advance

Ok i did a fresh flash.
i see my fault was to install busybox the first time after installing supersu.
did it this time without and mgisk works so far fine. granting access for total commander no problem.
but now another thing. i installed now busybox from the repos in magisk, he say installation successful, but the module isn't there after reboot?
anyone got the same?

installed xposed sdk25 via twrp, says success, but after reboot xposed installer says no active framework.
i used a systemless framework... will search for the link again.
anybody got it done this way?

Where is the guide on installing SuperSU on the original Google Pixel on 8.1?

Hi,
I am trying to root my Google Pixel on 8.1. I was on Magisk for a long time but I gave up on it because a few root apps I was trying to use aren't compatible.
I read some guides but they are ridiculously out of date. They say to use an experimental version of TWRP because it fails unlock codes and such; a lot of really out of date stuff. Some don't mention the ElementalX step, and then other guides say a custom kernel is required for rooting. But I had root with Magisk and never had to install a custom kernel. Other guides are still telling me to use the signature zips which supposedly hasn't been needed in forever. Trying to piece this all together is causing me to rip my hair out.
Anyway this is what I did, and it kept failing (I kept getting a "patching sepolicy" error in TWRP).
1) I booted the TWRP.img
2) I installed the twrp.zip
3) I booted into recovery
4) I installed Elemental X 13.3 zip
5) I installed SuperSU zip
6) I installed SuperSUHide zip
This isn't working. Every time I try to open SuperSU it says I don't have root. I also get an error every time I boot about their being an internal problem with my hardware and to contact the manufacturer. I believe Elemental X 13.3 is the cause. I wiped my phone and reinstalled stock and I am no longer getting that error.
Can anybody let me know what the deal is? Do I still have to install a custom kernel to install SuperSU? If so, what are the steps? Obviously whatever I am doing is wrong. Thanks so much in advance.

Oh. I had no idea.
Do any root methods that aren't Magisk work?

Looks like Magisk is becoming more and more popular nowadays, so I don't think any other method with 8.1 works.
What's the problem with magisk? It's super easy and you can also install systemless modules, which is a big advantage

1) Magisk doesn't work with StickMount. I need a way for my USB-C flash drive to mount as something all file explorer programs can see. There seems to be no way to do this with Magisk
2) Magisk does not work with WifiTetherRouter. I need to use it to tether without being capped at 512kbps. It only works with "real root" like SuperSU.
3) I don't benefit at all from systemless modules because I use GravityBox, which makes the whole systemless thing pointless for me

1) OTG
2) There are tether modules on magisk and other tether apps that will work with magisk
3) How does gravity box make systemless pointless? To my knowledge gravity box just builds custom rom features on top of stock, systemless modules should work regardless and provide things GB cannot
Lastly SuperSU isn't to be trusted anymore as it is no longer owned and maintained by chainfire. And could you explain the "real root" thing because magisk is a very real tangible root.

1) Doesn't that depend on the phone? Does my phone support OTG? And if so, why does my USB flash drive not show up in a bunch of apps?
2) None of them work with WiFi tethering except for WifiTetherRouter. PDANet works but it requires a PDANet program to be installed on the receiving computer, which means I am out of luck on stuff like the Nintendo Switch
3) Because from what I understand the entire point of Systemless root is to pass SafetyNet, and SafetyNet fails if you have GravityBox installed.
As for the "real root" thing, the developer of Auto Call Recorder here on XDA told me the newest version is not compatible with Magisk, only "real root" (his words). The developer of WifiTetherRouter told me the same thing.

Pretty sure otg should work but I could be wrong. Try mounting otg via twrp. And ohh my bad I see what you mean about the tethering thing I misunderstood. As far as the magisk thing meh safetynet isn't that important and u can have a second slot that is properly intact and idk about the real root business but if that's what the devs said then fair enough

For some reason when I flash TWRP on this phone my phone will only boot into recovery until I flash back the stock boot.img (or the patched Magisk one). I am using the newest TWRP. Anyone else with this problem?
Anyway I mounted OTG in TWRP using the bootable image for TWRP. Would it make a difference? Does it have to be done in the installed version of TWRP where TWRP is my actual recovery?
After enabling OTG in TWRP I still can't find my SD/USB store in storage/emulated which is where I need it to be if I want all my apps to see it. Is there any way to do that?

I don't flash twrp zip, just boot it, I know twrp on pixel oreo has still some troubles.
You can try to put your pin and AFTER (when you are on the main scrren with all the actions) plug the otg. On nougat this worked for me, now I just put the 2 or 3 files in internal storage so I don't use otg anymore from recovery so I don't know if this method works or not.

Install ElementalX before TWRP if you wish to install TWRP.
SuperSU is no longer maintained and will not work any longer on modern versions of Android until further notice.
About the "internal problem" this can be completely ignored and does not harm the functionality of the device whatsoever.
Magisk 16.3 is the best version of Magisk and mounting USB-OTG shouldn't be problematic whatsoever. Mounting the drive in TWRP has no effect on it mounting in the system and vice-versa.
To mount the OTG in TWRP, plug it in, go to "mount" and select storage location, here you can choose between the internal sdcard and the USB-OTG storage device.
Regarding the mounting of the USB-OTG device in Android the drive must be formatted using a filesystem/partition scheme that Android is capable of mounting. I think FAT32 is the most compatible option.
Applications won't just magically see the external storage unless they're made to support such devices. Google kinda messed up some external storage functionality in Nougat and Oreo, it's kind of quirky. :silly:

Installed Magisk on Pie but root and manager is missing

Hi All,
Having a strange issue with Magisk.
I performed the upgrade today coming from renovate ice (Magisk module).
I followed the instructions of flashing the full OTA of the pie update. And then the blusparks TWRP. I rebooted into recovery and then flashed Magisk 17.1 as per the guide.
Booting back into the OS I can see that Magisk Manager is missing and my rooted apps are unable to get root either. Also when I try to goto the themes section inside settings the settings app crashes on me.
I attempted to reinstall Magisk but this did not work. I only noticed that when I was running the uninstaller for Magisk it did detect my boot image is Magisk rooted despite the OS not reflecting this.
Any ideas? My next step is 17.2 but I have my doubts on it.
EDIT: I tried 17.2 beta release and it made no difference. Exact same symptoms

I was able to resolve the issue by performing a factory reset without having to wipe data. I'm guessing something old must have been left behind. Thanks for the help you provided, I appreciate it

FlashFire "Root was found, but access couldn't be acquired!"

I was about to put this in the main discussion thread of FlashFire, but it was closed so i decided to post it here.
So this is what happened, i rooted my Xiaomi Redmi Go with Magisk, the latest one, and when i opened FlashFire, it basically said that i have root, but access couldn't be acquired. It added "Found root: 19.4:MAGISKSU".
It was said in the Supported roots that Magisk is included so can't i use this app? I also tried to change my SELinux to permissive mode by going to the terminal and putting "setenforce 0", and the app still won't let me.
Any solutions to this? I was about to do perform a live backup through this app because the current TWRP version for this device is defective for my phone, the Backup option doesn't work and I've been looking for ways to backup my phone without custom recovery, but still with root of course.
Any help would be appreciated, thankyou!
Flashfire is discontinued so it is no longer compatible with the latest versions of Magisk
You might try going back to a older Magisk. It's definitely going to be before 19.3 but it may need to be older than that. There are two ways of doing this.
Set a custom channel in Magisk manager (install the older manager first).
Download the older release. If you're not familiar with github, expand the assets link under the release you want. The zip files will be listed there.
Make sure to remove the newer Magisk first.

Trying To Install EdXposed (Problem)

Anyone give me any info on where I'm going wrong or why it isn't working?
So I'm on Android 9 - Running stock OS, rooted with Magisk 19.4, custom Kernel SJ1 (MentalMusos)
I've installed both Riru Core (v19.5) and Riru EdExposed (v.0.4.5.1 beta (tried both Yafta & Sandyhook)) via Magisk and installed the XposedInstaller (by dvdandroid) but each time the app tells me the Xposed Framework is not installed. The app also prompts me to update it, which just returns a parsing error.
Also, not sure if relevant, but if I try to flash Riru Core or EdExposed modules via TWRP I get an "unable to mount system" error?
Thanks for any help guys.
Sorry posted in wrong section, thought I was in Q&A. ?*
Update for anyone that's interested...
Managed to get EdExposed installed. Seems DVDandroids apk, is specifically for Xposed. I used the wrong APK the entire time, you need to get the APK from the Magisk module instructions which is specifically for EdExposed (EdExposed Manager by ElderDrivers) - How I didn't notice they were different APKs is shocking and I guess I deserved the bootloop I got. I Think the mishmash of modules I had installed and uninstalled probably caused that. Or maybe because I aborted the setup process that Tab entered into once it rebooted. Learning experience I guess.

Effect of Uninstalling Magisk

My phone is rooted with Magisk after installing TWRP recovery and it's working fine except banking apps which do not run due to rooted phone
I don't use functions of rooted phone so much, only in extracting whatsapp keys to backup my whatsapp chats etc
1) Can I uninstall/unroot Magisk anytime and reinstall/root again smoothly whenever the need arises?
2) Does installing/uninstalling root wipe data?
3) I saw following para in https://magiskmanager.com/uninstall-magisk
Your phone will be rebooted automatically. Don’t worry it is normal
That’s it! You have successfully uninstalled Magisk from your phone.
This process will completely delete all the files from your phone, and you don’t need to worry about anything.

What's meaning of "This process will completely delete all the files from your phone" here?
Thanks & regards,
Maria.
AFAIK any tampering of a phone's Stock ROM can get detectected by banking / payment apps - if they want to. IMO the very only method to remove all traces of modifcations applied to phone's Stock ROM is to re-flash phone's Stock what in turn causes the loss of all user data stored on phone.
1) Can I uninstall/unroot Magisk anytime and reinstall/root again smoothly whenever the need arises?
Yes.
2) Does installing/uninstalling root wipe data?
No. As long as you're not locking/unlocking your bootloader, you should be fine. Always a good idea to back up your data and system bacakup since you have TWRP anyway.
3) I saw following para in https://magiskmanager.com/uninstall-magisk
I believe this is reffering to all the MAgisk data only.

My advise is, Incase you feel your modules will be erased, just take a screenshot of ur magisk Modules. Screenshot which you can use to later download the exact same modules. Or u can keep magisk module downloaded before hand. Now if magisk is not working, magisk Modules will not show for you.
If magisk is not working, you don't need to uninstall it. Just go to recovery and reflash the magisk.zip or magisk.apk. both will work, bcos that is how it is. Magisk.apk can be directly flashed from recovery menu. Once you reinstall magisk from recovery and it should start working. If after reboot, it is still not working, then just install magisk.apk while you are in android. (Not in recovery, but normal mode) and then open it and see what it says.
If I can help, I will surely. Let me know how it goes. Usually no data is erased. Don't worry. Magisk Modules or magisk, don't effect the system. U can also download magisk uninstaller.zip if you want to completely uninstall magisk.

The best, and only official place to download magisk from is GitHub. At least I think. And well there is one another website I download it from, it's not malware, but I will provide you with the GitHub link itself.
For Magisk v23.0 (One with MagiskHide)(This release also has online module repo, where you can download extra supported modules for your device from online repo of magisk)
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v23.0/Magisk-v23.0.apk
For Magisk v25.2 (It does not have MagiskHide, but this is much more better, and there are more effective ways to hide root using Zygisk (new feature in Magisk v24 onwards I believe) (This one does not have Online Repo for Magisk modules, it was also removed in a previous version of Magisk, and you can use Fox's Magisk Modules manager if you want to access and download magisk Modules for any of the future releases for Magisk) If you want the link for Magisk v25.2 then here it is:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v25.2/Magisk-v25.2.apk
Just if u face any difficulty in flashing the apk file in recovery, just rename it to magisk v23/v25.2 (whichever u choose, I kinda recommend using the latest version) and rename it into . Zip. And if u plan on going with v25.2 and want to access the latest online repo and some of their own Magisk modules, then here is the link for the latest version of Fox's Magisk Modules manager:
Release 0.6.1 - Maintenance Update · Fox2Code/FoxMagiskModuleManager
Add Androidacy test-mode fix to non test-mode Update Brazilian translations by @DanGLES3
github.com
I am currently using the latest Magisk v25.2 on my phone, and currently running on the latest version of Fox's Magisk Modules manager as well. And also, using the method for hiding root that I mentioned before, I am completely successful in covering my root, and my safety net is passed. Completely Passed. Play store or any other app I don't want it detecting root, does not detect root. So we all good if you want to flash the latest update of Magisk.

Release 0.6.1 - Maintenance Update · Fox2Code/FoxMagiskModuleManager
Add Androidacy test-mode fix to non test-mode Update Brazilian translations by @DanGLES3
github.com
I am currently using the latest Magisk v25.2 on my phone, and currently running on the latest version of Fox's Magisk Modules manager as well. And also, using the method for hiding root that I mentioned before, I am completely successful in covering my root, and my safety net is passed. Completely Passed. Play store or any other app I don't want it detecting root, does not detect root. So we all good if you want to flash the latest update of Magisk.

Alright your preference is your own, but maybe hear me out, v23 will soon become outdated, as in some magisk Modules will stop working for it. And the magisk hide, according to the founder of Magisk @topjohnwu, he said that magisk hide is become really ineffective in blocking root, or stopping apps from detecting root. If you want a more powerful version of Magisk hide, update to v25.2 and I will show you how to activate it step by step. It's not built-in, rather it is a new module. So yeah.
Alright and about your question; if you don't find the app in your phone, in your apps drawer, just open file explorer, go to the location where u have kept the magisk.zip file or magisk.apk file. If u have the apk file then just install it once more, from android while in normal mode. If you have the zip file, then just rename to .APK and install it same like above. Then open magisk to continue (mostly after proper install, magisk will reboot your phone once more). Any steps you are stuck in, pls sent me a screenshot, so that I can help.

Hey, I see, okay use magisk uninstaller to completely remove v23 first, and then flash v25.2 afterwards.
From what I researched, it seems u can easily uninstall magisk by renaming magisk v25.2.apk (the file we downloaded) rename it into uninstall.zip
And then reboot to recovery, flash it from recovery to completely uninstall magisk v23. (Make a copy of the file before renaming into uninstall.zip.) that way we can flash v25.2.apk /v25.2.zip directly.
Hope everything works for you.

Just Flash that, in order to uninstall Magisk from your device. And then, install the latest Magisk v25.2
