Switch from Magisk to SuperSu - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I'm running stock S7 rom and am rooted with Magisk. However, I would like to switch to SuperSu as Magisk causes some problems for me (CPU frequencies not sticking etc).
Is there a way to do this?

Magisk has an uninstaller (link in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) so my best bet would just be run the uninstaller which will remove Magisk, then install SuperSU through it's official instructions?

Attempting to Install Systemless Xposed Fails and Removes Root

So I'm currently rooted using Systemless SuperSu 2.67 which I flashed using TWRP 3.0.0 (installed by Odin 3.11). I've been trying to install the Systemless Xposed Framework (required for me since I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 G930W8). Regardless of whether I use Rom Manager, Flashfire or TWRP to install the Systemless Xposed Zip, the process always completes but after my phone reboots the Xposed Framework is not installed (shown as not active or installed in the Material Design Installer) and my root no longer works aswell. Is there any way for me to install the Xposed framework on my phone without having it fail and losing my SuperSU root?
Thanks.

Magisk on Note Edge

Hi Folks
I searched for rooting the new Galaxy S8 (I might get one) and came across an app called Magisk
to root the device and it sounds pretty good.
My question is, would this work on the Note Edge, (in my case the G variant)with 6.0.1 stock rom...

Yes, it will work on all Android phones. Nowadays, Magisk became a famous root because it has cool features. The best feature of it is that you can hide root for specific games or programs like banking app wich can't open while the phone is rooted. I will write quick and simple below for how to flash Magisk.
1. If your phone is rooted flash unSU.zip
2. Flash Magisk v12.0
3. Wipe Dalvik/cache
4. Reboot and wait to update the programs about 10-15mins
5. When the phone is booted install the MagiskManager v4.3.3. which is not available in PlayStore anymore
6. Open Magisk and go to settings
7. Enable BusyBox and Magisk Hide (This will pass the SafetyNet security)
8. Go back tap to check SafetyNet (It will be green coloured) and you're done
Now u have Magisk with a rooted phone and a lot of features inside
Sweet...Thanks a million... I think I start from scratch anyway with flashing a stock rom...
so, just to be safe, I flash stock (let it boot and make the initial setup)
then flash recovery, and there I flash the Magisk file and at last install the
Magisk app and thats it... or is there something else, I've seen ont the S8 tutorial
that there is another file to be flashed in recovery... but I assume this has something to do with security features from Android 7/Samsung...
So, i have a Note Edge SN 915G stock ROM 6.0.1
Tried to flash in ODIN custom recovery TWRP so I can flash Magisk from recovery. It didn't work, because the reboot restores the stock recovery back.
Tried again by not rebooting and removing the battery after flashing in ODIN the TWRP. The custom recovery remained flashed, this time, but it didn't open: recovery is not seandroid enforcing error.
Flashed CWM second time with ODIN, removed battery, boot into recovery (CWM worked and opened successfully).
Flashed Magisk zip from the custom recovery, but after reboot ended into boot loop, soft brick with error Set Warranty Bit: kernel.
Reflashed stock firmware with ODIN, back to normal.
Any adivce on how to flash that darn Magisk properly?
Thank you.
PS: I did not wipe davlik after flashing Magisk, though. Could this be it?

Thanks a lot for the tips I have a question: After installing Magisk, I want to get Xposed installed, but it bootloops me at the Samsung logo every time, with the zip sdk23 of xposed by the official thread of rovo89 (thanks for his great work), and also with the xposed 23 at Magisk Manager. Did you get it systemless Xposed to work with Magisk in our Note Edge?
telefon notum kenar n915f magisk'in en son sürümünü indirmek istiyorum ancak indirmek istediğim sürümü indiremiyorum v 22.0
I want to download the latest version of magisk but I cannot download the version I want to download is v 22.0

magisk installation

hey guys im thinking of installing magisk on shield k1, its running the latest firmware with twrp installed and ive got a custom kernel too, what do i have to do get magisk installed?
That's easy. Just like flashing another root zip, like SuperSU. Just put the zip on the phone. Boot TWRP, select "Install", and pick the zip. Reboot and you are rooted with Magisk! You should have an app installed "Magisk Manager". Open the app, to access the various Magisk functions.
If you are already rooted with SuperSU (you haven't stated), then you will need to unroot, before flashing Magisk. Use the xda search function, for the "unsu" script.
Does this also work on Lollipop?

Magisk hell resolved??!!!!!!!??!!!!!!!!!!?? fix/work around

im new at thisxda stuff but i am 90 percent sure i figured out how to keep magisk from uninstalling after a reboot... YOU MAY NEED TO UNINSTALL MAGISK AND ALL MODULES BEFORE DOING THIS USING MAGISK UNINSTALLER basically you have to also install an older version of supersu and it has to be an aroma installer and install as SYSTEM also make a backup of the boot.img just incase you get bricked if you install the supersu app it will say su binary occupied but install should stay install supersu aroma (2.78v2) from https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3879523&d=1474248173 before and possibly after magisk install...only tested with magisk 16.2 beta channel and regular install not patched boot on Axon 7 with RR 8.1 weekly 6.0.0 20180225 (us variant) but should work on others probably...let me know how this goes for you
TRY AT OWN RISK I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVICE BOOTLOOPS OR BRICKS
If anyone has a better way to get magisk to hold after a few restarts please let me know
sidenote:this supersu does work with magisk not installed and definately keeps root
(stock boot.img is in initial zip for custom rom) select intall imgs in twrp and flash the boot partition as needed)
ALSO YOU CAN ALWAYS DIRTY FLASH CUSTOM ROM same build or higher IF ALL GOES TO **** AND WONT LOOSE APPS OR DATA AT LEAST ON RR

A7160 (Chinese, Exynos chipset) - Magisk downgrade / TWRP request

I rooted my A7160 last year using Magisk only, no TWRP, since I couldn't find TWRP for the Exynos chipset. A couple days ago I dumbly let Magsik update to v22.1, which removed Magisk Hide, an essential for me. I want to downgrade Magisk, but haven't yet found a way to do so without TWRP.
First, does anyone know of a way to downgrade Magisk without TWRP? I've tried restoring my Titanium Backup of Manager, but that prompts me to download and install the full Magisk, which will leave me with the new Magisk. I also tried fresh install of the 7.5.1 Magisk Manager app, which only lets me install 22.1.
Second, is there any work on or anyone willing to work on TWRP or other custom recovery for the Exynos chipset (A7160)?
Third, is there any other way to hide root? A brief search did not yield anything promising yet.
Thanks in advance!

FYI Update for others' reference: I got what I needed with Zygisk and DenyList, so should be OK without downgrading. If I need to downgrade, I realized an option that may work: re-flashing the previously-used patched boot.img.
