SAMSUNG A8 SM-A530F impossible to install magisk 20.4 - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

Hello,
i'm trying to install Magisk 20.4 on my mobile, but it is pretty impossible.
I installed correctly TWRP, Magisk Manager, no-verify-opt-encrypt-6.0 and RMM_bypass_V3_corsicanu.
The problem is that when I have to install real magisk it always fail, both from direct installation and from TWRP.
Do you have any solution?
According to a more skilled friend, the problem is that my mobile is updated to last week release and I have to wait a couple of week to let Magisk to be update to my version.
What do you think?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Magisk error 1

Hi guys! I am having some issues when trying to install magisk. I am currently running the latest twrp-3.2.2-0-enchilada. When trying to install magisk I'm currently having a constant error. Attached are the recovery log and a screenshot.
Magisk Error 1 fix
Hi, it looks as though you are trying to install an unsupported version of magisk you need to use the 16.4 installer not the 16.0 installer this will most likely fix your issue, I hope this helped. PS it is a beta version of magisk not the latest stable build.
16 is the stable build and SHOULD work!
Did for me.
It looks like the problem was a bad install of magisk. I went to the forums of magisk and found an uninstaller. I flashes it and then flashes the stable version. It looks like it worked. I have root back.

Magisk 17.0 Resulted To Bootloop

I'm pretty sure i couldn't be the only one who recently updated from 16.0 to 17.0 (Stable Channel). I first updated the magisk manager and it prompted me to flash 16.0(1600) instead of a 17.0 version. Well since i flashed the 16.0(1600) version it prompted me to download, i got into a nasty bootloop and thankfully recovered with me having the stock ROM in my storage. I'm wondering if anyone else went through the bootloop i did this morning and if people should just flash the newer zips outside of the manager

I also got a bootloop but I flashed 17.0 through twrp. I had to go through the qualcomm drivers process to unbrick it because it was hard bricked lol
Flashed uninstall magisk and than magisk 17 and all worked well.

That's horrible to have a hard bricked device. There's a hotfix that just got released right at this moment (17.1) so i'd recommend you to download that and continue the process to try getting root access back
Got the same problems as described here. Then I downloaded the latest Magisk uninstaller and Magisk 17 from the Magisk thread. The next step was to flash the uninstaller and afterwards Magisk 17 and the device booted well.
Running 17.1 and still getting the same thing with safety net check as before
The response is invalid

Yeah that's what I did and everything is fine... For now lol. Thanks
From Magisk 17.0 to Magisk 17.1, install it automatically. SafetyNet test successful
it's better and more secure deinstall first magisk manager clearing cache and data, install magisk 17.1 from twrp and if magisk manager doesnt be installed, install the apk

Anyone running stock rooted 9.0.3 upgrade to Magisk 18.1 yet?

I was thinking of trying to fix a few minor things like won't boot with charger plugged in and Google Pay getting screwed up every once in a while...but figured I would ask first.
To be safe I was going to nandroid backup, TWRP Magisk Uninstaller, TWRP Magisk 18.1 installer and try it out later on....it seems people have reported bootloops on other phones upgrading from the Magisk Manager app...
MW
I am in 9.0.3 but under xxx no limits magisk rom.
It works well

Using the new magisk 18.1 or 18?
You asked about 18.1.
I am on 9.0.3 with 18.1 magisk and the new magisk manager
Hi to all,
I am on OB12, and I'm no longer able to root since I tried to upgrade from Magisk 18 to 18.1
I already tried the 2 last versions of Magisk uninstaller and also to reflash OB12, but still impossible to root.
What is very strange is that if I flash Smurfkernel it says that I'm rooted, but after booting, no Magisk APK and impossible to install it !
Any suggestions?
Thank in advance for any help.
I have already had Magisk 18.1 on stock 9.0.3 and it was fine. I upgraded from Magisk 18 through Magisk manager.
No problems here.

This is the first think I did, but unsuccessfully: Magisk Manager gave an error message installation unsuccessful like if not rooted.
It's why I flashed the Magisk uninstallers in order to clean all previous installations that could create problems, but whatever I do, rooting is missing after booting.
Really strange...(and annoying)
OP here -- I updated and am having no issues, but I did it all through TWRP by uninstalling Magisk 18.0 first and then re-installing 18.1 before rebooting. I had already updated Magisk Manager from the app.
Only thing I noticed was I had to reset up all my settings (Magisk hide for Direct TV Now, and re SU authorize all root apps). First reboot everything was slow with root apps waiting for SU access before the request came through, but then everything was fine once it was granted.

You might could try dirty flashing your ROM and then try Magisk again. You could have something jacked up.
(of course don't forget about TWRP if you go dirty flashing your ROM)

Yes I tried this too, but unsuccessfully !
And I'm even not sure that a full wipe will help, because it concerns another partition.

Update Magisk 20.2 ?

Had anyone tried Magisk 20.2 and manager 7.5.0?
Is it bootloop free with OS 10?
I updated to the canary release through TWRP and I've been good. I'd expect you won't boot loop, but do a backup first if you can.
I updated thru mm ( after updating mm thru mm) and installed the recommended way in app. No issues.
LG G6 Pie
just updated to M 20.2 my LG G6 H870 Pie thru mm and got into bootloop. no way out and reset phone with LG Bridge (LGup not working for me since 9.0) without data loss. tried again from twrp and bootloop again. now flashing last 20.1 and won't install till next update.
I have latest Magisk Canary & Magisk Manager Canary from today, 02.01.2020. Working fine.
Did the Direct Install and all up to date! ?
I have OP6T with Android 10 AND recently updated to magisk 20.2 and Is working fine for me
Modules don't work in Magisk 20.2. They get installed but they don't take effect. I have to go back to Magisk version 20.1.

Hi, just installed 20.3 and all is working; reading the log, problems for 20.2 were known with LG.
All is ok!
20.3 everything work fine!
Hi to everyone I'm on magisk 20.1, can I update directly to magisk 20.3 via magisk manager or before I've to uninstall some modules (maybe oos native call) like rom update?

I've never had to uninstall modules to update Magisk (I have Swift Installer and xXx modules). Just update the manager app and do direct install of the update.

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.
