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I found only very outdated informations...:crying: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?

another try. i switched back to supersu wear 2.82, installed stericsons busybox. works.
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?
Does anyone have experience with turning a user app into a system app on 9.0?
I tried using terminal emulator + app systemizer on magisk and Link2DS both ways have corrupted the phone.

Are you able to recover? If so, you may have to settle without it. I know Systemizer works on 8.1, but I didn't try it on 9.0 before I downgraded. I'm not aware of any other options besides manually moving it, but that would break your systemless root, and would also need to be done after every update.
If you can't recover but can get into fastboot, you can boot into TWRP and flash "Magisk Mount". That will allow you to remove the Systemizer module manually from the Magisk image and boot back into the OS. As for Link2SD, I've never used it, so I'm not sure what changes it made that would have to be undone in order to recover.

I just flash-all to fix it then reroot with Magisk. How do I convert an app to system through recovery (in twrp)?

As long as you dont care about remaining systemless and passing SafetyNet, you could simply move the apk folder into the system app folder manually. You could do it either through TWRP's built in file manager, or do it live with a root capable file manager. Either way should work.
Again, it's not ideal as it will trip SafetyNet and must be done after every ROM update/flash. So, if you have anything that depends on SafetyNet, that's not an option for you.
Another possibility would be to look at the Magisk documentation for module building and make your own module which would inject whatever apk you need systemlessly. You could accelerate the learning process by downloading one that already does something similar and reverse engineering it to fit your needs.

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
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 dear, I install and uninstall Magisk all the time. Legitimately speaking, never once did it wipe my data ever. Unless you unlock or relock your bootloader, you will be completely fine.

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.

Hi,
I prefer v 23 because it has the hide option builtin.
However after flashing it(i think succesfuli) i do not find any new app in my fhone..

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.
