How do I install an older version of magisk? - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I would like to know how I can install a previous version of magisk through the method of patching the boot.img since my phone does not allow installing twrp, try with version 20.4 but it forces me to update to the latest version is there any way to do this ?

I think this Youtube tutorial video can help you. I didn't find reliable information rather than this.

updating with magisk and twrp

I have a google pixel recently rooted with Magisk and have TWRP. My system is informing me of a system update, and it says Couldn't install update. I've seen people suggesting using FlashFire to flash a factory image of the update, then install Magisk right after that. So how would i go about it? can i do just that? is it possible to update that way? can i flash both magisk and twrp after flashing the factory image? thanks in adv

Try this
2x speed video of my using FlashFire to update the Pixel to the February Android 8.1 update, plus flashing ElementalX custom kernel v3.02 and Magisk v14.2. A little less than 3 minutes at this speed.

You have to be on Magisk 14.2 (not a higher version) to begin with, though, so if you're not, disregard this, or search for and read the appropriate posts for uninstalling Magisk and installing the correct version in order to use FlashFire under 8.1.

Now, I try install supersu both: google play store and

but when I try update supersu su binary update, it always fails.
anyone please help me.
Is it the latest global version or three branded latest version?. I found that the latest software version from three fails ever time, the latest global software works first time.
If you install the magisk 16,it won't ask to update binaries.

Bootloop after root atempt

Hi,
I have a Pixel 4a from google store. I had the october update on Android 11.
I followed this tutorial to root my phone : https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-android-11-pixel-4a-every-step-covered-detail-0333038
After doing the step 16 (magisk), my phone booted with the Google logo for a long time.
Then I went to the donwload mode, I have the error message "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly."
What should I do to re install android and to get my phone rooted ?
Thanks

You had the wrong Magisk version, so it patched the boot.img wrongly.
On Android 11, one must use the newest Canary version of Magisk.
Get the newest Platform Tools (important!), get the newest Full OTA from Google's website, flash it via the flash-all.bat which is included.
Then repeat the rooting process with the right Magisk version.

Magisk 23.0 compatible with newest stock image RQ3A?

Hi,
I tried to patch the newest stock image 11.0.0 (RQ3A.210705.001, Jul 2021) with Magisk 23.0. Patching of boot.img looks ok, at least it does not complain. Then I flashed the patched image (or booted from it directly, to test).
The boot works, but Magisk does not detect any installation. It wants to install the full app, and then displays "Install n/a".
Did Google change anything which breaks Magisk? If so, is there a safe way to downgrade the phone without loosing data?
Best Regards
So I'm running a Pixel 5 currently, but it sounds like after booting to your patched image, you just need to go grab the Canary version of Magisk from the official GitHub: Magisk 23 Official GitHub.
I've had this happen too after flashing the patched boot image and rebooting back to homescreen.
If you don't install the apk separately it'll try to install Magisk on it's own, but doesn't usually have success in doing so, at least in my experience. So just download the APK from the official GitHub or try the Canary version of Magisk 23. After installing the APK you should be good to go!
If I'm not mistaken, you can grab the APK there or try the "stub-release.apk" for a direct "Canary" version.
The reason I mention the Canary version is because it's like an updated beta, but I've had a lot of success running it myself (Pixel 2XL and Pixel 5).

The July release works fine with Magisk. Did you have Magisk installed before updating to the July release? If so, did you hide the Magisk app? In that case, you'll have to unhide the app, remove both instances, and reinstall.
If that is not the case, just complete the install as @ProjectAlly said. There is no need to use Canary, though. Currently Canary and Stable are the same.

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.
