What do you mean "downgrade apps", and how exactly do you think you're going to take legal action against a not for profit open development project that you use at your own risk?

I'm still not sure what you mean. Are you saying you want to use Android 9 apps on Android 10? The apps should be the same, more or less, although it's up to the app developers as to what versions and platforms they support. You can typically find older versions on Apkmirror.

No, are you familiar with the “Let Me Downgrade” module? If I have the official YouTube app, and it’s on version 36.8.34 and I want that same exact app to become 36.8.32, I would not be able to do that without the downgrade module. Sadly, that module is made for LSposed. Is there one for magisk?

Oh, I understand now. I am not sure.
I've generally been able to get around this restriction by clearing storage for that app, uninstalling it, then installing a previous version. No modules needed. And since you'd be sideloading the older app, it shouldn't be linked to the Play Store for updates...

I don’t mean sideloadin. Like downgrading the app. Look at the module I mentioned above.

Okay...
The only version of an app that's going to be available on the Play Store is the latest release. To install a previous release you'd have to download it from somewhere like APKMirror and install it directly, which is sideloading. So unless there's a different way of rolling back to a previous version of an app that I'm not aware of...

Sidelaod it’s but use it to update the official app. Looks at the module

“Android's app installation system does not allow users to downgrade to an older version of an app when they already have a newer version installed. Let Me Downgrade is an Xposed module for Android 12 and 13 that enables users to bypass this restriction.”

I understand that, that's why you have to remove the later version first before you attempt to install the older version. Are you talking about installing the older version as an "update" to the newer app?

I am confused about what you are trying to accomplish.
During boot, apps are checked and if more than one instance is installed, the newest version is loaded.
For example.
If YouTube is included as a system app, updates are installed into userdata.
The updates can be removed but the version in system will always remain since system is read-only.
On boot, the newer (update) is found and loaded instead of the system version.
The update will still be treated as a system app.
If you want to downgrade YouTube to a version that is still above the version in system, just uninstall the update and reboot.
Then manually install the version (above system version) you want to use.
Make sure to turn off Auto-Update in PlayStore.
If you want to install a version below what is installed in system..
Then you have to disable the system version first.
You can do this with Magisk to make the system version fail to load.
Spoiler: Example
Replace System YouTube - [GitHub] - Link
Replace System YouTube Music - [GitHub] - Link
I have shared these in a Pixel thread or two.
Even though I archived the YT module, it still works for current Pixel builds.
(Maybe I should (de)archive it?
I am guessing that is (or similar to) what the LSPosed module does. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯​
Cheers.
Edit:
Corrected links.

Is there any way to do this for any app? Not just youtube? I need to downgrade a system app to a lower version then supplied with the latest system update, withouth downgrading the whole system.

Zgfg has a Systemless Debloater module that uses Magisk's 'replace' option.
Same as replacing the files manually with a zero byte file.

Thanks for the info. I've actually deepened myself into magisk modules, and came to the conclusion that creating a 'simple module' that replaces/mounts system files/apps is quite basic/easy, as it is built into magisk. unfortunately, in my case it also needs patches to the underlying system (removed/modified system calls). Thanks though.

Magisk Manager update issue!

I got my phone (SM-G950F a.k.a Samsung Galaxy S8) rooted about a year ago or so...and since, i update MM whenever needed but this time when i tried to update it, it says this:
Unsupported Magisk Version
This versio of Magisk Manager does not support Magisk version lower than v18.0
You can either manually upgrade Magisk, or downgrade the app to an older version.
I cannot go into the app cause that message will pop up and after i press ok it closes by itself!
Any ideea on how to fix this? If i have to re-root the phone please do explain..even then i didn't knew for sure how i did it, but i did it..
Thanks in advance!
Ahh... Me too. I'm sure this somewhere in the extensive Magisk coverage here. Is it too lazy to ask for a pointer to how to
--- downgrade the manager? That's probably easy if I know where to get the apk. Which version should I go for?
--- install the new magisk over the existing version, preferably without wiping the phone?
Sure, I'll search. But it is quite a while since I did anything with magisk, or anything that involved flashing, and I feel a bit lost.

OK, so there's a wiki and stuff. Whilst being babied would be nice, people have better things to do, and I guess I'll just start in reading that wiki and... stuff.

Delete the Magisk Manager app as you would do with any other, download the proper version in .apk (check the official thread) and install it.
In the thread, under Sources, you have the link to the GitHub repo. Scrolling down you will find the README.MD file and the link to the Downloads page where all past releases are available.
From https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/ you can read:
The Magisk framework is now installed on your device. To manage it, you’ll need the aptly named Magisk Manager. This is what will allow you to install modules. Download the latest Magisk Manager APK here and make sure you have “Unknown sources” enabled in the Settings. Install the app and open it up.
The Manager app allows you to adjust root settings and also install modules, which are installable mods. The app doubles as a repository for a bunch of great modules that can easily extend the functionality of your device. Using the Manager app is an important part of getting the most out of this root method.

That is, the app Magisk Manager is independent from the Magisk framework you have installed. Deleting the app does not affect Magisk.

I'd reached there, although not done it yet. As you say, my phone is still working, Magisk is still working, it is just the manager app that needs dealing with. None the less, I appreciate your time and effort. You paint a clear picture for others who come this way.
Thanks.
Open the updated app & ignore the error, then checkout the option showing update magisk(not manager), go for it, dont select any preservations & click on direct install(which is recommended by app itself).
Flashing of the update will begin, then after reboot your problem is solved.
Magisk Manager has many improvements and features over the last year...

Looking for the best magisk modules+recommended rooted apps

Hello guys. I make my phone rooted yesterday and i really want to improve my phone, make it change(some fingerpring and etc) and really want better battery.
Can you please help me guys?
I just can tell what i used and satisfied:
Magisk and TWRP you use already.
Viper4Audio for better audio quality if you have good headset
I changed the Kernel to Kirisakura or Arter97 (still testing which is better)
For the look i use Renovate ICE v14 (on telegram channel)
And for bloatware i use xXx No Limit v12 (and in the prop file i manually choose what i need or not / Viper4Audio and Youtube Vanced included), but you can find 2 other scripts if you need just de-bloatware (dont remember the names but you can find here), and for anti-ad i use Energizer Pro (faster than ADFly)

First of all thanks for the comment.
Ive got viperFX, this is good version?
What is bloatware if i can ask?
With Renovate you can costumise what you want? Can you send me download link please?
About adblock, i searched for it in magisk but found something else, Energised protection. Its the same or should i download something else?
One more thing. I want app systemizer to delete administrator apps but i cant download it. I also cant download xposed and etc... Why?
ViperFX is good, the newest version is 2.7 but if you have 2.5 is the same good just 2.7 is better view (material theme)
Bloatware is what you want to remove. Its come with pre-installed app with your phone (ROM), for example facebook already installed by default.
xXx No limit ROM, have a custom file called build.prop. its a text file, if you want to install, you have to install via Magisk (can be remove anytime), and you can modify the build.prop before.
What you need, what you dont need. and put the xXx ROM file and the build.prop file in the xXx directory of your internal card. Dont worry, its not a "real" rom, it will leave your OxygenOS, just add/remove extras. Same way working the Renovate. Install via Magisk, can be removed anytime. Magisk is mostly for optical tuning, like change the font or color of statusbar etc. You can see both's features in the link.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...agisk-rom-xxx-nolimits-7-0-speed-ram-t3933927
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...vate-ice-oxygenos-tweaks-stables-svn-t3934356
For NoLimit have newer version you can find it in OP8 topic, and RenovateIce have newer also, you can find in their Telegram channel.
this is the AD Blocker: https://energized.pro/ - you need a terminal emulator like Termux from google play.
the most popular script is Blu but the most blocked AD site is in Xtreme (slower of course but still fast). This can be download from Magisk repository (yes, energised protection)
About better battery, change the kernel to Kernel to Arter97 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/oneplus-7-7-pro-7t-7t-pro-cross-device-kernel-development/arter97-kernel-oneplus-7-t3952578) from TWRP (it will recognise you have magisk, so nothing to do after install).
I want app systemizer to delete administrator apps but i cant download it. I also cant download xposed and etc... Why?
You can find MANY apps need root for delete system apps, but i recommend to use script, because you can recover if you make mistake.
For me the XPosed had problem (Actually the Riru -both - YAHFA and Sandhook) on my phone. So i cant tell.
I hope i could helped you.

I cant see the screenshot, but i think the two version is android 9 (Pie) or android 10 (Q). Choose which one is your OOS version.
Yes, just go to TWRP and install, thats all. You can check in settings/about after if you changed or not.

Question Safety Net Failure

I'm on latest Firmware Rooted Using Magisk. Safety net failure even after Trying every fix modules hide options and what not. Kindly help.
It appears to be an issue with the newest release of the Magisk (the patch, not the app).
I can confirm mine was passing until installing an update to Magisk. After booting, it failed with or without the fix.
Found a fix on a telegram page, give full credits to modulesrepo and TeamFiles for finding this method.
-- Open Magisk and Flash Riru Core, But do not reboot.
-- Go back and flash Lsposed in magisk & reboot your device.
-- Now install XPrivacyLua apk
-- Open Lsposed and go to modules section and choose XPrivacyLua from there.
-- Select system framework, Settings storage and Google Play services there.(Uncheck the system apps from hide section settings for Play services to show up)
-- Reboot your device
-- Open XPrivacyLua and search google play services, click drop down menu in left of play services and tick 'use tracking' as shown in the screenshot.
-- Tick 'use tracking' on banking apps too and clear data of them after ticking
-- Now clear play services and play store data through your phone's settings.
-- Hide magisk and change name of magisk
-- Your Safetynet Should Pass Now!
Came across that a few days ago, but it seemed excessive.

Thanks a lot, But thats a lot of modules for a phone without TWRP right now ....
I kept getting a failure error as well but now it's all good follow the instructions and links from this video. You don't have to follow the entire instructions you can skip to the part for the magisk safety net module and info
Now clear play services and play store data through your phone's settings ? how to do it ?

Loud and clear.
If no other option comes up, I will go with the guide with Riru.
It's a huge risk tbh, because ROG 5 doesn't have TWRP yet to revert if anything goes bad.

Yeah. I'm waiting on the module to work. It's been converted to Riru, but both beta and canary builds of Magisk still fail. I haven't tested the stable one.
The one in the video works fine for me tho. Didn't work at first but for whatever magic reasons everything was fine after some restarts

Yeah. I'm waiting on the module to work. It's been converted to Riru, but both beta and canary builds of Magisk still fail. I haven't tested the stable one.

As we don't have twrp, if something does fail can't we just use fastboot and flash the device again?

Raw firmware can fix almost anything. Factory reset can fix the rest.

Question Magisk Systemless Hosts Module for AdAway

Hi!
I just updated to latest Canary of Magisk(25210) and I just noticed AdAway stopped working. it says to reinstall the systems hosts file. when I make the attempt it fails silently.
is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?
Nope, not just you....I saw some bug posts in github so suspect there is a bug. I think you can wait for an update or possibly downgrade to 209. I think Ima just gonna wait a bit.
ok thanks! I'll wait as well.

Also, 25206 seems to be the last canary build without a "bug".

thanks for the tip! I just so happen to have 25206 in my phone so I'll be reinstalling it.
edit: well nevermind that didn't work. it just autodownloaded the latest canary.
I'm using Magisk 25200 with zero issues🫠
25209 has no issues AFAIK

Worked perfectly for me until I updated
25208 works, too.
So I uninstalled 25210 apk. Installed 25208 apk downloaded previously. Opened Magisk 25208 and direct installed. Reboot.
Do not update the Magisk app until 25211 is released.
From Magiskokoro on the Telegram channel for Magisk:
"For anyone use official Canary Magisk, don't update to Magisk 25210, the module functions might not work.
Magisk Delta users won't be affect"

How is it actually forcing you? I've always seen it just prompting you to update app/magisk.

I ended up uninstalling the whole thing. I deprecated to 25206 and 25209... After installing both of those, I am still having an issue with systemless hosts installing and AdAway playing nice. I still get the error
Same issue but I am waiting for an official magisk update. Maybe today or tomorrow...
I wonder if this persists with a removal of -w with a new image. I would hate to have to wipe the whole phone to fix this issue.

This is a Magisk issue and not an Android 13 issue. So, you wouldn't need to wipe your phone if you had upgraded your Magisk app and flashed the updated, patched init_boot file. You will just need to upgrade the Magisk app to the 25211 build, patch another stock init_boot.img and flash that newly patched init_boot.img.
If you check on the Magisk GitHub page, the error was pointed out and resolved. In one of the changes, a programmer set the command to make a directory AFTER a command that makes that location privatized (and thus, the directory cannot be created). It was supposed to be the other way around.

I understand this... I don't see 25211.

I Broke Magisk

It updated today, and now I can't open it and I keep getting error messages to say it keeps stopping.
I'd been holding off on the update because I knew there was something going on with the developer going to Google and all the root/hide stuff being disabled. Not sure how to roll back or what to do.

No clue, I'm not sure what its status is these days. That's why I was hesitant to update (I've also been knocking back the Android 12 system update for the same reason).

You can't uninstall the Magisk app; like from the App section in Settings or app info of the app? I'm not talking about the applied Magisk patched boot image.
Because I'm thinking you can just uninstall the Magisk app (as it's glitching and force closing), and try installing the stable or earlier canary builds...

I don't know how that would affect root, or Magisk hide, as I know a lot of that has been nuked since topjohnwu got hired at Google.
I also currently have Magisk hiding itself, which may make even an uninstall difficult if I even knew what to install over the top of it.

Uninstalling the Magisk Manager app would not affect root; you might not be able to run certain rooted apps properly without granting them root access, but that's because of not having the Magisk app to grant it.
I don't know about topjohnwu being hired and working for Google or what not, but Magisk is still being currently worked on and developed so it has not been "nuked"...
How is Magisk Manager hidden "itself" if you claim you attempt to run the app and it force-closes? The only way for Magisk Manager to "hide itself" is that it merely renames itself (to a name you can choose; default is "Settings") so it's not detected by any root detection. In any case, you should be able to find it in the Apps list in Settings/Apps, and uninstall it that way.
As to what to install over the top of it, installing the latest stable 25.2 would be the best idea -- the Magisk App does not need to match the version that is patched and flashed to your boot partition...

My understanding was that he got hired and they said he had to give it up, there was some negotiation and they let him continue working on it as long as Magisk Hide was removed as a feature.
But this isn't something that really interests me all that much, so I don't keep up with the news on it. I more just check in whenever I get a new phone in order to figure out how to root it.

Again, I ask, as you stated; you try to open it -- so you must know what name it's under then (even though it's hidden since it being hidden is just it hiding its name) -- and it keeps force closing or stopping... so why can't you find the app details and uninstall it?

Magisk is pretty much the only way to root at this point -- I just learnt of another method KernelSU, but it seems pretty basic, especially in comparison to Magisk -- and the status of Magisk is that it is still very much active and actively developed; as it is the sole rooting method for numerous Android running devices, not just Pixels.
Your original issue is that Magisk Manager isn't working properly after updating and seems to be freezing/force-closing. The standard way of fixing that is to uninstall/remove the Magisk Manager app and re-install it (either the stable version or an earlier canary version that had worked previously).
Removing Magisk Manager app will NOT affect root and/or the patched boot partition. It WILL affect granting apps root access and will affect Magisk Hide (or Zygisk DenyList) -- but that will only last as far/long as rebooting and re-installing the Magisk Manager app. Once you re-install it, you will gain all of that back; it is only momentarily lost in between the uninstallation and re-installation.

The first one is the first, general Magisk thread (that is still active and currently discussed). The second is as it is stated in the headline -- "This is a discussion and help thread for the newer versions of Magisk".
Most likely this is where you should go for your issues -- and to see how actively developed it is currently being.
It's just as you said, you've been away from rooting/Magisk for a while; the newer version of Magisk contains/employs Zygisk -- "Zygisk is new generation Magisk hide...Zygisk is what the Magisk developers call running Magisk in the Zygote Process of Android. The Zygote Process is the first process that the OS starts when it boots up, ... Since zygote starts first after system, it can hide root without sending data to apps." (source) As such, that's why a new thread was created and why it is sub-titled as "The Age of Zygisk"...
*but there are many more methods of hiding root than Zygisk (or in conjunction with); Shamiko, Magisk Delta, HideMyApp, etc.
In the end, I'm sure they'll suggest what I've suggested to you in some fashion -- you'll have to uninstall the Magisk Manager (hidden or not), and re-install the stable or earlier canary versions. But it'll be better coming from the people in that thread...
Good luck!
