Magisk manager not working?

[salvomic]

I installed Magisk Manager but after the logo, apparently it doesn't anything, not install files or so in my rooted Android.
Any help?

I had the same issue with my supposedly rooted Android image from Planet. I launch Magisk Manager and it just hangs at the splash screen.

No solution yet......

I was advised to re-flash the ROM, so I sent via Flash Tool the file root_boot.img only (via "Download only" feature), but nothing changed.

Did you follow the instructions on that page?

It was a few weeks ago, so I don't recall exactly what I did; it involved several steps, but it seemed straightforward.

(The first gotcha is that ‘Magisk Manager’ is not the same thing as ‘Magisk’.  AIUI, the former is a tool which installs and/or sets up the latter, and it's the latter which enables root access.)

As described on that page, after installing Magisk Manager (which may need you to enable installation from unknown sources), you need to tap its ‘Install’ button and let it install Magisk itself, and then reboot afterwards for that to take effect.

yes, I read.
Nut the problem is that here Magisk Manager load the splash screen and nothing else, no labels, no buttons... If I send it in background and then reload I can see only a black screen with the navigation keys, but nothing else...
So, I cannot install or load nothing, nor reboot...
I wrote to PC, hoping they would help to solve.

I am no expert but as I understand it

Magisk allow you to root a device using a custom recovery such as TWRP.  and do it in a "hidden" manner so things that check for rooting e.g. banking apps /  corporate compliance apps (like airwatch) which check for rooting can be fooled.

If you have a rooted image from Planet and have flashed it to the PC using the PC flash tool you don't need to root the phone using Magisk it's already done or you (although you don't get the "hiding" feature)

Magisk Manager you can get get and download and install the APK from the magisk website  - has various features to support the hiding  but also includes "#Superuser" - a root manager this has the nice feature that pops up whenever an app needs root access and you can confirm deny etc.  #Superuser is base don the previously popular "Super SU" app.

I have rooted image form Planet installed the  Magisk Manager APK  for this very purpose.    see below:

Well, thank you!
Now, as here Magisk doesn't run well, I need to complete the Planet rooting as well (with Super SU or another app?) or to do something to make Magisk working

Ok I am throwing my weight in here because Planet's rooted android just does not work. It has the weirdest layout I have seen but the su binary (and yes it is an su binary) seems to have been linked to something different.

Notice the timestamp on that binary. Seems it is just generated.

So on the off-chance I got a bum download I downloaded it again. Sadly though the md5sums match.

So no point in re-flashing it as it will not solve the underlying issue. That of broken su binary.



EDIT:

Ok so I got SU working again. I just installed Magisk Manager from the Git repo here
https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases"\" target=\"_blank\"]
https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases[/a]

0.5.7 installed and did not free this time. So dunno what I might have done to help that. But feed back from others say this is how they got SU to work properly as well.

Well, also with this repo I get the splash screen and no buttons, labels for Magisk. Very strange...
In Termux I try:
which su
I get:
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/su
then
su
and I get
Permission denied...

EDIT: installed and tried Super SU.
That app reports

Code: [Select]

SU binary occupiedWhat does it mean?

[salvomic]

fewhhh!
it was so easy...
Magisk manager was installed in SD (extended system OS), I changed installation in internal filesystem, then it ran, complained something "not installed", but after closing Rootchecker returns "rooted" and in Termux I can get "su root" or "su -" and get root...
