If you have some other root, while there is no root or Magisk Manager cannot be updated from Magisk Manager

  1. Get rid of a third-party root, if there is one (ask questions about this in the theme of this root or in the theme of the firmware of your device). If you have SuperSU, the easiest way is to flash the archive with the delete script
  2. Get rid of the old version of Magisk, if it is installed – flash the uninstaller Magisk-uninstaller-20180708.zip in the custom recovery. After the uninstaller firmware, it is advisable to make a wipe cache and dalwick cache
  3. Restore the stock kernel (reinstalling the kernel itself or reinstalling the entire firmware cleanly – your choice). Ask questions about this in the comment below or on the update page for your device
  4. Flash the archive with the current version of Magisk in your custom recovery
  5. Install the Magisk Manager application to manage Magisk and its modules

Uninstall Magisk from Android

  1. Flash in a custom recovery the uninstaller Magisk-uninstaller.zip. After the uninstaller is flashed, it is advisable to make a wipe cache and dalwick cache
  2. If your recovery is broken and uninstaller did not help, restore the stock kernel and manually delete /data/magisk.img, /cache/magisk, / data/busybox
  3. NB! Magisk makes a backup of the kernel in /data/stock_boot_<sha1>.img.gz before performing patching, so if you have problems you can always manually unpack the backup, flash the kernel in TWRP and return your device to life
  4. If after deleting the Magisk device hangs on the boot screen, because dm-verity is activated in the sink core, restore the stock partition / system or install an alternative root
