Magisk and MagiskHide Installation and Troubleshooting guide

What’s this?

This is a collection of guides and troubleshooting tips and tricks for installing Magisk and Magisk modules, and getting MagiskHide to work. Some of these tips might work if you have problems, some of them won’t.

This is mainly collected from the different threads in the Magisk forum @ XDA Developers.

Support the guide

I've recently started studying at university (fall 2018). While that is awesome, finances do take a hit. Keeping this guide live takes some work and also server space, which costs money. I could start placing ads all over the place, but that's not something I would like to do. If you feel that you've had some use of this guide, please don't hesitate to contribute to keeping it alive. Thank you.

Updates

As Magisk evolves, so does this guide. It might pay to check in from time to time if you have issues. Especially after any major updates to Magisk.

TL;DR

If you are experiencing issues, please take a few minutes to browse through this guide. There's a lot of text and articles, yes, but a lot of the most common issues are covered by this guide. If you can't get Magisk to work on your device, chances are pretty good you'll find the answer here, or at least get you pointed in the right direction.
