Additions:
~- //**The device only boots to bootloader/recovery**// - After the reboot, grab the kmsg file.
~- //**kmsg/last_kmsg**// If experiencing random reboots or booting to bootloader/recovery, the kmsg files, found in /proc, might show what's going on.

Additions:
~- //**Other apps/my system are/is misbehaving/crashes**// - A logcat showing the issue will be necessary.

Revision [628]

Edited on 2019-05-30 04:28:53 by didgeridoohan
Additions:
~- //**The device doesn't boot/bootloops**// - A logcat during boot (either through ADB or a boot script) is the only thing that really could show what's going on. A Magisk log might be good for complementary information.

Additions:
~- **//Logs!//** A bug report or a report about some kind of issue that is not accompanied by logs will likely be ignored. __Always provide logs!__ And when providing logs, do **NOT** paste them into your post. Attach as a file or upload the file somewhere and provide the link. If you can't provide logs for some reason, at least try to give detailed instructions on how to reliably reproduce the issue.
==**But what if I can't get logs?**==
Most of the time you can get some kind of log showing what is going on. Keep reading below to see what tools you have at your disposal.
But, if you really cannot get hold of any logs at least try to give as detailed instructions as possible on how to reliably reproduce the issue.

Edited on 2019-05-17 16:58:16 by didgeridoohan
Additions:
Certain issues require different kinds of logs. Here's a list of examples (see further down for details on how to acquire the logs in question):
~- //**Installation of Magisk or modules fail**// - If installing from recovery, you'll need the //recovery log// and if installing from the Manager you need to save the installation log.
~- //**Magisk/modules/MagiskHide isn't working as it should**// - The Magisk log should as a rule always be included whenever there are issues with Magisk core features. Some modules provide their own logging for if there are issues (see the specific modules thread/documentation).
~- //**The Magisk Manager crashes**// - A logcat when the crash occurs will be necessary.
~- //**The device doesn't boot/bootloops**// - The Magisk log and a logcat during boot (either through ADB or a boot script) might show what's going on.
~- //**The device randomly reboots**// - After the reboot, grab the console-ramoops.
~- //**Etc...**//

Deletions:
If you're here because MagiskHide, ""SafetyNet"", Google Pay, etc, isn't working. This is why... Android logging need to be enabled for MagiskHide to work //(also see [[MagiskHideBasics | "Requirements"]])//.

Additions:
~- //**Recovery log**// from installation (in TWRP, go to Advanced - Copy log). If you experience errors when installing Magisk or modules through recovery. **Note that this log HAS to be saved right after you've done whatever you're trying to save a log of. If you reboot inbetween there is a good chance that the info will be lost.** The log might still be found in /cache/recovery after rebooting, but any subsequent reboots to recovery will overwrite the relevant information.

Additions:
~- //**Logcat boot script**//. This is useful if your device won't boot for some reason, or if you're experiencing other boot related issues. The script might even work when ADB logcat doesn't (since ADB won't work until later in the boot process). Place a file (doesn't matter what you name it) in /data/adb/post-fs-data.d, give it execution permission and put this in it (thank you @jenslody and @jcmm11).

Also immensely useful if the Manager is crashing or having other issues. **If you can't get root access** it's easiest to hook up your device to a computer and use ADB. If your device isn't booting, it might be possible to grab a logcat during boot with ADB.
