===**Starting fresh**===
If you've been trying a lot of things and can't get Magisk to work properly it can be a good idea to start fresh. Start by uninstalling Magisk, flashing a clean boot image and installing Magisk again. If that doesn't work you could try wiping your device and starting out completely clean.
===**Older versions of Magisk**===
It is possible that an older version of Magisk may work if the latest does not. {{color text="This is a last resort and should be considered unsupported" c="red"}}. If the latest version of Magisk doesn’t work, but an earlier version does, please help fixing the issue by reporting it with all the necessary details //(also see [[MagiskHelp | "Asking for help/reporting bugs"]])//.
Installation files for earlier releases of Magisk can be found on [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases | GitHub]]. If you need other versions, not available for download, the source code for these can be found in the same place, along with [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/README.MD | instructions on how to build Magisk]].
Please note that there’s no guarantee that an older version of Magisk will work with the current Magisk app. Compatible apk releases can be found on [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases | GitHub]].
===**Nothing works!**===
If nothing works and you just can't get Magisk to install/function properly on your device, the best thing you can do if Magisk isn't compatible with your device is to provide as much details as possible and upload logs (recovery log, Magisk log, logcat, whatever is applicable) and a copy of your boot image in the [[https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382 | XDA support thread]] or as an [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk | issue on GitHub]] //(also see [[MagiskHelp | "Asking for help/reporting bugs"]])//.
===**Canary releases**===
It's also possible that whatever problem you're facing has been fixed in code, but not yet released. For this you can use the the Canary bleeding edge build. It is a build by topjohnwu that is based on the latest (working) commits from [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk | GitHub]]. Keep in mind that it is a bleeding edge build and may be quite unstable. //Only install of you know what you're doing!// The Canary Magisk app is available on [[https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk | GitHub]].
