You should add this only works if your device has ramdisk, otherwise you will brick the device. There is no universal way to flash Magisk, not in LineageOS, not in any rom. It depends on the device.
@@dianf2p552 for those wondering this, I advise you read the full guide. But to answer your question, that can be checked by installing the apk onto your device normally, and if it says yes on ramdisk then that is probably it. Good luck rooting, it is very fun! :)
Finally, a very clear and perfect explanation on how to root a custom ROM with Magisk. What a job it was to find out how to root a phone. I just rooted my Galaxy S7 Edge on Lineage OS 21 (and more devices to come) thanks to your video. I've subscribed to your channel!
Just worked on Lineageos 21! Thank you so much, took me ages to find a decent guide to do this on Lineageos!! The Magisk app gave me one more step add then to do another repoot but all worked perfectly!
Gotta tell ya, I'm always excited to see that YOU'VE made a video for the exact solution I'm looking for! Decided to fart around with LineageOS to see what it's like, and I wasn't precisely sure of the rooting procedure. THANKS!👍
wow, that really means a lot! thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment here on the channel. I'm honored to be able to create helpful content like this for the Android community
Excellent video, thank you! I was struggling a lot to install Magisk on a stock Samsung s10e, but since that does not have a ramdisk, the struggle was humongous (and I did not manage to root it with Magisk anyway). So I decided to just go and install the LineageOS on the phone, not even thinking about root any more but it ended up being so easy and straightforward, thanks to your video.

Hi mate, im in the situation where i did install lineage Os 20 on a S10e and im happy with it unless bank app does not pass safety test and tells me they know im using an non official rom. Is installing Magisk the reason you did it also ? Is there any other reason of installing magisk ? cheers
thanks for all this man these videos have helped me flash my 1st rom on my pixel 6a andd now root it. the last time i was into rooting phones was during the Nexus 4 days. but these videos and XDA are giving me my android mojo back after all these yrs on ios 🙂😅
congrats! I actually wrote for the XDA portal for few years back in its prime :) The nexus 4 was actually my first Android phone, ever, and I fell in love with the custom ROM world shortly after :) welcome back and let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions. a lot has changed since then (most people don't use TWRP anymore, for example)
The only thing that helped me to install Magisk in LineageOS, thanks. Guys don't use TWRP for installing things if you use LineageOS, it causes infinite boot screen and you will need to reinstall it.
Thanks a lot mate. You're very clear and easy to follow. I like to have a clear verification I'm doing the right thing. It's not that I haven't done this tens of times already but fixing things like boot-loops is so time consuming and nerve-wrecking that I gladly take some time to find someone like you who methodically lays out the steps so I'm not totally dependent on my own scatterbrain.

Dude, THANK YOU! I thought the installation instructions on Magisk's webside was a bit lacking, and this made it very easy and clear how to do the installation successfully on a Lineage OS device. In my case, I'm running Lineage OS 20 on a Motorola One 5G Ace I bought cheap from eBay to experiment with, and my goal is to use what I learn on the test phone to eventually install Lineage and Magisk on my daily driver to have it do and run what I want without griping about the bootloader being unlocked, and do it the first time correctly so I don't brick it. The Motorola also has a ramdisk so this matched up nearly perfectly aside from that I had already installed the app on the phone, and after the first reboot it said it needed to complete an additional installation step, I chose "Direct Installation (recommended)", and after a second reboot everything is up and running like it should be. Like someone else commented, in my case mine had the ramdisk, and each situation is going to be different so proceed carefully.

Excellent video. You went through the steps concisely. It gave me the confidence that you knew what you were talking about and that I would be able to replicate the same results if I followed the steps you explained to the "T". Now my question is: The other custom recoveries (e.g. TWRP & CWM) all allow you to flash a zip file stored on the internal or SDcard. Can Lineage recovery do that or do I have to sideload weekly OTAs?
I appreciate the kind words. i transitioned to buying each phone I do tutorials for, and doing videos for them, for that very reason. so you can see all of the steps involved, know that it works, and give you confidence that you can do it too if you're using Lineage Recovery (like in the video) then you can only adb sideload ZIP files. but LineageOS itself has a built-in updater that will download the weekly OTA update, let you tap the 'install' button, and then reboot to install/finish installing the update (so you don't have to sideload the weekly ota updates) I could do a video about installing the OTA updates if you think it would be helpful. there isn't much to it, so it may be best to do is as a 'short'
@@ExplainingAndroid Awesome. If I use the built-in OTA updater in settings, would root be retained each time or I'd have to install Magisk again when I update with nightly builds?
@@marlonapowellful sadly no. when you use the built-in updater, it's essentially installing the firmware on top of what you currently have. so after using the updater, you would need to boot into Lineage Recovery and sideload the Magisk apk file (just like I show you in this video) but there may be some magisk modules that help magisk survive the OTA install process. I don't use them but I think I have seen them before. I'll look into the multiple ways you can have magisk survive ota updates like this and see about doing a video about the process.
@@ExplainingAndroid such video would be greatly appreciated. I would need to have Magisk installed to help with safetynet stuff because Lineage OS is now my go to custom ROM and I also have banking apps installed.
@@ExplainingAndroid I've just installed LineageOS with the Lineage recovery using the zip file stored in my MicroSD card. You mentioned that it's not possible, has this changed in the recent updates?
I followed everything right and Magisk got installed and Root Checker verified the root, but when I open Magisk it says "Requires Additional Setup, Your device needs reflash Magisk to work properly. Please reinstall Magisk within app, recovery mode cannot get correct device info." What do I do with that?

Great video sir. I always follow your videos because I never bricked my phone by following your videos. I tried to install twrp recovery from other sources and got my phone bricked. Could you please make a successor video to this which shows how we can replace lineage os recovery with twrp recovery?

After installing magisk with this method, the phone is rooted. Is there a way (perhaps within the magisk module / app) to switch to an unrooted state? Some android apps notice that the phone / system is rooted and don't run coorectly or they refused to install with the notice, that the phone is rooted!
Please help, I have tried almost everything. I’m on lineageos 20 20230313 galaxy note 2 but keep saying installed: N/A Ramdisk: Yes Superuser and modules are greyed out

yes, that is normal. since LineageOS installs the new update on top of your current install, root is replaced. you'll just want to boot into recovery mode and adb sideload the Magisk apk file (as shown in the video) each time you install a new LOS update
Hello dear, I would like to know if on Lineage OS those WPS WiFi apps that connect to the WiFi network by testing PIN, show the password without needing root?

I haven't rooted or used an alternate rom on any phone newer phone than the oneplus 5t. And i don't think that phone fully suported trebble or a/b partitions. I used to boot into twrp, clear system, both caches and then install lineageos, gapps and then magisk. I recently got a moto g42 to fiddle around with, and just installed lineage and gapps following their wiki page. It definitely has a/b partitions. I jave a few questions about the interactions if i install magisk. First of all, if i use the system updater inside the os, i think i understood that gapps will survive. Is that correct? If i flash that apk (for the first time), will it automatically know what partition to install itself on? I'm asking because i read an article some time ago that it depends. Separately from that, if magisk does not survive after a lineage update, can its modules survive and be re-enabled after i reflash magisk? Like i said, i used to manually update the main 3 zips, but i am a little wary of that because the lineage wiki had me flasg two other partitions before i flashed the lineage recovery, and also another zip to copy partitions, probably ro make sure no older files remain before flashing lineage for the first time. Thank you for any guidance you can provide, even if it is a link to a page.
hello sir i have an oukitel wp28 and i want to install magisk from stock os recovery,will it work or have a problem bootloop loop etc?will i lose my files or delete my files?
¡Hi! I installed Magisk Successfully on my device, but i have one question, what happens with the OTA updates from the Lineage OS team? Can i install the updates with the embedded instalator and after that, reinstall magisk or i need to flash every update weekly? Thanks!
you can skip an update if you would like (they don't have to be installed in order). and the process to update (and root again) looks like this - th-cam.com/video/7hgYMVlcbR0/w-d-xo.html
first of all, thank you so much for explaining, i have 2 questions actualy, Can i install OTA LineageOS Update with device already rooted or sould i Unroot the device before applying rom update ? second question, in LineageOS 20 i have un issue using google wallet app. is Magisk can fix the issue ??? thanks again
this is how I update LOS while rooted (and regaining root) - th-cam.com/video/7hgYMVlcbR0/w-d-xo.html what happens when you try to use the google wallet app?
@@ExplainingAndroid hey, thank you for relaying quickly, in fact google wallet says that my device is not a trusted one, so i rooted my Xiaomi mi 10T with magisk and installed a magisk module called SafetyNet Fix - (properly installed) checked with YASNAC (SafetyNet Attestation Checker). and it shows PASS but i still get the same error in google wallet while adding my credit cards...
on the majority of them, yes. the only ones I know it won't work on is the Samsung phones because they don't use Lineage Recovery IIRC. instead, they use Odin/Heimdall and Download Mode.
you need to install a set of tools called ADB & Fastboot. this consists of files that are stored in a folder. so you need to execute those commands in the same folder as those files
@@3JP awesome! let me know if you have any other questions :) If you're able to, please consider becoming a TH-cam channel member here - www.youtube.com/@ExplainingAndroid/join
I'm not the OP, but you can get privacy, better performance by disabling system/app spyware and bloatware, bypass communist country restrictions etc. Banks will probably know its rooted, you need to hide it. Magisk has a default hide but doesnt always work.
and then it takes less than 10 seconds to root the phone again. . . why give up all of the things I can't use without root, just because of 10 extra seconds a week?

calyx and graphene seem to be for Google Pixel phones mainly. you'd need to check the Galaxy A32 XDA forum to see if there's a build of LineageOS available for it
correct. since LOS installs the new update on top of what you currently have installed, Magisk will always need to be reinstalled after an OTA update. I do this every week I think there may be a working Magisk module that attempts to keep Magisk installed after an OTA update, but I haven't used it so I can't say for sure. let me know if you think that would be a good topic for a video here on the channel

hello sir i have an oukitel wp28 and i want to install magisk from stock os recovery,will it work or have a problem bootloop loop etc?will i lose my files or delete my files?
Doesn't work on samsung galaxy note 10 plus, I can't open the folder in sideload mode so I can't open the cmd on the page to load the file
Does this help with Google RCS being blocked for rooted devices in Messages?
¡Hi! I installed Magisk Successfully on my device, but i have one question, what happens with the OTA updates from the Lineage OS team? Can i install the updates with the embedded instalator and after that, reinstall magisk or i need to flash every update weekly? Thanks!
you can skip an update if you would like (they don't have to be installed in order). and the process to update (and root again) looks like this - th-cam.com/video/7hgYMVlcbR0/w-d-xo.html
2:12 if they're the same, why have them all s an individual selection?
Thanks for the demonstration!
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!
You're very welcome :) I'm happy to see you got your custom ROM rooted!
and could you please tell if possible to reinstall twrp again instead of lineage recovery the same way you flashed magisk apk using adb sideload
i alread have twrp, can i just instal magisk with twrp and have root phone???
first of all, thank you so much for explaining, i have 2 questions actualy, Can i install OTA LineageOS Update with device already rooted or sould i Unroot the device before applying rom update ? second question, in LineageOS 20 i have un issue using google wallet app. is Magisk can fix the issue ??? thanks again
this is how I update LOS while rooted (and regaining root) - th-cam.com/video/7hgYMVlcbR0/w-d-xo.html
what happens when you try to use the google wallet app?
@@ExplainingAndroid hey, thank you for relaying quickly, in fact google wallet says that my device is not a trusted one, so i rooted my Xiaomi mi 10T with magisk and installed a magisk module called SafetyNet Fix - (properly installed) checked with YASNAC (SafetyNet Attestation Checker). and it shows PASS but i still get the same error in google wallet while adding my credit cards...
Quick question: How do you get the google bar to be subdued (black)?
Banking Apps don't work in Rooted phone. How to make them work?
my phone cannot boot after instaled additional condition, do you have an idea how to fix it?
any reason you chose to sideload instead of just installing the apk ?
Because to root a phone you have to sideload magisk like this
You made this so easy. Why is the android ecosystem so poorly documented?
I honestly don't know. It needs a lot of work but I hope I'm helping :)

Can i flash directly from Lineage OS recovery the apk (Zip)??
Can I flash the file from internal storage or must I use a computer?
I have redmi note 9 pro max with lineage os 20 will it work please reply
Hi, what will happen when I install lineageos updates?
How do you install to a one plus 7t, as adb will not push to the phone
this works for every phone who supports LineageOS?
on the majority of them, yes. the only ones I know it won't work on is the Samsung phones because they don't use Lineage Recovery IIRC. instead, they use Odin/Heimdall and Download Mode.
So how do you root the phone on a Samsung?
What are the steps I neee to follow after an ota
Sorry, I'm new to this. Where and what is that (the same folder as your ADB and Fastboot tools).
you need to install a set of tools called ADB & Fastboot. this consists of files that are stored in a folder. so you need to execute those commands in the same folder as those files
@@ExplainingAndroid Yeah, I get it now, I downloaded (SDK Platform Tools) 👍
@@3JP awesome! let me know if you have any other questions :)

OMG! this worked on my liniage os 18.1 using abd sideload using twlp! (samsung galaxy tab a6 10.1" btw)
Is there a particular reason for you wanting 'root access' and how does it affect the use of, say, banking (and other) apps?
I'm not the OP, but you can get privacy, better performance by disabling system/app spyware and bloatware, bypass communist country restrictions etc. Banks will probably know its rooted, you need to hide it. Magisk has a default hide but doesnt always work.
Why bother rooting it because every few week it get update and the update will wipe out the magisk.
and then it takes less than 10 seconds to root the phone again. . .
why give up all of the things I can't use without root, just because of 10 extra seconds a week?
@@ExplainingAndroidThanks! very helpful. Can lt be updated to a newer version via fastboot and then rooted without rebooting?
Thanks! Very helpful
how about the safetynet fix?
Nice,its helpful
crystal clear brother
Exelent video like alway thank you so much
thanks for that, Carlos. That's very kind of you to say :)

Can i install calyx ,graphene or lineage on to my samsungA32?
calyx and graphene seem to be for Google Pixel phones mainly. you'd need to check the Galaxy A32 XDA forum to see if there's a build of LineageOS available for it
Is this safe to do ? Any risk of bricking etc ?
since we're just flashing something within LOS recovery in this video, I don't see magisk as a cause for it to brick your phone/tablet
I did EVERYTHING right but at the end when i open up magisk i dont get the popup for additional setup
Root checker says the phone is rooted but magisk doesnt get the full setup? Please help me
rebooting myself fixed the issue so yall know
I had to change the apk file to zip or it wouldn't work
beautiful video. tnx
Worked great but when i updated lineageos with the updater, i had to reinstall magisk
correct. since LOS installs the new update on top of what you currently have installed, Magisk will always need to be reinstalled after an OTA update. I do this every week
I think there may be a working Magisk module that attempts to keep Magisk installed after an OTA update, but I haven't used it so I can't say for sure. let me know if you think that would be a good topic for a video here on the channel
@@ExplainingAndroid would love name of that magisk module, lessss get it
will this work with lineage 21
yes, the process should be indentical
@@ExplainingAndroid tired it wouldn't push to the phone unfortunately maybe some other methods of root will be natively supported with lineage 21
Thank you!
you're a lifesaver man
Great video
your English is perfect
Thanks a lot
you're most welcome

All you had to do was say "sideload via recovery" and save us 11 minutes of listening to you drone on with your drawl...
I didn't know, that it is so easy to install magisk 😮
So McDonald's App will finally work with this trick ?
I haven't tested that specific one. maybe someone else can shed some light on it (I need to reinstall LOS soon)
Good for me though not good at english
I hope the video was of help :)
Hero
I no joke hard bricked my phone by booting in recovery xD
after reboot i will lost the root
no, you keep root after a reboot. which phone do you have?
I bought a degoogled Samsung galaxy s10+ with lineage is but it wasn't rooted. I need to turn up the volume on my phone call speakers and I think I need to root. Can I root now or will I have an issue?
