Systemless Root & SafetyNet working [GUIDE][Magisk][StockROM-6.0.1][SkyMelon][TWRP]
Hi XDA friends,
After quite investigation I finally have found the way to have our devices Systemless Rooted.
The main advantage? SafetyNet working on our rooted device. That means Google does not notice our device is rooted ...yes, you can play Nintendo games or use Android Pay as well!

Here is the step by step guide:
You Must Have: Unlocked bootloader, ADB Fastboot drivers and Flashtool installed.
- Flash Stock Android 6.0.1 ROM with Flashtool (Wipes checked). I recommend 26.3.A.1.33 for the E2303 model. You can find Stock ROMs in this post.
- Flash TWRP from ADB: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (I tried with v3.0.2.0 and also the new v3.2.1-0 recently published here!)
- Flash custom kernel (SkyMelon 8.1 or 9 without-root) from TWRP. Download v8.1 from this post or v9 directly here: View attachment 9-20171210-no-root.zip. Wipe Dalvik/Cache after install it.
- Flash the latest version of Magisk with TWRP. Wipe Dalvik/Cache after install it. GitHub repo: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
- Install the latest version of Magisk Manager.apk. GitHub repo: https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases
- [Optional] In order to avoid flashing errors with TWRP it is recommended to update directly through Magisk Manager. If you want to install previous versions of Magisk (between v14.6 and v15.2), could be neccesary to check the box "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" before "Direct Install" it.
Note: Magisk v16.4 and Magisk Manager v5.7.0 was the last version working tested by me. From this version I will discontinue testing new Magisk releases on this device. Feel free to post your experience with the new ones
- This method is compatible with E2303, E2306 (reported by @zputnyq) and E2333 (reported by @Yester_Ko) models.
- Compatibility with Apps2SD reported by @tim_pear
Please if this works for you, thanks are very welcome to my first post! Also ideas or improvements to the post are welcome.

thanks for sharing your experience , I have A question what about DRM fix , did restore you TA backup ?
Hi! Thanks for your guide. Can you share your safety net check screen on magisk? I try that kernel and some other kernels with different magisk versions, but I don't understand safety net checking status.
Hi othmane.os,
I cannot provide information about restoring the TA. My warranty expired some time ago and I don´t have a TA backup.
Thanks for comment.

I want to use your guide but I'm busy to do current configuration of my phone. I delete some files on my system partition for gaining storage (I copied some new versions of upgraded apps to system partition) This take my time but I haven't got enough.
I use skymelon 9 kernel, with supersu. I guess because of supersu changed system partition and safetynet fails. I dislike supersu app but skymelon 9 comes with it. So I built skymelon 9 myself without supersu, but I didn't flash stock rom before installing skymelon 9 without-root and magisk. Now on my phone Magisk15 and skymelon9(compiled by me) installed. Magisk's hide function hiding itself from google apps and choosen apps but safetynet check fails.
Can you or anybody try this guide with skymelon 9 without-root which built by me?

Hi osmank3,
I have tested the kernel that you built and it is working perfect. Thank you! This version has been added to the post and of course is menctioned your contribution.
I'm afraid you'll have to install a stock ROM...
BTW: I cannot get working Magisk v15. If I install it direclty from Magisk Manager the installation fails. If I install it through TWRP (and do wipes), the process is correct but when I check it, Magisk Manager not shows it as installed. So for the moment, it is only working for v14.5.

I'm using magisk manager to patch boot.img with v15. I flash patched_boot.img with TWRP. It is working.
When I update it from v14.5 /data/magisk link crashing. I delete /data/magisk and upgrade on magisk manager as recommended type and reboot system, it is starting to work.
Ups! I forget to say. Check AVB 2.0/dm-verity
It works
Thank you very much. Post updated!

Hey, i downloaded Magisk v14.5 and tried to flash it with twrp but i got error "invalid zip file format" What should i do now or what did i do wrong?
Yay i got this work but little bit different way.
1. Flashed stock rom with flashtool. I downloaded my stock rom from XperiFirm.
2. Flashed TWRP with this guide.
3. Flashed Skymelon 8.1 with TWRP and wiped Dalvik/Cache after install.
4. Flashed Magisk v14.0 with TWRP from this post and wiped Dalvik/Cache after install.
When that was done i rebooted and Magisk and Magick manager was installed. They aren't latest versions so i updated them.
1. Downloaded latest Magisk manager from here and installed it.
2. From Magisk manager i checked "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" and installed it with choosing the recommended option "Direct Install"
Everything seems to working fine and i did this to my E2303 with 26.3.A.1.33
Great! Thanks for sharing :good:
Which is the difference between methods? I see that it also works for you by flashing Magisk v14.0.

This was only thing i made differently. I didn't find right magisk there what would work when flashing because i had problem with "invalid zip file format" so i downloaded that magisk zip file from another place.
This worked fine for me but I directly tried flashing/installing latest version (15.1) from TWRP and later after booting via adb the .apk of the Manager.
Didn't show the Magisk as installed.
With making a backup in TWRP of the boot (just renaming it to .img it has a different extension in the name) and then modifying it (as Manager tells you when you want to install) I could make it work (flashing the modified boot image with fastboot).
(Other steps like flashing the stock ROM and the recovery worked as usual. Also no problems with installing the kernel in TWRP.)
If you try to flash directly the last Magisk version (v15.1 in this case) I don´t know why yet but it doesn´t work. For that reason it is neccesary to first flash Magisk v14.5 (last version working with TWRP).
The way that you do it is also a very good one! Thanks for sharing @lordmd.

After magisk 14.6+ there is a problem about dm-verity. Magisk can't patch it, so we must preserve the original dm-verity. When you are applying magisk 14.6+ from twrp, you can't preserve and magisk can't patch it. The true way is using magisk manager and patch with preserve dm-verity.
Magisk 15.2 version notes says that problem solved but I try it, it is not solved yet.
My first applying procedure is:
First, patch skymelon 9 boot.img file with new magisk version also with preserve dm-verity on Magisk Manager,
Flash recovery and open with twrp
Apply skymelon 9 wipe dalvik and cache
Apply new magisk
Flash patched img
Let´s see if the next v15.3 beta finally works. Thanks @osmank3
BTW: Did you finally install the stock ROM or could you unroot your CFW for installing Magisk?

It seems it is impossible to get root with magisk on latest Oreo stock. Maybe someone found solution?
I asked and I answer =)
To get the root it is required to
- install latest TWRP (current version twrp-3.2.1-0)
- reboot to TWRP
- install 16.2 or higher magisk, link for 16.2
- install f2fs bug workaround
- reboot system
- install magisk Manager
- enjoy your root =)

Try to follow this guide then: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-how-to-magisk-root-xposed-oreo-8-t3743273
But use latest magisk beta instead of suggested 15.3.
And keep in mind that it is possible to easily restore working state with magisk uninstaller.
Do you have any errors during magisk or workaround installation in twrp console?

Remove root?
Is it possible to remove root and the TWRP without hard reset? Does anyone already have the original recovery of Oreo?

There is magisk uninstaller provided in official thread.
To remove twrp you just need to flush original recovery via fastboot
Hello guys, can I have some advice on whether I should install this latest Oreo update on my moto z, how is the battery doing on this update? And overall experience?
@dolar4ik
i reflash the stock oreo ROM,then flash TWRP,flash magisk,flash f2fs bug workaround, stuck at bootloader logo,how can i do it??
Flash the Magisk uninstaller, reboot to recovery (you have this option in TWRP) and flash again only the Magisk 16.3 (without the f2fs bug workaround). This worked for me two days ago.
Today I updated to the latest Magisk 16.4 without any problems.

This is right.
I re-flashed my phone using the OPL27.76-51 firmware. Now, no way to install Magisk (old, new, any version).
The solution, I restored a TWRP backup made at the first bootloader unlock (when the ROM was updated only using OTAs, not flashed). Immediately I was able to install Magisk 16.4 - without any F2FS workaround.
HERE is my TWRP backup containing the partitions: Boot, Data & System. Hope it helps!

Uninstall magisk with it's own uninstaller.
I installed Magisk on the full Oreo release and everything is working.
I did make a "less bloat, less bs" zip version but I doubt it would make a change.
If you guys want, I can upload it when I get home.

Just got myself a hand me down Moto z.
My friend who gave it to me hasn't touch the phone for a year.
So i started with 6.0 and after multiple updates, now i am on Oreo.
Since i have done ota from Marshmallow, would this method work?
Bootloader was never unlocked.
thanks for any input
So the October patch just came out, but my phone's rooted (magisk, no twrp), so I can't install the update. If anyone could provide a guide on how to update and re-root the phone again, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

No need to unroot. If u can get the boot.img u can use magisk to root it and instal.
i use magisk tutorial for updating. and there is a magisk modul for reinstalling twrp. you have to use it before installing magisk on inactive slot.
i suggest you to wait a few days before updating. i update to October and install magisk and twrp but wifi and hotspot are broken. and twrp won't work correctly. not shore if it's because twrp or October ota
It was my fault that break wifi and hotspot. magisk tutorial should do the work. just backup before doing anything

From twrp thread
If you want you can also update a stock rom from phone settings with local upgrade:
- Update the Rom WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- Menu/modules/+ button/select the twrp installer.zip and flash it;
- Always in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.

Hi there,
i'm rooted and i installed the latest OTA (oxygen os 10.3.7.hd01AA - india rom maybe because i used a patched boot.img in the first time months ago) right now and just like all the times before i made the usual steps:
1) Restored Original Image via Magisk Manager
2) Downloaded and installed OTA
3) Didn't reboot and tried to Install Magisk to inactive slot
Unfortunately 3 didn't work. More than that - Magisk Manager doesn't even recognized Magisk was uninstalled. So there is no Installation option.
Tried to Uninstall it again (Restore Original Image) but that didn't change anything.
a) Was the 2nd "Restore Original Image" after installing the OTA a bad idea?
b) How can i install Magisk now?
I don't reboot the phone as i think it could be bricked after that.

Well the procedure is disable all magisk modules. Reboot. Take the update don't reboot when the updater says to. Go to magisk select patch to inactive slot let it do it's thing then reboot
for now make a new patched one based on your current is to obtain root like you did initially
Ex pull your current non root boot img patch it in magisk then flash in fastboot
If you need I can grab the India ROM from Updater and make you a patched boot image?
I've already done it for HD01AA EU and HD01BA
Hey, i could manage to install Magisk into inactive slot after updating Magisk manager to the latest version. I would try to reboot now?
If I would like to patch my current boot.img - how can I do so?

Hi, I've recently updated my device to Oxygen OS 13 C26, but unfortunately, after the update, I lost ROOT.
Do you know where I can download the OTA file for Oxygen OS 13 C26? I want to extract boot.img and patch it using magisk.
Is it possible to download it using Oxygen Updater? The app shows only that I have the newest version of the system.

Yes, it is indeed possible. First, you need to download your package and extract it to your computer. And then, my friend, you use fastboot enhanced, which can be found on github, and get the boot image from there.

@Dominius Curious, did you uninstall magisk before installing the update and install to inactive slot afterward?
I just got the update, still hesitate to install it.

On previous device I always did it in that way. I installed OTA, and before restart, I installed magisk to another slot. But with C26 OTA for 10T restart happened automatically immediately after clicking install, so I lost root.
@leezaal thanks, but I've menaged that I can enable advanced mode in oxygen updater and download already installed update.
