Magisk v16.6 adds support for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Project Treble GSIs
Magisk v16.6 Beta brings better support for Project Treble GSIs and the Samsung Galaxy S9. It also finally fixes the "root loss" issue.
If you've ever looked into rooting your Android device, chances are you've heard of Magisk at some point. It's a systemless root, open source solution that's best known for its ability to pass SafetyNet—allowing you to use apps like Google Pay and Pokemon Go while rooted. It is developed by XDA Recognised Developer topjohnwu who has recently finished up his mandatory military training in Taiwan. During that time, we still saw a few updates which improved MagiskHide and added Android P support and bypassed "certified devices" issues, but now we're getting something even better. Magisk v16.6 (Beta) is now more compatible with Project Treble Generic System Images (GSIs) and the Samsung Galaxy S9, and the mysterious "root loss" issue has been fixed.
Google’s SafetyNet has been a huge thorn in the side of anyone who wants to use Android Pay while having full control over their phones. Until recently, it has mostly been about disabling Android Pay on devices with Root, but a couple days ago, Google took it one step further -- they are triggering SafetyNet even on devices with unlocked bootloaders.
