Magisk v9: A Universal Systemless Interface

In this page you will find direct download links to all package of Magisk v9 installer, uninstaller, Magisk manager app, as well as phh’s Superuser – the most useful root package for Magisk! Released by a cool developer called “topjohwu,” Magisk is basically a systemless interface to enable developers (and geek Android users) to build custom Mods for Android devices without actually altering the system files. Shortly, while rooting and installing custom Mods on an Android device have a risk to make OTA update to not working properly, Magisk v9 will completely change the game.

The app is developed due to the fact that Android OS is getting more and more secured with each new release. Hence, finding new path to gain root access is also getting harder.

How does it work? Systemless root on an Android device allows SELinux to run securely under enforcing mode. In other words, systemless root does not make any odification to the system files which therefore it allows installation of OTA updates without problems. Sounds cool already? On top of that, this tweak also make Android Pay, Pokemon Go, and Xposed Framework over rooted device possible since Magisk can bypass the SafetyNet API software validation. That what a cool thing is.
