The new version is out now. Recognized XDA Developer topjohnwu has announced Magisk 16.7 Beta with Logcat fix and Obsolete Android Support Incoming. The Magisk Manager updated to version 5.8.3. You can download the full ZIP package from this post and install it right away on your device to root. Instruction to install is given below with all necessary download links. A couple of weeks back, we posted Magisk 16.6 Beta for our reader, and now it’s time to upgrade with yet another iteration from the developer. This time, the focus point of the update is addressing an issue with the logcat mechanism, especially for Chinese based EMUI ROMs.
In addition to that, Magisk 16.7 also initiates legacy support, which means, soon you will be able to install Magisk on the older version of Android like Lollipop, Kitkat, and even older.
Magisk is the most dominating root solution for the last two years, thanks to its systemless approach, reliability and extended compatibility. Moreover, the developer team is continuously releasing newer builds with several bug fixes.
Magisk 16.7 Beta – Changelog
- Fix boot image patching errors on Android P (workaround the strengthened seccomp)
- Support hardlink based ns proc mnt (old kernel support)
- Fix permission of /dev/null after logcat commands, fix ADB on EMUI
- Log fatal errors only on debug builds
- Detect early mount partname from fstab in device tree
Why Magisk?
As we mentioned earlier that the main point which makes Magisk unique is the Systemless root approach. In other words, if you install Magisk, the system partition won’t get modified. This has some benefits like your device can pass a lot of security checks. Also, rooting via Magisk won’t break OTA from the manufacturer. You can get Official Updates via OTA on your phone even after rooting.
