In this guide we will be talking about Magisk v24.0. The Magisk application was developed and introduced by XDA developer topjohnwu as a way for systemless root for Android devices. Over the years, many new features have been added to the Magisk application that have made this a very important tool for Android devices.
But it still has retained it’s value as a systemless root tool and still is one of the best ways to root your Android device and gain administrative access. The latest update for Magisk which introduces the 24th version of Magisk (v24) is now out at the public beta branch which brings with itself proper support for Android 12 and compatibility for a lot of devices.
The new update was announced recently by the developer on Twitter. Even though the addition of Android 12 support is a big jump, another significant update is the introduction of Zygisk, that in simple words, is Magisk in Zygote. This new feature opens a lot of modding and tinkering possibilities that previously were not easy to perform.
These are now possible as developers can now directly input code into every Android apps’ process. To make the process smoother, the developer topjohnwu has also released the final version of Zygisk API v2.
Now this new version means that MagiskHide will be discontinued, which already had happened on the canary channel. But it is worth noting that Magisk v24.0 does not come with root hiding ability. But these can be easily done by installing modules that can easily bypass root detection and bypass safety net check.
It is also worth mentioning that the centralized Magisk module repository is now gone for good. This means that users of Magisk v24.0 will not be able to download modules from the repository. From now onwards, the Magisk application will only look if theupdateJsonproperty is present inside a module and will accordingly download or install updates from the corresponding URL.
