Magisk: Flashing issues in KitKat

[HemanthJabalpuri]

Sir topjohnwu ...
My device is running on KitKat StockROM Samsung
Many seg faults and ERROR:1 in TWRP
I posted the logs in xda thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382/post78837438....

also 272 line of util_functions need to be changed to
elif [ -e app_process32 ]; then
instead of
else
because app_process is hardlinked independent binary in KitKat... no app_process32/64 is there..
so force symlinking will cause bootloop...

Feature Request: We can only patch a boot.img without root.. Can you please add an option to patch boot.img option even after rooting....! This will help to patch others boot.img in a single device

[topjohnwu]

Thanks for the report!

You can still patch boot images after rooted though :)

Sir some another things i noticed in kitkat with MagiskManager are
-Unable to download Magisk.zip or MagiskManager
-Unable to load Online modules list in Downloads section

Executing magiskboot and magiskinit binaries in TWRP gives segmentation fault...

its seems lots of bugs for the lower version of android. renaming magisk disk is also bug which failed you to download and install it. and also failed to detect root permission even you installed the magisk successfully without any problem.
