WILL NOT INSTALL FOR ME !

Clean install CFW 2.1.1
Copied update_patched_boot_Magisk_v18.0_Q10Pro_v2.1.1_[1.0].zip to USB renamed to update.zip and installed using local upgrade
Installed Magisk manager and it tells me Magisk is not installed, The only option it gives me to install is to patch boot image file

UPDATE:

Apparently the Magisk update.zip cannot be installed using the USB 3.0 port, Works fine on the 2.0 ports, All is well seems to have installed just fine now.

Thank you.

If you have installed Magisk I suggest you try YouTube Vanced works very well....

In Magisk Manager click on downloads and search for Youtube, Find youtube vanced, I am using the black themed version, Click on download and you will be prompted to install and reboot.


FEATURES:

    Block all ads (togglable)
    Background Playback
    Force VP9 (or HDR) or vice versa
    Override Maximal Resolution
    Pinch to Zoom (for all devices)
    Casting Togglable (can be forced off)
    Toggle Themes (Black, Dark, White)
    PiP - Picture in Picture mode (Oreo only)
    Auto Repeat Feature
    Preferred Speed and Resolution

Remember to uninstall YouTube updates and disable auto update option found in Play Store. If you don't do this, updated app will replace the Vanced app automatically and you will not see any new features.

Do you have a problem with both Youtube Vanced and youtube ATV when transferring from 1080 to 4k only the sound and the video is stopped?

I updated without any issues at all !

[maelor]

And what do I do with the Super SU app which is already on my box?

[kodiloaded]

If you are already rooted with SuperSU you should perform a Dirty upgrade of whatever firmware you are currently using before you install Magisk

So does HDR with YT really work this way?

What if I simply install YT Vanced Non-Root version, will I get HDR? (Tho' I don't really think so, but at least worth to ask...)

Is it only for FW 2.11, will it not work in 2.08?
