FORKING NOT REQUIRED

MagiskOnWSA (also includes Google Play Services)

Note: This repository is designed specifically not to be forked. This does not use the same mechanism as the original MagiskOnWSA. Don't fork this repository unless you're a developer and want to modify the code itself or want to download a specific configuration of WSA not already available in this repository.

Installation

Note: If you have the official WSA installed, you must completely uninstall it to use MagiskOnWSA

1. Go to the Releases page
2. In the latest release, go to the Assets section and download the WSA version of your choosing (do not download "Source code")
3. Extract the zip file
4. Delete the zip file
5. Move the newly extracted folder to a suitable location (Documents folder is a good choice), as you will need to keep the folder on your PC to use MagiskOnWSA

Note: If you're updating WSA, merge the folders and replace the files for all items when asked

6. Open the WSA folder and right-click Install.ps1, then select Run with PowerShell
7. Once the installation process completes, WSA will launch (if this is a first-time install, a window asking for consent to diagnositic information will be shown instead. Sometimes two identical windows will show, this is fine and nothing bad happens if you click OK in both windows)
8. Click on the PowerShell window, then press any key on the keyboard, the PowerShell window should close
9. Close File Explorer

Help

How do I get a logcat?

• adb logcat

or

• %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\diagnostics\logcat

How do I update Magisk?

• Wait for a new MagiskOnWSA release that includes the newer Magisk version, then follow the Installation instructions to update

Can I pass SafetyNet/Play Integrity?

• No. Virtual machines like WSA cannot pass these mechanisms on their own due to the lack of signing by Google. Passing requires more exotic (and untested) solutions: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/discussions/145#discussioncomment-2170917

What is virtualization?

• Virtualization is required to run virtual machines like WSA. Install.ps1 helps you enable it. After rebooting, re-run Install.ps1 to install WSA. If it's still not working, you have to enable virtualization in your BIOS/UEFI. Instructions vary by PC vendor, look for help online

Can I remount system partition as read-write?

• No. WSA is mounted as read-only by Hyper-V. You can, however, modify the system partition by creating a Magisk module, or by directly modifying the system.img file

How do I uninstall Magisk?

• Download a WSA version that doesn't include Magisk from the Releases page. Then follow the Installation instructions
