APatch Error: Shamiko requires Magisk Canary > 27005 [Fixed]

In this guide, we will show you various methods to fix the APatch Error: Shamiko requires Magisk Canary > 27005. Recently, I was trying to pass the Strong Integrity [of course, using an unrevoked keybox XML file] after rooting my device APatch. Up until now, I had done this task while being rooted via Magisk, and everything was up and running.

So I knew I just had to flash the same set of modules [with Zygisk Next being an additional one as APatch doesn’t have built-in Zygisk, as opposed to Magisk] and place the keybox file at the data/adb/trickystore directory. But I was taken aback when I tried to flash Shamiko in APatch as it gave out a weird error: Shamiko requires Magisk Canary > 27005.

So what was weird about this? Well, how Magisk came into this picture is something that I didn’t understand. So I did some investigation and found out answers to all my questions and some possible workarounds that might help you address this issue. So without further ado, let’s check them out.’

Reason for APatch Error: Shamiko requires Magisk Canary > 27005

The reason why you are getting the aforementioned error is that APatch does not officially support Shamiko. According to the developer s, “We cannot support Shamiko due to its proprietary. Any issues caused by using Shamiko will not be supported by APatch developers. Use at your own risk.”Moreover, on APatch’s official GitHub page, here’s what one collaborator had to say : “It’s none of APatch’s business since Shamiko developers had refused to adapt for APatch and they were trying their best to prevent APatch users from using it”.

Adding on, here’s what XDA Developer tomyan112 has to say: “The bottom line is that Shamiko would either need to directly add support for APatch, or communicate with the APatch devs what is needed for APatch to support it. Neither of those scenarios is likely, so it’s better to just not use Shamiko . ”

APatch Official Statement on Shamiko

While that is understandable, but where does Magisk come into all of this? Well, the only prerequisite that you need to checkmark before flashing APatch is that your device should be running Magisk Canary version 27005 or higher. So, Shamiko has prepared a generic error message and will simply display it in terms of failure to install it, irrespective of the underlying reason, which in this case is APatch. So with this, you are now aware of the reasoning of this error, let’s now make you aware of a couple of handy methods to fix it.

Fix APatch Error: Shamiko requires Magisk Canary > 27005

It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds and then see which one spells out success. So with that in mind, let’s get started. Moreover, before starting, please take a complete device backup. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device, and data by performing the below steps.

FIX 1: Use Zygisk Assistant and ReZygisk

Well, one of the most common reasons why users prefer to use Shamiko is to pass the Play Integrity. Well, it turns out that you can use the likes of Zygisk Assistant and ReZygisk , and it will also help you get this job done [here’s my detailed guide and the video on the same].

FIX 2: Use an Old Shamiko Build

Well, this is one intriguing fix: you can simply download and install an older version of Shamiko via APatch without any issues whatsoever [I used version 0.5.0]. While theoretically the module will be up and running, however, you might come across a few problems because older builds usually tend to have a few compatibility issues. So it will get the job done but might not prove to be of much use.

FIX 3: Using Magisk!

One user found a nifty workaround [that involved the use of Magisk], through which he was able to install Shamiko in APatch. Here’s what he did:

1. To begin with, root your device using Magisk .
2. Then flash the Zygisk Next and Shamiko modules.
3. Now install Apatch and patch the stock boot.img file using it.
4. Flash that file in the Fastboot Mode using the below commands: adb reboot bootloader //boot your device to Fastboot Mode fastboot flash boot apatch_boot.img //flash APatch boot.img fastboot reboot // Reboot to the OS
5. Then, go to the Modules section in Apatch, and you can now enable Shamiko.

Fix 4: Mask Shamiko as KernelSU!

If you use the shamiko_helper kpm (which can be found in the APatch TG Group files), along with a specific version of Zygisk Next (1.0.2 ONLY), then it is possible to “trick” Shamiko into detecting APatch as KernelSU, and 1.0.x versions of Shamiko can be used (versions 1.1+ have a different compression method and will not install in APatch)”. So you can try out this tweak and see if it works for you.
