Facing a 'splice error' when attempting to run 'su' on your Android device, particularly with Magisk installed, can be frustrating. This issue often arises while using custom ROMs like crDroid-Revived and might indicate a conflict within your device's configuration or Magisk modules. This article aims to guide you through troubleshooting this problem on your Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 11 (crDroid-Revived 7) with Magisk version b1dc47a0.
**Possible Causes:**
* **Magisk Module Conflicts:** Some Magisk modules might interfere with the 'su' binary or your root access.
* **Incompatible Kernel Modules:** Your kernels modules might not be compatible with the way Magisk handles root access.
* **System File Corruption:** System files essential for root access might be corrupted, leading to errors.
* **Magisk Installation Issues:** A flawed Magisk installation could result in improper root configuration.
**Troubleshooting Steps:**
1. **Identify Conflicting Modules:** Begin by meticulously reviewing your list of installed Magisk modules. Look for modules known to affect root access or system operations.
2. **Temporarily Disable Modules:** Experiment by disabling modules one by one and restarting your device. If 'su' functions correctly with a specific module disabled, you've likely identified the culprit.
3. **Check Kernel Module Compatibility:** Research whether the kernel modules on your device are compatible with Magisk. You can experiment by trying a different kernel that's known to work well with Magisk.
4. **Reinstall Magisk:** Cleanly uninstall Magisk and then reinstall it using the latest version. Ensure you follow proper installation instructions and flash the Magisk Manager app.
5. **Repair System Files:** If corruption is suspected, try repairing your system files using a tool like Magisk's built-in 'Repair' feature or a reputable Android repair tool. **Exercise caution with this step, as improper repairs might damage your device.**
**Analyzing Logs:**
* The attached `logcat.txt` and `magisk_log_2025-05-16T09.52.17.log` files can provide valuable insights into the error. Carefully analyze these logs for any specific error messages, stack traces, or unusual behavior that might shed light on the root cause.
**Additional Notes:**
* The details provided (crDroid-Revived 7, Magisk version b1dc47a0) are helpful for identifying potential issues specific to your setup. If you continue facing difficulties, sharing these logs with the crDroid-Revived or Magisk communities might lead to more tailored solutions.
* Always back up your device before attempting any troubleshooting steps involving system files or rooting.
