Where Are Magisk Modules Stored?

Magisk /data/adb/modules directory with per-module files and disable flags.

Last updated

Magisk keeps modules in /data/adb with one folder per module holding its files, props and scripts. A disable file or removing the folder turns a module off, which rescues most bootloops.

Systemless design means the system partition stays untouched. Back up the modules directory before updates so a bad flash restores in recovery.

Where Android stores this, by platform

Android
/data/adb/modules

One subfolder per installed module with its system overlays and scripts. Drop a disable file inside a module folder to switch it off without deleting, the standard bootloop rescue. Reading it needs root or custom recovery access. Magisk app data and logs sit nearby under /data/adb.

Frequently asked questions

Phone bootloops after a Magisk module. What now?

Boot to recovery or safe mode and add a disable file in the module's folder above, or delete the folder. The system boots clean without it.

How do I back up Magisk modules?

Copy the modules folder above with root access. Restore it after reflashes to skip reinstalling every module.
