Root Guide using Magisk - Step By Step Instructions - Nov 7

It would be nice to have step by step instructions for rooting.
Here's what I have thus far. The final root steps are not complete:
I. Enable Developer Options:
1. Go to your device Settings.​2. Select “About phone” » tap seven times on “Build number”.​3. This will enable Developer options under Settings.​4. Go back to Settings » scroll down to Developer options​5. Enable OEM Unlock: Open “Developer options” menu » enable OEM Unlock​6. Enable USB Debugging: Open “Developer options” » scroll down to Debugging menu, enable “USB Debugging”​
II. Unlock Bootloader - This will wipe your Pixel
1. Install ADB Installer 1.4.3 - http://downloadmirror.co/29Xn/adb-setup-1.4.3.exe​2. Connect your Pixel device to the PC with a USB cable.​3. Open a command window on your PC.​4. Boot your Pixel device into bootloader mode using the following command:​adb reboot bootloader​[NOTE: You may get a request to authorize USB debugging on the device, accept it.]​5. Once your dveice is in bootloader mode, issue the following command to unlock bootloader:​fastboot flashing unlock​6. You’ll get a confirmation screen on your Pixel device. Press Volume Up button to highlight Yes and press Power button to select it.​7. You need to boot into system now, either press Power button to reboot OR issue the following command:​fastboot reboot​8. During reboot, your Pixel device will go through a factory reset and then finally boot into system.​
[MISSING STEPS FROM THIS POINT ON]
III. ROOT
1. Download factory image for your model: https://developers.google.com/android/images​- INSERT DESCRIPTION OF EACH - AT&T, Verizon, etc​2. Extract the ZIP file​3. Open the folder, locate the 2nd zip file, and extract it as well​4.- Inside that folder, locate: boot.img and copy it to your Pixel 2​
5. Download 2 Magisk files​Magisk Manager 5.4.1 APK- https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4324973&d=1509987367​Magisk 14.4 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4324974&d=1509987379​
6. Download a File Manager app from the Play Store, then find and install the Magisk APK???​
7. Use Magisk to patch the boot.img file, which will then be found in /storage/emulated/0/MagiskManager/​
Next steps??​8. From command line to the ADB folder:​adb reboot bootloader​fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img​Press power button to reboot​

Wouldn't you have to copy patched_boot.img to your PC before you can fastboot flash it?

Yes, then recopy the APK back after the wipe.

Worked great. No issues. Nice work.

Bootloop?
So I get to the last step and flashed the patched_boot.img. The phone reboots, and I seem to be stuck at a perpetual "G" and progress bar. Looks like a boot loop. I waited 5 minutes hoping it would proceed with boot. I then tried to flash the stock boot.img. Still same apparent boot loop. I had to flash the stock restore image to get going again. Am I being impatient? Should it immediately boot up?

once magisk creates patched_boot.img ... do I need to copy this file and place it inside the ADB folder on the computer? if so, which folder do I drop this file in?

I placed mine in the folder with my platform tools. With adb and fastboot.

Platform tools folder. Then open a CMD prompt while you are inside that folder and put your phone in bootloader mode. Then fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

The Magisk post in the section for ROMs , Kernels and other Development has full instructions on how to root with Magisk. It worked for me.
There's also another post in here where someone goes through steps to root, add a kernel, and get V4A running (to mixed success as normal), and although he uses steps different than the first post I referenced, it's working for him.

Magisk isn't producing out a boot.img
I'm using version 5.4.3
Once I select the boot.img. it just goes back to the magisk home screen and says "downloading magisk v14.zip"

Sadly goes into a bootloop for me - no idea why though

This worked for me. I had magisk installed and took the pie update. No more root. D/l the factory image and extracted the boot image to the files folder...pissmeoff they changed the name of the icon... and magisk patched the image and saved it in its folder. Found the file, moved it to the laptop then flashed it.

I think you made a mistake.

I always did that method pre Pie and it always worked but now I end up in a bootloop and I did everything according to guide

I think you use my file(boot.img) for patch_boot.img from magisk manager.
I think you must check your build number devices.
You must use file boot.img from your factory image for root.

9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.011, Aug 2018, Telstra) >?

hey mate thanks for the input, I got a normal non testra (whatever that is) taimen - tried your boot.img and before that I tried the one from the factory image, both result in a boot loop.
I went through all stages of the Android p beta and in the end, to try solve this, I also non wipe flashed the factory image all to get the same result
could you sent me a drive Link to the patched version of yours or something?

I receive also a bootloop and I didnt make any mistake. I also used this method pre Pie, I read that alot of users have problems with rooting Pie atm, even with TWRP

You use adb last version for flash patch_boot.img ?
I think you should flash factory image new again and factory reset your devices.
You are use stock kernel or other kernel on your devices.

I downloaded all the latest adb and fastboot. Never touched kernel or did custom recovery, always used the magisk method since i am on a pixel device. i also got the issue that my pc doesnt recognize my pixel from time to time, you think i should do a complete wipe?

I don't sure.
You are use platfrom-tool from sdk lastversion?(for flash via fastboot mode)

[AIO GUIDE] Install Magisk with OTA +Make your own patched_boot...

Hey ! Today i will give you all the different ways/steps for root your Mi A2 easily.
+ How to manually create patched_boot.img for your version (beta...) without extrernal help.​
Code:
Your warranty is now void.
We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead
SD cards... Please do some
research if you have any concerns about features
included in this GUIDE before using it! YOU are
choosing to make these modifications.
Summary
- Part 1 : Install drivers and unlock bootloader. Credit to @balazs312
- Part 2 : Root with 2 ways
- Bonus : Backup boot.img and make patched_boot.img
- Part 3 : OTA
Part 1 :
So, First you need to install drivers and unlock your phone bootloader. Skip to part 2 if already done.
1. Installing drivers & Preparing PC
- Download this and extract it
- Open and install "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe"
- When it is done, go to "Drivers" folder and start "miflash_unlock.exe"
- Click on the gear icon top right corner and click on "Check" next to "Click the button to install the drive"
- Do as the installer says
- Hopefully the drivers has been installed so we're done with it, let's head on the next step.
2. Preparing phone for unlocking
- On your phone navigate to Settings->System->About phone and tap the build number until you see "You are developer"
- Go back once and you'll see a new menu called "Developer options"
- Tap on it and search an option called "OEM Unlocking", enable it
- We're done here. Let's keep going
3. Entering fastboot and unlocking bootloader (MAKE A BACKUP of your data!)
- Hold your power button down, tap on restart and hold your volume DOWN button while it resets until you see the Mi bunny doing its thing
- Now we're in Fastboot mode, hooray
- Download this zip and extract it on your PC
- Open it and type "cmd" (without the quotations) in the file manager header where you see (This computer>somethingsomething>Mi A2 fastboot), don't be afraid just type it in, and hit enter and you'll enter into command prompt
- Now we are ready for action
- Type these commands one by one:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
After this, you will see a warning message that your bootloader is unlocked and your data is not safe, blah blah... Just ignore it everytime you power on your phone.
Part 2 :
So there are currently two ways to root his phone. Let's start with the first.
Methode 1 : We will use the new temp twrp. Method by me.
1. Download files...
- Download this TWRP.
- Place it in your adb folder.
- Download Magisk-v17.2_a and Magisk-v17.2_b.
- Copy these 2 zips in your phone internal storage.
2. Check current-slot...
- Plugin your phone to you pc
- Navigate to your settigs on your phone.
- Open Developer settings
- Enable Usb Debugging
- A pop up should appear on your phone scren, hit and box and autorize the pc.
- on your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "adb reboot bootloader" , your device should reboot to fastboot
- type "fastboot getvar current-slot". Remember if the result is a or b.
3. Root using temporally twrp
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- On your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-jasmine-20181020.img"
- Your phone now reboot into twrp, it down't flash it, so after a reboot twrp will be gone.
- If twrp ask a password for decrypt data put your phone PIN and validate.
- Click on install and select Magisk-v17.2_a if the result in Step 2. is A, and Magisk-v17.2_b if result is B and swipe to install.
- Then select Reboot.
Now you have Magisk 17.2 installed on your phone, and twrp is gone after reboot. You can select beta in Magisk settings and update to 17.3 if you want.
Methode 2 : We will use patched_boot.img.
1. Where to find patched_boot.img ?
- Go here and check if there is your build version. If yes dowload the patched_boot.img file ( need to be on pc ) and skip to step 2. If not continue.
- If you can't find your correct build patched_boot.img (Because you are on the beta, and nobody share the file or something like that....) you can easily make your own using temp twrp. Go to Bonus part, make your patched_boot.img and continue.
2. Pepare files.
- Copy the patched_boot.img in your adb folder
- Be sure to rename it to "patched_boot.img"
- Download latest Magisk Manager apk here (currently v6.0.1)
- Copy the apk on your phone storage.
3. Install Magisk
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- Open a fastboot command prompt on your pc.
- Type "fastboot boot patched_boot.img"
- Your phone will reboot, put your pin....
- Go in your prefer file explorer and Install the magisk apk.
- Now open Magisk Manager app
- Click Install, direct install. Wait for the process
- And click reboot.
Now you have Magisk 17.2 installed on your phone. You can select beta in Magisk settings and update to 17.3 if you want.
Bonus
So, i will show you how to backup your current bot img. And how to make your own patched_boot.img, so people who are on Beta OTA can root there phone without any external help...
1. Backup the boot.img
- Download this TWRP.
- Place it in your adb folder.
- Reboot your phone in fastboot.
- On your pc, open fastboot command prompt, and type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-jasmine-20181020.img"
- Your phone now reboot into twrp, it down't flash it, so after a reboot twrp will be gone.
- If twrp ask a password for decrypt data put your phone PIN and validate.
- In TWRP, click on "Advanced"
- Click "File Manager"
- Navigate to /dev/block/platform/soc/c0c4000.sdhci/by-name
- You will se a lot of files, and if you look you will see 3 important files, boot, boot_a and boot_b.
- Click on the "boot" file
- Click "Copy File"
- Navigate to /sdcard
- Click the blue arrow and swipe to confirm
- Click reboot
- Copy the file on your pc, and rename it to "boot.img" instead of "boot".
Now you have backup your stok boot.img you can use it for stock or whatever you want....
2. Create the patched_boot.img file
- Download latest Magisk Manager apk here (currently v6.0.1)
- Install the apk on your phone
- Open Magisk Manager
- Go to settings , click Update Channel and select Beta
- Return to home of Magisk Manager
- Click Install, then Boot image file patch ( don't know the correct typo because for me the app is in french, champion du monde !! xD ) and wait for the end of the process.
Done you now create your own patched_boot.img ! Enjoy !!
Part 3 :
So, now i will explain you how to install OTA when you have magisk.
- First, disable Automatic system updates in developer options, so it won't install OTAs without your acknowledgement.
- Open Magisk Manager, click Uninstall, then Restore Images. Don't reboot !
- Now Search for update and wait for the process. BUT do not press the "Restart now" or "Reboot" button !
- Open Magisk Manager, hit Install, then Install to inactive slot.
- Reboot when it's done.
If it don't work (strange) and ota failed, you can find your stock boot.img for your build version here, or backup your boot.img using the[ B]1.[/B] of the Bonus part and flash it using the command "fastboot flash boot_( your current slot) boot.img" (you can check your current slot with command "fastboot getvar current-slot).

Hi
Right now im on OPM1.171019.011.V9.6.13.0ODIMIFE (5 sept 2018) rooted with magisk
I just want to update and re-root, the painless style. I dont want to flash a ****load of stuff to have a functionning phone.
Can anyone confirm that step 3 is ok? Thats the same method than for MI A1, and it was only half functionnal, i dont want to play with fire.
After having killed the IMEI numbers and the persist partition of the A1, it took me 2 weeks to repair, I dont want to **** up this one too. Hell no.

this is safe. but if you want to can just use patched boot method.

I used the method described in Step 3 to install the September OTA (V9.6.13.0) and re-install Magisk. It worked like a charm, but I am trying to repeat the method to install the October update without success. The OTA updater downloads the update, and starts installing it, but it fails miserably every time.
I have even completely uninstalled Magisk and flashed the img from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/others/files/MiA2/
But It does not work, the OTA installer always fails.
I'm clueless, what can I do?

Yep can confirm that the latest canary build is working great. John Wu pulls through again in record time.
And just an extra disclaimer for the sake of clarity this is only working on the previous gen Pixels. The 3/3 XL are still a work in progress for the time being.

Yeah that zip has an extra folder inside of it for some reason. Just use the one from the magisk canary thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337
I had to remove lock screen security first too since TWRP wasn't decrypting properly with it on. GL

You don't need to decrypt, just skip and push the magisk.zip to /mnt and install

Here's how I got to rooted q from the latest rooted stock p without wiping my internal memory. Please note that I do not have any passwords or patterns on my phone, so this works if you do not have encryption. Just make sure you back your phone up to your computer first just in case something goes wrong :
0. With your phone hooked to the computer, boot into bootloader and type "fastboot devices" to make sure your phone shows up. This is optional and just something I do to make sure everything is working as it should.
1. Download the factory image from here: https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
2. Download and install the canary magisk manager from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337. Go to settings and change the update channel to canary. There will now be a new update, tap install but select "download only".
3. Unzip the factory image.
4. Open the "flash-all.bat" file in a text editor and remove the -w flag after the fastboot command near the bottom of the file.
5. Obtain the STOCK boot.img and dtbo.img of the system rom you are CURRENTLY running.
6. Type "adb devices" with your phone hooked up to the computer to make sure that you have a good connection and your phone has debugging on and authorized.
7. Reboot into TWRP and wipe Dalvik/ART cache, System, and Data.
8. Reboot into bootloader.
9. Take a command prompt to where your current stock boot.img and dtbo.img files are.
10. Command: fastboot flash boot {name_of_your_stock_boot.img}
11. Command: fastboot flash dtbo {name_of_your_stock_dtbo.img}
12. Now take your command prompt to where your unzipped q rom is.
13. Command: flash-all
14. When it's finished, your phone will reboot.
15. Download the latest twrp img and zip here: https://dl.twrp.me/taimen/
16. Once your phone is rebooted, go into settings and enable usb debugging.
17. Open a command prompt where you downloaded the twrp image.
17. Command: adb reboot bootloader
18. Command: fastboot boot {name_of_twrp_image_you_downloaded.img}
19. Flash the TWRP zip and the canary magisk zip you downloaded earlier and reboot.

That is exactly what I did to get on rooted q from rooted p, without losing anything on my internal storage, and it does work. If you can tell me any "uneseesery" steps here I'm all ears.

I don't think so..I rooted through that step only..

Help me to root my Hotdogg HD1925 (Android 12)

My phone was rooted before updating to android 12. After updating I lost the root access. Bootloader is unlocked still. Now I want to root my device again but unfortunately didn't find any working recovery for flashing magisk zip.

I was in the same situation. Thankfully someone had shared the boot image.
-Fastboot boot from this image
-Install Magisk
-Choose "install"
-Select "direct install"
-Reboot
You're now rooted.

Try this:
-install magisk 26 https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
-patch the unpatched boot image with Magisk (attached as boot.img)
-fastboot boot new-patched-image
-open Magisk and select direct install
I also added my own patched image, maybe you can try something with that if the latter doesn't work.

I think my initial instructions were wrong. Follow the steps in my previous message.
