This guide provides all the steps and patches required to root the Stock system and having Xposed installed while maintaining SafetyNet (Android Pay, Pokemon Go, etc) compatibility. There are some problems of this method that Magisk is supposed to fix, however the latest Magisk v10 is not supporting our stock ROM yet.
The prerequisites of this guide is to have the bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery.
DOWNLOADS
The recipe require the following ingredients to be downloaded to your internal or external storage:
1. TWRP 3.0.3 (This is the last release at this moment). more info in the Official Thread. Thanks to @jcadduono . TWRP 3.0.2 can't succesfully flash SuperSU 2.79
2. Default Stock ROM for your phone (Required only if you have modified your system or boot partition). You can download them from this thread. Thanks to @DrakenFX . You can alsouse any other custom ROM based on stock such as ZADMix or HelsAx7 SubMix (both tested).
3. SuperSU v2.79. more info in its official thread.
4. SUhide 0.55. More info in its official thread. Thanks to Chainfire.
5. SafetyNet-KCAL Kernel patch, thanks to @jcadduono also for this one!
6. Xposed v86.2 So far only this version is compatible with SUhide.
7. Material Design Xposed Manager app by DVDandroid. More info about this release in its official thread.
8. Root Switch 1.3.3.2 app. Thanks to shakalaca. More info in its official thread.
INSTALLATION
1. Do a backup of your system, I recommend Boot+System+Data partitions. The next steps will modify at least your boot and data partitions, and some Xposed modules will modify also your system partition.
2. If you already have TWRP 3.0.3 then just boot to recovery and proceed to step 3. If you are still using TWRP 3.0.2 please upgrade to the latest TWRP 3.0.3 and reboot to recovery again.
3. I recommend to flash the default Boot and System Partitions and reboot directly to recovery. You can also use any other custom ROM based on the stock ROM such as ZADMix or HelsAx7.
4. All this step must be done without leaving TWRP. Flash SuperSU 2.79 adding also the zips for SUhide 0.55, Xposed v86.2 and the SafetyNet Kernel patch in that order. They must be flashed together. Without leaving TWRP, navigate from the main menu to Advanced > Terminal, introduce the command reboot disemmcwp and the system will reboot by itself once or twice while configuring the settings for SuperSU. Do not be alarmed.
5. Install Xposed Manager and Root Switch apps.
6. Now you have your system fully rooted and you can now install Xposed modules. However you will see the test app SafetyNet Helper reporting a validation failure. Do not worry about it anymore! When you want to initiate a SafetyNet sensitive application (Android Pay or Pokemon Go among others), just open Root Switch and disable root, no need to reboot. SafetyNet will pass and all your apps will work. You can see that Xposed continue working even after disabling root since it was started before. Do not forget to enable root again otherwise new apps requiring root won't load.
Magisk v10+ promises auto root hide per app, but sadly our stock ROM is not yet supported and the method psoposed here requires the user to disable root before loading any SafetyNet protected app.
Enjoy

Has anyone managed to get this working on A2017G/B09? I've had a few attempts, forcing systemless SuperSU, but it hangs at the "AXON" boot screen

At what point of the guide is it hanging at the Axon boot screen? after step 4? Have you ensured that the SafetyNet patch is the last thing you flashed before boot?
I just did this on my B29 A2017U phone and it worked perfectly, can switch root on and off with the root switcher and Safetynet passes fully with root set to off.
My previous attempts were all thwarted by the bootloader being unlocked, so that patch to the kernel works great. I'll be backing this up with twrp and getting a little more adventurous (really want to try the BeastMode kernel) soon.
Much thanks for making it nice and simple, Oki !

I'm on the same configuration (A2017G B09). I did a step by step installation/reboot/installation/reboot. The Problem is with suhide. After installing suhide the boot process will stick in the Axon screen.

You do not have to reboot after SUhide. The files at step 4 have to be flashed together without leaving TWRP otherwise it won't work.

In theory you're right. But how do like a bugfix to be done if you don't know at which point you're failing?!?

The last patch fixes some problems created by SuperSU, SUhide and Xposed. This is why all the patches in step 4 have to be flashed together without leaving TWRP and in the specified order, otherwise it wont work on stock ROMs.
That looks way complicated. What's wrong with the easy way of flashing Magisk V10 + Phh Superuser r266? This has worked on all my devices since the November security patch broke suhide. Magisk now takes care of the flag to hide bootloader unlock status so no need for a kernel patch too. Then flash systemless Xposed by topjohnwu if you want that and you can turn it on and off in Magisk Manager if you want to use Android Pay, play Pokemon Go, etc.
Hi,
I have a A2017G running B08, already unlocked and witch SuperSU 2.79. Just the older version of TWRP.
Can I just upgrade the TWRP and proceed with step 4 and so on? Hate to go back to stock...
Tia,
Cheers,

For some reason Magisk is not compatible with the Axon 7 kernel. Not yet. This is why it is so complicated and requires a guide. Last time I tested this was yesterday using Magisk v10.2 and phh Superuser r2, and they still failed to root the system.

Yes you can try to begin with step 4 with SUhide on. It should work. However I recommend you to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.3 and do the whole step 4.

Not quite sure I understand you.
I've tried doing this on A2017g, b09;
0) wipe data/system/boot
1) flash stock Boot stack + System stack zips in twrp 3.0.3 unlocked bl
2) rebooted straight to recovery
3) flashing SuperSU wrote to system so I had to start again but forcing systemless (in terminal; echo "SYSTEMLESS">/data/.SuperSU
4) flash supersu, suhide
5) flash xposed
6) flash the safety net/kcal patch
7) reboot
And I still get stuck on "AXON" boot screen

SuperSU 2.79 installs in systemless mode, no need to set systemless.
Regarding your problem, please try this. Instead of rebooting using the button, open the terminal in TWRP and type "reboot disemmcwp". I hope this was your problem.
This doesn't work for me. Steps:
1. complete wipe
2. install b29 boot stack
2. install b29 system
3. install super su 2.79
4. install su hide 0.55
su hide comes back with an error that says it can't find super su and I should make sure I've installed 2.79 or greater.
edit:
I missed the part in step 3 where you say "reboot directly to recovery". I tried that, but it rebooted to system instead and now I lost TWRP entirely.
edit2:
fastboot flashed twrp again and once in recovery I was able to get through step 4
edit3:
Now it's just stuck on the axon logo. Tried force reboot and the same thing.
Are you sure you tested this from scratch? I have the US version of the axon 7.

Don't install beast mode yet, from my experience all the steps from op worked fine until I flashed beast mode and it broke safetynet.

Are you using TWRP 3.0.3? SuperSU 2.79 installs fine and in systemless mode when flashed with the latest TWRP. TWRP 3.0.2 can't flash it properly.
Yes this method has been tested, not only with stock Roms, but also with ZADmix.
If you are doing a complete cleanup before flashing the ROM, boot into system at least once after installing the ROM so the data tree structure is setup. You actually don't need a full cleanup.

Please ensure you have flashed the right stock ROM for your unit. I have modified Ingredient 2 in the OP since it was highly misleading. Ensure you have unlocked bootloader, TWRP 3.0.3 and flash the right ROM for your system: ZTE_A2017GV1.0.0B09_BootStack_by_tron1.zip and ZTE_A2017GV1.0.0B09_StockSystem_by_tron1.zip. And boot to the system at least once before continue to the rest of the procedure.
I want to root my poco f1 ....
But i have some questions regarding it
1. Will my data be format while rooting and installing twrp
2. How i will get ota update
3. Will installing ota update also format my data?
1. Your whole internal data needs to be wiped... To flash the force decryption enabler at first...
Even while installing twrp via fastboot.. Your data will be formated
2. You will get updates... But not via ota.... Yes you will get to download the updateds in some roms... But you need to dirty flash them.
3. While dirty flashing.... Formatting data is not required.

Does the twrp with working decryption also need to format my data?
You can root your device in two ways.
First, with twrp (OTA won't work afterwards)
Second, without twrp (OTA will work)
First method, unlock the bootloader (device will be wiped)>Grab the twrp with working decryption>Boot your device into fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Now type fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Once booted into twrp, swipe to allow modification>Now download Magisk installer and copy into the device>Flash it?Reboot to system>Profit.
N.B. After flashing twrp, make sure to first boot into twrp before booting into system or else device will restore stock recovery. If you need to update in future, just grab the twrp flashable update package and flash it. That's it. No need for OTA.
Second method, this will also require an unlocked bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, get the stock boot image of your current software (e.g. if you are on miui 10 with October security patch, make sure to grab the stock boot image for miui 10 october). Now install Magisk manager apk in your device. Now open magisk manager and go to install. You will find an option for patching stock boot image. Click on it and select the stock boot image. Magisk will patch the boot image and will place it in your internal memory. Now boot into fastboot mode and type fastboot boot patched_boot.img (or whatever the name is). Once device is booted into system, go to Magisk and click on Install>Direct install (recommended).Magisk will get flashed by itself and reboot. Once rebooted, go to Magisk manager and check. If you do everything correctly, you are rooted.
N.B. When you get an OTA update, open Magisk and go to Unsinatll and click on "Complete uninstall". It will uninstall magisk and revert your stock boot image back. Note that, if you play witgh system partition like modifying build.prop or change host file or bootanimantion or any such thing, you won't be able to get any further OTA update. In that case, you need to flash the complete fastboot rom through MiFlash tool.
For more information, please go to Magisk thread or search online.
Hi everyone, I am recently registered on this site. from some days I have the desire to do the Root on the miui global stable, it is consequently on my beloved Xiaomi Mi 8, the problem is: when the device is turned off I turn on the device pressing it under volume key + ignition key at the same time to enter in recovery mode, the latter makes me enter in "Official" mode, in the sense that it does not let me enter twrp mode where there are install, settngs, advacend options, backup ... but in the official one with only 3 buttons: wipe , connect to mi account ... So I thought of flashing the twrp via fastboot, I finally entered it, but the problem is that when I go to Install, to install the root, I can't do that, because characters (alphanumeric) appear long and randomly, so I can't identify which folder I put the Magisk on, it appears in both folders and subfolders. somewhere I read to install a zip file called LazyFlasher, to avoid possible blocking at startup, in fact I try before installing this zip file, with various combinations (first rom, then magisk, both rom and magisk, first magisk then rom , first rom that gate at the end the cache then magisk) but all fail, so I am forced to flash through fastboot with the tool I flash, because at every start it always took me back to twrp without the possibility of moving, it seems that the touch does not respond at the user's commands. So I know that this LazyFlasher file causes me to "bypass" this problem, give me confirmation ??. Thank you. PS: so far I haven't managed to install the Magisk root yet, can you give me a hand, maybe the twrp has some problems? or is my device not compatible with this version of twrp ??, I tell you that in the past with the miui global beta it didn't give me this problem. Thank you all
Have you even unlocked your bootloader? If not look for the official Xiaomi tool, it's the only way how you are able to flash twrp and root your phone.

Thanks for the reply, I solved everything, unlocked BL, installed twrp (no stock) and installed root. but I have a problem, when I installed the root, every time I want to restart the device for a series of reasons (slowness, delete cache, rest ...) it starts in twrp not in the system, so I have to delete everything it's starting again. I heard that the LazyFlasher file makes it possible to remedy this problem, essentially it allows you to bypass the security of android to avoid bootloap, and I hope it also corrects this problem (which when I reboot the device, I want to install a zip file, I it always starts in twrp), but during the flash of this zip (LazyFlasher) I get an error: the Updater process ended with error: 1 Error installing zip '/sdcard/lazyflasher-no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip. Thanks a lot. PS: but this file, lazyflasher should be mounted on an SD card to work ?? I don't have it on my device

Flash a DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable the Verity check. OR if you want to keep encryption and root -flash a 3rd party Kernel like MiPa or Sphinx after Magisk.

thank you. in the past I flamed DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable Verity checking. in fact after immediately this zip I put magisk. at the access of the dispay I saw a magisk icon, so it means root installed successfully. but the problem is: when I reboot the device to clear the cache ... or install a module on the magisk, it always starts in twrp, so I have to start all over again. there is a way to keep cryptography and root, without any booting going into twrp but into the system. thank you

You shouldn't have these problems:
Flash ROM and Keep Encryption:
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'DM-Verity' file is the ONLY thing the file is named. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Flash MAGISK
Flash 3rd Party Kernel (I prefer MiPa or Sphinx found in other threads)
Reboot and enjoy!
Flash ROM and REMOVE Encryption: (Keeps Stock Kernel)
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'verity' AND 'forceencryp' is in the file name. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Reboot and enjoy!
If you have problems with any of them, you might need to format internal storage first (where you have to answer 'yes' in TWRP)
/.
As far as I understand, you are having problems while booting into TWRP. You should boot into TWRP right after flashing it, and boot into OS once again and reboot to recovery. It should work. If you see the stock recovery, keep flashing TWRP. If you want to temporarily flash it, use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" command.

No problems booting into TWRP.
You can use "fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img"
Then reboot phone and hold volume-up+power. When booting until TWRP appears. If you miss it and it tries to boot it will overwrite it. But I've never had issues otherwise.

Thanks for the reply. I will choose the first option, I replace the stock kernel with sphinx kerne, so I get more functionality, battery life, performance, fluidity ... also the developer has mentioned us, if any desired functionality is missing in this kernel, it is possible ask the developer to add us. so I choose the first option, I have some questions before replacing the stock kernel: 1) is it possible to restore the kernel stock, in case of problem, if yes, where can I get the kernel for Mi 8? 2) if in the future there will be a new update of sphinx kerne, how do I understand if a new update has been released? will you notify me ?? 3) are you sure that after these steps, upon restarting the phone, I will find the root installed ?, if I would like to restart the device, it will not boot in twrp but in the system, because I replaced the stock kernel, the same thing is also valid for the magisk modules, zip files ... 4) the last fundamental thing, will I receive updates via OTA ?? if not, is there a way to install future updates (I would like to try the latest magisk version, 19.3) ?. 5) it is safe if I install update via ota, it does not start in twrp, but system. 6) the steps to do are, flash twrp custom via fastboot, I choose to delete the memory, restart twrp, copy the files (MIUI global stable, sphinx kernel, dm-verify), flash rom, flash dm-verify, flash magisk, flash kernel, device reboot, all right. Thanks a lot for the questions

I managed to install the root, doing the following steps: flash twrp via fastboot, copy the files to the internal memory, install rom files, install magisk files, install dm-verify, then reboot, and it works perfectly. but I have some problems: when I reboot the device, it starts in twrp not in the system, and therefore I am forced to do it again. help me !! kernel replacement gives me error, both

You should not have errors flashing a kernel. Maybe you should flash all partition images from fastboot. Or maybe wrong recovery? What version are you using?

I followed in this guide "https://clk.ink/7q4SUR" but instead of installing Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1.zip I downloaded Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018.zip, is it the same ?, also I saw that, when I go inside the magisk, and I click on uninstall> restore image, a warning appears "there is no original boot image", I also executed this command in powershell "fastboot getvar current-slot" but I get a "GetVar Variable Not found" error. I don't know how to solve. thank you
Hello,
i'm trying to root a Sharp B10 (SH-A01) with Magisk.
It would be nice if i could do this without unlocking because i want to keep the stock rom anyway.
First problem is that i can't find a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM) for this device from where i could install Magisk.
Then i found out that Magisk gives the possibility to root a device through the Magisk Manager App by patching the boot.img.
But the second problem is that i can't find the boot.img either. I spotted the boot partition on the device and tried to pull with adb but i would need an already rooted device to give the needed permissions.
Is there anything else I could do to get this thing rooted besides compiling my own TWRP for the device?
thanks a lot,
paul

Neither Magisk nor TWRP is needed to root Android: Chainfire's SuperSu does the job. You flash its ZIP via stock recovery "adb sideload"

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
I already managed to root this device. I got the boot.img with Wwr_MTK & SP flash tool (windows tools...), patched it with the magisk app and than flashed the patched boot.img
1. Unlock your bootloader enter in download mode Vol+ + Vol- + USB conected to pc (Keep in mind that by doing this you will lose your files, it is advisable to make a backup of your photos, music, etc.)
2. Once you start your cell phone install magisk manager, Choosing the boot.img file of your rom into the app (Tip: Only!!! If your model is SM-A015M Android 11 I leave you my own modified boot.img to flash:
File on MEGA
mega.nz
Otherwise, you can download the firmware (3.79 gb) and extract the boot.img from the firmware of your model SM-A015 M / F ... Android 10, Android 11... etc. And No need for pc
https://samfrew.com/model/SM-A015M/
3. The image will begin to flash
4. When it restarts you will have Root on the cell phone!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra: If you need the custom recovery I give you the link with my TWRP which is installed through the Odin program on a PC (this step does not delete your files)
File on MEGA
mega.nz
Keep in mind that to install TWRP you must deactivate the DM-VERITY & FORCEENCRYPT DISABLER I leave it in a link:
Zackptg5 - Android
zackptg5.com
This is a module that can be installed via magisk, which is necessary to decrypt the system ... so once TWRP is installed, it is advisable to uninstall it via Magisk to avoid R / W errors
Had QFJEUXM v11.0.5.0,
OrangeFox v10.1.2,
Hasty kernel,
Magisk Canary v20416
Today received OTA notification for QFJEUXM v11.0.6.0 (frankly, expected v12 but ok for now).
Did not accept OTA (System update, Automatic download disabled) but proceeded as following:
1) Downloaded full Recovery/zip firmware
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.6.0...AGlobal_V11.0.6.0.QFJEUXM_79a4386920_10.0.zip
2) Opened (in MiXPorer), copied out boot.img, patched boot.img from Magisk Manager (Preserve DM-Verity and Preserve Encryption On, Recovery Mode Off)
3) Rebooted to OrangeFox, flashed firmware zip from (1)
4) Rebooted again to OrangeFox (otherwise stock Recovery will overwrite), flashed patched_boot.img from (2)
5) Rebooted to system:
- all apps, settings and data preserved
- Magisk, modules, root grants all preserved
By (4), OrangeFox was also preserved.
Instead of OrangeFox, you can also use Official TWRP (probably Unofficial as well and likely other custom Recoveries)
Btw, Official TWRP v3.4.0 just released:
https://dl.twrp.me/davinci/
finally supporting back-up of Data if using dual apps:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82910629&postcount=316
Updated mine today also. dowload zip, patched boot with magisk, installed zip and boot image with TWRP, looks like all is fine.
Great, thanks for the advice as I usually follow your recommendations.
Proceeded with Hasty kernel, it works fawlessly with QFJEUXM v11.0.6:
Download Hasty-davinci-Intoxicated-insider.zip from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82564409&postcount=119
1) Reboot to OrangeFox/TWRP and
flash the just downloaded Hasty
2) Reboot to system - Magisk Manager will show that Magisk is not installed, never mind
3) Reboot to OrangeFox/TWRP and make a Backup of Boot
4) Reboot to system and patch the just backed up boot.emmc.win
5) Reboot to OrangeFox/TWRP and flash the just patched patched_boot.img
Reboot to system and enjoy Hasty kernel (longer lasting battery) with Magisk
Step (2) could probably be skipped and therefore steps (1) and (3) merged to a single step:
Reboot to OrangeFox/TWRP and
flash Hasty, then backup Boot
This maybe a stupid question (probably is) I normally use TWRP and not that I have needed to do it yet but what are the steps for restoring a backup with OF and from reading the guide it doesn't actually explain it? I currently backup to a OTG USB stick.
thanks

With the latest official TWRP 3.4.0 I was finally able to successfully back-up Data partition (I'm using dual WhatsApp and it was failing both with TWRP and OrangeFox)
Hence you can use TWRP 3.4.0 (instead of OrangeFox as explained in post #1) and backup everything (except Cache and TWRP recovery itself) in advance - but I didn't need to restore anything (ie, didn't need to restore Data upon upgrading MIUI): all my apps, data and settings were preserved
Otherwise, I also (partially) backup things over Google and Mi account
What I was trying to say is I'm now using Orangefox and just looking how to do a restore if needed as I was using TWRP for years.

There is also Backup/Restore option in OrangeFox
AFAIK, Fox uses the TWRP engine (Fox has different UI and few more options) hence it's backup (files indeed look the same) should be restorable through TWRP
I liked Fox but for now I switched to TWRP since finally being able to make full nandroid backup by TWRP 3.4.0 - hoping that Fox will be updated to the latest TWRP engine
Thanks, being comfortable with TWRP I might switch back at least I know what I'm doing.
Is there are anybody here who did upgrade to QFJEUXM v11.0.6, but who has NO Magisk (and ideally, has locked Bootloader) to check SafetyNet with the attached app, or alternatively with:

No matter if on v11.0.6 or older, if Bootloader is unlocked, CTS Profile will fail (since the last day or two) and Magisk with Magisk Hide Props Config cannot help
Seems that custom ROMs are excluded from the problem (from Google's ongoing testing)
Google is testing SafetyNet, they will hopefully turn off again that hardware backed CTS Profile attestation later:
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/safetynet-api-clients/lpDXBNeV7Fg/Ov2H6ZvhBQAJ
But nobody knows when they can enforce for real and forever, affecting Google Play Device certification and Google Pay

Use e.g. Magisk Hide Props Config module for Magisk and chose the option to delete a prop ro.product.model - reboot and CTS Profile will be using Basic attestation mode, so CTS Profile and SafetyNet will pass
If Playstore shows Device is not certified,, go to Settings, Apps, enable System services, search for Google and delete Cache and Data for Google Playstore, Google Services Play and Google Services Framework
Did anyone had a successful backup>restore with TWRP v3.4.0/11.0.6?
i tried to get my backup to phone but i get the famous "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"
EDIT: was able to get the backup back. wiped all partitions, reflashed with miflash, put the same version of miui after, then the backup worked fine, phew!
