yes bootloder unlocked is required this is basic
u can do very little customisation like debloating with locked bootloader
Thanks I knew that bl unlock is required but since you didn't mentioned it here I thought you found a way out without unlocking bl. This patched boot.img is for 10.3.6.0 What if there is new update, then we will lost root.
i will try to provide patched boot img for future updates

1)as we all know k20 is single partition device.so we cannot perform ota whiile preserving magisk,i will update op with all info once i figured out a way to save effort of installing all modules all over again
2)magisk can be updated regularly,no issues at all

Dear Rkview31
If the flash install of the patched image fails, can we reinstall de rom with miflash? Or, is enough to reflash by fastboot command line the original fastboot rom image?
Can any one provide stock recovery (10.3.6) please.

Here's how to root the Pixel 3 running on official and stock Android 10 release, step by step :
(not tested on Pixel 3 XL but it might work the same, just use the right firmware for your device)
What do you need :
> Pixel 3 phone with Android 10
> Unlocked bootloader on your Pixel device
> Latest ADB and FASTBOOT tools on your computer
1 ) Download the latest Android 10 factory image for your device ("Blueline" is the regular Pixel 3) :
Link > Android 10 factory image
2 ) Extract the "boot.img" file on your phone
3 ) Download latest Magisk Manager application on your phone and install it :
Link > https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
4 )Press on the Install Magisk button (the one on the top, not the Magisk Manager), then Install > Select and Patch a File and now select the Boot.img file you extracted earlier. When the process is done, just put the patched boot.img file on your computer in the same folder as your ADB and FASTBOOT tools, the file's name is magisk_patched
5 ) Enable adb debugging on your Pixel phone and connect it to your computer via USB.
Open a command prompt on your computer and migrate to the folder where the ADB and Fastboot tools are located.
(for exemple, for me it's : cd C:\\adb).
7 ) Reboot your phone to fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader
8 ) Flash the Boot.img you just patched with magisk by typing fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
9 ) When i'ts done, reboot by typing fastboot reboot
10 ) Open your Magisk Manager app and chek if everything is good, and it should be ! You can now install Adaway after you enable Systemless root in the Magisk settings and rebooting your phone.
Note that this guide is actually for using adaway. I don't know if it will work for any other root related feature on your phone.
Great guide, thanks!

I would just add not to forget to reboot again after enabling Systemless hosts in the Magisk settings and before installing Adaway (or after installing any other module)

I think my boot.img was not patched successfully. The original file has 64 mb while the patched one has only 30 mb. I've already pdated to Android 10. When I try to path the boot.img I get the following error: FAILED (remote: Not allowed to flash (bootb))
Could anyone please send me his patched boot.img?

Don't worry the new patched boot.img is 30mb, that's absolutely normal. Make sure you have unlocked your bootloader and that your phone's firmware matches the one you used to extract the boot.img. And also make sure your files are all in the same folder (adb and fastboot files + patched boot.img) and, most important of all, check if your platform tools (adb and fastboot) are up to date, then tell us if you managed to make it work.
If I updated via ota adb side load to 10. But used the boot.img from the factory image, would this explain why it did boot, however not one app would start. The system ui would then crash. Just trying to figure out where I screwed up. Thank you.

Thanks man Everything was right but I forgot to update adb and fastboot. Now I have root
ignore me -- im idiot.
i am not sure if my pixel 3 is really rooted. all the apps requiring root says they are granted root access, but, for example, i cannot modify system files with a root file manager at all unlike i could with android 9. how can i confirm it is surely rooted?
So I have a problem, maybe someone can help me with.
Back in March I made the following post:
"I was running on the original September Update since I got the phone, I used this guide when I first rooted https://www.xda-developers.com/googl...r-root-magisk/
Today I decided it was time to update so I used this guide https://www.xda-developers.com/flash...-google-pixel/
Then I wanted to reroot my phone. So I bootet the TWRP image and flashed the magisk 18.1 zip. But after that I softbricked my phone and it wouldn't boot anymore.
So in my panic I flashed the TWRP zip and my phone worked again, but now everytime I try to flash the magsik zip the same thing happens, bootloop and back to flashing twrp.zip. "
After that didn't work, I tried flashing the magisk uninstaller, through twrp, but it exited with "Error 1" everytime. (Running TWRP 3.3.0)
So i decided to give up, because I had some personal stuff to take care of, but after Android 10 came out yesterday, I decided to give this another go.
I flashed the factory image without "-w" and everything is working fine. So today I followed this guide, double checked everything but after I flash the patched boot image I get stuck with a bootloop again... I can flash back the original boot image and everything works so it's not a huge deal, but right now I can't use google pay, because it says I'm rooted.
Any idea what I could do? Can't run the uninstaller and can't reroot... ???
thanks!
Have you checked if your patched boot.img matches the firmware on your phone?
Well it's the same one I used to flash the firmware.
I flashed yesterday without an issue and today I loaded that boot.img onto my phone, used the canary magisk manager to patch it and then transfered it back to my PC to flash it.
Edit: I'm thinking this might have to do with the fact that I couldn't uninstall magisk before.
I went back to Pie because Viper4Android doesn't work on 10. No matter what version. The Legacy version I usually use keeps asking me to install the driver like it had on previous phones when installs were borked.

I had it working before I bodged a magisk module install
No luck here. The steps SEEM to work perfectly. Flashed the modified boot image, booted up fine, but magisk says it's still not installed. No root.
- Latest magisk canary
- Used the same firmware
- No errors anywhere along the way
Hey Mac users, I had to use the command fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
To get the patched image over to my phone. It worked out great. I was able to reboot,
and see the root in Magisk Manager.
YMMV
Thanks, worked like a charm on Linux with latest platform-tools! I thought I'd have to wait a lot longer to get root back on my device.
I have also tried this multiple times. No errors, but I can't edit system files or add modules.

Keeping it short. This is a simple way to root your device. You will need a computer and a data cable for this.
Objectives :
Have root using Magisk
Be able to install OTA from the settings without bootloops
Avoid boot loop
Very important :
This will work with ANY Xiaomi phone, and should work with ANY ANDROID phone as well. The difference between phones would be in where you can get your boot image from.
Your phone has to have an unlocked bootloader
Your phone has to have stock recovery. TWRP WILL cause bootloop for root and/or OTA updates from system.
I like to have root with magisk and don't want to install TWRP because I want to be able to install OTA from system without boot loops. This guide will help you achieve this with ease.
Steps:
Download the ROM full zip file. This could be the ROM ALREADY installed on your phone or you are updating your phone to it. Here is a video of one way to get your ROM file.
https://youtu.be/KsxHial1v1U
Open the file and extract "boot.img" on your phone or Computer.
Move the boot.img file to your phone
Download and install the latest Magisk official manager app from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.4.0/MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk
Open Magisk manager and click install then "select and patch a file" like in this video
https://youtu.be/USHcCMYlexM
Copy the Patched image from the download folder to your computer adb/fastboot folder
Reboot your phone into fastboot (press and hold power and vol down) and connect it to the computer
Flash that patches image file using fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open Magisk manager and complete the installation if needed. The app will prompt you for action.
Enjoy
Update May 2020
Hello again,
Sorry for being away for so long. Here are some of the things I have noticed people are confused with and need to make them clear:
This method works for ANY Android phone. As long as you have the Correct boot.img and can unlock the bootloader
MAKE SURE 100% you have the correct boot.img file for your CURRENT ROM
MAKE 100% SURE, the boot.img file you get from the FULL ROM zip file, not an OTA update zip file
Make sure you check the date and time of the "magisk_patched.img" file to make sure that is the one you made
Make sure you use the LATEST magisk manager
Make sure you open magisk after flashing the magisk_patched.img as boot image. Magisk manager will tell you if there is another step needed, just click yes and it will be done in seconds
Make sure to enable "Hide Magisk" to allow you to have your BANK apps working as well as security checks
If any app you use gives you an error "YOU ARE Rooted bla bla bla" Use magisk manager to hide the root for this specific app (in the settings)
That's all I can remember, good luck

No, bootloader has to be unlocked.
@Kiwironic followed your guide and worked very well, although I had to wipe data through the stock recovery to get the phone to boot, I believe that's just how newer Xiaomi phones work. I do have one question though, now that I'm rooted with stock recovery, would I be able to install OTA updates? I'm assuming I would of course lose root and have to redo the process from scratch if that's the case.

I had root on MIUI10 and updated the ROM to MIUI11 then did my root again the way mentioned and did NOT have to wipe. You can get OTA anyway, it will try the update first, it will fail, then it download and install a full ROM zip automatically. You have to wait for it to do that twice, that's all. The first boot after the update takes some time.
@Kiwironic First, thank you so your simple guide!
Can this cause bootloop on my device? If yes, can I simply flash the original boot.img to boot without any data loss?
Also another question: my device is rootless and bootloader unlocked, so my Google Pay doesn't work. When installing Magisk it goes back to work immediately or I have to do something to work?

If you flash the full rom, chances of bootloop is minimal. And should have stock experience except for being unlocked.
I got bootloop, using indian global V11.0.2.0.
After flashing patched boot, it gets bootloop recovery, only way is to wipe all data and reboot
After booting up and opeing magisk it shows a recommendation to install some ZIP
Accepting the recommendation results in bootloop,
Rejecting the recommendation and trying to Install > Direct Install results in bootloop as well

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP? Which version of Magisk are you using?
I have patched my boot stock image, installed full ROM, then flashed the patched boot image. Magisk did not show any recommendation installation.
There are a few guides online on how to deal with Magisk Bootloop without the need to wipe data.

TWRP 3.3.1-8, magisk 20.1
Patching boot image with magisk wasn't a problem. The Superuser itself works normally, module doesn't. The magisk manager suggested to download additional files for the magisk to be working properly.
I'm on MIUI 11.0.1 Global
Was TWRP the cause in the fist place?

On first installation MM asks to download what it needs e.g. to verify SafetyNet. Allow and there is no problem about. TWRP is generally not needed to install Magisk. Things are documented in Magisk guides

Yes, as the title suggests "without TWRP". The reason is, you cannot install OTA and magisk easily without using the stock recovery. Any attempt to update OTA or use any recovery script on the phone will result in a boot loop.
The solution to get out of the boot loop is simple. Actually a couple of solutions.
One, flash your stock recovery, or
Two, flash a full ROM that includes the stock recovery.
No need to wipe data
That's the only reason I made this post and the other about OTA on root. I don't like to use TWRP because I want OTA install without boot loop. At the same time I want root. Hence the solutions I provided

I've tried flashing magisk via recovery and didn't work, the same bootloop. Here's the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-miui-11-v11-0-1-0-pfjmixm-rooted-t3997299
I thought this might be a working alternative.
Gotta try installing magisk with stock recovery then, and if it still didn't work, well, more research for me..

You have to understand the requirements :
- stock recovery
- install magisk manager app
- patch the boot image for your stock ROM (same version on your phone)
- flash that Patched boot image.
- reboot
- done, that's magisk installed
Hi,
I just updated to 10.0.9.HD01BA on my OP7T Pro and after that I tried to root it with Magisk by patching the OTA update.
This didn't work and it was stuck at the boot animation, so I extracted the boot.img and patched it with Magisk.
But with the patched version I'm also always stuck at the boot animation.
If I flash the original boot.img again, everything is fine, except that there is no root of course.
I already rooted many OP7 and OP7T and never got this result.
Is Magisk currently not supporting 10.0.9, or am I doing something wrong?
I really don't know what else I could do.
Is someone else experiencing this issue?

Did you disable and delete all Magisk modules before updating to OOS 10.0.9? If not, do the following:
- Boot your phone and enable ADB debugging in dev settings.
- Flash the patched Magisk boot.img.
- During boot connect your device to a PC and enter:
"adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules"
- Your device should reboot without any modules and you can install them again.

Unfortunately, I forgot to uninstall the modules.
I tried the adb command and the device reboots, but it's still in the same bootloop.
I also tried to uninstall the modules with TWRP, but since there isn't a fully working version for the OP7T Pro, this also didn't work.
What's weird is, that the magisk patched version of the boot.img always results in a way smaller file than the original.
The original file is ~100mb, while the patched version is ~40mb.
I don't know if this is normal, but it seems odd.
I also tried it with the canary version of magisk, which results in the same small boot.img.
Looks like I have to stay unrooted until this is fixed.
Ok, finally I got it to work.
Since my girlfriend also has a OP7T Pro and still is on 10.0.8 with root, I simply took her boot image and booted it with fastboot. This also resulted in the same bootloop, but now the adb command worked and I was able to boot a rooted 10.0.8 boot.img. Now I was able to use the direct install of magisk and patched the 10.0.9 installation with it.
I think my problem was, that I did't remove the modules in the first place, which screwed up the whole update.
I still can't explain why I wasn't able to patch the boot.img with magisk. It didn't work on my phone with the canary build of magisk, neither did it work on the phone of my girlfriend with magisk 20.4.
Anyway. Now I have a working 10.0.9 boot.img and can safely upgrade my girlfriends phone too.
Thanks for the help!

Interesting, your patched image also is way smaller than the original.
Did you verify, that it's working?

It seems to be normal. I'm not sure why but it might be due to compression. Anyway, glad you figured it out.

Would you mind uploading the files again if you can? I'm struggling with my device being in bootloop and I can't remove the module causing it bc I can't access adb with the bootloop. With the stock boot img I'm hoping to boot the device again and remove the bad module via adb

Im im a similar situation now, is there a way before removing the modules all i can backup them or atleast access a file or something with the modules names ?
kovacsabesz: can you please reupload the file? Thanks
The TWRP for the HD1910 works perfectly on the HD1925. Decryption works too. Install TWRP by using the installer.
Exact the img from the installer zip.
Boot to fastboot
Open a CMD within the extracted TWRP installer folder and type in
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
Once TWRP boots, then install the TWRP installer zip file.
I flashed magisk and it flashed with no issues. I used the latest version here.
Download TWRP for hotdog
Download TWRP Open Recovery for hotdog
dl.twrp.me
NOTE: I did it on the latest version, 11.0.1.18 So I'm not sure if it works on any older versions but I would assume so.
Yep, been out a while now. Works perfectly! However I highly highly recommend not using the twrp installer zip on our phones nor installing it by doing "fastboot flash recovery name_of_twrp.img"
Just download the latest .img and do "fastboot boot name_of_twrp.img" whenever you need to go into twrp recovery. Or you're just asking for trouble with OTA updates definitely no longer working (until you restore the stock recovery that matches the exact version of OOS that you are running) and a good possibility of getting a Qualcomm Crash-dump and losing or breaking all kinds of stuff.

I already know about all that. I've had this phone over a year, so I'm familiar with the hidden "secrets".

BTW, with unlocked bootloader OTA's are not available no matter what type of recovery you have installed. Unless you have reinstalled the reserve.img after unlocking the bootloader

@BobbyLynn I followed your tutorial to install the CrDroid recovery. Can you tell me how to flash TWRP? Bit of a noob for this phone.

Exact (Unzip) the zip folder. Within the extracted folder you'll see some other files. One of them is a recovery.img file. Open a command or PowerShell in the extracted folder. Reboot to fastboot.
Boot to fastboot and run this command
"fastboot boot recovery.img"
Once it boots into TWRP, then click on "install" and locate the TWRP installer zip and select it. It'll most likely be in the download folder. Just make sure you know where the TWRP installer zip is located before you even boot into TWRP

Not at all. The installer will take care of all that once you boot into TWRP
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn Should I take a backup? Would it wipe my storage? or it would be as it is?

No it won't wipe data or anything else. But it's always good to have a backup just in case anything goes sour.

I copied the .zip file on my phone but cannot navigate to it since all it shows is (Up A level), does not show the directories inside the storage

Select up a level then scroll down until you see a file called "storage" that'll take you to your storage. If it doesn't, the go back and click on "sdcard" But I'm almost certain it's in the storage folder
AntiSocialSingh said:
I think i need to flash it once via TWRP, i'll try it later, but thank you, it means that this TWRP works!
Click to expand...

I just checked..... The "sdcard" folder is the one that takes you to the internal storage where the download folder is located. But as soon as you hit 'install" it should've taken you straight to the internal storage. If it didn't, then it sounds like it's still encrypted. If that's the case, then remove any screen locks on your phone before flashing TWRP
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn Let me try once again with the screen lock removed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I installed TWRP I didn't have a screen lock. But after installing TWRP I set a screen lock and TWRP decrypted just fine. So I'm guessing if you install TWRP while you have a screen lock it doesn't install properly so it can't decrypt. It appears that any screen locks must be removed before installing and after installing reapply a screen lock

@BobbyLynn It worked! So basically, I had to remove both fingerprint and pattern locks to get it to work. Thanks a ton!!

I'm kinda curious, why did you install TWRP? Are you fixing to "test drive" some custom ROM's or flash some mods? Or did you install TWRP just for the hell of it?
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn The latter yes, test driving some mods, and I am used to the interface of TWRP, not crDroid much, personal preference hahahaha....Thank you so much once again. you're a legend.

I'm more use to TWRP myself. I started using TWRP about 10 years ago, it was and still is the best recovery out there. I just happened to install crDroid the other day just to test something. And that test turned out to be a great discovery of a simple way to root the stock firmware. Since I have a extra McLaren, I do quite a bit of testing and modding and experimental stuff. I'm currently working on installing the global firmware (unbranding) it. No luck yet, but I might be getting close.
AntiSocialSingh said:
@BobbyLynn I will be the first one to follow your tutorial if you manage to flash the Global ROM on it sir. I promise haha!
Click to expand...

You can bet your ass that if I pull off that trick it'll get LOT'S of comments from people thanking me lol. We've been wanting to install the global firmware on this phone, but nobody can figure out how to mod the ROM to make it flash on this phone. There's some very smart developers that own this phone, so I'm surprised that none of them have figured it out yet. So I've been tinkering around with trying to install it. It's looking like I'm going to have to make some modifications to the global ROM and/or the phone too to make the MSM tool see the phone as a comparable device

Well, yeah, restoring reserve.img is a prerequisite to get OTAs with the bootloader unlocked, but it only has to be done once. After that, for each ota, just restore the boot image to stock (uninstall magisk) and you're good to go
