VERY IMPORTANT:
Please make sure your boot.img version matches the ROM version . that's mean if you update your device then you have to use patch boot.img from new recovery rom.never use the old one. If they mismatch you might brick your phone and MediaTek phones are HELL to unbrick.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Yes you can root your phone without data loss. You do not need to you type so much command line. You have to patch the stock boot image file with magisk manager. Then you have to download a a blank vbmeta.img file.(link in this post)
Then run this command
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot patch-boot.img
%%replace patch-boot as your file name...
I guarantee you no data loss.
Remember one thing...
You must patch the correct boot image of your rom... If you to flash a wrong version of bhoot image then you have some problem.
Suppose you update miui global 11.0.5.0 from 11.0.4.0 and you use 11.0.4.0 version patch boot image file....
Then your device boot up but you can not play any music .....i do this dump thing.....but do not worry just flash currect patch boot image and your problem is gone...

Hey @Shas45558, I can't root MIUI V11.0.7.0.Q having tried these steps on a friend's phone yesterday. It worked on my phone on V11.0.50.Q but I also installed that update though my bootloader is still locked as you may know

That's exactly what I did. Downloaded the full recovery rom and extracted it. Patched the boot.img inside images folder with Magisk canary and after copied it to my PC and flashed it via fastboot. I then flashed the vbmeta after. Do you mind sharing with me your patched boot image for V.11.0.7Q? Maybe I'll have luck with that otherwise I did everything right. Its really strange.

Welcome. Redmi 9 and redmi note 9 are are based on same chipset mt6768....
And so the process help you. I think it is the same to root any device running on Android 10.
And vbmeta.img which I provide upper post, is a universal vbmeta.img. you can use it to flash any Android device which has vbmeta partition because this vbmeta.img is a dummy file or you can call it as a blank file...

My issues was patching using the canary version of Magisk Manager which isn't stable enough and was probably not patching the boot image properly as opposed to Magisk Manager 7.5.1 which is the stable version. Nice explanation on the vbmeta.img file.

Download pbrp from official website.then extract it and you will get a .img file.flash it via fastboot mood and the cmd is
fastboot flash recovery pbrp.img
*Change pbrb.img according to your file name.
One big question..did you unlock your bootloader and root your device?
Thank you very much! I succeeded according to your advice!

Do you mind to elaborate about the steps taken to get and patch boot image?
What I did is I grabbed the "boot_X-FLASH-ALL-8F02.sin" file, used UnSIN tool to convert it to "boot.img" and then Android Image Kitchen AIK to unpack and repack the image (this step is necessary on older Xperia phone, is that the case here?), then finally patch the repacked boot image using Magisk.
But when flashing the new patched boot image, I get a non functional touch screen and wifi. I was able to control the phone using ScrCpy tool to mirror the phones screen on my computer and control the phone from the window that appears on the computer. But since WIFI won't even turn on, I couldn't even verify that Magisk was working or not.
What is worse, is that if I tried to flash the original untouched Boot image SIN or the converted IMG, the phone still has non-working touch-screen and WIFI.
FlashTool by Androxyde and EMMA tools do NOT support this phone yet. I ended up using Newflasher tool to go back to stock (still unlocked bootloader) and everything works fine, but no root.
I have the US model I3223 btw.
Thank you kindly, awaiting your response.

After installing Magisk19.3 with TWRP, my phone stuck in bootloop and can not enter the recovery mode.
I tried to flash I4293_53.0.A.6.96_1318-2077_R1A.ftf (Factory ftf. downloaded from experifirm) with flashtool to solve this problem.
when I tried to create bundle, I found that I4293 did not show in the ID list.
I can't do anything about it.
Anybody can help me plz~~ I'm fresh in XDA and just try to root my phone first time :crying:
This phone cannot be rooted at this time due to the lack of the img.patch and no driever.

Are you still stuck? For all of the latest Sony phones try NewFlasher instead.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426
Flashtool doesn't support our phones. Magisk 19.1+ currently doesn't work with our phones. Hopefully 19.4 will fix that.
Before rooting, you'll need an unlocked bootloader. Check my previous guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/x3...ck-bootloader-realme-x3-t4136325/post83109505.
After unlocking, we can get started with rooting.
First, you'll want to install Magisk Manager. You can find the latest APK here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk/releases.
Next, you'll need to download the latest OTA OZIP. There's a link at the end of the post for this.
While that's downloading, you'll also need to grab a copy of an OZIP extractor. Follow the link below, download the repository as a ZIP, and unzip it.
For this program to work, you'll need Python 3 installed. On Linux systems, it should already be installed. On Windows 10, you can install Python from the Store.
Open a terminal or CMD window and cd to where you extracted the OZIP extractor files.
Use pip to install the docopt module: "pip3 install docopt".
Once the OZIP has finished downloading, move it to the same folder as the extractor program.
Run the following command: "python3 ozipdecrypt.py NAME_OF_OZIP_FILE". This will take a while!
Once it's done extracting, there will be a ZIP file with the same name as the OZIP. We only need two files from here: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
Extract those two files to the same folder as the extractor program.
Copy the boot.img file to your device.
Open Magisk Manager and choose the "INSTALL" option next to the Magisk status. Tap "INSTALL" in the dialog that appears and then choose "Select and Patch a File."
Browse to where you copied your boot.img to and select it. Magisk will now patch it and create a file named magisk_patched.img in your Download folder. Copy magisk_patched.img back to your computer.
Reboot your phone into fastboot: "adb reboot bootloader". If you don't have ADB or fastboot installed (which you should, since you needed them for the previous guide), you can find the link in the bootloader unlocking guide.
Before you flash the patched boot image, you need to disable image verification, which is where the vbmeta.img comes in.
Run "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification" (remember, you'll probably need to unplug and replug the device after hitting Enter). This will disable boot verification and allow the patched image to actually work.
Finally, run "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img". This will flash the rooted boot image to your device.
Run "fastboot reboot" and let the phone boot back into the system. Check Magisk Manager and you should now be rooted!
Troubleshooting:
If you get an error that the boot image was "destroyed," don't worry. You'll just need to flash the stock boot.img and try again. Unplug your phone from your computer and wait for it to turn off. Once the screen is black, hold down VOL-DWN and PWR to enter fastboot mode. You can then run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (where boot.img is the stock image) to restore. Reboot, then try the vbmeta and patched image flashing again.
You can get the OTA OZIPs from Realme EU's site: https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update.
You can get an OZIP extractor from here: https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt. (NOTE: you'll need to install the "docopt" Python module.)
OZIPs contain a boot.img, which you can extract and patch with Magisk for root. If someone else has an idea for patching Magisk into the boot.img, this is where to start.
Here's my patched boot.img for A.32. I don't recommend using this on other versions: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=315334
Could you share your patched boot.img for the latest OS version? And could you check if the aux magisk module from X2 pro works to activate all aux cameras in Gcam? Thanks

It's pretty simple to patch it yourself. Download the OZIP, use the Python tool to unencrypt it, take the boot.img file out of the created ZIP, copy it to your device, and then patch with with Magisk Manager.

It's really weird on official en site there is a42 soft from September but on pl site there is a46 from December.
Does anyone have a guide on how to root a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10? I’m a novice Android user so any help will be appreciated. Thanks
You will need a Windows PC with Fastboot and Mi unlock tool installed. Here is what you could do without a TWRP to root through Magisk:
Apply for the Unlock process. This will take 167 hours and will factory reset your device. Backup your data before you do this. After the waiting period unlock your Bootloader.
Download your matching or newer Fastboot firmware from here. I assumed you have note 10 non 5G (mojito) based on that screenshot, if not, then that website has it for different varieties as well.
The Fastboot firmware is in .tgz format. Keep a copy for future screw ups just in case (will rescue you). Extract that archived folder and find boot.img inside.
Copy that .img to your phone, and download magisk manager 21.0 or newer and install it.
When opening the Manager on your phone for the first time, it'll prompt you to install itself, choose select and patch file and select the boot.img you copied to your phone earlier.
After it does that successfully, you will find a file called magisk_patched.img on the root of internal storage. Copy that patched .img back to your PC.
Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, flash that patched boot.img using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
If flashed successfully, reboot your device and update/further install magisk.
Done, Your device is rooted !!!

Copy that .img to your phone, and download magisk manager 21.0 or newer and install it.
When opening the Manager on your phone for the first time, it'll prompt you to install itself, choose select and patch file and select the boot.img you copied to your phone earlier.
After it does that successfully, you will find a file called magisk_patched.img on the root of internal storage. Copy that patched .img back to your PC.
Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, flash that patched boot.img using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
If flashed successfully, reboot your device and update/further install magisk.
Done, Your device is rooted !!!

Not really necessary for Xiaomi devices (apart from the Mi series) as far as I know, but maybe they changed that with the upgrade to android 11?

He meant disabling AVB 2.0 by flashing the vbmeta.img from the downloaded fastboot firmware by using:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
I personally have encountered many problems using Magisk 22.0 stable version, if you're using that, then either update to the canary version (you can switch the update channel in the manager settings) or use the older version 21.4.
If all of the above fails, just reflash the stock boot.img and your phone will boot normally.

precisely I did not take magisk v22 but v21, moreover I have exactly the same version as the first poster is 12.0.1 RKGEUXM.
To root I took the boot.img from version 12.0.2, was it an error?
I tried to reflash the original boot.img file from v12.0.2 but still in bootloop
I can not find anywhere where to take my original version yet up to date v12.0.1
@titifayls The original poster had version
V12.0.1.0.RKGMIXM (Global) while you claim to have downloaded
V12.0.2.0.RKGEUXM (European) which are not interchangeable. If you want to use either global or eu. Then you would need to flash the full firmware, you can't flash the boot.img from EU to ROM of global. It won't boot.
If you don't really remember which version came with your device, then reply to me again and I can give you further instructions. Tell me which OS are you using to access fastboot and if you want to preserve your data.

ha , sorry indeed I may have made a mistake, now I don't remember my exact version, it seemed to me that it was EU but in 12.0.1
I use ABD in fastboot and yes I would like to keep all my data that I did not save before wanting to root: /
I bought the phone on aliexpress, I am French, can I look on the box if I have any info on the version?

I asked if you're using windows or linux to connect to your phone. About losing data, maybe a clean flash could be required, but trying first won't hurt.
Here is how you do it: (you can use the downloaded fastboot firmware, because your device is unlocked, so region differences won't matter that much when flashing full firmware):
Inside that .tgz archive (that you unarchived) you'll find a script called flash_all_except_data_storage.bat for windows or flash_all_except_data_storage.sh for linux. (Do not use the flash_all_lock.bat/.sh script or risk a hard brick, so read carefully this time!!!!)
Connect your device in fastboot mode and open a CMD/Terminal where those scripts and the rest of the firmware files are. Use fastboot devices to make sure device is recognized.
If it is, then type in fastboot followed by dragging and dropping the flash_all_except _data_storage.bat to your CMD/terminal and press Enter. The process should begin automatically. If you get an error, make sure to have typed a space after the fastboot command and before the dropped script.
If it takes a long time during flash of super, don't panic!! Super.img is a very big file
Done!
If it still bootloops after that, then use the flash_all.bat script (will factory reset your phone and delete data)
It doesn't matter, it gives me the list of commands but doesn't launch anything
Wouldn't it be better to put fastboot flash?
don't bother, I'll take miflash, it'll be easier
I delivered an eea_global_images_V12.0.2.0.RKGEUXM rom with miflash by putting flash_all_except_data_storage.
I recovered everything at startup, my applications everything, so I redid the manipulation for the root and now everything works, perfect
thank you
I did the above process successfully.
Also if new update comes out, the process must be done again (not including the unlocking part of course).

so if i use latest magisk v22.1 , do i have to disable something like vbmeta.img or not ? or it is onli Mi Series that need to disable vbmeta.img ?

Only MI series need that. You should not have to do that. Also yes, I meant to say that 22.0 stable magisk can make the patched boot.img unbootable. Using the 22.1 canary is the way to go.

You would need to connect your phone in fastboot mode and use MI unlock tool again. It'll tell you how many hours left. Usually, you just need to wait exactly one week or 168 hours.

I used the latest as well. Most of the time, it errors out and I can't see the time left, but sometimes it works. Don't forget, you're giving them your imei for the freedom of your phone. Those imei's must be stored on Chinese servers and the tool must query those servers to get any info, depending on your country it may not work at all.
My experience with using an older tool has been very bad, the time was extended to 2 weeks instead of one on an another Xiaomi device. Avoid doing that and wait the requested time first.
After following the instruction my phone keeps rebooting.
I tried the flash_all.bat without success. What could I do?
Hi all and sorry for my bad english in first!!
i live in italy and i've buyed(but still not recieved) one oneplus 9r from china whit oxygenos rom on board..
When it comes i want to root & debloat it, but i've some queustion cause in last year i've used only device with custom rom!.
first of all i wan't to root the phone, but preserve the possibility to update the OS with ota. if i understand right it's possible with magisk, can please someone tell me the correct step to make?
after root i vant to uninstall not necessary app for my utilization (facebook/instagram/netflix, red cable and oneplus account, google app, gdrive, google photo and most of BigG apps cause i'm using only gmail/yt/maps/ an store!).
the question is.... if i uninstall this app it will be re installed in future ota?
Thanks in advice!
Step1 : unlock bootloader, this will wipe the storage, then setup the device once again then enable usb debugging in developer options.
You can use this
Tool to make (tool all in one) your life easier : https://sourceforge.net/projects/tool-all-in-one/files/TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE_1.0.6.1.zip/download
you should select 8t as 9r is not supported officially
at the moment.
Step2: update the phone to latest version , right now it's 11.2.5.5
Step 3: download the same version of the oxygen is ota wether from xda, OnePlus official site , oxygen updater ( make sure it is full version).
Step4: on pc now extract only the payload.bin file in the input of the payload extracter ,
Now use the payload extracter ,
Run .exe and get boot.img .
payload_dumper_tool_by_ius.zip
drive.google.com
(MAKE SURE THE PHONE OS VERSION AND BOOT IMG VERSION IS SAME)
Step 5: install magisk manager on phone, now patch the boot.img that you extracted earlier. Copy this patched boot.img in platforms tool folder(I hope that u have installed the platform tools and adb & fastboot ).
Step 6: open terminal there in platform tools , use the tool all in one to boot your phone in fast boot mode,then flash patched boot.img using.
Fastboot devices
Fastboot flash boot_a patched.img
Fastboot flash boot_b patched.img
Bingo got rooted.
Step 7( optional) : now properly restart the phone by opening magisk , then install universal safety net fix, debloat modules in magisk.
You can use lucky patcher to debloat unnecessary things (which don't exist as it is oxygen os)
Now in future if your phone gets ota make sure you disable all magisk modules then download the full version of ota from oxygen updater & update it locally & do not restart.
go to magisk ,
flash magisk to inactive slot.
restart now,
REnable the modules. (Tip don't enable the lucky patcher module this will put you in bootloop)
enjoy the ota .

Do you have instructions to install TWRP?
I even tried to read the thread on the 8t forum, but I didn't understand it very well.
So, 1st of all make sure u are on oos , then simply boot in to bootloader then flash this ofox img file , using the command
fastboot flash recovery name.img then boot into recovery it will ask u your screen lock, then flash this ofox zip file .
this or any recovery are in beta phase , everything works but not 100/100 times.
unzip this and flash the img cuz the img could not be uploaded
this will only work on oos not on any custom rom, uwill not require to format data
& trust me i am not a hacker

I've been looking on the magisk forums or some app but I haven't had success.
Yeah I actually use the Einstein font the font manager by androidacy seems to work for me.

What version of the module do you use? I tried with the last one (5.5.6) and the font doesn't seem to have been applied.

Hello sr
Have you updated your 9r for A12 ? If yes, how did you do it? Would it be possible to go from A11 (11.2.8.8) to A12 (C.33)?
Hi guys so Many users are facing issue while they are rooted and twrp installed on there phone.
They can't able to Flash update through stock settings OR via twrp if they tries to flash it via twrp manually facing no wifi and Bluetooth.
So here is the process to flash any incremental update via twrp just we need update zip, vbmeta image and boot image of old oos version respective to your new update means if. We are upgrading to V11 we need V10 boot img
U can use following commands to extract your current stock boot img after connecting to PC
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/sdc49 of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit
Note: Remember this process will replace your twrp and removes root to gain root access. We need to repeat twrp installation shown in the following tutorial
TUTORIAL TWRP AND ROOT NORD 2 OXYGEN OS 11 ( Links updated!)
SO finally I successfully rooted with TWRP and root access.thanks to all developers @Eastw1ng @TheMalachite Following are all download links combined in one post Also there are two threads like unlocking boot loader and twrp but there are some...
forum.xda-developers.com
You can gain root acess only by flashing magisk.zip file after step no 7 given under instructions but I didn't tested it yet.

good Instructions! Reboot after flashing boot.img isnt necessary. OTA Update zip can be downloaded within OTA App in Settings (do not press reboot). After downloading you can reboot to TWRP and the file location is: /data/OTA-package/update.zip.

Still trying to wrap my head around this (although updating worked fine from A11 to A12 on my EEA variant, thanks @pankspoo!).
Can I actually extract a stock boot.img from a Magisk-rooted phone? Is it stock (in which case why is root removed by the update.zip) or is it modified (in which case, why can I extract it as stock)?

Can I actually extract a stock boot.img from a Magisk-rooted phone? Is it stock (in which case why is root removed by the update.zip) or is it modified (in which case, why can I extract it as stock)?

You can use those adb commands while booted in TWRP, without being rooted. So you'll extract the stock boot image
