→ See how to flash guide for MTK Androids here
⨳ If you instead got boot.img from your device via backup using the video guide above, then after backing up, copy boot.img to device storage.
Next, you will have to setup adb & fastboot download it from the link above. then install. It will create a folder named adb in you local disk C:\.
You will have to proceed as follows after obtaining boot.img;
- Patch boot.img
- Flash boot.img
Patching boot image of your stock rom
To patch the boot.img, this is where magisk manager apk comes in. Download Magisk manager from the link in the download section and proceed thus;
- Copy the downloaded magisk manager into your device if you downloaded from PC,
- Install magisk manager app
- Open the app and click on install, then select patch boot image. (Note your device needs to be connected to the internet)
- Grant magisk manager access to phone storage, locate and select the boot image file you copied to your phone earlier,
- Magisk Manager will now download Magisk zip and patch your boot image file. The patched boot image will be saved as patched_boot.img in the magisk manager folder.
- Now you are done with patching your stock boot image file.
Flashing patched_boot.img
To flash the modified boot image file, we will be using the fastboot method. You will first of all need to activate usb debugging on your device by going to settings >> About Phone >> build number then tap on it until you get the message "you are now a developer"
Then head back to settings to find the Developer option. Under developer option, turn it on and activate OEM UNLOCK & USB DEBUGGING.
Next, connect your device to the computer and allow the adb drivers to install.
Next in your Computer, go to C: \ADB, copy patched_boot.img to this folder, then press hold SHIF then right-click and choose open a new command window here.
Use the following codes to flash patched_boot.img
- adb devices [when you get connection authorization request, grant]
- adb reboot bootloader [boots your phone in fastboot or bootloader mode]
- fastboot devices [check device connection in fastboot mode]
- fastboot oem unlock [unlock bootloader]
- fastboot flashing unlock [unlock flashing from fastboot]
- fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img [flash modified boot image]
- fastboot reboot
Once you are done executing the above commands, if all was done properly, your phone should now reboot with magisk installed and root access available.
NB: If you prefer flashing with sp flash tool, then you need to rename the patched_boot.img to boot.img and then copy and replace the one in your backup rom. Open sp flash tool load scatter but select only the boot.img and flash.
