I don't have this phone anymore, but I found this website. I don't know if the files work. {Mod edit: Link removed - Oswald Boelcke, Moderator} If this works for you or you found another source, please let me know and I'll add to the OP.

You can relock the bootloader by installing a raw firmware (link in OP). But it will not restore OTA updates.

Try copying the firmware to the root directory of the phone and then reboot.

Thank you! I have updated the OP with a note about updating the firmware with the root directory method.

No advantage, but good to know that there is another option if adb sideload doesn't work.

Cool! So you're using the patch method, but instead of using adb to sideload the update, you copied the firmware to the root folder. So just step 5 in the OP didn't work, correct?

Try this version of Magisk Manager: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81096219&postcount=431 The TWRP method has issues. One is that it only works for one firmware version. You'll not be able to use it for future updates. So you would have to wait for a new TWRP to be built before you can...

Has anyone tried Magisk Manager v7.5.0 with the Pie firmware? Please let us know if it works. (I no longer have this phone to test) Thanks!

I don't have the phone anymore. Will not work: fastboot boot patched_boot.img Should work: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img The steps in the OP should work for you. Use the unofficial build of Magisk Manager 4.7.1. Keep your original boot.img so if there are any problems you can flash...

I believe at the moment that only this unofficial 4.7.1 build works. https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone/how-to/guide-root-t3865490/post81096219#post81096219

It has and works, but the TWRP is dependant on the firmware version. The next time there is an update, you'll have to wait for someone to make a new TWRP to apply the update. The other method doesn't have this issue.

You can flash the unpatched boot.img or install the raw firmware. Note that the boot.img or patched_boot.img must be from the same version of firmware that is installed on the phone. Make sure you use the side usb port on your phone. Did you use Magisk Manager 7.4.1? There could also be a...

That was a different user. I would try the OP method first with 7.4.1. The problem with the TWRP is that it is firmware dependent and will only work with the latest firmware. So when there is another update, you'll have to wait for someone to make another TWRP. With the OP method, you won't...
