Question [answered] Is a P11 Pro TB-J706F rootable if running Android 11?

[enderffx]

Hello!
I just received my P11 pro and started to look for root methods.
I always found "recipes" for Android 10, not Android 11.
So: should i refrain from updating the P11 pro to Android 11 (and possibly latest & greatest version) in order to be able to root it later?

Or is rooting even possible with latest OS versions running Android 11?

Thanks for help

Possible on any version (Global or ZUI, A10 or A11) Procedure is same, tools is same. TWRP working. For unlocking ZUI needed sn.img in my case.

Hello,
thank you for assuring me, will update then and taking time on the weekend to get rooted

Good luck! Ask me if you will have any problems

Well,
there is some uncertainty in my mind which guide to follow to not loose Widewine / Google Pay capabilities, so if you have a "best root guide ever, housewife compatible" link i'd be glad


Thanks!

Ha-ha, "housewife compatible" you are joker.
Sorry, I not use GP and Netflix, nothing to say. Probably, Magisk have some module for GPay fix. Widevine is hard thing, no 100% solution.

Well, lets see, i don't have to hurry, i will read up.
Yes i saw that that some needed to "recover" Widevine by magisk...

Thx!

Here you go
You have to unlock the bootloader
1. Enable OEM unlock in developers settings
2. Reboot in bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
3. Enter

fastboot flashing unlock

and answer yes when you're ready
WARNING: UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOU DEVICE!!!!!
4. Run LMSA/RSA rescue to update your ROM as well as grab boot to patch
5. Do initial setup. DO NOT RESTORE
6. Install Magisk and patch boot.img copied from your host computer, and copy the patched_boot back
7. Enter fastbootd

adb reboot fastboot

8. Flash patched_boot
9. Reboot and add riru and safety net fix on Magisk (you have to reboot 2-3 times)
10. Run safety net check and it should pass. If not, enable Magisk Hide and try again
11. Wipe Play Store and Google Play Services and reboot
12. Restore and add app onto hide list if the app detected root

@mingkee
Thank you for the great "recipe".
So i assume passing the safety net check also guaranteeds to keep Widevine L1?

I'm trying to connect my PS3 controller to Bluetooth and I guess my device has to be rooted (I've never done this to any of my devices but I do have an idea how to go about the adb method and use a host computer...I think). How do you patch the boot.img?
