Magisk sytemless root. Unlock bootloader and it works flawlessjust unlock,but no custom for this device
what were you trying?if you can please locate the boot.img location for our phone and I can try rooting and telling you how I did it.Have you been able to get it to work?i just gave it a shot and it failed, multiple times.
I will try..ThanksMagisk sytemless root. Unlock bootloader and it works flawless
someone said they got magisk to work,but doesn't it need a custom recovery?
How'd it go,I was unable to unlock bootloader,haven't tried root as I've heard flashing root with adb will make the phone not boot if bootloader is still locked.I will try..Thanks
same thing happenening to me and calling asus doesn't help because they say that the majority of peeopl aren't having this issue.Already try but no luck,i cant unlock..unknown error..
So sad..
I think Asus fixed their ****,so basically I was able to flash the patched_boot.img now.At first it gave me the network error but every time I always tried again,eventually it gave me the no pin error even thought I had a pin.I tried several times with that too and sometimes it would reboot but not wipe anything,until I took away my pin and it immediately gave the no pin error and I tried again and it rebooted without wiping anything.I contacted asus support over the phone and on zentalk and they told me it was already unlocked.I tried flashing the patched boot image and it went through.I booted into the phone with no problems indicating boot loader was unlocked I think.then surprisingly I checked root with root checker and it came back saying I did have root. I guess they updated the unlock boot loader tool to make it not wipe anything.Already try but no luck,i cant unlock..unknown error..

It's easy enough to do dowload the firmware from their website,install the magisk manager apk.extract the firmware zip and locate boot.img file.copy it either onto a sdcard or select file transfer on your phone and transfer to your phone.AFter doing so go back in to the magisk manager apk you installed select install->patch boot image file->locate the boot.img file you copied let it patch.After it patches make note where it saves,copy that "patched-boot.img" back to your computer(into the adb folder)and inside adb folder hold shift key+right click then open a comman prompt window.type adb devices.Make sure usb debugging is enable in developer options after pressing build number 7 times.make sure your device is found after hitting enter on adb devices.type adb reboot bootloader.after your phone reboot into fastboot mode(ther'll be a llittle word on the bottom left of your phone screen)main screen will be powered by android rest is black.now type fastboot devices to make sure your device is seen.and then type fasboot flash boot "patched-boot.img".Then you'll be rooted.Make sure you unlock bootloader with their tool first.Please post your patched_boot.img if you successfully root our Max Plus sir.. thanks...
