Requirements:
- Unlocked Bootloader On Nubia Red Magic 3 (NX629J): https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/how-to/guide-unlocking-red-magic-3s-bootloader-t3935630

- TWRP HERE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-nubia-red-t3962482 (CHINESE ROM ONLY)

- Latest Magisk stable zip transferred to your phone's storage (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
- Charge the Nubia Red Magic to at least 50%.
- You need a USB cable to connect your phone to PC.

ADB Drivers for your PC

STEPS TO INSTALL TWRP (READ EVERYTHING CAREFUL BEFORE ATTEMPTING):

1) Enable the Developer Options
- To Enable Developer Options, Go to your Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More -> Now Tap on the Build Number 10 Times until you see a toast message “Developer options enabled“

2) Go back to settings -> Now you need to enable the OEM Unlock by going to Settings -> Developer Options and check the box for OEM Unlock and USB Debugging

3) Connect your phone to Computer using USB Cable to a USB 2.0 port.

4) Open a command prompt window on your computer and type: "adb devices"

5) You will see a pop up window on your phone to allow USB debugging on your phone. Click ok.

6) Now type the commannd "adb reboot bootloader"

7) Once your phone has rebooted into it's bootloader, type in the pc command prompt "fastboot devices". This will list the devices connected, your phone should show up.

8) Then, to flash twrp, enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0528-NUBIA_REDMAGIC3-CN-wzsx150.img" in the command prompt.

9) Finally reboot into the twrp recovery from the phone menu after twrp is installed. Rebooting your phone will reflash Nubia's recovery if you dont do so after flashing.

10) Once in twrp, go to install, navigate to where you put the magisk zip, and install it.

12) Reboot your phone.

Ugh, seems the twrp only works on the Chinese version, not the global version. Will leave the link up with a note.

    So If I switch from Global NA Rom to CN Rom which has more features anyway. Then fastboot TWRP, Flash Magisk Root....couldn't I just flash Open Gapps Nano on CN Rom and debloat with root and be good to go?

    This method worked for me no problem. Except it only let me install Gapps pico due to insufficient space on the partition.

    A word of warning for those wanting to do this: after a couple of days my screen would start to lock immediately after unlocking with face, fingerprint etc. Leaving it pretty much unusable..even after rebooting repeatedly. Eventually figured out that whenever Google/Gmail would notify via status bar it killed the screen. So after rebooting I had only a matter of seconds to go and disable notifications for Gmail. After a while I would toggle them back on and it would work, but a day later the same thing happened. I'm thinking this happens whenever Gmail updates. Wondering if anyone else experienced the same.

    So after flashing TWRP in guide have to "fastboot boot recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0528-NUBIA_REDMAGIC3-CN-wzsx150.img" then you can unplug from PC....if you do not boot into TWRP stock recovery will overwrite it.
