[ROOT] [MAGISK] (Without Recovery) Root your device with MAGISK Without Recovery
- Thread starter Aquib132
- Start date
How'd you do it?
After following the instructions, the C21 refused to boot. It remained in orange state, bootlooping.
How'd you root your C21?
i have a locked bootloader and have no way to unlock it, can i use this method to root my phone?
Hi,
I have a tecno spark 4 air (MT6761) android 9
I have made a backup using miracle thunder.
Unlocked bootloader
Flashed an empty vbmeta
Installed latest magisk (23) and launched install and pointed to the boot.bin created with miracle thunder, tried preserve... On/off, recovery on/off. Flashed the modified boot.img in fastboot. But didn't work. I got no error messages. But root checker says no root.
Magisk says : ramdisk no, Sam yes, a/b no.
Can't find a custom recovery, tried hovatek recovery maker but didn't work.

Hi all, I am attempting my first root (ever) using Magisk on an Android DAP (music player).
I don't see any recovery rom for this device (Shanling M3X) so I am going to attempt this using the method without twrp. I have downloaded everything (including fastboot and ADB), and found a link containing the stock OS for my device. I just want to ask, normally how big should the boot.img be? I found that in the zip folder containing the firmware, the boot.img is only about 25 mb, while there is a .dat file at about 1.2 gb, which I suspect should be the normal size for stock firmware.
But since I am so new to this, I just want to confirm, does it look like the smaller boot.img is the correct file to flash with Magisk? I would appreciate any help.
The purpose of rooting my device is to install JamesDSP which is only possible under root, since my Android device is 7.1.1.
Thank you very much.
EDIT: Also it looks to me like I can somehow (as an alternative) make a request somewhere here in XDA for a custom TWRP recovery file for my device. If this is the correct way to go can I would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
Here is the link for the firmware. Thanks!

32Hello Everyone,
This is my first tutorial here.
So, any mistakes should be reminded in the thread.
==================================================
Guide for rooting with MAGISK==================================================
This guide is for those devices for which currently there is no custom recovery available. So, don't be sad instead have MAGISK Root for your device and and sleep well.:angel:
Note - USE THIS GUIDE ON YOUR OWN. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU END UP BRICKING YOUR DEVICES.
BETTER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
==================================================
REQUIREMENTS -
1 - An Android 5.0+ device
2 - PC with working ADB
3 - Stock boot image (boot.img) of your device
4 - Magisk Manager app
5 - A good file browser like Mixplorer, Solid explorer etc..
6 - Active Internet connection
7 - Active mind and patience.
==================================================
Step 1: Patching the stock boot.img
- Install MagiskManager apk on your android device
- Copy the stock boot.img of your device to your phone's internal storage or SD card
- Launch Magisk Manager app
- If prompted to install Magisk, select NO THANKS
- If you are using a samsung device and wish to flash using Odin, then select Options > Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format > img.tar )
- Select Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File >
Navigate to the location of the stock boot.img you copied earlier on, then Select it
-Magisk Manager should begin downloading the magisk zip file used for patching
-Once download is complete, MagiskManager will automatically patch the boot file and store it under SDcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Step 2: Flashing the patched boot.img
You have a variety of options to flash the patched boot.img depending on your chipset (e.g Mediatek MTK, Spreadtrum SPD, Qualcomm QLM etc ), the resources you have and your skills. Note that some flashing methods might require you to rename the file to boot.img
- For those using MTK devices and have the specific scatter file for their device, you can flash the patched boot.img using SP flash tool or Miracle Box
-For those using SPD devices and have the PAC file for their device, you can flash the patched boot.img using Research download tool by replacing the stock boot.img with your patched boot.img
- For those using Samsung devices and then use ODIN to flash.
-You could also use Fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img or boot.img (if you've renamed then the command must reflect the file name) as outlined below
How to Flash patched_boot.img using Fastboot
-Setup adb and fastboot on your PC.
-Unlock the phone's Bootloader (if its not unlocked)
-Re-enable USB debugging on the phone
-Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord
-Boot into fastboot mode.
-Flash the patched_boot and reboot by typing in the commands below into adb CMD prompt window and hitting Enter after each line -
-Verify root using Root Checker

Hi, the best way is to flash a custom recovery beforehand. But if you can't find you can go for this method but bootloader must be UNLOCKED. And also if anything goes wrong even if the bootloader is UNLOCKED , the phone will only be soft brick not hard brick. But the best thing will be a custom recovery method.1A7 2017 (Android 8)
So i have an a7 2017 with android oreo or know as 8.0.0. So i want to flash the patched boot image with odin. How do i do that? Like i understand you need oem unlocked but where do you flash it specifically in odin?1Use ADB and the push command.. Be careful what you type.. This thing is a ***** to get the first time.. I wish you good luck

Remember one other thing.. Sammy can not use Fastboot.. It's not that it's bad.. But it just won't in most cases.. Try CROM first to unlock the bootloader
