Root N10 using Magisk

[HoopyFreud]

Yep. Automatic updates are disabled (and besides it can't apply the update with root installed). I can manually initiate the update just fine, but I haven't been able to control the reboot since 11.0.11.

E: see #479 in this thread

I wish I could help more..
Well, at least we don't lose our data when we use "fastboot boot" for root!
Good luck, though!

By the way, I've tested a TWRP version posted by @EduardoA3677 (thanks a lot, man!) which allows us to use a version of TWRP which DOES have decryption support and I've gotta say -- It's working!

I tried to flash Magisk on my phone with it and It worked! (I know, we should use the boot image way and NOT try to flash through custom recovery.)

I also tried to uninstall it and it also worked.

Although, I don't know how to flash a GSI with TWRP..

I'm looking for the "default.prop" file or the "sbin" directory. Why are they not in the boot image?
I extraced the boot image with

magiskboot unpack boot_11.0.13.BE86AA.img
magiskboot cpio ramdisk.cpio extract

but I found neither of the files.

I've got to

fastboot boot patched.img

, my phone restarts but enters recovery mode, I'm I doing something wrong? console says:

Sending 'boot.img' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 2.441s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.105s]
Finished. Total time: 2.630s

I've got to

fastboot boot patched.img

, my phone restarts but enters recovery mode, I'm I doing something wrong? console says:

Try to re-download.
What happens if you try the unpatched image?

I redownloaded, but now it keeps rebooting to recovery and no way to boot normal. If I boot the unpatched image the phone reboots normally again

Do you have the GLO or EU variant?

Hey man!
Please give info on what your installed OOS version is. (or was when you flashed a custom GSI).

@mouseracer, @andreas__ I really appreciate your help.

I'm on BE2029, GLO variant, I flashed already the GSI but I'm almost sure I had the latest version installed (BE86AA 11.0.13 ?) thats what I'm trying to flash.

in adb shell: su; logcat | grep "ota" and find the download link

I lost my temporary root during OTA because it automatically restarted. I'm trying to extract/find download link for OTA 11.0.14.BE86AA. When I enter the code, I get "'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

When I enter the code, I get "'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

That's because you didn't run the command while your device was in an adb shell

Thanks, the command now runs, but it doesn't go back far enough to show the download link.

You can try to "fastboot boot" a different patched kernel and hope it boots.

Then, backup the correct boot partition to get the image.

I did it like this before, it may require a little bit advanced knowledge: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-n10-using-magisk.4197369/post-88197475

I am currently on vacation and also have a GSI installed, hence i cannot provide the images myself.
Good luck!

Hey @andreas__ ,
I am currently on Stock for reasons and am trying to take the boot img via the dd method.
However, it keeps stating that bugsreport is NOT a directory.

Hang on, am using payload dumper and am getting something..

 

[mouseracer]

ALRIGHT!!
It's finally done. Had to do some weird bull-s***tery but it finally worked for me.

Didn't use payload_dumper/dd method. Still finally got it.

Here's the official magisk patched boot image for BE86AA
Also, here's the unpatched boot image for BE86AA OOS 11.0.14

[ NOTE: THE FOLLOWING BE86AA BOOT IMG FILES HAVE COME FROM A FACTORY RESETTED OOS 11.0.14 NORD N10. ]

But yes, in lieu of @andreas__ being on vacation (hope you have fun, @andreas__ ! ) and him also being on a GSI, I've provided the following zips.

Enjoy!

Edit #1: For @Some_Random_Username , I've also added the BE89BA Patched Image as well.

Thank you, but my unit is not rooted

 

[mouseracer]

Alright, then. xD
Still gonna keep it up though for other BE89BA users.
