Requirements / Downloads
Honor 10 view BKL-09 with unlocked bootloader (I not tested in other version)
Minimal ADB & Fastboot
Patched Recovery_Ramdisk BKL
Rooting your device
1. Unzip Minimal ADB & Fastboot to any folder of your PC
2. Download the patched file for your device and copy it to Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder.
3. Start your smartphone in fastboot mode pressing [Vol-]+[Power] and connect it to your PC.
4. Open a Powershell window in your Minimal ADB & Fastboot folder by [Shift]+[Rightclick].
5. Flash the Recovery_Ramdisk:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk name_of_your_patched_file.img
Adjusting Magisk Manager and patching files by yourself
1. Download Magisk Manager canary build to your phone and install.
2. Change in Magisk settings the update channel to "custom" inserting this URL. https://t2m.io/wuAFCrwO
Magisk Manager now will find the canary builds.
3. Check "force encryption" and "AVB 2.0" boxes.
To patch yourself recovery_ramdisk:
4.a) Patch your *.img, that you have copied in any folder to your smartphone by pressing "Install" --> "Install" --> "Patch boot image" in Magisk Manager.
ORIGINAL RECOVERY_RAMDISK BKL-09 PIE version 9.0.0.162 C432
5. Transfer the patched file (You will find it in your download folder of your smartphone. It will be called "patched_boot.img".) to your PC, start Smartphone in fastboot mode and flash:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk name_of_your_patched_file.img
(You must adapt the file name to the real name of your file, e.g. patched_boot.img)
To actualize Magisk:
4.b) Choose in Magisk Manager: "Install" --> "Install" --> "Direct Install (Recommended)" --> Restart

Flash in bootloader mode. Not in twrp.
Android pie not work with twrp for now.
I am on ROOTED EMUI 8.0 (BKL-L09 8.0.0.130). How do I update to pie and then root? First unroot than update than root? or just update and root with the instructions in post#1?
Sadly it does not work for me. Tried it with your patches bootimage and with my own. Flashing the ramdisk works fine but after restart I don't have root.
I dont need Magisk installed if I use the pre patches bootimage right? Nevertheless I tried with Magisk installed and without. In the Huawei Mate Forum I read that one might need to shutdown the phone after flashing and then to start it with Volume Up and Power Button pressed. But this also does not work. Or any Idea how exactly to start with this Key combination?
Any other suggestions?
Today I updated from OREO with root to PIE same version as you have in pictures 9.0.0.162(C432E4R1P9). Tried both steps (with your patched file and me patching file) to root my phone but even I always got OK in fastboot mode I still have no root
Hello,
Sadly applying the guide does't not work for me to. I tried with the given patched bootimage and with my own one. When flashing the ramdisk image in fastboot mode, i got this error :

Worked like a breeze for me. Shoutout to @ante0 and @shashank1320 who kept their calm in guiding me through and suggesting me this method.
@ante0 made things easier for me and it worked excellently for me. The steps are-
Download and install Magisk canary builds from the mentioned link. Change in Magisk settings the update channel to "custom" inserting*this*URL.*https://t2m.io/wuAFCrwO
Magisk Manager now will find the canary builds.
Check "force encryption" and "AVB 2.0" boxes.
Transfer stock recovery ramdisk to phone, open Magisk Mnager and hit install - > patch boot image, select recovery_ramdisk.img. Take patched_boot.img from /sdcard/Download/ and transfer to computer, reboot to fastboot and flash patched_boot.img to recovery_ramdisk. Unplug USB, holv vol up + power to reboot to recovery, which will now boot phone with Magisk. If you reboot and don't hold vol up it will boot to system without root.

Emui9 doesn't have a ramdisk partition. You flash to recovery_ramdisk, then when you reboot hold volume up to get to recovery (unplug USB as it will take you to erecovery if you have it plugged in).
This is the only way to get root on Emui9, currently.
It will not boot to recovery, it will boot to system with Magisk.
Not flash ramdisk. Need flash recovery_ramdisk!
worked, thanks

@ante0 has been helping me get root access and we still are working on it.
@fabio84 did you by a chance experience issues in using root applications especially root explorer or root Uninstaller? For some reason they won't just work for me, just titanium and root checker works. On further scrutinising, I found the su binary files missing probably why the applications won't load for me. Any help?

Update: @ante0 helped me yet again to figure it out. Apparently was because of pie's aggressive background restrictions. Root is now working full fledgedly. Thanks everyone. Big cheers to @ante0

Here's how to root the Pixel 3 running on official and stock Android 10 release, step by step :
(not tested on Pixel 3 XL but it might work the same, just use the right firmware for your device)
What do you need :
> Pixel 3 phone with Android 10
> Unlocked bootloader on your Pixel device
> Latest ADB and FASTBOOT tools on your computer
1 ) Download the latest Android 10 factory image for your device ("Blueline" is the regular Pixel 3) :
Link > Android 10 factory image
2 ) Extract the "boot.img" file on your phone
3 ) Download latest Magisk Manager application on your phone and install it :
Link > https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
4 )Press on the Install Magisk button (the one on the top, not the Magisk Manager), then Install > Select and Patch a File and now select the Boot.img file you extracted earlier. When the process is done, just put the patched boot.img file on your computer in the same folder as your ADB and FASTBOOT tools, the file's name is magisk_patched
5 ) Enable adb debugging on your Pixel phone and connect it to your computer via USB.
Open a command prompt on your computer and migrate to the folder where the ADB and Fastboot tools are located.
(for exemple, for me it's : cd C:\\adb).
7 ) Reboot your phone to fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader
8 ) Flash the Boot.img you just patched with magisk by typing fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
9 ) When i'ts done, reboot by typing fastboot reboot
10 ) Open your Magisk Manager app and chek if everything is good, and it should be ! You can now install Adaway after you enable Systemless root in the Magisk settings and rebooting your phone.
Note that this guide is actually for using adaway. I don't know if it will work for any other root related feature on your phone.
Great guide, thanks!

I would just add not to forget to reboot again after enabling Systemless hosts in the Magisk settings and before installing Adaway (or after installing any other module)

I get a "This site can't be reached" message when I click the link for magisk manager in step 3. Not sure if anyone else sees it.
Thank you for making this guide!
Thanks, works perfectly!
I think my boot.img was not patched successfully. The original file has 64 mb while the patched one has only 30 mb. I've already pdated to Android 10. When I try to path the boot.img I get the following error: FAILED (remote: Not allowed to flash (bootb))
Could anyone please send me his patched boot.img?

Don't worry the new patched boot.img is 30mb, that's absolutely normal. Make sure you have unlocked your bootloader and that your phone's firmware matches the one you used to extract the boot.img. And also make sure your files are all in the same folder (adb and fastboot files + patched boot.img) and, most important of all, check if your platform tools (adb and fastboot) are up to date, then tell us if you managed to make it work.
If I updated via ota adb side load to 10. But used the boot.img from the factory image, would this explain why it did boot, however not one app would start. The system ui would then crash. Just trying to figure out where I screwed up. Thank you.

Thanks man Everything was right but I forgot to update adb and fastboot. Now I have root
ignore me -- im idiot.
i am not sure if my pixel 3 is really rooted. all the apps requiring root says they are granted root access, but, for example, i cannot modify system files with a root file manager at all unlike i could with android 9. how can i confirm it is surely rooted?
So I have a problem, maybe someone can help me with.
Back in March I made the following post:
"I was running on the original September Update since I got the phone, I used this guide when I first rooted https://www.xda-developers.com/googl...r-root-magisk/
Today I decided it was time to update so I used this guide https://www.xda-developers.com/flash...-google-pixel/
Then I wanted to reroot my phone. So I bootet the TWRP image and flashed the magisk 18.1 zip. But after that I softbricked my phone and it wouldn't boot anymore.
So in my panic I flashed the TWRP zip and my phone worked again, but now everytime I try to flash the magsik zip the same thing happens, bootloop and back to flashing twrp.zip. "
After that didn't work, I tried flashing the magisk uninstaller, through twrp, but it exited with "Error 1" everytime. (Running TWRP 3.3.0)
So i decided to give up, because I had some personal stuff to take care of, but after Android 10 came out yesterday, I decided to give this another go.
I flashed the factory image without "-w" and everything is working fine. So today I followed this guide, double checked everything but after I flash the patched boot image I get stuck with a bootloop again... I can flash back the original boot image and everything works so it's not a huge deal, but right now I can't use google pay, because it says I'm rooted.
Any idea what I could do? Can't run the uninstaller and can't reroot... ???
thanks!
Have you checked if your patched boot.img matches the firmware on your phone?
Well it's the same one I used to flash the firmware.
I flashed yesterday without an issue and today I loaded that boot.img onto my phone, used the canary magisk manager to patch it and then transfered it back to my PC to flash it.
Edit: I'm thinking this might have to do with the fact that I couldn't uninstall magisk before.
I went back to Pie because Viper4Android doesn't work on 10. No matter what version. The Legacy version I usually use keeps asking me to install the driver like it had on previous phones when installs were borked.

I had it working before I bodged a magisk module install
No luck here. The steps SEEM to work perfectly. Flashed the modified boot image, booted up fine, but magisk says it's still not installed. No root.
- Latest magisk canary
- Used the same firmware
- No errors anywhere along the way
Hey Mac users, I had to use the command fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
To get the patched image over to my phone. It worked out great. I was able to reboot,
and see the root in Magisk Manager.
YMMV
Thanks, worked like a charm on Linux with latest platform-tools! I thought I'd have to wait a lot longer to get root back on my device.
I have also tried this multiple times. No errors, but I can't edit system files or add modules.
Hi,
I'm trying to root the tablet. Unfortunately so far without success. I have tried several rooting tools (Desktop and Tablet App).
What promised most success is Magisk. It is also known that it works with Android 9. I copied the bootimage on the tablet from the stock-ROM, patched the image with the latest Magisk-APP (7.5.1) (Magisk 20.3 (20300)). Then back to the PC, and with fastboot written to the boot partition. After unlock the partition, this was possible. After a restart, however, the tablet will remain on the boot logo. Original stock-ROM on it again, tablet runs again (no boot loop).
Then I looked at the image sizes. The original is 16,385 kB. However, the patched Magisk file is only 7,148 kB. That can't really be, can it?
Does anyone have an idea of what this can be, or what I'm wrong about?
Thank you for your help.

Seems like Magisk Manager is not able to patch the boot.img properly.
The size of patched image is never lesser than the original boot image.
Try patching your boot image using an older version of Magisk Manager.
HIT THANKS IF FOUND USEFUL

Thank you Augustoandro, but unfortunately I can't use an older version. Since I want to run my device with magic, I only have to install the apk. If I take an older one here, I will only get to the patch buttons when the app is updated.
So this proposal does not help.
Perhaps it is also because the 7305F does not seem to have the partitions set up as usual. If I want to make a BackUp using the tool "MTKdroidTools 2.5.3" (screenshot), it means that the partition structure does not fit and no backup is possible. A root with the tool is also not possible.
Is there another idea?
For more information:
CPU MT8321 (32bit), Memory 1/16GB, kernel 4.9.117+ (#25.10.2019)
I was able to patch the file with magisk and flash the

You have to root by means of Magisk: Magisk itself doesn't root the Android.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for not being clear here: I get "Magisk is not installed" info in magisk manager after flashing the magisk patched boot img in fastboot mode.
I have found the way to install MAGISK. You have to install MAGISK to the recovery.img. Then start in Recovery-mode and the system will boot to the normal System with installed MAGISK. Works perfect to me.
Some more information. There is an update named TB-7305F_100049_200508_ROW. After you have update to this release, you haven't MAGISK installed and you are not able to reinstall MAGISK. Also, when you get the original recovery from the version it is not possible. As well, I have tested to use the working recovery from the prerelease with the newest release, this also don't possible. For me the only working release is the TB-7305F_100043_200223.
If someone flash a later version that woks, please let know here!

Yes, recovery is the way to go. I have figured it after reading this:
topjohnwu - install.html#boot-image-patching
As I have X model, TB-7305X_S100043_200224_ROW and TB_7305X_S100062_200610_ROW was the ROM that worked. Cool thing is that you can get roms from lenovo with "Rescue and smart assistant" app.
The trick that makes magisk rooted all the time is to choose 'reset phone' after rooting. This would cause the tablet to start with root each time.

What do you mean with reset? When MAGISK is in recovery, the only way to start is in the recovery-mode. Then you have ever MAGISK working when it is installed!?!
Today I have seen, that there is a new version for the "F" model. TB_7305F_S100055_200703_ROW. I will test and report!
How do I pull the Recovery.img from this tablet in the first place? Please help. Thanks.
Hi. I am trying to manage root without twrp for a couple of days. I picked up the solution with recovery.
I've tried to flash root to recovery with magisk patched recovery.img via fastboot. But the .img size is to large (is texted in fastboot). By the way i was curious after magisk patching cause the patched .img file has the same size as the original .img file. I downloaded twrp port tool and ported recovery.img and got a recovery.img with a smaller size so i was able to flash it via fastboot. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot reboot.
Device is booting to Lenovo splash screen with the warning that the device is unlocked and boot in 5s. Could wait forever. After 2min pushed vol+, Lenovo Banner starts to flip and it booted to system.
But no root.
Reboot.
Boot with key combo
Hold Vol+ and power, released as lenovo splash with the warning appears. Nothing happend.
Pushed vol+. Nothing happened. It stuck at splash.
After that i could not boot the device with power key anymore. It stays at splash every time i rebooted.I had to reboot to recovery and do rebooting to system from recovery.
From bootloader i was able to boot to system also.
I like to flash magisk patched boot.img via fastboot but magisk doesn't make the .img file smaller.
I tried with sp flash tool but after patching the img is not signed anymore soflash tool doesn't flash it.
So that is my state for now.

Hi all,
I want to remove all of the google apps from my tablet 7305F in a bid to save ram, adb does most of the trick. can even uninstall play store, but the google play services com.google.android.gms is very hard to disable, keeps popping a "play services has stopped" message frequently.
till now I was able to free upto 50 % ram using this trick only its annoying that the play services message keeps popping.

.....Install twrp and root rights, it's not difficult. You can then do whatever is needed
I rooted my Lenovo M7 (TB-7305X) the folling way
On a PC Get and Install LMSA "Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistan"
* Using LMSA do a recovery, this way you are sure you have al the drivers working and that you have a correct rom
On the Tabled enabled developer mode
* enable remote debugging
* enable oem unlocking
Unlock the bootloader using fastboot
(you will find adb and fastboot in the location where LMSA was installed)
P.S. this will erase of data on your tablet
* adb reboot-bootloader
* fastboot flashing unlock
* fastboot reboot
PS tablet well be in orange state (because the bootloader is unlocked)
* android boots
On the tablet create a rooted boot.img using magisk
* download and install the latest magisk.apk
* look for boot.img (boot.img_verified) the ROW downloaded by LMSA (some where in c:\programdata)
* uplad the boot.img to the tablet
* start magisk and patch the boot.img file
* download the patched boot.img
On the PC start MTK_Flash tool
P.S. this will erase of data on your tablet
* open the download tab
* the download agent should be set by default (MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin)
* select the scater file (from the LMSA rom directory)
* deselct all files except BOOTIMG
* change the location of the BOOTIMG and select the pached boot.img
Flash boot.img by clicking download
Rooting instructions for TB_7305X (Should be the same for TB_7305F using TB-7305X_S100043_200223_ROW)
Install Rescue and Smart Assistant from Lenovo
Start Rescue and download latest ROM
Replace the latest ROM files from C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles\TB_7305X_S1000xx_xxxxxx_ROW with the ones from TB-7305X_S100043_200224_ROW
Can be downloaded from:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_M7/TB-7305X/
Rescue the device as per the RSA instructions
Install latest Magisk
Upload recovery-verified.img from the TB-7305X_S100043_200224_ROW ROM to the Internal Shared Storage of the device in Download directory
Run Magisk Manager
Patch the recovery-verified.img with magisk
Copy the newly created magisk_patched-xxxxxxxx.img file in Downloads to C:\Program Files (x86)\Rescue and Smart Assistant and rename to magisk_patched.img
It will later be used to flash the device after unlocking
Enable developer mode on the device
From developer options enable:
OEM Unlocking (needs Internet connection)
USB Debugging
Start cmd and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Rescue and Smart Assistant directory
adb reboot bootloader
Wait for reboot. You will see “=> FASTBOOT mode …” message when ready
fastboot.exe flashing unlock
Press volume up key to confirm
fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched.img
disconnect USB cable
press volume-up+volume-down+power buttons to switch off the tablet
press volume-up+volume-down+power buttons to switch on the tablet in Recovery mode
When Lenovo logo appears release the buttons.
Wait several minutes. Do not give up, do not restart. It takes time.
Reconfigure device
Enable USB Debugging
Disable System updates
Reinstall Magisk
Your device is rooted.
Whenever you want to use it in rooted mode you have to switch to recovery mode
The normal mode calls boot.img where magisk is not installed and the device will not be rooted.
You may proceed with removing Orange mode 5 sec wait message. Instructions available on the Internet.
If at some point the device writs back the original Recovery mode just reflash with magisk patch recovery-verified.
Hi,
I would like to root my Lenovo TB-7305F as well. The file I have leased from Magisk generates "size is too large" in fastboot. This problem has been written by others. I have compared the original filesize and the patched filesize. They are identical. Exactly to the byte. I did it exactly as greenbul describes. However, he uses the 7305X and I use the 7305F.
Also the SP tool cannot upload this patched file.
I have the 1GB 7305F model.
Do you have any idea?
Many thanks
Andreas

Before rooting, you'll need an unlocked bootloader. Check my previous guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/x3...ck-bootloader-realme-x3-t4136325/post83109505.
After unlocking, we can get started with rooting.
First, you'll want to install Magisk Manager. You can find the latest APK here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk/releases.
Next, you'll need to download the latest OTA OZIP. There's a link at the end of the post for this.
While that's downloading, you'll also need to grab a copy of an OZIP extractor. Follow the link below, download the repository as a ZIP, and unzip it.
For this program to work, you'll need Python 3 installed. On Linux systems, it should already be installed. On Windows 10, you can install Python from the Store.
Open a terminal or CMD window and cd to where you extracted the OZIP extractor files.
Use pip to install the docopt module: "pip3 install docopt".
Once the OZIP has finished downloading, move it to the same folder as the extractor program.
Run the following command: "python3 ozipdecrypt.py NAME_OF_OZIP_FILE". This will take a while!
Once it's done extracting, there will be a ZIP file with the same name as the OZIP. We only need two files from here: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
Extract those two files to the same folder as the extractor program.
Copy the boot.img file to your device.
Open Magisk Manager and choose the "INSTALL" option next to the Magisk status. Tap "INSTALL" in the dialog that appears and then choose "Select and Patch a File."
Browse to where you copied your boot.img to and select it. Magisk will now patch it and create a file named magisk_patched.img in your Download folder. Copy magisk_patched.img back to your computer.
Reboot your phone into fastboot: "adb reboot bootloader". If you don't have ADB or fastboot installed (which you should, since you needed them for the previous guide), you can find the link in the bootloader unlocking guide.
Before you flash the patched boot image, you need to disable image verification, which is where the vbmeta.img comes in.
Run "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification" (remember, you'll probably need to unplug and replug the device after hitting Enter). This will disable boot verification and allow the patched image to actually work.
Finally, run "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img". This will flash the rooted boot image to your device.
Run "fastboot reboot" and let the phone boot back into the system. Check Magisk Manager and you should now be rooted!
Troubleshooting:
If you get an error that the boot image was "destroyed," don't worry. You'll just need to flash the stock boot.img and try again. Unplug your phone from your computer and wait for it to turn off. Once the screen is black, hold down VOL-DWN and PWR to enter fastboot mode. You can then run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (where boot.img is the stock image) to restore. Reboot, then try the vbmeta and patched image flashing again.
You can get the OTA OZIPs from Realme EU's site: https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update.
You can get an OZIP extractor from here: https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt. (NOTE: you'll need to install the "docopt" Python module.)
OZIPs contain a boot.img, which you can extract and patch with Magisk for root. If someone else has an idea for patching Magisk into the boot.img, this is where to start.
Here's my patched boot.img for A.32. I don't recommend using this on other versions: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=315334
Could you share your patched boot.img for the latest OS version? And could you check if the aux magisk module from X2 pro works to activate all aux cameras in Gcam? Thanks
Patched boot image
Thanks Zacharee1....Could someone upload the patched boot image for the latest one? Also do we have a generic version of twrp that can be installed on x3 ?? If yes, then we could try installing havoc gsi...
I've added a link to a patched A.32 boot.img.
also needed pip install pycryptodome win10

Thanks a ton Zacharee!!
But it seems like I have A.33 version (https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update)
I wish we had a video guide or something. Does anyone have a patched A.33 boot.img?

It's pretty simple to patch it yourself. Download the OZIP, use the Python tool to unencrypt it, take the boot.img file out of the created ZIP, copy it to your device, and then patch with with Magisk Manager.

Firmware for RMX2085
I have RMX2085 model. So installing RMX2081 would be okay?
Actually I installed GSI ROM after this and now stuck with boot animation loops. Any idea if it would be okay to flash 2081 ROM else where can I get the one for 2085 version?

The firmware is the same for them all.
Great thread @Zacharee1. I have been waiting for this!
I have one question - is it mandatory to download the OTA package and do the patching? Is it because of the absence of recovery software like TWRP yet, for the X3 Super Zoom?

Yes, and that's why. It might be possible to pull the boot image directly from your device, but I'm not sure.
Can someone tell me if I can use realme 6 pro vbmeta.img?

Hi Sukhad,
I updated the system to the latest OTA (39), but I do not have the latest magisk patched file. Could you kindly help me with latest version patched boot for x3 superzoom?

ota update after root
Someone have experiencing ota update failed on rooted device with this procedure? I m on RMX2081EU_11.A.40 but ota update to RMX2081EU_11.A.42 fails. how to update now?
Good afternoon. I want to get a root for my X3 super zoom, but I literally do not understand all the manipulations so that your description is attached with an image (screenshots). I think it will be useful for everyone who can't.
Anyone have working patched boot.img for a46?? I'm trying and always boot destroyed. Magisk 21.4
It's really weird on official en site there is a42 soft from September but on pl site there is a46 from December.
Hi,
I have a stock ANE-LX1 9.1.0.355(C55E8R1P6)
I just can't root the phone!!!!
I tried both flashing the Magisk zip from TWRP and patching the recovery_ramdis.img from the app and then flashing from fastboot, but
Magisk Manager just doesn't see Magisk.
Plz help, thanks
David

Hey dude try this way out...
- Download Magisk manager apk. , patched recovery_ramdisk and TWRP for 9.1:
https://mega.nz/#!ohkgwSzb!xD32btG_3Sax-V7bn6xbWR5fH0crPrry06cCxusf5Hg
https://mega.nz/#!tkcTlATI!A8UJGPBGtxJbLcUOJoxCGJj5PFZXzCnjbb3OkwqKTP8
https://mega.nz/#!xkd2ibKY!JCLNMNKRI1e0FI1bJ4YI5Lr9Hdg9eo4A9kv0MhxgIdA
Copy TWRP and patched recovery_ramdisk to SD Card, install Magisk manager apk.
- Install TWRP over eRecovery: flash downloaded TWRP 9.1 from fastboot, boot in TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image". Find TWRP-9.1.img file , mark eRecovery and confirm. Reboot system.
- When the yellow unlocked phone warning appears, press and hold Volume Up , phone will boot into TWRP.
- Select Install image, find Recovery_ramdisk-patch.img , mark Recovery, confirm.
- Go back to the main TWRP's menu > Reboot > Reboot recovery. Phone will reboot via Recovery , but not into Recovery mode. Now every time you want to boot phone with root access must hold volume up and power at the beginning . if you boot phone normaly (not thro recovery comand) your phone will not be rooted!
Now you have a rooted phone with TWRP on board.
Ok thanks, isn't it possible to workaround the volume up stuff? How do I boot twrp after I finished? Vol+ and power button or vol+ and cable? To my understanding, this boots two different recoveries?? Why is it so complicated lol

Is your patched_ramdisk "universal" ? I meant will it work on phone with different cust (mine is c55, most have c432 and maybe with different emui version? Where did you get it?)
- it is just an alternative, the method with patched recovery_ramdisk and fastboot should also work. Maybe you're doing something wrong.
- It is complicated due to emui 9.1, the ramdisk partition no longer exists. As a workaround, Magisk will be installed to the recovery_ramdisk partition.
- AFAIK partitions Recovery and eRecovery are the same for all build numbers and regions (we are talking about ANE- models and EMUI 9.1), so it should work.
- "How do I boot twrp after I finished?" - read carefully please: " Reboot system. When the yellow unlocked phone warning appears, press and hold Volume Up , phone will boot into TWRP."
P.S.: I never try to convince anyone of anything, it's your choice .
If you do not understand something here, than the tutorial might not be suitable for you.
There are plenty of guides on how to do these things. GL!

I tried the following:
Booting into TWRP, getting recovery_ramdisk with dd, patching image with manager, boot into twrp, flash new recovery_ramdisk with dd, reboot.
Getting recovery_ramdisk from official update, patching etc.
Flashing official Magisk v21.1 with zip. The new image is flashed because the second time it will say "magisk patched image detected" (even if i reboot into twrp again), but still no root.
Sincerely I do not understand what I'm doing wrong. I know myself it should be easy.
I understand the tutorial (and thank you for it, you are a very kind person) I just don't understand why huawei made things so unnecesarely complicated. How does the phone boot without a ramdisk? Is "normal" ramdisk included in the kernel partition or in the recovery_ramdisk partition? Ok I get it, if there is no ramdisk the phone boots directly from the system on root partition, so magisk should mod that partition but it can't because it defeats the purpose of "systemless". Right?
There are plenty of guides, yeah, but everyone says the same thing (magisk zip or patched ramdisk) and people just say it works... but in my case it just... doesn't
Will try to follow your guide to the letter... Thank you again...
Ramdisk is included in the recovery_ramdisk, that's why Magisk will be installed to the recovery_ramdisk partition. Read carefully bro
Note: if you want use TWRP on rooted EMUI 9.1, you MUST install TWRP over eRecovery.

Try with lower version , v20.0 or v20.4
Ok, thank you for your tips. I will update you once I have time to spend on this.
Hello everyone hope you are all keeping well.
Since I believe that many of you don't know about this, I've decided to share the steps I've done in order to root the OP 11R ( ACE 2 )
I cannot be responsible if you brick your device. Your phone, your choices, your responsibility!
1 - Unlock the bootloader (if you haven't done it already...beware that this will erase all of your user data). To do so, you must:
Enable developer options
Enable the "OEM unlocking" option
Enable USB debugging
Have both adb and fastboot, from SDK Platform Tools available on your PC
Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and run the following commands:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
(so your phone will reboot into fastboot mode)
fastboot flashing unlock
(device should now unlock)
fastboot reboot
(device reboots with an unlocked bootloader and data partition wiped so set up the device from scratch again)
2 - Download OP 11R stock boot.img that you may find later on this post, that matches your current build.
Copy the boot.img to your devices internal memory
Leave a copy of it on your PC (on the same folder you have adb and fastboot...you never know if you will need to use it again in the future...to restore the stock boot.img, aka revert to stock...)
Indian Boot.img A_0.8 - download
3 - Download latest Magisk Manager from HERE and install it on your phone
4 - Open Magisk Manager App and press:
Install
Select and Patch a File
Browse to the path where you saved stock boot.img and select it
Magisk Manager will now patch the boot image and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.img
5 - Copy the patched boot image from your device to your PC (Store it on the same folder where you have adb and fastboot)
6 - Flash the patched boot image to your phone by running these commands (remember, you must have patched boot image on the same folder you have adb and fastboot and, of course, your device must be connected to your PC...)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
7 - After the phone boots up, hopefully with a normal boot (almost feels like nothing happened....), install/open Magisk Manager App again and watch Magisk doing it's magic!
8 - Enjoy!
All credits goes to topjohnwu and his incredible work with Magisk.

Thank you for detailed steps.
Is there any benefit with KernelSU over this method ?
I always used Magisk on OP8, but recently saw an article for OP11 with Kernel SU.
Also is there MSM tool support to recover softbriked device ?

Sorry but there is no msm tool available for new OnePlus devices. + You can use Fastboot enhance tool from github to recover softbrick , magisk is always recommended for rooting because of ease of steps and simple to use
Hello, thanks for the detailed instructions. Today I updated to A. 10, and unfortunately lost my root access. Without the root cannot extract the boot image. If you're already updated and have a backup of A. 10 boot, can you please share?

Then remember to take a backup of the boot before rebooting. I messed up big time.
Thanks for the detailed information man. Can I know if bootloader unlock decreases widevine L1 to L3? As this was case with my OP6
