I have an OPPO A5s (cph1909) phone. I want to root it because ColorOS takes too much memory and to install a custom rom. I searched for stock rom but I found a stock firmware update file that can be installed by stock recovery. When I extracted the stock firmware, I found a boot.img file. Can I patch it with Magisk and install it by stock recovery? Won't my device go bootloop once I'm done?

its not for OPPO A5s (CPH1909)
The website quotes that, this method is for 'Oppo A5S (PD1818HF)', and I have OPPO A5s (CPH1909), will the method described in the website work for me? Can you please confirm that will this method brick my phone or not?

I noticed that the boot img included in the stock rom can be decompressed via zArchiver then, inside there is a file named "boot". There is no file extension maybe it is of ".bin" file format.

I have the same Oppo A5s (CPH1909), I'm Using MTK Easy Root By: JunioJsv®, To Tweak My Device, But not in full control..
For Ex:
Disable Some Apps - But not the All apps can be disable.. Some apps is Still Working when i already Disable it using Titanium Back Up..
Note: Root Privelage Is 100% Working
Lspeed - Tweak's is Working, But dont expect it to be applied in Boot, Since I'm Using MTK Easy Root "BOOTLESS Root" Only..
ToolBox - I'm Using this, To TurnOFF Start-Up Apps, Its Working 100% Sure..
But Don't Turn Off:
•Storage Manager - RAM/Performamce Drop
• Battery - RAM/Performamce Drop
•MediaStorage
•SystemUI

try it! patch to magisk! https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/oppo-a5s-firmware-images-cph1909ex11a-34-t4064627
I can make roms and recoveries for this phone but anybody unlocked bootloader? Search for some hacks to unlock bootloader of this phone ?
It's impossible to patch and root Oppo A5s with your current version of Oppo A5s. But I think the other and only way to do that is to avoid the update security version that stops its users to bypass and root Oppo A5. So first, you will need to downgrade your current version. I have successfully patched the older version of stock firmware image of Oppo A5s named CPH1909_EX_11_A34 with latest Magisk Manager. Like usual, download, extract and patch the boot.img.
So the idea here is once you made yourself a patched file you can now use it flash in order to downgrade your device and make it rootable than ever. Then, you will need unlock it's bootloader in order install TWRP Recover to make stuffs flashable.
I'm sorry I can't put links in here yet because I'm a new registered acct here in xda. For the rest of the steps, just google "How to Downgrade Your Android Phone to a Previous Version".
I haven't completed the whole process yet but soon, I will in my free time. Hope it helps?
so, to sum it all up. its not possible to have an alternative rom (android 9 at all?) on this phone model? particular cph1909....

I recently bought Teclast Master T10 Tablet but I can't find any way to root it.
I googled this, but the problem is that there is no TWRP for this device, so I can't flash Magisk.
Any idea or guide would be really appreciated!
Thank you all in advance!

It is IMPORTANT to flash also SuperSu in TWRP!

First tried without doing anything extra. TeclastOTA boots into TWRP recovery and is not able to upgrade. I tried flashing the original boot and recovery afterwards but was unable to boot, it got stuck on the Teclast logo. You could probably flash the clean factory rom will become available on needrom but I don't wanna lose all my data.

Maybe it goes through, if you unroot before.
Because SuperSu make changes in System Partition.
Or you can flash also factory System Partition too.

Did you firstly get the OTA Update and afterwards you flashed TWRP and root?
In the Russian forum say that "Recovery compiled on the basis of the kernel firmware Android 7.0 version V1.24 / Wed Oct 11 20:24:36 CST 2017 "
After today's Update the kernel version is V.1.28_20171120
The custom version is: BLU_S0320WW_V7.0.04.09_GENERIC.
The bootloader might be able to be unlocked, but I tried all one-click root apps & none of them work.
Doubt there is a custom recovery specifically made for this device.
You can root it with magisk. Mine is rooted with it
Download The Blu S1 stock rom(to get The scatter file and boot.img)
Download mt67xx drivers and vcom drivers(install it)
Download Sp Flash tool last version
Download and install Magisk Manager
Copy and paste "Boot.img" from stock rom to the cell phone storage
Open Magisk Manager and clip on install then patch boot.img, navigate an choose The stock boot.img...wait to end
Then flash that patched boot.img with Sp Flash tool. And ta da! You get root!!

Exactly. The OP shouldn't be making threads that make it sound like we have the ability to root when he even admits he's not done it yet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79681506&postcount=9
Solution is
Backup all, then factory reset. After reset don't allow phone to boot, immediately go to fastboot and flash recovery_ramdisk with magisk. Then reboot and wait for phone first init. It tells that root is found, press ok.
After that we hawe root and SMS working/QUOTE]
Might be worth trying for someone that has their bootloader unlocked and is willing to factory reset, provided the OPs link with instructions for creating the modified recovery_ramdisk works. I just ordered my code yesterday so I'm not expecting it until the end of the week to do any testing.
Recovery mode should still work, even if the phone starts boot looping. It's on a separate partition and downloads a fresh copy of the firmware from Huawei to install. It saved me a few times when experimenting in the early days of the P20 pro

@op - Did you get rooted?
Just Tried Again,
Extracted the Ramdisk from 153 (C185) Update file using Update Extractor
Patched using Magisk 19.3 - Magisk Manager
Flashed in Fastboot after a Factory Reset, Flashing went fine. No Errors.
Phone boots fine in Normal Mode, setup done - booted to System (Root Not available)
Turned off - Boot in Recovery Combination - Goes into Bootloop. After 3 Bootloops, Phone boots to eRecovery for Restore.
EMUI 9.1 doesn't support the Magisk patch method used for EMUI 9.0.
Any other ideas guys?

Nah, Bootloader was always accessible to me. There was no issue with it.
Try Uninstalling Hisuite and installing Google ADB. Hisuite installs a modified version called HDB which might mess up things sometimes.
For a complete backup without root, HiSuite is the only way.
OK, Tried with 7.2.0 and it worked!

Flash update_full_base.zip (FULL OTA) firmware with EMUI Flasher v1.1
Hy guys,
Can someone with unlocked bootloader and root install EMUI Flasher and flash the update_full_base.zip (FULL OTA) on device and report if it's working? Below you'll find the MEGA mirror for latest firmware v.176 downloaded from Firmware Finder.
MEGA link for VOG-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.176 - MD5 checksum value 4dbe96c1b4fbc29aaa67cae2f3778517
LINK for [GUIDE] Manual updating/Firmware Collection/Rooting and EMUI Flasher ( thanks @OldDroid )
BEFORE proceding, make sure to patch RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img from v176 firmware while you are rooted on current firmware version.
REMEMBER that after succesfull firmware update you'll have to reflash the patched_boot.img to recovery_ramdisk (via fastboot) to regain root access.
Your userdata should stay intact - at least that was it back when i flashed on P20 Pro

But why your guide is referring to Mate 20 Pro?
I have a Alcatel U3 4055T phone (same as TCL 4055T) and I have tried all the simple methods (PC/APK …Kingroot, kingoroot etc) of rooting it with NO SUCCESS. It has Android 6.0, Baseband MT6737M, 3G/LTE. Now I have thought of trying rooting it manually, I have read online and figured out that I might need do as follows:
(1( UNLOCK the boot-loader
(2) FLASH a custom Recovery (TWRP)
(3) EXTRACT Boot image from the phone
(4) PATCH the image in (3) with Magisk
(5) FLASH the patched image back to the phone
I have just successfully unlocked the boot-loader BUT I can find any version of TWRP or any other custom recovery to FLASH into my phone. I have tried all suitable TWRP(s) that I could find online with no success.
PLEASE help me out in rooting my phone … any help from the members and admins will be highly appreciated.
This is to inform that I have successfully rooted this phone using Magisk and now I can enjoy all those apps which require root. I wish to thank the makers of Magisk ... this was simple and straightforward . BUT I I still have stock recovery.

Well … the method I had used only applies to devices with MTK chips. The Best part is that the device only gets rooted after boot && running a script. Means if you wish to keep it un-rooted (for some reasons) you can also do that. The package contains 2 apks and one of them is “magisk” … and other is “mtk-easy-su” install both , you only have to run the later and it will execute magnisk. You can also tic the box for automatically root at boot. Here is the package: https://offlinemodapk.com/mediatek-easy-root-apk/#more-3134
To run those kinds of application, you need the Magisk Manager app if you have a rooted device. By enabling the magisk hide on the app, you would able to run whatever application you need, which cannot work on rooted devices. Becric
Long story short, I rooted my N200 T-Mobile variant to A12 DE2118_11_C.15 (Full OTA) not a long time ago with no issues. However to be able to update to DE2118_11_C.16 (Incremental update, w/July 2022 Patch) I had to uninstall Magisk first, then update it to c.16. Now my phone is updated to c.16 but I am very unsure how to root it again to avoid bootloop;
1. Can I use c.15 stock boot image since c.16 was an incremental update? or I need c.16 version?
2. If c.16 boot image is already extracted please share.
3. If none above, how and where I can find the OTA file to extract payload.bin and then boot.img?
I would really appreciate if somebody help me with this, thank you.

Long story short, I rooted my N200 T-Mobile variant to A12 DE2118_11_C.15 (Full OTA) not a long time ago with no issues. However to be able to update to DE2118_11_C.16 (Incremental update, w/July 2022 Patch) I had to uninstall Magisk first, then update it to c.16. Now my phone is updated to c.16 but I am very unsure how to root it again to avoid bootloop;

The steps below is what I do since Android 12 update:
**Automatic system updates should be unchecked on Developer options.**
Prerequisites: Rooted with Magisk (v25.2 recommended) / Have stock boot image available.
Preparation:
A. Restore active slot boot img with stock boot on adb shell with root
ex) dd if=/sdcard/boot_a.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a
OR
B. Uninstall Magisk with Restore Image option if available
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**If you do A first and Direct Install with Magisk, then B option will be available.
1. Update OTA and DO NOT PRESS Restart Button.
2. Backup the new stock boot image. If your current boot is b, then new stock boot is a
ex) dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img
3. Patch the newly extracted stock boot with Magisk -> Reboot -> Reboot to fastboot
4. Flash the newly magisk patched image
ex) fastboot flash boot_a new_magisk_boot.img
5. Reboot
OR you can try to install Magisk with in-active slot option at Step #3, then restart with OTA, not with Magisk; however, I've been told that it sometimes makes an issue such as bootloop. Up to you.
follow A1.1 to get your boot.img.
[GUIDE] Root and keeping root options
Update 230526: Correct numbering of "B.1.1 Simple" to "B.1.2 Simple", use "OOS 13+" instead of "OOS 13" as OOS 13.1 is now available A. First time rooting This process is common across all options A.1 Flashing Magisk patched boot image There...

After your phone is rooted again, go in developer options and disable automatic system updates so it won't restart without your consent in future OTAs. when it asks for you to restart, go into the magisk app and press install and then "install to inactive slot". Then go back to the system update screen and press restart.
That's it. If you followed the steps correctly, your device should be updated and you should still have root!
Thank you both of you for your help and thorough explanation.
I suppose since I already restarted my device after update I have no chance with @lentm's method.
Now I'm going to follow what @justauserthatusesaphone posted and see what happens.
I will post the result here if somebody else is interested too.

Thank you for posting boot.img @lentm!
I was middle of what @justauserthatusesaphone posted when you attached the boot.img! So thank you very much being mindful of others!
However, just to learn more and be prepared for future updates I tried the other method and it worked perfectly! My device is now rooted with latest update thanks both of you guys!
Next I'm gonna use your method for another N200 which hasn't been updated yet and experience that one as well.

Could someone please tell me if it's possible to root this device running the latest July 5th update mentioned above without a pc ?
And if so where to find or how to do it ?!
I've been searching everywhere and have only come across a bunch of "one clock root options" that haven't worked .

One click root APKs don't have access to fastboot to flash a rooted boot.img, which is what you need to do for permanent root for newer Android devices. Also I wouldn't trust those anyway, most are not open source and might contain malware/ads/etc.
You can have a temporary root if your bootloader is unlocked by using a DSU, however if your bootloader has not been unlocked (which you need a PC to do) do NOT attempt to do this. Multiple people have reported bricking their devices attempting to do this so you have been warned.
All files on the DSU will be deleted when you discard the DSU since it is a different system image from the original. If you really know what you're doing you might be able to flash a Magisk rooted boot.img to the original system image from the DSU, I don't know how to do this. You can play around with making the DSU persist through reboots using this guide, I don't know if that works with updates or if all files will have to be discarded if you want to update. I recommend using DSU sideloader with a GSI from phhusson, when it says to run the shell script over ADB you can use a terminal app like Termux instead.

Thank you for your help !
I assume that since my bootloader is not unlocked and I don't have access to a pc I'm pretty much out of luck on rooting this device until I can get access to one .
Guess I'll have find a way to access one .
Much appreciated though !
