Could you please explain in a basic way how to do it?

Unfortunately, it is frustrating that there is no TWRP for the (very good) MediaTek 8100 processor...
After several unsuccessful attempts, this worked for me:
1. unlock the bootloader
2. install the system that we are going to root
3. install the Magisk app (apk)
4. in the computer, "extract" the boot.img from the firmware that we have installed
Attention: boot.img for modification in the magisk app is downloaded from the correct (installed) firmware
5. copy this boot.img to the smartphone
4. in the Magisk application, we point to the copied boot.img file. The magisk application will modify this file and rename it (we look for the image in the download folder, rename it to boot.img, copy the file to the PC)
Attention: Install the adb drivers - there will be an adb folder on the c: drive, put the patched boot.img file there.
5. put the smartphone in fastboot mode
6. run the command line on the PC and enter the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
We have root access in Xiaomi 12T!

Root without unlock bootloader any devices

hello everyone ..... i will share the root trick without ubl (unlock bootloader)
this method only applies to root magisk only.
this trick I have tested with mobile phone huawei y5 2017 with android version 6.0
and xiaomi redmi note 3 mtk ..
what you prepare as follows:
1.Firmware same with your phone type (my recommendation is flash FW on your phone)
2.Boot.img from the appropriate firmware of your phone type
3.magisk manager
execution steps:
1. make sure the phone is connected internet
2. open the phone settings to activate usb debugging and install the source check from the outside in the security settings.
3. copy boot.img into sdcard on phone
4. install magisk manager application and open the application,
go to the settings on the top left and search "booted boot output format and you can choose according to your needs (if select img.tar, this works with Odin samsung). make your choice (if img = flash with fastboot or spflashtool, ufibox.
go back and select pairs and you will see 3 options "download zip, patch boot img file, install "
please select "patch img boot file" select file and search boot.img stored in sdcard and ok ... magisk manager will download automatically ... just wait until there is installation process is complete.
after finished you see its results in the internal memory in the folder "magisk manager"
there is a file named "patched_boot.img" that means success
copy patched_boot.img to laptop / pc and rename it to "boot.img" and flash it with the appropriate tool of your phone.
if boot.tar in flash with odin
if boot.img flash with spflashtool (if your chipset is mtk)
just install patched_boot.img your phone is rooted

Need Assistance extracting ramdisk image from Update

I'm trying to root my M5 (SHT-W09, C567). I have unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk but am having problems extracting and patching the ramdisk.img file. I would appreciate anyone who could double check my steps or see if they spot my error.
Here is what I have done.
1) Using HFF, downloaded, the Update.zip file (full image), size is approximately 4 GB.
2) Copied image over to Windows laptop
3) Downloaded Huwei Image Extractor
4) Set image extractor to unknown profile
5)Under settings, unchecked verify header and file checksum
6) The extractor extracted 33 files
Here is where I need assistance, how do I proceed? Do i need to .zip the ramdisk file and then copy it over to the tablet? I've attached an image of the files that were extracted. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
@C5Longhorn you can now select the RAMDISK.img entry from that bundle and extract it to your PC. Then you copy that file by e.g
adb put RAMDISK.img /sdcard/
onto your device. Then you need to open Magisk-Manager (which you should have already installed on your device) and seldct the RAMDISK.img from /sdcard/ and a patched_boot.img will be created. This is the file which you later on need to flash back onto your device as ramdisk.img

Ok, i copied the file to my computer desktop, and then attached device to computer and I copied into my SD card download folder but kept getting an error when I would run Magisk that it failed.
Do I need to use adb to push the file or does it not matter how it's copied. Maybe I'm placing in the wrong folder or need to zip file.
I'll try again and screenshot the messages. I really appreciate your help.

@C5Longhorn how you copy the file to your device doesn't matter. Do you have Magisk-Manager installed? Did you select the patch option and did you choose patch boot file and did you select the RAMDISK.img as the file to be patched? What is the error message Magisk-Manager is giving you? Did you use MagiskManager-5.7.0.apk?
Yes, to all. I'll capture and post the error I'm receiving when I can get back to the tablet. Thanks again.

I finally got it. I zipped the ramdisk file, moved it to Dropbox and then downloaded it locally to the tablet. I then went through the Magisk Manager process and it created the patched file.
I'm rooted now but notice I can't open Magisk without the app closing very quickly afterwards.
Is this normal? Also, I noticed "preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity is not checked. Should it be?

I wiped the Magisk app data and now the app will open.

If run MagiskManager - run 1..2 second - self-close : it's a bug.
The new Version is 5.8.0 and i hope it's debuged.
The Bug is a optical Problem, root work.
Can version 5.8 be installed without losing root or do you have to repush the patched file again?

I installed 5.8 Magisk Manager and did not have to reload ramdisk image file.

2 Way for install Magisk
Way 1 : the device is new and TWRP is not available
download your build, extract "ramdisk.img" and copy on device (example: to "download")
download MagiskManager.App (actual 5.8.0), install, run and let MM modify the boot.img (in OREO is inside ramdisk.img)
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
Way 2 : install "twrp_p10_0.1.img"
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_p10_0.1.img
boot to recovery (TWRP) and TWRP-Install Magisk-v16.0.zip (actual)
this 2 way work on my device CMR-AL09 8.0.0.161(C432)
i use way 1 if device new on market and twrp not available
if twrp available i use way 2
the core-question is : the build from your device
extract from your-build full-update "ramdisk.img"
All Huawei/Honor with OREO have the same OS, but the build is different
HI,
I would like to update my mediapad to the latest update available.
However, you can't update through the official updater when you're root.
Can i flash back the original ramdisk.img and do the official update, then root it back with the new ramdisk.img patched ?

Normally when there are changes on the ramdisk.img a full update image will be installed by the OTA update process. Your proposed way will be probably sufficient to get only the delta update.

[TOOL][riva] Appender for Redmi 5A

Bypass bootloader guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-5a/how-to/bypass-bootloader-lock-redmi-5ariva-t3772381 by dev @xaacnz.
A little bit of disclaimer......
Appender is for those who are currently using bypass bootloader hack above, so there is no need of manually appending blocks to boot image/recoevry image after every flash. Appender automatically appends the 4k bytes to boot image and recovery image.
NOTE: DO NOT QUOTE WHOLE POST OR I WILL IGNORE
Appender-v4 Download below
Changelog:
Appender-v4
*Fixed Appender on system-as-root boot images (Appender breaks GSI with system-as-root, don't use GSI)
*Improved overall code
Appender-v3
*Initial test version
Recommended twrp: Pitch black recovery
Link
Appender-v4.zip is for boot image
Appender-v4-rec.zip is for recovery image
Appender Usage
1. Flash rom
2. Flash magisk for root (skip if you don't need root)
3. Flash custom kernel (skip if you don't need custom kernel)
4. After that flash Appender-v4.zip
5. Reboot
Appender Recovery Version Usage
1. Flash recovery image
2. Flash Appender-v4-rec.zip
3. Reboot Recovery
CAUTION: Appender must be flashed EVERY time you modify boot image or recovery image.
And don't forget to press thanks if this tool has helped you
Reporting errors.
After flashing appender, send the file /cache/recovery/last_log if Appender didn't worked, and also metion the issue you are facing.

Old method
Note1: Even though no data is erased in this process it is recommended to take backup.
What this guide covers.
1. Rooting your device
2. Flashing custom kernel
All without need to unlock bootloader​
Well there are two ways with which you can do this
Requirements
For PC based method
1. Working twrp recovery (if you dont have twrp installed follow this guide)
2. Pc must have linux installed, if you have windows don't worry install WSL using this link
3. Android image kitchen for your respective OS.
4. Latest magisk zip from here
For Android only
1. Working twrp
2. Any hex editor(Note2) for android/windows (optional)
3. Latest Magisk manager app only (for root only)
4. Android Image kitchen- android, windows/linux (for custom kernel only)
Steps for PC based​1. Flash magisk zip or any kernel. Don't reboot system.
2. Go to backup senction in twrp and backup boot.
3. Connect your device to PC and look where you backed up boot and copy boot.emmc.win to Android image kitchen folder and rename to boot.img
4. Run unpackimg.sh or double click on unpackimg.bat. Then run repackimg.sh or double click on repackimg.bat. You will see image-new.img in the same folder
5. On windows hold Shift and right click in file manager with mouse, you will see open linux shell here, click it. OR if you have linux (specifically ubuntu) then right click and select open terminal here in Nautilus.
6. Run (to append 4k block, note that you can append block to any file specified by "of" parameter like of=twrp.img, of=boot.img etc)
Code:
printf 'x30x83x19x89x64' | dd of=image-new.img ibs=4096 conv=sync,notrunc oflag=append
7. Copy the image-new.img to your phone anywhere you prefer.
8. Flash image-new.img using twrp to boot partition.
9. Reboot
Steps for non-PC based (*outdated and some kernels won't work fully)​[/CENTER]
1. Extract boot.img from your currently installed rom and put it in internal storage of your phone (if you do not want to flash custom kernel skip to step 4)
*2. Download custom kernel you want to flash, extract zImage from the flashable kernel zip
*3. Unpack boot image using android image kitchen, in the split_img folder delete "boot.img-zImage" and put zImage you extracted in split_img folder and rename it to "boot.img-zImage"
*For custom kernel only
4. Install magisk manager apk on your phone
5. open magisk manager, you will see magisk is not installed select install (first one), a popup will appear telling to install magisk, select install, then select Patch a file, select the boot.img file that you extracted, then let magisk manager do the rest, after finishing the magisk-patched.img file will be stored in Downloads folder of your internal storage
6. Open the patched_boot.img in hex editor
7. To make the patched_boot.img to boot append(Note2) a 4k block which begins with 0x30, 0x83, 0x19, 0x89, 0x64 to patched_boot.img, and save the file
8. Boot into twrp and flash patched_boot.img
9. Done, reboot
Note2: On Linux you can use dd command to append
Code:
printf 'x30x83x19x89x64' | dd of=testfile ibs=4096 conv=sync,notrunc oflag=append
Note3: If you get error cannot mount twrp while flashing, use recommend twrp above
If you get error related to ramdisk compression, use Appender-v4 or above

If you didn't append 4k block to patched_boot.img and you have locked bootloader then flashing magisk directly from twrp must work also because both processes are same. And likewise you can also flash custom kernel directly using twrp without extracting boot.img. In my case I have to append 4k block to patched_boot.img for system to boot.

I don't know how it worked but when i tried it again system crashed then i appended 4k block to patched_boot.img to get magisk intalled.
I have one more question what about xposed for pixel experience rom for riva and can i flash it directly without modifying it.
Edit:I am on pixel experience latest android pie version.

Yes you can install xposed. Simple rule of thumb is that you can flash anything that does not touch boot image and xposed doesn't it only writes to /system partition so no issues.
Xposed is not available for pie yet, but the unofficial EdXposed magisk module was tested by me and it works good on pixel experience.
Kindly ask you to upload some zip file to your OP, containing following files:
- tmp\hack_splash.xml
- tmp\prog_emmc_firehose_8917_ddr.mbn
- tmp\recovery.img
- tmp\splash.img
- tmp\twrp.xml
- fh_loader.exe
- QSaharaServer.exe
- a text file containing steps 9-11 and link to xaacnz thread (for credits)

If this is like an LG Bump situation you should just make a Pull Request to Magisk to add detection of the magic and to re-add it after automatically. I'll see about adding support for it to my Android Image Kitchen as well.
Edit: Also @saurabh6377 isn't using AK3 correctly.. he left in all the stuff from the example and edited the Backend to add the printf (which it clearly says not to do) instead of putting it in anykernel.sh.
not necessary there is official unlock tool from xiaomi

Yeah, that is why I said experimental, I have my exams coming and I am just starting to learn all the stuff. It takes a lot of time figuring out everything (for beginner).
That is why I modified anykernel methods of flashing boot image.
EDIT: After my exams will be over, I will try to make another version of appender using anykernel correctly.
@osm0sis Also, the bytes must be appended to final boot.img before flashing, but ak3 builds and flashes boot image in same method (write_boot), so I have to modify that method. Correct me if I am wrong.

Not really needed, people can just unlock, it is for those who are using bypass bootloader exploit because they cannot unlock (most likely in case if someone have bought from untrusted source). And append doesn't work always.

Cool. I just worry what that stuff intended for tuna (Galaxy Nexus) could do. If you don't need to touch the ramdisk you could just use split_boot; so it doesn't unpack the ramdisk unnecessarily.
You can use repack_ramdisk; (if unpacked) and flash_boot; instead of write_boot; to get more granular control and be able to act on the final image before flash. :good:
Good luck with your exams! :fingers-crossed:
@osm0sis thanks, I will make another version of appender soon.
I have one question though
I want to edit /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom to enable forceencrypt using anykernel
In fstab.qcom I have this
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,noauto_da_alloc wait,formattable,check,encryptable=footer,quota
I want to change "encryptable" to "forceencrypt" using anykernel.
What is proper way?

Well that's not necessarily an AnyKernel "thing" because it's a vendor partition modification, but yeah you could do that somewhere in anykernel.sh as part of a flash if you want, just remember to mount vendor rw first and back to ro after. The AK3 patch_fstab function might work for you.
Hey ges any video for this step?
7. To make the patched_boot.img to boot append a 4k block which begins with 0x30, 0x83, 0x19, 0x89, 0x64 to patched_boot.img, and save the file

Question Can i root stock oxygen OS

Hello is there any way to root OnePlus 9R oxygenOS ?
yes you can by flashing magisk img file
Open payload dumper and put the payload file from oxygen os rom zip to payload input folder, make sure that its the version that your phone is currently using.
then open payloaddumper.exe and wait until it is complete it would automatically close once its done, copy the boot.img file from the payload output folder and paste it in your internal storage of the phone
Now open the magisk app and click install and select and patch file and click on the boot.img file after magisk converts it to magisk patched.img copy and paste it to the adb tools folder , boot into fastboot mode and flash it by the command:
fastboot flash boot magiskpatched.img
Also the root will reset when you update your phone so you have to do this process again
That's it enjoy

Question I want to root Poco X3 GT MIUI 14.0.1

I want to root my device. Will twrp 3.6.0 from mastersenpai05 work on MIUI 14.0.1?
it seems to me that this TWRP is A11 and MIUI 14 A13.
No need for TWRP to root.
Root:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
***On some devices, disable-verity is required.
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
