It seems that Magisk is more complicated to install now. I did flash the latest version as a zip, as I have always done, but I understand that method is deprecated and suppose it might break or otherwise go way in the future.
The whole process of getting one's boot.img seems complicated for people who are not seasoned ROM developers. Of course I understand there are instructions one can read and learn how to get the boot.img, etc., but given that one has to have a ROM .zip to install the ROM, couldn't an option for Magisk be to extract the boot.img from the ROM .zip if that's what the user has on hand?

The zip method still works fine for most devices, i still use it on my Pixel 2XL
Download the latest magisk-xxxx.apk, make a copy and rename it to magisk-xxxx.zip, flash via custom recovery
Or
If on Windows 64 Bit, you can use this payload dumper (which doesnt require Python to be installed) to extract the img files, including boot.img, doesnt get any easier:
payload_dumper-win64.zip | Tool by geminids14 for Utilities
Extract payload.bin in xiaomi weekly build zip for MI A1

I still use the zip method as it requires less fiddly steps

I flashed it on my Oneplus6 (A/B device) running LineageOS 18.1 with TWRP and it worked, but it did not survive an OTA update, which I guess is topjohnwu/Magisk#3820. I was wondering if that not surviving an OTA update was one of the reasons ZIP flashing is being deprecated.

Understood. And I understand the palaver one needs to go through to use the boot.img patching once one has a ROM ZIP. It just seems that that is all something that could be baked into the Magisk Manager to make the whole process a bit less of an ordeal.
Hi all,
Thought i'd share a guide on how to get these boot images yourself as well as all the files required, plus the patched boot.img if you just want to go ahead and boot/flash it without obtaining one yourself
Please read the process before committing to proceeding, so you know what's required and what you should and shouldn't use!
Stock and patched images are UK/ EU NE2213 but the guides are universal and could be used on multiple devices.
NOTE:
For these guides the versions used are:
Stable, Canary or BETA depending on firmware, simply change the channel in Magisk settings then select install / update:
NE2213_11_A.12
Magisk Manager v24.3 (24300) Stable
NE2213_11_A.13
Magisk Manager v24.3 (24300) Stable
NE2213_11_A.14
Magisk Manager v25 (25000) Stable this version retains root after a restart, more stable version over previous iterations.
NE2213_11_A.16
Magisk Manager v25.2 (25200) Stable
NE2213_11_C_20
Magisk Manager v25.2 (25200) Stable
NE2213_11_C_21
Magisk Manager v25.2 (25200) Stable
NE2213_13.1.0.520 (EX01)
Magisk Manager v26.1 (25200) Stable
Oxygen OS NE2213_13.1.0.521 (EX01)
Magisk Manager v26.1 Stable
1st
Extracting a boot.img using Fastboot Enhance
Pre-requisites
A device with a working version of magisk manager installed, simply change the channel to the version outlined in the list above relevant to your firmware then select install / update:
A Windows 10 computer / laptop
A full update downloaded firmware zip for your model (recommend oxygen updater)
Payload dumper program for Windows.
An unlocked bootloader.
The local System Update Installer : normal local system update will not allow a reboot during installation, the one I've linked will.
Process
On your computer
1. Download and copy the fastboot enhance folder to your desktop or a location of your choosing.
Download from here: https://github.com/libxzr/FastbootEnhance/releases
2. Download the firmware of your choice (always use full zips, not incremental) and open it using Winrar or a similar zip program, extract the file called payload.bin to a folder of your choosing.
3. Run the program FastbootEnhance.exe, a window will appear, click Payload Dumper, then click browse and point to the payload.bin file, the contents of that payload.bin will now be shown, bare in mind you'll need to check the box "Allow incremental" even if it's a full zip
4. One of the files will be called boot.img, this is the file we'll be patching, click extract then copy this to your phone, root of storage which is called /sdcard.
On your phone
5. Open up Magisk and click Install / Update, if you don't see update then change channel, do this by changing the channel in magisk settings, it'll then show the install/ update buttons.
6. Select "Select and Patch a file" it'll open up a file browser, navigate to the boot.img you copied earlier and select it, allow it to complete (this will output a file called "magisk_patched" which will be output into the Downloads folder)
You now have a patched boot.img ready to boot or flash to either slot with fastboot or boot via fastboot.
I would recommend booting as this is risk free, if it's a bad image for whatever reason and you choose to flash then your phone will bootloop.
NOTE** Some people have noticed that an already patched boot.img when flashed can fail and cause a boot loop when flashed, so if you have downloaded a magisk_patched img from somewhere else then you WILL need to re-patch it on your own device preferably using the afore mentioned magisk manager based on what firmware it's from.
If you intend to follow the guide below with your own patched img then you shouldn't need to patch it twice but it won't hurt if you do.
2nd
Update from XX stable to XX+ stable whilst retaining root
Guide
**NOTE- Although this may work, the system may be unstable, especially when changing bases, eg: Android 11-12 or 12-13, so if you encounter strange behaviour then a factory wipe is advised.
1. Download the relevant firmware for your device via oxygen updater
2. Open Magisk and remove all the modules you have installed, then reboot
**NOTE- At this point I tend to copy out the whole firmware to my computer, incase I need it in the future, the boot img and patched boot img are at the foot of this guide, I'll always upload the latest firmware as soon as it comes out for the UK/EU model
3. Install the OnePlus local install apk listed below in downloads. Click the cog and select "Local Upgrade" the file should be listed on screen, if not then move the file to the root of your phones storage.
4. Click install and allow it to go through the process
**NOTE- DO NOT REBOOT AT THIS POINT YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO PATCH ON THE FLY, SIMPLY BACK OUT OF THE SCREEN WHICH SAYS "INSTALLATION COMPLETED. RESTART TO EXPERIENCE NEW FEATURES"
5. Open up magisk and click install (you may see two install buttons, top one is magisk and the bottom is magisk manager, we need the top one)
6. You'll be faced with a screen that has several options, you want to select "Install to Inactive slot (After OTA)" then select "LET'S GO" once complete click reboot.
7. Once your phones booted back up your system / files should all remain as they were and you should have root access.
You can now install all your modules again so long as they're compatible with the firmware you've just updated to.
3rd
Rooting using fastboot commands
Method 1
Booting the patched image
1. Obtain a patched boot image for your device variant preferably using payload dumper or download one of mine from the foot of this guide or if you've just performed the above guide you should already have a functional one, copy this file to your fastboot folder on your computer
**NOTE - The above suggested downloads are for the EU / UK variant- if you have another model / firmware please use that instead, If you did not obtain the boot.img from a firmware and patch it yourself, you will need to patch it again in magisk manager to avoid a bootloop, if you still get a bootloop it's best to obtain one yourself using the guide at the top of this post.
2. Reboot your phone to fastboot
and connect to your computer.
3. Boot the magisk patched img
fastboot boot magisk_patched (or name of your patched boot img)
Your phone should now boot automatically, you should now be rooted but we need to make this permanent, if you were to reboot you would lose root.
4. Open magisk manager and click install/update, if you are missing the install/ update buttons, change magisk version to beta in magisk settings and install the update, the buttons should then show.
5. Select Direct install (recommended) then click ok.
6. Allow magisk to permanently root your device then click reboot.
You should now boot and remain rooted.
Method 2
Flashing to both slots
1. Obtain a patched boot img for your device variant or download one of mine from the foot of this guide or if you've just performed the above guide you should already have a functional one, copy this file to your fastboot folder on your computer
**NOTE - Again the above suggested downloads are for the EU/ UK variant- if you have another model / firmware please use that instead, if you did not obtain the boot.img from a firmware and patch it yourself, you will need to patch it again in magisk manager, to avoid a bootloop
2. Reboot your phone to fastboot and connect to your computer.
Command: adb reboot bootloader
3. Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to your ADB/fastboot folder.
4. Type the following.
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched
Press enter.
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched
Press enter
fastboot reboot
Press enter
6. Your phone should now boot, open magisk and verify you're rooted.
Troubleshooting
If flashing succeeds but you don't have root and you've followed all the instructions, you may have some magisk modules still active, try performing the following.
1. Connect your phone to your computer.
2. Reboot the phone, then during the boot animation enter this command via ADB.
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
3. Allow to boot, modules will be removed and root should then be active.
If there is no magisk install / update buttons.
1. Make sure you have granted permission to magisk in settings / apps / magisk / permissions
2. Make sure that the update channel is on canary, then force close magisk and then re-open
3. If it still doesn't work then update magisk using canary
4. Last method to check would be to change to the beta channel in magisk settings, then install it.
Or change the update channel, install the version on offer, then change back to canary, install and you should be good to go.
Window's version
Windows 7 will not work with fastboot, please use Windows 10
USB
Use USB 2.0 not 3.0 or 3.1
ADB
These are the files i use for ADB (in the below list) tested these on fresh installs of windows on several windows machines, all win 10
Place them into the root of C so it reads C:\ADB much easier to navigate to that way.
Bootloader unlock
Boot to the bootloader with adb reboot bootloader
type fastboot flashing unlock
Agree to unlock - allow to boot.
If you can't see the device using ADB
Make sure USB Debugging is turned on
Connect your cable to your phone and computer, when asked what you want your phone to do, click on transfer files, a driver will be installed.
After this reconnect your phone and it'll prompt you with a disclaimer with a check box, check the box and click ok, ADB / Fastboot should now work.
Files:
Local System update APK, this must be used as the local OnePlus 10 Pro one will not allow a reboot during the installation, so you cannot install the Magisk boot image during an upgrade, the android 13 local update apk is also required for rolling back to android 12.

I honestly hope so..
I'm having a few issues isolating the correct files to make the center clock Magisk mod, but that's in the works. Will have it done soon hopefully.
OnePlus thought it would be a good idea to get rid of OPSystemUI.apk in place of systemui.apk so maybe more in line with stock android. But we'll see
@galaxys as if my prayers were answered, joined the Evo X TG group and there is now a OnePlus 10 group so it's in the works, seriously hope it's AnierinB, he did so well with the 8 pro.

Oh I've found it.
Hello All,
Very many thanks for your guide. It really helped me root my OP 10 PRO
I was wondering if it is possible to flash my OP ColorOS with OxygenOS EU/UK version you have uploaded?
I copied the 02b0d1b2508744e3a41115aeb274cccf.zip to the root folder and I tried installing via Oxygen Updater using the automatic method, but it fails every time.
If I try installing it manually, I have to download the Oxygen Updater via oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk.zip and rename to .apk. - I then launch System Update , click on settings and it says 'Move installation package into root directory' (which it is).
Have I missed a step?

Honestly mate i'm not sure, you're essentially changing region.
Have you looked into fastboot enhanced?
You can obtain the firmware from oxygen updater (it's 4.15GB the one i uploaded is only the boot image and patched boot image)
Then copy it to your computer and allow it to flash to your phone.
This isn't without risk mate and i've not done this before myself.

I am hoping too, because in this state oxygen os in this device is bad. Yeah, it is quite new, but hey, it is halfly baked. And not only evo x, but other ROMs I hope will come.

Thanks for your swift reply. I will wait until there is a verified method. For now, I will tread lightly with the rooted version hehe
Ive been searching for ages and still havent found how to install twrp on my a33, is it even possible? Im trying to root my a33 with magisk but i need twrp. Im stuck and i dont know what to do
I've rooted through Odin by following this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/are-these-rooting-guides-for-the-samsung-a33-5g-good.4475163/ but I'm waiting for TWRP to install custom rom too...
ive rooted my phone with magisk by using odin and a patched ap file by magisk, i installed my official software back because magisk kind of slowed down my devices, but now im waiting for twrp so i can install lineage os
Is TWRP the onl way to install lineage OS?
yes i guess

I don't own A33 and I don't know how to make any progress on this :c
I managed to get the Lineage OS "Light" GSI version by AndyYan https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-13-lineageos-20-light.4509315/ and it works well, but the process to install it is pretty involved and if you do anything wrong, you can easily soft-brick your phone. This process should also work for other gsi roms
First Download the Latest Version of Lineage OS "Light", of which the download link can be found in the thread above or here https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-light/ (There are three versions, vS "Vanilla with Superuser installed" vN "Non-SU Vanilla" and gN "Non-SU with GApps") If you want root, I suggest choosing one of the Non-SU versions and patching the stock AP tar with Magisk before starting this process as the Superuser version provides you a generic superuser app and installing magisk with it greets you with a abnormal state message every time you launch the Magisk Manager.
Second: Unpack the downloaded tar file using 7zip if on windows or with the tar command on linux, and then rename the unpacked .img file to system.img
Third: Get the stock firmware for your device using samloader or some other Samsung firmware downloader and unpack the archive file you get to a directory
Fourth: Unpack the AP tar file, you should get a bunch of files in .img.lz4 format.
Fifth: Find the super.img.lz4 file and decompress it using https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases and this command
Code:
lz4.exe -d super.img.lz4 super.img
From this point onwards you are better off on linux (I've only tested this on Ubuntu WSL so far), if you're on windows 10+, I suggest enabling Windows Subsystem for Linux and downloading and running the Ubuntu distro from the Microsoft store, you can google how to do that.
Sixth: Within Linux (Ubuntu in my case), install the "android-platform-system-core" package using your preferred package manager (I know that package is available on Ubuntu, but I haven't researched whether any other linux distro has that package available). The main thing we want from that package is the shell script "simg2img" as the super.img is currently sparsed (compressed using the Android Sparse image format).
Seventh: If you already did the steps so far in Linux, just go to whatever directory you have the super.img stored, otherwise if you did everything in windows and have a Ubuntu WSL distro ready, you can copy the super.img directly into the ubuntu distro by going into file explorer and scrolling all the way to the bottom of the navigation pane till you see Linux, of which you can expand to find a Ubuntu network share folder, expand that and drag and drop the super.img into your root folder, as well as the system.img file (renamed gsi rom file).
Eighth: Unsparse the super.img using the command:
Code:
simg2img super.img *whatever*.img
This will give you a raw disk image of super.img that's about 9-10 gb. You can name the output file to whatever you want as long as you can discern which img is which, in fact after running the command you can delete the original as you no longer need it.
From here is where the process gets a bit tricky and I fully recommend reading through this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...are-binary-3-may.4053065/page-4#post-82241115
Ignore the fact that the thread is for the Galaxy a51 as the steps work for the a33 as well. When you get to the point where you've unpacked the Super.img, copy the GSI system.img over the stock one.
Now the part that can easily cause you to mess up is that when repacking super.img, you have to get the size of each file, including the unsparsed super.img and input the size in bytes of each file in place of what is given in the long command used to repack the image. The numbers you have to change are as follows:
--device super:4294967296 (Change to the file size of super.img)
--group main:4293513600 (Calculate the sum of the size of each of the .img files that were contained in the super.img, minus product.img as that's not needed)
--partition vendor:readonly:342155264:main (Change to the byte size of your vendor.img, same goes for system, odm and vendor_dlkm. Not sure if vendor_dlkm is required as it's not shown in the guide, but just to be safe, I'd recommend adding that in the same format as shown above for vendor just change vendor to vendor_dlkm)
File sizes can be acquired using the command:
Code:
ls -l
Another thing to note is that all of the file sizes must be divisible by 512 as that's the block size the img uses, if they all are, then you're good to go, if one or more aren't you're probably dealing with a corrupt file or that one of the img files is sparsed or compressed in some way. Once you've confirmed the file sizes are good, run the command. You can ignore the "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" message as it doesn't seem to mean anything bad for the process. You don't have to worry if the sparsed image file size is divisible by 512 as it more than like won't be evenly divisible as the file is compressed now.
Once that's done you can take the new modified super.img (make sure it's named that) out of the linux distro and back to windows.
Recompress the super.img back into super.img.lz4 using the command:
Code:
lz4.exe -B6 --content-size super.img super.img.lz4
Now package the super.img.lz4 file with all of the other files from the AP back into a tar file, I suggest using the tar-md5-script-tool.zip from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sing-odin-without-twrp-phh-lineageos.4114435/
At this point, you can skip to step 24 on that guide and continue from there to install the custom rom, just remember to use super.img.lz4 instead of system.img.ext4.lz4, also ignore the .ext4 part, I think that's a device specific thing and the a33 from what I know doesn't have that.
Once you're done and you've booted up after flashing with ODIN, you should be greeted with the lovely Lineage OS Boot Screen
Bare in mind this is a barebones rom and many features may not work as intended since it's an unofficial build of Lineage OS and is intended to work with many devices without too many issues.
So, after wandering for a while at another forum, i found something that might be interesting since this guide is meant to create cusrom for the X3 GT which using same dimensity family as rn105g/m3pro5g
This article is not for complete beginners, but for those with some experience in compiling AOSP!
If you want to build custom ROM for POCO X3 GT for yourself
Follow the instructions on the AOSP website to set up your workstation or server. You know how to do that, right?
first, clone this repo git clone https://github.com/ShivamKumarJha/android_tools
, You need it to get some of the binaries you need
then, download the MIUI V13.0.4.0.SKPMIXM .I recommend this version because it has a corresponding version of the Fastboot package available for flashing
executing ./android_tools/setup.sh
to initialize the environment
executing ./android_tools/tools/rom_extract.sh
to dump the downloaded OTA MIUI package
After a few minutes, you can get a fully unpacked OTA update in the dump directory. Copy the "kernel" and "dtb" binaries from the boot directory to the base/Global directory in your clone chopin-prebuilts directory and rename the "kernel" to "Image.gz". Rename "dtb" to "dtb.img" (as in the China directory), and don't forget to copy dtbo.img to base/Global
then, use extractor.sh in the newly added Firmware_extractor directory in the tools directory to unpack the MIUI OTA package and mirror it to an empty directory you have created to get vendor.img and copy it to chopin-prebuilts/vendor/Global
Finally, modify USE_CN_AGPS := true
in the last line of aosp_choping.mk to IS_GLOBAL := true
Don't forget to comment out vendor.camera.aux.packagelist
in common/private/property_contexts
in the sepolicy directory of some custom ROMs,it will trigger the bootloop of the device!
Finally, you just need to use the aosp_choping.mk target and you're done
Just asking, this may be quite useful

Chopin have dimensity 1000, camelliam 700. Do you u think could be compatible? All gsi stock port of x3 gt i tried dont boot, but maybe is a gsi issue

Of course not, what i meant is instead using the chopin rom use the cammelian rom for getting the required prebuilt kernel and dtb
there's a mindos made forx3 nfc (is the same of gt?)... this is a very good rom. try to port could be interesting

I guess they're not the same since x3 nfc using Snapdragon, also what is mindos? First time heard about it :/

It's true not the same, it's a shame
Hello guys, I managed to install and run An Android 10/11/12 GSI Rom on my J3(SM-J330FN) and I'd like to share.
Step 1: You'll need to install project Kabob 2.0 to create the vender partition to actually boot up the GSI. It might act up to install but install it about 3-5 times until TWRP recognizes the vender partition.
Step 2: Download a64_bvn-vndklite type of GSI's for the phone. I researched and used treble info to actually check the needed type of GSI the phone can run. You must install no gapps, no root type of GSI.
Step 3: Extract the xz and you'll find the .img file, you can either copy it to the internal storage, use an OTG usb flash drive or a memory card. I prefer using external memory to install the Rom. Boot into TWRP, click install, click select image, find it wherever you put it and click on it. You'll be given about four options and they'll be two system partitions. I guess that the first one must be A and the other B, since the Rom naming scheme goes as bvn... Install in the second system partition. Reboot your device.
You might experience the device blacking at some point, press the home or power button and it will continue the boot animation. It's buggy because the vendor partitioner is a port from the J5 Prime because they both use the exynos 7570 chipset and there's no sound too. Even if you flash the audio fix from the project Kabob page/mega folder it just won't work. Even if you can't use the Rom as a daily driver, at least there's a possibility to breathing life into this piece of hardware

Project Kabob: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-project-kebab-2-0-v2-2-1-j330x-7570.4182787/
Works on all J3 2017 variants J330X.
