When it comes to root, OnePlus is actually more 'Android' main stream than Samsung:
OnePlus: unlock phone, fastboot flash or boot TWRP and flash Magisk on Oreo (Magisk or SuperSU on Nougat)
Samsung: needs Odin or heimdall and/or Chainfire root magic for each model.

I get that. I was looking for a way to root without going through or changing recovery. The old methods. Just root with nothing else that's what i meant by mainstream. Plus all Samsung are available in store. This phone is not. Making it less mainstream the samsung

Once you are root, you can restore original recovery.
You cannot root without a custom recovery. Every phone has to be like that since MM. The days of 1 click root apk are dead.

that is correct, but you can (if you want)
- install custom recovery

You can... With Magisk, you can patch a copy of your device's boot image and then flash that with fastboot. Done, no custom recovery needed.

I want to install magisk, but I still want to be able to take ota updates. I also want to keep the stock recovery if possible. Is there a good way to do this, or will I have to flash TWRP?
Edit: it looks like magisk v15 is bricking 7x's. Should I wait a bit before I try to install it?

I Do Believe You Need To Be Rooted To Install Magisk...
And to root you have to Unlock your Bootloader.
Your device will Reject Any and All O.T.A.'s with an Unsecure (A.K.A. Unlocked) Bootloader.
That's why you get that hidious *Warning!* message everytime you reboot.. your device knows it's unsecured.
You can sideload all the upcoming O.T.A.'s when someone makes them available.. I kinda doubt that is going to be on day one though.
The Nice thing about those of you that are rooting is, you can just pay the $18.00 bucks and bring your phone back to stock with that D.C. tool that is being discussed in the Q & A.. I assume it works on all variants ?
Anyway.. good luck to you if you do decide to go ahead and unlock that Bootloader.

Magisk is a rooting method, I know from experience that you don't already have to have a rooted phone. Also magisk v14 added a feature where you could patch the boot image and flash it via adb.
What's this "D.C. tool"? It sound interesting

You Are 100% Correct...
You're conversing with an old "SuperSu" guy here.. I totally forgot mag's is a rooter like Su.
But you still have to Unlock that loader to make it happen.. You are not going to get any O.T.A.'s
I know Magisk can hide root for things like netflix... But not to recieve Vendor Updates.. unless things have changed drasticly.. please correct me if I'm wrong..
But again.. sideloading is always an option.

When It Comes To Huawei.. I'm A Virgin...
Every other phone I've seen, the O.T.A. will notify you that your system has been "Modified" and will not attempt the update.
When you root.. Your Phone Becomes Insecure.. and is vernable to Malware, Virus, Hacks and god knows what else.
O.T.A.'s are Signed Packages.. They Ain't Going To Da Hood To Do Business...
Keep it locked if you want everything on day 1.. Then you can Root to your hearts content.

Note u definitely can't take OTA updates with Magisk installed. What's worse is the normal recovery doesn't have a proper update option so u'll have to use Huawei's Dload method which fails if u have tampered the system. Restoring to the stock ROM with a locked bootloader is also incredibly hard on Huawei/Honor devices.

Here's how to take ota updates with magisk. But what your saying is Huawei doesn't use recovery to update, they use proprietary methods that detect system modifications, right?

Thats not what I meant, Huawei does use the recovery to update like any other phone but their recovery doesn't let the user to sideload their own OTA files. U'll have to use their Dload method which is an absolute pain.
Further, the Magisk page u posted here mentions the system and vendor must not be modded so that means you can't use any app like Titanium Backup to block or uninstall apps since it tampers the system. Thats really annoying since the whole point of rooting is to modify the system. Also if u used TWRP then u will have a hard time trying to find the right recovery file corresponding to the firmware u r on. It is really hard for Honor devices since u'll have to download a large file and, using a tool on XDA, extract the images u need. IMO rooting this phone is worth it right now especially since it is new and will constantly be recieving OTAs in the coming months.

Hello,
I've had the A70 for about a year now and I'm really itching to get this rooted! I can see a few posts that people are successfully rooting their A70.
What's the best 100% working method to install Trwp and rooted? I don't want a method that you have to mess about with pressing buttons just to make the phone boot I'd rather wait for a fully working method.
Thanks

And for me. First time and very easy to follow instructions.
The last time I rooted a phone was 3 years ago, in general whenever I try to root a phone I feel like the entire process has changed and im completely out of the loop.
All i want to do is make it so i can install f.lux and youtube vanced, how do I do this?
I know that I need to install magisk but apparently I also need to enable the bootloader whatever that means?
Sideload, flashing, caprip, boot-image, fastboot, TWRP: these words mean nothing to me, they serve to confuse and demean me.
Is there any resource for figuring out how to go from a new out-of-the-box moto g30 to one which lets me install youtube vanced? Usually I'd look up a tutorial but the only one I found was in spanish and I don't speak spanish.
Thanks for any help you can give.
First things first.
Android has Night Light built in and Youtube Vanced doesn't need root.
But, if you're still serious about rooting and installing magisk to make use of all of the really useful modules, you'll need:
An Unlocked Bootloader: Motorola's Own Guide
Keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone and void its warranty, so be absolutely sure you want to do it and back up your files.
Then you'll need to manually patch a boot.img from your stock ROM (can be found here.) and flash it using ADB (Android Debug Bridge) using your PC.
I rooted mine within 3 days of owning it and have been enjoying it with no problems whatsoever ever since.
I used this guide as reference. If you have any questions you can always just message me here or on Telegram (@Kuntitled).

Unlocking the bootloader
You can flash a custom system only if the bootloader allows it. Note, though, that the bootloader is locked by default. You can unlock the bootloader, but doing so deletes user data for privacy reasons. After unlocking, all data on the device is erased, that is, both private app data and shared data accessible over USB (including photos and movies). Before attempting to unlock the bootloader, back up any important files on the device. - https://source.android.com/setup/build/running

The boot.img is the fie that creates the boot partition
/bootThis is the boot partition of your Android device, as the name suggests. It includes the android kernel and the ramdisk. The device will not boot without this partition. Wiping this partition from recovery should only be done if absolutely required and once done, the device must NOT be rebooted before installing a new one, which can be done by installing a ROM that includes a /boot partition.

Twrp is a Custom recovery,

a custom recovery has more options
/recoveryThis is specially designed for backup. The recovery partition can be considered as an alternative boot partition, that lets the device boot into a recovery console for performing advanced recovery and maintenance operations on it. -RootJunky

Nope, any Samsung phone that's sold in the US aka having the letter U or DL "not too sure about ones with U1" cannot be rooted due to having a locked down bootloader and no OEM unlock option, it's been like this ever since the S6 back in 2015. an exploit for the SM-A236U and the SM-S236DL would need to be found to even get close to rooting.
this method works. BUT......
i can root my phone. magisk works fine, but apparently I don't have write permissions on /system
it is unusable because android is annoying me with "service provider update.... the phone needs to be restarted." you can't click away either. over and over again.
SM-A236B
So i unlocked the bootloader and flashed with odin magisk patched boot.img and everything is working fine. Except SELinux, which is in permissive mode now. Jeez.
Thinking about getting this phone after having some difficulties with a Note10+, considering running either rooted stock or LineageOS.
However I noticed there doesn't seem to be a "how to root" thread anywhere here.
Is it just a matter of installing Magisk and letting it do it's thing? I found LineageOS's instructions on unlocking the bootloader, but nothing beyond that: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lisa/install
Does anyone here run rooted stock? Or would most people recommend running a custom ROM instead?
Are there any problems or difficulties I need to be aware of before I buy?
I see there's no 'lisa' TWRP build. what's the "best" recovery to use for this phone?

Follow standard/offícial instructions (available on the Magisk GitHub page!!!) and that's it.
No need to have the same thread for every phone
However, for additional things like hiding the root, etc, there are generic threads on XDA, again not specific for this or that phone
There are threads about recoveries, particularly for Orange Fox for Lisa
But again, Magisk (by official instructions) does not require TWRP/OrangeFox for the installation, instead use the officially recommended patch & flash method
