I'm just getting sick of waiting. I tried unlocking the bootloader 30 days ago when it told me to wait 720 hours and now 30 days later I need to wait additional 360 hours?
now is is possible to unlock the bootloader without waiting, like just straight up installing twrp without playing the waiting game?
hard to explain, I hope you get what I mean
I guess no. Unlocking bootloader is performed with token which is generated on xiaomi's servers.

You can root your phone using Magisk Manager to patch boot.img and re-flashing Miui.

From Magisk thread:
Via Magisk Manager:
This method does not need root, and also does not require a custom recovery.
However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and you also have to be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN
Install the latest Magisk Manager
If you're planning to flash the patched boot image through ODIN, go to Settings > Update Settings > Patched Boot Output Format, and select .img.tar. For normal users leave it as the default .img
Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file
Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Copy the patched boot image to your PC. If you can't find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/patched_boot.img[.tar]
Flash the patched boot image to your device and reboot. Here is the command if using fastboot:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img
Sometimes it is good to investigate before speaking, have a good day :fingers-crossed:.

First time im hearing of this. Im 90% sure that wont work, as it shouldnt allow you to flash unsigned boot.img on locked bootloader. Heck, im 99.9% sure it wont work. So yeah, its good thing to investigate before speaking lol

similar to pushing whole rooted system.img back in the days there was no magisk.
Hi forum readers,
I think about buying an A32 4G (SM-A325FZKGEUB). In two threads here it was mentioned that rooting was successful. But how about twrp? I found an article on unofficialtwrp.com with description and download of an unofficial twrp and vbmeta.img with another tool for also unencrypting the data partition.
1) With all previous phones I only used xda stuff. What do you think, is it safe to use unofficial twrp?
2) If that twrp fails, I think it is possible to get the original recovery back using Odin. Correct?
3) Is it safe to use the vbmeta.inf and tool to unencrypt the data? I don't need Knox and also not Safety Net. Would it be possible to revert to factory status using Odin?
4) Ist necessary to unlock the bootloader for only flashing the Magisk-patched boot image? How about encrypted data?
Many Greetings
Florian
To root you need bootloader unlocked, if it isn't your phone will fail to flash and it will boot on EDM. If twrp fails you can always flash a .tar as AP containing only recovery.img
@ZModder, thank you for your hint. I was already successfully unlocking and installing Magisk 23. Because of your hint I dared to flash TWRP from the above mentioned web site. It didn't boot. But I could successfully return to original recovery. So waiting for a real device specific TWRP.

1st: Download appropriate firmware for your region and version of Samsung.
2nd: Unlock your bootloader. This will wipe your data.
3rd. Download magisk manager from github.
4th. Open Magisk and check what Ramdisk says.
4th: Extract your downloader firmware. There should be AP.... File. Open it via 7zip. Inside there you should have boot.img.lz4. Extract that file. If Ramdisk Says NO. Do the same with recovery file.
5th: Zip your boot file to tar format and place it on your phone.
6th: Open Magisk. and Press first Install Button.
7th: Press Select and Patch File. Magisk should create a new file inside Downloads folder. Called magisk..patched...etc Insert that file inside your pc. Do the same with recovery file if needed.
8th. Get into Download mode. You can do this by first turning off your phone and pressing both volume keys as you insert your usb cable.
9th: Open Odin File. If you have recovery file uncheck autoreboot. Place your patched file inside AP section.
10th: Reboot your phone and wipe your data.
11th: Volia!
I found the steps to install magisk when using a custom recovery a bit confusing (I extracted boot.img from the stock image and then bootlooped my device after I flashed the patched boot.img...), so I thought I'd write this after having recently done it myself to help anyone else running into trouble. I did this on a Poco F3 global version with 12.5.4 firmware.
Prerequisites:
- LineageOS recovery + LOS already installed (so you can use Magisk app to patch recovery.img)
- working adb, fastboot, and so on
- download Magisk-v23.0.apk from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0
- download lineage-18.1-*-recovery-alioth.img from https://download.lineageos.org/alioth
Basing steps on https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
1. Copy recovery-alioth.img to phone; I used 'adb push lineage-18.1-20211127-recovery-alioth.img /sdcard/Download/alioth.img' to do this
2. Open Magisk app and select Install for Magisk near the top
3. Use 'Select and Patch a File' method, finding and selecting the alioth.img file
4. Click LET'S GO and let it finish.
5. Retrieve the image from the phone; I used 'adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched-[random-strings].img ~/patchedboot.img'
6. Reboot phone to bootloader by running 'adb reboot bootloader'
7. Flash patched image via 'fastboot flash boot ~/patchedboot.img'
8. Reboot into system via 'fastboot reboot'
9. Proceed to installing modules.
I was able to install Magisk hide and props config and set device fingerprint to OnePlus 6T on Android 11, hiding root from almost all apps, and then pass safetynet. Any questions or input is appreciated, I hope this helps someone!
I just flashed Lineage, rebooted, set up the phone, rebooted into recovery and then flashed Magisk.apk after renaming it to Magisk.zip. After a reboot I opened the Magisk app (which was automatically installed when flashing Magisk) for the first time and it prompted me to do some additional operations. It survived an OTA update so it should keep working in the future.
The firts mentioned method does not seem to work with the new Magisk 24.1
Does anyone have a solution to this?
(Never mind ..you need to uninstall the earlier version,then it will work)

Has anyone had issues with this? Some days ago this worked fine, but now Magisk does not let me access the "Modules" tab and Zygisk is not in the options in Settings anymore. I have a POCO F3 on Android 12, set the Fingerprint to a Redmi Note 10 to pass the CTS test (which worked and still works)
Any help would be much appreciated!

You had update yesterday I think. Your magisk is no longer there - boot image is overwritten after ota update.
Open magisk and check, it'll likely say not installed

Thanks for your reply. I'm quite new at this so I'm not sure what's going on: the latest Magisk release is still v25.2 and after following again these instructions but for v25.2, I still have the same issue. What should I do to fix this?
EDIT: you're right that it does say that it's not installed, but I followed the procedure from some days ago and it doesn't seem to fix it.
Many thanks again!

Simplest option is to reboot phone to recovery , select adb update , connect to pc and do "adb sideload magisk.apk"
It will patch image for you, don't rename it to .zip or anything

I think this is the equivalent of flashing the apk as zip in custom recovery, which is deprecated.
I compared the official one with the first post and I think the following is missing in the first post:
(Optional) If your device has a separate vbmeta partition, you can patch the vbmeta partition with command:
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
From:
Installation
The Magic Mask for Android
topjohnwu.github.io
Poco has a vbmeta but i never executed this step. The instructions say that it is optional but they don't specify it.
I used the first post since LOS18.1 and no problems. Since LOS19.1 updates give me bootloops so after some repair tries (and failed twrp restore) I did a fresh install and did not take the updates anymore. No idea if it has something to do with magisk or patching vbmeta. Soon gonna try to update LOS with magisk disabled.

Does this still apply to LOS20 and Magisk 25.2? After doing this, do I still need to extract the patched image?
Hi,
I run the Amazing Evo-X 7.4, that comes with it`s own built in Recovery, it`s OK but i prefer Orangefox or TWRP, as these have more features than Evo-X STOCK.
I use a program called "Temporary Recovery" and is installed using FASTBOOT and a PC, it doesn`t overwrite the original Recovery, in case you need stock for OTA Updates.
Once in Temporary Recovery i can install all my goodies, including Magisk v25.2 as you would with normal recovery,
once your finished installing your programs you have the option to make either OrangeFox or TWRP (temporary recovery) permanent.
Example below:
I install Evo-X and it overwrites my permanent recovery ,
i Re-boot my F3 into Fastboot mode and connect it to my PC,
I run "RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat", i then have a choice of either TWRP or OrangeFox, once installed my F3 reboots into Temporary recovery, i then make Recovery permanent, Re-install "Magisk-v25.2.apk" from with-in recovery and carry on where i left off.
If your interested and would like to try it out, you can find
"Temporary Recovery" on the Evo-X thread page 1, post 20,
I hope you find this useful

Not sure this is going to fit my particular needs. I'm looking to use LineageOS' recovery and stock, along with Magisk.
I had previously tried patching LineageOS' recovery with Magisk, pulling the patched .img to my desktop, then tried to fastboot flash boot <Magisk-patched>, but when I went to reboot to the system, it looped back to recovery, so I ended up going back a few steps to redo LOS recovery and LOS properly flashed.
At this point, I have a working LineageOS and recovery. I booted to the system, installed Magisk-v25.2, opened it, and did a direct install -which, if I remember correctly- is the temporary root I need in order to get root in whatever the next step is.
I just don't know what to do next.

lol... flashing patched image is all you need to do
Either via adb sideloading magisk.apk or manually flashing image both will suffice.
Just look at magisk app, if it doesn't say not installed then it is working
Hello! As written in the title, i updated my already rooted poco f3 to the latest miui 14.0.7 (european rom) and then proceded to flash magisk. I followed everything to a T (extract boot from payload, patch in magisk, check partitions) and flashed it in fastboot. The terminal said "flashed to boot_a succesfully" so i rebooted. After unlocking the phone though, just a few seconds later it starts reooting on its own and prompts me to the miui recovery. I tried flashing the patched boot image both to boot_a and boot_b after this error, but it keeps happening.
Any help? i just don't want to lose my data.
EDIT: Thankfully i made it. The error was caused by a magisk module, so in the adb shell just run magisk --remove-modules and the error should be solved. Info from https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/...debugging,and automatically reboot the device.
Would it work again if i flashed the stock boot image?

Yes, or you can reflash the ROM.zip (without data-format of course)
OrangeFox Recovery has a Magisk Module Manager built-in and lets you disable/remove individual Modules.
Otherwise, you can simply put an empty file called "disable" or "remove", into /data/adb/modules/your_module_here/
On the next boot, Magisk will take action accordingly.
Also, maybe this is easier for you, but you can simply use a TWRP / OrangeFox Backup of the boot-partition, to patch Magisk.
Then you can rename the Magisk-patched Boot.img back into "boot.emmc.win", put it into Backup folder and replace with original Boot backup file, and restore with TWRP/OF.
Doesn't require a PC.
Hi,
When my phone automatically updated to MIUI 14, a error message appeared and then, my root was lost...
Il tryed several times to get it back patching boot.img from Magisk.. (canary version included), but when I install patched.img my phone does not start and i have to get back to boot.img
Any ideas?
Rename magisk from apk to zip, and then flash the magisk zip from recovery

Hi,
Boot your F3 into fastboot mode and connect to a PC,
Download "Temporary Recovery" and unzip, run the "RUN ME Temporary TWRP A13-Orange Fox Recovery.bat" file and choose TWRP.
Once rebooted select: Advanced from within TWRP and tap "Flash current TWRP", copy over the included Magisk files into the internal memory (I use a OTG adaptor and USB Stick), install Magisk V26.1.apk, when in recovery you can install Magisk as a .apk format.
Included are the files i use when switching between roms, included are the latest, Magisk V26.1 and Magisk Delta, it also includes the latest versions of TRWP/OrangeFox recovery and other goodies,
I hope it helps
It's possible that the MIUI 14 update may have caused compatibility issues with your previous root method. You could try using a different root method or a different version of Magisk. Additionally, make sure you are following the correct steps for patching the boot.img file and installing it. If the issue persists, you may need to wait for an updated version of Magisk or seek assistance from the Magisk community.
you can try patching Boot.img instead of flashing Magisk.zip
you can do a OrangeFox/TWRP Backup of Boot-partition and patch the resulting "boot.emmc.win" file in Magisk App, because it's actually just a normal partition-image.
then flash the magisk-patched image file.
no pc required. just a custom recovery.
you can try the new Magisk v26.1, or Magisk Alpha (not affiliated with official Magisk).
i use Magisk v26.1 Official but I'm on AOSP
