Hi,
I just unrooted my phone. Now it says i need to flash stock boot.img to complete unrooting. But i have no clue what it is and where to find it.
Anyone?
1. Download your firmware on a desktop.
2. Extract AP.
3. Using 7 ZIP modded extract "boot.img.lz4" from AP.
4. Open "boot.img.lz4" with the same app and extract "boot.img". Then flash it into TWRP.

It's a flashable zip, boot into recovery, perform a wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash this
If you go into bootloop perform a wipe again after install :good:

Hello @Darklordevo,
Would you happen to have all the files needed? There appears to only be one file in the link.
Thanks in advance.

No I want just the system.img file for my own use from the ZIP
Hey everyone, I'm trying to root my Xiaomi Mi a2 lite without twrp since, if i understand correctly, it needs the data partition to be formatted as it cant decrypt it, and I don't really need it anyway. I wanted to use Magisk manager to patch a boot image and flash it to get root, but the app explicitly asks for .img files. I've been looking everywhere and I can only find zip archives or .tgz files of my firmware. I'd appreciate any help, and btw my build number is 11.0.21.0

A TGZ file is a TAR Archive file that has been compressed using Gnu Zip (gzip).
You can uncompress tgz files using 7-zip:

oooh thank you so much, feeling pretty stupid rn
Obviously, first you need unlocked bootloader, or your device will get bricked.
1. Download the full stock rom.
2. Extract these two files: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
3. COMPRESS those two files to TAR. (Attention: TAR and NOT tgz.)
4. Open the magisk app and click on "install to file".
5. Select the COMPRESSED TAR file and wait until it finish.
6. Open the folder "Downloads" and uncompress the file magisk_patched.tar to get the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img.
7. Flash the patched boot.img and the patched vbmeta.img. (You need to flash patched vbmeta because vbmeta verifies if any partition was changed.)
Done, you are rooted.
Warning: magisk app will ignore if you try to patch ONLY the vbmeta.img, you need to patch vbmeta.img together boot.img compressed in only one file.

Actually i've looked around and everyone only shares the boot file, maybe flashing vbmeta is unnecessary for this device?
Maybe.
Is there any way to root a gsi? All the tutorials seem to make you flash stock everything. Any way to get magisk running on a android 12 gsi? (Descendant os)

You can get the boot.img from the stock firmware, lemme explain it to you:
1. Get the firmware.
2. Open the file beginning with AP
3. Extract boot.img.lz4 with WinRAR
4. Get lz4, drag the file into the lz4.exe
5. There is a new file named "boot.img"
6. install 7Zip
7. right click > 7Zip > Add to archive
8. make sure its .tar
9. Enable debugging mode and drag drop the boot.tar into any folder in your phone
10. Patch it with magisk
11. Drag it back to your PC.
12. Open ODIN, then put the magisk_patched... into the AP slot.
13. Press "Start" (i think)

1. It wont replace your rom
2. You sadly have to do a factory reset, then reflash the boot.tar again

Any reason for the factory reset?
i was able to root my phone running crdroid 8.8. all i did was first download the firmware. after that i copied over the AP file of the firmware to my phone and then selected that in magisk to patch it. after it patched it i copied it back over to my pc and flashed the ap file along with bl, cp and CSC file. it reset and it worked fine! now any GSI i try and i install magisk v22.0 apk it works just fine.
