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.

sorry for my bad english
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.
I installed a Magisk Module, called Notch killer or something to that effect from magisk downloads. Reboot caused my phone to not boot, but be stuck on the boot animation forever.
Is there a way to uninstall the module alone or recover the system without losing data. I am more concerned about the storage card data and would like to keep that for sure. Any insights / help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer. I did go through all the threads and did find similar issue already addressed. For anyone that's keen, I ended up installing the stock boot.img and that ensured that I could boot. Out of curiosity, I tried to flash the patched boot.img and that ended up in the same loop again. Will search further as to how to remove that module first and then flash the patched boot.img, that should work somehow, not sure yet.

OK, finally got everything back to running the way it was. After getting the stock boot image, to root it again, I followed the following steps.
1. Download the full OTA image
2. Install Payload Dumper
3. Extract recovery.img using the Payload Dumper from the full image (Payload.bin)
4. Extract the recovery.img using Android Image Kitchen.
5. Modify the default.prop to enable adb in ramdisk folder
6. Repackaged the recovery.img
7. Flashed the modified recovery.img to recovery partition.
8. Booted to recovery.
9. On the PC, went into adb shell, navigated to /data/adb/modules and identified the rogue magisk module and deleted that folder completely.
10. Booted back to bootloader
11. Flashed the stock recovery back to the recovery partition.
12. Rebooted to recovery, just to verify that everything was intact.
13. Rebooted to bootloader
14. Installed the patched boot.img for root
15. Reboot the system
That made it work as it was before without any issues. Thanks a ton to the great community that had already solved these issues. Here are the links to the forum posts and tools used.

Here's a quick guide for rooting your Fairphone 4.
DISCLAIMER
I'm not the author of this method, merely sharing the informations that can be found on fairphone community forums.
All credit goes to hirnsushi from fairphone community forum.
I will not be held responsible for any damage caused by this operation, flashing your device always implies a risk of manufacturing your very own plastic brick.
PREREQUISITES
- Unlocked bootloader
- Computer with adb & fastboot
- Magisk app installed on your device
- FP4's official stock boot.img
HOW TO ROOT
1. Copy the boot.img file on your device's internal memory
2. Patch the boot.img file using Magisk -> Installation -> Patch a file
3. Transfer the patched boot.img back to your computer
4. Reboot to fastboot: Power + vol up from off device OR adb reboot bootloader
5. Boot from the patched img by running: fastboot boot patched_boot.img where patched_boot.img is actually replaced with the path and name of your patched file
DO NOT FLASH THE PATCHED IMG. BOOT ONLY.
6. Your device will take much much more time to boot than usual, be patient.
7. Once booted, open Magisk, run a direct Install and reboot.
You are now rooted.
This will break your ability to use Google Pay. Though a workaround is described below.
[OPTIONAL]- PASS SAFETYNET AND GPAY CERTIFICATION
1. Download and enable the following Magisk mod:
- Riru module
- Riru’s universal SafetyNet’s fix 2.1.2
- SQLLite for ARM aarch64 devices
- GPay SQLLite Fix 2.5
2. Enable Magisk hide and hide Magisk from the following packages:
- Google Play Store
- Google Pay
- Google Play Services
3. Now the part that is very important to follow otherwise it will not work :
- Put your phone in Airplane mode
- Clear all data from:
Google Play
Google Pay
Google Play Service: remember, clear ALL data, not just cache, even for this one
- Reboot
- Toggle Airplane mode off
You should now have a rooted device that can be used to pay for groceries. How cool is that.
If Pay app states device is not certified, there is high chances you did not follow exactly the described steps.
I really like a rooted phone as always. I will wait till there is a way to reinstall the standard ROM. Then it will be safe for me to try.
I'm on the latest update and not able to unlock the bootloader. I enabled OEM unlocking in developer options and rebooted to bootloader. On the first screen it says "Device status: Locked" and doesn't react on any fastboot command. When I enter recovery and start fastboot, each command will fail (command not present in this implementation). Any hints?
Finally managed to unlock the bootloader. The trick was to use an USB2.0 port on my PC.
I live in US so don't have one in my hands yet. Has anyone done a .QCN dump of the phone yet? Do you program the phone with Firehose EDL? Are there qualcomm drivers? I have so many questions.
I tried it with the latest boot.img avaliable here ('cause I have the A.094 ROM version on my phone)
Fairphone 4 Kernel Source Code — FAIRPHONE open source documentation
code.fairphone.com
https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.094-boot.img
And that works perfectly, that's my daily driving phone, and no problems
Generally speaking I can only but encourage you to register and browse the fairphone forum as there are much much more resources, guides and activity around the fairphone 4 than on xda.
I'm using latest magisk 24.1 and todays OTA fails. I tried with Zygisk on and off. In the magisk app under install there is a install to new slot thing but I feel like that's supposed to be used if it don't fail. will I brick my phone if i click it?
edit:
found this on fp forum
Fixing OTA after rooting
Because my FP is rooted, I couldn’t install the update right away. Message: Couldn't update, installation problem The problem is that the boot partition gets modified when you root your phone and this prevents the OTA package from installing. It’s described well on Quora. This is how I was...

My Build-Number say I am on:
FP4.FP3R.A.099.20220112
So it seems my Bootloader version should be A.099 but there is no file like this:
https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.099-boot.img
Is it okay to take a older boot img or another?
Latest seems to be
https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.094-boot.img
and before that:
https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-source/FP4/A.091-boot.img
yes I used 094 to root 099 yesterday, just don't flash the 094 or the modded 094.
I'm using latest magisk and safetynet-fix-v2.2.1, GPay.SQLite.Fix.v2.5, SQLite for ARM aarch64 devices.

okay, so you are on a magisk-boot-v-A.094? I thought Magisk, run a direct Install then is only able to patch your current running patched-A.094 boot.
Am I wrong?
I have rooted 099 with latest magisk 24.1 you only boot with the 094 versions to root the 099.

Yes that it true, you are have root now.
But I think you are on the bootloader version A.094.
the 099 came from OTA so why whould bootloader be 094?

I am just thinking that you are on 094. Perhaps I am wrong.
But in step 5 you boot the patched 094 img and with this 094 boot image you run the direct magisk install on step 7. If I a not wrong magisk used the current running boot-image. So magisk patched your 094.
Perhaps I am wrong, I am not sure.
EDIT:
You are right @Thomas.swe Sorry for confusing.
See here: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp4-root-access-is-possible-maybe-a-bit-risky/76839/144
EDIT2:
@Eznaa does "our device will take much much more time to boot than usual, be patient." mean more than 20 minutes?
EDIT3:
No I used the wrong bootloader. Iode OS has its own bootloader-image upsi
I had root working using this method on A.116-boot.img. I then uninstalled Magisk, did an OTA (to A.128), did "Install Magisk to inactive Slot" (as I successfully did in older OTA updates), but it bootloops. If I `fastboot flash boot A.128-boot.img` it boots normally, but as expected, without root.
I tried an `adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules` to make sure no Magisk modules are causing the bootloop. I am on Magisk 25.1, btw.
Do you have any idea what could cause the Magisk-patched image to bootloop?
Hi,
Did you try to patch A.128 and boot on it ?

I am thinking of buying Fairphone 4 and need magisk. Can anyone answer a question about the installation instructions above? Magisk website says to flash the magisk patched boot image but here the instruction is to first boot from the magisk patched image, not flash it, and then once booted run a direct install from the magisk app. What is the reason for this extra step?
Just a heads up. Root/Unlock voids FairPhone warranty unfortunately. Only reason I haven't bought this phone.
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.
Need help. I used AFT to flash April - good, I rebooted and flashed magisk patched image made with stable 25.2 - good, flashed Kirisakura Raviantha Kernel v1.0.2 - good. Magisk said update to 26.1 so I did. I did direct install to update to 26.1. My P6P rebooted ok. power off and now stuck in fastboot mode showing device state= unlocked, boot slot: a, Enter reason: boot failure. I've tried to flash stock boot.img to both slots and the new april bootloader.img to both slots....the phone won't boot past fastboot screen. It won't go into recovery mode either. Please help!!!!!!!!

Try using Android Flash Tool to get back to stock.
I tried. it failed.
Flash FailedDevice failed to boot into userspace fastboot. This usually indicates that the build you are flashing does not boot. Device serial logs can be helpful to determine the root cause of the failure

fastboot: error: Failed to boot into userspace fastboot; one or more components might be unbootable.
I'm not sure of the commands. Fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img" , same with the other files inside the zip inside the stock rom zip file
If i ran into this issue I'd try fastboot -w and fastboot update a custom rom.

Most need to be flashed in fastbootd I think. So to get there, fastboot reboot fastboot. You can flash recovery( boot, dtbo and vendor boot) in regular fastboot. That should fix everything because it will fully get rid of magisk
I used AFT and forced flashed partitions / wiped (kept bootloader unlock) and it's alive again!
Simply out of curiosity - what made you update magisk? Are there "must have" features in the new release?

I'm all for change but I don't enjoy being a guinea pig .lol
If I have an application ( magisk 25.2) that works flawlessly I will hold off a few days prior to jumping on the band wagon ( unless the new version has something I really need) - more often than not there are issues. I prefer to read about them rather than experiencing on my own skin. Hence my question.

It's not a question of knowledge but rather the things that are beyond ones control - possibility of bugs in the code. For example look what happened recently with platform tools.
@jcp2 With all the things you flash, you should also know what that is. Then it would be much easier for you to figure it out why your device is in an unbootable state.
Magisk, Kernel, fastbootd... have one thing in common: your boot.img!
It doesn't make sense to let Magisk patch your boot.img and installing a custom kernel without Magisk installed afterwards. In that case Magisk gets overwritten.
Your fastbootd is only a binary and located in the recovery's /sbin folder. Due to the fact that your P6P is an A/B slot device, your recovery is part of the boot.img.
Flash your stock boot.img from the image-raven-BUILD_NO.zip that you'll find inside your firmware download.
I had already tried flashing stock boot image to both slots. I had to use AFT and force flash all partions. I'm up and running/ rooted. I just have to reinstall apps .
Android flash tool is by far the easiest way to go for sure. Happy you got it fixed

6. fast boot flash
That ADB Command does nothing.
The correct command is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img if you want to flash the boot.img
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted. Oswald Boelcke}
You should give us the correct command. The syntax is (see fastboot -h):
Code:
flash PARTITION [FILENAME] Flash given partition, using the image from
$ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT if no filename is given.
you can't use "fast boot" for a binary that's called "fastboot(.exe)".
