Never tried, but even though root may not be needed, unlocked bootloader probably is. Magisk non-system works by patching boot img... If you unlock bootloader you probably can use it.

You can unlocked bl by official Sony method, then flash recovery with adb. Boot to recovery and flash Magisk.

You can try flashing recovery within locked bl, but I don't think it would work.

So, if you was wondering it, no, cant flash it with locked bl.
At the moment Backup ta didnt work, will check that thread
And thanx the help, nice to have you on z1c forum :good:
perfect. thx! i was already wondering, if i had to downgrade my z1c in order to get the recovery back. but now, how i do i flash magisk from here?
when i try to flash, i get an error message saying, that the ftf is in sony elf32 format and that i need bootbridge from @AdrianDC to flash.
anyone ever did that or has a better idea?
just tried it now and ended up in a bootlop
It is many months after this post, but in case this helps anyone, here is the answer.
BootBridge method is pretty simple and it worked for me.
On an un-rooted device. (important)
Just rename magisk zip to "install.zip" put it in a folder called install.
Then with 7zip, create a zip-file, include the bootbridge folders, "META-INF" and "scripts" with the "install folder" you just created.
Then name it "anything_you_like.zip" and flash with TWRP
Basically Magisk is SuperSU alternative and provides SuperSU service for your device. ( roots it )
No problems for me at this point. Working on 14.5.A.0.270 and can also get working on 14.6.A.0.236 but have other problems related to getting compatible recovery on 236.
Eventually in recovery, system mount and unmount break for me, then other mounts eventually fail after trying to get Nanodroid working (My Goal to UnGoogle my Z1c) and can't wipe format or anything (only way to fix is reflash with flashtool)
Deodexed ROM seems to be necessary for Nanodroid and this is causing additional problems for me.
If I have to run with unlocked bootloader, I think AOSP may be a better starting point.
Hello Everyone!
If i unlock bootloader and install magisk, afterwards relock the bootloader, then still magisk will work or i need to keep the bootloader unlocked?
Is there anyway to install magisk without unlocking bootloader on A2 Lite?
There is no way to install Magisk without unlocking the bootloader. Magisk = Root which means you have to have unlocked bootloader. You lock your bootloader after you install Magisk and you get bootloop.
Do not relock the Bootloader. It will prevent magisk from working correctly and updating.
I tried unlocking the bootloader and flash magisk and twrp but failed. Please guys help me how can I root my device with magisk and twrp/any adb recovery.
I'm very new at this stuff,and it's my first OnePlus too, so I'm little bit of scared right now....
I have 10.0.8 HD65AA and just unlocked the bootloader with fastboot oem unlock and booted the patched boot image (don't flash!) With fastboot boot patched_img and installed magisk directly. There's already a couple of guides here for you to follow
I used this guide:

Hi everyone ,
I wandered for months in this forum but I didn't really find how to root my device. There are some tutorial for the "1952-4" but it's not my device. I really don't want to do risky things flashing wrong files. At this point I don't even know if my model can be rooted.
Here are useful infos :
Device : Moto G7 Play XT1952-1
Firmware : Android 9 (security patch december, 1st 2018)
Build : PPY29.68-28
Bootloader unlocked : YES
At this point, what am I supposed to do ? Is there a TWRP image that would work for sure ?
Thank you.
I managed to root my xt1952-4 but I couldn't use the methods on here as I would have TWRP and Magisk root but would lose wifi. So I decided to install magisk, extract the Boot.img file from the rom and patch it with magisk. I flashed it back using "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and now I have root and working wifi but no recovery.

Interesting, thanks.
I don't know if I can risk doing that on my XT1952-1 though, you never know how it'd behave.
If somebody successfully rooted XT1952-1, please let me know
How and what do I need to root My Motorola g30
go to magsik app, pach boot image, flash it in fastboot. you need to have unlocked bootloader
