device : chinese RN8P
rom : chinese swapped to global
hi,
tried to find another method to root the RN8P, chinese version with global rom
followed this guide to patch boot.img, extracted from global rom package 10.4.1.0 global
https://romprovider.com/2019/01/create-pre-rooted-patched-boot-img-magisk/
in the end, we should theorically root after flash patched.img in fastboot mode, and install magisk after that with magisk manager
for now patched boot.img by magisk manager with magisk20.zip make a patched img 10mb...the original file makes 60mb
any ideas from experts?
thanx

make a backup of the patched boot.img with twrp. it will be like boot.emmc.win
rename .win by .img
i dont have twrp and you say to me to backup with twrp
You can try magisk in recovery
You can extract boot without installing twrp
Get twrp working on the phone and use command
Fastboot boot " twrp.img "
This will redirect you to twrp and you can use it without replacing the recovery of the phone and when you restart the device you will be using your phone normally
I tried to do the same thing
Fastboot boot patched_boot.img to test the img from magisk but the phone boot loop
Maybe i will try to backup boot using twrp and patch it with magisk
i dont know what they do with those phones but they were not such a pain in the ass to mod in the past
Hi all,
Have seen a lot of requests for patched boot images on these threads so thought i'd share a guide on how to get it yourself as well as all the files required, plus the patched boot.img if you just want to go ahead and boot/flash it without obtaining one yourself
Please read the process before committing to proceeding, so you know what's required and what you should and shouldn't use!
Stock and patched images are UK/ EU but the guides are universal and could be used on multiple devices.
NOTE:
For these guides the versions used are:

1st
Extracting a boot.img using Payload dumper
Pre-requisites
A device with a working version of magisk manager installed, simply change the channel to the version outlined in the list above relevant to your firmware then select install / update:
A Windows 10 computer / laptop
A full update downloaded firmware zip for your model (recommend oxygen updater)
Payload dumper program for Windows.
Process
On your computer
1. Download and copy the PAYLOAD DUMPER folder to your desktop, there will be one folder with 2 files and 2 folders inside.
Download from here: https://mega.nz/folder/vU00FZDa#PIEfjl5w5wonyNAwHW3FBQ
2. Download the firmware of your choice and open it using Winrar or a similar zip program, extract the file called payload.bin to the folder within the payload folder called payload_input.
3. Run the program payload_dumper.exe, a Command prompt will open to show extraction progress (this will extract a bunch of files to the payload_output folder) allow it to completely finish (the CMD window will close automatically)
4. One of the files will be called boot.img, this is the file we'll be patching, copy this to your phone, root of storage which is called /sdcard.
On your phone
5. Open up Magisk and click Install / Update, if you don't see update then change channel, so this by changing the channel in magisk settings, it'll then show the install/ update buttons.
6. Select "Select and Patch a file" it'll open up a file browser, navigate to the boot.img you copied earlier and select it, allow it to complete (this will output a file called "magisk_patched" (which will be in the Downloads folder)
You now have a patched boot.img ready to flash to either slot with fastboot or boot via fastboot, would recommend booting as this is risk free, if it's a bad image for whatever reason and you choose to flash then your phone may bootloop.
NOTE** Some people have noticed that an already patched boot.img when flashed can fail and cause a boot loop when flashed,so if you have downloaded a magisk_patched img from somewhere else then you WILL need to re-patch it on your own device preferably using the afore mentioned magisk manager based on what firmware it's from.
If you intend to follow the guide below with your own patched img then you shouldn't need to patch twice but it won't hurt if you do.
2nd
Upgrading from rooted Android 10 to rooted Android 11
Pre-requisites
A rooted device running Android 10
Canary magisk manager or beta version that works:
Windows 10 computer / laptop
Process
On your phone
1. Disable all Magisk mods
2. Download the Android 11 firmware using Oxygen updater DO NOT INSTALL AUTOMATICALLY, WE NEED TO INSTALL MANUALLY!!!
3. Once downloaded; open settings / system / system updates
4. Click the settings cog and click 'install from local storage'
5. Locate the firmware you downloaded, it's in the root of storage.
6. Click install and allow it to finish, DO NOT CLICK THE REBOOT BUTTON YET!
7. Open Magisk. manager and click "Install / Update"
8. Click "Install to Inactive slot (After OTA) (Once complete, click reboot)
As this is a new base the first boot may take a little longer.
Your phone will now boot with Android 11.0.0 and will have retained root, all your apps will remain as you left them.
Be careful what mods you re-enable as they may not be 11 compatible.
3rd
Update from 11 stable to 11+ stable whilst retaining root
Guide
1. Download the relevant firmware for your device via oxygen updater
2. Open Magisk and remove all the modules you have installed, then reboot
**NOTE- At this point I tend to copy out the whole firmware to my computer, incase I need it in the future, the boot img and patched boot img are at the foot of this guide, I'll always upload the latest firmware as soon as it comes out for the UK/EU model
3. Open up settings / system / system updates , click the cog and select "Local Upgrade" the file should be listed on screen, if not then move the file to the root of your phones storage.
4. Click install and allow it to go through the process
**NOTE- DO NOT REBOOT AT THIS POINT YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO PATCH ON THE FLY, SIMPLY BACK OUT OF THE SCREEN WHICH SAYS "INSTALLATION COMPLETED. RESTART TO EXPERIENCE NEW FEATURES"
5. Open up magisk and click install (you may see two install buttons, top one is magisk and the bottom is magisk manager, we need the top one)
6. You'll be faced with a screen that has several options, you want to select "Install to Inactive slot (After OTA)" then select "LET'S GO" once complete click reboot.
7. Once your phones booted back up your system / files should all remain as they were and you should have root access.
You can now install all your modules again so long as they're compatible with the firmware you've just updated to.
4th
Rooting using fastboot commands
Method 1
Booting the patched image
1. Obtain a patched boot image for your device variant preferably using payload dumper or download one of mine from the foot of this guide or if you've just performed the above guide you should already have a functional one, copy this file to your fastboot folder on your computer
**NOTE - The above suggested downloads are for the EU / UK variant- if you have another model / firmware please use that instead, If you did not obtain the boot.img from a firmware and patch it yourself, you will need to patch it again in magisk manager to avoid a bootloop, if you still get a bootloop it's best to obtain one yourself using the guide at the top of this post.
2. Reboot your phone to fastboot
and connect to your computer.
3. Boot the magisk patched img
fastboot boot magisk_patched (or name of your patched boot img)
Your phone should now boot automatically, you should now be rooted but we need to make this permanent, if you were to reboot you would lose root.
4. Open magisk manager and click install/update, if you are missing the install/ update buttons, change magisk version to beta in magisk settings and install the update, the buttons should then show.
5. Select Direct install (recommended) then click ok.
6. Allow magisk to permanently root your device then click reboot.
You should now boot and remain rooted.
Method 2
Flashing to both slots
1. Obtain a patched boot img for your device variant or download one of mine from the foot of this guide or if you've just performed the above guide you should already have a functional one, copy this file to your fastboot folder on your computer
**NOTE - Again the above suggested downloads are for the EU/ UK variant- if you have another model / firmware please use that instead, if you did not obtain the boot.img from a firmware and patch it yourself, you will need to patch it again in magisk manager, to avoid a bootloop
2. Reboot your phone to fastboot and connect to your computer.
Command: adb reboot bootloader
3. Open a command prompt on your computer and navigate to your ADB/fastboot folder.
4. Type the following.
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched
Press enter.
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched
Press enter
fastboot reboot
Press enter
6. Your phone should now boot, open magisk and verify you're rooted.
Troubleshooting
If flashing succeeds but you don't have root and you've followed all the instructions, you may have some magisk modules still active, try performing the following.
1. Connect your phone to your computer.
2. Reboot the phone, then during the boot animation enter this command via ADB.
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
3. Allow to boot, modules will be removed and root should then be active.
Thanks @nycdiplomat for this tip.
If there is no magisk install / update buttons.
1. Make sure you have granted permission to magisk in settings / apps / magisk / permissions
2. Make sure that the update channel is on canary, then force close magisk and then re-open
3. If it still doesn't work then update magisk using canary
4. Last method to check would be to change to the beta channel in magisk settings, then install it.
Or change the update channel, install the version on offer, then change back to canary, install and you should be good to go.
Window's version
Windows 7 will not work with fastboot, please use Windows 10
USB
Use USB 2.0 not 3.0 or 3.1
ADB
These are the files i use for ADB (1st in the below list) tested these on fresh installs of windows on several windows machines, all win 10
Place them into the root of C so it reads C:\ADB much easier to navigate to that way.

Hi bro thank you so much for this. I don't understand what to do next now. My phone is already updated to 11 and I want to root it and install masigk etc how do I do that? Its already on version 11 I installed normal version 11 stock rom.
So I was on version 10 before and it was rooted and I had magisk I updated and lost root access and magisk. So now I'm on version 11. I have downloaded your patched boot image but what do I do next could you please hell me?

Ah so you're on 11 stock? Have you unlocked the bootloader?
I have a guide based on android 10 here for unlocking the bootloader, lot of similarities.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-rooting-t4151823
Please don't dive in without reading first.
If you've already unlocked the bootloader then you can simply use the magisk_patched img on step 1 of the Rooting section.
Please let me know before you start.
PS: thanks for not quoting the entire post
Bootloader is already unlocked.
Yes I'm on stock 11.
If you've already unlocked the bootloader then you can simply use the magisk_patched img on step 1 of the Rooting section. (Where is this section?)
I'm about to start the process now.

Yep that should be fine. I think you can also do this from magisk under direct install but I've not tried before and I think it's possible that this may require twrp. So yea go with the root guide.
Should be ok.
Could you give me the link to the Rooting section you have referred too so I know what to do please?
And magisk won't install for me won't let me. So I can't do that. I even tried installing twrp but it won't work.

No don't install twrp it doesn't work..
Rooting should be a case of installing the magisk_patched IMG to the active slot, you can do both..
The root process is at the bottom of the link i sent you mate.
This is the section on root.
You'll need the magisk_patched file from the OP
Rooting
1. On your computer
Get the magisk_patched file
2. Copy "magisk_patched.img" to C:\Android
3. Navigate to C:\Android
i) Hold shift and right click an empty space within the folder
ii) Click "Open Powershell Window here" or "Open a Command prompt Windows here"
iii) A black or blue window will appear with some text
4. Type the following into the window
adb reboot fastboot
press enter
On your phone
i) Your phone will reboot and show you a screen with 3 language choices, Choose "English" then "Advanced" and finally "Reboot to fastboot" and "Reboot to fastboot"
ii) You'll see a screen appear on your phone with some text, at the top you'll see the word "START" in green, you're now in Fastboot
On your computer
5. Type the following into the window
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
press enter
then
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
press enter
NOTE* THIS WILL FLASH THE PATCHED BOOT IMG TO BOTH SLOTS, THIS IS WHAT I DID, I HAVEN'T EXPLORED IF ONE SLOT IS ADEQUATE OR NOT, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ONLY FLASH THE BOOT.IMG TO ONE SLOT BUT AS I HAVEN'T I CAN'T ADVISE.
6.. Once complete, type in the following command
fastboot reboot
press enter, your device will reboot
7. On your phone open up "Magisk Manager" you should now have two green ticks signifying that you now have root access.
So long as you have magisk manager installed that's all you need to do besides that guide

so i installed twrp and then it jut crashed mode... please please help me?
So you needed the magisk_patched from the beginning of this thread (the OP)
Then boot to fastboot mode and flash to both slots using ADB / fastboot from Windows..
Then fastboot reboot.
That's literally it mate..that's all I did.
If you're in crashdump mode then i have no idea what you flashed or how you flashed it..shouldn't have done that.
You're on the EU/UK model right?
No reason why it wouldn't have worked.

Ok so do not install twrp it does not work on 11.
Calm down a moment you haven't broken anything so don't worry..
Tell me what screen you're on please. Also can you boot to fastboot mode? Or even bootloader?
Worse case scenario you will have EDL mode and the MSM tool which can get you back up and running..
Do not attempt to install twrp as it will not work and will cause more harm than good.
If you add steps besides what you're meant to do I can't help you pal.

I'm actually in bed at the moment pal.
Here's the MSM thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-tool-to-restore-device-t4084953/post82327013
I think it may have been trying to install twrp.
Before you go down the MSM route.
Try to power off the device without the cable connected..press and hold power and vol down..until the phone turns on.
Should go to bootloader.
If not try it the above with the cable connected to your phone and computer.
If you still can't get in then yes it's MSM time..
Personally have never used it but it's an active thread so always people in there and 10000% someone will have been in the same boat as you.
Not sure what happened with your situation tbh..I tested all the files again myself and they're all legit. I used them before I spoke with you and again just now.
Please though, try not to worry, you'd have to do something mental to break a OnePlus.
You'll be fine.
Let me know how your get on and I'll answer when I can..quite tired at moment.
yeah tried all of that still nothing. going to try the msm solution see what that does its downloading as we speak. but even before the twrp i done what u said and it was stuck on bootloader any idea why that would be ? i can understand it happened becuase i installed twrp and that casued the phone ot enter edl mode. but prior to it it was stuck on bootloader. following just the steps u had said ? once i have got he phone back up and running should i try your mehtod again and see what happens again ?
no problem really apprecite all the help you have given me thank so much.

Nah no worries man, just trying to work out what happened..
Once you're back up, maybe ask another thread just to confirm as I'm second guessing myself now..
Don't want you to end up like this again..
See what the chap says in the MSM thread too, his telegram username is in his profile.
To confirm you do have a UK phone right? IN2023 BA
Could have just been the flash didn't go through. You did do a flash and not boot right? To get out of that. Could have just flashed the stock boot.img and that would have saved you
Im trying to root my device by patching boot.img , but the issue is when i download 12.5.3.0 firmware its only 130mb zip file and it dosent contain boot.img, is there a place where i can download entire 12.5.3.0 rom so i can get boot.img ?
Also another question , im doing this because apparently ill still get OTA updates afterwards , is that true ?

Updates work different for every other phone but its possible
here is a guide: by topjohmwu of magisk
Patching Images
If your device has boot ramdisk, you need a copy of the boot.img
If your device does NOT have boot ramdisk, you need a copy of the recovery.img.
You should be able to extract the file you need from official firmware packages or your custom ROM zip (if using one). If you are still having trouble, go to XDA-Developers and look for resources, guides, discussions, or ask for help in your device’s forum.
Copy the boot/recovery image to your device
Press the Install button in the Magisk card
If you are patching a recovery image, make sure “Recovery Mode” is checked in options.
In most cases it should already be automatically checked.
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the stock boot/recovery image
The Magisk app will patch the image to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img.
Copy the patched image to your PC with ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
Flash the patched boot/recovery image to your device.
For most devices, reboot into fastboot mode and flash with command:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img or
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/magisk_patched.img if flashing a recovery image
Reboot and voila!

The "fastboot" version should work, there should be a boot.img inside.

I just completed all the steps , flashed patched boot img ,but there is no root , when i compare unpatched boot img and patched one they are exactly the same size to the bit, am i doing something wrong ?
i managed to root it !
Thank you everyone
In my opinion if you leave written how you did it might help others with the same problem.
I need a boot.img necessarily from 12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM GLOBAL.
Nowhere is this version of ROM in FastBoot format to download.
I need extract boot.img to magisk root.
I have an installed version of 12.5.6.0.
But I mistake I flash boot.img from version 12.5.3.0. , and now I have a broken system, it's not sound,wi-fi, etc.
Thanks very much
Hi. I used the boot.img from the 12.5.6 "Stable Beta" released a few weeks ago. I read somehere, here, that it is the same built as the one released over OTA a couple of days ago. And so far it's working fine. I have wifi and sound.
It is a recovery file, but you can unzip it and then use a payload dumper tool to extract the boot.img.
The recovery: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable beta/V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM/
And this tool on my Mac: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases/tag/1.0.0

If I may go off-topic for a question, recovery files are to be flashed in recovery? fastboot files in fastboot mode? hope you can help enlighten me.
I dont need recovery type rom , there is not after unzip the boot. img.
I need fastboot type rom, there is boot. img after unzip.
Thanks
I must flash boot.img over magisk, not twrp!
Please read my previous post again.
You can get a boot.img from the recovery file!

Thanks very much I'll try it.
So far I have tried to extract boot.img from China V12.5.6.0.RKHCNXM Fastboot TYPE, I flashed it via magisk and everything works fine.
If everything works OK, then it's fine
When the official 12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM is published, you can still patch and flash its boot.img again, in order to be sure you have the right one. I will do it.
Or just wait for the Android 12 update.

To complete this thread, here is how I extracted the boot.img from the recovery file:
- Download the recovery file from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable beta/V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM/
- Unzip it, you will find a payload.bin file inside.
- Download this command line tool for your platform, I used it on my Mac: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go/releases
- Unpack it and put the binary inside the folder of the unpacked recovery, next to the payload.bin file
- Run the command : ./payload-dumper-go payload.bin
- Let it do its thing and you will find a series of .img files, one will be boot.img

Hello everyone,
I wasn't able to find it here and I didn't want to wait I am sharing here the Patched boot.img for the last OOS13 update. (F.15)

Hi, I'm looking for the patched boot.img for IN2025_F15
Is there a thread how to extract and patch (complete) ? Thanks
@karib97 you can find a good guide here
[GUIDE]How to extract img(boot.img, etc...) from payload.bin using payload-dumper-go.
For 10R only: I have uploaded a few of the extracted boot.img, before extracting if you want you can look for the required boot.img here: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/kyn2p5mhde7nn/boot.img 1. Download and extract payload-dumper-go. 2...

First remember to download on your pc the update of your phone and the payload dumper. It seems difficult but it is not!
i am currently on OS 11.0.11.11.IN11.AA. Is it safe to update to this F.15 version as you described?

No, you have to update to OS 13 (without incremental) and root it. This is the latestest version for IN on OS 13 for incremental only.
