Root (almost) every device with Magisk + Fastboot

ROOT (ALMOST) EVERY DEVICE WITH MAGISK + FASTBOOT
As an Android user, I understand how frustrating it will be when you desperately look for an exact rooting tutorial for your device but end up finding nothing, all one-click root tools do not work, or no custom recovery made for yours.
So, this tutorial shows you how to root a wide range of Android devices (not all, because there will be exceptions, I guess) with Magisk. First, we should take a look at the pros and cons, so that you can generally acknowledge this method.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROS
- No custom recovery (TWRP, ClockworkMod,etc.) needed
- Easy to find prerequisites
- Successful root attempt CONFIRMED on my 10 devices (including popular devices, rare devices, and devices with OS based on Android)
- Support recent Android versions, including Android 10 (tested on Google Pixel XL).
CONS
- Phone brick might occur
- You might not find your device's firmware in .zip format, which will stop you from using this method.
- Not being able to unlock the bootloader (only on some device) will stop you from using this method, too.
That's about the pros and cons. I hope you guys all understand these points before going to read my tutorial and start your attempt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS & STEPS
I. REQUIREMENTS
- Your device's Android version is 5.0 or up. If it's below 5.0, then you can root your device easily with any one-click tool.
- A computer & USB cable.
On your phone
- Download & install Magisk
- Download the exact firmware version (in .zip format) of your device and only extract the boot.img to any directory.
On your computer
- Download & install Fastboot, extract the folder to "Downloads" directory
- Download & install Android USB driver for Windows
(I am not sure if XDA allows inserting links in threads or not, so please search for these prerequisites on the internet, it is easy)
II. STEPS
1. Unlocking your phone's bootloader
- Open Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number about 7 times till you see a notification "You are now a developer"
- Now in the About phone tab, you can see the "Developer option". Tap on it and make sure:
+ the OEM unlocking is turned ON
+ The USB Debugging is turned On
- Plug your phone on your computer (with Fastboot & driver fully installed). Allow the USB Debugging notification on your phone
- Open Command Prompt on your computer. Enter commands below steps by steps:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
(press Enter after each line to proceed)
- Your phone will reset to the bootloader menu after these commands. Next, enter this:
fastboot oem unlock
- A message asking you to make sure you want to unlock the bootloader. Use the volume and power button to choose "Yes". Your phone will reset data and reboot right after.
*Note: This method works on many Android devices, but doesn't on many devices. You might have to google a method for your own phone
2. Patching the boot.img file
After you extracted the boot.img from your device, use the Magisk app installed on your device to patch it up.
- Click the "Install" button on the first line
- Click "Select and Patch a file"
- Choose the boot.img file extracted. The patching progress will start right after.
- You will receive a file named "magisk_patched.img" after finished.
3. Flashing the "magisk_patched.img"
- Copy the "magisk_patched.img" into the Fastboot folder
- Reboot your phone to Bootloader mode by powering off and then hold Power + Volume down button simultaneously
- Open Command Prompt again, and type:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
- The flashing progress will begin. Wait until it finishes, and type the last command:
fastboot reboot
- Your phone will restart once again, and of course, with root access gained
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNROOT DEVICE
- If you want to unroot your device, you just have to flash the original boot.img file, with the same steps with flashing the magisk_patched.img!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

or Download the full setup Android Studio from its official source https://developer.android.com/studio/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpdiIlpfh5QIVks13Ch2bUw8REAAYASAAEgJW9PD_BwE
Note: please dont forget do a complete backup of your data before start!
2. In your Lenovo Vibe B, enter Settings and Enable Developer Options:
Settings -> About Phone -> Tap on the Build Number around 7-8 Times until you see a message "Developer option enabled"
Now, you need to enable the OEM Unlock. Go to Settings -> Developer Option and Enable OEM Unlock. Just as simple as you hear!
3. Go to the folder you uncompressed the Adb tools.
Open a command tool right there (CMD or powershell). After that, turn off your phone.
Now press and hold power and volume up button keys at the same time and you'll see three options: Fastboot mode, Normal mode and Recovery mode.
Confirm Fastboot mode pressing Volume up until you point/reach to the fastboot option and confirm pressing volume down to enter, wait for the fastboot message in your phone. Now, connect your phone to the pc using an good usb cable.
4. Type in the cmd screen
Code:
fastboot devices
command and check if the phone is being recognized. This command list the connected devices.
If your phone serial number shows up everything is fine, but if the phone serial number doesn't appear, you must reinstall mtk drivers or choose another usb cable.
5. Check the unlock oem
typing the command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and press enter.
Alert: This procedure will erase your data and reset to the default configuration. Be careful! Check unlocked oem confirmation message on your phone screen.
6. Now is the moment of install the TWRP recovery.
To flash, type the following command in the cmd window:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Press enter and wait for a confirmation message.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Press enter and wait for a confirmation message.
7. Turn off the phone. Press and hold power and volume up button keys at the same time and you'll see three options.
With the volume up key, point to the Recovery mode option and confirm with the Volume down key. Wait a little and now you are into twrp 3.1.1.0 recovery. In the finishing touches, configure the twrp recovery and choose power off option.
Second part: install LineageOS 14.1, Gapps and SuperSu to the Lenovo Vibe B
8. Uncompress the LineageOs folder and copy to an external SD the Lineage Os, Gapps and SuperSU zip files.
9.Turn off your phone, pull out the battery, insert your microSD to the phone. Turn on your phone and start it in recovery mode just as stated before in step 7. Now, you are into TWRP
10. Do a wipe in order to delete the Stock rom. Tap Wipe option, then choose advanced wipe and pick the following ones:
Code:
Dalvik /ART Cache
System
Cache
Data
Confirm the wipe option swiping to the right and wait the confirmation message. Press back option and return to the main twrp window
11. In the main twrp window, tap the Install option, locate your microSD as externalSD tapping in the select storage to activate the external SD. Now search the files into the SD, pressing in the "up a level" zone and after you reach it, install the following things in the exact order:
Choose the Lineage OS 14.1 Rom zip file (swipe to confirm) and wait. Dont restart the phone.
After that, choose the Gapps zip file, swipe again to confirm and wait.
Finally, choose the SuperSu zip file included in the folder, do a swipe, wait.
If you want, its possible install all the zip files as a bunch using the "add more zip option" that twrp offers to you, but I prefer do it each one by one.
12. Do a final wipe choosing "wipe Dalvik and Cache".
13. Now choose the restart/reboot option. Wait for the phone initial setup (around a couple of minutes)
14. Configure the phone with your android account preferences. install your favorite apps, sync your info, etc.
15. Configure the SuperSU, install it, and verify the root with the Root checker app (you can found it in the Play store) and you are done!! Enjoy!!
