Magisk Manager - https://tiny.cc/latestmanager
Prep:
Install the Asus Unlocker on your phone and unlock it.
Install Magisk Manager on your phone but dont run it yet.
Enable USB Degugging on your phone.
Install ABD and Fastboot on your PC. It will be installed to c:/adb/
Download the update that matches your phone version to your pc. [Mine was version "WW-32.40.106.41"]
Open the update file on your pc with your favorite zip manager and extract the boot.img .
Put the boot.img onto your phones internal storage.
Follow this guide [Credits to Dhananjay @ thecustomandroid.com]
» Non-rooted devices
Magisk 14.0 introduces a new and neat method to install on non-rooted Android devices. This new process doesn’t require your device to be rooted, nor does it require a custom recovery like TWRP. But for this method to work, your device must have the stock boot.
But for this method to work, your device must have the stock boot.img dump placed in the internal storage.
Make sure that you enable USB debugging and setup ADB access first, you will need it later in the guide.
Download Magisk Manager 5.3.0: Link
When the APK has been downloaded, use a file manager to install it. Now run the app from the app drawer.
Go to the app settings and tap on “Patched Boot Output Format”. You can select “.img.tar” if you will be using ODIN to flash the file or else simply select “.img” for the rest of the devices.

}
Go back to the app main screen and tap on the “Install” button. Go to INSTALL > PATCH BOOT IMAGE FILE.
Navigate through the storage and select the stock boot.img file. As soon as you select the stock boot.img file, the app will download the installer to patch the image.
Once the process is complete, you can tap on the “CLOSE” button.
Your new and patched boot image now include root and support for modules. So the last step is to grab this boot file and flash it your device via fastboot or ODIN (Depending on the output format you chose in step #4).
Connect your device to the PC via USB cable and navigate to the Magisk Manager folder inside the storage. Your “patched_boot.img” file will be present right there. So copy it to your PC.
Move the “patched_boot.img” file to C:/adb folder. And type in the following command to boot your phone into bootloader/fastboot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Once your phone enters the bootloader/fastboot mode, enter the command to flash the file:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Finally, reboot your device:
fastboot reboot
That’s all, you have just installed one of the most trending mod out there and especially on your non-rooted device without any need of a custom recovery. Isn’t it great? Tinker around with the app and see what all things you could do.
I can confirm this is working! Thank you!

I know it's been some time since this was discussed, but I am trying to go through this process. Can you confirm that you unlocked the bootloader on 8.0 with the Asus tool? Or did you install magisk without unlocking the bootloader (if that's possible)?
thanks
I don't think the unlocker tool works anymore.

A few days ago I decided that I wanted to root my Xoom, so I went by a guide on how to do it. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798 )
I got into the bootloader, flashed on a new recovery, etc. Got the new kernal installed, so I reset my Xoom thinking I was done. Right now, it's stuck on the Motorola screen. Bring up the boot menu and try the recovery, it doesn't work. Tried the fastboot option, computer doesn't detect it. However, on the RSD mode, I did have some action with the computer. I'm not sure if it's a drivers issue, if the Xoom hates me... or what. :/
Anyone got any input on this?
I've done the following:
Used a different USB Cable
Used USBDeview to remove the drivers manually
Reset the Xoom using Vol up+Button on back
Ragequit, multiple times
Gone into Recovery, which led me to a Reading ODM Fuse: 1 screen where it stays
Tried the fastboot multiple times to no avail
Posted on xoomforums about this, no final answer.

Sounds like your relocked your bootloader, or you don't have a system image installed.
Start over from scratch - I used it to Root my Wifi Only Xoom and
my 4G LTE Xoom with no problems. Only took about 10mins - use this method:
Universal Xoom Root
Thats right, this method will work for any xoom on any update - Including future updates!!!
Note: Unlike the similar method floating around on here, this also gives you an unsecured boot image.
-- Please Note: this thread is still a work in process and has been sped up by the arrival of the 4g Xooms --
Current requirements: adb & fastboot have been setup and you have an external sdcard for your xoom.
1. Setting up adb & fastboot
Coming Soon! (If you want to write this section for me and pm me it, thats fine !)
2. Downloading the rooting-update zip file.
Download the zip file from here.
Now place this on your external sdcard. - Sorry this is a requirement at the moment, like I said this is a bit rushed.
3. Flashing recovery
1. Download this Recovery image. (put this image in the same folder that holds the adb.exe most likely tools or platform tools folder.)
2. If your device is locked, now is a good time to unlock it.
To UNLOCK -
Code:
adb reboot bootloaderfastboot oem unlockfastboot reboot
3. Flash recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloaderfastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
4. Flashing the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file.
If you're in clockwork mod recovery you can continue (This recovery image will say it is clockwork mod) . If you're not looking at clockwork mod, then you need to repeat step 3 again.
In cwm, go into "install zip from sdcard" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", then select the Xoom-Universal-Root.zip file you downloaded.
Note: use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select
Reboot your device and then welcome to your rooted device!
Now reboot into recover and flash a new ROM of your choice - I like this one:
[ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0
Flash ROM then, do not reboot yet. Flash GApps right after ROM Flash then reboot!
Welcome to your rooted device!
Downloads
Universal Xoom root - version 1.0
So I'm trying to flash a ROM that will grant me root access and the person who made the ROM doesn't explain how to flash it.
I've heard of ADB and Fastboot before but I have no idea where to even start. This is the contents of the .zip:

I tried searching for a guide on how to flash a ROM with adb/fastboot but I'm not even sure if im searching for the right things
Anyone?
Before you flash a custom ROM, make sure you have a custom recovery installed. This is the part where ASB/FastBoot comes in.
The custom recovery may be CWM or TWRP, or anything at all which supports your device, look on the website of the recovery you want to use if they support your device or seach the XDA forums for one.
After downloading the recovery image, you can optionally rename it to recovery.img.
You can use the zip file you curently have, but I'll advice to use the adb installer which I've included as attachment.
Once you have ADB installed with the installer you can omen op a command promt (cmd.exe).
Make sure your device is turned on and USB debugging is enabled!
After ADB sees your device (with the command: adb devices), boot into fastboot using adb reboot bootloader.
After your phone has rebooted into the bootloader(fastboot), use the command: fastboot flash recovery (path/filename to recovery).img
Following these steps should allow you to install a custom ROM through the recovery you justs installed. if you also want to include superSU(if it's not included into the ROM you're using), flash the SuperSU2.02 falshable zip from chainfire.
But before you do anything of this, make sure you've got a compatible recovery and ROM!

SOME INFO:
MT6737/M (they seem to be the same thing)
Antutu Score: 30052 [source]
As of Jan 6 2018, latest official firmware is v13 06292017.
A. Root
Disclaimer: YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will not assume any responsibility for your own actions on your phone. Follow the instructions carefully, and ask questions if you're unsure.
Tested way: Magisk Manager patched boot method
Other option: SRS Root reports to root the v12 firmware, though I didn't use this method so I don't know if it works.
Magisk Manager Patched Boot Method
1. Unlock your bootloader (Note: this will factory reset your phone and you will lose all your personal data) To do this:
Enable bootloader unlock inside developer options, accessed by pressing build number 7 times in settings. Thanks @Nao Tomori !
Install adb and fastboot on a computer (Search it, it's available)
Reboot to fastboot mode (Switch off phone, press power and volume up simultaneously. Choose fastboot mode from the menu that appears)
Connect to computer by USB Cable provided
Open a command prompt or terminal and check if fastboot detects your device by typing
Code:
fastboot devices
A device number should appear. If nothing appears, it's a most likely driver problem. Click this button to know more.
Linux doesn't need drivers so try using fastboot in linux. If you really want to do it in windows, try PDANET drivers while connected in fastboot mode. No guarantees. I'm using a linux machine to specifically avoid this hassle
We're now gonna unlock your bootloader. Type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and confirm unlock by clicking volume up on your phone.
Reboot and go through all the necessary set-up.2. Download Magisk Manager from here and install the APK.
Make sure you download the latest apk version provided.
Note it says that Magisk itself is not yet installed.
We've only installed the helper app.
3. Flash Patched Boot Image
At this point you have two options: extract and patch your own boot image, or just use my patched boot image. I will assume you pick the second but this REQUIRES that you are on the same v13 06292017 official firmware. PM me if you want to do the first one. Download my patched boot image.
Download
Move the file to a known location that's easy to type (home directory or C Drive)
Reboot to fastboot mode, same as before
Flash with fastboot then reboot
Code:
fastboot flash boot /path/to/patched_boot.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
CONGRATS! Magisk should now be installed and along with it, Magisk's Superuser
Press thanks if it helped you! And/or leave feedback if it worked for you, and if your setup differed from mine. Thanks
MODS
B. Mods
1. Xposed Framework (systemless)
Install Xposed framework from within Magisk. Install API24.
Then reboot. This first boot takes really long. I pulled out my battery once, then the next time it successfully booted after a while.
Install topjohnwu's Xposed apk from his systemless Xposed thread.
It will tell you that Xposed is installed but not active yet.
Reboot one last time
2. Dolby Atmos (systemless)
Install from within Magisk. Confirmed working!
RECOVERY
Reserved
If you get fail operation
If you get
Code:
FAILED (remote:
Unlock operation is not allowed
)
Just go to Developer Settings > OEM Unlocking and enable it.
I used PDAnet for Windows and it worked

Oh yes, I forgot about that! Thanks. Will add and credit you
hi there bro. i just want to know, is there a custom rom that we can use for this phone? i have the same exact phone but i cannot find any articles about any other custom roms that has been used on this phone. hoping to hear from you. thanks.
And another thing, can we use TWRP for this phone?
Hello. Is there anyone here who has a clean stock rom for Starmobile UP Prime? The phone keeps popping up ads and redirecting to chrome/google play. Contact names sometimes disappear too. I ran the malwarebytes app and it said that "Settings" app is the malware. I downloaded and flashed another rom before (I forgot from what website), but same experience. Hoping for helpful response.
