Just sharing what I've learned. Have to patch boot.img and vendor boot.img and flash out of folder in sdk on desktop.Then use vb_meta.img to disable verity flash. Guide above has to be followed to a T. Even though it's for the Chinese version Color os works fine on Oos... Patch boot.img /vendor_boot with magisk 23.0. This way magisk hide and modules work. If you patch with canary version of magisk you loose both. I'm attaching stock boot, vb_meta vendor_boot.img files for the Global unlocked op9. Files are from new A12 os. Btw 23.0 works perfectly on A12. If this helps hit the like button; it's free.

This method is overkill for rooting both versions of A12 that were released ,
The best method for a12 with unlocked bootloader is this:
Patch boot.img & copy to adb folder on pc
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot *nameofpatchedbootimagehere.img*
IF YOUR DOING A CLEAN FLASH OF A12 BEFORE SETUP = fastboot-w
fastboot reboot
Worst case scenario you will have to wipe all data for it to register correctly and boot fully.
The vendor_boot does not need to be patched with the A12 update, you have to disable verity and verification instead of just verification for any device running A12.

I do know that just patching boot.img and flashing it breaks boot and build. Found that out the hard way. Could only reach fastboot no stock recovery . And couldn't fastboot --set-active=other. Wipe data and boot into old oos on opposite slot. I've had msm tool on my desktop and have heard horror stories of people using and it throwing errors and failing. Plugged mine right in booted edl from adb and 512 sec later had a booting device in oxygen oos

I can verify that my method works 100% on build C.36 of A12, because i am currently running it and have redone the steps multiple times to make sure nothing happens that could be bad ,the steps i have listed above in the previous post work perfectly and still let me have root currently, and i have only patched the stock boot.img.

If your wondering how i have come to this doing it the way i did it.
I downloaded and copied the update to desktop and extracted the stock boot and patched it in magisk from the device.
I then i extracted the stock vbmeta image and after flashing the full update via local install from system settings i booted to bootloader and disabled verity and verification and then flash the patched boot image.
I then rebooted into full stock C.36 with root.
I can tell you i did this 5 times before i made the reply to you earlier and verified that it booted every time no issue without patching vendor_boot.

How does one undo the disable verity with stock vb_meta after flashing back stock boot.img and vendor boot.img ,I still couldn't take internal Google ota today. Failed after I tried restoring both of those.

Oh maan, that was my last night. Lost weeks worth of data with no back up
And I've bricked and recovered before but the way this one acted was scary as hell. A few times it said "die" at the crashdump.

Hello, please can you give me more details about what causes you the loss, how you did it because I'm about to do the same process and I'm afraid to get my onePlus 9 bricked

Well first of all, at the time my version of magisk did not support android 12 for patching boot.img
But that has been long fixed, just get the latest magisk version.
And for the next part, if you are trying to root first time, do NOT use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" instead use "fastboot boot boot.img" to temporarily boot the patched version of boot image. That will temporarily give you root access on next power on until you restart. And while you have that temporary root, you can use magisk app to direct install that patched boot image and gain permanent root access.
Also from there after every OTA update BEFORE RESTARTING THE PHONE you can use magisk and "install to inactive slot" to retain your root with the update.
Hope that helped.

Lol patching the boot image then flashing it with simple "fastboot flash boot patchedboot.img" works for me. It does not require any other images or patches.

Yep, stock boot images can be extracted from full zips with tools (payload extractor).
Also, i have a collection, check it out.

So you think the same way the 9 Pro does it would work? The guide there says to grab the stock image, install Magisk app on the phone, patch the image with the app, boot (not flash) the image, then have Magisk direct install. I came here and saw all of this other stuff and was like... nahhh...

If you don't jump magisk across from A11 you have to disable verity with vb_meta partition as well to gain permanent root on A12. This I know it's my post.

I have OnePlus 7 Pro GM1917 12G ram/256G storage, wiped device and update to OxygenOS android 10.
I have magisk manager APK installed, saying magisk is not installed.
Then I downloaded magisk version 21 .zip from the app, it's placed under "downloads."
I boot into TWRP recovery, then select the magisk.zip to be installed. However this results in the phone only being able to boot into fastboot and not the actual OS.
I have also tried to install magisk using adb sideload and it faces the same issue.
The softbrick can be resolved by flashing TWRP (.zip) again.
Flashing magisk.zip and twrp.zip result in successful boot into OS but magisk is still shown as not installed.
Any ideas on what might be happening here?
Thanks in advance.

That's what I did exactly, before I had this problem.
If I reboot to recovery, I am greeted with teamwin logo instead of the normal recovery mode.
I installed TWRP by using "twrp-3.3.1-70-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip" for OnePlus 7 Pro on Android 10. Then reboot, load recovery, then proceed to try install "Magisk-v20.1.zip" I am hit with the problems stated above.

Installing "Magisk-v20.1.zip" will result in the softbrick stated above.
I am not able to proceed beyond this step.
Also, I do not have a custom kernel yet, running stock after official update to Android 10.
I took a picture of the twrp system log after installing Magisk-v20.1.zip
The commands selected are zip verificaton and inject TWRP after install

You need a custom kernel to boot up. BLU SPARK or Elemental or smurf. Or flash a patched (rooted) boot image in fastboot.

Does it not work with the original kernel?
I was using it with the prior update before Android 10, without custom kernel or rom.

No it does not. You need a Patched boot image or a custom kernel which contains a patched and rooted boot image.

All you need to do is get ahold of the OTA update for that version. You can find your version in "about phone" and you can find the files on Google. Then you can use a tool called "payload dumper" to extract the boot.img from the payload.bin inside. (just run it until it says "boot", then wait for some other text to appear and close the window. "boot.img" will be in the output folder) Transfer the boot.img to the phone, use Magisk Manager to patch it, transfer the `magisk_patched.img` back to your computer, boot into fastboot and then `fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img`.
TWRP will probably be gone. Download the TWRP installer zip from the TWRP website, and use Magisk Manager to flash it. You will have TWRP. Then you must use Magisk to reinstall itself while you still have root access, otherwise Magisk will be gone on reboot and you will need to go through the whole process of flashing the patched boot.img again.
After OTAs, before rebooting, first flash a Magisk module called "TWRP A/B retention module", and then install Magisk to the inactive slot. Then reboot as normal. Your root and TWRP should then stay self-hosting. Magisk should prevent the OS from suppressing TWRP, but this only works if you did not forget to reinstall Magisk. Otherwise you have to start over from square one. I had to do that once.
Soon I'll write a guide post on my experience. It was a very intense 7 hours, but I learned so much in that time...

That may have just patched the boot image from TWRP. My phone wouldn't let me flash TWRP with fastboot, so I had to install Magisk first. YMMV, especially since my device is the crippled T-Mobile variant

Mine is too. Lol. Only issues I had with this device was sim unlock. If one follows the method of installing the developer preview they can enable oem unlock then manually update to a stable international version they have full fastboot access. I've been through it all in the last week or so

For me it was 7 hours from first receiving the phone to having it totally pwned with TWRP and Magisk, and that was about 8 hours ago
I have tried for a few days to install a custom recovery but no luck. Perhaps someone can give me some advice?
I have tried Mediatek (MTK) Auto TWRP recovery porter, version 1.5 but it didn´t work.
This aswell twrp-recovery-cubot-j5-root from getdroidtips but nope...
Chip on phone Mtk6580 and android 9.
Updated to the latest firmware release via spflashtool from cubot own site.
I guess that im to much of a newbie to get this done...
But atleast its updated, my main goal is to root the phone so thats why i need a custom recovery.
Thx in advance, and sorry for my english grammar, not my main language. :laugh:

My dear friend did you try:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/how-to-root-cubot-j5-and-install-twrp-recovery/
btw why didn't Mediatek Auto TWRP recovery porter work? what was the issue?
I have the same problem the thread starter indicates in the title: I can install the TWRP recovery image that gopikrishnanrmg linked, but the installation of Magisk doesn't work. It says it installs successfully, but I can't get root rights and if I install the Magisk app, it says that Magisk is not installed. Magisk canary doesn't work either. Does someone have an idea what I might have done wrong? Or does that mean that the device is not supported by Magisk?

Sorry for the late answer, life happens
I get it installed with that guide after unlocking flash state, but when it reboots it give me a message "orange state" and the phone resets.
and the recovery porter did not work for me, maybe i´m to old for this hehe was a while since i rooted a device, and i´m defenitly no hacker
btw if you need to look on the firmware cubot(dot)net has a downloadable link for the j5.
I have the same problem and I can't do anything about it, maybe some specific source or a hint in the form of YT
Has anyone figured out how to upload Twrp recovery to Cubot J5 ????
I was able to root Cubot J5.

Cause of bootloop.
1. vbmeta.img is not flushed.
2. The firmware version is different.
The version of this file is "CUBOT_J5_9061C_V14_20200506".

Cause of bootloop.
1. vbmeta.img is not flushed.
2. The firmware version is different.
The version of this file is "CUBOT_J5_9061C_V14_20200506".

Thanks for your reply! When i woke up today i thought i can just as well restore the stock rom but found the phone booting.
The boot was just taking way longer because of the factory reset (through oem unlock).
I just installed the root checker and it is working fine!
After years of having this phone and trying to root it you just saved it. Thank you!
Do you have plans to install GSI images on it as well?
*update* i'm able to boot a lineageos 18.1 GSI with your images. I flashed the system and afterwards your boot, recovery and vbmeta and it worked.
*update2* I wanted gApps so i tried the lineageos 19.1 image which was too big. After that i tried an AOSP one with lite gApps.
I think i messed up badly. I can't get back into fastboot and not even the spflash tool is able to flash something. When pressing Volume down+power it briefly detects it but won't write the firmware. I'll try different versions later and report back but for now it's dead
*uodate3* It's back again. I had to re-install the mediatek drivers for the tool to work. After a stock boot i was able to unlock the bootloader and install LOS again. I will go for an image with gapps next.
Thank you again for providing your images and support!

You really helped a lot. I'm always glad to tinker with spare phones.
For anyone else stumbling upon this thread trying to install a GSI image: Here is how i succeeded.
1. Enable unlocking in your developer settings
2. Use "fastboot flashing unlock" to enable flashing (this performs a factory reset)
3. wipe your system partition with "fastboot erase system"
4. Flash your GSI image wizh "fastboot flash system 'path-to-your-GSI' "
5. flash the provided vbmeta with "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta 'path-to-vbmeta.img' "
I had success with lineageos 18 A/B with gapps. Make sure that it's not too big in size or else you will get an error message stating it is too big.
If you have troubles getting into recovery/fastboot, use the SPflashtool to revover your stock firmware (be sure to NOT format all because you will lose your IMEI information in that process!) and try again
Hi,
i tried to root my Cubot J5 by doing the following:
flash system system.img (from CUBOT_J5_9061C_V14_20200506 .zip)
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_boot.img
fastboot flash recovery magisk_patched-23000_recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
reboot in recovery mode
When check for root with root checker basic, systems says, that magisk is crashed several times. And after this root checker states that no root is granted.
Any idea?

Is the Magisk version 23?
I have not confirmed the latest version(24~)
Trying to root the Pixel 5 running Android 12 by flashing a magisk-patched boot image results in the phone only booting to fastboot mode ("failed to load/verify boot images")
Some users have reported that booting (instead of flashing) the patched boot image works and makes root temporarily available but i didn't have any success with that.
The phone booted up but root didn't work.
I won't explain how to unlock the bootloader or set up adb here.
!Warning! This will wipe your phone so take a backup!
Also i do not take any responsibility if you break your device.
And if anything goes wrong just factory reset your device using the Android Flash Tool or by following this tutorial.
Here's what i did to get Magisk v22.0 working on the first developer preview of Android 12:
Install A12 with disabled AVB & dm-verity:
Make sure USB-Debugging is enabled in developer-options and you have authorized the pc you're using on your phone.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode.
You can do this by turning it off and then starting it by holding Power + Volume Down
until fastboot mode appears or just adb reboot bootloader
Go here and click on the link for the Android Flash Tool.
(I didn't copy the link directly so i don't have to update it everytime google releases a new update)
It should ask you to allow the website to access ADB Keys. Click Ok.
If the website somehow doesn't work, try using Google Chrome.
Select your Pixel 5. If it's not showing up click add device.
Click on the edit symbol (pen) in the box where the selected build is shown.
Make sure Wipe Device, Disable Verity and Disable Verification are checked.
Install and boot the phone when it's finished.
Patch & flash boot.img
Download and install the Magisk Canary App from GitHub.
Download the factory image from here and extract boot.img from it.
(Inside the downloaded zip-file is another zip file containing the boot image)
Copy the extracted boot.img to your phone and open the magisk app.
Click on Install -> Select and Patch a File and let it do its magic.
Copy the magisk-patched boot image that should be found in your phones download folder back to your PC.
Reboot into fastboot mode as i explained earlier and flash the patched boot image.
(fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img)
Then reboot the device.
Now root should be working. If it bootloops and says your phone has to be factory reset, do it.
If for some reason you still get an AVB-Error and end up stuck in fastboot mode just flash the stock image and try to patch it again.
This is my first post on here and i didn't have much time but i'm glad if it helped at least one person.
Thanks for create this post.Works perfect,

Unfortunately no, universal safetynet fix 2.0.0 by kdrag0n makes basicIntegrity pass but since the update to dp3 CTS still fails.
Dirty flashing newer factory images will restore the verity and verification state, so when you patch the kernel with magisk it will fail to boot again.
Installing a verity and verification disabled image without wiping from the web based flasher will also corrupt your data and not let the phone boot, forcing you to wipe.
Wonder what the flags are for flashing factory images with verity and verification state off and giving the ability to continue on without wiping and being able to boot the magisk patched kernel again.
fastboot update --disable-verity --disable-verification image-redfin-spp3210325.010.zip maybe?
Or prepatch the boot.img before flashing it with fastboot, and then flashing it back before rebooting from after flashing the factory image as an update?

I just installed the newest Public Beta via OTA. Can I root? I was rooted on 11 before and just enrolled in the beta program and installed it via OTA. Without factory reset or reflash. Now I tried patching boot.img via Magisk Manager, but it wont boot. I mean it boots, but wont unlock phone to homescreen. I'm locked out of my phone. Reverted back to stock PB1 boot image. Any ideas without factory reset?

I just tried it using the canary build and it won't boot either. It gets stuck at the Bootloader screen and shows "Failed to load/verify boot images". Maybe we need to wait for an update to for Magisk?

I have a OnePlus 7 Pro on Android 11, OOS 11.0.0.2. The bootloader is unlocked. The devices runs absolutely fine unrooted. I have been wanting to root for quite some time. I patched the boot.img file of the ROM using latest Magisk Canary (app-debug.apk) from the GitHub repository. When I flash the .img through ADB, it is flashed successfully.
But when I reboot the phone, the phone is stuck on OnePlus' 'Two circling dots animation' (bootloop) and never starts. These are the commands that I enter one-by-one in CMD prompt on my laptop:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot "D:\Downloads\boot_patched.img"
fastboot reboot

So, to get out of this issue, I flash the stock boot image using similar commands. Then the phone boots successfully, but, of course, it is unrooted.
I even tried these commands, still no luck.

fastboot flash boot_b "D:\Downloads\boot_patched.img"

I had an issue before, with the Canary APK. Try installing the v23 app and repatch your boot IMG with it. Worth a shot.
I tried, again, with v23. Same bootloop occuring.
Do you perhaps have the magisk app installed, I know of modules causing these sort of bootloop issues.

This OnePlus 8T thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...in-eu-us-kb2000-kb2001-kb2003-kb2005.4178675/ says to boot, not flash, the patched boot image. In other words, use fastboot boot "D:\Downloads\boot_patched.img" and then do a direct install in Magisk.
That's the process I used and it worked perfectly.
Note: my phone is an 8T.

Thanks, I will try this method and report back.
Btw, after you booted using this method, for how much time did the boot animation showed up (the two circling white dots around bigger red dot)?
Edit: I tried this method. No luck. The boot animation goes on 5-10 minutes, at which point I reboot into bootloader and flash the stock boot image.
Anyway, I ended up downgrading to OxygenOS 10.3.8.
Starting to give up as well... Never had any issues before (on Android 10) to flash root on O7Pro, but ever since Android 11, I keep having "boot loop" issues. Aka, the boot logo keeps loading and never boots into the OS. Only works again if I re-patch the original boot.img file.
This is starting to get.. VERY, VERY annoying. Why isn't there any proper method of getting this to work?
Not sure which boot.img you using.
But I face similar problem a week ago, and i fix that by using another .img then all fine.
I download from:
[RECOVERY] [12] [OFFICIAL] TeamWin Recovery Project

I am too afraid to upgrade to OOS 11, only to find out root doesn't work for me. The restore function of this unofficial TWRP version is buggy so can't really depend on it to restore OOS 10.3.8. So, I have decided to stay on the latter until Team Recovery releases a proper update for Android 11.

Hi,
with the latest Magisk update I noticed the missing Magisk Hide and SafetyNet fix. So I decided to go back to Magisk 23. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I don't know what happened but now my phone is no longer rooted. So I tried some usual methods to re-root the device but nothing to do, still no root
I have used boot.img patching way with Magisk but when I send ADB command "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img", it seems to work fine but after reboot there is no root
So I tried the other method by booting the device with patched boot.img using ADB ("fastboot boot magisk_patched.img") then I open Magisk Manager but in the installation section there is no "direct install" option as it should be.
I also tried flashing Magisk.zip via TWRP as I did long ago and TWRP seems to do the job well but after rebooting again no root...
Any suggestions?
even though you don't have root, i suggest flashing the stock boot.img and then rebooting to be really sure that root has been removed. and then flash the magisk patched boot.img.
are you using the latest adb and fastboot? you can get the latest from here. https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
fyi, i just updated to magisk 24.1 and enabled zygisk. i'm using @kdrag0n's universal safetynet fix. google pay works. i don't have any other apps that i need to hide magisk from.

i'm running 11.0.5.1.GM21AA. i was already rooted with magisk v23, so i updated the magisk app to 24.1, and did a direct install to update root to 24.1.
but for any os upgrades, i download the firmware zip from my phone to my pc before installing. i extract the boot.img from the zip with payload dumper, patch it with magisk, and then flash it via fastboot. this way i know for sure that i'm using the correct boot.img. if you need the firmware zip to extract the boot.img from, you can use the oxygen updater app to download it.

Yes, I used the stock boot.img that I extracted from the 11.0.5.1 file that was downloaded as the normal OTA update from OnePlus. I patched that boot image with Magisk v24.1 that was already installed on my OP7P.
Then, I flashed that Magisk patched boot.img using fastboot onto both A and B slots (I switched slots by booting into TWRP 3.6, since I didn't see a way to switch slots with the now-loaded OnePlus Recovery Mode).
When I rebooted through the patched image, the phone came up (which is good!), but Magisk says that I don't have root (which is bad!). I haven't figured out how to fix that.
Could you PM me your patched boot.img? I could try flashing that to see if my OP7P acts any differently.
Thanks!
OK, I'm 100% positive that Magisk v24.1 patched my OP7P OOS 11.0.5.1 boot.img properly.
I extracted the 11.0.5.1 boot.img file from the OTA image that was in my .Ota folder from my phone. I extracted boot.img from the payload.bin file using two different methods of payload-dumper. Both boot.img files had the same SHA-512 checksums, so they were identical.
I also downloaded a copy of the Magisk v24.1 patched boot.img from the intenet and compared it to my Magisk v24.1 patched boot.img file. Again, the SHA-512 checksums matched for the two patched files, so I am sure that I have a properly patched boot.img file.
Note that my OP7P has loaded the full OOS 11.0.5.1 Stock image, so I currently have the OOS Recovery Mode and I do not have TWRP Recovery Mode.
Maybe I am doing something else wrong during my installation that is keeping me from getting root?
Here is the process I followed with my patched boot.img file:
I boot into Fastboot Mode
In Fastboot Mode, I go into TWRP Recovery Mode by typing: fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamole.img
After rebooting into TWRP Recovery, I installed the 11.0.5.1 OTA by doing an Install > Browse to the .Ota folder for the OTA .Zip file.
After the OOS 11.5.0.1 OTA installed, I rebooted back to Fastboot Mode (before booting normally) by selecting: Reboot > Slot A > Home > Reboot > Bootloader
Once I am back into Fastboot Mode, I type: fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_boot.img
In Fastboot Mode, I type: fastboot reboot
After I have rebooted back to normal mode, Magisk v24.1 is already installed and I don't do any updates to that. When opening Magisk, my screen flashes a couple of times before giving me a Toast pop-up that Magisk was denied Super User access. When I look at the Magisk App screen, it says that the App is installed, but that Magisk is not installed.
Are there any steps that I am missing?
Well, I finally got OOS 11.0.5.1 rooted with Magisk v24.1.
I ended up wiping my data and installing a fresh install of OOS 11.0.5.1 (Not sure if this is necessary, but I skrood up along the way and had to wipe as a result).
The one thing that was different this time around was that I disabled encryption/lock before flashing the Magisk-v24.1 patched boot image. I suspect that was what helped me make it to the finish line this time.
Good luck out there!
¿GJ?
i'm glad to hear that you got it figured out. sorry for not responding sooner with a patched boot image.
i don't use twrp, so my method of upgrading and patching is different than yours.
my only guess as to why you were having trouble before is maybe you were flashing the magisk patched boot image to the wrong slot. if you run into a similar problem in the future, you can try flashing the magisk patched boot image to both slots. but it's a moot point now. enjoy your finally rooted phone!

Hey, @altwu - I used TWRP to switch between slots when flashing the Magisk patched boot images. I had patched both slots (as best as I could tell)
If you don't use TWRP, how did you switch between slots prior to flashing the patched boot images?

you can use fastboot to switch slots.
fastboot --set-active=a or b
i don't know if it's necessary, but i reboot the bootloader with "fastboot reboot bootloader" after switching slots.
i've never tried this, but you can also specify what slot when running fastboot flash, like "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img --slot a".
check out "fastboot help" to see the different options.
i haven't had to play around with slots though. when an update is available, i'll download the zip to a computer and then go through the normal update process via the os. after the update is done, the phone reboots and the correct active slot is set.
Thanks for the feedback, @altwu.
I am having issues getting my SMS notification sound working on my fresh(er) 11.0.5.1 installation. I haven't seen anybody respond back yet, and I am beginning to suspect it's just a problem on my OP7P. If I don't see anybody responding back by tomorrow, I'll assume it's "just me".
I am thinking about doing a total wipe again to see if it will clear up the issue I am seeing. I will end up trying your installation route this time to see if it helps at all.
