MAGISK ROOT



As with the release of much better reinforced security measures taken by Google
in regard to their internet integrity checking API the world-renowned new boss
in town Google's SafetyNet; Magisk Root has never been this handy. With the
methodological system-less rooting process the app provides its users,
concealing root status from the SafetyNet integrity check has been made quite
easy.

On top of the intricate security bypass feature, his tool also provides handy
features that include android root management, a powerful system-less interface
where when a user flashes a Magisk zip file in custom recoveries or have boot
images patched in Magisk manager, it also can be installed in the system-less
method.

This has actually become the official support method for installing Magisk root
on an Android device and the system-less method installs the tool into a boot
image's ramdisk CPIO which might require additional patching to device kernel.




The tool also offers access to a variety of Magisk Modules support for a large
diversity of android devices and this feature is renowned for providing a
service comparable to even the Xposed Framework. MagiskHide feature basically
conceals the rooted status of a rooted android device. Which is a convenient
feature for many users with android devices that are newly released and has
newer versions of android running in them.

SYSTEMLESS ROOT VS SYSTEM ROOT

SuperSu, which was the dominant force when it came to root management in android
root devices is now on a down-trodding path as the system-root method it uses to
root devices does not work properly anymore and causes some apps to be blocked
by the Google SAFETYNET integrity check. This is because SU roots the device by
altering system partition files by adding new files to it.

This method proved real success until Android Marshmallow and its heightened
security measures; changes to system partitions could be detected thus integrity
check procedure will block any ap registered with even a hint of android
rooting.

Magisk Root is the solution to this dilemma. What this tool does is, it makes
the changes to the boot image which conceals the fact that the device has been
rooted therefore, slips pass integrity check. The modifications Magisk Root does
is virtually overlayed on top of all the original files and not actually
touching the system partition files. What makes Magisk root even a better
user-friendly app is that it is open source software, where you can view the
tool source whereas SU is closed source.


MAGISK ROOT MODULES

Another great feature Magisk Root offers users is the Magisk Manager app allows
its users to control root settings which makes it a great root brokering app
catering to users needs as much as possible.

Magisk Manager is a repository for modules as well and they are installable mods
that can be downloaded anytime and used to tweak a lot of cool features in the
device. Some amazing mods include emoji replacements, RAM management and active
edge customizations and many more. The Magisk mod repository is considered to
provide an even better service than the powerful Xposed Framework.

DOWNLOAD, INSTALL AND HOW TO USE MAGISK ROOT



INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERIES

Download the Magisk installer zip and reboot to custom recovery.

Flash the zip and reboot then check whether Magisk Manager is installed. In the
case, if it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK.

PRIOR TO INSTALLING

Installing Magisk WILL trip KNOX and installing it for the first time Demands a
full data wipe and data backup before continuing.

Requires device bootloader to be unlocked prior to following the other
instructions and Magisk will be installed to the recovery partition of your
device.

After installing the tool, you can directly upgrade Magisk within Magisk Manager
without an issue. [*]Important: Flashing in custom recovery is not supported
currently for devices.

UNLOCKING DEVICE BOOTLOADER

As many changes have been made to Samsung devices and some other models,
important details of unlocking bootloader are given below and these are the
notes of topjohnwu himself.

 * Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
 * Power off the device. Press Bixby + Volume Down and plug in the device to the
   PC to boot into download mode.
 * Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe data and
   automatically reboot.
 * As Samsung introduced VaultKeeper to the systems, bootloader will reject any
   unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it. Therefore,
   follow the below instructions.
   * Go through the initial setup processes and complete it. Skip through all
     the steps since data will be wiped again later and connect the device to
     the internet.
   * Enable developer options, and confirm the OEM unlocking option. The
     VaultKeeper service will unleash the bootloader after it confirms that the
     user has the OEM unlocking option enabled. This step is to simply make sure
     the service gets the correct info, and also double-check that our device is
     in a correct state so that the bootloader accepts unofficial images when in
     download model.
