Wrote several posts ago in this thread:
In order to root /e/, I did this :
Assuming that :
- you have downloaded Magisk-v20.4.zip to your pc
- you flashed /e/ partitions (following those instructions )
- you left the bootloader unlocked
- your phone is still connected to the pc via usb
- Boot into recovery (the /e/ recovery)
- Tap on “update” button
- Then tap on “adb sideload”
- On your pc run
adb sideload Magisk-v20.4.zip - On the phone you’ll have to confirm flashing an untrusted update
- At the end of the process, go back to the system and wipe the data (not the system)
- Then reboot normally (the system will reboot once)
- And finally install MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk
- Do not lock back the bootloader : it will corrupt the system
Final observations :
- It could be possible to install MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk first and then install root from it : there is an option to do so but I didn’t tried it…
- The developer options (in the main system menu) won’t show that the system is rooted even if it is (it will only show something like
adb rootandno application root) - I corrupted the system by locking back the bootloader (sometimes I do stupid things). But it’s quite easy to solve this problem : just flash everything back, following again the install instructions of /e/ .
- I read somewhere (sorry l forgot the original post) that this operation might have to be repeated after each update (does it mean that we’ll have to backup the data each time ? I don’t know…)
