Now you need to get the boot.img for your phone either 00:23 from the firmware which you downloaded online or from a rom which you backed up or 00:29 extracted from your phone. You can backup your phone using a variety of tools 00:34 depending on your chipset but anyway you either get the boot.img from the firmware or 00:39 extracted from your phone. Now, once you have your boot.img, you need to copy to your phone 00:44 storage because you're going to be working on that on the device. Now I have my 00:49 magisk installed and I'm also going to check my root status to show that 00:55 the phone is not rooted okay? so I'm starting from the very beginning, from 00:58 scratch. So you can see I do not have root access on this phone so I will be 01:02 rooting the phone using magisk and my boot.img. Now, its very important you get a 01:08 boot.img for your variant. You know, when it comes to Android, there are number of 01:12 variants so you just can't use any boot.img on your device. You need to get one 01:18 that is for your variant or close to your build number even for your build number 01:22 okay? So once you have that in place, you're going to launch magisk manager. On 01:31 this screen, you just select NO THANKS. Now, if you're using a Samsung device you might 01:37 want to change your settings. You come under Patch Boot Output 01:45 Format. Now, you'll want to change yours to .img.tar that is 01:49 for Samsung users who want to flash their patched boot.img using Odin 01:56 okay? but I want to use in .img format so I'll just leave it as it 02:00 is ok? Samsung users just take note of that 02:03 alright? So now at this screen, you're going to tap Install then you tap Install 02:11 again. Now you're going to select Patch Boot Image File. 02:20 Now, I'm going to locate my stock boot.img, I saved that to the Hovatek 02:27 folder on my internal storage. Okay, I have it here. I'm going to select it now so 02:39 I'm going to allow. So now you'll notice that magisk is going to download the 02:46 zip file and then begin patching alright? So I'll just wait a couple of seconds for 02:59 okay it's almost done, I think I can just slide off so you can see. So now what is 03:05 happening right now is that magisk is now patching the boot image which I just 03:10 loaded and then it's going to produce the patched boot.img for me, its 03:20 going to save it to the phone storage for me alright? So once that is done, I'll 03:25 just head over to flashing the patched boot.img to my device okay? 03:36 packing boot image. 03:45 You might be wondering why I have adb opened here. Its because I want to flash using fastboot. Alright! 03:51 so it says patched boot image is placed here so I'm 03:57 going to actually verify that by launching my file manager. Internal 04:08 storage. I'm looking for Magisk Manager. As you can see, I 04:15 have my patched boot.img, its 11.43 MB. So now, I'm going to copy 04:20 this file to my PC from which I'm going to flash. Now, at this 04:30 point, you now need to flash your boot.img .There's a lot of ways you 04:35 can flash your boot image depending on your kind of chipset and what you have. You might decide to 04:40 flash using a tool, maybe like Odin, SP Flash tool, Research Download tool, Miracle 04:45 box, depending on what you have at the moment or for most devices, you can 04:51 flash using fastboot. Now, I'm going to be demonstrating how to flash using fastboot 04:55 okay because that's quite general for devices 04:57 alright? So first off, I need to copy this patched boot image to my device 05:02 and that would take a couple of seconds so let me just do that quickly. Alright so I've 05:12 copied the patched boot.img to my adb folder and that is 05:20 what I have over here as you can see so now I'm going to be flashing this using 05:26 fastboot. Don't forget, you can flash your boot image using a variety of methods, 05:30 it depends on your chipset but I'm using 05:37 fastboot because that's actually quite general alright?
