I would tend to link to the source rather than this site which appears to be making money by advertising someone else's work (they may be doing some valuable service, but it wasn't immediately obvious).

@ehem sorry i wasn't aware of that.
github doesn't seem to have apk files, i updated my post with a link to xda, and also added a note about AdAway and Systemless Hosts.

Hi!

I've rooted my Cosmo successfully using the boot-magisk.img you provided (unlocked the bootloader and flushed it with fastboot).
So, is there a guide I can follow to do the same or would you maybe willing to write one?


on the phone:
1) install magisk manager (you'll need to download the APK, and enable unknown sources)
2) activate "OEM unlocking" in developer settings (need to click on the build number repeatedly to get that)
NOTE that this will put some warning message on the display visible every time you boot, and possible make your device un-trusted by some apps, but IIUC there's a way to work around it if it'll ever become a problem with some magisk plugin.

on the PC: install adb and run these:
3) adb reboot bootloader
IIRC you'll need to press the volume up (right cover toggle button) to resume
4) fastboot flashing unlock
IIRC you may also need to press the right toggle button. (THIS WILL RESET ALL YOUR DATA)

5) reboot to bootloader again, see step 3 - (not sure if necessary)
6) download the patched boot image that matches your ROM version, and run:
fastboot flash boot boot-magisk.img
fastboot reboot

in order to be able to run OTA upgrades, you'll need to revert to the original boot image of the previous ROM version (by repeating steps 5 and 6)

note, if you want to use AdAway, you'll need to install a magisk module named: Systemless Hosts

used the flushed image in post #64, upgraded with no problems, no data loss, flushed the new magisk image, works like a charm..

Hi guys.
I've rooted my Cosmo successfully using the boot-magisk.img you provided (unlocked the bootloader and flushed it with fastboot).
Thanks!!

Now there's a firmware update ready and it fails to install.
I understand that if i'll flush the original boot.img that's provided in post #19, i'll be able to run the firmware upgrade?
but then i won't be able to root again, right? and even after Planet eventually release the pre-rooted image, i won't be able upgrade without loosing my data (and since i'll be un-rooted, i can't use Titanium for backup).

any advise?
