[Please help] Problem with rooting Umidigi A3S
(03-05-2021, 08:42 AM)eokwuanga I haven't rooted a phone in years but I wanted to do that now with my Umidigi A3S, I found an article that said how to do it without unlocking the bootloader or using a custom recovery but the problem is that the instructions aren't clear.
I'm stuck at the part where I'm supposed to extract my boot.img and patch it my magisk.
I download the correct stock rom for my phone, unzipped it and it's a folder with a "boot.img" file in it.
Do I just copy that file and patch it or is there something else I should do 1st?

first, the firmware you downloaded must match the exact build number you have on your device (settings > about phone > build number)
you must unlock bootloader or face red state brick @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19578.html
disable dm_verity (vbmeta) @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32719.html
before you attempt to patch boot using magisk @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html
