How to Root Vivo T1 5G via Magisk Patched Boot.img

In this guide, we will show you the steps to root Vivo T1 5G via Magisk Patched Boot.img. When it comes to the custom develpemt, then you aren’t likely to see a device from Vivo occupying the front row in the stands. And the reason for the same is the OEM’s own actions. They have out a slew of restrictions on custom development, so much so that even tech enthusiasts will think twice before entering into this domain.

With that said, the developers have done an amazing job in simplifying this process and removing most of the roadblocks put in place by Vivo. As a result of which, you could now easily unlock the bootloader on your device. And once that has been checked off the list, you’ll then be able to gain administrative access over your Vivo T1 5G by rooting it via Magisk Patched Boot.img. Since we have already dealt with the unlocking process, it’s time to make you aware of the rooting instructions. Follow along.

Benefits and Risks of Rooting

Once you root your device by flashing the Magisk patched boot.img via Fastboot Commands, you will be in a position to try out a plethora of customizations on your device. These include the likes of flashing custom ROMs, installing a custom recovery like TWRP, or flashing a custom kernel. Along the same lines, you could also flash Magisk Modules, Xposed Framework, Substratum Themes, Viper4Android, and the likes. However, this is just one side of the story.

Carrying out this process also has its downsides. First off, the process requires an unlocked bootloader. Doing so will wipe off all the data and could nullify the device’s warranty as well. Likewise, WideVine L1 will be degraded to L3, resulting in the inability to stream Netflix in HD [FIXED]. Then the SafetyNet will be triggered [FIXED], which might cause issues with banking apps [FIXED]. So if all that’s well and good, then let’s get started with the steps to root the Vivo T1 5G via Magisk.

Install Android SDK

install adb platform tools windows

To begin with, install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.

Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking

Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.
