In this guide, we will show you the steps to install Magisk in the recovery partition and root your Android device that doesn’t have Ramdisk. So how will this entire process be carried out? First off, we will download the stock firmware of your device and get the recovery.img file. This will then be patched via the Magisk App, giving us the magisk_patched.img file. Finally, this patched file will be flashed to the recovery partition and your device stands rooted. Follow along for the detailed instructions.<\/p>\n

In one of my articles: How to Root Android device without TWRP Recovery<\/a>, the first prerequisite is that your device needs to have Ramdisk. If that is not the case, then you wouldn’t be able to patch the stock boot.img file and then flash it to the boot partition<\/a>. And this is exactly what happened with one of our readers- his device didn’t come with a boot ramdisk.<\/p>\n

So he asked for an alternate route (apart from flashing the Magisk app via TWRP, since there was no custom recovery for his device). Turned out, there exists another method to root a device that doesn’t have Ramdisk. And this guide is going to focus on this set of devices only. So without further ado, here are the steps to install Magisk in the recovery partition and then root your Android device.<\/p>\n
