I use Magisk but I have also heard about APatch or KernelSU. What do you use and what are the benefits of it?

    Magisk is a complete platform that focuses on hiding “unauthorized” modifications from the rest of the system. You can add any mods as a virtual overlay, it supports plugins etc. Root is only one of its benefits.

      Just plug it in. If it doesn’t work, unplug it and plug it in again. You might have to repeat this 1023 times before the system is successfully rooted.

    Magisk had some incompatibility issues with lsposed-zygisk, which nearly resulted in losing my phone in a permanent bootloop, but I fixed it by flashing some images.

    I now use Apatch on my Mi 10, running xiaomi.eu HyperOS 1

    PS. I even tried KSU, by compiling a kernel for my phone after watching a ~40minute video on Portuguese with english automated subtitles, lol. Apatch has a much smoother procedure than that and kinda has the benefits of KSU.
