Hi everyone, so I have e installed on my Poco F1, I also installed TWRP.
I tried to root my phone with Magisk, but when I did this from TWRP, e would no longer boot.
I think it was the latest canary build and yes thats the way. did you do a clean flash of /e/-os? Which firmware version are you running? Did you check for old remains of magisk modules and installations?
I’m not rooting my /e/ phones - and if I do, then only for testing purposes. I remove pre-installed /e/ apps using ADB commands. Also with the “File Manager” of TWRP you can do some things without rooting your /e/ phone.
If /e/ OS is installed and to root Xiaomi Poco F1 using Magisk try this: On the TWRP home screen, tap on the Keep Read Only button to not allow system modifications.
The user has talked about root the device NOT the OS.
Rooting the device is unlocking the bootloader.
As @archjehas written, there is always a way remove a mod your OS without root.
So I would prefer to post you wishes and we will show you HowToDo without root
I appreciate the feedback everyone, but I found that the e rom is just not fit for my needs. I moved to LineageOS with microg instead, and found a more suitable platform for my work.
@harvey186, The article you link to gives 5 (at a pinch) reasons for not rooting but links to 10 reasons for rooting.
There’s no right or wrong about this. It depends on one’s individual needs and level of experience.
As someone who has been coding since 1979, professionally since 1990, and practices good security hygiene I think it’s reasonable for me to root my devices. On the other hand, my girlfriend is someone whose devices should never be rooted. YMMV.
