Magisk – one of the most common rooting methods for any Android device. For rooting Android devices, stock firmware and custom ROMS, SuperSU was once the go to exploit. The growth is now continuing with the latest Magisk method.
However, Magisk is much more advanced and matured over the years for a full-fledged rooting software. Some of the features, apart from gaining systemless root access on Android, include – MagiskHide for bypassing root detection, Google’s SafetyNet bypass, third-party modules support, etc. The developer, topjohnwu, just released a new version of Magisk v21.0 today with official Android 11 support. So download and install stable Magisk 21.0 zip and latest Magisk Manager v8.0.0 APK.
Latest Magisk v21 brings official support for Android 11. Now you can gain root access on most of the smartphones and tablets running Android 11 from various manufacturers. This includes Google’s Pixel lineup, Oxygen OS 11 for OnePlus phones, MIUI 12 for Xiaomi devices, One UI 3.0 from Samsung, ColorOS 11, and much more. It also includes custom ROMS like Lineage OS 18 and AOSP based Android 11 GSI builds for Project Treble devices.
All of your favorite features from previous releases, like Magisk v20.4 with official support for the Android 10 OS update, are also included in the new version. It also changed the MagiskSU (supersu) on many Android devices for better root support. The developer has also made substantial improvements to the root structure on Android phones and the way Magisk hides root detection.
