We have shared the required downloads, pre-requirements, and an Easy Method To Root Advan G5 6201 Using Magisk without TWRP Recovery.

As Android users, most of us want to customize our Android devices heavily. Rooting an Android device opens the unlimited possibilities of customizations, including installing rooted apps, hibernating background running tasks, improving battery life, lock screen or status bar changes, etc. It also offers uninstalling system apps, editing/deleting system root files, installing custom modules, and more. All of these things can’t be possible without rooting.

What is Magisk?

There are two most popular and widely used rooting methods available such as SuperSU and Magisk. Both SuperSU and Magisk offer root access, but most developers and users nowadays prefer Magisk. Magisk is a system-less root that enables root access over the system components without affecting the core files.

Therefore, Magisk alters and stores the temporary files in the device boot partition. This is a quite safe method and effective as well. It doesn’t hamper Google’s SafetyNet security feature; other banking apps also work fine with Magisk. Magisk comes with a Magisk Manager app that offers rooted device status, downloading & installing custom modules on your device, and more.
