Steps To Root OPPO Reno 5G Using Magisk

Remember that the files and guide are for OPPO Reno 5G device only. Do not use it on any other device. Follow all the guide mentioned here properly.

Pre-Requirements:

Keep your device battery charged up to 50% for a smoother process.

As we mentioned earlier, take a full backup of device data (Internal Storage, SMS).

A Windows or Mac PC/Laptop also necessary to complete the flashing process.

A USB cable is required to connect your device with the computer.

Download Links:

Download ADB and Fastboot tool for Windows/MAC.

Now, download the OPPO USB Drivers and install on the PC.

You need to download the Latest OPPO Reno 5G Stock ROM.

Download and Install QFil Flash tool on your PC.

We are at GetDroidTips will not be responsible for any issue occurred to your device during or after following this guide. Do it at your own risk.

Extract and Patch Boot.image using Magisk

After downloading the Stock ROM, extract it to your PC.

Connect your device via USB cable and copy the boot.img file only from the extracted folder to your device storage.

Open the Magisk Manager on your device. Select Install and again select install.

Now, tap on ‘Patch Boot Image File’. Install patched boot image TWRP

Go to storage where you have moved the image file earlier.

Now, wait for a couple of seconds and Magisk will start patching the boot image.

Once the boot image is patched, copy the ‘patched_boot.img’ from the internal storage and replace it in the same extracted ROM folder on your PC.

Now, follow the second step to flash the patched boot image file.

How To Install the Patched Boot Image on OPPO Reno 5G

Install the QPST package on your PC and run QFIL. Select Flat build, then navigate the programmer path to your ROM folder. Select the prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf as your programmer path. Next, load XMLs RawProgram0.xml and patch0.xml.
Let’s begin by booting our phone into emergency download mode.
To boot into emergency download mode, you need to press and hold Shift Key and Right Click button on the mouse in the empty space. You will see the below dialog box popping up.
Click on Open Powershell Window or Command window here. Basically, the command prompt opens up upon clicking.
Type the adb command to boot your phone into emergency download mode
adb reboot edl
QFIL should go from ‘No Port’ to ‘Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008’.
Immediately after you see this pop-up, select ‘Download’. This will completely reset your device.
If flashing was successful, wait a bit then boot your device. You should see a little warning complaining that the software has been altered. Wait a little bit more. You can install magisk manager at this point if it didn’t show up after the flash. Reboot the device again.
That’s it! You should have a rooted device now.

In some cases, if the above method doesn’t work on your OPPO Reno 5G, then try via ADB fastboot method.

After extracting ADB fastboot tool, you must move the patched boot image to the same folder. Hold the SHIFT key and click on the right mouse button to open the command window/PowerShell.
Run the following command in the open command prompt.
- Flash the “patched_boot.img” to install Magisk and root your Android device:
```
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
```
- For devices with A/B partition system, use the following commands:
```
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
```
  Please replace [patched_boot.img] with the name of the boot image file you downloaded followed by the .img extension.
The flashing process will begin. Once done, run
```
fastboot reboot
```
