Xiaomi Redmi K20 came out of the box with Android 9.0 Pie OS. It will soon be upgraded to Android Pie. Here in this guide, we will help you to flash the magisk to root Redmi K20. Read our step by step guide properly!
Who doesn’t want to get the most of his Android device..?! Getting the superuser access through the root and to be able to control various aspects like clock, access to cache, etc. are few of the various possibilities that we can explore. When we mention root access, this means we need to perform a certain modification that will root our phone and we will have access to the root directory of our device. In this post, we will show you how to root Redmi K20.
We will use the Magisk by patching the stock boot image and flash that to your boot partition. All you need to do is download the patched image file from Magisk Manager and flash it.
Mostly uninitiated people compare rooting with hacking which is not correct. The purpose in both contexts is quite different. Hacking is more like breaking into someone’s else system illegally, whereas rooting is mostly done by the owner of an Android device to gain superuser advantages of the device.

Nothing happens after entering the first command. It only says “waiting for device” on the command prompt window. I tried the same with the Fastboot mode on, but it says “Flashing is not allowed in lock state”. Does the bootloader need to be unlocked first? There was no mention of the same if the answer is yes.
Yes!!!
