Does twrp survive flashing magisk(or anything that alters the boot image) on devices without recovery partition?

I have recently decided to flash twrp on my device but upon further inspection it seems like twrp installs to the boot.img ramdisk on my device since it doesnt have a recovery. I am not sure but i think flashing a magisk altered boot image(or any boot image for that matter) would almost certainly break it. Does it behave like that? And if yes, how can it be circumvented?

Why is the process of rooting still incredibly vague and convoluted 10 years later?

I couldn't figure out how to root before because everything was vague and there were often multiple different supposed methods for rooting a device. Things seem largely the same as of now. I just want to root my old Moto One 5G Ace. How do I do that?

Set up Netflix on a rooted Android device without permanently installing a module

Hi everyone, the Widevine level on rooted my OnePlus 13 was downgraded to L3 and when I solved the issue I inadvertently discovered a way to set up Netflix on a rooted Android device. In this article I'll share it with you.

This is what you exactly need to do in order in order to set up Netflix on a rooted device without installing a module permanently:

(1) Download and install Netflix from the Google Play Store.

(2) Download and install https://github.com/hzy132/liboemcryptodisabler with your root manager. I know I said that you don't need a module but in order to open and login into Netflix you really need to install this module through manager or else Netflix will show error 93.

(3) Log in into Netflix.

(4) Delete Liboemcrypto Disabler with your root manager.

(5) Reopen Netflix and let the error 93 pop up.

(6) Close Netflix.

(7) Reopen Netflix, now you should open and use Netflix as usual without any kind of errors.

(8) After you followed the written steps you should have Netflix set up.

The Widevine level will show up as L1 on DRM Info if you even got that app but on Netflix it'll show L3 but the Widevine level on Netflix is leading.

This is if you got "L1" according to DRM Info the Widevine system ID will likely have 10 digits, shortly as long you got the bootloader unlocked you can never have L1 but only L3.

I hope that this tutorial was helpful and if you got any questions feel free to ask them lastly!

Can You Root A Samsung Galaxy A12? (SM-A125U)

Ive recently started using the phone once again after 2 years and updated it to Android 12. I’ve been searching for a while now if it’s possible or not, not getting clear answers. OEM unlocking doesn’t show up in the developer options, so I’m guessing it’s somewhat impossible, even with Magisk?

Your device does not have an init_boot partition, which is why your flashing attempts failed. Instead, the correct partition to flash Magisk should be boot_a or boot_b, as your device follows the A/B partition scheme.
