Q & A
Who is John Wu and why is he significant?
-John Wu is the founder of the Magisk project, which introduced systemless rooting for Android devices, allowing users to modify their system without altering the device's system partition.
What is the main purpose of this tutorial video?
-The tutorial is designed to guide users on how to root their Android devices in the easiest way possible, while also ensuring they can still run banking applications that typically block access on rooted phones.
What is the first step in the rooting process?
-The first step is unlocking the bootloader of the Android device. For Xiaomi or Poco devices, there is a separate video tutorial available to walk users through the process.
What role does a custom recovery like TWRP or Orange Fox play in the rooting process?
-A custom recovery is needed to flash the Magisk zip file onto the device, enabling root access. It also helps manage files and backups during the rooting process.
What is the importance of renaming the Magisk APK file to a ZIP file?
-Renaming the Magisk APK file to a ZIP file is necessary because custom recoveries like TWRP or Orange Fox can only flash ZIP files. This step allows the recovery to install Magisk properly.
How do you resolve issues with banking apps not working on rooted devices?

Transcripts
all right how many of you guys remember
this tweet from John Wu for those of you
who don't know him he's basically the
founder of the entire concept of magisk
and systemless routing so it's needless
to say that whenever we found his post
we kind of felt heartbroken
but you guys didn't really think that
matches would be gone for good did you
so I've been hearing lately that you
guys want a tutorial on how to root your
Android devices in the easiest way
possible and also be able to run banking
applications on your phones well I'm
here to help you out with that today so
let's not waste any more time and Jump
Right In shall we but before that here's
a quick disclaimer that I'm just here
for the tutorial and in no ways am I
saying that you guys should or must go
ahead and start rooting your devices so
I'll not be held responsible if you do
end up doing something stupid to your
phones okay now let's talk about what
you'll need to get started with the
routing process now first up you need to
have an unlock Bootloader if you happen
to own any of the devices from xiaomi or
Poco you can watch this particular video
of mine I made this quite a while back
and it should walk you through the
process quite easily if you happen to
own any other devices there are plenty
of other tutorials here on YouTube and
they should be able to get the job done
quite easily as well so the next thing
that you'll need is a custom recovery
like TWRP or orange fox now if you're
running Android 12 or later chances are
that your internal storage might not get
decrypted properly and in order to
transfer files between your phone or
other devices I suggest using a usb OTG
thumb drive like this one not sponsored
by SanDisk by the way and you should be
good to go alright so with that being
said let's hop on to our phones and
we'll be straight away navigating to
magismanager.com which is the official
website for downloading magisk scroll
down a bit to where it says download
matches cap and then tap on the button
to start downloading the APK file once
the download has completed head over to
your file manager app and inside the
downloads folder select the APK file you
just downloaded hit rename and replace
the extension of the file from dot APK
to dot zip perfect alrighty now let's
reboot our phones and head to our
recovery which is orange fox in this
case now the version of orange Fox that
I have right here can decrypt our
internal storage quite well so we can
easily access the zip file from our
downloads folder but like I mentioned
earlier if your recovery can't decrypt
your internal storage you can always use
a USB thumb drive like this one to save
the magisk APK or zip file and you can
always access it through TWRP or orange
Fox by changing the storage option like
so okay so now let's tap to select the
magic zip file that we have right here
and we are going to swipe the bar down
below to start flashing matches onto our
phones now I've watched countless videos
here on YouTube that tell you guys to
manually pair action Flash the ram disk
file aka the boot image file or the
recovery or stuff like that but the way
we are doing this here in this tutorial
you don't need to worry about any of
those things because it's all automated
the zip file will take care of
everything so sit back and relax let the
zip file do its thing and once the
flashing is completed you can simply go
ahead and reboot your phones so once you
have been rebooted you'll see this
generic matches cap icon in your app
drawer so go ahead and tap on it and it
will open up a prompt like so to which
we'll go ahead and tap ok then tap on
settings select allow from this source
and then tap on update to install the
magiscap onto your phones after the
installation has been done you can
verify if you have root access Through
The Root Checker application and as you
can see right here our phone is indeed
rooted successfully alright so now that
you've rooted your devices you'll soon
find out that many of your applications
especially the banking applications have
completely stopped working on your phone
so how do we take care of that you ask
let's find out so first of all we are
going to take care of safety net and to
do that download the universal safety
net fix module from the link in the
description below and then head over to
the Magis cap go to the modules Tab and
tap on install from Storage then select
the safety net fix zip file to have it
flashed onto our phones but don't just
tap on reboot right now hit the back
button like so then tap on home and tap
on the settings icon up here scroll down
to where it's labeled magisk and here is
where you'll find the familiar toggle
for systemless hosts so let's tap on it
to have this enabled then we have this
functionality called zygisk which is
essentially an alternate to magisk
height so let's tap on it to have it
enabled like so and also tap to enable
enforce deny list then go ahead and
reboot your system once you have been
booted back head over to the magiscap
once again and tap on settings scroll
down once again to the part where it
says magisk and now we are going to tap
to configure our deny list from the list
right here make sure that you have
selected all the applications that have
not working after rooting your devices
and also don't forget to include Google
Play services from the list of system
applications just to avoid further
issues in the future once that has been
completed go ahead and reboot your phone
once more and I promise that this is the
last time we are doing this but once
you're back online this time open up the
Play Store and search for this app
called Island and go ahead and simply
install it to your phones alright so let
me explain what we are doing right here
the Island app that we just downloaded
is basically used to create a Sandbox
environment within our Android system
more like a work profile you can say and
how it will be helpful to us is
basically we can clone all of our
downloaded applications over there
especially the banking applications and
in that environment Magis will not be
detected at all or in other words you
can say that our banking applications
will not find out that our phones have
been rooted now I know this is a pretty
weird workaround but trust me this is
the only application that we'll ever
need to get banking applications running
perfectly fine on our rooted devices and
for those of you who are concerned about
the authenticity of the app let me tell
you guys that this app has over 1
million downloads in the Google Play
Store and it's also from the same
developer who designed greenify an app
that is very popular among the Android
community so you should not be having
any second thoughts regarding this
application all right so now let's open
up the Island app and the first page
you'll be greeted with is this
agreements page to which we are going to
click on accept and this will create a
work profile on our phones let's
navigate through the steps like so and
then you'll be greeted with this page
right here now here notice these two
tabs Island and Mainland the mainland is
basically your phone system and here is
where you'll find all your applications
so let's start by selecting our very
first app right here access mobile and
here at the bottom tap on this add
button and select Island to create a
copy of access mobile onto our work
environment you'll get this prompt to
Grant root access so make sure that you
accept and you should be good to go with
the next app let's continue with a few
more applications like HDFC and phone
all right now heading back to our app
drawer you'll find a walk tab has been
created for you and in that tab are all
the applications that are running inside
the island sandbox and now if you try to
open up any of the banking applications
from this tab you'll see that they run
perfectly fine without any issues
alright so that was pretty much it for
this tutorial a bit weird and complex I
would say but overall rewarding so I
hope you guys enjoyed watching this
video and if you did definitely hit that
like button it really helps me out a lot
and if you're new to the channel
definitely subscribe and turn on
notifications so that you don't miss out
on a single upload so this is me Rohit
signing off I'll see you guys in my next
video and thank you so much for watching
