1. Download update.upx
I've used the script of @winstonma to download the update.upx.
2. I've modified the script to rename instead of remove update.upx and the unencrypted update.zip. After unpacking update.zip you'll find the file boot.img.
3. I've installed magisk, clicked install in the app, unclicked recovery and choose the boot.img file. It generated the file magisk-patched-23000_X4h1q.img. (The last part of the filename is just random letters.)
4. Hooked up the Note Pro to the PC (Linux). Copied the img-file to PC.
5. Gave the following commands as root:

Code:

[root@pc]# adb devices
List of devices attached
K3T8R520N5  device

[root@pc]# adb reboot-bootloader
[root@pc]# fastboot devices
K3T8R520N5  Android Fastboot

[root@pc]# fastboot reboot recovery
Rebooting into recovery                            OKAY [  0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.050s
[root@pc]# fastboot devices
K3T8R520N5  Android Fastboot

[root@pc]# fastboot boot ./magisk_patched-no-preserve_no-recovery.img
Sending 'boot.img' (9044 KB)                       OKAY [  0.259s]
Booting                                            OKAY [  0.000s]
Finished. Total time: 0.265s
[root@pc]# fastboot devices
K3T8R520N5  Android Fastboot

[root@pc]# fastboot oem unlock

(It hangs on the last command. On any command after fastboot boot image.img)
No luck yet! It doesn't boot and hangs on any further commands of fastboot. Holding the power button disables the Note Pro and holding it again restarts it. No harm nor success.

Did anyone have more luck? Should the recovery switch be turned on? I've followed the threads on rooting for the Max3 and the Lumi and they have success with this approach.

There are 2 switches Preserve force encryption and Recovery Mode. So that's four images that can be generated: I'll try them first. All four fail.
