Note 3 root
Hello. It was easy to root my Note 3 with the firmware 3.1, but now last firmware 3.2 doesn't contain the boot.img. Yokos told me:"create new boot.img with older boot.img plus executing diff patch (have a look at the installation scripts of firmware update) or create boot.img after booting in EDL mode.", but I don't know what I have to do exactly this time. I need some help

Have you done the actual 3.2 update yet? Do you still have your Magisk 3.1 image?
  • adb reboot bootloader
  • fastboot boot old-magisk.img
  • adb shell
  • su
  • dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
  • Use Magisk.apk to modify /sdcard/boot.img
  • adb pull /sdcard/new-magisk.img
  • adb reboot bootloader
  • fastboot boot new-magisk.img (just to double check)
  • adb reboot bootloader
  • fastboot flash boot new-magisk.img

yes

yes. Do you mean boot.img 3.1 patched with Magisk?

Sorry, I don't understand this command:

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img

Should I change anything there?

Thank you for your help

Is this clearer? You do have ADB ("USB debugging") working? You do have fastboot installed?
Code:
C:\>adb reboot bootloader
C:\>fastboot boot old-magisk.img
C:\>adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
Use Magisk.apk to modify /sdcard/boot.img
Code:
C:\>adb pull /sdcard/new-magisk.img
C:\>adb reboot bootloader
C:\>fastboot boot new-magisk.img (just to double check)
C:\>adb reboot bootloader
C:\>fastboot flash boot new-magisk.img

Hi Renate. I wanted to ask you a question: do you think it's possible to get the boot.img file from the already installed firmware if you don't have the firmware to install? Let me explain better: if you want to root the firmware 3.2 you must have the firmware 3.1 file (from X with Magisk), because the onyx firmware 3.2 doesn't contain the boot.img file, but if you don't have the firmware 3.1 file how do you do? If you don't have a boot.img file you can not patch it with Magisk and therefore you can't root it, right?

You need a boot.img which you patch with Magisk and after this you can boot this image (wo flashing) and run dd commands with root rights via adb.

I will have to do this when the update file of 3.2.x firmware of the Max Lumi will not include the full boot.img. The listed dd commands are working. I have tried them.
