How to use Magisk Manager & boot.img to root Android

(03-10-2018, 08:09 AM)vkalu02 Please, I downloaded a firmware that matches my build number but when I opened the file I saw an sc7720 instead of an sc7731c firmware. I took the boot.IMG file and made magisk create a patched boot image file.
I'm confused in flashing this because all the itel A11 I have seen in Nigeria is sc7731. Mine Is also sc7731.
Do I go ahead to flash this boot image file?
If not, how do I extract my own boot image file?
Miracle box 2.58 gives me " boot error id :1" error.
Please I need advise.
you probably got this "sc7720" in research download tool? if yes then its nothing to worry about. the name you see on top is usually autogenerated by whatever tool was used in creating the PAC
you can still confirm the build number of the firmware using the methods 4 or 7 at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16005.html
if it comes down to you having to backup from your device, then you'll need to use a hardware box not loader version
cm2spd would be preferred so you can create a PAC file backup

thanks for giving me the relief.
Unfortunately, my PC battery just went down after resolving adb issues I had. I promise to give you feedback as soon as I charge my PC.

After patching the boot.img with magisk the Patched file became 6 mb from 16 mb before patching. Is this normal . Would the file decrease in size after patching??? Waiting for your answer before i flash the file.

(18-10-2018, 01:23 AM)Deeni131 sorry hovatek ,i watched the video again ,and i notice the size of boot.img in the videos was 11 mb before patching and also Appear with the same size after patching . Why is that so pls ,im curious cos i dnt wnna brick my phone.
Forget about the file size @x3non already cleared that for you. So long as the boot.img is extracted from your phone's build firmware then go ahead and flash the patched boot.
