I have a treble and system-as-root but it is not an A/B device. I have rooted it with the help of the MagiskManager patch feature. My understanding is: MagiskManager has modified the following three files for rooting:
boot.img
to remove the signatures.vbmeta.img
to remove the AVB checks(to stop flashing unauthorized binaries).recovery.img
to actually root the device by patchinginit
and adding some files like.backup/.magisk
,.backup/.init
(original init) etc..
Magisk has patched the recovery.img
to boot the device into root mode if you release the recovery mode key combination at a splash screen.
But my requirement is to always boot as root without needing any key combinations.
I know Magisk needs to patch the SE-Policies and init
file before the init process is actually started(as it will turn ON the enforcing
mode). From treble device, my understanding is that the system
partition is mounted before running the init
script.
I think Magisk developers have patched the recover.img
because they want to follow the systemless-root
approach and support for the OTA updates.
So, I want to know if MagiskManager is capable of patching my system.img
file to root the device?
I know the root will be lost if any OTA will come or maybe my device will fail to update the system but this is ok with me as long as I can root it again with the same method :)
This is also fine if instead of rooting on system.img
, I will be able to patch the zImage
to always boot in recovery as root mode.
Please suggest if it is feasible or not. If yes then how?
