Works on Android API 22 - 30,S (except 28)
- Grab Magisk.zip and put in this directory. If you're using ARM system image, replace
busybox
withbusybox_arm
. - For patching the ramdisk with magisk, your AVD must be already created
- Make sure you backup the untouched
ramdisk.img
from<sdk_home>/system-images/<platform>/*/ramdisk.img
. You will need it everytime you want to patch ramdisk with magisk (for the first time and also for subsequent magisk updates). - Clone this repository and copy the original
ramdisk.img
into the clone's folder. - Start the newly created AVD.
- There are three ways to patch ramdisk:
- Execute
patch.sh
orpatch.bat
to install Magisk (pre-downloaded) on the ramdisk.img - Alternatively, you can execute
patch.sh canary
orpatch.bat canary
to install latest canary Magisk on the ramdisk.img. This requires AVD internet connectivity towards github. Note: If choosing to use 'patch.sh', you might need to rundos2unix patch.sh
first so that the script has propper line ending. This is needed when using for example github for desktop, which changes line ending to CRLF instead of LF - If you prefer patching by MagiskManager, execute
patch.sh manager
orpatch.bat manager
, it will create a fakeboot.img
on internal storage. We then launch MagiskManager and clickInstall
and selectboot.img
to patch it. When finished, executepatch.sh pull
orpatch.bat pull
to get the patched ramdisk.img. This method is mainly for Released version of Magisk.
- When finished, copy the patched
ramdisk.img
back to AVD directory. - Power off and restart (cold start) the emulator
- Recommended: update magisk manager
- Enjoy Magisk :)
Only test on Android 8.1
- Grab Magisk.zip and put in this directory.
- Bring up Android system and establish adb connection.
- Execute
prepare_image.sh
orprepare_image.bat
to grab initrd.img and ramdisk.img on hard drive. - Execute
patch_vbox.sh
orpatch_vbox.bat
to patch initrd.img and ramdisk.img - Execute
install_vbox.sh
orinstall_vbox.bat
to install patched images on hard drive. - Restart machine and enjoy Magisk :)
