BenT loosing your data with Magisk Manager
credits 25013

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Magisk Manager and a patched
boot.img to get root access on your UMIDIGI smartphone.
UMI OS based phones with Efuse partition protection (UMIDIGI S, C2, S2 Pro and new Z1 Pro) can not get root access, patched boot.img files

Windows is logged in with administrator rights and your computer has a working internet connection when first time
connecting your phone.

The same version of SPFT ROM package that you have installed on your device; you can find and download it in
the ROM section.

Magisk Manager: MagiskManager-v7.5.1.apk or you can find the latest version HERE

- Charge the battery of your phone to at least 50% before starting this process.
- Your phone must be connected to the internet.
- It is recommended to use a PC/laptop with 64-bit Windows 10 operating system, other Windows
versions may not work correctly. 32-bit Windows 7-10 versions are not compatible, 32-bit Windows XP
may work but not guaranteed. Your PC must be connected to the internet to be able to automatically

Select CLOSE and you may exit from Magisk Manager.


Troubleshooting: If the flashing process fails, you can do the followings.
a) Uninstall Magisk Manager
b) Download and install an older version of Magisk Manager
c) Run the app and let it update itself
d) Start again from point 4.

7. Copy the patched boot.img file to your computer. It is recommended to copy it into the ROM folder for
easier operation.
Troubleshooting: First you might need to reboot your phone or move the patched_boot.img file to a different location (for example to the root of
your phone storage) or the Windows file manager (MTP browser) may not see it in the Download directory.

seconds, then disconnect.

10. Open the scatter file, that you can find in the ROM folder.

11. Leave only the boot line checked, then click on its Location field and brows for the patched boot.img file.

Warning! The next step will void the warranty of your phone! Your seller is allowed to refuse to process
any warranty case if your phone contains modified system software.

12. Click on the Download button and connect your phone to a USB port of your computer. The flashing process will
start automatically and it needs just a few seconds to be done.*

*At some models you have to press one of the volume buttons while connecting to USB but most of them don't need it and you
654 7537 thousan mustn't press any of the buttons.

13. Now the patched boot.img has been flashed. You may remove the USB cable. Power on your phone and let the
Android system boot up.

14. Open Magisk Manager. Now your phone has permanent root access and Superuser is installed.

If you need it, now you can flash a custom recovery on your phone.
If you need to unroot your phone, just simply flash the full ROM with the original factory files in Firmware Upgrade
mode - your user data will be erased. That will restore the warranty state of your device as well. If you have an
Android 9.0 or newer phone, you also need to re-lock the bootloader.

Hi bencebasci, now i got it. It was a Problem for Windows 7 (64) to take the Drivers correctly, at least i got it to work, the Phone is
rooted now successfully. I had to disable searching for Driver-Updates at Windows-Update, maybe this works for others too.
Are there any Custom Roms for the Z2?

Hi Pony,
That's why I recommend to use Windows 10. There's a custom ROM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com ... 80726-base-t3835275
