View attachment 5947583A friendly hello to all of my fellow N10 owners and potential readers as well!

​

So, a lot of fellow android peeps here have heard of and maybe have even used Magisk.

Ah, Magisk. The best rooting solution compared to some shady one-root click apps which are suspicious as HELL!

I love to root Android devices and have control over my devices!

However, it seems most banks and some other devs don't. Sadly, root detection and other types of stuff like that is nowadays being used to check against our devices.

But there come some issues as well like bootlooping and other stuff.

However, there exists some forks of Magisk.

One of them is Magisk Delta.

If you are one of the people who found no success in hiding root detection from other apps with the official Magisk app, then this guide may be for you!

So, what does Magisk Delta do in terms of hiding and protection against bootloops?

Well, for one, the guy who made it is HuskyDG (or the dev who made the bootloop protection module). Within the settings is the bootloop protection setting built-in.

Next, there also exists a well-known setting called "MagiskHide", which was removed from the official Magisk app for reasons I do not know well.

Instead of denying certain apps root and having root applied to ALL apps, MagiskHide's enforce sulist and configure sulist option helps you to grant certain apps the ability to ASK for superuser dialog instead of the typical ALL apps can ask for superuser dialog.

What this effectively means is that, while using Magisk Delta with the proper settings enabled, other apps on the system have no way of knowing that the device is rooted besides the fact that the bootloader is unlocked or there are certain root apps on the system.

So, how can one start using this amazing fork on their Nord N10 device? Simple!

There are some other methods but for now, this is the MOST straight forward way you can get Magisk Delta.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I AM USING A BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED NORD N10 WITH OOS 11.0.13 AND BE86AA EDITION. I'M ASSUMING THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED AND YOU ARE USING OOS 11.0.13 AND EITHER THE BE86AA EDITION OR BE89BA EDITION.

DISCLAIMER: I, THE AUTHOR OF THIS POST, AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE/ISSUE TO YOUR DEVICE OR ANYTHING FROM FOLLOWING ANY OF MY GUIDES. ​

First off, you need a patched boot image.

Attached to the end of this post is my own zipped patched boot image for the OOS 11.0.13 Model BE86AA edition of Nord N10.

Use 7zip or any other way to extract the boot image within.

You can also patch an unmodded boot image of your current version on your own, but I'll add that detail sometime later.

Now, here's what you do.

Grab the zipped boot image, unzip it and then do the following:

1) Reboot to bootloader. (Just shutdown your device and while powering it on, hold the VOL down button until recovery menu appears, unlock with your phone PIN/Password (if using Official Recovery) and Tap Advanced->Reboot To Fastboot.) (Another way is to enable Developer Options then ADB debugging and allowing access from computer to phone and entering into CMD/Terminal without quotes "adb reboot bootloader")

2) Make sure the bootloader is unlocked. If it is unlocked, enter the following code:

fastboot boot (path of the [B]unzipped[/B] patched boot image provided)

3) The phone will now boot to your system. Make sure you are connected to the internet and within some seconds, you'll see a Magisk Delta app on the phone. You ARE NOT DONE YET.

4) As you see, the magisk delta app doesn't have an icon (only android icon is visible). You need to tap on it and it will then ask you to "Upgrade to full Magisk to finish the setup. Download and Install?". Tap on "Ok".

It will then download the full magisk delta app and it may ask you a prompt to install it. I say may because it did automatically for me.

5) After installing the complete app, open it and install Magisk directly by tapping on the "Direct Install (Recommended)" option. After installing, reboot.

6) If your phone gets stuck at the bootloader warning (sometimes happens on custom GSI) don't panic. Just reboot your phone again.

7) Once your phone's booted, open the Magisk Delta app again and tap on the cog icon.

You can choose to enable DNS over HTTPS (recommended to do so) but the main important ones are the following: Zygisk, Bootloop Protection, MagiskHide and Enforce SuList.

Once all are toggled on, reboot your phone again for them to take effect.

8) Navigate back to the Magisk Delta app after the phone has rebooted and you can now go to the Configure MagiskHide option and allow detection of root for those apps which need root to properly work (Rooted file managers, rooted apps, etc)

And... You're done with the installation of Magisk Delta!

If you are new to installing magisk or installing a fork of it, give yourself a pat on the back for this task!

Sometimes, apps may still detect root. For those, I recommend both flashing the safetynet fix (DISPLAX version) after clearing storage/cache of play store and play services, as well as installing shelter and keeping your bank apps / root detecting apps in the work profile!

I hope you both enjoyed the installation process as well as enjoy Magisk Delta as much I have done so.

Also, special thanks to DuskyHG for Magisk Delta itself as well as to @andreas__ for his Magisk guide for which I learnt how to create a patched boot image for Magisk Delta!

That's all for now!

Keep Tinkering and Learning!
