[General Topics] Deathdoc8:
So, this is my first guide, I'll try and explain as simply as possible the steps for rooting Android 13 on Vortex HD65.

Things you will need:

1. The boot_a.bin which I have attached below for convenience.

2. The vbmeta_a.bin also attached

3. The Scatter file attached as well

4. SP Flash Tool >>>> Which can be downloaded here: https://spflashtool.com/files/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win.rar The password for this is: spflashtool.com

5. Adb platform-tools >>>>> Which can be downloaded here: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

6. magisk apk, I used v27 >>>>> which can be downloaded here:

https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v27.0/Magisk-v27.0.apk

STEPS:

1. First you need to go into settings, go to about, and click seven times on the build number to enable developer mode

2. Go to System settings, click developer options, and enable USB Debugging and click the mark to enable OEM unlock

3. Open your platform-tools folder and enter cmd in the address bar to open command prompt. View attachment 6111300

9. The next part is crucial to the success of the process. We need to push the boot_a.bin file to the device. To do this we need to copy the boot_a.bin I attached for you into the platform-tools folder DON'T try to copy by MTP to the device as it will corrupt. Instead again in the platform-tools command line type: adb push boot_a.bin /sdcard

10. Now install the magisk apk v27 on the device and open the app.

11. Click to install and when prompted to choose the file to patch you will select the boot_a.bin that we pushed to the device. It should be in the main directory.

12. After it patches we can rename the patched image to let's say boota.img

13. Again we can't just copy this new img using MTP, so open your platform-tools command line and enter: adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/boota.img

14. Now we need to type: adb reboot fastboot

15. Now we flash the pulled boota.img by typing: fastboot flash boot_a boota.img

16. Next we need to flash the vbmeta a which I initially had trouble doing through command prompt so we now will switch over to SP Flash Tool

17. Select the Scatter file attached here

18. Check ONLY the vbmeta_a box and in the location field select the vbmeta_a.bin that I attached.

20. Disconnect the phone from the computer

21. In SP Flash Tool click the download button then plug in the powered off phone without pushing any buttons.

22. You should quickly receive an OK popup.

25. Once device is booted up you can check magisk and see that you now have superuser access and a successful rooted Android 13 device.
