Rooting the DC-1 with Magisk (Boot Image Patching)

Assumption: This guide assumes you have already unlocked the bootloader. If you haven't, follow the bootloader unlocking guide (opens in a new tab) before proceeding.

Requirements

• DC-1 boot image (boot.img) from the same firmware version your device is running
• Magisk (opens in a new tab) installed on your device
• ADB and Fastboot installed on your computer

Steps

1. Extract the Boot Image:

   • Download the firmware for your DC-1 and extract boot.img.

2. Patch the Boot Image with Magisk:

   • Transfer boot.img to your device.
   • Open Magisk and tap on “Install.”
   • Choose “Select and Patch a File” and select boot.img.
   • Wait for Magisk to patch the image; it will be saved as magisk_patched.img in Download.

3. Transfer the Patched Boot Image to Your Computer:

   adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img .

4. Flash the Patched Boot Image:

   • Boot your DC-1 into fastboot mode:

     adb reboot bootloader
   • Flash the patched image:

     fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
   • Reboot your device:

     fastboot reboot

5. Verify Root:

   • Open Magisk and check if it reports root access.
   • Optionally, install a root checker app to confirm.

Troubleshooting

• If the device doesn't boot, restore the stock boot image:

  fastboot flash boot boot.img
  fastboot reboot
• Ensure you're using a boot.img from the exact firmware version running on your device.
