Grab Magisk.zip (or Magisk.apk) and put in this directory. If you're using ARM system image, replace busybox
with busybox_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:
patch.sh
or patch.bat
to install Magisk (pre-downloaded) on the ramdisk.img patch.sh canary
or patch.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 run dos2unix 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 LFpatch.sh manager
or patch.bat manager
, it will create a fake boot.img
on internal storage. We then launch MagiskManager and click Install
and select boot.img
to patch it. When finished,
execute patch.sh pull
or patch.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
prepare_image.sh
or prepare_image.bat
to grab initrd.img and ramdisk.img on hard drive.patch_vbox.sh

or install_vbox.bat
to install patched images on hard drive.Reference: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2551#issuecomment-608998420
