About crDroid 6.5 based on Android 10:

The crDroid ROM typically known as crDroid Android is a custom ROM that uses the LineageOS as its base. LineageOS base brings its own benefits, such as clean and secure code with regular security patch merges.

crDroid is like LineageOS on steroids. Yes, it provides many more features, customizations, etc. unlike the stock LineageOS which is kind of a clean installation without much customization.

This is an open-source project just like other custom ROMs which has 4 members namely: Neobuddy89, Firebird11, Gwiolf2u, Soubhik-Khan in the core team, and many devices maintainers.

The crDroid 6.5 is the latest version based on the recently released Android 10.

  – So, you need to export the downloaded LineageOS 15.1 ROM build file to the SD card or phone memory from the updater app:
  You can export the downloaded package to the sdcard/phone memory from the Updater app by long-pressing the downloaded file and then selecting “Export” on the top menu

LineageOS 17.1 is now official with 50+ supported devices. In the recent update the team has dropped their built-in SU.

Also, if you remember clearly, SuperSU zip is also not supported since few years. So, what now? How to root LineageOS 17.1?

So, the only rooting method left is Magisk.

Required Downloads to Root LineageOS 17.1

To root the LineageOS 17.1 ROM you need to verify few things and need to install few. This list provides all the required resources.

• LineageOS 17.1 ROM
• Magisk Installer Download
• TWRP recovery Download
• Lineage Recovery Download
• Download ADB
  – ADB Installer for Windows
  – Minimal ADB and Fastboot for Windows
  – ADB Fastboot for Linux and MAC

A Word of Caution before flashing Magisk!

[su_note note_color=”#FBF4DD” text_color=”#A38C68″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]In A/B devices, the custom recovery is installed on boot partition as it lacks a recovery partition. When Magisk is installed, it also resides in the boot partition only.

When Magisk is flashed with the custom recovery, it may bring bootloop or some inconsistent behavior.
To avoid this issue, instead of flashing the recovery you can just boot from the custom recovery on your phone.[/su_note]

How to verify if you have an A/B device?

Enter to adb shell and execute the below command to know:

adb shell
getprop ro.build.ab_update

If the result is true, then your device is using A/B partitions.
For example Google Pixel, OnePlus 6 uses A/B partition

If it does not return anything, then you have a A-only device.
Poco F1 and almost every Xiaomi phone uses A-only partition.

How to Root LineageOS 17.1?

There might be many ways of rooting LineageOS 17.1, but here I am going to write down only a single method, that is flashing Magisk SU zip using a custom recovery. If you are on an official LineageOS 17.1 then you may consider the Lineage Recovery to flash the Magisk or you can flash using the TWRP recovery.

For now, I don’t have a device with Lineage Recovery, so, I will write down how to flash MagiksSU zip using TWRP.

[su_note note_color=”#F9D9D9″ text_color=”#AA4343″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]Flashing Magisk on your phone may cause bootloop. Nothign to worry as you can uninstall Magisk completely. But still before flashing anything on your phone, make a backup of everything.

I am not at all responsible if something happens to your phone.[/su_note]

How to Flash Magisk to Root LineageOS 17.1?

Once ready with the basics, follow the below instructions to install the Mgisk installer zip file

• Download the Magisk Installer zip file to your phone
• Reboot the phone into a custom recovery such as TWRP recovery or Lineage recovery
  Connect your phone, and execute the following command on your pc:

  adb reboot recovery

  [su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]Or you can power off the phone and then press and hold the Power button + Volume Up button to boot into the recovery mode.[/su_note]

• If you have any PIN lock set on the phone then enter the same PIN on the TWRP (if it is asked) to decrypt the phone’s internal storage
• Click Install > Select the Magisk Installer zip file > Swipe to confirm flash

  

• Once done reboot to system and you are done.

As a part of Magisk installation the Magisk Manager app should have been installed. If not installed for some reason, you can manually install the Magisk Manager APK manually. Use the app to manage Magisk related stuff.
