Magisk, the popular Android rooting solution, offers a user-friendly way to modify your device's system. While traditional methods involve patching boot images, newer techniques allow you to patch recovery images for a more seamless experience. This guide outlines how to install Magisk on /e/, an privacy-focused Android distribution, using the recovery patching method.
/e/ typically provides a recovery image alongside its system files, making it suitable for Magisk patching.
**Prerequisites**
* **A rooted /e/ device:** Ensure your /e/ device is already rooted using a compatible method.
* **Download Magisk:** Obtain the latest Magisk APK from the official [https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/downloads.html](https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/downloads.html).”
* **Recovery Image:** Identify the recovery image provided by /e/. The filename typically includes 'recovery-e' followed by the version number. For example, 'recovery-e-3.0.1-a14-20250608498955'.
**Steps**
1. **Copy Recovery Image:** Transfer the /e/'s recovery image (e.g., 'recovery-e-3.0.1-a14-20250608498955') to your device's storage. This can be done via USB transfer, but remember it may require enabling USB debugging on your device.
2. **Install Magisk Manager:** Install the downloaded Magisk APK on your rooted /e/ device. Open the Magisk Manager app.
3. **Locate Recovery Patching Option:** In the Magisk Manager app, tap on the 'Install' button. You should see a section titled 'Patch a File'. Tap on it.
4. **Select Recovery Image:** Navigate to the location of the copied recovery image on your device (using the Magisk Manager’s file browser). Select the recovery image file.
5. **Patch the Recovery Image:** The Magisk Manager will proceed to patch the selected recovery image. Once finished, a patched recovery image will be saved.
6. **Reboot to Recovery:** Reboot your device into recovery mode. The exact steps to enter recovery mode may vary depending on your specific /e/ device model.
7. **Flash Patched Recovery:** From the recovery menu, locate the newly patched recovery image and flash it to your device. This process will overwrite the original recovery image with the Magisk-modified version.
8. **Reboot System:** After flashing the patched recovery image, reboot your device into the system.
**Important Notes**
* **Check Compatibility:** Ensure your chosen Magisk version is compatible with your specific /e/ ROM version and architecture.
* **Backup Data:** Before performing any modifications, it's highly recommended to back up your important data.
