After unlocking your Android, you can install and use a custom firmware on your device.

If you are satisfied with your phone’s stock firmware, skip this step, otherwise download the custom firmware and copy it to your Android internal storage and then flash it via custom recovery.

Step 4. Install Magisk or SuperSU

Magisk and SuperSU handle the root access permissions on your Android device, so that you can give super user requests to root apps, and say your device is rooted. Magisk is a very good solution compared to SuperSU, it is open-source and allows you to use applications on your device which does not work on rooted devices.

I advise you to install Magisk on your Android device. Download the Magisk flash file and copy it to your mobile device, reboot to custom recovery and then just install the flash file.

Step 5. Check that your device is rooted

After everything is complete, just reboot your device and wait for the welcome screen. The first boot may take time, so please wait until it is complete.

Set up your device for use first, add a Google account and go to the Play Store. Install and open the root checker app (e.g., Root Checker), provide a superuser request and verify that your device is rooted.
