In this guide, we will show you the steps to root your Infinix Hot 11 via Magisk patched boot.img. The budget domain is already proud of some notable names. But despite this, Infinix’s offer has managed to capture a reasonable market share. In this regard, its Note and Hot series are the two most popular series in its arsenal. If we talk about the latter, its eleventh repeat soon became a public choice. Not only for the general consumers but also for the tech enthusiasts.
Once you ignore the single and most important requirement to unlock the device’s bootloader, you’ll be in a position to welcome a plethora of mods and tweaks to your device. These include customizing and flashing GSI ROMs, installing custom recovery like TWRP, or gaining administrative access through Magisk. Among them, the latter is the one that has always been Geeks’ favorite choice. If you are on the same page, this guide will help you. Here are the detailed steps to root your Infinix Hot 11 / 11S via Magisk.
Benefits of Rooting
Once you’ve rooted your device by flashing the Magisk patched boot.img via the Fastboot commands, you’ll be in a position to test a number of customizations on your device. These include flashing custom ROMs, installing custom recovery like TWRP, or flashing custom kernels. With these posts, you can also flash Magisk Modules, Xposed Framework, Substratum Themes, Viper4Android and Likes. However, this is only one side of the story.
There are also downsides to doing this. First of all, this process requires an unlocked bootloader. Doing so will erase all data and may also void the device’s warranty. Similarly, WideVine L1 will be downgraded to L3, leaving Netflix unable to stream in HD [FIXED]. SafetyNet will then be activated, which can cause problems with banking apps [FIXED]. So if that’s all right and good, let’s start with the steps to uproot Infinix Hot 11 / 11S via Magisk.
