Magisk is one of the most popular methods to root any Android devices. SuperSU was once the go to exploit for rooting Android devices, stock firmware and custom ROMS. The development now continues with new Magisk tool. However, Magisk is much more advanced and matured over the years for a full-fledged rooting software. Some of the features, apart from gaining systemless root access on Android, include โ€“ MagiskHide for bypassing root detection, Googleโ€™s SafetyNet bypass, third-party modules support, etc. The developer, topjohnwu, just released a new version of Magisk v21.0 today with official Android 11 support.

Latest Magisk v21 brings official support for Android 11. Now you can gain root access on most of the smartphones and tablets running Android 11 from various manufacturers. This includes Googleโ€™s Pixel lineup, Oxygen OS 11 for OnePlus phones, MIUI 12 for Xiaomi devices, One UI 3.0 from Samsung, ColorOS 11, and much more. It also includes custom ROMS like Lineage OS 18 and AOSP based Android 11 GSI builds for Project Treble devices.
