Magisk Canary

The first Developer Preview for Android 11 was released back in February, followed by the second Developer Preview last month. John Wu (the developer behind Magisk) released a Canary build that can root the Android 11. With each new Android version, it’s a challenging task for developers like John Wu to port the utilities and makes them work on the newer version. Fortunately, this process has passed pretty faster for the Magisk as the working solution has already released even though Android 11 is in the initial phase. Here’s the tweet from the developer:

Android 11 moved the Android runtime portion of the https://t.co/DcT3TPh55W.runtime APEX module into https://t.co/WPEpJlDLcp. Didn’t expect this change to affect Magisk, but well I fixed it anyways 🤷‍♂️

— John Wu (@topjohnwu) April 19, 2020

Ahead, you can download Magisk Canary build for the Android 11 and root your device running Android 11 OS.

What is Magisk root? (in case you are new)

Magisk root is the most popular root solution right now in the Android community. With its straightforward and systemless approach, along with the wide range of compatibility, most of the enthusiasts and developers rely on Magisk to gain root access on their phones. Recently, John Wu (aka topjohnwu), the developer behind Magisk, announced Magisk Canary iteration, which is meant to support Android 11.

Apart from the systemless approach, Magisk also comes with its own set of proprietary modular support, which is called a Magisk Module. You can access it from the Magisk Manager app itself. These modules can give you extra features that you won’t be able to find in stock firmware. Further, a third-party developer can create Magisk Modules and publish on their platform for specific devices. If you are looking to root your phone running Android 11, the all-new Magisk Canary is here for you. The download link for Magisk Canary is given below, along with the tutorial to install; read ahead!

    On the latest build (Beta 2) this method no longer works for the app-debug.apk version (topjohnwu has removed app-release.apk for canary).

    After fastboot flashing the magisk_patched.img, to the home screen, there is a pop-up warning that shows before the home screen loads regarding the beta, and the digitizer doesn’t work. So basically if you can’t get past the pop-up, you can’t do anything else, since the operating system won’t load unless you tap the ‘ok’ button
