fastboot flash boot_b replace-with-correct-path/V.X.X.XX.X.ODIMIFE-PATCHED.IMG

(where X's are your phones compilation number)

fastboot reboot

That's it!

Magisk Manager Install (Safest method)

This is the recommended method. If something goes wrong, rebooting your phone should get everything back to normal

Now your phone should have booted normally but now with magisk temporarily installed, please check everything is working. (Camera, Wi-FI, Bluetooth, Calls... Everything else)

If somethig is not working correctly just reboot your phone.

If everything is working as expected, open Magisk Manager and Press Install -> Install -> Direct Install (Recommended).

Wait until Magisk does all the work...

Press Reboot.

That's it!
