Does this mean I can extract the boot image on an unroooted phone, to root it?

Unclear. To me, you get the payload.bin from roms you download, but that don’t necessarily expose boot.img, but I don’t see how there would be a way for magisk to find a payload.bin on your rom on its own, it’s just another more convenient way of getting a boot.img.

I’m assuming this is for patching an ota file. Right now I download the factory image and patch the init_boot.img from that, and flash it after I download and flash the OTA. I guess this means I don’t have to download both

Where do you download the factory image from? I can’t find it on the Motorola website, or any trusted source.

I’ve personally got a pixel, and Google makes the factory images freely available. If I remember right my old Motorola had a desktop updater app that you could install if you set the USB mode on your phone to something like “installer” or similar. I could grab OTA files from the cache on the updater.

This is for custom roms mainly. LineageOS for example gives you a payload.bin but not a boot.img.

Good stuff. Can’t wait for this to make its way to Lygisk release.

I switched to iOS a couple of years ago, and the biggest thing I miss is Magisk. Glad to see it’s still going strong, keep kicking ass

I could have really used that “support extracting boot image from payload.bin” back when I had my OnePlus 10T. Having to go to my dental was inconvenient.
