Magisk – the popular, powerful and ever-improving root tool is now getting a new update. The latest Magisk 18.1 and its Manager 7.0 are here bringing substantial improvements and new capabilities.

Considering that Huawei doesn’t allow its devices to be bootloader unlocked, the achievement is remarkable. Huawei users can now safely install Magisk. However, there is a catch. Since Huawei has changed the partitions, special workarounds need to be done. The additional workarounds are neatly explained by the dev.
Other improvements include support for the good old Android version Jelly Bean (4.2), reduced memory usage and so on. The dev has also incorporated certain fixes for the glitches that were the part of the previous release.
