But there is still one domain in which it always manages to excel- and that is custom development. Once you unlock the device’s bootloader and step into this domain, you will be in a position to flash customized ROMs/GSIs, custom recovery, or even gain access to the system partition by rooting your device. Doing so will then allow you to flash a plethora of mods and tweaks. So on that note, let’s get started with the steps to root your OnePlus 10 Pro device via Magisk patched boot.img.
Benefits and Risks of Rooting OnePlus 10 Pro
Once you root your device, you will be in a position to flash a plethora of mods. These include the likes of Fox Magisk Modules, Substratum Themes, Xposed Framework via LSPosed, Viper4Android among others. Along the same lines, you could also flash a custom kernel and implement your desired CPU profile. However, such tweaks do come in with a few risks as well.
To begin with, rooting requires you to unlock the bootloader- which will wipe of all the data and could nullify the warranty as well. Likewise, SafetyNet will be triggered [FIXED] which will result in your inability to use banking apps [FIXED]. So if all that’s well and good, then let’s get started with the steps to root your OnePlus 10 Pro via the Magisk patched boot.img file.
How to Root OnePlus 10 Pro via Magisk Patched Boot
The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow in the exact same sequence as mentioned. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
Next up, you will have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.
So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
STEP 3: Unlock Bootloader on OnePlus 10 Pro
After this, you will have to unlock the bootloader on your OnePlus 10 Pro. Do keep in mind that this process will wipe off all the data and might nullify the device’s warranty as well. So if that’s all well and good, then refer to our comprehensive guide on How to Unlock Bootloader on OnePlus 10 Pro.
STEP 4: Download OnePlus 10 Pro Firmware
Next up, download the stock firmware for your 10 Pro from the OnePlus official website. If it hasn’t been uploaded there yet, then you could also use the direct server links that we have shared below [credits: XDA Recognized Developer steve0007]:

NOTE: I’m currently on ColorOS 12.1 A.08. If you are also on the same build number, then you may directly download the required files from below. As a result, you wouldn’t need to download the entire firmware or extract its payload bin file. So you may easily skip STEP 4 and STEP 5.

STEP 8: Flash Patched Boot, Vendor_Boot, and Stock Vbmeta | Root OnePlus 10 Pro
That’s it. These were the steps to root your OnePlus 10 Pro via Magisk. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments section. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
Before we conclude this guide, there’s an important point worth discussing. There exist two different methods through which you could root your device- either by first booting the magisk patched boot to obtain temporary root and then using the Magisk Direct Install to permanent root OR by directly flashing the magisk patched boot.img. It is always recommended that you opt for the former approach [temporary root].
This is because in case something goes wrong [say, you have used an incorrect boot.img file] and you had done temporary root, then simply restarting your device would replace the patched boot with stock boot and this will fix the bootloop issue within seconds. On the other hand, if you had permanently rooted and something went wrong, then upon restating, it will still have the corrupt patched boot [since you had permanently installed it]. So you will then have to manually flash the stock boot.img or in some cases, the entire payload.bin via Fastboot Commands. Apart from that, temporary root has many other benefits. For example, if you need to test a module for just a one-time usage, then you could temporarily create a rooted environment, try out that mod, and then restart your device to remove the root! Owing to all these benefits, we used the temporary boot method to root your OnePlus 10 Pro via Magisk.
