Its Shark Fin Raising camera was something that wasn’t previously heard of, however, the OEM decided to take a risk with such a camera module and it paid off. Well, that’s not it. Taking it a step further, it all launched its upper variant that took the zoom capabilities to the next level. All in all, both these devices managed to checkmark most of the prerequisites, not only for the general users but for the tech enthusiasts as well. There is a plentitude of mods tweaks and customizations that you could try out onto your device. Along the same lines, you could also gain administrative privileges by rooting the device via Magisk. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started with the guide to root the Oppo Reno and its 10X Zoom variant via Magisk.
How to Root Oppo Reno/Reno 10X Zoom via Magisk
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.
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.
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
Next up, you will also 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 Version 7 times > Go back to Settings > Additonal Settings > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
Unlock Bootloader Oppo Reno/Reno 10X Zoom
You will also have to unlock your device’s bootloader. Do keep in mind that doing so will wipe off all the data from your device and could nullify its warranty as well. So if that’s well and good, then please refer to our Bootloader Unlocking Guide. The next two steps require you to download the stock firmware and then extract the resultant payload.bin file to get the stock boot.img. I have already done so for the Oppo Reno device with firmware version CPH1917EX_11_C.39. So if you are also on the same firmware version, then you may skip the next two steps and directly get the stock boot.img from here:

Extract Oppo Reno/Reno 10X Zoom Payload.bin
The firmware that you have downloaded will be in OZIP format. So we would need to extract it in order to get the partition IMG file, which in this case would be the boot.img file. So refer to our guide to Extract OZIP Realme Stock ROM (Firmware). Once you have extracted the boot.img file, transfer it to your device, and then proceed to the next step to root the Oppo Reno and Reno 10X Zoom via Magisk.

These were the steps to root the Oppo Reno/ Reno 10X Zoom devices via Magisk. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments.
