Root and Play Integrity

::: If your build comes pre-rooted with KernelSU, you can skip Magisk instructions. Check it on your build’s page :::

Tested target: Evolution X 12.2 on tank. Methods change per build — trust maintainer notes over generic guides.

Get boot.img (3 ways)

Use the image matching your exact installed build. Never patch a boot.img from a different build.

1. Download from Drive (easiest): use the boot.img mirror linked on the Evolution X page — only valid for the 2026-09-11 build.

2. Extract from ROM zip on laptop: Evolution X zips use payload.bin (not a plain boot.img). Extract it with ssut/payload-dumper-go:

payload-dumper-go -p boot /path/to/build.zip
# output lands in ./extracted_YYYYMMDD_hhmmss/

3. Dump from phone in TWRP: boot to TWRP, then on the laptop run (replace a with your slot — check fastboot getvar current-slot):

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img

Install Magisk APK from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Get boot.img above
Copy image to phone, open Magisk > Install > Select and Patch a File > pick image > Start
Copy magisk_patched-*.img back to PC
Flash:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot

Never flash a patched image from a different build / version.

An unlocked bootloader trips Play Integrity. Two working paths on tank:

ROMs such as EvoX and Infinity X ship PIF + TrickyStore, no extra modules needed:

Settings > Evolver > Miscellaneous > Spoofing > enable PIF
Tap Fetch Pixel canary fingerprint — device selector opens, pick any device. Prefer older models (last longer); latest Pixels expire fast.
Back in Spoofing > enable TrickyStore
Tap Fetch official Keybox. Done — Strong passes.

Magisk:

Install Zygisk Assistant module
Magisk settings: DO NOT enable Enforce DenyList
Hide the Magisk app (Magisk > Settings > Hide the Magisk app) if an app still detects it

KernelSU:

Install ReZygisk and HMA-OSS
In HMA-OSS > Manage apps > (Your banking app), Enable hide.
In the same page, open Template config > Using 0 presets, and check “Root managers/Rooted apps” and “LSPosed/Xposed modules”
Repeat the same steps for whatsapp if the app is nagging you

No setup passes forever — Google patches fingerprints. If banking is critical, expect to re-fetch fingerprints / update modules.
