How to Root GSI Android 11 with Magisk v21

How to Root Android 11 GSI with Magisk. Use latest magisk version v21.x, It works for rooting Android 11 GSI.  We need modify and add some code to the file. I have rooted CAOS GSI using magisk v21.0.  We also need phh-super user to modify the system file. I recommended use mi-explorer apps to modify it.  Use at your own risk, I’m not responsible for bricking your device. If it does not work you can try Root Android 11 GSi without Magisk

Notes / Warning!

1. Use at your own risk, I’m not responsible for bricking your device.
2. Using the incorrect file may brick your device.
3. If your target device has a custom firmware flash counter, Rooting will trigger it. If you’re lucky, Triangle Away has support for your device and can be used to reset the counter.
4. If you have a KNOX-enabled device, flash custom rom and Rooting will trip the KNOX WARRANTY VOID status!
5. If your device storage is encrypted, Rooting will wipe your data !
6. If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device – with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically “OEM unlock” and wipe your data !
7. Make sure to backup your important data before root it.
