Its not that it is not rooted its that neutron was never flashed
Iâll explain whatâs going on here
I made a filter for my device using a super file thatâs here on the forum
Netron IMG makes it rooted even you though you donât update magisk and canât grant su permission.

Ya u still need root to install apps.
How do I root?
Did that super claim that it allows app installation?
no.
So then youâre only way to have it is by adding it to the ROM.
Fastboot flash boot thenameofit.IMG
i donât have the rooted boot for kefs can someone share it?
root?
Yes that is it. flash the one for kefs using the command above
You can do that as well I just thought you donât want apk installation allowed.
I believe the second one.
I think the second too. What is the first one? What is no avb?
Neutron is not rooted the device it is a rooted boot image and the main part is that he changed something in the boot to allow app installation
a rooted boot image will not give you app installation only will give you root if you have magisk installed correctly but you could still install apps without magisk

To be honest I am not sure but I think I asked him in the issue section what the difference is.

Here is what ai said
Yes, you can still consider your device as ârootedâ even if you only flashed a root-enabling image without installing an actual management tool like Magisk. The term ârootedâ refers to the state where administrative or superuser permissions are granted on the Android operating system, which allows you to perform various modifications and gain full control over the system.
Flashing a rooted boot image will typically involve changing the kernel of your device to include root access, but it wonât provide an interface for managing those roots. Without Magisk or another management tool, you still have root access but lack the ability to manage packages, modules, and other advanced features that are commonly associated with a fully set-up rooted environment.
Hereâs what happens when you flash a root-enabling image:
- Kernel Changes: The kernel is altered to provide root permissions.
- No Management Interface: Without Magisk or a similar tool, thereâs no easy way to manage modules and other advanced features that are usually handled by these tools.
If you want the full functionality of managing your rooted device (such as using custom ROMs, installing apps with Superuser permissions, etc.), itâs recommended to install an appropriate management tool like Magisk.
But root is not giving you app installation
