Discussion
From documents online, Google’s definition of SAR only considers how the kernel boots the device (**Initial rootdir** in the table above), meaning that only devices using **Method B** is *officially* considered an SAR device from Google’s standpoint.
However for Magisk, the real difference lies in what the device ends up using when fully booted (**Final rootdir** in the table above), meaning that **as far as Magisk’s concern, both Method B and C is a form of SAR**, but just implemented differently. Every instance of SAR later mentioned in this document will refer to **Magisk’s definition** unless specifically says otherwise.
The criteria for Method C is a little complicated, in layman’s words: either your device is modern enough to launch with Android 10+, or you are running an Android 10+ custom ROM on a device that was using Method A.
– Any Method A device running Android 10+ will automatically be using Method C
– **Method B devices are stuck with Method B**, with the only exception being Pixel 3 and 3a, which Google retrofitted the device to adapt the new method.
SAR is a very important part of [Project Treble](https://source.android.com/devices/architecture#hidl) as rootdir should be tied to the platform. This is also the reason why Method B and C comes with `(LV >= ver)` criterion as Google has enforced all OEMs to comply with updated requirements every year.
Some History
When Google released the first generation Pixel, it also introduced [A/B (Seamless) System Updates](https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab). Due to [storage size concerns](https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/ab_faqs), there are several differences compared to A-only, the most relevant one being the removal of `recovery` partition and the recovery ramdisk being merged into `boot`.
Let’s go back in time when Google is first designing A/B. If using SAR (only Boot Method B exists at that time), the kernel doesn’t need `initramfs` to boot Android (because rootdir is in `system`). This mean we can be smart and just stuff the recovery ramdisk (containing the minimalist Linux environment) into `boot`, remove `recovery`, and let the kernel pick whichever rootdir to use (ramdisk or `system`) based on information from the bootloader.
As time passed from Android 7.1 to Android 10, Google introduced [Dynamic Partitions](https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/dynamic_partitions/implement). This is bad news for SAR, because the Linux kernel cannot directly understand this new partition format, thus unable to directly mount `system` as rootdir. This is when they came up with Boot Method C: always boot into `initramfs`, and let userspace handle the rest of booting. This includes deciding whether to boot into Android or recovery, or as they officially call: `USES_RECOVERY_AS_BOOT`.
Some modern devices using A/B with 2SI also comes with `recovery_a/_b` partitions. This is officially supported with Google’s standard. These devices will then only use the boot ramdisk to boot into Android as recovery is stored on a separate partition.

What is Android Rooting?
It simply means unlocking the android operating system to grant access to the unauthorized section of the phone. Even though you own the handset, you don't have full authority over the phone. You just log in to the system as a user. But after you root it, you can do whatever you want with your device. Such as installing apps that unapproved, unlock the bootloader and remove unwanted bloatware, installing custom ROMs, and customize it furthermore as you wish.
It's kind of similar to apple jailbreak. And the most amazing part is android rooting can also be led to high performance and longer battery life. Well, now you know about rooting. Then what is the connection between android rooting and the Magisk Manager? Hang on, we are going to talk about it.
What Magisk Manager?
As they say it, it's a mask for android. Does that complicate things for you even more? well, if you are new to android rooting you probably have no idea that there are some struggles that have to be overcome when you have a rooted device. If you have a rooted android phone, you don't get OTA updates! Yeah, that's right. You have to unroot it, then get the update and root again. And some applications won't even allow running in rooted handsets. Especially banking applications.
That's when the Magisk manager apk comes to the rescue. It's a systemless rooting solution. It can cover the rooted system like a mask and you won't have to be bothered to go between rooting and unrooting. It doesn't affect the core code either. You can get OTA updates, use banking applications and do whatever you couldn't do from a rooted mobile phone.
