Yes ✅—once you have the correct boot.img for your Infinix Smart 8 Pro, you can patch it using Magisk to gain root access. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
---
1️⃣ Install Magisk Manager

Install it on your phone.
Grant any required permissions.
---
2️⃣ Patch the Boot.img
1. Open Magisk Manager → tap Install → choose Select and Patch a File.
2. Navigate to the boot.img you downloaded.
3. Magisk will patch the file and generate patched_boot.img, usually in your Downloads folder.
4. Transfer this patched_boot.img to your computer if you plan to flash via Fastboot.
---
3️⃣ Flash Patched Boot via Fastboot
1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB.
2. Reboot your phone into fastboot mode:

4️⃣ Verify Root Access
Open Magisk Manager → it should show that root is installed.
Optionally, install Root Checker from Google Play Store to confirm root.

I think the only way to fix this root problem is to get a custom ROM but if you don't do it to specs of your device it will brick, then your phone is useless
