hello @kalijana, 

you can root tinker board 3n with magisk:

1. to download the latest android tinker os for tinker 3n: Tinker Board (asus.com) //alternatively, you can compile android os with sources too

2. to download the latest version of magisk apk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk  

3. copy the boot image to tinker 3n with command:

adb push boot.img /storage/emulated/0/Download/

4. install magisk.apk with command:

adb install Magisk.apk

5. [magisk] launch magisk,  and hit 'install' on the right of magisk (detailed instructions on magisk can be found on topjohnwu's github: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html )

6. [magisk] click 'select and patch a file', and select the boot.img file

7. [magisk]  the magisk app will patch the boot.img file to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img 

8. [magisk][host machine] pull the magisk img file ( naming would be something like: magisk_patched_[random_strings].img to your host pc/ machine, with command"

adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img

9. flash tinker 3n with boot image patched by magisk in fastboot mode, with commands: 

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
fastboot reboot
