Cannot root xiaomi mi5 - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Ok ive been trying to root this phone so that I can change the in call speaker volume which is unusable.
I have no problems with recovery but when i flash supersu in twrp it installs ok but it when it reboots it stays on the logo screen. I have tried different supersu for the mi5, including latest, always the same. I am obviously missing something.

If i remember correctly, you can activate the Developers options by clicking 8 times on the MIUI Build version line in the Phone Settings/information page.
After that you can (if memory serves correctly) activate SU in the developer options.
Even with the global version you have.

Xperia Z won't boot up or how should I put this.

Hello,
I've recently installed CMOD 13 Marshmallow on my Xperia Z phone. I've decided that I also need Xposed app for other cool features but it seems that I've had to install some other I don't understand why things via Recovery. I was using TWRP to install CMOD 13 but when I've went back just to install this Xposed Frimware.zip file It wasint TWRP but CyanogenMod Recovery instead. I've tried to find out how to install it with this but no luck obviously... So then I found out that if I disable something I already don't remember what in developer options I can Install TWRP again with no big deal and this Android will stay without changing anything. I did just like that and just like that first time when Installing CMOD 13 it didn't boot up the OS but went to TWRP recovery. Once again I though eh ok who cares then Installed Xposed Frimware for Marshmallow and rebooted the device. Results are that It loaded the Sony logo but then the screen is black (working of course with light on the screen etc. yet it also goes to sleep if not touched for some time.). I don't know why did that happen and I don't know what to do. Anything I can do now? I can't even turn it off by holding the power button.
Regards,
Alex.

do this ^^ although the phone must have run out of battery, then you will have to root and install cm13 all over again
PS: You can flash it through cm recovery by going to '' Apply Update ''

Le2: No recovery with MIUI 8

Hi guys,
I installed MIUI 8 through TWRP, but didn't quiet like it, so I decided to try out other ROM's like Lineage OS, but none of them would install. When I tried to reboot using MIUI which was still installed, I couldn't use the keyboard anymore, so I decided to go back to TWRP and install the SuperUser Version of EUI I have already used for quiet a while. It installed correctly, but when I rebooted my phone, MIUI somehow tried to boot again. I went back to TWRP, installed EUI, but when I rebooted, MIUI tried to boot again. The big issue is that MIUI can't really start up which means that the start screens just keeps rotating, but nothing else happens. Does anybody have an idea how to solve that problem? I never experienced such an issue. Thanks!
I solved it by just trying it multiple times. I didn't really reach my target, but at least my device is usable again.
It is not available

Updated to Xiaomi.eu 10.1.2.0, can't unlock screen.

I was very excited to install this update that released today, but after installing it, I can't sign in to my phone. When it boots up, it flashes the homescreen wallpaper, not the lockscreen wallpaper for a second or two then the screen turns black. If I hold the power button I can view the power settings (reboot, silent, airplane mode, shut down) and also if I double press the power button, which my camera shortcut, it opens the camera. Aside from these actions, I can't do anything.
My method to installing this rom was this:
Download the rom from xiaomi.eu website
use the built in updater where I select a rom on my phone and it automatically boots to recovery for me (I'm using TWRP)
Let it do its thing, and boot up, then when it boots the errors occur.
I tried wiping cache and dalvik, but no change.
Did I miss something? Is there something I should have done differently when updating my phone? Is there a special procedure in upgrading Android versions? (1.1.2.0 is first Android Pie version on my phone)
Thank you very much.
Edit 1: I have flashed a second time, this time flashing cache, dalvik, and data. I was able to get into MIUI and set up my device, but after I rebooted the phone for a separate reason, I am experiencing the same errors as before.
Edit 2: Not 100% sure because I switched ROMs, but I probably could have gotten it working by wiping /system as well.

Hey, by the way, what launcher are you using? This seems to be a problem with just the lock screen so maybe there is a weird interaction happening between the launcher and the lock screen. I was using Rootless Pixel Launcher.
Edit: one more question: did you do the same thing as me where I first flashed without formatting data, then you flashed a second time, that time formatting the data? I'm thinking it could also be just because we flashed it incorrectly the first time, future flashes are gonna be messed up.
Where's the download I can find only 10.1.1.0

Try this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008
You must have a valid custom recovery
Edit : the recovery method won't work... It's a problem with the rom. Just switch to another version....

You can downgrade from Pie to Oreo with EU rom and TWRP, the phone boot up normaly but some processes say stop working.
I had same problem yesterday. I recommend wipe system before reinstalling Oreo rom and waiting a fixed Pie rom

This stable ver has many problems. It's hasnt stable yet. Even when you could turn the screen on, if you use the 3 buttons as default, everything is normal, but if you use fullscreen gestures and reboot your phone, you will stuck in black screen again. Many friends and me have the same black screen problems. So my advice is you should stay where you are waiting for a real "stable" ver.
For all who want to use FSG in version 10.1.2.0 I would recommend the following workaround:
a) Startup freshly installed system
b) Select navigation bar as preferred method and finish setting up the phone
c) Download Magisk v18.0
d) Reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk v18.0 zip
e) Reboot to system
f) Download the free application "Fluid Navigation Gestures" and setup the same Gestures as in Stock mi8
g)Optional: In Fluid NG, choose "Hide Navigation Bar"
It doesn't have the exact same feeling as stock but is pretty close and I think it's valid as a meantime workaround.

Can't reboot my phone - Softbrick

I think I have the weirdest soft brick ever. First of all my device works. I can use every feature with no issues till I reboot.
If my device is rooted and I try to reboot, it stucks on bootloader for about 30 seconds and loops on fastboot. There's no single reboot process gone smooth.
I could earlier fix this issue by flashing system, cache and boot all together from my back up. Now it doesn't work, at least it loops on android booting screen.
My device is MI 9T Pro 128 GB Global.
I flashed Xiaomi.eu 11 latest stable rom via the official TWRP and rooted with magisk.
I tried different TWRP's and OrangeFox to flash Magisk or formatting data but no solutions so far.
First time this happened I also tried to flash 'magisk uninstaller' but it didn't help.
I'm really new to this phone and triggered by this annoying issue. It's been 6 set-ups in 10 days. If anyone can help, that'd be highly appriciated.

How to root the tablet A8 2019 T290

Hello guys, decide to mount this tutorial because I still see a lot of people with doubts, yes we already have how to root our device
I did it on mine and it worked, do it at your own risk, neither I nor anyone else on the forum is responsible for any loss
A tutorials too complex for some users, teaching you how to create your own Magisk modified Img boot, but I like simplicity, so if you don't want to break your head too much, here's a tip, use a successfully modified img boot , what you need is to install the rom stock that was used to create the modified boot first.
let's go to the tutorial, warning that the files posted here are not my own, and if it doesn't work, check if you're not commenting on any flaws, don't try to memorize the tutorial, follow it step by step. come on!:dedos cruzados:
1 - first follow these steps to unlock the bootloader:
This is a basic step to root device. Go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it.
(PS : If you don't see this option then you may need to wait up to 7 days or more to appear or may be on some operator you will get it never. Without this option you can not root your device, sorry!)
Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode,long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
If it is not then you can not root device!
Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device.
Now let's go to the next step, reinstall an outdated system, I did it on mine and it worked, do it at your own risk, neither I nor anyone else on the forum is responsible for any loss
2 - installing the stock ROM that we will use:
download this rom: https://samfrew.com/ru/download/Gal..._Wi-Fi-__/rue3/KOO/T290KSU3BUE1/T290KOO3BUE2/
OBS: a little detail about this firmware, it is made in arm32, which apparently makes it "lighter", but also has a more acidic use of RAM memory. This was the last software I installed on tab A, and I can say that the use has become better with it, but if you want to stay in the stock rom, even custom gsi didn't get such a good performance. It's worth testing, but be aware of the risks, I'm not responsible for errors.
Updating: use a modified version of Odin, to do the installations, be careful with downgrades, I managed, I was in the most current version of March, and I managed anyway using this modified Odin, but do it at your own risk, download the most current version here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
And install via Odin, if you need more details just a Google, there are already millions of tutorials for that lol
when you get here you should already be aware that you have lost all your data, but it is necessary that the OEM option is enabled in the options, so in the CSC session use Home CSC, so that you leave the data saved, and do not lose the initial settings : )
once with successful installation, we will now install the file modified by magisk
3 - magisk Installation:
Intall TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-2-for-2019-galaxy-tab-a-8-0-sm-t290.4185235/
just follow our friend's tutorial, with a little observation, after starting the process in odin, be sure to hold the volume up button + turn on, to be redirected to the TWRP.
follow the standard steps to install magisk, if it doesn't work, you will have to manually modify the system boot.img along with magisk maneger.
if case of problem:
The process of entering recovery on the SM-T290 using buttons is really finicky, unlike the 10.1" version. My best result has been with holding Power + Vol Up on startup, quickly switching to hit Power to dismiss the bootloader unlock warning page, and then immediately holding Power + Vol Up again for 6 seconds. (Holding longer will cause a hard reset.)
If you miss on the first attempt and haven't installed Multidisabler, it will revert your custom recovery to the stock OEM recovery.
I haven't had the tablet in my hands for a few months, so unfortunately I can't help more than that, as I said this was the last system I used, just because GSI are not very functional and are not always light, sometimes they crash more and it has more annoying bugs to fix that discourage daily use. my tip is, stay in stock Koo, excuses for those who can't, the most I can do now is guide them.
As a gift for you, I will teach you how to use Xposed :3
remembering, I did several tests that several times I faced bootlooops but in the end it worked for me, so notice, do it at your own risk.
5 - How to install end use EDexposed with Magisk
these versions were the ones that worked without problems in this rom
Install Riru - (Riru core) V21.0
Install Riru - Edxposed v 0.4.6.1(4510) YAHFA
Reboot, after reboot, install Edxposed Manager
and you can be happy
I thank you all for your help, and remembering that this was just a compilation of tips, to facilitate everyone, take due care to avoid problems, and don't forget to thank: 3 ?
Has anyone attempted this yet?
I am attempting to apply this root and I have run into a minor issue.
The AP Patched file from magisk isn't compressed correctly. Maybe I don't understand, but using 7zip, i can see that all the compressed files inside the AP file are LZ4's, but after patching with magisk, some become .IMG and odin errors our whenever I hit modem.Bin.
Any Ideas?

Hi friend, sorry but there are more current ways of routing, even already working on a TWRP, but now you can do the following, try using the same Firmware in the same version of the bootloader, otherwise there will always be an error, the file compressed this modified to work with Odin, I tested it myself on my T290, but I cannot guarantee its effectiveness if I try to use it in another version, I do not recommend doing this even.
I had trouble unlocking the bootloader until I did this:
After enabling OEM unlocking and turning the device off, plug in the USB cable. Hold both Vol + and Vol - at the same time, then unplug and replug the USB cable. The bootloader unlock screen should come up.
I posted this on twrp thread, but seems no one wants to answer , thought give it a try here?
Anyone know of a fix for the blank screen?
Not sure why they would lock down this tablet but not others?
Whats the point of unblocking the bootloader if you can not do custom roms , root etc?
My firmware is on T290XXU3BUC1
I can successfully installed twrp via Odin.
I reboot, instantly blank screen. I have rebooted into twrp with blank screen.
I was able to install the nexus rom, with adb twrp command line and works but all is blank screen.
I go back to stock and the display is back.
I have tried another twrp on this forum but that gives me security error.
I have also tried to patch ap tar with Magiskt but that flashes but when restart get security error.
Twrp is the only thing that works but complete blank screen with back light.
Tab is unlocked bootloader and oem unlocking on.
does this work if you're on a11?

what are you specifically asking? the TWRP here is very functional, but custom roms are not very stable for this tablet, some GSI behave well, but it's still better to stock debloated

Hi, maybe you can help me.
i rooted my SM-T290 MXO with Android 10 but the system always asked me about a new patch update (May 1 Update) and i dont know how to apply updates so i downladed the firmware update via ODIN, long story short after applying the firmware and updating trough Smart Switch (because now my tablet say that the SO has been modified and now i can´t update trought OTA) and now i have Android 11 with One 3.1 so my questions are:
Can install TWRP like before in his version of Android?
In case i need to downgrade to Android 9, do i need to be the exact carrier (XAR = United States) in the file you put or should i use my carrier (MXO = Mexico) and is the same result?
I hope anyone can help me because i dont know much about rooting and is the second time im dealing with rooting a Samsung Device (My first attempt was a Galaxy 4 and was frustrating that KNOX detected my bad root)
Thanks in Advance.

yes, you can go back to previous versions, but it gets harder when you upgrade bootloader version.
In order not to crash the downgrade, you need to look for the latest Android version you want, from your region you are in now.
An example:
I'm on the latest version ZTO - Brazil - Android 11
to get back to Android 10 I need to download the latest ZTO version with Android 9, of course you can try between different regions, but it will be a little more complicated.
Hello
I was asking, how do i root this thing lol, it has been a nightmare
I can not root with custom magisk patched rom, as get boot error, and i can install Twrp, which works, but i just get a blank screen.
Was wondering if there was a work around?

You mentioned it's on Android 11, didn't you?!
well, I don't have Tab A with me anymore, but the suggestion I give you is to try to go back to Android 10, then install TWRP, and then try to install magisk, I can give you the last firmware I installed,
currently he is with my brother.
The firmware is Koreano, as I said, it is 32bits, and super functional.
Samsung SM-T290/T295 Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) - Прошивки - 4PDA
Samsung SM-T290/T295 Galaxy Tab A 8.0 (2019) - Прошивки
4pda.to
take a look here, search for the firmware I told you about, very good by the way
Hey
I am on T290XXU3BUC1 and i do not understand the language on the link you post
I tried your tutorial , but i am getting
sw rev check fail [aboot] Fused 3 > binary 3
hello, about that, but lately I don't have much time, but I'll update it today if I can, you probably got this error because this firmware is old.on 4pda there is a newer version with root, remembering that currently you can root through twrp, I'm going to port my last attempts here, but I notice that I don't have the tablet in my hands. use translation tools, the site is in Russian
I updated the guide as I could, any doubts I'm still here, but I can only guide, it's no longer possible to test.
Thanks for the update. The only problem is, is that i have the newer tab and when I flash TWRP, i get a blank screen
I need a way to patch the firmware without failing, as i do not think anyone is trying to fix the blank screen bug with TWRP, unless they are on 4pad.to , but no idea due to the language barrier hehe.

have you tried to put the firmware I mentioned? this tutorial probably won't work on android 11 one ui 3.1, i say this because the TWRP is a bit old, so as long as it's on the updated firmware it's really hard to do anything.
if you don't want the specific KOO Firmware, you can get the latest firmware version for your region which is on android 10.
