How do I root my new Max 2? - Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hi,
i just received my new Mi Max 2. (no sim lock)
Model number: MI MAX 2
Android Version: 7.1.1. NMF26F
Android security patch level 2017-07-01
Miui version miui global 8.5 Stable 8.5.6.0 (NDDMIED)
Baseband version 2.3.c1-00100.1-0719_1408_09d91c6

How do I root it?
How high is the risk to brick it?
Is a brick reversible?

First, you need to unlock your bootloader. After unlocking the bootloader you need to flash custom recovery or TWRP in this case. After, from TWRP you can flash SuperSu.zip (root) on your phone and then your device is rooted.

Dont attenpt anythig with unlocking bootloader, then install TWRP and flash magisk or SU. There is also the app from stupdroid.com

PRA-LX1 Root with official Oreo 8.0.0?

Hey there,
Finally my Phone gave me a notification for downloading Oreo 8.0.0 and I was wondering if it works the easy way to root it?
My Phone is running on EMUI 5 Android 7.0 build B212 with TWRP and Magisk 16.0 Root.
I Thought about this way to get the Official Oreo Rom rooted :
- Get back to Stock Recovery
- Update to Oreo 8.0.0
- unlock bootloader again if it Relocks
- flash TWRP for Oreo
- flash Magisk via TWRP to gain root on Oreo
Do you guys think that this will work?
Thanks for any suggestion
Hi,
Yeah it should be fine with those steps.
And if you encounter any weird behavior, perform a factory reset using original Recovery.

Question OTA Updates with bootloader unlocked

Hello,
as the titel mentiones, does the phone get OTA updates, stock Rom on it, if the bootloader is unlocked?
It does yes
Thank you
I will receive my Mi 11 (Cloud White) 8/256 next week, come from a OnePlus 8T (DL Unlocked & Magisk)
On OnePlus when an OTA was installed, for keep Magisk, after OTA installed and BEFORE restart phone, we reinstall Magisk with the Install > install in inactive slot/space (special after OTA) because Oneplus 8T use A/B partitions.
My question is simple, it's the same thing on the Mi 11 ? Useful for update officialy without lose Root or without need to reflash the patch boot/magisk

Question Xiaomi 11T Pro - Upgrading from Android 12 to Android 13 through Fastboot

Hello everyone,
I have a Xiaomi 11T Pro (Model number - 2107113SG, 8GB ram, 256GB rom, Snapdragon 888 ; european model).
Currently, the phone is running MIUI 13 (Android 12, 13.0.21.0.SKDEUXM with no updates available), but i want to flash MIUI 14 (Android 13, 14.0.5.0.TKDEUXM - already tried to use recovery ROM method but i got an error: can't verify update - can't install this stable ROM - i know 13.0.21.0.SKDEUXM has issues).
I understand the process of flashing (Installing ADB Drivers, enabling USB debugging, unlocking bootloader, booting phone to fastboot mode and then flashing firmware with either MiFlashtool or .bat script).
All of the data on the phone is backupped (i don't mind any data loss)
But i happen to have two big questions.
1: Will I be able to re-lock the bootloader after I flash the firmware? Firmware is official and it is also EEA version.
2: Will I be able to recieve OTA updates after I flash the firmware? Or the phone will recognise that I flashed the firmware and OTA updates will be blocked?
Thanks in advance.
You can flash any stock rom and version and re lock the bootloader on this device.
And the OTA will work.
