Patched stock MI recovery - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

I found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/root-k20-indian-rom-v10-3-6-0-twrp-t3958566 regarding rooting the phone by using a patched stock MI recovery, to include Magisk in it, then flashing it into the phone so we have a rooted ROM without installing TWRP.
This guide is for Mi9. Is it applicable to mi9t pro too?
Also I wanna ask how we can relock the bootloader, assuming we are in the stock ROM the phone came with.

First of all it's not a patched Mi Recovery.
This method works with Mi 9T Pro and almost all phones. What you do is just patching the boot.img and flash it. So you don't need to flash TWRP and you are rooted.
IF YOU DO THIS, NEVER LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!
To be stock means no patches, just nothing! Fully stock!
To lock your bootloader use MiFlash.

Thanks for the response.
I assume that, if i flash the patched boot file, I must reflash the untouched boot file in order to relock the bootloader?
I just wanna be very carefull with my new phone ...

Yes.

Hello again
All went well.
I unlocked my bootloader
I patched and flashed the boot file
I rooted my phone (eea 10.3.3.0) without TWRP
What happens now with the official OTA updates?
Will my phone be updated normally?
If it will be updated, my root will be gone?

Yes if you update the root will be gone, you'll have to patch the new version's boot image.

Can anyone confirm this? There's a new OTA update available for mi max 2 but I'm not updating coz I'm waiting for 72 hours to complete so I can unlock bootloader. I'm kinda worried that if I update my device to miui 9.2 I might have problem unlocking my bootloader. So I'm thinking to unlock my bootloader first & then update my device thru OTA update.
I've got them but don't launch the upgrade because, if I do that, it remove my twrp by re-flashing xioami stock recovery.
I've got a global beta rom, bootloader unlocked, twrp installed and rom rooted.

oh wow, so even with all that ota updates are possible, good to know
flashing twrp isnt a big deal though, just boot into fastboot, connect to pc and input a command, thats it not like u need hours of work to get it done
would be interesting to know if the rom gets unrooted on update.

I received a phone with an unlocked bootloader. It just received V9.0.3.0.NDDMIEI
I don't know if it's just the China model reflashed with the English ROM or what, but it's definitely got an unlocked bootloader and I'm not sure why.

Am I correct in thinking that the update would have reflashed the recovery area and eliminated anything that didn't belong? I put TWRP on it and I'm going to load a stock ROM through TWRP.
I'm wondering whether I've gotten ahead of myself and I should have gone Stock ROM-->TWRP-->Stock ROM with root.
I'm also not sure if the rooted stock ROM will allow me to enable LTE bands just by changing NVRAM settings in QPST. Does anyone know if the bands are blocked in MIUI as well?
I run unlocked boot loader, global stable and Magisk.
Every OTA, I gotta reflash TWRP, and reinstall Magisk, but yeah, I can OTA.

How do you install OTA? from the updater app in the device OR full Rom in twrp?
I just use the updater app, it reboots, and then proceeds to flash and remove TWRP and Magisk.
The only time that I've used TWRP is to flash Magisk.
Just I want. I only need TWRP to flash Magisk to enable use of Titanium Backup Pro and any adsblocker.
So Flashing TWRP via fastboot, then using TWRP flash Magisk. Use mobile as usually and when i update via OTA, reflash TWRP and Magisk, true?
EDIT: After flashing Magisk, flash stock recovery via fastboot so mobile is ready to OTA update. Right?

Yeah, just choose to download the full rom press reboot and it'll upgrade, then flash TWRP and Magisk again.

so you are saying ota update through updater app is not working?
do i need mi app on pc to update,that too after downloading the full rom for every update?
status: bl UNLOCKED ,root-NO
I dont think so, if you allow replacement of twrp by stock recovery after magisk flashing i think it should be possible install ota using update app. When its done, then reflash twrp and magisk from it.

Mi 9t pro stucked in mi recovery

Last week i updated my mi 9t pro to miui 11 EU by OTA. This morning i was trying to boot it but he go in mi recovery. How con i solve this problem without losing my data? The bootloader is locked. Sorry for my bad english.
Try a fastboot firmware. There may be bat file included to preserve data. If not, at least you can get your device working with a locked bl.

Can I flash Magisk on stock ROM?

I have bought a Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite after using Xiaomi Mi A1. I used stock ROM and never had TWRP installed on my old device. I only used Magisk for root. And I restored boot images every time I needed to perform a system update, and then booted TWRP via Fastboot and re-flashed Magisk.
I would like to do the same with my new Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite. Is that possible? Can I just boot TWRP via Fastboot and flash Magisk while continuing to use stock ROM?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

i tried also with stock but gives me same error after 480 seconds of flashing
Are you sure you have the all the drivers installed correctly?
Can you go to fastboot? Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, try flashing twrp again, and from that a rom

Help with Magisk

I have the global model of the 9t Pro and I'm currently on the Evolution X rom and is using Twrp version 3.4.0-1. I'm been trying to flash the latest Magisk, but everytime I do it in Twrp, I get stuck in a boot loop. Was wondering if anyone had a fix?
Are you on Android 10 or 11? In A11 you will get stuck in a bootloop. If u really want magisk u can install magisk Canary but safetynet will fail.
Otherwise in A10 u simply flash v20.4 and voila
Yeah, it's was Android 11. Thanks for the info.
