[TUT][HOW-TO] How to root Xiaomi Redmi2 and install CWM

ARE YOU SEARCHING TO ROOT YOUR REDMI 2 ?​
DISCLAIMER:​DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOUR DEVICE.​PLEASE DONOT MIRROR THE LINKS​
CLICK HERE FOR NATIVE ROOT​
IF YOU ARE GETTING STOCK RECOVERY EVEN AFTER FLASHIN CWM, SEE THIS POST​
STEP 1- FLASHING CWM ON YOUR PHONE
1.At first, you'll need the "adb" and "fastboot" tools. Get them HERE
2.Extract them into a folder, let's name it "Redmi2" (You can give your own name to the folder. That doesn't matter here.)
3.Now get the CWM .img file from HERE
You can use Philz Touch recovery also. Get HERE
4.Rename cwm.img or philz.img you downloaded above and as "recovery.img" and place it in the Redmi2 folder.
Now the folder will look like this-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.Press and hold "shift" button and right click in the blank area of the folder and click on "open command promt window here". The command prompt will open.
6.Now turn off your Redmi2. Wait until it vibrates. After it's vibrated press and hold "Volume down and Power" keys together until it boots into "fastboot mode". Now connect the Redmi2 to your PC/Laptop through USB cable in fastboot mode itself.
7.Get to the command prompt now.
Now type: " fastboot devices " (without these- " " )
Like this-
8.Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command
9.Now enter the next command: " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "
Like this-
10. Now this ends...
Type the last command: " fastboot reboot "
Like this-
11.Now your phone will reboot with ClockWorkMod(CWM) installed. CHEERS...
STEP 2- ROOTING YOUR PHONE
1. Firstly get the SuperSU.zip from HERE
2. Now copy the downloaded zip to your sdcard (not in any folder just in sdcard)
3. Boot into CWM recovery by turning off the phone and pressing "Volume UP and Power" button together after the phone vibrates.
4. Once CWM main menu is displayed, select "Install from zip" and browse to the zip that you downloaded earlier and select it.
5. Install the zip. If you get any warning, ignore and proceed.
6. After the installation is complete, reboot your device. (I think you can do that)
7. VOILA..!!! YOU ROOTED YOUR REDMI2

Ok my fault, It looks I miss the notification MIUI that ask me to allow my pc to dev mode...
Now I have another issue:
After I flash the recovery with flashboot I reboot into recovery but I still have the default one ... not CWM any idea what could be wrong ?
( I have already did this procedure on another phone, same issue but after doing it a couple of time something make the difference )

get "Flashify" app from playstore and first take backup of stock recovery and then flash the cwm with it. Thats it..
Actually I didn't knew this method before i made this guide..
Anyway, fastboot gives us a different feel, doesn't it? :v

wait I don't know flashify but it looks it needs root to flash the recovery ... but I think I need cwm to root ... so I think this is not gonna work ...
Ok got it, this may be useful to anybody face the issue with recovery:
I discovered you can workaround the issue in this way:
Temporary boot into CWM:
HTML:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Root the device using CWM
Flash CWM using flashify
[ CWM when you log out ask you for root so maybe it is not necessary to use the zip file ( but I'm not very expert so maybe I'm wrong)]
You can install GAPPS with CWM `gapps-kk-20140606-signed .zip` but be careful, whenever you update MIUI you will look all software installed using CWM. ( superSu and GAPPS for example )

thanks
thanks!

Okay bro :good:
I'll update the OP

I confirm #postadelmaga the CWM recovery does not stay, the only way to do access it is the fastboot boot recovery.img Here's how I succeeded with two phones now.
power on, start wifi, do Miui updates
install ADB or the files above on PC
reboot to fastboot with voldown+pwr
now comes fastboot boot recovery.img
in CWM, sideload SuperSu and Gapps
connect you preferred VPN (if in China)
install and update all Google apps needed
delete most Chinese apps

hey i m unable to flash recovery plzz help

Hi buddy could you plz port touchwiz from galaxy prime?

The simpler solution is to use the xiaomi update tool and flash a developer rom that has builtin root.
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-4-10.27429/
howto & root from permissions menu:
https://watchpage.wordpress.com/201...redmi-note-4g-developers-roms-version-miui-6/
But to have the cwm running on the phone is always a safe bet for some recovery actions.

not working.
I tried this method. its stuck with flashing the recovery image. always showing flashing the recovery image.... that's all.

[Unlock Bootloader + TWRP + ROOT + CUSTOM ROM] Working on Xiaomi Mi 10T/Pro

[CONFIRMED] ( WORKING ON XIAOMI MI 10T/PRO )​
|-Full tutorial for everything-|​
/**
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
**/
---Unlocking bootloader---​
This is one of the easiest parts of this tutorial.
​-Please keep in mind that this process will reset your device-
You will need:​
Xiaomi Mi 10T/PRO device​
USB cable​
Computer​
MiFlash tool (official by Xiaomi for unlocking bootloader) [LINK]​
168 hours already spent on your Xiaomi device (It is a security feature that you cannot bypass)​
USB drivers for your device [LINK]​
Created Xiaomi Account (Used to log in to the MiFlash tool --> so you could unlock your specific device that has the same account on it) [LINK]​
ADB, Fastboot tools on Windows [LINK]​
-And that should everything needed for unlocking your bootloader-​​Process:​
Open Settings --> About Phone --> TAP on your MIUI version till you see (You are now a developer)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to Additional Settings --> Developer Options --> OEM Unlock + Mi Unlock Status + USB Debugging
Go to Mi Unlock Status --> Add your Account (If you have not already) and device (Do what you see on the screen)
Enable USB Debugging + Change Default USB Configuration (saves us some time)
Plug your Xiaomi Mi 10T/Pro into the computer and choose on your mobile File Transfer. If anytime it asks you to prompt USB debugging from your computer --> Allow it and set it always to allow this computer.
You will now run Command prompt as ADMIN. Go to your ADB, Fastboot tools path with $ cd C:\YOUR\PATH\TO\PLATFORM\TOOLS (now your adb and fastboot commands will work)
Check if your device is connected to the computer --> $ adb devices Now go to fastboot $ adb reboot bootloader
Open the MiFlash tool and log in to your Xiaomi Account --> Hit refresh and you should see your Xiaomi Mi 10T/Pro device (It will have a different name in the program --> fastboot name) Now hit UNLOCK, and that is all, your device is now Unlocked.
OPTIONAL: If your device has not appeared in the MiFlash tool, open up Driver Booster and check for Drivers, update any MISSING DRIVERS and try again (The program works 100%, but sometimes it does not show the device because of NONE USB drivers in Fastboot mode or BAD USB drivers --> if you fix this you can easily Unlock it like in step 7.)
Now your DEVICE will reset and show you a little icon of an unlocked lock on the top of the screen, which means your bootloader is unlocked.
DONE
---Flashing TWRP and ROOT---​
You will need:​
Xiaomi Mi 10T/PRO device
USB cable
Computer
TWRP image (should be renamed to recovery.img) [LINK]
Vbmeta - This is used to flash to vbmeta, so No-verity-opt-encrypt could work (the file is inside vbmeta.zip called vbmeta.img) [LINK]
No-verity-opt-encrypt - this is used so we could decrypt our phone storage (in short --> so we could WIPE everything --> very useful when flashing custom ROMS) [LINK]
MAGISK for ROOT (rename .apk to .zip) [LINK] (could be outdated in the future, search for Magisk GitHub and download the latest .apk version)
Process:​
Plug your Xiaomi Mi 10T/Pro into the computer and choose on your mobile File Transfer. If anytime it asks you to prompt USB debugging from your computer --> Allow it and set it always to allow this computer.
You will now run Command prompt as ADMIN. Go to your ADB, Fastboot tools path with $ cd C:\YOUR\PATH\TO\PLATFORM\TOOLS (now your adb and fastboot commands will work)
Check if your device is connected to the computer --> $ adb devices Now go to fastboot $ adb reboot bootloader
Your downloaded files should be in your ADB, Fastboot folder so you can flash them (TWRP, vbmeta)
Now type $ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that is done, we will go to the recovery. Type $ fastboot boot recovery.img this will boot us into the recovery.
Now you should be in TWRP recovery.
Now we can flash MAGISK. Firstly we need to send it to our mobile phone. $ adb push Magisk.zip /sdcard (name of the magisk will be different)
Go to the Install section on your phone and select Magisk --> now, swipe. Now you should have Magisk successfully flashed into your device.
Exit from recovery to system. --> Reboot section --> choose System (on the top)
If everything goes right, you can now run MAGISK apk, and it will ask you for additional things, etc.; etc., click OK, and your phone will reboot after 5 seconds. Congratulations, you have successfully installed TWRP recovery, and you have ROOT too.
Now let's go back to fastboot mode. This time we will use MAGISK. On the top right side should be a "reload button," click it and select REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER.
On your computer, now flash vbmeta with this command. $ fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img.
Next type $ fastboot boot recovery.img to go back to recovery, we need to flash now the no-verity-opt-encrypt. When you are there, push that file to your mobile like this. $ adb push Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip /sdcard (name of the file could be different). Once that is done, go to the install section, click on the no-verity-opt-encrypt, and swipe to flash it.
Now you can reboot to System and download the Official TWRP app [LINK] (might be outdated, search for TWRP Official app apkmirror, and download the latest version)
This app is handy for flashing other versions of TWRP without the need for a computer. GUIDE: Open the app --> TWRP Flash --> It will ask you to prompt SuperUser rights, click allow. --> You will see two buttons (Select a device and Select a file to flash) --> The Select Device option is left empty (No device selected) and now click on the Select a file to flash and choose your .img file of TWRP. Now you tap, FLASH TO RECOVERY, and you are done.
DONE
---Flashing custom ROMS---​You will need:​
Xiaomi Mi 10T/PRO device
USB cable
Computer
Your custom ROM .zip file
Everything else mentioned in this tutorial (TWRP, MAGISK, etc...)
Process:​
Go to the recovery using Magisk or whatever you like.
This time, we will go to the WIPE section. Do a regular SWIPE --> then FORMAT DATA (type YES) --> then Advanced WIPE (select everything EXCEPT for USB OTG)
Now, if you did everything right, there should not be many errors (It should always show SUCCESSFUL on the top of the screen when operating)
Now we can push our custom ROM .zip file to our Xiaomi Mi 10T/Pro device. The command should look like this $ adb push Evolution_X.zip /sdcard (the name of the custom ROM can be different)
Go to the Install section, select your custom ROM and install it. Now, pray that nothing goes wrong. I have done it right with THIS EXACT TUTORIAL (made by my friend and me). If anything bad happens, ask me for help if you need it. Reboot to the System and ENJOY your new ROM.
DONE
I hope that this helped you. I had to find pretty much all of this on my own. Enjoy.
There are more Custom ROMS for Xiaomi Mi 10T/Pro:
(not on xda, but a Telegram group)
Project 404
CrDroid
Fluid
ArrowOS [FIRMWARE]
Pixel Experience
Evolution X
NusantaraProject
ShapeShiftOS - I don't recommend it
Xiaomi.eu BETA 12.5
TELEGRAM GROUPS:

That is not correct. Those two are the ones you will find ond XDA but on Telegram there is more roms.
Lineage has not been updated since December but there is a unofficial 18.1 made by someone on Telegram, seems it is for testing only and not released yet.
There is these roms besides Evo X and Lineage:
Project 404
HentaiOS
CrDroid
Fluid
AncientOS
Pixel Experience - To be released soon.
There is more roms but they are not updated and is not worth mentioning here.

Hello. Could you give me more information? What do you want to install? Because if you've flashed dm-verity it's already installed. If it worked, you can try rebooting to recovery (if you have System still) and it will ask you for your password from your phone. It's used for decryption of your Internal Storage.

Is there a way to fix Fastboot driver either with or without an "actual" tool? I detest that Crapbooster or any adware in paticular. Which exact driver(s) are missing?

Google legacy drivers. You need something like that. Install them and then repair them with DriverBooster. This worked for me. I haven't found any official drivers. If you find something new or better, please let me know.

Fixed it. Uninstall existing driver then reinstall it using bootloader unlock tool.
Thanks for making a detailed guide.

MOD EDIT: QUOTE REMOVED
BTW you should add to your guide that with latest (unofficial) TWRP MTP works, so adb sideloading won't be the only way to transfer files anymore. Or perhaps it works because I did a full driver reinstall, not sure on this one. Just tested.

Wait. MTP works? I tried a few days ago and still no MTP support. So I gave it the adb push. I thought that more convenient.

What's not working?

Installation Process:
-You need ADB and Fastboot
1. Sideload rom.zip from recovery
2. restart to system (no need of factory reset)
Flashing for 1st time
In some cases slot b can be unpopulated or contain much older firmware than slot a, leading to various issues including a potential hard-brick. We can ensure none of that will happen by copying the contents of slot a to slot b. This step is NOT optional. To do this, sideload the copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip package by doing the following:
-Download the copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip file.
-Sideload the copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip package:
On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload.
On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb sideload copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip
Now reboot to recovery by tapping “Advanced”, then “Reboot to recovery”.
1. Download recovery provided here
2. Reboot to bootloader and flash recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash --slot=all recovery recovery.img
If you are not in recovery, reboot into recovery:
With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power.
Or
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
3. Now tap Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage, as well as format your cache partition (if you have one).
Return to the main menu.
4. Sideload the PixelExperience .zip package:
On the device, select “Apply Update”, then “Apply from ADB” to begin sideload.
On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb sideload filename.zip.

Sorry a couple of questions, does this ROM have OOS camera (if not is there any way to add it ?) and is Google Photos Unlimited activated ??
aparently "https://github.com/Evolution-X/fram.../internal/util/evolution/PixelPropsUtils.java" is needed to get Unlimited working ( I honestly dont know anything about how to impliment it :-( )

Google Photos is Unlimited yes, because Google Photos is mask to Pixel XL. No OOS camera because i wanted to stay close to the Oneplus 8T official release and it is a pain in the ass to port it.

Hey @jef_00 I don't seem to find the option "Apply Update" on device. How do I get it to work? Or should I simply sideload using ADB command and that should suffice?

Hi,
Connect phone to original wall charger and wait for it to BUZZ (5 to 10 minutes). Then proceed to pritish1998 unbricking method.
Also installing TWRP via this method should be tried with rui2.
Hope it helps

I clearly sad in instruction that firmware is from OOS12 C.36
Thanks for try and happy flashing

It was to test, i was on 13
Flash using the good old method of fastboot rom installer.
NikGapps-core-arm64-13 and Magisk via adb,
everything works perfectly.

thanks, I'll compare it with pixel experience, although I'm undecided on which PE to download...

Happy Holidays all!
Is the rom working with TWRP as recovery, can anyone confirm?
Also, can I upgrade from 19 to 20 without data loss?
Screenshots of rom would be nice, if anyone can upload some that be great!

Happy holydays!
Here some screenshot.
I will test upgrade from LineageOs19 to 20, but I think you will loose data.

the rom is impressively stable, everything works perfectly,

Can you describe how you done that mate??Flash via FASTBOOT??Thanks and cheers.

hello,
I use fastboot_installer
you unzip the rom in "payload_input".
you run payload_dumper
when it's finished you go to payload_output, you copy the content of the folder to fastboot_installer.
you start the 8T in recovery,
factory reset (you lose your data)
advanced , enter fastboot
in the fastboot_installer folder you run ROMinstaller
if you want to install gapps you go through Apply update in recovery
Idem for Magisk, the zip in Apply update it will be necessary for you to install the apk of Magisk once the telephone restarted
Which firmware are you on? If 12 no worries, if not reflash the 12.
Merry Christmas XDA

Im on 13 damn..Thank for the head up mate..

First check ddr type of kebab is it DDr4 or DDr5 with this method:
1: Boot into recovery
2: Go to "Advanced" and press "Enable ADB"
3: Connect phone to PC
4: Run "adb shell getprop ro.boot.ddr_type"
A value of "0" means you have DDR4. A value of "1" means you have DDR5.
If this returns blank, continue to Step 5.
5: If that didn't work, try "adb shell cat /proc/devinfo/ddr_type"
Output should say "Device version: DDR4" or "Device version: DDR5"
Then install androd12C-36 firmware.
If you install firmware for a wrong ddr type then you will brick your device for good!!!
And after that install Lineageos.
Or wait next build will be on OOs13-F13 firmware.

many thanks for your response. I'd rather wait for the next build then.

Update from Lineage19.1 to this rom is without data lost and everything works just fine.
I'm on new build with OSs13 firmware, if test go well I will release.
Happy holiday
