Guessing you're asking if there's a custom recovery available for the RN9. Not yet, so far as I know
I've found the stock firmware pretty solid so far - can't see me bothering too root this

May I ask, why do you need to wait 166 hours to unlock bootloader? I this about the apply thingy that you need to do before unlocking Xiaomi devices? Because I have read this article that stated "Before some years ago you need to apply and wait 1-15 days for permission! But, now Xiaomi changes its policy. Now you don't need to apply for unlocking your device.Oct 13, 2018"

I see now. Mine's 168 hours. You just need to add your Mi account first then it will tell you to wait 168 hours on the Mi unlock tool. Thanks Mr. danger2u

tested the unofficialtwrp thing today. And now got me bootlooped. seems like the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip is not working as expected. now im trying to restore the old state.... hope there will be a good way to root this cause i need adaway

Adguard is loads less trouble - fine without root

Thanks darthm0e! Hope you keep updating here on your findings BTW, how can we create a custom recovery? I want to know how to.

Adguard doesn't work for all my needs. and its more or less browser based. Anyway i need root for some other stuff too...so.
2nd try i used the Xiaomi Tool V2 (by Francesco Tescari). It loads also the same TWRP image and i also get stucked in the Bootloop.
on tradingshenzhen they explained more or less the same method then unofficialtwrp.com except they use the XiaomiTool V2
and the TWRP i found there is the same.
whats strange is that i only read about Codename Merlin for the Redmi Note 9, but mine reports hisself as MerlinNFC. maybe this is the thing or are they all equipt with NFC? I will try tomorrrow again.

Redmi note 9 root
How root redmi note 9???? Any body know about redmi note 9 recovery?????? When recovery coming for redmi note 9??????

Hi guys,
New here and I got this phone a few weeks ago. I tried rooting it via Magisk both by flashing the zip on the unofficial TWRP and by patching the boot.img file, but both methods ended up in bootloop.
So I'd like to know if any of you have informations on this : has a consistent way of rooting this phone been found?
(My question may seem stupid since it only came out a month or so ago, but honestly I don't really have an idea how long it usually takes after a device's release for people to find a way to root it)
Thanks for your answers!

This post worked for me as far as rooting goes.
I also managed to verify the SafetyNet test (with magisk spoofing modules + clearing Play Store/Services data), then installed edXposed just fine too.
But, then I installed some module that got me stuck in a bootloop and had to wipe and start over, and I couldn't pass the SafetyNet check anymore for some reason.
So I wiped again and keeping it unrooted for now, I'll wait for custom ROMs.

Could u tell me please how did u install ? I flashed it in magisk but it shows me that it's not installed in the edxposed manager.

@Akitake: That's always nice to see that a particular rooting method of some related Redmi phone works on our Redmi Note 9. :good:
Now, you know for sure that the Redmi Note 9 has a MediaTek G85 processor and Xiaomi devices are notorious for getting very easily bricked. See for example the Custom Rom threads for Redmi Note 8. It is really spooky how some guys end up having their smartphone turn in to a Xiaomi service center - if there is such a center at all in their country. So what's paramount here for us Redmi Note 9 users is that we really, really make sure that we don't arrive at a hopeless situation! That's why I need to ask you some questions to make sure we all are on the same page.
1) What Note 9 do you have? Is it one with NFC or not? Mine, for example, is a M2003J15SG where G denotes the NFC variant.
2) What's the MIUI version you are running? Mine, for example, is 11.0.5.0 (QJOEUXM)
3) You unlocked your phone, right?
4) Did you use any particular tools like a particular fastboot version, for instance?
5) Which version of Magisk did you install?
6) Which version of edXposed did you install?
7) Which Magisk spoofing module did you install? Why that and not another one?
8) What do you mean with "clearing Play Store / services data". Do you mean all Google Play services data?
9) If you arrived at a bootloop, how did you wipe? Did you wipe data/cache/etc? Did you use fastboot or some LR-TWRP or MiFlash? Which version of the tool?
10) Once you reinstalled your original boot.img, did your phone start up normally or were there "hickups"?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but as I said, I want to make a 100% sure that everything goes well.
Thanks for your answers in advance!
Best whishes to you!

1) It's the lower end version, with 64GB internal storage, Redmi Note 9 (merlin)
2) Latest at time of writing, shouldn't matter but yes, 11.0.5.0, we're also going to get MIUI 12 soon-ish as it's already released in China.
3) Yes with miunlock (Official tool)
4) I just always use the ADB and Fastboot versions provided with MiUnlock (same folder, open CMD inside it then you can use adb and fastboot)
5) Latest? 20.4
6) I installed EdExposed manager from XDA Labs and simply installed it that way, so, latest
7) One of them is like Magisk Props something, the other is lib something which seemed to help for DRM content (netflix etc)
8) Once I installed the Magisk modules for spoofing, I restarted, then cleared the Google Play Store & Play Store services data (In Settings>Apps>Manage Data> Clear all Data), restarted again.
9) I didn't bootloop ever. And even if you do, it's to either use fastboot (power + vol down) and flash the official rom back with MiFlash.
10) Nah it was completely normal.

First Things To Do After Getting My Mi Mix?

Just found out that I have a Mi Mix waiting for me when I get home. I've made a checklist of what I want to do to it to get it setup for my use. I wanted to know if anyone had anything to add or has done any of what I'm planning on.
Unlock Bootloader
This should be relatively simple. I already have my unlock permission and will be using the directions from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html
As far as I can tell by reading that thread, I do not need to install the developer ROM first. Is this correct?
I will also follow the top reply to this thread which mentions linking your device to your Mi account before unlocking to prevent errors: https://m.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/5co8t1/mi_unlock_approval/​
Install TWRP
My plan is to follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix/development/recovery-official-twrp-xiaomi-mi-mix-t3498960
This is where I start having questions. I've been out of the rooting and ROMing game for a couple of years. Does anyone recommend rooting with anything other than SuperSU? I'm reading that it was bought by a Chinese company and shouldn't be trusted. I've also read that using Magisk you can have root that is easily turned off. I'll admit I'm pretty lost at the moment when it comes to what Magisk does and how to use it. But if it is the recommended way of doing things I will do the research to learn it.​
Flash The EU ROM
I think my plan is to flash this EU ROM which debloats everything and seems to come with gapps and a lot of other nice optimizations: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-11-10.36056/
My first question is has anyone tried this?
My second question is will I need to reinstall TWRP and re-root? I think I will have to re-TWRP because on the TWRP page there is one version for stock and one for the EU version. I will be on stock first and I can't flash EU until after I flash TWRP. So I think the procedure will have to be:
Flash stock TWRP
Flash EU ROM
Flash EU TWRP
Re-Root?
Turn Off All Battery Optimizations
Don't have a guide for this yet but I'm guessing it's not hard to find. Feel free to reply with one if you have one.​
Personalize
Launchers/Themes/Icon Packs/etc. Don't need suggestions here since I already know what I have in mind.​
Anything else?
The only other thing I can think of that I might want to install is Xposed. I've never used it and don't know how to install it but I'll learn if I can be convinced that it's something I want.
What else am I missing?​
I think right now the biggest thing I'm curious about is if anyone has used the EU ROM and what the procedure is if you use that ROM since there are 2 different versions of TWRP for the Mi Mix. But any other suggestions on what to do with the initial setup or how to make my experience better are welcome. I'd also love to hear about any "gotchas" that aren't mentioned in the guides from people who have actually done it.
Well I took the plunge without waiting for feedback and for anyone who is interested, I'll answer my own questions. Read the posts that I linked in the OP to understand what I'm doing below. I will not cover how to get unlock permission as this has been covered elsewhere.
Unlock Bootloader
As far as I can tell by reading that thread, I do not need to install the developer ROM first. Is this correct?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is not correct. You must install the Dev ROM and connect to WiFi and follow the steps to enable Developer options and login to your Mi account in developer options.​
Install TWRP
Before installing TWRP you must update back to the stable ROM. The non-EU version of TWRP will not work with the Dev ROM as of this posting. You can update to the stable ROM using the same steps as updating to the developer ROM. In the TWRP install guide I linked above, I stopped right after step 6 and continued below.​
Flash the EU ROM
Instead of flashing SuperSU after installing TWRP, I copied over the EU ROM linked above and flashed that. Then I followed the instructions starting from step 3 of this post to flash SuperSU, Magisk, and suhide: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongod...k_v7_systemless_xposed_v866_released/d8d7ziw/
The only change I made is that in between steps 4 and 5, I flashed the EU version of TWRP before continuing because otherwise the touchscreen would not work in TWRP. I used the most recent versions for the SuperSU, Magisk, and suhide and I did not flash Xposed yet but I believe I can do that in the future if I want to.​
That's where I'm at now. The rest of my checklist was mostly personal preference so I won't go into that. Hope this helps.
@chimera533
THX for taking the plunge & sharing your results with us.
I'm sure I'll be doing the same once mine arrives, hope you don't mind if I look this way if I have any questions regarding TWRP/Root/etc.....
Thank you for posting this, this is the exact list of what I will be doing when my Mi Mix comes in the mail (C'mon Ibuygou).
I couldn't seem to find a EU rom for Mi mix though it is listed in the thread as a supported drive. Will you please drop me the link to download? Thank you.

I think I got mine from here: https://megadysk.pl/f/6.11.10
Just scroll down to the Mi Mix one.
There are 3 repositories to the 6.11.10 weekly ROMs at the top of the page here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-11-10.36056/
As far as I know there are no stable EU builds for the Mi Mix probably because it's so new.
Also I believe the weekly updates show up here: https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
The Mi Mix was skipped for 6.11.17 as evidenced by the note at the top of the 6.11.17 thread.
That's about all I know. I highly recommend reading all or most of every link I posted here. I'll confess that if I had, I would've known things like having to flash back to stable before TWRP-ing as well as some other things.
It would be nice if you did an edit of your original post, rather than a 'by the way' post below it. It would be much easier to follow the instructions.
I've installed TWRP on multiple phones. The dm-verity stuff is new to me (A xiaomi/MIUI thing I guess),
so the sequence appears to be:
install Official MIUI China developer ROM
<unlock>
install Official stable rom
install Official (Non-EU) TWRP (requires stable)
copy/install EU ROM after step 6 (aka before exiting TWRP)
< Do you reboot now and go back into fastload now? or stay inside TWRP? >
Install EU TWRP
install supersu (again, before you exit TWRP?)
Install Magisk, suhide?
Apologies but I'm away from home at the moment. I'll update the OP with more detail when I have a bit more time. But I'll give you some quick answers below.
install Official MIUI China developer ROM
Remember to log in to your Mi account in the developer options
<unlock>
install Official stable rom
install Official (Non-EU) TWRP (requires stable)
copy/install EU ROM after step 6 (aka before exiting TWRP)
While still in TWRP, install SuperSU in systemless mode.
Boot to system once
Boot back to fastboot and install EU TWRP
Boot to TWRP and install Magisk, suhide
Boot to system and install magisk manager
Got the Mi Mix 128GB overpriced in Thailand, but without any waiting time.
Love your early thread, very helpful.
I also want to get twrp, suhide, magisk and xposed, but I like to stay on the Chinese Dev or official ROM, not xiaomi.eu, because I like the paid themes which are only available on official ROMs.
I've got a MIUI developer account for 4 years, so I can unlock the device directly, being on stable ROM.
Now the steps are a bit unclear for me. Do I understand them correctly?
1. Unlock bootloader
Download and install the developer rom: http://en.miui.com/download-317.html
Create/Login with your MI Account on the device.
Apply for unlocking the bootloader here: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Install stable ROM if desired
2. Install official TWRP (NON-EU)
Boot into fastboot mode by turning off your device then pressing volume up and power button
Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot on your PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Download the correct TWRP image file: https://dl.twrp.me/lithium/twrp-3.0.2-0-lithium.img.html
Copy the twrp file to where minimal adb and fastboot has been installed and rename the twrp file to twrp.img
Open fastboot on your computer and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
3. Install SuperSU in systemless mode
Download newest SuperSU: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu / http://download.chainfire.eu/1013/SuperSU/SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928.zip
In ADB shell or TWRP shell, type
Code:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true > /data/.supersu
if you don't already have this file to configure SuperSU to install in systemless mode.
Flash SuperSU.
4. Boot to system
5. Boot into TWRP, install Magisk, suhide, Xposed
suhide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396
systemless xposed 86.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3897543&d=1475913773
magisk: http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
6. Boot to system and install Magistk Manager
magisk manager: http://tiny.cc/latestmanager
7. Install XPosed

Thank you so much for your help. I installed the ROM and have had it running for 2 days now. Coming from a HTC 10 (custom ROMed and everything), I;m really not digging MIUI on this phone. Lags so much it's literally driving me crazy. My 2 yrs old LG G2, which also has amazing screen-to-body ratio btw, runs circle around this phone. Really disappointed about this phone due to the software performance issues.

I don't experience any lags on the original ROM.
From my experience those micro-lags and performance issuese showed up on various devices in my Android past whenever something was wrong with the ROM. A clean flash mostly helped solve the problem.
I'm currently on the original Chinese stable with SuperSu and TWRP. It's blazing fast. What's the reason to flash the xiaomi.eu rom?

I had a nightmare trying to get to the EU Rom yesterday, I was mostly successful, however after a reboot i'd lose Touch in both TWRP and System. Thanks to this post from Chimera533 I was finally able to do it!
Anyway the main reason for the EU ROM is to get rid of all the Bloat and Chinese throughout the ROM that you cannot get rid of. It also has Google Services baked in properly so everything works correctly.
I also had a few other little niggles while on the Chinese ROM :-
Purchases from Google Play Movies wouldn't work
No Smart Lock while connected to Android Wear
No way to replace BAIDU and set Google as the search
So far i'm loving the EU Rom, i've not seen any lag at all while using it and pretty much everything seems to work exactly as it should - it has enhanced the MIX experience so much for me - love this thing!
Guys, how do I disable all battery saving optimizations / memory management optimzations? My background apps keep shutting automatically off after a while.
I'm on the default ROM without root (still waiting for developer approval)...

Go to the battery section & have a look around, you should find several settings for battery management.
You're gonna need root & an app such as Titanium Backup Pro, or, SD Maid Pro to disable a lot of the MIUI & Cheetah Mobile applications.
Fine tuning on a per app basis isn't enough (do not optimize battery savings for the apps you want to work properly, notifications, messaging, etc) .....
I highly recommend flashing the EU ROM, it seems to have better memory management than the Global ROM, but, you'll still need to disable a lot of the MIUI apps & all of the Cheetah Mobile s***ware to get memory management more to what you're used to experiencing.
One other item, go to Developer Options & disable MIUI Optimization, it should be the last item or close to it....

[GUIDE] Installing OxygenOS on Chinese models, easy rooting guide and much more!

Ok so I've seen a lot of confusion on how to correctly flash OxygenOS on your brand new OnePlus 5, and also how to correctly and easily root your phone.. This guide aims to clear up any confusion regarding this. Ready? Let's move on.
Q: What's the difference between International and Chinese versions of the OnePlus 5?
A: Hardware-wise there is absolutely no difference between the 2 versions. In terms of software, the international version runs OxygenOS (OOS) while the Chinese version runs HydrogenOS(H2OS). H2OS has no Google services pre-installed and is generally not recommended for use outside China. Both OxygenOS and HydrogenOS are official updates by OnePlus.
Q: I bought a Chinese phone. How do I install OxygenOS then?
A: 1. Download the latest OxygenOS from here. Download the full zip and NOT the OTA update.
2. Place it in the root of your internal memory. Basically don't put the file in any folder.
3. Go to Settings > System updates, press the gear icon and select Local upgrade.
4. Choose the file, the phone will boot into recovery and everything is done.
Q: OK I want to root my phone but I don't want to lose Android Pay, Netflix, Pokemon GO etc. Is it possible?
Simple answer: Yes. Long answer: Maybe not in the long run.
Why is that so? You see, back in the old days there were little downsides to rooting. Alas, Android Pay and Pokemon GO came along, and in an effort to tighten up security, Google implemented this thing called
SafetyNet. Basically it's a measure to test your system integrity, meaning that any modification to system will trigger SafetyNet and many apps will be "locked down". Android Pay and Pokemon GO will not work,
and Netflix won't show up on Google Play anymore. Some devices even check for unlocked bootloader, but apparently not the OnePlus 5, so you don't have to switch to a custom kernel to root.
To overcome this problem, the brilliant minds at XDA came up with system-less root. Chainfire was the first to implement it in SuperSU, but right now nobody uses SuperSU anymore. Magisk is the new kid in town,
and quite frankly much better IMO.
Q: Alright enough talk, how do I root the phone?
A: Patience my young Padawan. I will get to that in a moment. But here are some things you have to know.
1. Rooting involves unlocking your bootloader, and ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE WIPED. Keep a backup and move everything in your internal memory somewhere else.
2. Magisk may beat SafetyNet now, but there is no guarantee this will always be the case. So your SafetyNet enabled apps may not work all the time.
3. OTA updates from OnePlus will work differently when you are rooted. But hey that's what this guide is for. :good:
Easy rooting guide
1. Install ADB drivers.
2. Go into settings > about phone. Press the build no. a few times to activate developer options.
3. Turn on developer options, OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
4. Connect phone to PC and allow ADB access on phone. Wait for drivers to finish installing.
5. Download and install this simple tool on your PC.
6. Download one of the 2 TWRP recoveries below.
TWRP Official
xdvs23's TWRP
7. Open the All-in-One tool and make sure your device is recognised as OnePlus 5. Click on Unlock bootloader. Your bootloader is now unlocked and all your DATA WILL BE WIPED!
8. Select the "and boot it" arrow and click flash TWRP, click manual mode and choose the TWRP.img file you downloaded earlier.
9. After everything is done, your phone should now boot into TWRP successfully. Do not reboot yet.
10. On your PC, download the latest version of Magisk. Place the zip file onto your phone using USB and flash it with TWRP. Clear cache and reboot into system.
11. You should now see a new app called Magisk Manager. Check for updates!
12. However, do keep in mind not to mess around the system. If you need something, check to see if there any Magisk Modules available. There is also a small repo in the downloads section in Magisk Manager. Also Adaway works great with Magisk. Just make sure to turn on systemless host file in Magisk manager.
14. Congrats you are now rooted!:highfive:
Q: Alright now that I'm rooted, how do I get official updates?
A: 1. Download the latest OxygenOS from here. Download the full zip and NOT the OTA update. Place it on your phone. Make sure you also have your Magisk zip.
2. Boot into TWRP. Press the volume button when the bootloader unlocked screen comes up. Use volume buttons and power button to select recovery.
3. Flash the OxygenOS zip file. DO NOT reboot yet!
4. Tap the home button and flash Magisk. Clear cache.
5. Reboot into system and you are done!
Hope this guide is simple enough for you guys to understand. It might seem daunting at first, but practice makes perfect.
Also it is not a requirement to root, most people get by fine without ever rooting. But we are not like normal people, are we? Why else would we be on XDA then?
Further questions
Q1: Why Magisk and not SuperSU?
A: Besides the fact that Magisk is being constantly updated to bypass SafetyNet, it is also open-source. Wish I could say the same for SuperSU, the app is not what it used to be. Chainfire is no longer aware of the changes made in his app and I for one am not willing to take my chances with a shady developer. I had countless bad experiences with Chinese apps, many of them created by large companies. Check out this thread for more info.
Q2: Why exactly is HydrogenOS not recommended for use outside China?
A: Besides the aforementioned lack of Google apps, HydrogenOS is also tweaked differently from OxygenOS. It is significantly more aggressive in killing apps and not letting them run in the background, as you would expect with the number of rogue apps in China, made worse by the fact that there is no Play Store in China. OxygenOS on the other hand has a limit of 32 apps in memory, which I guess is a nice compromise between performance and battery life.
Reserved just in case. Probably will never need it though.
to be fair, there are still lots of people using SuperSU..
What should I do if I still want to use SuperSU?
2 noob questions @jasonwsc or anyone who knows
How about wiping dalvik and cache?
And how about encryption? Do I need to remove my fingerprint/security pattern before flashing OR rooting?
Thanks a lot for your help, the OP5 will be the first phone I can actually root. My old Xperia Z (2013) had a locked bootloader that was not unlockable haha.

Wiping Dalvik and cache is usually done after flashing a ROM in TWRP. Not that big of deal now that many apps use ART, but still good to do to prevent app crashes.
No need to remove fingerprint security before rooting.

Just flash SuperSU zip instead of Magisk.
I don't know why anyone still uses SuperSU though. For one, it's sold to a Chinese company and is no longer open source. Not to mention it doesn't pass SafetyNet at all.

Just a wild guess, but are you still in China? Check your VPN before trying to access the Google Playstore. Otherwise, remove the Playstore and download the most recent Playstore apk from a website like apkmirror. If they offer multiple versions, go for ARM 64.

I got my Chinese OP5 two days ago and went through the whole procedure of unlocking, rooting, and flashing OxygenOS. Now I see that somebody took the time to write a nice guide on how to do it. Thanks @jasonwsc! I really wish I had this available to me already. I am sure it's gonna be a great help to others though!
I wasn't aware that SuperSU had been sold to a Chinese company through and that it is no longer open source. Knowing what I know now I regret flashing SuperSU yesterday and would love to switch to Magisk.
My question would be: what's the "proper way" to switch from SuperSU to Magisk? Just unroot via SuperSU and flash Magisk, or is there a better, cleaner way?
Edit:
Nevermind, just searched it and there's a super nice guide here.

Hello,
I have the opportunity to receive an OP5T (128 GB)
from China. The ROM will be Hydrogen OS and not Oxygen OS.
I would like to be sure that the procedure used to install Oxygen OS will be the same as for the OP5?

Good morning all,
I have the same problem. Installed a H2os on a international oneplus 5.
Didn't like it so much so I formatted the system and installed the open beta 26.
However if I want to use the latest recovery either to clear cache or davlik cache I get a bunch of errors.
Any idea why?

Anyone got a working TWRP for Mi 8 global? MIUI 10.

As title. I've tried like 5 different TWRP versions linked from all over the Mi 8 forums and none have worked for me. Any and all versions have made the ROM unable to boot, every restart will load recovery instead and I have to flash stock boot to get the ROM to work. Bootloader unlocked, ROM rooted by having Magisk create a patched boot cos every other way also failed.
I'm also looking for it.

You need to choose Format Data first, Reboot again to Recovery, and then flash the DM Verity and Encryption Disabler.
After that, you can go ahead to flash any ROM you like.

Believe me, it worth the efforts! It would be much better than staying with crappy MIUI 10 Global Stable.
Currently, I'm with MIUI EU 10.0.6.0 Stable and I don't want to go back to stock MIUI Stable, just don't forget to install Magisk 17.2 for root access, replace the GPS.conf with your preferred country server URL (I believed it should be Malaysia) - look for a thread by @RainGater for the complete walkthrough - and although it is not necessary, it would be better to edit the default Xiaomi EU build.prop to change the region to match your country (by default it is set to Romania or some EU country, I forgot)

I don't actually have a problem with my ROM. My GPS works fine, and I've already gotten root on my stock Global. Right now in my journey with Android which started with the HTC Desire Z, I don't need a custom ROM, I just need root for the occasional app that needs it I do have root now, but would love TWRP too so I can make full backups. Will check out your links regardless, thanks!

K20 Pro 11.0.3.0 Global, whiche TWRP and Magisk use ?

Hi everyone, sorry for my bad english.
I have a Redmi K20 Pro (chinese phone from Rakuten sent to France) with 11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM) with an UNLOCKED Bootloader.
I would like to install TWRP (for root) and magisk (to hide root).
When I've bought the phone, i had a 9t Pro Rom installed. I've tried to install TWRP and magisk and I soft bricked it...
So... I've reflash an old Global K20 Pro ROM (not 9T Pro) and update it via OTA.
Now I'm in 11.0.3.0 Global with the good phone name (K20 pro).
I would like to know wich version of TWRP and Magisk I must flash.
Maybe one from this thread?

You shouldn't normally need to flash vbmeta, if you are going to install Magisk. You should be OK, if you boot immediately to TWRP after flashing, then flash Magisk.
Also look at Orange Fox recovery, if you are sticking with MIUI. It has extra features specific to MIUI, such as OTA survival and in-built debloat tools, amongst other things.
If you don't need the extra features, then stick with the mauronofrio's TWRP.
For Magisk, just go with the latest official build.
I tried to flash Twrp many times but every attempt failed... Orange Fox is no problem, but I like Twrp more. The phone isn't booting up after flashing Twrp... Has anybody a solution for this problem?
Gesendet von meinem Mi 9T Pro mit Tapatalk
Ok I will try Orange Fox. But could I install Magisk to hide root with Orange Fox ? Moreover, must I boot to Android before flashing Magisk or must I flash it immediatly after the Orange Fox install ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : all tutos I've found tells that I must install TWRP before Orange Fox... But I can't install TWRP without soft brick...

wait wait wait....
Umm, if you haven't gotten a fix yet.
You're saying you got k20p china model (RCN) with global rom (RGL rom) and it is using Indian Vendor (RIN vendor).............. dude.... why.
Anyways, can I just suggest you move to EU ROM latest stable. Its a lot less hassle, seriously.
I mean AOSP is great too. but if you want miui, EU just skips all the problems.
Also, to fix your problem.
Find out what phone you have first, then get the latest updated vendor for it.
Use mauronifroi's TWRP img file and flash it via cmd on your PC. then use orangefox.
Just flash the latest stable magisk zip file 20.3
My Guide should fix everything you have. you mix and matched 3 things lel, no wonder something is soft-bricking. Use my guide, or text me on telegram

download cpu-z app on play store, and check if somewhere there is ,,raphael'' or ,,raphaelin'' so we can be sure

You speak English well.
Right, so on my guide link.. scroll down to the 3rd comment, and you'll find a guide that says HOW TO KNOW WHAT DEVICE I HAVE. and check the box.
I'm just assuming whoever sold it did not change the boxes as well.
anyways, on the back of the phone, if it says REDMI it's either an Indian k20p or a Chinese k20p. If it has MI written on it. Your phone is Mi 9tp.
download the DRM info app from the play store. If your widevine is L1, you have the Indian variant confirmed.
If your widevine is L3, you have the china variant probably (or the Indian variant and screwed with the widevine, and you may get it back depending on what the manufactures did. Iff it shows L3, it's a decent chance its the china version)
another sure-fire way is checking if NFC works. The Indian variant does not have NFC hardware chip at all., whereas the china version does.
for now, move to EU, and we can slowly work on which exactly if you are hell-bent on know what you got.
The CPU-Z will show raphael/raphaelin based on your vendor. I have raphaelin, but I am using EU rom, which uses modified china vendor, so my CPU-Z app shows raphael and not raphaelin
btw, if you are so self-conscious about your English, download the chrome extension called grammarly., and Enable it. That'll help your English dramatically by underlining your grammatical mistakes. I use it all the time, and for making sure my posts are grammatically sound.
I'm on telegram as sandeeep, you can text me there if you want to.
Thanks everyone.
I have a chinese version (winedev L3 and NFC and K20 written in the back), good for me and Netflix ! And everyone works perfecly on my phone.
So... I will try to backup as many things as possible and retry to flash TWRP. If it's failed I will flash an EU Rom et retry the TWRP flash.
Sandeeep Kiran, I will telegram you if I have problems. Thanks a lot guy !

Hopefully this is the last time to back up and restore the phone.
Go here and get the latest EU fastboot ROM
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
It's labelled Global EEA - currently version 11.0.3
Install it with this guide
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
If you see a blank page on a mobile phone, change the browser to desktop mode to view it.
IMPORTANT
In the guide at step 4, after unzipping the ROM delete the file clean_all_lock.bat - This will stop you accidentally bricking the phone.
In step 5 make sure you change the option at the bottom to clean all, before hitting the flash button (see the photo in the guide)
You need to boot into MIUI once before flashing anything else.
After initial set-up of MIUI, boot into fastboot and flash the latest TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
Currently 3.3.1-32 is the latest.
After flashing TWRP, while you are still in fastboot mode, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now as soon as you hit enter, pick up the phone and press and hold the volume up button. Keeping holding volume up until the phone boots into TWRP.
Download the latest Magisk from here
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
(It's a good idea to also download the uninstaller file too, just in case you need it)
With the phone now in TWRP and connected to the PC, copy the Magisk installer to the phone, then flash it with TWRP.
You should now have the latest EU ROM with TWRP and Magisk successfully installed, so reboot to MIUI and check Magisk is working.
Then reboot to recovery and check TWRP is working.
I apologies for my bad French. :laugh:

Question Official MUII 12.5 Global. Any link and tutorial to flash CN versions?

Hi! I buyed a CN version of Mi 11. Is there any link with the official Global rom for Mi 11 that was rleased today ? Any tutorial?
Thanks!
As far as I know, the Mi 11 Global version won't be available before February 25th (at least here in Europe), so I doubt the global ROM is available yet. Most people recommend the xiaomi.eu ROM over the global ROM because it has some extra features and so on.
I recommend you use Xiaomi.eu's ROM, there's a thread explaining how to do it here. Also, don't forget to unlock your bootloader - you need to wait 7 days before it can be unlocked, so if you start the process today, you'll be able to flash custom ROMs in a week.
https://c.mi.com/thread-3581378-1-0.html
Thanks guys!

Installation ok for me. Like u i was on xiaomi.eu lastest. there is a smalll error : This error is caused because the tool verifies if the device’s bootloader has been locked or not. Since you used the ‘clean all’ or ‘save user data’ option, the bootloader is not locked and the error is shown. This is a problem with the tool itself and is nothing to be worried about since the verification takes place after the flash is fully complete.

You don't mind if I abuse you since you the first known to successfully flash the global rom?
Therefore, my bunch of questions are:
1. Did you use the fastboot version of rom (unzipped tgz)?
2. You did dirty flash form eu rom or did you clear data before flash?
3. You don't have any modem issue, all mobile bands and both wifi (2.4 and 5)?
4. Like first impression: do you still experience massive battery consumption?
5. What are major differences between eu and global?
6. Is the rom smooth and responsive or you experience any malfunctions so far?
7. Google Pay works? If you don't use it, could you be so kind and install safety net tester and report the results?
8. Could you still use phone calls recorder?
Thank you for your patient and contribution.
Yes of course
1. fastboot version
2.Form xiaomi.eu rebooting in faastboot mod and flashing fastboot version with mi flash with clean all option.
3. No mobile or wifi issues
4. all gms are installed ( google phone dialer and sms )

I don't want to install the xiaomi.eu because of the OTA updates and more. I want to flash the official global version of miui.
For this official global rom I still need to unlock the bootloader or can I flash over the chinese version? Sorry for the nob question. I'm new to Xiaomi phones.

Just as a warning - if you decide to flash the official ROM, DO NOT RE-LOCK YOUR BOOT LOADER.
See this post.

Are you talking about this link: https://c.mi.com/thread-3581378-1-0.html
If you are, the download link provided in the above url does not work and it is the same link I mentioned earlier.

You don't mind if I abuse you since you the first known to successfully flash the global rom?
Therefore, my bunch of questions are:
1. Did you use the fastboot version of rom (unzipped tgz)?
2. You did dirty flash form eu rom or did you clear data before flash?
3. You don't have any modem issue, all mobile bands and both wifi (2.4 and 5)?
4. Like first impression: do you still experience massive battery consumption?
5. What are major differences between eu and global?
6. Is the rom smooth and responsive or you experience any malfunctions so far?
7. Google Pay works? If you don't use it, could you be so kind and install safety net tester and report the results?
8. Could you still use phone calls recorder?
Thank you for your patient and contribution.

hello I have my mi 11 on the global rom for 1 week
I flashed my phone with the fastboot rom (adb) and everything went well (if the phone restarts in fastboot mode, force the boot in recovery mode and does a data factory reset whip)
google pay works fine for me
my phone works without problem (no slowdown, no problem with the wifi connection on the phone, all Google services work perfectly)
after the rest has already been said
