IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING:
After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting.
REQUIREMENTS
1- Unlocked Bootloader (search on google if you dont know how to unlock)
2- Drivers and Adb/Fastboot commands knowledge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!
Bugs:
1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.
2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.
3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the serial number folder seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/serialnumber/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old serialnumber folder and put on the new serialnumber folder).
Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system does not boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot
Steps to Install TWRP and root
1. Download and extrct the files: https : // drive. google . com/file/d/0BxzG5iupOOSKNTdlRC1Wd0VmTlk/view
2. Power off the tablet.
3. Enter fastboot mode by pressing the power button while holding down Vol -
4. Open up command prompt and navigate to the directory where fastboot.exe is located.
5. Pass the following commands:
fastboot flash boot unsecuredboot.img
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
6. Reboot into recovery (TWRP) and install SuperSU v2.46.zip ---
Continuation 6. Step by Step of Step 6 since people seem to have been running into issues with it:
After rebooting to TWRP and having SuperSU.zip in the tablet storage. Go on Install tab and press the supersu file and install/flash it then reboot the device.
Hello,
I finally managed to install a custom GSI Rom with TWRP and Magisk on my Redmi 7A. And I want to share a detailed guide for everyone who is struggling to do the same. Tested with MIUI 10.2.5.0 Global. Cannot guarantee for other versions.
WARNING:
You need to backup your data before installing. I am not responsible for any damage or loss that might occur. Proceed at your own risk.
Prerequisites:
- Your bootloader must be unlocked (https://en.miui.com/unlock/)
- GSI Rom of your choice. Only a64 A/B (arm32_binder64_ab). No other GSIs will do.
- ADB and Fastboot
- patched boot.img
- TWRP recovery
- vbmeta.img
- Magisk
- Permissiver_v4.zip
- Certification patch
- Treble Overlay file
- GApps (if needed)
Installation guide:
1. Download the files.
GSI Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
I installed Lineage OS 16 GSI (lineage-16.0-20191017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvN). Everything works, except for auto-brightness.

https://opengapps.org/
2. Unpack Minimal ADB and Fastboot to C:\ drive of your PC
3. Rename patched boot file to boot.img
4. Rename custom recovery file to recovery.img
5. Place boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img in ADB folder
6. Turn off your phone.
7. Reboot phone to fastboot mode by holding Volume-down button while pressing On/Off-button. You know you are in fastboot mode when you see a cartoon bunny.
8. Connect the phone to your PC via USB.
9. On your PC open command prompt and nagivate to ADB folder, or open command prompt window directly from right-click menu in ADB folder; just right-click on empty space and choose 'Open command prompt here'
10. In command prompt, enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. Now reboot to recovery: Press Volume-Up button on your phone and enter the following in command prompt:
Code:
fastboot reboot
or just turn off the phone and reboot by holding Volume-Up and On/Off button (release On/Off when phone turns on, keep holding Volume-Up until you see screen of TWRP recovery)
12. Swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for PIN, enter the PIN code you set for your unlock screen.
13. In TWRP choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'. Then Swipe to Wipe.
14. Move the downloaded GSI file (*.img) to your phone. (Simply drag and drop in your PC's file manager to SD-card/memory of phone).
15. Flash the GSI Rom: In TWRP choose 'Install' > 'Install Image' and select the GSI. If you put the GSI on your external SD-card you first need to choose Select Storage > Micro SD card. After choosing the GSI file, at Select Partition to Flash Image choose System Image. Then Swipe to confirm Flash.
16. Reboot to Recovery
17. Move Magisk zip and Permissiver_v4.zip to your phone.
18. In TWRP choose Install. Select the Magisk zip-file on your phone and then Swipe to confirm flash.
19. Flash Permissiver_v4.zip the same way.
20. Flash GApps if needed
21. Flash Certification_Patch.zip.
22. Go back and choose Reboot > System
23. Fix big rounded corners on home screen:
Once you are in Android and in case you experience big ugly round corners around your home screen, put treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi7a.apk in System > Overlay directory. You need a file manager with root access if you want to do this from within Android.
24. Fix brightness adjustment issue (no auto-brightness though):
Enable USB debugging in Developer Options menu. To make developer menu appear in Android, you need to tap 7 times on Android's 'build number'.
Now open command prompt from ADB folder on your PC while your phone is still connected via USB. Enter the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness $(cat /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/max_brightness)
You need to allow adb shell to get root access or the command will throw an error. Your phone should show a confirmation dialog when entering the command. If it doesn't show the dialog, open Magisk Manager app and give root access for Shell in Superuser menu.
25. Enjoy!

Somehow there is ver 10.2 and 10.4 missing 10.3 which is the one which I have.
What should I do?
Thanks very much for the detailed instructions!
I got it working with lineage-17-arm
Got the beta opengapps from...
https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/
Before copying the treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi7a.apk file, I had to type...
chmod a+r treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi7a.apk
mount -o rw,remount /
I followed the steps, and i got stuck on Redmi Logo, My bootloader is unlocked.
Tried to install 2 ROMs without success.
In the second ROM (Lineage 17) when i tried to install gapps, it gave me an error saying insufficient space.
i had to get back to Miui.

Before installing gapps, after installing the rom. Go to TWRP > wipe > "system" > repair > resize fs > reboot. Then install gapps.
It didn't boot after I installed gapps on lineage 16, but it was ok on lineage 17.
Redmi 7A Miui 10.3 Patcher file missing?
Does anyone know where I could find patched file for Miui 10.3, because there is only for ver 10.2 and 10.4, and I can't update miui on my phone that's why I'm asking. Thanks.
in TWRP, after instaling the ROM and trying to install gaps, or whatever I get:
Failed to mount '/system_root' (invalid argument)
I also can't mount system partition in mounting options.
What does it means?
.
After installing TWRP successfully I tried with both roms: lineage-16.0-20191017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvN and lineage-17.0-20191117-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvN
it fails to install any apps (Magisk, permissiver, G-Apps, etc.).
Example from Magisk:
- Mounting /system
! Cannot mount /system
- Unmounting partition
...
Failed to mount "system/root" (invalid argument)
When I now try to reboot again into Recovery TWRP says "No OS Installed".
any help is appreciated!

Hello!,
it's possible with MIUI 11 (PCMINXM) ? or i need to roll back to MIUI10?
Camera records corrupted videos
Any idea how to make camera record videos? Photos work, but when I try to record videos, it seems to be recording, but when I try to play it back it seems corrupted (e.g.: showing length of the video to be over 104h long - so seems like indexing problem). Tried to play with camera_config.xml at root/vendor/etc/camera but no luck so far... :crying:
P.S.: The problem seems to be independent of the app used - Open Camera with Camera2 API enabled does not change a thing.

Same thing with mine, first time i did solve it installing gapps again, but a few days later the problem got back. I´m about to update to last firmware and see if it solves the issue, ill comment later.

Don't do that - it's too much work.
Fixed mine by editing camera_config.xml so it has only the config for the model and vendor of the camera that it actually has been fitted with. Now using Open Camera with Camera2 API everything works fine. :victory:
P.S.: So the cause of the problem really seems to be the conflict of different camera configs within the configuration file.
brother please! can you tell me how to do it? like a mini guide, i dont have magisk nor root on my phone. do i need to root it?
would appriciate it so much!!
Well, a lot of people wanting to root global miui 11.0.7 and not being able to... So I did it on my Global redmi 7a - MIUI 11.0.7 Global.
Simple though. Apart from whats being said, u can update Magisk to v20.+ after flashing
the 19 version, through the app Magisk Manager automatically installed after flashing.
Prerequisites & Downloads:
- Your bootloader must be unlocked (https://en.miui.com/unlock/)
- ADB and Fastboot -> I did on windows version, maybe can be done on linux...
- patched boot.img for miui 11.0.7 global
- vbmeta.img
- Magisk v19.3 zip -> place it on the root of your external sdcard
This is basically copied from cg730620's post [Guide][Redmi 7A] TWRP, Root with Magisk, Custom ROM [GSI][Pie] and Avedroid's vid
1 - Unlock bootloader and flash stock miui 11.0.7 recovery rom, using miflash 2017
CAREFUL! On the lower right corner check the first option, "clean all", or you may end up with a locked bootloader.
-> exactly the same from the quoted post from now on, what differs is the files and we are only flashing magisk v19.3
"2. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. Rename patched boot file to boot.img
4. Rename custom recovery file to recovery.img
5. Place boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img in Program Files (x86)/Minimal ADB and Fastboot/ folder
6. Turn off your phone.
7. Reboot phone to fastboot mode by holding Volume-down button while pressing On/Off-button. You know you are in fastboot mode when you see a cartoon bunny.
8. Connect the phone to your PC via USB.
9. On your PC open command prompt and nagivate to ADB folder, or open command prompt window directly from right-click menu in ADB folder; just right-click on empty space and choose 'Open command prompt here'
10. In command prompt, enter the following commands:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. Now reboot to recovery: Press Volume-Up button on your phone and enter the following in command prompt:
or just turn off the phone and reboot by holding Volume-Up and On/Off button (release On/Off when phone turns on, keep holding Volume-Up until you see screen of TWRP recovery)
12. Swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for PIN, enter the PIN code you set for your unlock screen.
13. In TWRP choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'. Then Swipe to Wipe.
18. In TWRP choose Install. Select the Magisk zip-file on your phone and then Swipe to confirm flash.
Reboot to system, open Magisk, update and there u go.
Same steps of the beginning of Avedroid's video, only with modified boot.img and Magisk Version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSs08O6uGVI&t=324s
After 16:30 of the video he flashes a custom gsi rom which is not of the interest of this thread, just flash magisk.
Thanks to all who made it possible, especially Avedroid and cg730620
Post questions and answers here, please, NOT in PM.
Good luck!
Thank's it's work fine on custom gsi too, i just flash patch boot, vbmeta, finally install magisk success
I did everything right, however, when it came to installing Magisk, the following error occurred: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1".
So I redid the whole process, but before installing Magisk I did the following: I went to Mount, I deselected the System partition and after that the installation proceeded normally.
Well, I don’t know if this is the best way to fix this problem, I don’t understand much of these things, but it ended up working for me.
Thanks for the post
I will do some tests to see if everything is working.

Same steps of the beginning of Avedroid's video, only with modified boot.img and Magisk Version
After 16:30 of the video he flashes a custom gsi rom which is not of the interest of this thread, just flash magisk.
Thanks to all who made it possible, especially Avedroid and cg730620

I wish to obtain root / access to magisk,
Wanting to know if I can do this without losing data (having to delete system data)
Thank you
Hello.
So I was trying to root my Redmi 7A - v10.2.1 with TWRP 3.3.1 but now I am stuck in a bootloop.
What I did:
1. Flash boot.img
2. Flash recovery.img
3. Flash vbmeta.img
4. reboot
Phone rebooted to system and TWRP was installed.
Then I booted to TWRP to install Magisk-v23.0.zip,
I went to Advanced Wipe, then wiped 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'.
When I rebooted, it went into a bootloop, when I go to TWRP it says 'No OS INSTALLED".
What did I do wrong? And how to recover?
Thanks.

I did everything right, however, when it came to installing Magisk, the following error occurred: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1".
So I redid the whole process, but before installing Magisk I did the following: I went to Mount, I deselected the System partition and after that the installation proceeded normally.
Well, I don’t know if this is the best way to fix this problem, I don’t understand much of these things, but it ended up working for me.
Thanks for the post
I will do some tests to see if everything is working.

Im also getting the same error,, but what do you mean by "deselected the System partition". I see "system_root" in Mount but not "System"

- is this the recovery.img?
Hi! I'm on Lineage 17.1 March 2020.
If I want to try out Lineage 18 - do I have do go back to MIUI global first before flashing Lineage with fastboot?
Other question:
Actually the internal storage seems to be encrypted. It is shown if I attached it to my PC but only some cryptical filenames are there - no chance to load anything to the internal storage for flashing it with TWRP. Any chances to "decrypt" it or make it "visible"?

i would recommend you to flash MIUI global first, because if somethings goes wrong you can't say whats the reason for the error.
and the encrypted folders can be deleted in twrp by format data -->yes

Foolproof method to install roms, twrp + root.
Read through the directions first before you start anything and your phone wont get bricked. Even if it does, you can use the msm tool guide that I linked below to restore it and get it prepped up for custom rom install again.
Pre-requisites:
1) Update to latest android 11 through software update.
2)Have oneplus drivers and adb/fastboot drivers installed

*****Extra Steps Required for T-mobile variant for installing custom roms****
-I tried everything and couldnt get havoc os to install on my t-mobile variant. It would always end up in a bricked state. To get around this, you first need to convert it to international following this guide then follow steps below after you have kept updating it in system until there are no more updates available. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-convert-tmobile-op7-to-international.3935947/
Guide for installing custom rom over android 11
-unlock bootloader and enable usb debugging then connect phone- use this video on how to unlock bootloader but dont follow his other steps yet
-open up cmd in minimal adb and fastboot folder and type in adb devices and make sure phone shows up
-in cmd, type in "adb reboot bootloader"
-in cmd, type in "fastboot devices" and make sure phone shows up
-in cmd, type in fastboot boot "name of your twrp file"
It should boot into twrp. at this point, you should have your rom zip file in the internal storage
-install the custom rom.zip. In my case, i installed havoc 4.8. After thats done, go back to wipe and format data. For extra measures, go to wipe and advanced wipe and wipe dalvik cache, data and vendor then reboot.
-to get root, set up the phone and enable usb debugging again. Transfer magisk v23.0 to download. adb reboot bootloader and go into recovery if your rom has one(havoc has its own) or fastboot into twrp again and install magisk. At this point, you can also install twrp if you want. Follow the guide above to install the unofficial twrp.
