I have updated to the latest MIUI Global 13,0,2,0 and I NEED ROOT ACCESS, how do i go about it now?
i know it cant be done via trwp but fastboot...
i downloaded the miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0 but there is no boot.img inside??? (that is the rom version i currently have installed)
PLEASE help me root my device
1. Yes and it takes 168 hours to complete and ends with a format. Use official mi unlock tool.
2. There is only one custom ROM. It is the Xiaomi EU ROM and available on that forum or via mifirm.net
3. Safetynet will not pass while on a rooted ROM. Unless you use magisk. My question is why do you need root? The Xiaomi EU ROM passes safteynet and all you banks, gpay etc work fine without root. There is no working twrp on A12, all A12 updates on Xiaomi EU ROM are fastboot.
4. Plenty of guides in this or the Xiaomi EU forum for 11 Ultra but obviously there is always risk in flashing but even when bricked, these can be brought back to life with the help of anyone with an edl account.

2> which custom rom would you suggest?

MIUI 13 is A12, but it depends on what variant of your phone is (global, Chinese, eu...) and where r u living, u will have miui 13 or not

Awesome, thank you kindly for that great reply,
2) is that custom Rom any better than stock or has some sort of advantage over stock? Extra features, programs, tweeks...?
This custom rom come pre-rooted?
3) i don't need root for anything in particular, I've always had root on every single Android I've ever owned, once in a blue moon it comes in handy, i do plan on using magisk,
- from memory mine came with Android 11 Global, will twrp work on that?
5) That 1 custom rom, does it receive updates or voids warranty? And it is possible to revert back to stock but not downgrade Android versions...?

2. We call it "custom" but it just stock miui China rom of 11U with some mod for working in global area
As u know if u unlock phone, some app will not work normally (like banking, Google pay, Netflix...) they already fix almost all of the problem like that. And every default app can be uninstall easily (but xiaomi already have the way to uninstall thêm too).
And it isn't pre-rooted
3. If u dont want to do anything with root, i recommend u to stay away from it.
A11 is working fine with twrp, u can find official twrp in forums
MIUI 13 (A12) isn't.

You mentioned if I unlock my phone some apps won't work... You mean if I root my phone right? There's magisk hide that Helps to bypass these restrictions...
If there's no custom ROMs or special mods then I don't see the point in installing twrp? Unless there's advantages of twrp on Xiaomi phones?
Can I root the current stock firmware that's installed now on my device ?

with me, i just need twrp when i want to use xiaomi.eu rom, they usually realease recovery zip file for update rom. But now still no working twrp with A12, so they realease fastboot rom, and i dont want to use xiaomi.eu rom anymore so i dont care about twrp
yes. u can always comeback to stock with flash fastboot rom (or recovery rom with working twrp)
i prefer fastboot rom because i just think it's cleaner than recovery (LOL)
And with fastboot method, u can relock bootloader if u want, just need to carefully pick the right rom of your phone original. (eg: global unit can only relock using global rom, eea with eea rom, CN with CN rom)

I will never use that rom, because it isn't official
If I want custom rom, i will go for xiaomi.eu
And here i talk about official fastboot rom, thanks
You're misinformed.
They offer the official rom, all they do is to pack it in a fastboot installer.
Again, official rom, repacked. I'd advise a fact check because you are active in answering people, but your knowledge is obviously partial.

I just received my phone today and it came with unlocked bootloader and Russian global rom V9.5.14.0.OEARUFA.
Question is, can I download the updater ZIP file of Global Rom V9.5.13.0.OEAMIFA and use the updater app to flash instead of using Fastbook/Miflash Tools. Is this a safe way? Will it work? Thanks in advance!
Note : It is China Mi8 device.
I also wait for solution... Buy online and got russian rom and unlocked bootloader... What suitable twrp version for this rom because i scare bootloop will happen when install the unsuitable version... And does anyone here already try the miui pro rom from miuipro website.. does it good? Any feedback is appreciated..
The latest recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0806 will do the trick.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528068853
Flashing with twrp is probably the safest way as mi flash you can accidentally re-lock your bootloader.
Since the OP phone is china mi8. It's compatible with all the rom in this forum (EU, global, etc) with unlock bootloader of course.
I do not wish to change my recovery to twrp. So it's the only way is to use miflash tools? No direct zip flash global from from updater app from phone ?

To my knowledge you can't change channel with updater app. With channel I mean Global stable, Global developer, Chinese stable, Chinese developer etc etc.
So global and global Russia can be used with updater app ? Is that correct?
But if can't, it will only show error and nothing will happen to y device right?

Magisk is probably tricking the firmware to see the bootloader is locked. For purposes of online banking and stuff? I believe bootloader is still actually unlocked.
Just wondering if the stock zips can be flashed with twrp?
I tried numerous stock zips and the ROM flashes successfully with no errors, xiaomiflashtool V2 is also successful, however when the phone boots no matter which stock ROM succeeds, Xiaomi.eu is the ROM that boots.
I don't want to use mi-flash, my phone is eea(Vodafone) and I'm trying to flash eea global, when switching with mi flash it activates ARB and bricks the phone. I know it does because I have already done so and got a replacement from Vodafone.
Any help to flash a stock ROM would be appreciated, I'm stuck with xiaomi.eu as it stands.
Cheers.
at moment . there still no recovery rom for Xiaomi Mi 11 . there's people trying to flash stock rom in TWRP but keep failed .

Mine doesn't fail though, it succeeds. Well shows it succeeds but boots to xiaomi.eu each time.
Xiaomiflashtool V2 also succeeds with the stock ROM , but same outcome is present, xiaomi.eu boots each time.

hello me i think wait for a stable recovery.
At the moment the "TWRP" that is out is A10 based therefore you can only do normal stuff like wipe, flash magisk etc. It does not support flashing A11 roms yet

Hi you can, but you need the bl unlocked, also with china phones you might need root for gpay, banking fp etc.... with the bootloader unlocked these things may or not work, however on Chinese phones the bl must remain always open on a custom rom, otherwise the phone will brick.

generally thats the case, but for some reason some people its fine and others not, depends on your bank if it detects the bl is unlocked then you cant use it for this without magisk.

Thanks I guess I'll find out soon enough
Hello,
I have bought a Mi 11 yesterday version M2011K2G,
I found out that the bootloader was unlocked on it, but when I check it has a global ROM installed already on it,
the thing is that it's not making any update, so I guess it's not an original ROM ?
I want to put back the original ROM and lock the bootloader back in order to have updates,
can you please help me on how I can do this without breaking the phone ?
or I'm I not getting the updates just because the bootloader is unlocked and if I lock it I will get them back ? I'm just scared if I lock it back the phone will break,
or you think I should install back the ROM and lock it back to get everything better ?
Thanks !
What version of ROM do you have?

Normally an unlocked bootloader has no affort to the update. How did you get notice about that? If your bl is really unlocked I would stay with that.

I know it's unlocked cause I see the unlocked "padlock" when I restart the phone, other than this I don't have any idea of what modification could have been done to it since I'm used to use my phone the way they come with, thats why I want to get it back to stock ROM or get the updates to make sure it's all good
Here is the latest Rom for eea.
It's interesting that rkbeusf is nowhere to find.
Well unzip the fastboot file put the fastboot files from miui into it and try the installation without locking

if I use the Mi Flash and I don't lock it after flashing it, I won't get the upcoming updates will I ?
I mean, is there any way to lock it back ?
I kind of want to make the phone as it went out from factory
I never used mi flash, sorry.
My first step on new phones are always to unlock the bootloader so I can flash root and restore the apps with titanium.
And I got always updates through Ota.
I switched to xiaomi.eu rom, because it was faster with miui 12.5

thanks man, I will try install this ROM you gave me, I have noticed that when I make "download latest packages" it directly says "impossible to download..."
I wonder why it's doing this
Sorry if I misunderstood you, but you will have to scroll down until you see fastboot then a bit more to 'full rom' and click on the blue button
Edit:
Tested it right now and it works fine for me (download started)
Edit 2:
Seems to work with MI flash tool too:
Found on the mitool side:
Step 1: Download the correct Fastboot ROM on the Windows PC by double-checking the compatibility. Then extract and get the workable extensions on the PC (use the Rom above)
Step 2: installation bla bla
Step 3: too
Step 4: too
Step 5: Then attach the ROM file
Step 6: Switch Xiaomi device into the Fastboot mode. So turn off the device and simply take a long press and hold the keys of Volume Down and Power keys
Step 7: Then connect the device to the PC with a proper USB cable which is in the Fastboot mode
Step 8: Now you can enter the tool interface and check whether the device is connected
Step 9: Then select the most suitable flashing option from all three “Flash all”, “Flash all except storage” and “Flash all except data and storage”
Step 10: Hit flash from the top of the window and wait for several minutes
Step 11: Once the process is done you can reboot and finalize the process successfully.

thanks bro it worked, it now checks the updates and make them when they're available, my wife won't ask the divorce finally haha
one last question and I leave you,
my phone is a 12gb 256 (chinese) if I install that same ROM I installed, will I get autoupdates on it or that version can only update on it's chinese ROM ? any idea ?
For my understanding it will work too. The 12 GB ram is EU is not available but it's only additional ram and does not have an other rom.
... So if you can install and use your phone with that rom you will have no issues with updates

Be careful, don't lock bootloader with a global or EEA ROM on CN hardware, you will brick your phone.
Take care when using Miflash with CN flashed to global. Now you are on production software, best to stay there unless you want to install custom ROMs. OTAs should work now. 12.5.1.0 is the latest for EEA.

Isn´t all Mi 11 CN = China hardware ? I think it is safe to relock bootloader if you are on original ROM. Do you mix hardware and rom with each other.

Hi guys,
i flashed tons of roms since i got my phone. Now i want to revert back to miui 10 android 9 ~v10.3.17 - xiaomi.eu, as miui 10 always was best with battery life for me.
Should i first flash the official stock rom from c.mi.com with fastboot mi flash tool to get rid of all my mess i have done in those years or can i just flash xiaomi.eu via twrp ?
I have the chinese version redmi k20 pro 8gb 128gb raphael.
Thanks.

Flashing Xiaomi.eu will only replace the system. It's probably better that you first re-flash the complete stock, also MIUI 10/A 9, to have the clean situation like in the old days
@zgfg thank you very much for your answer.
May you can tell me if i should prepare anything to get the bootloader unlocked again easily or is it the same procedure like requesting the file from mi.com ?
And maybe you can tell me if i can flash eea or global rom aswell as i live in Italy/europe or china is required ?

fastboot oem device-info
Regarding how to flash the fastboot firmwares, see (I didn't use myself):
How to Flash Xiaomi Firmware using MIUI Fastboot and Recovery ROM
Ever since the dawn of affordable smartphones in countries like India and China, the demand for more has increased. The consumers now, more than ever, are

Long ago, when I switched from stock to Xiaomi.eu, I switched from EEA (but AFAIK, Xiaomi.eu guides nowhere require to be coming specifically from EEA, Global, China, Russia)
Yeah im unlocked, but if i recognize it correctly flashing stock will lock bootloader again.
Need to do further research tomorrow than if i can prevent that somehow .
Thanks.

Take a look to the screenshot from Mi Flash in the guide, there is the option Clean all vs Clean all and lock
That is a common issue, people leave on default: Clean all and lock and if anything goes wrong while flashing (wrong firmware or something) they hard brick their phones and since they locked them, they cannot flash again (and must ask for the paid EDL support)

Thank you so much for pointing that out, i surely have missed that.
If i can keep it unlocked may i stay at stock and will do a lot of debloating and optimization as i wont update it .
Hi
Kind of in a pickle here, I have upgraded to the EU version of the rom and then updated to the above 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM. Now the issue I am facing is no matter what version of twrp I install or boot into it doesn't show me the internal storage and neither can I copy anything there for some reason. ( That's TWRP out of the question trying to flash magisk or trying to extract the phones boot.img? )
Neither can i get hold of miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM zip file where i can extract it and utilise the boot.img either as its no where to be found aka the full rom?
How do I root with magisk on my mi 11 ultra miui 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM. Any suggestions or links would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
You can only root via adb fastboot using the fastboot version of your rom to patch the original boot.ini. AFAIK there are no fastboot versions of these roms quite yet

okay i managed to find a twrp and use the following command
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
that worked fine and i was able to see the storage. flashed magisk canary which then sent the phone into twrp loop.
restarting again installing the eu 12xxx rom which i will update to 13.0.5.0 SKAEUXM and then re do the procedure with normal magisk and see how that fairs. when i do normal fastboot flash recovery twrp.img i get a failed message.
will update

Use unsupported version of twrp with miui 13 (A12) can brick your phone, remember that
Still no working twrp for miui 13 (A12)
everything's been fine I been testing various roms and trying to get boot.img from miui 13 eu rom but while being careful on one occasion i forgot to check clean all and instead it was sat on clean all and lock and it locked and now i have fast boot only no recovery and boot loader is locked, I don't get why they would design this software to auto select clean all and lock rather than nothing so you get to select before you can even proceed unless it was malicious and done on purpose?? I done the unlock thing last night and have to wait 134 hours.
pay for a phone and still be at the mercy of the manufacturer, no, fk that. this phones getting flashed back and sent right back up the Chinese where the sun don't shine.
anyways what option do i have apart from now being at the mercy of another foreigner who just wants you to pay him before he even wants to talk to you or answer any questions or ask any about your issue.
all i got was pay no refund pay no refund from one dude in india no questions no nothing. i asked questions and he couldn't even answer one of them apart from with a maybe and a ? (Wont take any names)
so this is where I'm at fastboot with locked bootloader, no recovery or data. cant twrp on locked device cant set to edl mode via fastboot nothing.
any attempt has rendered cant do anything on locked bootloader. I can see the phone on mi flash and try to flash it but keep getting the locked error.
I have tried a global rom a eu rom a chinese rom hell even a engineering rom all the above give cant erase on locked stae error while the engineering one gives Antirollback error, and yes i have deleted the section of anti rollback check still get some other error?
Over to you guys.

Relock bl when flash different branch rom with original rom, will make the phone cannot boot. Only way to fix it is someone with special account, just can fix it in some ez step
UPDATE
so the phone is back on Chinese rom now, that it came with but the boot loader is locked until another 120 hours...can I install the eu rom over this chinese rom or replace it without boot loader being unlocked or do i have to wait the 120 hours before i can unlock and then wipe and reinstall eu rom?

EU isn't rom variant. They call that EU because full name is xiaomi.EU
Remember official rom branch: global, global EEA, global IN, china
Xiaomi.eu is just china miui with some mods for working with global user
