[Tutorial][How to] Unlock Bootloader and Install Custom Recovery and Root

Hello,
I know there are some tutorials for this already but I felt like they missed out a few steps that might not be obvious to some who are new to this.
This tutorial applies to all of Android One Device (Micromax Canvas A1, Karbonn Sparkle V Blue, Spice Mi-498 Dream Uno).
Unlocking bootloader will lead to formating of your phone. The stuff inside your sd card is safe but all your apps and their data will be deleted.
Unlocking bootloader:
1. Download Universal ADB Driver installer from here.
2. Connect your phone and run the Universal ADB Driver installer. Click 'Install' button and a warning should pop up. Just click "Install anyway" and it should 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"
}
3. Download ADT Bundle from here for Win-32 Bit and from here for 64-Bit . If you are unsure which version of windows you have just download the 32-Bit one.
4. Extract the zip file in your C:\ drive like this (You can install it wherever you like but this tutorials assumes this location for simplicity). Add adb and fastboot to system path by following this tutorial . This will allow you to run adb and fastboot commands from any location on cmdline.
3. Switch off your phone. Now, Press POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP button for about 5 seconds. A menu should appear. Note: VOLUME UP allows to navigate the menu (move down the menu). Press VOLUME DOWN button for selecting/choosing fastboot. On your phone, it should say something like
Code:
=> FASTBOOT MODE...
Connect your phone to the computer if it wasn't already.
4. (Assuming Win 7) Click on start menu > Search for 'Command Prompt' and right click and select 'Run as Administrator'.
5. On command prompt, Type:
Code:
fastboot devices
If it shows something, that means we can proceed to unlocking bootloader. Otherwise, it means that the driver was not installed correctly.
6. Now, Type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
Now, your bootloader is unlocked.
Install a custom recovery.
1. Download custom recovery from this thread.
2. Place the download file, 'recovery.img' file in C:\ drive. (Again, you can place it anywhere but this tutorial assumes this path).
3. Run the following command (Assuming already in fastboot mode again. If not, follow the above steps to go to fastboot mode). :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
After doing so, it should look like this:
4. Reboot your phone and you are done by typing:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now, you have installed CWM custom recovery. On to installing root.
Rooting your phone:
1. After installing custom recovery, download Super-Su .zip file.
2. Place the .zip file on your sd-card. If your computer doesn't show your phone as MTP device, download the drivers from here.
3. Boot into recovery, by pressing POWER OFF + Volume UP button for 5 secs and choosing Recovery by pressing Volume Down (NOTE: Use Volume UP for menu navigation)
4. After booting into recovery, Choose 'Install Zip'. You can use Volume UP and Volume Down for navigating here and Power Off button for selecting a menu item.
5. Now, select 'choose zip from /external_sd' and not '/sdcard'
6. Select the Super-Su zip file you placed on your sd card and install it.
Now, Reboot your phone. It might say something like 'su may have been removed' but ignore and press 'No'.

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Can you explain the necessity for using "fastboot format userdata" given "oem unlock" command in addition to unlocking the bootloader clears user data.

Someone in this thread reported that they got stuck on the recovery, meaning the phone boot normally.
The port maker for recovery for our phone mentioned formatting userdata command in his post, so I did the same. I didn't want newbies to experience any trouble.

nice guide ..
but I guess "add adb and fastboot to system path " shall be made optional .. this will make guide little simpler and shorter ..

Hey
Can anybody please insure any android device that has been successfully rooted by this method ? Also is waiting for towelroot worth it ??

Iam in a weird situation , I did flash many times before but I dont know how it made my device like this ... THE PROBLEM IS WITH DRIVERS and also SDcard
First I unlocked my bootloader then flashed cm11 on it ( Which was on lollipop official) and I forgot to download gapps so in connected my phone to pc only to find my computer doesnt recognise my phone it make sound but nothing shows up I tried clicking MTP again and again but nothing happens , WHEN I TRIED ADB it shows no devices in the list , I took out the sd card to copy files manually and the sd card says its write protected ..... GUYS HELP @stirredo

What are you using to read your SD card on your computer?
If you are using SD card adapter, make the sure write lock is turned off.

I did got stuck at bootloader when I dedn't format Userdata. Thanx for the tip.
---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------
When I opened SuperSu after installing SuperSu through recovery, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!"
What do I do now?

[Guide]Extracting Stock firmware files using Huawei Update Extractor/splitupdate

There seems to be a little confusion on how to do this and I've written down how to in many posts now so I figure I'd just write it down in a little guide.
What you need:
Firmware update.zip from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/
Windows only: Huawei Update Extractor
Linux/Mac(?)/(Windows too): splitupdate perl script (requires perl)
Direct link: https://mega.nz/#!4PBknJrK!iZQDI4ti6ERmQJC6afgUGTSvHHKcm9KFz9okmwwez3I
Source: https://github.com/marcominetti/split_updata.pl/tree/f5f415262be3487de28321b49dcb69d947897bf1
(Or my 'special' version https://mega.nz/#!NS4VnL7Q!5GMn-soCf_WMW6fZANd-TDzxjQkZW2LynEQtJ_TlUdU which extracts
to the same folder as 'splitupdate' instead of 'output/', and includes a mount script (Linux only, maybe Mac?) for extraction of files of the different images)
Archive extractor of your choice (7zip, winrar, winzip and so on.)
Firmware build
First you need to determine what your current firmware is, this can be done by going to 'Settings -> System -> About Phone' on your phone. Check 'Build Number'.
Mine says:
{
"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"
}
BLA-L29 8.0.0.132(C636) (Replace 8.0.0. with C636 and add a B infront of 132 )
This can be translated into BLA-L29C636B132.
Now we have our current firmware!
Info on Nougat -> Oreo
As of Oreo the partitions changed a little.
'Boot' partition was split into 'ramdisk' and 'kernel'.
'Recovery' partition was split into 'recovery_ramdisk', 'recovery_vendor' and 'recovery_vbmeta', and shares the 'kernel' partition with 'ramdisk'.
The one's you probably want to flash are 'ramdisk' and 'recovery_ramdisk'. (Ramdisk is where Magisk/SuperSU goes, recovery_ramdisk is where TWRP goes)
Firmware update.zip
In this example I will be using my firmware, BLA-L29C636B132.
First start by going to http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ and enter your full firmware in the 'Enter model', click on Find Model.
This is what it will look like after you have searched. Locate the row that says FullOTA-MF and click on the 'update' link in that row.
When it's downloaded, open update.zip in your choice of archive manager and extract UPDATE.app to your desktop or somewhere easy to find.
Huawei Update Extractor:
Download Huawei Update Extractor from the link above, it's attached to first post in that thread I linked to (v0.9.9.5).
Extract the zip to your desktop (Or Downloads folder).
Enter the newly created folder that should be named 'HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.5', and run HuaweiUpdateExtractor.exe.
Start by going to the 'Settings' tab and uncheck 'Verify header checksum'.
(Something is wrong with the header of erecovery_ramdisk, also it's mispelled to erecovery_ramdis, or maybe character limit? The partition on phone is named correctly. This does not need to be unchecked on Nougat firmware)
Then go back to the 'Extract' tab and click on the button that says '...' and open your UPDATE.APP
Rightclick on the file you want to extract and click on 'Extract Selected', this will bring up a dialog where you choose where to extract to.
After this you can flash the file using fastboot. Take 'ramdisk' for example.
Make sure you have adb & fastboot installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)
Open up a command prompt and connect phone, reboot to fastboot mode using: usb plugged in, power + vol down, release power when phone vibrates.
Or you can use the command 'adb reboot bootloader'.
Make sure phone is recognized in fastboot mode with the command: 'fastboot devices', it should show up as a fastboot device.
Next we can flash RAMDISK.img using: 'fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img'.
On Nougat you would extract 'BOOT' from UPDATE.APP and flash using:
'fastboot flash boot BOOT.img'
Linux/Mac(?)(and Windows with perl installed, I use Strawberry Perl)
First download the splitupdate zip from above.
Extract it and enter the extracted 'split' folder, open a terminal and:
'chmod +x splitupdate'
'chmod +x crc'
Now put your UPDATE.APP in the 'split' folder and open a terminal and use the following command:
'./splitupdate UPDATE.APP file_to_extract'. If you write 'file_to_extract' or anything that is or is not in the UPDATE.APP it will list all images in it.
Typing './splitupdate UPDATE.APP' will extract all files in UPDATE.APP
It will output files to the newly created 'output' folder. The filtering is not perfect. If you use './splitupdate UPDATE.APP RAMDISK', it will extract all images with RAMDISK in its name, so you will get RAMDISK.img and RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img. This is fine for me as the original script extracted everything, which takes long for the larger images.
And if you use the 'special' version:
'chmod +x simg2img'
'chmod +x mount.sh'
I edited the splitupdate script for the 'special' version just to make it easier for me as I like to check SYSTEM, VENDOR, PROCDUCT and those images for changes.
So it made it easier if it extracted directly to the root of 'split' folder instead of 'output', then I could run the mount.sh script directly.
To use mount.sh, first edit the script and replace YOUR_SUDO_PASSWORD_HERE with your password or remove 'echo YOUR_SUDO_PASSWORD_HERE | ' and input password manually when it asks.
Then simply extract SYSTEM.img (or Product, vendor, odm whichever you like) and './mount.sh SYSTEM' (yes, no extension).
This will convert SYSTEM.img to SYSTEM.raw and mount it to 'split_folder/SYSTEM/' as a loop device, it will also chmod 777 everything in SYSTEM/.
Linux ADB and Fastboot
Use google for this one. ADB usually works fine right away, Fastboot might get 'no permissions' and need to be run as sudo if it's missing udev permissions/entries.
You can make fastboot work without sudo but it's easier to google it as it might get lengthy and there are a lot of different distros of linux (I use Ubuntu)

Hi ante0, i have downloaded the bla a09 8.0.0.109 c567 which is the recent update for my US mate 10 pro version, i was using hisuite to update my phone which is failing but i was able to grab the update which it down loaded and it has the following files in it, bla-a09_hw_usa( which contains update_full_BLA-A09_hw_usa, public( which contains update_data_full_public), update.zip which contains update.app and other xml files, i have already bl unlocked and rooted with supersu but i wanted to install magisk and i installed twrp and tried sideloading magisk but it fails stating boot image already modified and advised flask stock boot, so which files do i need to flash and what are the fastboot commands to do so and i was also thinking about complete bl lock just to make it look like new phone and how do i do that, please direct me, thank you.

I think to update you'll need to:
A) Unroot your supersu.
B) Restore stock boot and restore your stock recovery with guide in OP and with the firmware files actually installed on your phone.
Then you could root oreo with magisk.

there lies my problem, i am trying to flash an updated stock firmware than the one that came with my phone, i have unrooted supersu and deleted supersu app and dont have root anymore confirmed by rootcheck apps, since my boot is already patched once magisk wont flash and advising me to flash stock boot image but i dont know which to flash as with oreo there seems to be different partitions and i dont know commands other than basic fastbbot commands to flash stuff.

ok so i was able to flash ramdisk, recovery and system and boot back to OS ( i have earlier erased system by mistake) and i have flashed system.img from updated firmware but version still shows old one, and i am trying to use funkyhuawei erecovery method to flash the updated firmware and when i boot to erecovery to update but the update button is missing and i just have rebbot, wipe date/fr and wipe cache, so what do i need to flash and commands for it in order to make erecovery work and i have update button enabled, thank you.

If you can, use the HWOTA method instead. It's free and found: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/guide-mate-10-flash-oreo-update-package-t3716814
If you can't use HWOTA and have to use Funky:
You seem to be in normal Recovery. You should see a button that says 'Download latest firmware', the one you're describing is showing buttons that are in normal Recovery.
Are you booting using Usb plugged in + vol up + power?

For some reason my phone would only boot to revovery and not erecocery, anyway i used hisuite method and was able to flash new firmware. Thank you.

I've just unbricked my Mate 10 pro via this method. Thank you Sir.

Not sure if this is the right place but where can I find the original Huawei OS it was shipped with? I installed Lineage and want to go back to Factory.
I just want to .img file. I have only unlocked the bootloader not rooted the phone.
Lack of camera and other features means I need to get back.
Any ideas?

You bricked your device because you don't know what you are doing,not because of this guide.Oh,and i thought KangRom was responsible for bricking you device....anyone else to blame ?

My phone was bricked because of Lineage OS, and i unbricked with this guide. Read my post first.

lol,i've read "bricked"... .I apologize for that!:good:

There is no way at least for the US version to find firmwares shipped with phone until now, i figured it out by connecting phone to hisuite on PC and it showed update available and i clicked update and waited until download part of update process completed and then i went to documents folder and hisuite and the app stores the download there and it will have 3 zip files, u can copy them to a different place because once the update completes those files are deleted. Might be the same for other models if supported by hisuite.

I'm not sure if symlinks will be set up correctly if you flash images directly. And some partitions can't be flashed from fastboot (like the erecovery ones)

Im now on lineage os. I didnt flash twrp and magisk. Can i only flash stock system.img to get fully stock. Or i have to flash ramdisk and boot first before system.img

Question How to flash twrp recovery and root redmi note 10s?

I can't install a twrp recovery if I tried
A message appears (remote : this partition doesn't exist)

You wont be able to find rosemary's twrps yet... But you can root this model unlocking bootloader and flashing a modified boot.img from magisk APK, you can follow this instructions to do that; (you'll need the redmi note 10 s original rom firmware to extract the boot img and you can get it from here: https://c.mi.com/es/miuidownload/detail?device=1900397)
First, extract the boot.img file from Redmi Note 10 firmware. You can use 7Zip or WinRAR.​
Now install the Magisk Manager app on your phone.​
Open the Magisk Manager app and click on the Install.
{
"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"
}
In the next step choose ‘Select and Patch a File’ from the option.
Browse and select the boot.img file, and it will start patching the boot image.​
The output file will be stored in the download folder with the name magisk_patched.img.​
Copy the patched boot image file to your computer in folder C:\adb. Also, rename the patched file to boot.img.​
Reboot your Redmi Note 10 to Fastboot mode and connect it to your computer.​
In the C:\adb folder (or platform-tools folder) press Shift + Right click on an empty area and select ‘Open Command window here’ or ‘Open PowerShell window here.’
You can check if the device is connected or not by entering the below command that should return some device id.​
fastboot devices​
Now enter the below command to flash Magisk and root Redmi Note 10.​
fastboot flash boot boot.img​
After flashing the patched boot image. reboot your device to the system.​
Install Magisk Manager if it’s not already installed.​
Complete the in-app instructions, and the device will automatically reboot into the system.​
That’s all, now your phone is rooted. You can check for root access using any root checker app. And once you have root access on your Redmi Note 10, you can enjoy all the apps and features that require root access. As you know Xiaomi phones show ads on some system apps that you can disable with root access. You can use different Xposed Modules to customize your phone. Also, you can install Xposed Framework on your phone to use modules.
Or if your system has an a/b partition you'll have to type this on your command window:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img

Or follow this page... https://mytechgyangadgets.com/how-to-root-redmi-note-10s-via-magisk-and-supersu/

Theres 2 ways to do It explained up but i prefer first one

This is a questionable part I think:
1. If your phone doesn’t have A/B partition system:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. If your phone has A/B partition system:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
Based on the Treble Check app, at least my phone, supported Seamless System Updates and is detected to have an A/B system partition => should be used 2?
This might be a reason of : "this partition doesn't exist" with 1.

#bosr you have to follow the second step pf your post yo success, It seems that note's 10 has an a/b system partition...

!! Success !!

(besides all needed drivers, adbs, proper fasboot ROM version, unlocked bootloader, little bit of a fear that the phone could be hard bricked and a few more) :
- patched boot.img via magisk manager v23
- flashed empty vbmeta.img as decribed here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/root-gained.4290689/
- flashed patched_boot.img (the latest platform-tools flashed it directly to boot_a)
- reboot
Voila, Redmi Note 10s is rooted and Magisk v23 installed

You wont be able to find rosemary's twrps yet... But you can root this model unlocking bootloader and flashing a modified boot.img from magisk APK, you can follow this instructions to do that; (you'll need the redmi note 10 s original rom firmware to extract the boot img and you can get it from here: https://c.mi.com/es/miuidownload/detail?device=1900397)
First, extract the boot.img file from Redmi Note 10 firmware. You can use 7Zip or WinRAR.​
Now install the Magisk Manager app on your phone.​
Open the Magisk Manager app and click on the Install.
In the next step choose ‘Select and Patch a File’ from the option.
Browse and select the boot.img file, and it will start patching the boot image.​
The output file will be stored in the download folder with the name magisk_patched.img.​
Copy the patched boot image file to your computer in folder C:\adb. Also, rename the patched file to boot.img.​
Reboot your Redmi Note 10 to Fastboot mode and connect it to your computer.​
In the C:\adb folder (or platform-tools folder) press Shift + Right click on an empty area and select ‘Open Command window here’ or ‘Open PowerShell window here.’
You can check if the device is connected or not by entering the below command that should return some device id.​
fastboot devices​
Now enter the below command to flash Magisk and root Redmi Note 10.​
fastboot flash boot boot.img​
After flashing the patched boot image. reboot your device to the system.​
Install Magisk Manager if it’s not already installed.​
Complete the in-app instructions, and the device will automatically reboot into the system.​
That’s all, now your phone is rooted. You can check for root access using any root checker app. And once you have root access on your Redmi Note 10, you can enjoy all the apps and features that require root access. As you know Xiaomi phones show ads on some system apps that you can disable with root access. You can use different Xposed Modules to customize your phone. Also, you can install Xposed Framework on your phone to use modules.
Or if your system has an a/b partition you'll have to type this on your command window:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img

I am not able to see boot.img file in the extracted rom. I used the same link that you had shared to download the rom. This is the file name - miui_ROSEMARYINGlobal_V12.5.5.0.RKLINXM_ab4be8a721_11.0.zip.
What is the mistake I am making?

You are searching in the wrong type of ROM. It must be the fastboot type.
for example: rosemary_global_images_V12.5.11.0.RKLMIXM_20210618.0000.00_11.0_global_06239807c1.tgz
Unpack (winrar, winzip, 7-zip ...) it, there is a folder images and boot.img in it
Do not forget to flash empty vbmeta.img first, see here

Yeah. Apologies. Just realized it.

I was able to successfully get root access using the additional step mentioned by @bosr (Thanks a lot for that). However post that I literally bricked my device trying to debloat the device by using debloater. Post removing few of the mi bloatware apps, when I rebooted and the device kept on going into default mi recovery (even with power + vol-). I was not able to access the fastboot mode at all, no matter what I do.
Then I did the ultimate blunder ... reset the device from mi recovery. Post that I lost adb privileges as well. Besides the phone would still not boot - MIUI logo flashed with sound, then a white setup screen for a sec and again reboot.
Searching online could not fetch anything. Then I tried moving the phone to mi assistance mode from mi recovery (which is nothing but sideload mode), connect to PC and used 'adb sideload'.
Voila, the phone was detected, from sideload mode, I was able to reboot to fastboot mode, and then flash the stock rom using miflashtool. Whole 4 hours of tussle.
Sharing here, just in case someone else, gets into the same situation.
!! BADLY WAITING FOR A CLEAN ROM FOR THIS DEVICE .... <Prayers>!!

It is strange.
I did it on two "10s" devices with EAA roms w/o problems.
Did you flash flash empty vbmeta.img first and boot.img than?
Did you use the latest platform-tools as previous ones are not able to flash directly to boot_a) automatically and you must use fastboot flash boot_a command instead.

Apologies for incorrect use of language. What I meant was that your instructions were 100% correct and accurate. However, post getting root access successfully and magisk installed, I tried to debloat the device using 'debloater' module under Magisk and ended up deleting some rogue apps which Mi wants us to keep. All the issues happened after that.
I have updated my original comment as well.

OK. Apology accepted

Hi Y'all,
I just got a new Note 10s and I'm willing to root device.
I'm still in the phase of waiting for the unlocked bootloader, but already trying to get all the necessary data for root.
While searching for the fastbbot Rom to extract the boot.img I discovered the follwing problem:
I can only find the fastboot Rom for the following SW: V12.5.8.0.RKLEUXM
But my Note 10s is already on V12.5.10.0.RKLEUXM. For this SW only the recovery ROM is available.
How long will it take for Xiaomi to upload the latest fastboot ROM? Or am I doing something wrong,
Any help really appreciated
Andreas

I also got a new Note 10s. I updated it to the latest available version (12.5.8.0 RKLEUXM, EEA).
Downloaded these ROMs (recovery and fastboot):
miui_ROSEMARYEEAGlobal_V12.5.8.0.RKLEUXM_b29e7c6a8a_11.0.zip
rosemary_eea_global_images_V12.5.8.0.RKLEUXM_20210617.0000.00_11.0_eea_6ec37534bb.tgz
But I didn't found any boot.img in the last fastboot one.
Finally I extracted boot.img from the first one (recovery) using payload_dumper - but what's wrong with the easier and usual way to extract it from the fastboot ROM? Isn't it available anymore inside this ROM?
@Agzyx
You could try the payload_dumper method to extract boot.img from recovery ROM.

@Mac23
payload_dumper may be a solution. I need to wait another 5 days for bootloader unlock anyway, so I have some more time before trying to gain root access.
@All
Is there a way to "downgrade" to V12.5.8.0.RKLEUXM?
Loss of data is no problem, as the phone will be rooted anyway in the future.

How To Guide [GUIDE] Beginner's guide on how to root Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet) without TWRP

I decided to make this guide since I didn't see a guide thread which explains how to root the phone.
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for ANY damage that occurs to the phone, you getting fired because the alarm app failed or the world getting nuked, etc...
Requirements:
-A unlocked bootloader (if you don't know how to unlock it, search "How to unlock bootloader Xiaomi"
-boot.img extracted from your phone's fastboot rom (MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOADED THE EXACT SAME ROM THAT YOUR PHONE HAS (Check "About phone" in settings. Make sure that the version AND the code (RK(something)XM) match, if you have MIUI).
xiaomifirmwareupdater site contains unmodified MIUI roms for your device.
-If you have a custom rom, extract the rom's zip and get the boot.img from there.
-ADB and Fastboot drivers installed on phone and PC
-SDK Platform tools downloaded from official android website. Extract the downloaded zip to desktop and rename it to platform_tools
-A Computer
-Basic understanding of CMD, ADB and Fastboot commands.
-The phone
If you see an error, scroll down to the troubleshooting section.
Steps:
(on the pc)
-Copy the boot.img file to the phone's downloads folder
(in the phone)
-Download the magisk app from the official github site
-Install the app, then open it.
-In the app, select install on the magisk card

-Select patch a file, then find and select boot.img.
-Tap "let's go".
(on the pc)
-Connect your phone to your PC and copy magisk_patched.img from the phone (should be in downloads folder) back to the pc.
-Rename the file to magisk.img, then move it to the platform_tools folder which contains fastboot.exe.
-Now reboot the phone and when the screen goes fully black, hold volume down button until you see "fastboot".
-Your phone should now be in fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the pc.
-Press win+r, then type cmd
-Type cd desktop
-Type cd platform_tools
-Type fastboot devices (if you see nothing, make sure you have adb and fastboot drivers, that the phone is connected and is in fastboot mode.)
-Type this carefully: fastboot flash boot magisk.img
-Done! Now reboot the phone by typing: fastboot reboot
-If you did everything correctly, the magisk app should say that it is installed.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
Q:Fastboot says it couldn't find "magisk.img" or CMD says fastboot doesn't exist
A: Make sure that cmd says that its in C:\Users\(name)\Desktop\platform_tools and that magisk.img is also in there.
Q: Phone is in bootloop
A: Hold volume down button until phone is in fastboot and flash stock boot.img with fastboot flash boot.img. (You will not have root access) If the phone is still somehow in a bootloop, execute the flash_all_except_storage.bat script by double clicking it (found in the sweet_(region)_images folder you extracted from the full fastboot rom .tgz file).

Very good but easier with unlocked bootloader and flashing twrp via adb flash recovery "name of twrp file". Afterwards you can flash directly magisk (I prefer 23 canary debug apk) to root.

if i may add to the troubleshooting: if it says magisk.img isn't found, just type this (after confirming connection with fastboot devices command:
fastboot flash boot
then drag and drop the patched magisk file onto the cmd window/line where you typed the command above. worked for me.

Tanks you

For beginners, "assuming bootloader is unlocked if not click here" should be mentioned.

I've searched around, and it seems to be caused by a VPN. If you use a VPN, turn it off and try again. If not, it could be that the Xiaomi unlocking API is down temporarily.

When I root my Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet) by using twrp to flash magisk 25.2 and lazyflasher-no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip, I receive following message

Nevertheless, I reboot my phone which is effectively rooted.
I can then install Magisk manager.

No need to flash lazy flasher since you already flashed Magisk. They both do the same which is to disable dm verity. Also, lazy flasher is an old zip intended for old devices so maybe that's why it failed.

THis is the stupidest guide for beginners, this article assumes you have unlocked your phone in the first place. All the important steps are just skipped and is stuffed in the requirements. And just shows simple screenshots that even a child would know where to click.

[UPDATING UPGRADE METHOD] [WORK IN PROGRESS] UPGRADE TO PIE / HARMONY 2.0 / W09 - W19 - L09

Spoiler: UPDATING UPGRADE METHOD
Hello to everyone!
Following this guide, you'll be able to rebrand your T5 to Chinese version (W09-C00 or AL00-C00), so you can upgrade to EMUI 9.1/HARMONY 2.0
(IF YOU HAVE THE HONOR PAD 5 AND YOU WANT TO UPDATE, TALK ME)
I have a T5, W19 / 3gb ram / 32 internal.
It worked for me, should work for you too, but I'm not responsible if something goes wrong (well...maybe a little).
PROCESS:
1- You need to UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER with POTATONV and you MUST CHECK "Disable FBLOCK" or you'll have problems flashing the IMGs.
(fastboot oem lock-state info - to check if FBLOCK is unlocked)

1.3- BACKUP YOUR OEMINFO USING TWRP, IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, YOU'LL NEED IT.
Follow this amazing guides to UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER:
SOFTWARE >>> CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER T5 process >>> CLICK HERE FOR THE GUIDE
SAVE YOUR BOOTLOADER CODE, YOU'LL NEED IT.
2- Download fastboot and oeminfo, extract it and flash it:
FASTBOOT FILES (USE IT):
WINDOWS: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
LINUX: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
MAC: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
OEMINFO AGS2 / C00:
W09 - W19 WIFI ONLY:
fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfoW09C00.img

fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfoags2al00c00.img
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118450716
YOU CAN ALSO USE TWRP TO FLASH OEMINFO, IF YOU DO THAT, FLASH IT AND REBOOT INTO BOOTLOADER TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS
3- Now, download and extract the zip, flash the IMGs inside and wait for the best:
FILES FOR AGS2-W09 & W19
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118449355

***Reboot into STOCK recovery and format data***
*If the above files doesn't work, try flashing the firmware with DLOAD method.
Download the zip and extract the DLOAD folder into the root of your SDCARD, reboot the tablet pressing VOL + and VOL - and wait...*
DOWNLOAD DLOAD W09-C00
DOWNLOAD DLOAD AL00-C00
4- Now, the phone should boot normally, rebranded and with the chinese firmware.
Now, go to settings and check for update, you'll see an update to PIE available.
You'll need to install all the PIE updates before the server sends Harmony, or... you can send the Harmony update directly with this:

Hmm, tried to do this but fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfoags2al00c00.img failed. No big deal I did it through TWRP.
Next fastboot flash system system.img but also failed
Sending sparse 'system' 1/6 (412324 KB) OKAY [ 12.720s]
Writing 'system' FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Bootloader shows PHONE Unlocked and FRP Unlocked both in red.
What am I missing?

@Sleeepy2 Hello, I'm talking with a guy that has the same problem, can't flash oeminfo and system with fastboot.
Same as your tabket, FPR and bootloader unlocked.
I was thinking that maybe in one of the latest huawei updates, they (huawei) changed something (security patches), because I never had that problems and I haven't updated to the latest security patch that huawei released...
You can try sending the firmware with EMUI Flasher https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118451775
But should download the firmware from this page https://professorjtj.github.io/ look for
AGS2-AL00 - C00AGS2-AL00 8.0.0.215(C00)

@sfoot13 Can't use the EMUI flash yet, as I tried flashing system through TWRP and it failed now can't boot. lol
I've found the firmware on that page but I don't know how to down load it. Clicking the 3 dot menu opens the Downlad ROM window but it doesn't work, says to use the HISuite.Proxy. If I run that and click the link, it shows 3 zips but clicking on any of them doesn't download.
Clicking the Add Rom shows up in HISuite.Proxy but I still don't see a way to download it.
I think I figured out how I am supposed to use the ROM but it doesn't work. Run the Proxy, go to website and click add and it shows up in the proxy. Then open HiSuite connect tablet and click Update. It shows a new version is available however clicking update it instantly goes to Failed to update.
Well if I read the op closer it actually has a link explaining how to use the proxy.
I have flashed the oem file through TWRP, used the proxy to download the 8.0.0.215 rom but wile HiSuite is "installing" Proxy said it's probably not going to work. When the tablet reboots to install it says software update failed

@Sleeepy2 if you flashed the oeminfo, you can flash the system with Emui Flasher, even if you're using linage os or any gsi, because you just need to download the oreo firmware, copy it to internal memory, open emui flasher and select the firmware zip.
To download the firmware directly from the page, you need to click in the box with the three dots ... and you'll see the option to download (always with hisuite proxy open)

ugh, well I think I pooched it now.
I started over and got linage os flashed and rooted. EMUI Flasher couldn't find any files in any folder to flash.
Rebooted back into TWRP and flashed the oeminfo now it only boots into eRecovery or stock recovery, no sign of TWRP.
Booted back into fastboot to try and just flash TWRP again.
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP_3.5.2-prague_DarkJoker360_20210508.img
Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (14894 KB) OKAY [ 0.398s]
Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')
fastboot: error: Command failed
eRecovery wont download and install stock anymore. I am going to give up for today.

Ugh, well I guess my tablet is done. Fastboot wont flash recovery and eRecovery
Getting package info failed"
If any one has any suggestions, that would be great.
I just did the oem unlock again from fastboot even though it said it was unlocked. After I did that it automatically rebooted into TWRP and I was able to flash my oeminfo back and it was good to go again.

I've gone through all the the steps successfully, however when I check for updates I don't see any?
What could be wrong?

Successfully? Really? Great.
Well, if you installed oeminfo and the IMGs and you formatted data and it booted, go to settings and tell me the version it says.

Not working for me. flashing oeminfo failed using fastboot. Same problem than Sleeepy2
Any clear explanation will be appreciated. I'm not a specialist.
In fact, I'm a little bit a specialist because I've unlocked bootloader and FRP. I've also installed LineOS 18.1

@bedelaitre I'll rewrite it, maybe it will work for everyone.
One thing, you're not able to flash some imgs, because you need to unlock again your bootloader with PotatoNV and CHECK THE BOX "DISABLE FBLOCK", after that you'll be able to flash system and others img, but that means, you'll need to open again the tablet...

Hello to everyone!
Following this guide, you'll be able to rebrand your T5 to Chinese version (W09-C00 or AL00-C00), so you can upgrade to EMUI 9.1/HARMONY 2.0
(IF YOU HAVE THE HONOR PAD 5 AND YOU WANT TO UPDATE, TALK ME)
I have a T5, W19 / 3gb ram / 32 internal.
It worked for me, should work for you too, but I'm not responsible if something goes wrong (well...maybe a little).
PROCESS:
1- You need to UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER with POTATONV and you MUST CHECK "Disable FBLOCK" or you'll have problems flashing the IMGs.
(fastboot oem lock-state info - to check if FBLOCK is unlocked)
View attachment 5597429
1.1- Check that FRP is UNLOCKED
1.2- CHECK that HISUITE is installed (for drivers) >>> CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
1.3- BACKUP YOUR OEMINFO USING TWRP, IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, YOU'LL NEED IT.
Follow this amazing guides to UNLOCK your BOOTLOADER:
SOFTWARE >>> CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER T5 process >>> CLICK HERE FOR THE GUIDE
SAVE YOUR BOOTLOADER CODE, YOU'LL NEED IT.
2- Download fastboot and oeminfo, extract it and flash it:
FASTBOOT FILES (USE IT):
WINDOWS: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
LINUX: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
MAC: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
OEMINFO AGS2 / C00:
W09 - W19 WIFI ONLY:
fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfoW09C00.img
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118449368
L09 LTE (don't know if it will work on L03):
fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfoags2al00c00.img
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118450716
YOU CAN ALSO USE TWRP TO FLASH OEMINFO, IF YOU DO THAT, FLASH IT AND REBOOT INTO BOOTLOADER TO CONTINUE THE PROCESS
3- Now, download and extract the zip, flash the IMGs inside and wait for the best:
FILES FOR AGS2-W09 & W19

FILES FOR AGS2-L09
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118459545
Flash this files in FASTBOOT
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash kernel kernel.img
fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash version version.img
***Reboot into STOCK recovery and format data***
*If the above files doesn't work, try flashing the firmware with DLOAD method.
Download the zip and extract the DLOAD folder into the root of your SDCARD, reboot the tablet pressing VOL + and VOL - and wait...*
DOWNLOAD DLOAD W09-C00
DOWNLOAD DLOAD AL00-C00
4- Now, the phone should boot normally, rebranded and with the chinese firmware.
Now, go to settings and check for update, you'll see an update to PIE available.
You'll need to install all the PIE updates before the server sends Harmony, or... you can send the Harmony update directly with this:
https://professorjtj.github.io/ (AGS2-W09 - C00) (AGS2-AL00 - C00)
https://github.com/ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy/wiki/Complete-Guide (follow instructions, very easy to use)
Upgrading to Pie/Harmony locked my bootloader, but if you saved your code, write it again and unlock it again ^.^
Thanks to @Fosanz for its help.
Thanks to @Rockel for the detailed guide to unlock the bootloader. Go to the post
Thanks to @iceows for the script and steps to edit the oeminfo: Go to the link
Thanks to @oslo83 for helping me to fix the mess that I caused to my tablet.

Good morning !
Sorry for my broken english, i have a huawei mediapad t5 tablet with 3 giga ram exactly like yours.

I thank you in advance.

Hi, sorry for delay. I don't understand why I need to unlock the bootloader. When booting, the tablet says that the bootloader is unlocked. Are you sure I need to unlock it again ?
