I would follow Magisk's official Installation Instructions. Let me know if you have any questions after reading through it.

Thanks friend
I've read it well, but I don't know where to get boot.img for my device.
Is there a video explanation about this subject?

According to the instructions:
If your device has boot ramdisk, get a copy of the boot.img (or init_boot.img if exists).
If your device does NOT have boot ramdisk, get a copy of the recovery.img.
You should be able to extract the file you need from official firmware packages or your custom ROM zip.

I'm trying to figure out how to find stock firmware for your device now.

Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, due to Sony cracking down on the beta program, it's impossible to share the new Beta firmware with everyone. @niaboc79 asked me if I could try to do a system dump and surprisingly, it worked fine with ADB.
I'm not really sure what you guys can do with it but I thought I may as well share it with everyone so you'll find it in the link at the end of this post.
I'm uploading it to Mega right now, it's pretty heavy (over 2 gigs) so please be patient but I should think it'll be ready in an hour or so.
Update: link provided at the bottom of the post
Have fun with it and if it is of any help, I'll post future Beta system dumps if and when they become available.

@jamesbdx we need boot.img bro back it up and upload please.thank you
It will be better if he could back it up as .img files than we can easily flash it. Because it is not so easy to flash system folder. But maybe it isn't possible I don't know. I'm now trying something but it probably won't work.

Not some tutorial or something to install it, it was a question, as he mentions that works with ADB
Why do you guys keep posting these questions in development section? Its clearly written that its a system dump from the new Beta update.
ITS IS NOT A ROM, this is not ready for users to flash, this is a dump for developers to work with and hopefully create a working flashable ROM.
Please dont spam and wait for a flashable version.
People just dont like to read op or comments,anyway this will probably go out of beta in a week or two,same as last update did.Why such haste then,just dont brick your phones guys by trying to get this FW in weird ways,there will be a flashable soon
I don't know if it's possible to extract the boot.img without su privileges, if it is can someone provide me with how to do it and I'll gladly help.
And yeah, it's pretty obvious that this isn't a rom but it's harmless in the sense that in the current state, nobody can actually flash anything accidentally and brick their phone. So, I'm leaving it up as it is and people can do whatever they want, I'd be happy if a rom could be made out of this but I certainly don't pretend to have the skills to do it myself which is also why I'm only sharing what I can.

After an update to last cm, cm recovery overwrite twrp. Is there a way to have twrp again?

That is probably because you enabled an option in Developer options, namely "Update Cyanogen recovery". Again, read instructions and you will know how to flash TWRP.

This is offtopic. Google the instruction, there are a lot of sites available which can help, I am sure XDA has a dedicated thread. If you do not like to read search on YouTube.
This is what I found after searching 5 seconds. http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/12/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-cm-13-android-device/

Cmon man, like, there's a whole guide of flashing TWRP out there. Even in this Mi5 forum.
You should really put an effort to read and search before you start asking retorical question in a wrong thread....

Then I advise you not to root if you are not willing to put in the effort of researching beforehand. The last thing you need is a 200$ paperweight thought that is highly unlikely with this device.
The process of rooting itself is never that complicated, but it's aimed at the enthusiast who is willing to put the time into research and troubleshooting. If you lack the will, then this would be a major waste of time.
