I'll have my mi5s soon and was wodering if its complicated to get it rooted like other chinese devices.
1. Unlock bootloader ( I advise you to create Mi account now and get the permission for unlock, phone not needed on this stage ).
2. Install TWRP through fastboot mode.
3. Flash Magisk/SuperSU/etc...

hi,
I have just bought New Xiaomi Mi Max Prime. I wanted to root but I went through a lot of trouble.
1) I can't root without TWRP
2) I can't install TWRP without unlocking bootloader
3)I can't unlock bootloader without contacting Xiaomi !
note that I don't want to change the ROM or do anything. I just want to simply root my device so I can use some features and Titanium backup to restore my apps from my Samsung Note 4.
can anyone kindly help me with an easy working way of rooting this device because I spent almost a full day looking for an answer trying every possible solution on the web but without luck !
phone version is Global 8.2.3.0
You should unlock your phone first after getting permissions from xiaomi. Apply to unlock and it shouldn't take a long time to approve it
Go to > http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Wait for 2 SMS Codes
Than you need the Unlock Tool BUT you must wait 72 Hours before you can unlock your Mi Max...
I have the same **** here > Unlock Tool says > 53 Hours to wait...
My device is Redmi note 5 pro
I was on China miui10 with redwolf and want to flash fastboot rom via miflash but it was done in 1 sec and all gone to vain
So I took my phone to service centre and they said warrenty voids as u unlocked bootloader
So I thought to lock bootloader via commands as miflash didn't work
So I flashed mi recovery.....:crying:
It gone to bootloop:crying:
Even thought to flash a recovery but bootloader is not recognised by the pc
Flashed ADB drivers...
Please help me
It's just 10 days old
First I think you should flash TWRP of some sort and flash AOSP based custom ROM to at least be able to boot your phone. If that's done then you can lock your bootloader (if you still want to).

post this in redmi note 5 pro forum
did you lock it or not ?
can you vol - and power to enter bunny screen fastboot ?
did you allowed usb debugging on device before bootloop ?
if still unlock with fastboot, try miflash tool with another version, seems that 1 second result is when tool do not know the phone model.
I used miflashsetupbeta
if relock than i guess it becomes very tricky if am not wrong (edl, testpin,...)here link

Hey you can still fix it if it's relocked. Just flash the proper recovery rom for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/tut-flashing-official-recovery-rom-t3798165
Or you can try to unlock the bootloader again with Miflash Unlock Tool.
My bootloader was unlocked via official methods.
My Mi Max 3 is the China version with latest 10.0.0.6.0 rom installed
I want to go over to the Global rom for now, can I install 10.0.0.1.0 (miui_MIMAX3Global_V10.0.1.0.OEDMIFH_220b8e8eab_8.1.zip) without causing any ARB triggers or problems?
You need to download the fastboot IMG not the recovery one. Go here for instructions https://en.miui.com/a-234.html
And it's really important that you don't relock your bootloader, because that bricks your phone. In MiFlash you must select the 'Clean all' option in the bottom right corner.
If you don't want any ARB issues, I recommend following my buggy vendor rom thread in the guides section. Unless you're bootloader locked, I don't see any reason for choosing global over xiaomi.eu roms.
Hello,
I have a global version of Mi Max 3 and MIUI 9.6.7 is installed. I unlocked bootloader with official method. I haven't done anything but temporarily booting TWRP with fastboot method. I haven't flashed TWRP or rooted phone yet.
I noticed Mi Max 3 started to boot very slow after unlocking bootloader. It started to stuck nearly 2 minutes on screen that writes "unlocked". It takes 3 minutes to reboot the phone. And I experienced several hangs, crashes and resets itself after bootloader unlocked. Are there any other people experience similar problems with this phone after unlocking bootloader?
If I re-lock the bootloader without touching anything (without installing TWRP, root, or upgrade current MIUI), is there any possibility to brick Mi Max 3?
Thanks for help
Hi, I bought a Mi 9 SE, and I saw it was the chinese version with the global rom (so it was unlocked).
because of this GPay wasn't working so I tried to instal twrp and magisk. The twrp I found couldn't decrypt the phone data and I didnt want to lose my data so I tried sideloading the magisk zip...
This was a bad idea beacuse the phone couldn't boot normally. I finally found a twrp version that can decrypt the phone. Then a installe magisk from the phone but it wasn't working (probably i ****ed up something in the first try)
I then try to flash with Mi Flash tool the global ROM.... but I didn't notice the "clean all and lock" was checked by default... (damn you xiaomi). So now it cannot boot with the error "this miui version can't be installed on this device"
Because i didn't unlock the bootloader myself I cannot unlock it with mi Flash Unlock tool....
Is there a way I can fix it without EDL??
For what I have found, for EDL I need the test points and maybe an account with edl permission?
Also I don't want to open the phone becuase is new.
Looks like there is no other way if bootloader does not open.you need an authorized account for edl.
Try fastboot oem unlock xd
Hello,
Today I installed ROM from xiaomi.eu (MIUI 12.6) and when I saw this i immediately want to change rom. When i choose rom I had to flash one file (vbmeta) in fastboot. An error occurred in terminal and my phone showed a message "The system has been destroyed". I can't go out to twrp, fastboot only works. I used to unlock the bootloader, but when I want to flash another rom I forgot to check "Unblock OEM" in Developer Options. So my bootloader is blocked.
I tried Mi Unlock app and when I tried to log in I have a strange verification when I want to enter an sms code.
Do you have any ideas how to unblock bootloader?
Flashing anything in fastboot don't work, because bootloader is locked.
Thanks for help.
