[ROOT] [MAGISK] How to root

Just wanted to inform you, that rooting with Magisk works like a charm. Even without TWRP.
What you need:
Magisk Manager: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
boot.img from your ROM (prepatched boot.img for CN_V10.0.11.0 ROM here: https://filebase.philipp.technology/filebase/index.php?page=Entry&entryID=19)
Unlocked Bootloader
ADB and Fastboot on your PC (Simple ADB & Fastboot Installer: https://filebase.philipp.technology/filebase/index.php?page=Entry&entryID=5)
Installation:
Install MagiskManager.apk on your Smartphone
---SKIP IF YOU USE THE PREPATCHED BOOT.IMG---
Put the unpatched boot.img on your phone
Open MagiskManager and Click "Install"
Select "Patch boot.img" and choose the boot.img with your file manager
Copy the "patched_boot.img" file on your PC
---CONTINUE HERE---
Now connect your Mix 3 to the PC and boot in fastboot mode (over the command line: adb reboot bootloader)
Navigate with the command line to your folder, where you saved the patched_boot.img
Now flash the patched_boot.img file with fastboot: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
If the flash is successfull you can reboot the phone with fastboot reboot
Open the MagiskManager and verify that Magisk is installed and your phone is rooted.

Thanks so much! Will try this out! Nice work!

Thanks, after i root my mix 3 can i flash the xiaomi.eu rom on it too without problems ?

Normally you don't need root to flash Xiaomi.eu ROM, just TWRP. But there is no TWRP yet. You could try "Flash Fire", but I don't know if it would work. Never did that before. If you try it make sure, that you have USB Debugging enabled and know how to use common tools like MiFlash etc.
If you are unexperienced wait for TWRP.

I used TWRP before and Rooted before too but i never used Flash Fire or Flashify. I don't know how hard it would be to use them.

Please report back your success and how it goes for you!

Hi PJF16
How did you get the boot.img from your device without root? I'd love to make a unmodified copy before trying this out

I got it from the fastboot ROM which I also uploaded to the forum. See here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-mix-3/development/xiaomi-mi-mix-3-fastboot-roms-t3869532

Tested and 100% working! Recommended

Patched boot is much smaller than it should be and after flashing and fastboot reboot command, phone goes back to fastboot mode

It's normal that the patched boot.img is smaller.

But this is quite smaller than usual and, anyway, it doesn't boot after flashing

Anyone have any issues with v4A magisk module? After I flashed it I lost the ability to turn on wifi. Wondering if anyone else has had that issue.

where can i find the pre patched boot img of 10.0.12.0?

Just use the one for 10.0.11.0.

OUTDATED***[GUIDE] Basic guide to flash a recovery and a rom via recovery in Mi A3.

This is a basic guide to flash a rom via recovery in Mi A3 as title says.
Is created to help all those that want but can't.
Please read before act, and if you don't understand....well read again.
Mi A3 is a device with treble support, and while is not difficult to flash a rom,is a little bit tricky process.
So here are the detailed steps to do achieve that.
First things first, you've got to have your bootloader unlocked. Follow below steps to do that:
-Enable developer options by going to settings/about phone and clicking 5 times on build number.
Inside developer options:
-Find and enable OEM unlocking.
-Find and enable USB debugging.
In adb tools type:
-
Code:
adb devices
reboot to bootloader.
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock bootloader(you will lose all your data).
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
When the device reboot, boot once again in fastboot by powering off then power on while pressing vol down button.
Type command to full unlock bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Proceed to recovery flash
Notice that you've got to have all files ready, either inside external sd or in your pc. All files are at the end of this thread as links or attachments.
Also i'm suggesting OrangeFox recovery for now because is the most stable.
-First you following the orangefox recovery installation guide:
- Download the OrangeFox zip file from here or the link at the end and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)
- Extract the recovery.img from the zip and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC
- Open a cmd line and execute these commands (being on that folder, of course):
-
Code:
adb devices
(to make sure your device is detected)
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(to reboot into fastboot mode)
-
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
(to check what's your current active slot)
-
Code:
fastboot set_active b
(if your active slot was a, if it was b then change it to a)
-
Code:
fastboot erase boot
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img [b](OR WHATEVER NAME YOUR RECOVERY HAVE)[/b]
-
Code:
fastboot reboot
(NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo.
-->> By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System <<--
- Install the OrangeFox zip (always install the latest build available and always keep a copy of recovery zip file in your external sd)
- Change slot to the one that was active on the beginning of these steps and reboot to Recovery (just to make sure that the slot, in fact, was changed)
After orangefox recovery is installed, you are ready to flash your rom.
You can move your rom files inside your external or internal memory(prefer external to avoid deleting them accidentally).
To do that you can either do it before the whole procedure, or after the recovery installation since you have mtp and adb available.
Copy them drag them or push them via adb(i'm not going to extend the adb push command here)
Now the flashing steps:
-Go to partition manager inside orangefox recovery and select data/format data(red button) and press format.Type YES.
-Go back and find the rom file inside your target directory(internal or external).
-Select the rom file and flash it.
-DO NOT REBOOT.
-Go back where you have the orangefox zip file, select it and flash it.
-Leave the device as is because after the installation it will reboot itself to recovery once again.
-Once the recovery starts again go to the target folder that you have the remaining files.
-Flash magiskV20.zip (if you want your device to be rooted).
-Flash Gapps if there are any or skip this step if your ROM provider have them included.
-Flash patchnofde10 zip to avoid data encryption(if you don't do that the rom will NOT boot).
-Reboot to system and enjoy.
All files are available to the links below.
Patchnofde file is attached to this post.

Okay I got it to boot to Havoc OS but my wifi and gsm calls stopped working. Also videos were flashing during playback. I guess I was doing something wrong during the whole flashing process and the device ended up without the correct firmware.
I have reverted back to stock using one of the fastboot ROM flashing scripts and everything is fine, though I would like to go Android 10 without GAPPS if possible.

Thank you very much for the guide. Do you recommend any backup with orange box? If I want to revert to stock rom, do I need to know something?

How could I update the ROM?

That's because you didn't follow it to the letter.
You have to flash Patchnofde to boot to rom.

Same as above.
If you don't flash patch for the encryption, you ll end up to recovery again. Also I recommend to read carefully the steps with the recovery flashing. You have to be sure that the slot is what it was at the beginning.
A out the Android backup, yes. You can take and restore backups freely.

Hello,
@sotmax
Thank you for your guide.
@ANyOne i have unlocked the bootloader, but after that, when i'm in fastboot mode, i'm not being detected by the adb devices command. Any idea why ?

Because ADB and fastboot are different modes and using different commands. In fastboot use "fastboot devices".

Question How to root without twrp

My problem is that I have installed a custom rom that is no longer in support in XDA .
So when I tried to to boot using fastboot boot twrp.img command my device won't boot in twrp therefore I am not able to install twrp hence magisk is still not working.
Is there any other way to root my mi 11x witouht using custom recovery.

Yes. It's the twrp fastboot method.
1. First of all you need the boot.img from your ROM. For a fastboot ROM it's in the Images folder. For an OTA you have to use a payload.bin extractor.
2. Then install the magisk manager app and use patch boot.img
3. Then install the patched boot.img through fastboot

Maybe they used the wrong boot.img for their ROM. Are you using MIUI? If so it may be more difficult as you've got to get the correct version from firmware finder. Even then magisk might not like your MIUI install. I've heard people running custom ROMs able to install magisk on Mi11X. E.g HavocOS, ArrowOS etc
This is the only way to install magisk properly at the moment
Edit: if you prefer MIUI there is another alternative by flashing on of the improved MIUI ROMs (they just take MIUI and add slightly extra features and improve performance). I can't link the telegram group on XDA but you can PM me

To install twrp do this:
(pre requisites)
-driver for f3 installed;
-adb and fastboot or platform tool (preferable) on the pc;
-usb debugging enabled on the phone.
Therefore:
1) download the .img file of the twrp you want to install, I used this:
Downloads for : Xiaomi Redmi K40 / Poco f3 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
2) rename the file to twrp.img (for convenience);
3) move the trwp.img file to the adb and fastboot folder (if you use adb) or to the platform tool folder (if you use platform);
4) always in the same folder open a cmd window (go to the address bar, type cmd and press enter);
5) after activating usb debug on the phone, turn it off, start it in fastboot (long press of Power + volume -) and connect it to the pc;
6) check if fastboot recognizes the phone with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your phone code appears you can start it in twrp.
7) to start it in twrp type this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
8) now the phone should automatically boot into twrp, so go to Advanced> Flash Current TWRP
done, you should now have twrp installed. for the root there is this guide:

Question Devices not detected after install Fastboot ROM

I try to install fastboot rom with MiFlashTool, this is my FastbootROM nabu_global_images_V14.0.3.0.TKXMIXM_20230306.0000.00_13.0_global_80c69df295.tgz
After i flash with MiFlashTool, the process is never end, but my Mi Pad 5 restarting without any reason in middle of flashing, but the process keep going, then i close the MiFlashTool, after that i try to fastboot devices in my platform tools directory, now my Mi Pad completely undetected in my PC, also in MiFlashTool now not detected
I can still open Recovery and Fastboot mode, but in Fastboot mode i cant do anything because my PC cant detect my devices, also i try with my other PC but still not detected, maybe the main reason this happend is because i terminate the MiFlashTool during process because i saw my Mi Pad restarting, any help for this issue ?

It indicates that your bootloader is still full functional. Otherwise recovery wouldn't boot anymore.
- Windows device manager shows what?
- output of 'fastboot devices'?

Your download is only a recovery ROM and not the full fastboot ROM. Full fastboot ROM:
MiPad 5 – MIUI Download Xiaomi Official ROM

Ok, a recovery zip is only flashable in a recovery. It's like any other flashable zip for TWRP, i.e. a Magisk installer zip or sth else. These zips need a shell to execute their commands. Fastboot is only for flashing single images via cmd line on your PC.
Download the full fastboot ROM. It's a *.tgz-archive that needs to be unpacked for the Mi Flash Tool (v2).

Install the Magisk app, extract the boot.img from inside your firmware and patch it with Magisk. Then flash the patched boot.img with fastboot flash boot "your patched image" and start your device.
