Now i have redmi note 5 global version 4GB/64GB running Miui 10.2 , I will unlock bootloader now and then install a custom rom. I have read alot about anti rollback and still cannot understand it and am afraid to brick my phone. My questions are :
What is the suitable twrp to install after unlocking bootloader?
Will i face rollback problems?
What after imstalling twrp?
Xan i choose any custom rom in threads to try it then try flashimg another rom?
Please help me
First request the bootloader unlock because sometime it can take upto a month (720 hours) for new accounts. After unlock install the Redwolf Twrp recovery because it's the best and than install any custom rom but don't ever go back to any MIUI version below 9.5.19 otherwise you will endup bricking your phone for downgrading from ARB4 to ARB3. Custom roms works fine no issues with ARB

You can go back to any MIUI version it's ok as long as you install ARB4 versions of MIUI 9 or 10 and they start from 9.5.19+ so never ever go for any version below that.
So i just unlock bootloader, install redwolf twrp, then install any custom rom?
You mean that rollback problems happen only when going back to miui rom? I mean if i changed from a custom rom to another, will i have any rollback problems?
Second thing, how to root?

Rollback will not apply to custom ROMs but avoid flash any arb3 firmware file
Flash magisk to gain root access

laos and aosp theres no antirollback only in miui base roms. like miui official.. miui pro.. read the threads cause there are roms that are base on miui but dont touch ARB.. example is masik..
for root flash magisk or in orangefox recovery there magisk already incorporated in twrp..
So should I install orangefox TWRP or redwolf TWRP or what?
Please orangefox or redwolf?

Hey guys.
I have installed 6.10.13 MIUI 8.1. When i bought my mi5s phone they installed me that rom and told me that my bootloader is unlocked.
So my question is for someone to write me steps of installing lastest version of european rom. And i didnt find any rooting guide so I would be grateful if someone write me that.
Thanks in advance.
Rooting
You don't have to root the phone to flash custom ROM but be sure that bootloader is unlocked. Boot to fastboot and check: fastboot oem device-info. I have never used Roms from Xiaomi.eu because in general their rooms are Chinese weekly -chinese AP's + more system languages. English is fine for me.
There is a installation guide on site: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-11-10.36056/

Well, it is a ROM from reseller a modified Chinese I guess. Version 8.0.10.0.0. As everything works fine I will keep it as long as some better alternative comes. I have been reading about the others who switched to original Chinese but afterwards regretted they did it. If I were you, before you try some other ROM, I would flash custom recovery TWRP and save/backup current ROM you have now, just in case.
The other option is to flash original Chinese developer ROM and then root the phone and finally get rid of Chinese thrash.
Best luck!

OK. Thanks.
I just realized that they installed me twrp recovery 3.0.2 . Also checked that I have unlocked bootloader .
If I install that weekly rom, what will happen with my data?(will i lose data or it just wipe system and put newer version)
So my last question is how to root mi5s.
I saw in twrp that there is SuperSu option, is this one of ways to root phone?
I prefer eu rom have more optimization just download rom on your phone boot in twrp volume up and power install rom and after that wipe cash data is untouched. Reboot system phone will need some time to boot because it build cash and after that it start to optimize installed applications. It's really simple.

For root install latest super su in twrp...
Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
Thanks for answer.
But I want to be sure, Should i install su from twrp or I need to download and put zip in phone and then install?
Sry for being annoying and asking probably stupid question but I dont want to brick my device already hahah.
One more stupid question, I install SU after rom install?
Ok
Always make back up in twrp in case something happen..
I didn't root my phone but i root all phones that i have before.
So install rom first in twrp than flash super su in twrp all zips need to be on phone. I download everything that i need on phone directly...

all is in the title can we install custom rom on it ? or i need to downgrade ?
Um ... What?
Your question doesn't make sense.
Open Beta 8 is a ROM. You don't install ROM "on" another ROM ... You can overwrite it though (in this case you won't have OB8 any more).

May be take a look at Multirom thread. That's what you may be looking. AFAIK
No i mean like do we need to downgrade to MM for having the possibility to install custom rom beacause if we downgrade without the help of oneplus support or something like that it might brick the devices

The only thing you need is an unlocked bootloader with the correct version of a custom recovery (ie. TWRP) to install custom (and stock) ROMs. You may want to take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733 for more information.

Thx but its not this i already know how to install custom rom and everything its just i dont know if we can install custom rom on OP8 beacause of bootloader who have change beacause oneplus said to not downgrade to MM without their help so if i install cm 13 or cm 14 i dont know if it will work and not brick my op3 ( even if we can recover it )
It's not the bootloader, it's the f2fs /data that can be problematic if you downgrade.

And this issue can be resolved by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-downgrade-to-mm-flashing-ob8-t3511161.
I believe most people will recommend that you go back to an MM ROM before flashing anything else as @simcax has mentioned the issue with the data partition.
Thanks for taking time respond to me and for your answer !
I'm gonna unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, root MIUI 10.0.4 with Magisk and enable Camera2API tomorrow. After doing that am I gonna be able to update MIUI through Official OTA updates?

I've finally unlocked bootloader and now I have MIUI 10.0.4 with TWRP, Magisk and Pixel 3 Camera + Night Sight working! I checked and my phone have ARBV4 enabled, I'm scared of updating MIUI. I will only upgrade if the next stable update is very good, because there's a very high chance that I'll have to root again with Magisk.

does twrp official supports OTA.?
OrangeFox detects OTA Miui packages and patches them when installed, preventing the recovery from being replaced.

The new Gcam is totally worth it! It's the phone we love, but better. We don't have an official developer to our phone, but BSG (the main developer) ported the latest Gcam with Night Sight (NS) working on Android 8.1. You can take amazing photos that can't be taken with the stock camera. Here you can find the latest Gcam releases: GCAM Port
I attached some NS shots (no editing and without tripod)!

With TWRP you can't update OTA. With OF and RW you can but you lose the root. This is not a problem because you can root it again with magisk throuth OF or RW.

You'll be just fine, just if you have Magisk, make sure you have Magisk-x.x.zip in your internal storage when you do OTA update through TWRP recovery. But don't download OTA update through MIUI OS, go to the MIUI website, download latest OTA update full package, put that zip file in your internal storage as well, and lazy flasher.
Reboot into TWRP, adveced wipe, wipe Dalvik cash and cash, go back, Install - install that OTA update you downloaded earlier, again, back, install - Magisk-x.x.zip, back, install lazy flasher, but don't forget to install lazy flasher, i think it's a must. And you're updated. Good luck :good:

KEEP THE stock recovery INTACT
boot in to OF/RW or twrp via fb command
fastboot boot twrp.img ....(sample)
and your phone will boot in to twrp! now Flash rom! and reboot!
this way you can have OTA

If you have MIUI 10.2.1 then no data/cache wipe using OrangeFox recovery when updated to MIUI 10.2.2. I have updated it with no issues or data loss. From MIUI 9 to MIUI 10, it may required to clear cache.

second. i never liked stock roms so again... if i put twrp i can flash whatever rom i want or there are steps every time so i wont brick the phone? thank u guys for ur time
dont do it
For rooting stock ROM, you can flash twrp and flash magisk but you should be careful to pick a recovery which is for android 10 and also not for CFW.
For flashing custom roms, you should read the megathread. It's not very complicated and if you follow the exact steps, you will not get bricked.

It's all explained in the megathread, sir. For custom ROMs you need CFW recovery but for you to be on CFW you need to flash CFW with a non-CFW recovery.
Best way to do it is in the CrDroid post.
Have a nice day!
tl;dr: flash Android 9 then megathread

i tried rooting with magisk on latest android 10 miui 11 , basically you will fail safetynet and basic integrity will fail as well you can try to hide fingerprint with magisk busybox and props module and type su to give termux root access and edit fingerprint to pixel 4 but it's not guaranteed i don't know if there is google attestation hardware in begonia anyways you can try.
here's a pic from pixel experience safetynet.(not rooted)

Hey, I've been trying to root my OPPO A12 for the past few days. I tried almost every method I found on different websites, but it seems not possible to root this phone. I even tried to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP (I found out later that there's no custom recovery compatible with this device) but I can't load into fastboot mode. Pls tell me if rooting CPH2083 is possible or not, if yes I'd appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Rooting means gaining full acess on your phone and you do that for a specific reason and most of the reason is installing custom rom and if there is no custom rom then there is no profit.
And magisk is an app by which you can root your phone and install modules like viper4android which increases sound quality and other modules like that .
I would recommend not to root the phone. You can root after there is a custom recovery or rom

oppo a12 bootloader can be unlocked with the hydra tool. A new update comes from the hydra tool which claims that they can unlock the bootloader of oppo a12. You can see this by this latest update
Has anyone tried the hydra tool on an oppo device? I am looking into it. I hate my oppo because of the missing bootloader.
Sorry. XDA messed up. I did not want to post twice.
