Mi Mix 2 ROOT without erasing data - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

So I had MIUI 10.0 installed including magisk. I'm not using TWRP so I can update through updater app.
Now I updated to 10.3.5 but didn't keep in mind that magisk will be deleted.
Is there now a way I can install magisk (or any other root app) without flashing a new rom and keeping all my data?
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: There are many "one-click-root" apps out there. Are there any good?

Just use xiaomi eu and have twrp installed. Ota updates are really not that important. I dont like stock miui as it drains battery a lot and performs so bad, just try other custom miui based roms and im sure you will like it.
Apps like kingroot, 1 click root are for old android phones and some other non famous devices. Companies like xiaomi will take their caution against these applications as like they made you activate your phone if you flash custom miui roms(in case where you dont factory reset and go for system wipe)

I already tested two custom roms which I liked but there weren't newer version from them. I wanted MIUI 10 so I went back to stock rom.
Can you recommend me some MIUI 10 custom roms? Didn't check any new stuff for almost a year now...

I think that you can easily find answers for your questions on this forum?

Xiaomi eu gets china updates every friday(9.5.x version).
RevolutionOS gets updated every month.
You cant ota update tho(gives error for me). I update the rom once a month or if i see an important change in the changelogs. No need to wipe user data, just caches.
I would go for eu as they provide frequently as stock miui and better in battery-performance. Not to mention they got a solid community and a big forum unlike most of the others. Also you can use an eas kernel called skizo with it. You can find the latest skizo in Telegram group. Contact @spak for his announcement channel.

Thanks for your recommendation, gonna look into it!

I've installed the xiaomi.eu rom now and I absolutely like it! Battery performance is indeed better. Only question I have now is how do I update it?
Last time I updated my rom I used the updater app which ****ed up my phone...Can I safely use the updater app or do I have to update through TWRP?

Hello There!
I currently have a T-mobile Note 3 Phone working with Metro PCS (Yes I switched the carrier) and everything seems to be working fine so far.
My phone is currently rooted and I also sucessfully flashed W03 SlimKat 27.1 so far I love this ROM.
My current kernel version is: 3.4.0 W03 Slim Kernel Tuesday Oct 7 2014.
Do you think I need this kernel update?: CAF-W03-Slim hlte v1.0i (10/10/2014)
If so, can you please tell me how to succesfully flash this kernel update? Do I need to wipe/clean the current kernel before installing this update?

You just flash it like a ROM, no need to wipe anything, just flash. You'll get to a menu asking for options, if in doubt, stay with the default and just hit next.
If you want to get back your current (stock ROM) kernel, just reflash the ROM without wiping anything and you're back.
It's always a good idea to make a nandroid backup, you never know

Hello There!
Just in case I wiped the cache and delvik cache before flashing your custom kernel.
I followed the menu options and I only flashed the kernel (your custom kernel) since I thought if I flash something else I will have to re do the settings and install my phone apps again.
If I want to go back to the default ROM's Kernel, just flash the W03 ROM and that's all? without wiping or deleting anything? How about my phone settings and apps? Will they still be there?

Yep.
But if you just flash my kernel (first menu choice) you're mostly on stock and don't profit from any of the benefits.
Reflash and go through the menus, just hit "Next" till you're through.
To get back, just reflash the ROM without wiping.
Your settings won't get lost.
But as I said, you should make a backup, it's always the safest thing to do.

First of all, thank you for your quick tech support.
I did reflash your custom kernel and this time many windows options appeared and I just hit next until the end.
Everything seems to be working fine but can you please in a user friendly language tell me 3 o 5 simple facts of the benefits of flashing your kernel?
Also what is Wipe Cache and Delvik cache? I read somewhere else that it is a good idea to do this in order to install a new kernel .

Well you do use :
- different governor (handles CPU frequency)
- different hotplug driver (faux's intelliplug, that's handling CPU on-/offlining)
- touchwake (allows to wake the device by touching the screen when it times out)
- fastcharge (allows charging faster on USB chargers)
- etc. etc.
Might be worth having a read here and then here (Changelogs).
Dalvik cache wiping for kernels is useless, it won't hurt, but you'll lost time as you'll have to wait for it to be rebuilt on boot ("Android is updating your apps..."), cache partition can be usefull in my kernel's case, as it will help Aroma with an issue that sometimes settings don't get generated, so that you can do, won't cost much time. But in general for all kernels not using Aroma (menu system you saw while flashing), there's no need.

Hello, I would love to test Google's new Inbox on this GEM of a Rom. Anyone have an invite ?
Inviato dal mio SM-N900W8
I'm currently running v27. Is it safe to dirty flash to 28? Do I need to flash to 27.1 first?
Also I've noticed that video playback freezes occasionally when I seek repeatedly. Is this a common issue? Does it get fixed in the new release?
My smart cover only activates while closed and power button is pressed and not through calls. Is there an option to enable smart phone covers or has it not been implemented?
Safest way to update from V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel to V28?
I have a similar question:
I am currently running V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel but I would like to try out this V28 ROM update but I don't want to download and install my apps and settings all over again since they are a lot.
I am also using Nova Launcher and it looks like Nova Launcher was remove from V28.
Does any body know what will be the safest way to update from V27.1 (with Yank555 Kernel) to V28 (with the Stock kernel)?
Has development stopped on this rom? Not getting any news updates. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a legit SM-N9006 3g Chinese variant on a touchwiz 4.4.2 rom, I am kind of new to roms and I'm wondering if the Slimkat rom would work for my phone. Thank you very much
Does this rom work on international note 3?
protected apps v28
I'm really liking this ROM. Great job.
I wanted to know if the protected apps feature is still in this ROM somewhere. If so, I can't seem to find it. Or, was it stripped out?
Hi everyone
I've been reading alot about this ROM and I really want to give it a shot
problem is ,, I have CWM recovery installed ,, can I use it to flash or TWRP is a must?
go easy on me, I'm a noob in all sense of the word
edit: boy.. looks like the last question to be answered was 6 months ago!!
Hi guys. I'm pretty new at this whole flashing thing and I've been working on a Note 3 (N900T) my uncle wasn't using anymore. I have been working on this for a few days now and this is the first thread I've come across that has a lot of success. I'd appreciate the help. I've tried to install the ROM from this thread but I got "e: failed to verify whole-file signature" when trying to install. Here's what I've done so far.
Wiped cache/user data.
run the ROM from the SD card (fat32) then that's when i get the error message.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Pre-Sales question

Hi all,
I am completely new to the Xiaomi world (I prefer stock Android and easy root usually), but I got an excellent offer to buy this beast today.
I will buy this device, only if the following is possible.
- Unlock bootloader
- Root with Magisk
- Pass Safetynet check
- Install AFWall
- Install Adaway
Has anybody done this yet?
I don't want to know "how" (I can ask/figure out that later). I just want to know whether it is possible/relatively straight forward?
Thanks!

Yes, all done. Very easy and straightforward. Stick to xiaomi.eu roms for best miui experience or latest AICP Oreo treble rom for 95-99% working Android stock experience. Currently on 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu and have all except afwall on mine since I don't use that app.
I recommend the 6gb/128gb from TradingShenzhen with xiaomi.eu installed - it will have unlocked bootloader right out of the box - many of us went with this version. Easiest/best experience.
If you go with any other version, check out my buggy vendor thread to flash to xiaomi.eu rom easily.

Quick follow up question. Is it possible to keep encryption on the userdata partition with the latest TWRP? I really like if my data is encrypted.

Encryption is possible. @nijel8 will have more knowledge since he created a modded TWRP. See this thread regarding encryption: https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/help/encrypt-phone-t3845117/amp/

I got my device today. I like it!! I got the global version 9.6.7.0.
Looks like I "only" need to wait 360 hours to unlock

I have a three more questions now.
#1 Is there a reason not to use this global 9.6.7.0 ROM (other than the ads). Are there any big bugs in this global version? If not, I will probably start rooting this version first Should I update the global version?
#2 You mentioned

There seem be to many newer versions than that. And also a "MIUI 10.0/10.1 STABLE RELEASE" (oct 24th). Is there a reason you are still on that old version?
#3 I understand not having ARB is better if you need to downgrade (without bricking). Is there a reason to downgrade frequently in the Xiaomi world? Is this because people need to switch back and forth between the Chinese and global ROM? And since I have the global version, can I ignore ARB?

1) EU is just better (has more features baked in - universal face unlock, theme store, etc), less bloated, and more updated.
2) Stable release is fine, but I just prefer beta updates - faster fixes, more features introduced, and tested more by users = more feedback.
I'm on 8.8.9 eu strictly because:
a) It's pretty flawless for me.
b) If it's not broken why fix it? I haven't seen anything worth jumping ship for.
c) It's NON-ARB; I'll only upgrade to ARB if and once I see a better working pie release (coming soon supposedly) because a data wipe may be necessary. I'll use migrate app (faster than titanium backup) to backup all my apps and then restore them onto the new rom.
3) Honestly, having ARB is not a big issue especially since the updated EU roms are solid. However, my points back in number 2 still stand. You can flash to and back from treble gsi roms on ARB and NON-ARB without any issues. However, no matter what anyone tells you, gsi roms for our phone are not perfect. They're only 95% usable. They are still missing mono speaker, volte, and some other things that some say are working without evidence or thorough testing. @MrColdbird just tested a few of the latest if not all of the gsi roms, and he's in agreement with me - they're almost there, but not 100% yet. Stick to xiaomi.eu roms for a complete rom. Just my humble opinion .
If you have any other questions, just ask. I hope this was informative enough.
@opasha @MrColdbird
Have u guys tried latest AOSPExtended Pie GSI? I loved this rom on my previous device.
https://downloads.aospextended.com/download/treble_gsi/pie_arm64_aonly/AospExtended-v6.0-arm64_aonly-20181117-0000-OFFICIAL.zip
Currently I'm also on 8.8.9 run and waiting for Pie build.
Anyone tried cutting of files from firmwareupdate folder to avoid ARB activation.
I've found solution that cutting firmware folder, leaving only files associated with modem shouldn't break anything and won't trigger ARB. Is it working on latest eu builds?
Files that allegedly have to stay in firmwareupate folder to not trigger arb:
.BTFM.bin
cmnlib.mbn
cmnlib64.mbn
devcfg.mbn
dspso.bin
NON_HLOS.bin

Regarding
> I'm on 8.8.9 eu strictly because ... It's NON-ARB
I was under the impression that EU is non-arb by design?
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/do-eu-roms-remove-anti-rollback.47145/#post-451617
I guess I haven't understood this ARB stuff 100% yet? And obviously this is a moving target. Posts only one or two months might be already outdated haha
Having said that, you convinced me about Eu.
And I guess in 15 days there will be new developments anyway (no pun intended).

Best Gaming Rom One Plus 3 2020

Hi guys,
I'm starting this thread hoping it will help someone. I personally searched all XDA and Google for an answer as I play heavy games one of them is Free Fire. I like playing the game at MAX FPS and Graphics. I was on the latest OOS 9.0.6. It was awful to me. As i got game lags and my phone got extremely hot. That's when it ventured in the search for the best rom or stock firmware to give me the best performance, stability and battery life. My battery life on 9.0.6 was really poor. I had battery drains of about 10-12% on idle overnight. I searched everywhere and all the threads were outdated and I needed a recent solution to my problem. I mean there's been a lot of newer One Pluses after the 3. But for the hardware that it has I was sure I could get more off my One Plus 3.
I tried Havoc , Evolution X , CR Droid, Lineage OS, Pixel Experience and all the OOS that where rolled out for the one plus. Yes I did alot of flashing and formatting. Since I never flashed just the OTA. I always flashed the firmware on that version and did a clean install always since i wanted a final verdict and didn't want to have a doubt on the dirty flashing. I used each rom and Stock Oxygen version for 4 days since i wanted to give the battery a couple of cycles before getting my final verdict on the rom.
I wrote the SOT time for every firmware or Rom that I flashed to not forget.
Finally I wont disrespect any rom developer out there saying there rom isn't good. As I for myself wouldn't be able to build one. Less without being paid. On the contrary I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!! to all the developers that take their time and build roms for us. I greatly appreciate every Developer here at xda. A big round of applause to you guys. You all are great!!!!.
All the roms are awesome and unique. I'm pretty sure it suits many, many, many users out there. As we're all looking for something different and different features in roms.
I tried all. And TADA!!! I'm on Oxygen OS 4.1.7 Android Nougat. Yes its far from the newest Android Version But the battery life on Idle is the best I have 0-1% battery drain overnight on idle with WiFi on all night. Game performance is awesome. I play Free Fire at Max FPS And Graphics with absolutely no lag. I use Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger and camera all day for my work and i'm able to reach back home after 8 hours work day with an average battery of 67%. To me it can't get better than this. Second in of the OOS was 4.5.1 a little better performance but battery drain was little higher. To me the exchange for a little performance difference to higher battery drain wasn't worth it. Again this is just my humble opinion and experience. Your results could be different. If you want to know my procedure and settings to get this on my One Plus 3. Feel free to ask. And as soon as i have a little time i can reply. Thank You XDA for the Best Forum on planet Earth.
Best regards,
Chimpzilla

Hi Chimp, thanks for writing your experience here. I had similar experience but used OOS 4.5.1, now want to switch back to OOS 4.1.7 but not finding any download link for it. Can you please share if you have any.
What do you suggest, using MSM Tool to restore to OOS 4.1.7 or just flashing it through TWRP on unlocked bootloader?
On OOS 4.5.1 I was trying to use Advance Kernel Tweaks but Magisk was not working with ElementalX kernel so gave it up.
Okay Guys. Sorry have been really busy. I installed with unlocked bootloader and TWRP. Wiped everything except internal storage. So that Custom Recovery gets replaced by Stock Recovery. Then I booted to system. And then back to recovery just to make sure I had Stock Recovery before Relocking bootloader. Once I had confirmed that i had stock recovery I booted to fastboot and relocked bootloader. After relocking your phone will be wiped please backup anything thats important to you. Every locking or unlocking of bootloader will wipe your data. Im not responsible. Once bootloader locked I booted back system. All firmware downloads can be downloaded from oneplusupdates website. Hope this helps.
Flashed 4.0.3 through MSM then used local update for 4.1.7, setting up my apps now.

I was actually on OOS 4.5.1 lol older version are better sometimes than the new ones and not everybody know that i downgraded to 4.1.7 now and im testing it right now because i have nothing to do in home with this problem of virus...

Believe me, you won't want to. The update has been pulled. It still has so many bugs. Biggest problem for me, I was curious that it, and updated, A12 currently has no local update option. Means roll back is not possible, only with the MSM tool. Then it starts all over with rooting again.

you can download and install this system update apk from oneplus and it gives you the options to rollback. But be aware rolling back will wipe your device.

You can you the apk on ColorOS to rollback also.

Which bugs are you facing?
Yup, and i've been using it for a month now.
I updated to A12 in Dec when the first OTA was pushed. I had too many issues even after the first 2 patches, downgraded back to OOS11 and never been happier.
I'm waiting for 10pro to launch so I can update to OOS12 then

I played around so much, that I don´t remember everything now. Some apps didn´t work. I think, but I´m not sure, I had problems with Viper4Android. Or it was Youtube vanced. Sorry, I really forgot.
Certain setting options had been missing for me or were no longer where you would have expected them to be. I also missed the local upgrade, but that problem has been solved in the meantime (I was not well informed). I was also not happy with the UI, but that is not a bug but a matter of taste.
In sum, not so dramatic, but my evaluation has coincided with those of other forum members. Does not mean that I am right. I'm happy to be corrected.
How is the general satisfaction with A12 here?
A few months back when they started pushing Android 12 I was eager to try it and so I used "Oxygen Updater" from the play store to download a full stable version of android 12 but i accidentally downloaded the Indian version. I had so many bugs on it, but then I used the same app (oxygen updater) to switch to the EU version and my phone worked perfectly with no bugs or anything. I have now switched to Pixel Experience rom and wifi is not working so I may go back to Oxygen 12. But yeah if you have bugs on Oxygen 12 then use Oxygen Updater and download a new version to flash and your bugs may vanish.
Enjoy
I was curious about A12 and gave it a second try after cleaning up everything.
Does Viper4Android work? Just trying with a fix but not sure if it will work.
The next thing is that file manger doesn´t appear in Magisk, when u want to install a module from internal storage.
At least Youtube Vanced is working now.
BTW, post above is ColorOS 12

Another question: how to us the "OnePlus 9/9Pro Rollback APK". It´s a zip file. Unpacking shows now apk file. Flashing through kernel manager of course not possible. Sorry, don´t find a way to install.
Second try of A12 was not satisfying. When I use the MSM Tool I´ve to re-root again....
Edit: renamed the file to apk at the end. Did it once without success, don´t know why. Now it works
Hope you figured it out. If you haven't.
- download appropriate downgrade package and move it to the root folder of your phone.
- download and install https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk
on your devices... this allows you to access local upgrade... if your phone doesn't install a shortcut you can keep reinstalling it every time you need it
- open OPLocalUpdate_For_Android_12.apk click gear in top left corner and install the downgrade package you put in the root directory
You can also use the local update to install other OxygenOS12/ColorOS12 packages. I just went from C.36(Global) -> C.38(EU) -> C.46(ColorOS12) then rolled back because MMS is broken at C.44 all variants of both OSs and above... at least for me.

Thanks, my problem was that I didn´t know that I have to rename the files. Many thanks!
Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with the C44 update for OxygenOS 12, stable and smooth, as intended. But yes, the first updates were messy.
For having given a try to ColorOS 12 too, OxygenOS 12 gave me a better experience on the OnePlus 9 Pro: less throttling in games and less bloated.
If we get a ColorsOS C44 EU (which should be far more debloated than its Chinese counterpart) that isn't making games throttle, then I'll surely jump into the wagon, but for now, OxygenOS 12 remains the better option if you want an Android 12 official experience for your phone.

Question Best A13 ROM for Mi 11x

I tried Pixel experience but it was giving me issues. Currently on PixelOS and it is working fine. I have not tried any other ROM as it is hassle to backup, restore and then entering password of apps.... Not sure, but perhaps most of the ROMs does not come with Gcam or ANX. So which is the best A13 ROM for Mi 11x with a working ANX or Gcam?

I run the AMAZING Evo-X 7.4 rom, its solid as a rock and works brilliant for me.
I would suggest to check out the Evo-X thread, you might even find me on there
Now the Pain with switching rom is having to re-install all you apps and loosing their data,
as far as i aware there is no A12/A13 Recovery that backs up the complete phone like the Clockwordmod days.
I use a great program called Migrate-GPE it comes in three parts and is FREE, its available on the App store but i have uploaded the version i use, you need to be ROOTED to use this app.
Migrate-GPE saves most of your apps including their data, excluding Banking and Magisk apps,
I love it as it save all my offline maps, battery stats, ect.
Have fun.

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, I came across EvoX and yes, also migrate GPE. Will try after listening to more suggestions
I also tried Evolution-X, but it has a major drawback. If you go back to MIUI it gives you the "find device storage corrupted" error. Also makes your device uncertified. I eventually fixed both these but it was a massive pain.

Apparently it does but "find device storage corrupted" error it`s a easy fix as long as you have Twrp Recovery,
As for "Device Uncertified" i might flash MIUI Stock to see if i encounter this issue before return back to EVO-X.
I feel there is no advantage returning to stock due to firmware limitations,
if and when your device needs warranty repair, sending it in with non Miui Firmware installed shouldn`t affect your claim.

Wish I knew that. Can you explain how it's done? I tried flashing persist using twrp but that didn't fix it in my case.
I went back to miui because I was experiencing battery drain on Evo-X. And maybe it's just me but my eyes felt strained on Evo-X for some reason.

Hi,
You could check out my post, it worked for me:
Could someone send a dump of persist partition?
I have the error device is not certified with locked bootloader after reflashing the persist partition when it was corrupted (I took persist.img file from fastboot rom). I think that a dump of persist partition from the other poco f3 may solve...

Well i actually switched to crDROID for about a week, while using crDROID and replying to posts on XDA a user pointed out the "Device Storage" issue and portioned the blame at the Evo-X rom, as a test i downgraded from crDROID back to stock "eea_V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM" firmware and yes i received the "NAG SCREEN"
Using the above method I installed a new Persist.img and the nag screen disappeared.
As their was a rumor still going around blaming Evo-X,
again as a test i downgraded to "eea_V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM" over the top of Evo-X V7.4 that i`ve been using for a week and the nag screen wasn`t present ,
I the Evo-X rom its AMAZING

1. Does it support turbo charging?
2. How is overall battery life?
3. Which cam application does it use? Basic or something like Gcam or MIUI stock ones?
4. What other issues you have come across?
Thanks
Hi,
1. Fast charging works great, but then i use a QI wireless charging adaptor, check out my post on the Poco F3 thread.
2. My phone last me around 9 hours, as i`m not a massive phone user,
I charge my phone from 45% to 65%, this give me enough charge for a day and generates 0.02 cycles of battery wear, the amazing Evo-X rom has the "Smart Charging" function.
3. Not to Shure about the stock camera as i have three different apps running,
it think it`s org.lineageos.aperture Version code 33.
4. When starting from a clean install Every thing works great, I haven't encountered any FORCE CLOSE issues
5. THIS ROM IS AMAZING, IF IN DOUBT CHECKOUT OUT THE OFFICAL TELEGRAM PAGE,
EVO-X SIMPLY AMAZING

I`ve been playing/experimenting with customs roms for over 10 years starting with the HTC Wildfire, i then moved on to the early Samsungs Pre KNOX and then on to LG phones, i still have my LG G7.
I have seen the evolution of Android over the years and it`s been mind blowing and the quality of Custom rom`s and their Dev`s is outstanding.
I choose to upgraded my G7 as LG unfortunately left the smartphone market and custom roms were getting scarce, so i settled on the F3 because it was easy to unlock, had Great specs and dev support, also being one of the most popular xiaomi phones on XDA helps and it was great value for money.
I have run maybe 6 major roms as my daily driver over the last 13 months that I have owned the F3, I have also tested maybe another 10 - 15 roms out of curiosity.
I have found that EVO-X is the most polished rom that i have come across with all the major feature that most users need and i like to give credit when credit it`s due.
EVO-X 7.4 Simply Amazing

Do u by any chance know of MIUI13 ROM which allow smart unlock feature? I know through custoMIUIzation module i can do it, but i was just wondering if someone has optimized MIUI13 for Mi11x with such features unblocked to save the hassle.
I have installed EVO-X and it is good. But i miss "Themes" feature of MIUI which changes over all skin of the phone with so many options to search for. What i like the most that it changes wallpapers, icon, system setting, lockscreen, colors etc in one go. I tried to find an alternative app and even tried installing MIUI's theme module but to no avail. TBH i am only missing that feature.
bliss Rom allows it, I am on 16.2 build and it's perfect for me. My favorite rom in general is crdroid, but last version of bliss Rom hits all my criterias (hbm, power toggle for torch, really smooth and good battery backup...). It is a pity it lacks visibility here
