Anyway to root this US model?
Oh, absolutely. I rooted mine in December.
Don't. There is no benefit to it and it only causes problems. Wait until there is full firmware available and you've already upgraded to official Oreo.

EMUI 8.0 (with Android 8.0) is already in beta. So, I think the stable release will come out in a few months. You won't have to wait till June 2019 ?.

Do you mean rooting then installing a different rom causes problems or just rooting by itself?

In order to root you first need to unlock the bootloader and FRP. Once this has been done, it cannot be undone. Any attempt will likely result in bootloops or brick.
At this time, it will prevent you from being able to apply any OTA updates and voids whatever warranty you might have had.
With root, however, you can do a couple of neat things like remove the bloatware. Most of that can be removed without root, but there are a couple things. Add-free youtube? There's an apk out there that doesn't require root for that. Apply a different kernel that allows you to tweak performance or battery consumption? Doesn't exist and the phone's pretty good at performance and battery life as it is anyway. Oh, and snapchat won't work on root.
One really great thing you can do with root is flash the AOSP or OpenKirin rom. They're beta, so your experience might be better or it might be worse than stock.
Was there something else you wanted to do with root that you can't do without it?
I've never owned an Android device without root, but I'm regretting rooting this one. I'm looking to try out OpenKirin, but since my phone actually works for the time being, I'm hesitant.

If you're insistent, here's how you root:

So is there anyway to update L24 US model to Oreo beta? How can I get the beta ROM? I want to update to RR Oreo but all the I go seems to be for Indian L21 version. Can Huawei Firmware finder give me the update? I have Emui 5 and need Emui 8 with project treble FW to go to RR

As I understand it, you need to use the guide to upgrade to L21 and then flash RR Oreo from there. From what I've see elsewhere in the forums, one person has done it successfully and one person has bricked.
I've rooted many phones over the years but this one hasn't been fun. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and installed TWRP basically the day it was available. I didn't read one of the postings correctly one day and soft bricked my L24 trying to RELOCK and flash stock recovery. Long Story short I gave up and called customer support this past Sunday and started a warranty ticket. They sent me a packing slip via email. My package was handed to UPS driver at 12:45 Monday afternoon and my phone is already in route back to me for delivery tomorrow. I think I'm going to pass on unlocking and rooting until there's stock firmware released. Good luck if you choose to root.....
hi guys
I want to delete The Booatloader and Root from my Honor 7X

Neither me, since I owned an Android, I rooted. But the the question now is? Is it worth to lose the warranty and OTA updates now that Huawei has been banned in US? I owned the Honor 7x since a year, it works just perfect, but there are some apps that i would like to use that require root, like Tinkore keymapper and a DIY gamepad. Again, is it worth it?
I am wanting to get the latest security updates for the Pixel 3 XL but do not want to upgrade to Android 10 (for the time being).
I saw the latest update for Android Pie for 3 XL was August 2019.
Is there a way to get the current security update without being forced to upgrade to Android 10?

No, the latest updates are all on 10. Is there a reason you haven't taken any 10 updates? If your holding out for a Verizon bootloader unlock, don't hold your breath. No offense to Fern and whoever else is working on it, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I really like having the ability to swap the navigation buttons. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/android-10-swap-navigation-bar-menu-t3966439).
Plus...I've read a good few posts where people aren't happy with battery life and prefer going back to Pie.
IIRC the official update should've launched around november-december
Its february, what happened? did xiaomi drop the RN5pro from the list?

LOL! Where did you get information RN5 will get Android 10? RN5 Pro got 2 major Android updates 8.1 and 9. Be happy they even continue MIUI. Last MIUI update was in November and after that still nothing. This is not a flagship phone. If you want Android 10 go with custom ROMs.

They were launched with Nougat
Dude has right.There were serious rumors that we would get android 10.
What is the point of android 10 if it is still covered by MIUI skin? I hardly can point out any additional feature provided by android 10. There are several nice to have features, but it also brings along several critical limitation.
I flashed Havoc 3.0 android 10 early January this year, just for the sake of update, after one week immediately regret it. I am back to AEX 6.7 Pie 9.0 since then. The clipboard limitation severely damage several of my daily flows in Automagic. Any wifi/bluetooth related action now require high accuracy location feature to be on all the time. While at pie 9.0, battery saver mode is enough. There is pratically no significant new useful features I can find.
At that time most android 10 cusrom still haven't stable yet nor implementing their features into the ROM. Example, I can't yet find Smartbar DUI in AEX 7.0 Android 10, but it is there in AEX 6.7 Pie 9.0 (that's why I stay on Pie). Rather than having new version but with missing features, I better stay on old version but with full features.

But I still think xiaomi won't update it to Android 10
Dear Mi 10T lite community,
I am new to Xiaomi, originally coming from a OnePlus phone.
This is a Mi 10T lite phone bought in Germany from a German carrier.
Even before installing my personal data and apps, I had updated to the latest global version 12.0.8.0 of the Xiaomi stock ROM.
Today I get the notification, that the second (first after real install) update is available and my phone wants up UPDATE from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1 !?!?
What kind of update is this. The version number is being reduced?
The patch level is said to increase from January 2021 to February 2021, which sounds okay.
The current ROM (12.0.8) is Android 10 based. The new ROM (12.0.1) claims to be "Stable MIUI based on Android 11". Is this the upgrade to Android 11? I thought the Update to Android 11 will be with MIUI 12.5 in summer!?
Would you advise to upgrade this stock ROM? -- For me this sounds strange. On OnePlus I have always relied on the ROM upgrades. What about this?
Thank you for any advise in advance!
Best regards
Ethan

If you notice that the update ROM has R instead of Q in the string *JSEUXM that denotes next update - R follows Q. The numbering is for Miui version 12 and the iteration .0.1 means it's the first one in this R cycle.
And it is android 11. Going to install it myself - if it's now out of beta and ota'ing

Hello Gazblade,
thank you very much. This is quite interesting. I had only looked at the "human readable" part of the version number, not at the "machine readable" part.
You are right. This is an update from QJSEUXM to RJSEUXM and thus it should be a new version. It is good to learn the "Xiaomi-style".
Nevertheless it should NOT mean, that their GUI, MIUI is downgraded to an earlier version from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1. This is intriguing.
Obviously the third digit of the MIUI version number has nothing to do with respect to the currentness of Xiaomi's GUI software. Right?
Also the text "based on Android 11" is at least misleading.
Nevertheless, based on your feedback, I will try the update later.
Have a great day!
Best regards
Ethan
Just a note for "Based on Android 11" - it is important because you can have MIUI 12 based on Android 9 or Android 10 or Android 11. Most of the features will be shared among different Android versions, with some exceptions (or freshly introduced underlaying Android bugs/design changes).

I am not sure whether I got the point. Xiaomi had offered "MIUI 12.0 based on Android 11" for my Android 10 phone and this upgrade MIUI 12.0 is still using (or based on) Android 10.
Android 11 will come with MIUI 12.5 Right?
Thus does this "based on" read "has been compiled with Android 11"? Or "Is running on Android 11 and older"?
I had planned to install the update tonight, but in the meantime the OTA update disappeared again and is no longer found by the Xiaomi updater! What a strange policy.
Has the "R" version been withdrawn and is back to beta status?
With my old OnePlus updates were pretty straight-forward. I do not understand the Xiaomi update policy until now...

MIUI is only skin (albeit quite heavy) on the top of Android. Xiaomi decided to offer the same MIUI version on top of more than one Android version. So our phone came with MIUI 12 + Android 10 and now it's being upgraded to MIUI 12 + Android 11. Next major upgrade will be MIUI 12.5 + Android 11. But it's possible that Xiaomi will offer also MIUI 12.5 + Android 10 for other (older) phone models..
It can be a bit confusing, but you don't need to stress too much about it.
The Update to 12.0.1.0 RJSEUXM is back and I have downloaded the OTA update already. Currently I am charging my phone before applying the update. -- Be safe. At least on the battery.
Did anybody already apply this update to Android 11?
There are so many rumors about problems with this update, but there are not many clear facts.
Would you recommend adopting to Android 11 already now or wait for MIUI 12.5?

I will put it this way. For every bigger Android update there are a bunch of people who hate it and they will make a lot of noise on forums. They don't like some design changes or cosmetic bugs. Most people are not bothered by them or they barely notice them. Of course that there is always a chance of serious bugs, but problematic updates are usually pulled down quickly and the information is often covered in articles (on XDA or similar pages). There is no known serious bug in this update and it's considered as a safe update. I am very sure that MIUI 12.5 update will be "the worst update in the history of all updates" for some people (like it was with MIUI 12 or MIUI 11; or Android 11 or Android 10 etc.)..
I updated one or two weeks ago and except already mentioned misaligned (but still functional) text in notifications I haven't noticed anything worth mentioning. I personally recommend the update, but as always, YMMV..

I have just updated to 12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM. My Mi 10T lite is now running Android 11 absolutely flawlessly. Good recommendation! And probably a very correct explanation in your message above.
Could someone upload and share the MiQT Lite XQCN file (EEA or Global)? I need this file to test some things on my 9 Pro 5G.

No, still there.
Morning all, I went through the pages but couldn't find anything that relates to this. Bought the 9pro yesterday (US version, unlocked, using a TMobile sim)
Phone can not find an update, it's still sitting on November 2021 patch with Android11. Is this normal? I know the US hasn't been getting much love lately from OP. I'm also aware of updating via sideload but if this lack of update is known to others as well, I'd rather wait it out until OTA arrives. Anyone have advice?
Same for Europe. BUT - be happy with being "stuck" on Android 11. OOS12 is still way too buggy, more of a beta version.

If you want to try out Android 12, you can proceed through the Oxygen Updater app. The last official OOS12 update I was on has been the C44 EU (C46 is out, but not for EU yet), and I decided to give a try to custom ROMs (Jaguar, on Android 11, and crDroid 8, on Android 12).
I'm currently running crDroid 8 as my daily driver, but OOS12 C44 EU was great too (the first OOS12 updates were quite a mess, though).

Horror stories? Over exaggerated for the biggest part and mostly caused by the disappointment that originated after OnePlus and OPPO announced a closer cooperation and unified OS.

I saw this yesterday but figured I should at least give it a little time. Two small issues so far. One, it optimized my alarm clock app so I woke up late this morning. Second, the font and spacing seems a bit bigger on everything and I haven't found how to get it smaller yet. I have font set to small. Wifi, Bluetooth, 4 and 5g all seems to be working fine. No issues with lagging, screen, etc. Let me know if you have anything specific you want me to check.
I paid $530 for my 9pro brand new (us version & unlocked). I'm stuck on Nov 2021, I don't see anything super promising regarding A12 or OOS12, so I guess I'll stay on A11 and treat this phone like a mid-ranger. If I get a OTA, yay.... If not, oh well it was essentially 500 bucks for an 888 and 12gb of Ram

Do you happen to know if I root my 9 pro, whether or not I can still get OTA updates? Or, if maybe i could still use Oxygen Updater to do so? I dont mind the stock OS but id love to get Titanium Backup going and a few other small things.
NEVERMIND - Found on the Oxygen Updater site. Still works after root, just a slightly different process.

You'll have to check personally for that, as I'm unsure about how Titanium backup works. But I know you can still use Magisk and keep your device rooted even through OTA updates (the process is described step by step in the associated post on the OnePlus 9 Pro forum, so you should find it quite easily, but be careful, as you have to do a few things before rebooting to apply the OTA update.).
