Since, the release of the Android M. Google make it hard to root your device. On MIUI 8 with marshmallow I have been trying to figure out a way to root my device. In almost every case I found myself in a boot loop. So after a long work i finally succeed to root my redmi note 3 with no error and bootloop.
I am not responsible for any damage to your devices,loss or damage caused, or alleged to have been caused, directly or indirectly, by the informations or ideas suggested or referenced, etc. If you get a boot loop you can get back to booting by simply flashing the stock "M" system image via fastboot. or Mi flash tool.
Please try at your own risk. Your warranty is now void.
PRE-REQUIREMENTS
1. redmi note 3 ( SD only) with official MiUI 8 6.9.9 developers rom (marshmallow update) :good:
2. officially unlocked bootloader.
3. TWRP recovery ( alka twrp recommended ).
4. patched boot image given below.
5.brain
METHOD RECOVERY METHOD.
1. Download boot.zip and SuperSu.zip
superSu.zip -https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727369092694142
boot.img - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24727369092694141
2. copy both the files (boot.img and SuperSu.zip) to your external SD card.
3. now reboot the device in recovery and go to mount section and mount all the partitions.
4. now go to install and go to SD card and flash SuperSu.zip.
5. as the super su is installed go back in install section and select install image.
6. now you will see only .img files so locate to boot.img and select it.
7. In next window you may see two option as " select partition to flash image:" select the first one option BOOT partition and slide the installation slider and reboot your redmi note 3 SD
boot up may take 5-10 mins so don't we panic. and please mention in the comment was it worked for you or not so I can edit boot image for you..
if i help you give me a thanks, by clicking on thanks button
I am on Miui8 6.9.15 Marshmallow, used supersu.zip, boot.img for rooting..., successfully rooted but some times when I restart the device network gone, sometimes bootloop is occurring.. So I need to flash boot.img again and again.. This is taking a lot of time.. What to do?
Just flash supersu stable using ZCX twrp. Head over supersu xda thread for latest stable flashable zip. Worked for me without any issue.

DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device on following these steps. These are untested steps that worked for me and might work for you.
PREREQUISITES
1. PC with adb
2. Unlocked Bootloader
3. TWRP
4. MIUI 9 [Might work with other ROMs, not tested]
5. Lazyflasher zip
NOTES
1. If you are on a custom ROM, chances are that camera2 api is already enabled. Use Manual Camera Compatibility to verify.
2. If you are on MIUI, updating using ota might reset build.prop file. This might help, not tested. Update: I successfully updated to MIUI 9 Global 7.10.19 | Beta, see below for steps,
3. I am using Google Camera v4.4.020.163412804 on MIUI 9 Global 7.9.7 | Beta, and it is a HUGE improvement over the stock camera.
STEPS
1. Boot into TWRP. (Guide if you don't have TWRP)
2. Mount System.
3. Take NANDroid backup. (Optional but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
4. Connect to PC and execute the following command in terminal:
Code:
[SIZE="3"]adb pull /system/build.prop[/SIZE]
5. This copies build.prop to the current directory. (C:\Users\[USERNAME] by default on windows)
6. Copy it to another directory for backup.
7. Open in editor and add the following line at end:
Code:
[SIZE="3"]persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1[/SIZE]
8. Save and exit.
9. Execute following commands:
Code:
[SIZE="3"]adb push build.prop /system/
adb shell
cd system
chmod 644 build.prop
[/SIZE]
10. Copy lazyflasher to internal storage.
11. Flash using TWRP.
12. Reboot to system.
13. Use Manual Camera Compatibility Checker to verify.
14. PROFIT!
15. Install the latest Google Camera HDR+ Port. (Optional but HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ;P)
UPDATING MIUI
1. Download the official recovery zip from here.
2. Download latest TWRP from here
2. Reboot into TWRP.
3. Take NANDroid. (Optional, just in case . . .)
4. Transfer ROM zip, TWRP img and Lazyflasher zip to internal storage.
5. Flash ROM zip. (Took about 10 minutes)
6. Flash TWRP img. (Go to flash -> select flash image -> select twrp-[v].img)
7. Flash Lazyflasher zip.
8. Follow steps 4 through 9 of above instructions. (Yes, build.prop also gets replaced on update)
9. Reboot to system.
10. Wait patiently.
11. VOILA !!
LINKS
1. Manual Camera Compatibility Checker
2. Lazyflasher Zip
3. Google Camera HDR+ Port
4. Latest MIUI Recovery Image
5. Official TWRP for mido

Hope this helps. Try and comment if this works for you in other ROMs. Also let me know if anything is unclear.
TWRP Tweaks (MIUI 9 Beta)
The method in this thread basically allows you to edit build.prop without rooting, which opens up a lot of possibilities. Here are some other useful tweaks to build.prop that I use.
(Note: If a line is already present in the file, edit the line otherwise add at end.)
1. Enable MIUI's full screen gestures
Code:
[SIZE="3"]
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
[/SIZE]
2. Add EIS and disable noise cancellation
Code:
[SIZE="3"]
persist.camera.eis.enable=1
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluencepro
[/SIZE]
3. Turn off noise cancellation for audio recordings
Code:
[SIZE="3"]
persist.audio.fluence.voicerec=false
[/SIZE]
4. Fix Google Assistant talkback
Code:
[SIZE="3"]
mm.enable.qcom_parser=245389
[/SIZE]

Do reply if you are using some build.prop tweak and I'll add it here!
is it possible to make the flash-able zip work with stock recovery?
What does the lazyflasher zip actually do? A quick search on google shows a custom kernel installer.

I am not sure if it is safe to flash zips from stock recovery. Even if you could, you would not be able to take NANDroid, so you are doomed if things go south. Still, if you want, you could try and then we'll know

The source of the lazyflasher zip (2 in sources) says:
This device uses dm-verity
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.

When I was trying the adb method, I was getting a bootloop, because (I think) the system partition had been modified (new build.prop replaced old one). Flashing this zip solved this, so I guess it essentially allows modifications to the system partition.

I am willing to try because it would be great if this could work withouth using twrp, root or a unlocked bootloader.
Are the scripts compatible?

They should be, as I used them with stock MIUI, stock kernel. However, are you going to flash a zip on locked bootloader? Is that even possible? Why would modifications to the system partition be allowed with locked bootloader? What would be the point of locking if that is the case?

I assumed that if OTA updates can be flashed through bootloader then by that logic /system could be modified too, right? hmmm
In Android devices, Recovery is an Android-based, lightweight runtime environment separate from and parallel to the main Android operating system. Recovery's original purpose was:
to apply software updates to the device, e.g. OTA updates, and
to erase user data and cache, e.g. for troubleshooting or preparing the device for resale (factory reset) and
to run (another) external tool from microSD flash memory

Unfortunately I don't have access to a stock mido right now, and I don't want to lock my bootloader.
If you're willing to risk it, you could try these steps:
1. Go to developer settings and enable adb.
2. Follow steps 4 to 9 of main post (with device switched on)
3. Reboot.
You might get a bootloop on rebooting, in which case you'd have to get into stock recovery and factory reset, because afaik, stock recovery doesn't give you adb.
Do tell what happens if you try this, good luck!
When I replace the build.prop the phone goes bootloop. It does not matter I use adb or root explorer or something... Why is that? BTW only this method worked: I used an app called build prop editor and worked like a charm! Thank you. If you did not tell that it was possible to enable camera 2 api on miui 9, all my hopes would be lost. So I suggest everyone to use another methods in case this does not work.

It should, provided you have unlocked bootloader, but I haven't tested yet. Take a backup and try! Also, don't forget to reply what happens if you do try.
Can someone tell me what is this?it was set to no hdr+ on default.im on miui 9 global beta 7.12.8
In the end of the TWRP guide it says to flash lazyflasher.zip . In the end of this guide it also says you have to install lazyflasher.zip .
Do you have to install it both times or is once enough ? What would happen if you follow both guides to the letter and install it twice ?

No, once should be enough, but flashing twice won't cause any trouble either.
All right guys, I haven't been active for quite a long time in the past year or so and need some additional help like the title says.
So , what would be the most painless way to get from the old Dev 9.8.15 to the latest dev build ... probably the 20.3.26? (From Android 9 to 10).
A step by step guide would be priceless since no one wants to end getting your phone bricked, right?
So...what? Use miflash an get back to global Rom? If so, which one, and which firmware? Also, what twrp to use,magisk and so on...
Is it possible to use the twrp app for the process ?
Any kind of advice is appreciated.
Cheers!

We guess you speak about beta xiaomi.eu custom ROM and not beta China ROM?
- Download latest 20.3.26 (for Redmi K20/Mi 9T devices) => https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261755297
- Download Magisk uninstaller (if you get issues after reinstalling Magisk in new ROM version) => https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-uninstaller-20200323.zip
- Download latest Magisk version => https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-v20.4.zip
Put all these zip files in root of your phone's storage and reboot your phone in TWRP.
1) Flash new ROM version in TWRP. Reboot after finished.
2) Wait phone to boot into system (can take a few minutes).
3) Reboot again in TWRP and flash Magisk zip (NOT uninstaller zip).
4) Reboot your phone, *if your phone fail to boot to system -> do step 5.
*5) Reboot to TWRP and flash Magisk uninstaller zip, then flash Magisk zip again. Reboot your phone.
Nothing difficult... ^^

Just to be clear so i do not hassle day in and day out.
- Since we are speaking about two different android builds, there is no need to revert back to global? Somewhere else "suggested" to do that because of that exact reason. (by that I mean the global fastboot ROM)
- Do i need any specific TWRP build to make it go without any troubles?
- When flashing new ROM i wipe all - anything specific so i don't miss out ? (haven't done it in a while)
for now thanks a lot mon ami.

- You don't need to revert back to global when using xiaomi.eu ROM.
- Use your current TWRP, it should be fine and it will be automatically updated after flashing new xiaomi.eu ROM.
- You don't need to wipe anything. In case of issue after ROM update, you can "Format Data" in TWRP > Reboot TWRP > Put 20.3.26 zip ROM and reflash it (clean flash).

Yeap, download and install MIUI 12 Beta zip ROM in TWRP.
After updating to MIUI 12 Beta ROM, you may need to clear all app data of "Updater" app in phone's settings to fix it (if you can't open the Updater to check for OTA updates).

Is this guide works with already rooted Mi 9T with unlocked bootloader? I also have an old MIUI with TWRP Recovery and Magisk. I wondering if i could use this guide...?
Wysłane z mojego Mi 9T przy użyciu Tapatalka
DISCLAIMER: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DOThe only reason behind posting this guide is because now we have a way to fix device if any unusual things happen after flashing beta builds. Beginners & noobs who doesn't have any idea about flashing stuff should stay away.
PREREQUISITES:
1. Bootloader Unlocked Device
2. OrangeFox
3. Stable OZIP (Android 10 | realmeUI 1.0 | C35)
4. Beta ZIP (Android 11 | realmeUI 2.0 | F06)
5. Unofficial OrangeFox beta build (For realmeUI 2.0 A11 FW only)
6. realmeUI 2.0 stock recovery
7. A11 VBMETA
8. Patched VBMETA
PROCESS TO FLASH:
1. Just to be on safer side we are going to make sure everything is stock & all partitions are unmodified. So reflash latest Stable OZIP (C35) via OrangeFox.
2. Format data & reboot to System (This is optional but better to do it, we never know what might happen with realme device)
3. Reboot back to Bootloader if realmeUI 1.0 boots fine
4. Flash OrangeFox build which you used previously & also flash patched vbmeta (fastboot flash vbmeta patched_vbmeta.img)otherwise you get "Boot is destroyed........"
5. Boot into custom recovery & copy downloaded Beta ZIP
6. Flash the Beta ZIP & format data.
7. Reboot to System. realmeUI 2.0 should boot now.
COMMON ISSUES & FIXES:
1. Device stuck at white realme splash logo
Sol. Few people reported it booted when they flashed patched vbmeta so you can first try that. If doesn't work then you can flash A11 vbmeta (fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img) attached here & reboot to system
2. Device stuck at Yellow realme boot animation
Sol. If it's stuck for more than 2-3mins then reboot to bootloader & format data by executing fastboot erase userdata ., never do fastboot -w it's messing up data partition in A11 due to new changes introduced by realme
3. Stuck in bootloader (fastboot)
Sol. Flash the unofficial OrangeFox rescue build & boot into it, copy C35 OZIP to internal storage. Flash it & format data. Reboot to System. Wait for public realmeUI 2.0 release.
4. Unofficial OrangeFox beta build stuck at Ofox splash & display keeps blinking
Sol. This happens because Ofox can't decrypt realmeUI 2.0 data, only way to boot this ofox build properly is by formatting data, reboot back to bootloader. fastboot erase userdata
5. Device doesn't have realmeUI 2.0 Stock Recovery
Sol. Flash the attached stock recovery
reserved
Congrats! Will try now
EDIT: Works fine but just 2 hints.
1: Don't Use TWPR 3.5.0_9 or you will get Zip Treble Error
2: After you flash RUI 2.0 it's a MUST flash A11 VBMETA

Stock recovery only accepts signed OZIP/ZIP like the ones uploaded in their website, OTA updates we receive are signed with different certificate that's why installing those custom OZIPs fail if we do it manually.

Well there are two ways, we can use stock recovery to downgrade from beta builds to C34
Another way would be to flash unofficial Ofox build, copy C34 OZIP to internal storage & flash it.

OTA updater app is verifying the update & rebooting to stock recovery, so if we can figure out the same way we can install custom ozips via stock recovery too
How would you recommend to bring over apps & their settings to A11? After formatting data they'll be lost. Which backup method is able to restore them? Have you rooted it already?
Magisk?
Cool ! It works fine thank you.
but I noticed that the "Unofficial OrangeFox beta build" cant mount internal storage issue with following error : "could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer"
So is there another way to Root my device without wiping data?
Hi
First Thank you for this post .
I want to restore a stock recovery UI 1.0 now i am using orangefox recovery on C.34
can i restore without format data or waiting UI 2.0 stable ??
Many Thanks
Hi,
I've followed the steps and no errors. After reboot, the system stucks at Realme white logo. How it's said on common issues, i've flashed then A11 vbmeta, and the same. Ive waited about 10minutes and it keeps there. I've tried flash the Ofox recovery again to repeat the process but now I can't get Ofox working. I can access fastboot and if I try reboot to recovery, it symply reboots to bootloader... What should I do? I also tried all the options in common issues but without success...
Thanks

Hello,
I tried to root my 9T(model M2010JI9SG) following this guide:
I used twrp from this link:
Xiaomi Mi 9T / Redmi K20
Disclaimer:Team Win strives to provide a quality product. However, it is your decision to install our software on your device. Team Win takes no ...
twrp.me
version 3.5.2_9-0
after I flashed twrp, I got into fastboot mode, which I can't leave.
I tried doing volume up +power, volume down+ power, and all the buttons as well, nothing worked, every time it goes back to fastboot,
I tried to redo everything, still didn't fix, and tried to flash stock via mi tool, didn't work too.
Please help me fix that,
Thanks!!!

OMG
You should first of all know your phone model
"Redmi 9T" reads as different name than "Mi 9T", isn't it?
Hence you MUST NEVER flash TWRP for Redmi K20/Mi 9T (guide clearly says it is for that phone, check the big picture in your post) to your Redmi 9T
oh damn, I can fix that somehow?

Check on twrp.me is there TWRP for your Redmi 9T
Or download the so called Fastboot/TGZ ROM for your M2010JI9SG, extract recovery.img (stock Recovery) and flash it back over the wrong TWRP
For more details search on XDA for Redmi 9T subforum (this one is for Mi 9T), there should be users and freaks who can better help you for the same phone

Here you can find firmwares for lime:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
You should (?) know what was your installed firmware, download the same Fastboot/tgz and extract (TGZ=Tar+GZIP) your original stock recovery.img, and flash it from Fastboot (just like you flashed the wrong TWRP)
You could also use MiFlash tool to flash the whole firmware, but it must be not needed

You don't need TWRP. Extract boot.img (like you extracted recovery.img). Install Magisk apk and use the method Install (Magisk), then Select and patch your boot.img (do not tick Recovery option)
Find the patched img in Download folder, transfer to PC and flash from Fastboot - this time to boot partition, not to recovery partition
If anything goes wrong, flash back the stock boot img
Btw, on that Redmi 9T, do you have A12 (or A11 or what) and is it MTK chipset?
Generally, use Magisk Stable v23 from TJW:
Magisk/README.MD at master · topjohnwu/Magisk
The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
But if A12 or MTK and if it ain't work, you can try Magisk Alpha ('pilot' builds for the new Magisk to be soon? released)

I tried to do it, after I patched boot.img I transfered it to my PC and did fastboot boot boot_patched.img
it did ok on sending, but then failed on booting(unknown command), any fix for that?
Flash (not boot) a healthy un-patched stock "boot.img" that is signed with your ROM version to the device and see if that works.

fastboot boot xxx.img boots one time to the xxx.img
For flashing (permanently) to boot you need to use:
fastboot flash boot xxx.img
Before flashing the 'stock' or patched boot img, pls double check: compare your firmware name in Settings / My device against the fastbboot/tgz package you downloaded and extracted the boot.img from
Recovery images might be the same for several firmwares, but boot.img is more critical. If extracted from the wrong firmware, it will not be your real stock boot.img and will not boot
You can use this app (now when your phone boots) to download and look for the proper firmware:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com

I would trust to the following thread on Xiaomi.eu forum, to find the suitable TWRP for your device.
Post #1, link to AFH, then scroll to lime (if that's the code name for your Redmi 9T):
[TWRP][RECOVERY] List of relevant recovery in one place
https://sourceforge.net/projects/recovery-for-xiaomi-devices/files/ I have compiled a list of relevant recovery in one place, i think it will be useful. Updates are monitored each day. Welcome, friends! How to install TWRP https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/installing-a-custom-recovery.67841/
xiaomi.eu
Based on experience with my 9T I would pick
twrp-3.5.2_10-3-lime-brigudav.img
I.e., Xoaomi.eu provides weekly and stable firmwares that are usually well ahead of the official firmwares (on my Mi 9T, daily driver and businesses phone I was 9 months on their weeklies until I switched to their Stable two months ago)
The point is that Xiaomi.eu firmwares for most phones (I just checked, Redmi 9T is on the list) require TWRP to flash
That means if people recommend the TWRP as there, it nust be the right one
Once you have TWRP you can back up your boot partition. You will get boot.emmc.win and that will be your exact stock boot.img
You can still use the Patch and Flash method to install Magisk (as described you earlier), by patching that boot.emmc.win
