Cannot root xiaomi mi5

Ok ive been trying to root this phone so that I can change the in call speaker volume which is unusable.
I have no problems with recovery but when i flash supersu in twrp it installs ok but it when it reboots it stays on the logo screen. I have tried different supersu for the mi5, including latest, always the same. I am obviously missing something.
MIUI 8 Global 7.5.19
Kernel 3.18.31
Ideas, thx?

If i remember correctly, you can activate the Developers options by clicking 8 times on the MIUI Build version line in the Phone Settings/information page.
After that you can (if memory serves correctly) activate SU in the developer options.
Even with the global version you have.

[SOLVED] Touch not working at all

Hi here!
I bought my Mi 8 some days ago (China version, since I live there), and yesterday I finally got time to work on it to move to Global or EU_multi.
After some minor trouble (bootloop after installing magisk), the touch screen now is not working anymore: wherever I touch it, no response, both in recovery (TWRP) and normal system boot. Everything else is working, I can flash ROM via fastboot, and the ROM (I tried official China and Global) are correctly booting, but then I should touch the screen to complete the first time boot and I'm blocked, because it is not responding to touches. All other buttons are working (I can turn off/on the screen with power button, and I can hear the related sound). I can boot to recovery and fastboot. Everything seems OK, except the touch itself.
Is it possible that I did something wrong while trying to flash magisk? or disabling dm-verity and forced encryption? or anything else that could have caused this issue?
I tried to flash different TWRP recovery and different official ROMs (China and Global), but no result, touch always not responding...
If anybody have suggestion, please say.
And thanks in advance!

How about going to the thread about 'non-functional touchscreen solution'. It will fix your exact problem. No need for a new thread, you should have searched first.

Popup camera stuck

So after flashing a few roms my sensors became corrupted I found out u need to flash persist to fix them but after I did that the popup camera started freaking out it keeps trying to close itself when it already closed it keeps telling me to calibrate it but after I do that it says could not calibrate I flashed persist through twrp. Right now I really don't know what to do can anyone help me fix this please

EI understand that persist must be flashed together with a factory reset (initial miui configuration)

Reflash your stock miui with miflash (dont lock bootloader). Boot miui up, open the camera app and it will say "calibrating camera" then it will be ok.

Persist partition and sensor

Hello,
I have mi 9 T pro it will function normally and after manipulation or updating the proximity and light sensor no works.
Ok , after researching on the internet i understood that the persistent partition may be corrupt, and to solve the problem it must be repaired, that is the whole point of my question...
- i flash a global and china rom by the fastboot method did not change anything
- I flach a persist image with twrp and orange fox same thing
- i wipe system - vendor - cache - dalvik cache and instal rom via recovery and flach persist image no change
I found a method on XDA where it consists in making an EDL flash but the problem is it always asks me for authorization
I am lost and desperate
Help me please

Any help??

nothing is wrong in this forum
no help, knowing that before it was good and people helping each other

Recently discovered this problem too.
Just followed this tutorial
I've used persist.img from Global v12 here

mystery, the proximity sensor works for a while and it stops and when I restart the phone it works again, and also my screen goes black until I restart too

i have been searching for this solution for past 17 days as my screen used to rotate only after boot ,but later rotation doesnt seem to work until i found this guide ,it works and works amazing
Thanks for the helpful guide

a solution please

[Question] Pixel Experience 12+ on my Redmi 9 is rebooting on lock screen.

Hello, it's my first post on this forum so sorry If I made this thread in the wrong place.
I have been trying to install PE 12 (plus edition) using official PE site (https://download.pixelexperience.org/lava).
After many attempts to do so, I ended up installing different TWRP recovery images and wiping everything from my phone.
Then I've tried installing official recovery image from site and I've installed ROM by adb sideload and it worked.
First boot wasn't a problem, but from start phone would sometimes crash when attempting to turn it on (or, attempting to unlock lock screen. I can write my PIN, but then rebooting happens). When it wouldn't crash (it's not happening every time) everything would be working as long as I don't turn it off. I don't know what is causing that behaviour.
Would reinstallation help or is it hardware problem (not enough RAM etc.), or lack of swap partition?
PS: Updating every app on phone doesn't help, as well as removing lock screen (no PIN etc.).
Update: I have installed different ROM from sourceforge dedicated to my phone version (galahad). It is android 11. Works 100% fine.
