Indian Mi3 (MIUI6) : Not able to Root (Tried All that I Can)

Friends,
Need your expert advise to root my Xiaomi Mi3 Indian (Running Stable MIUI6).
Based on the suggestions/tips given forums, I have doing following things.
I have tried following things ---
1) Tried flashing using SuperSu 2.45 using updater app - NO Luck, It just can't open the zip file (for that matter updater app can't flash ANY ZIP file except ROMs)
2) Tried Flashing SuperSU 2.45 using Mi recovery, but it stops at 98% (Same thing for any other Zip file except ROM)
3) Tried flashing TWRP and CWM using Mi Recovery, but Again as I reported earlier, it just stops at 98% and gives error
4) Used FastBoot, to Install TWRP/CWM but somehow after completing all the operations, When I reboot to recovery, I see Mi Recovery and NOT TWRP or CWM?
5) I have also followed youtube video given by "Andy Geeks" but no luck, it again reboots to Mi Recovery and not in CWM.
I just need to root phone to install Viper4Android. Any help is highly appreciated.
I have MIUI 6 In Indian Mi3.

Please mention which version of cwm did you use.
like r9 / r10 / r11 etc.

Here what i did:
-First updated my phone(official MIUI V5) to MIUI V6(OTA)[full wipe]
-Download CWM recovery r7 final version Cancro
-Download latest SU.zip
-Go to updater> select update package> CWM recovery and update
-Go in recovery mode>advance> select system 2
-Select Install from sd> selcect su.zip>select system2>flash>reboot
- You will get "Fix root" select "yes" to continue.
P.S Me too rooted my phone just to use V4A(MI3 W)

any recovery except cwm r7(and before) somehow don't work with mi recovery flash or fastboot flash! Recoveries like TWRP and cwm r8+ need a custom recovery to be installed.

Happened with me too....
Well, I had the same problem and what I did was that I flashed the r11 recovery using fastboot mode! And then flashed other zips from recovery mode! This will definitely work! I made this account specially to reply to your question

[ASK] Step by Step changing ROM without PC for newbie

hi everybody who still here
i just receive an samsung SII gt-i9305 from singtel (singapore) unlock.
software are android 4.3
if i want to update (android) and get rid of samsung stuff (changing to lineage or other aosp rom) what is the safest way for me

2. mobile odin to flash TWRP ?
3. reboot to TWRP, backup, flash custom rom ?

usually i work with nexus and xiaomi and manage to do it without pc
just root, install twrp from apk
and boot to twrp to install custom rom
but with samsung, i have no clue
any help plz

With PC
1) Flash TWRP via Odin3
2) Flash Custom rom and opengapps via twrp
3) And finally flash root addon
Without PC
Your phone should be rooted first, then install Flashify app from play store, download twrp image for your phone and you can flash it with Flashify

Whatever guide you're using that says to install SuperSU, just replace that with the Magisk zip instead and it should work...

Thanks God .
Easiest way to install TWRP AND root VIA Magisk..
Passed Google safetynet check too
Download official rootkit from here:
= https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72287096&postcount=1
(read entire topic once)
Installed latest version for TWRP mido from this page = https://dl.twrp.me/mido/twrp-3.2.3-1-mido.img.html
Reason - So you have latest TWRP
Installed magisk instead of supersu (download latest magisk from here) = https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68966662&postcount=1
Rename AND Replace the latest downloaded TWRP file to recovery.img
and latest magisk to SuperSU.zip
These files are in Rootkit\nk7\ folder
VOILA you are done..
With USB debugging enabled connect your phone to PC and run the main file "Redmi Note 4 (SD) ROOT Toolkit.exe" in Rootkit folder.
It will automatically start the fastboot process.
Once done.. Follow instructions as listed in main toolkit topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72287096&postcount=1

Clearing up TWRP ambiguity versions + rooting MIUI pie

There is confusion over which recoveries to install for Redmi 6 (cereus).
Failure to install the correct TWRP will result in a hard brick with no chance of restoring the device without an authorised account or going to a Mi Service Centre.
If you are currently on the MIUI Oreo ROM:
You may ONLY use TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
The recovery by either TWRP or LR.Team is both ok.
If you are on the PIE rom:
You MUST use TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2 nocrypt Pie is confirmed to be working by me.
To root MIUI pie, follow the instructions in this post from 4PDA. This is because you will be unable to decrypt data.
You need to create an account to download the patched boot.img. You can either create one yourself or ask me or someone else to PM you with the boot.img. I will not attach it to this thread because it is not my work. The files have now been attached. See post below.
All credits go towards the respective recovery authors and 4pda

OK here are the boot files from 4pda

I did something wrong just don't know what
I tried with OrangeFox and when rebooted in recovery the phone would not turn on and just vibrates.
I was lucky because I just needed to open and remove the battery to get the phone back up.

So just to get it right (please correct me if i'm wrong):
Starting from unlocked MIUI stock with android 8.1 base:
0) Download patched boot image from OP
1)Download TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
2)Download Magisk 19.3 Stable (would the latest stable also work https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445?)
3)Download official Pie Rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip
4)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP
5)Enter TWRP -> Flash the Pie Rom -> Flash patched boot.img -> flash Magisk
6)Boot into system -> Leave the device alone for 2-3 minutes and install Magisk Manager
7)Download -> TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2
8)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP/OrangeFox
would this be the correct procedure?
cheers

?????????????????????
Why don't you skip steps 1-3 and just use XiaoMi Flash to install 10.4.4.0 via Fastboot by 'saving user data', then follow the instructions here? XiaoMiFlash will overwrite your recovery with the default so there is no risk of a brick. Then Flash TWRP Pie, flash boot img, flash magisk.
As I have said, you will brick your device. If you have TWRP Oreo, and then you install MIUI Pie, you will brick your device. You are doing EXACTLY what I told you not to do!

It didn't come out as clearly as you think. maybe it's my own deficiency.
btw whenever i flashed any update via TWRP the recovery got replaced by stock recovery as well.
(I don't tell this to call into question that your suggested way of doing was the most safe way.)
Is XiaoMi Flash available for linux as well?
edit: do you know if the latest magisk stable 20.0 would also work?

I'm not sure - I have never flashed any MIUI ROM in TWRP. It seems normal though - the updaterscript probably tells TWRP to overwrite itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-miflash-linux-t3708847 It's a bit complicated

This work for me :
1 - Install Pie Rom https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip with TWRP 3.3.1 https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/62 or with another method.
2 - Shut down the phone , go to fastboot (Vol - and power), plug to computer.
3 - From the computer fastboot flash boot boot_10.4.4.0_R6_mgsk_193.img (see the second post of this thread).
4 - fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0602-REDMI6-CN-wzsx150.img
5 - Recovery (Vol+ and power)
6 - Install Magisk 19.3
Reboot and enjoy

Hi, currently I'm on stable China mui v10.4.3.0. Do you have boot.img on that v10.4.3.0. Currently link only provide boot.img for v10.4.2.0 for the china version. If no how do I get those, can I just backup them from twrp, Then create patched boot img with those backup boot? Thanks

The flashlight and the camera does not work after flash the boot boot_10.4.4.0_R6_mgsk_193.img [emoji848]
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
View attachment 4862683

I have the camera and flashlight problem too. Any fix?

Unfortunately, I didn't find any solution.
Currently, my phone does not start, has a black screen and vibrates all the time. I can't run it in any way
EDIT:
Hi.
I was able to bring the phone to life. Get instructions on how to get to the battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9FH88b16bc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAflA4UKLLY. In orangeFox recovery I checked the flashlight, it works.

That makes us two. My phone is unusable at the moment. I thought the root was responsible for the camera bugs, I uninstalled magisk, the bug was still there. I tried to reinstall MIUI 10.4.4 ang got an error. I've wiped everything including vendor and system.

I clean dalvik and cache and for now the phone is working even, after flash the patch boot.img

Hello this is the steps i did but when rebooting to recovery i end up on blackcreen or mai i say powered off screen with the device unable to boot to recovery,any ideas what i did wrongly?

It seems there is something wrong with that boot patch. I followed a procedure on youtube and my phone is succesfully rooted without any bug

@ambyy

Hard brick caused by flashing wrong TWRP is indeed able to get solved with unplugging the battery.

thanks i'm currently waiting for the bootloader unlock count down
can you give me some instructions to flash TWRP on the phone cause i'm kinda new to this stuff

Use latest magsik manger apk extract your boot.img from your stock firmware then patch boot.img using magsik manger then flash the patched boot.img and first of all unlock your bootloader I recommend you use mi unlock sent request for unlocking your bootloader

Unable to install official TWRP in Redmi 8, Miui 11.0.7. It installed. and then vanished when rebooted. and then boot looped. Had to flash original recovery and boot img to reboot.
Had made sure that I didn't boot to system after flashing TWRP. and boot to recovery instead. It flashed okay. Could use the root after installing Magisk. But on reboot, all was gone. Boot looped.

hi bro how did you unlock bootloader on redmi 8 its on 11.0.6.0

Hey people, I have the same problem installing TWRP. When I reboot after installing twrp.img, the recovery mode show me the recovery from the original ROM stock. I made this process hundred of times and gets the same result, original Redmi recovery erase TWRP recovery.
If someone know any solution I would really appreciate it.

It's listed all over here just do some searching . Different models have different methods.
