Root MIUI 8 - Xiaomi Mi Note Pro

Hello,
Anyone found a way to fully unlock the Mi Note Pro on MIUI 8 with unlocked bootloader?

Yes, first flash TWRP recovery use only 2.8.3.0 then use format after that reboot to recovery then flash sMiUi through adb sideload.

what's smiui?

sMiui is a Miui based ROM you can find in this forum but some say it has a kind of spyware in it

I succeeded with rooting MIUI 8.0.1.1 (LXHCNDG). Before I used the weekly ROMs, now I wiped the cache, dalvik, data, and system. Then installed the stable MIUI 8 with TWRP, installed Kingroot, rooted the phone with it. After I installed the SuperSU from Play store and voila, phone is rooted and everything is OK, including Titanium backup.

from EU to Official Global MIUI 8?

Hi All,
How Do i keep TWRP and flash MIUI 8 official global stable?
right now, Im stuck at MI logo with no progress dots that we usually see after rebooting to system. TWRP is still accessible though.
what I did is:
1. from TWRP recovery -> wipe dalvik, cache, system, data
2. install/flash MIUI 8 global rom zip from internal storage
3. reboot to recovery (TWRP)
4. from TWRP, reboot to System (to prevent TWRP recovery from being overwritten by stock recovery as others say)
basically, I want to retain my TWRP and use MIUI 8 Official Global rom. I'm coming from EU rom 8.0.10.0.
Also, Is it correct to use the recovery rom and not the fastboot rom?
Thanks in Advance, and will surely hit thanks with any help I can get.
Flash it via fastboot.

Installing Official MIUI using TWRP Discussion

Hey Guys, anyone already tried the link below on installing Official MIUI using TWRP?
How to Install Official Rom with TWRP Recovery!
I've been meaning to try Official MIUI for a long time now, and by doing so I ran obstacles along the way either using MIFlash tool or TWRP - nothing works. But I just saw the method I linked above, and could be the missing piece I need to install the rom thru TWRP.
The OP of that tried it with Redmi 3S. So I'm just wondering maybe someone here already made it worked with MI5?
I could update from global dev 6.11.10 to global dev 7.1.19 with miui built in updater . After downloading nougat it rebooted to twrp and installed the rom normally. The only thing is i lost twrp replaced by stock one .

What should I wipe in TWRP - data; system; cache; dalvik? Which of them?

recommended is for you to wipe data,system,dalvik and cache to avoid possible force close window pop out when opening an app, however if you are going to one rom to another eg. aosp-miui global-dev or anything in particular i found out that wiping everything (avoid the efs partition of course) is the best choice for peace of mind, one final thought is only do this if you had other means to bring your phone back to life if other recovery method such as the ability to boot into edl mode is working for you and always do a full system backup of your current rom just in case, hope that helps

Currently, I am using MIUI EU rom and TWRP 3.0.2.0 . Ive tried several times of flashing official global MIUI and failed several times. So tried my luck with miflash tool months ago, but still unsuccessfull. And that's the reason I posted the method above, maybe it is the thing that I am missing.
But, it still continues to puzzle me why others , and even you, can successfully install official MIUI thru TWRP. weird.
can't find the line they talk about in that script. Did anyone managed to install miui trough TWRP on the Mi5?

How to update to miui 9 with twrp installed without losing root and data?

Hello
My mi5 shipped with miui 8 global stable. I then unlocked the boot loader, rooted it and installed twrp.
Now that miui 9 is out I would like to try it. The updater notified me of the new versione and I can download it but I don't know how to install it considering that I do not have the original recovery.
It is not a problem for me to lose twrp if at least I can update and keep root access and my data. Is it possible? How to do it?
You must have stock recovery then this method.
http://en.miui.com/a-232.html
Or try zcx-twrp
but anyway there's a risk of boot error so backup important data.
Your best shot is probably ZCX recovery. But you'll probably end up with bootloop. Also you can try flashing stock recovery if you have it.

Rooting and installing xposed on the new Xiaomi Mi 6x

Hi,
Just got the new Xiaomi Mi 6x. Couldnt find any info online regarding rooting it since it was recently released.
Is it possible at the moment to root this device using magisk? if so is there a twrp version i can boot just to install it ?
Will xposed work with this miui version of android ?
will the international version get a stock android rom that i can flash on this mi 6x ?
Thanks & Regards
Edit : already unlocked the bootloader at Xiaomi's MI service center.

magisk is do able.
in fact I did root my mi 6x with magisk, just grab the beta version (magisk 16.7), since the phone is a treble device.
as for twrp, you can get it here (you can even d/l the unofficial LOS 15.1 as well) :
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/forum/xiaomi/mi-6x-wayne/
the annoying part is, whenever you're in miui, you need to format data for twrp to be able to read/write the data partition.
I haven't really play with this phone just yet, and yes I didn't install the lazyflasher as well.
but the good news, this device is bootable with GSI
as for exposed, I had no luck with systemless exposed... got bootloop on the MI screen.
but maybe that's because I didn't flash the lazy flasher, or should I learn about exposed on a treble device
Can someone give me mi stock recovery 3.0 for this device?

Hello,
Is there any progress on xposed on mi 6x. I have a new mi 6x and MIUI 9.6.6.0 Chinese and English stock ROM is pre-installed. And it is andorid 8.1. Can I install xposed this phone (MIUI 9 and android 8.1)? Should I stay at MIUI 9. Because I get MIUI 10.2.5 OTA upgrade but I haven't applied this update yet. If xposed is not compatible with MIUI 10, should I stay at MIUI 9.6.6?
Thanks

Hi!
I think, first what you need - make TWRP backup with maximum partitions set. You can use for this action this TWRP, folder contain scripts for run TWRP from PC and flash recovery to phone (used TWRP-3.2.3-0810-XIAOMI6X-RU-wzsx150-hypeartist.img).
Use run TWRP only. For run TWRP you need enable USB debugging on phone, connect to PC, allow access from this PC and run Run-TWRP.bat
After boot to TWRP you need not allow modifications on system partition and make full backup. This backup need copy to PC from internal storage and keep for future.
When you make backup, you can what you want - you can install Magisk via run TWRP from PC or upgrade and test MIUI 10

Hi! I'm not use MIUI and cannot answer on this question.
I take all backups (TWRP and partition backups) and tried to install xposed and I failed all of my tests.
I have mi 6x and using original stok ROM MIUI 9.6.6.0. I haven't flashed TWRP yet. I just boot TWRP with fastboot commands. I installed Magisk 19.1.
First I tried to install standard Xposed (probably works with SuperSU, but I am using Magisk). Installed Xposed installer.apk and flashed xposed-v90-sdk27-arm64-beta3.zip from TWRP. Result is bootloop.
I flashed xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm64.zip and bootloop solved.
Second I tried to install XposedInstaller_3.1.5-Magisk.apk and flashed xposed-v90.2-sdk27-beta3-topjohnwu.zip from TWRP and result is bootloop.
I flashed xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm64.zip and but bootloop not solved. So I restore TWRP backup (boot, system and data partitions) and bootloop solved.
I tried several different things but all resulted as bootloop.
Any idea how to install xposed to this system?

Xposed need a DEODEXED rom for working and MIUI is a ODEXED rom so xposed don't work and that's why you got bootloop

MIUI 12 update with TWRP

Hi everyone!!
I have the update notification for 12.0.2.0 global, but I have a rooted phone with TWRP installed.
If I wish to update through TWRP without losing my data, apps and root what can I do?
Is there any method?
Where can I download the update file to flash with TWRP?
Thank you for any help!!
hi there,
if you also have the Mi 9 CEPHEUS- Global version, just download the .zip Rom from here:
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.2.0.QFAMIXM/miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_V12.0.2.0.QFAMIXM_a559c4c1fe_10.0.zip
this link is provided in this page from XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/down...ing-out-several-xiaomi-redmi-mi-poco-devices/
install normally with TWRP, and then flash Magisk 20.4 as well and reboot.
What I personally did, was taking a backup of my apps with Titanium and wiped (Dalvik, Cache, System root, Vendor and Data) in TWRP before flashing the Rom to prevent any possible bootloops.
Bu you can also try it without the major wipes and see if it works.

Thank you for for reply and help.
So I did exactly like you explained, but before going into TWRP I removed my mi account and any fingerprint/passwords, then in TWRP i did only wipe dalvik and cache to avoid losing everything from apps.
And voilá! It worked!
Thank you again!!!
Oh brilliant!
And yes you did it right about removing your account and lock screen, which I forgot to mention.
