ARE YOU SEARCHING TO ROOT YOUR REDMI 2 ?​
DISCLAIMER:​DO THIS ON YOUR OWN. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU AND YOUR DEVICE.​PLEASE DONOT MIRROR THE LINKS​
CLICK HERE FOR NATIVE ROOT​
IF YOU ARE GETTING STOCK RECOVERY EVEN AFTER FLASHIN CWM, SEE THIS POST​
STEP 1- FLASHING CWM ON YOUR PHONE
1.At first, you'll need the "adb" and "fastboot" tools. Get them HERE
2.Extract them into a folder, let's name it "Redmi2" (You can give your own name to the folder. That doesn't matter here.)
3.Now get the CWM .img file from HERE
You can use Philz Touch recovery also. Get HERE
4.Rename cwm.img or philz.img you downloaded above and as "recovery.img" and place it in the Redmi2 folder.
Now the folder will look like this-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.Press and hold "shift" button and right click in the blank area of the folder and click on "open command promt window here". The command prompt will open.
6.Now turn off your Redmi2. Wait until it vibrates. After it's vibrated press and hold "Volume down and Power" keys together until it boots into "fastboot mode". Now connect the Redmi2 to your PC/Laptop through USB cable in fastboot mode itself.
7.Get to the command prompt now.
Now type: " fastboot devices " (without these- " " )
Like this-
8.Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command
9.Now enter the next command: " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "
Like this-
10. Now this ends...
Type the last command: " fastboot reboot "
Like this-
11.Now your phone will reboot with ClockWorkMod(CWM) installed. CHEERS...
STEP 2- ROOTING YOUR PHONE
1. Firstly get the SuperSU.zip from HERE
2. Now copy the downloaded zip to your sdcard (not in any folder just in sdcard)
3. Boot into CWM recovery by turning off the phone and pressing "Volume UP and Power" button together after the phone vibrates.
4. Once CWM main menu is displayed, select "Install from zip" and browse to the zip that you downloaded earlier and select it.
5. Install the zip. If you get any warning, ignore and proceed.
6. After the installation is complete, reboot your device. (I think you can do that)
7. VOILA..!!! YOU ROOTED YOUR REDMI2

get "Flashify" app from playstore and first take backup of stock recovery and then flash the cwm with it. Thats it..
Actually I didn't knew this method before i made this guide..
Anyway, fastboot gives us a different feel, doesn't it? :v

wait I don't know flashify but it looks it needs root to flash the recovery ... but I think I need cwm to root ... so I think this is not gonna work ...
Ok got it, this may be useful to anybody face the issue with recovery:
I discovered you can workaround the issue in this way:
Temporary boot into CWM:
HTML:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Root the device using CWM
Flash CWM using flashify
[ CWM when you log out ask you for root so maybe it is not necessary to use the zip file ( but I'm not very expert so maybe I'm wrong)]
You can install GAPPS with CWM `gapps-kk-20140606-signed .zip` but be careful, whenever you update MIUI you will look all software installed using CWM. ( superSu and GAPPS for example )

thanks
thanks!

Okay bro :good:
I'll update the OP

I confirm #postadelmaga the CWM recovery does not stay, the only way to do access it is the fastboot boot recovery.img Here's how I succeeded with two phones now.
power on, start wifi, do Miui updates
install ADB or the files above on PC
reboot to fastboot with voldown+pwr
now comes fastboot boot recovery.img
in CWM, sideload SuperSu and Gapps
connect you preferred VPN (if in China)
install and update all Google apps needed
delete most Chinese apps

hey i m unable to flash recovery plzz help

Hi buddy could you plz port touchwiz from galaxy prime?

The simpler solution is to use the xiaomi update tool and flash a developer rom that has builtin root.
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-4-10.27429/
howto & root from permissions menu:
https://watchpage.wordpress.com/201...redmi-note-4g-developers-roms-version-miui-6/
But to have the cwm running on the phone is always a safe bet for some recovery actions.

not working.
I tried this method. its stuck with flashing the recovery image. always showing flashing the recovery image.... that's all.

Intro:
This thread will serve as a location for basic how-to guides for the Xiaomi Redmi 2. I'm going to start off with a couple of the more obvious ones and go from there. If anyone has any suggestions for additions please feel free to let me know.
By attempting any of the processes listed this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches on fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.
Index:
Post #1 - Rooting your Redmi 2
Post #2 - Flashing Custom Recovery
Post #3 - Flashing Custom ROMs
Post #4 - Flashing Custom Kernels
Resources:
Everything you need for Xiaomi Redmi 2 is available in the below given thread -
[INDEX] Xiaomi Redmi 2

Rooting your Redmi 2:
This guide will root your device through Stock MI Recovery(Works with TWRP also), but this is not Native Root. A new app named SuperSU will be installed, which will give root Permission.
Note:
Rooting does not Void Warranty.
Caution:
This is a safe process, but I am not responsible for anything bad that happens to your phone.
In most cases this approach of rooting should not block OTA updates.
Steps to follow for rooting:
Download the Root.zip and Copy the file to the folder 'Internal storage' (root of internal storage).
(File at the end of thread)
Open the Updater app, Press the 3 dots at Right Top Corner, A menu will open. Tap on “Choose Update Package“ and select the Root.zip File.
Wait until device will reboot.
After reboot a new app SuperSu will be installed.
Open the app and Choose "Continue".
Choose "Normal", Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, device will go into Boot Loop.
Note - Don't Choose TWRP/CWM, it will brick your device.
After sucessful updation , press ok.
Your Phone has now Root Permission.
Open any app using Root permission and SuperSU will ask for Permission.
Enjoy your rooted Redmi 2.
Un Root The Device:
For Un Root , open the SuperSU app,tap on Settings, Choose Full Unroot.
Your Device is Un Rooted Sucessfully. The SuperSU app will be removed.

Flashing Custom Recovery:
From Mobile:
Install Flashify app from Playstore
Once installed, access the application through app drawer.
Allow root access now and get navigate to Flashify’s home screen.
First take a backup of your recovery in case something goes wrong. (RECOMMENDED)
Now tap on recovery image and by "Choose the file" menu locate the .img file you want to flash.
After successful flashing it will ask you to reboot your device.
Done! You have custom recovery on your phone.
From PC:
Enable USB debugging, go to settings>about phone and then tap on Android/MIUI version 5 times. Developer Options will be enabled. Now go back to settings>Developer options and enable USB debugging.
ADB and Fastboot Drivers installed on your PC. I can provide you the drivers but it would be a better option to install MiFlash to get all the necessary drivers and Miflash software with you for future use.
Install Miflash on your PC. Lets suppose we installed it in C:\Xiaomi folder.
You can see two folders, proceed to "adb' folder
Then proceed to "Google" folder.
Proceed to "Android" Folder.
We are at our destination.
Now Hold down "Shift" button on your computer keyboard and right click with mouse on an empty part of the window. You will see that in the menu that appears, you have an option - "open command window here". Click on that
To verify if ADB is working and installed correctly, type "adb version" in the command window that opened without the code. You should get the adb version which means its working fine.
Turn off your Phone. When its completely switched off, press and hold "Volume Down" and "Power" button together and then the phone will turn on in Fastboot mode.
Use the USB cable to connect Phone to PC.
Copy the Recovery.img in the Android folder where we are running the Command prompt. (C:\Xiaomi\adb\Google\Android in my case as i installed Mi flash in C:\Xiaomi folder)
Now go back to command promt and enter the following commands -
Code:
fastboot devices
Once you enter that command, you will get a non-empty name for the device meaning the device is connected. Proceed to enter the next command to flash recovery image -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you enter this command, the recovery image will be flashed on your device. Once it is completed, enter the final command to reboot your phone -
Code:
fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot.
You have have now completed flashing custom recovery replacing Stock Mi recovery on your Xiaomi Redmi 2.

Flashing custom ROMs:
Steps to Follow:
Download and transfer the custom ROM you wish to flash to your device’s storage.
Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
Select “Wipe” from TWRP main menu and do a “Swipe to Factory Reset” on the bottom of screen.
Note: This will factory reset your device. If your custom ROM doesn’t require a factory reset, then simply skip this step.
Go back to TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the custom ROMs .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of screen to begin the custom ROM installation process. This may take some time.
Once your ROM is successfully flashed, you’ll see “Wipe cache/dalvik” option, select it and then do “Swipe to wipe” on bottom of screen.
Once cache & dalvik wipe completes, hit the “Back” button on-screen and then select “Reboot System” button.
That’s all. Your device will now reboot with the custom ROM you just flashed. Since this will be the first reboot after flashing a new ROM, it might take some time to rebuild cache and finish boot, have patience.

Flashing Custom Kernels:
Steps to Follow:
Download and transfer the custom Kernel you wish to flash to your device’s storage.
Boot your device into TWRP recovery.
In the TWRP main menu, tap on “Install” and select the custom Kernel .zip file that you transferred to your device in Step 1.
After selecting the .zip file, do “Swipe to Confirm Flash” on the bottom of screen to begin the custom Kernel installation process. This may take some time.
Once flashing completes, hit the “Back” button on-screen and then select “Reboot System” button.
That’s all. Your device will now reboot with the custom Kernel you just flashed. Since this will be the first reboot after flashing a new Kernel, it might take some time to rebuild cache and finish boot, have patience.

Great info, thanks a lot!

1) Switch off the phone.
2) Press the Volume Down, Volume Up and the Power Button at the same time, about 2-3 seconds until the mi logo shows up.
3) Recovery mode menu will appear.

Follow the same steps to boot into recovery and flash SuperSU v2.4.6 zip via recovery
(And remember you are responsible if anything happens to the device)

Cant flash TWRP - error: device '(null)' not found in adb

Hi all.
I would not be writing this topic if everything I did havent failed.
I tried every possible solution to this I was able to find on the internet - nothing has worked so far.
I tried doing this on different PCs - same result.
I flashed Syberia ROM but didnt like it so decided to go with MIUI 9.7.10.12. I already had TWRP at that time but when I flashed MIUI everything erased, I mean everything - data, storage, TWRP everything.
System works fine but I am unable to flash TWRP with constant message: error: device '(null)' not found.
ADB device not found but fastboot works and ADB shows device connected. The phone is authorized with USB debugging turned on, drivers installed on PC, TWRP image file is correct. I am lost :/ dont know what to do.
Please help

there is no need to flash recovery via adb. twrp should be flash from fastboot. turn off your phone, hold volume down and power for few seconds and phone will boot in fastboot mode.

If I go manually to recovery (vol up + power) the phone reboots to stock recovery so the TWRP is not installed. I tried different versions of TWRP. no progress

Type
Fastboot reboot
and now you can go to twrp recovery by manually .. Power off phone, volume up + power
Or you can also do this

fastboot reboot --> phone goes to system
vol up + power --> stock recovery
the problem is TWRP is not flashing :/
it is not USB debugging problem, not USB drivers problem.
The other thing is I can go to fastboot through ADB only when im on CHARGING MODE, it doesnt work on MTP MODE where it should.

brother you just flashed twrp successfully in the screenshot you posted, point is miui, dont let it stick when you boot to system and reboot.
you should, do this. go to fastboot
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img

you can flash other modded recovery which will stick. like zcx

fastboot boot twrp.img doesn't work for me, after it just black screen with MI logo and "Unlocked" for a long time...
can't enter twrp in any way after success flashing :crying:

Need help with this. Can't sideload with adb fastboot is working fine though.

How can I solve "FAILED (remote: This partition doesn´t exist error)"?

From TWRP > tap Advanced > Terminal > run command: mkdir -p /data/media/0/
Copy the rom to your phone internal storage from pc
Install by finding the transfered rom in the internal storage.

UNOFFİCİAL TWRP RECOVERY 3.4.0
**ATTENTİON**
I'm not responsible for any bricked device.
Bugs
- Data encryption doesn't working. But I found a way to mount data. Follow my steps to mount data permanently.
- I couldn't find any other bugs. You'll tell me.
How to unlock your Bootloader?
**THİS WILL FORMAT YOUR DATA**
1- Go to Settings --> About Phone --> Software Information and click 7 times build number.
2- Now turn back to settings and pull down. You will see the Developer Options. Enable OEM Unlock and Usb Debbuging.
3- Now turn off your phone.
4- Hold [Vol Up + Vol Down] buttons and connect your phone to your pc while you are holding the buttons.
5- You will see a green screen. Hold the Vol Up button until an confirmation screen comes up and then only press Vol Up (Don't hold it again).
Now your phone will format itself and your bootloader will be unlocked !!!
INSTALLATION
(Before the installation you must unlock your bootloader)
1- Download the attached files.(Extract Odin,TWRP and USB Driver from the zip and install the samsung usb drivers)
2- Download your stock rom from the download button for a clean install.
(Extract the files too)
DOWNLOAD STOCK
(If you don't want to make a clean install you can skip to step 7 and format internal storage and data over twrp before installing the zips.)
3- Reboot your phone into bootloader (Press Vol Up + Vol Down Connect your phone and after it booted press again Vol Up)
4- Go to odin and click on the AP button and select your extracted AP (example: AP_M515FXXU1BTK4........_.tar.md5)
The verification will take a while be patient.
5- Now match the other files with BL CP and CSC
Leave Userdata blank.
Don't select HOME_CSC and delete this file otherwise twrps data mount won't work.
6- Press start and wait. NOW YOU MUST BE QUICK. After "Super" HOLD ONLY [Vol Up + Vol Down] until your phone reboots. It will take a while wait please. After it boots again into bootloader press Vol Up.
7- Now go to odin click AP, select Twrp.tar and press start . You must be quick again. Enter recovery after install before your phone reboots normal. Otherwise mount data on twrp won't work.
8- Now copy the files (Disable_Dm_verity.zip,Magisk.zip,multidisabler.zip) onto your sdcard or over mtp to your device. Install first Disable_Dm_Verity.zip and multidisabler.zip. Then install Magisk.zip. At last Install Disable_Dm_verity.zip again.

I made it .

Your recovery won't work, I managed to solve your vbmeta issue but it reboots to bootloader.
I built one from source and it still doesn't boot, even though I'm trying to fix that.
Maybe we will get a working recovery soon

It works now.

I couldn't encrypt but i found a way to mount data permanently. You must disable forceencryption on your phone. I wrote on my steps how to disable. It works on me. I've tested it on my m51.

I mixed it from s20 and a80 twrp and we don't need to type any command to mount system. Vendor and other partitions can mounted. These are de differences.

That's already fixed in stable 1 and it works without any problem plus I don't use any hacks to mount the data or don't need to flash other files to mount data.
Just flash twrp files and it works out of the box

No, you haven't fixed it we must type commands into terminal on twrp to mount. On my twrp it mounts automatically. But on yours vendor and other dynamic partitions haven't complete mount support.

After following all the steps and have root, do I need to press power and volume up button every time I restart the phone to have Magisk root or can I boot it normally without pressing anything?

After these steps you can boot your phone normally. Only at first install you need to go to magisk manager and install libraries.
