Thanks sooooo much!! You literally saved my phone! I got it bricked after dozens of attempts found on the internet and your method worked like a charm!! Thanks again!

to root should i install twrp and then magisk or can i do it with stock recovery?
Can you do a step by step please? (im really new at this and scared to brick the phone hahaha)
If i have to install twrp can you tell me how to backup the stock recovery from my phone just in case i have to go back to stock recovery?

Yeh the same for me can we have a way to resolve this.

Thank you

i want to ask, is this works with ze500CL? i want to unlock bootloader with this way

Hey, Since Asus Unlock Tool doesnt work any way to unlock?

Magisk patching, recovery, and OTA questions.

I've just ordered the Mi Max 2 on Cyber Monday for $189.99 USD on GB, I've already applied and gotten approved for Xiaomi bootloader unlock.
While waiting for my phone to arrive I've been trying to do the necessary preperations for flashing Magisk.
I've never used Magisk before as my current Zenfone 5 uses SuperSU.
According to the release thread for Magisk the new Magisk Manager can patch the boot.img directly.
My question is, will the below steps work?
-unlock the bootloader
-install magisk manager
-download the full rom for the mi max 2 and patch it with the magisk manager
-flash the patched rom?
Would this work and would I be able to receive OTA updates using this method?
I'm asking because using TWRP means no OTA updates and that's a pain.
I want Magisk just for root, adblock, and camera api module to use google camera HDR+
I can't find any answers to my questions anywhere as all guides and threads talk about using the TWRP method and all say TWRP can't recieve OTA.

if you rooted forget about OTA updates.
u need to download recovery flashable update zip files against small size OTA's
this is a little hack for OTA updates.(if you have a stock recovery.img) ive not tried though
flash existing flashable rom. this removes (magisk / supersu / all system modification )
flash stock recovery
flash ota update via stock recovery
again u can flash magisk to get root.
u need to repeat the whole process whenever a ota is available (i would prefer to download the recovery flashable zip and flash it in TWRP)

no need to patch rom/ boot.img just flash magisk.zip in twrp it patches automatically.
manual patching is required only for certain specific devices.

So, worst case scenario I'll still need to TWRP and install that way. Is the current TWRP compatible with MIUI 9 on the mi max 2?
MIUI 9 has been rolled out the the Max 2 locally.

Redmi 4X - Unable to install Magisk

Hi,
I tried to flash Magisk on my Redmi 4X (using TWRP 3.0.3) no error during flashing, but then after booting completes, i don't see Magisk anywhere and phone doesn't get rooted.
ROM: MIUI GLOBAL 9.2 STABLE (9.2.5.0)
TWRP: TWRP Recovery (cofface) 3.0.3-0
Anyone has any idea?

Install magisk manager manually. Either search internet for magisk manager apk or extract the zip and install apk from there

Get the boot.img file from the fastboot images of your miui version, install magisk manager, and install using patch boot image method, patch the boot.img file then flash this patched boot.img file to boot in twro recovery!

How do I save my root after flashing miui10 beta Rom?

I am using Redmi 4a . Rooted with magisk and recovery is Twrp. It. I don't want to lose root access after update. tried FlashFire but it crashes when I open it .
Help appreciated !

I'm using miui10 (beta) developper Rom (miui_HM4AGlobal_8.10.25_d36c3e7df5_7.1.zip) and it is true that a big update (mean when it's the entire ROM) replaces twrp and crashes root.
You just have to install again twrp with fastboot method in order to flash SuperSu (the one i use) in order to retrieve root.

Hi, when used to use MIUI i installed pitchblack recovery and after the miui update it didn´t dissapeared so there is no need to always flash the recovery but the magisk fil you have to install again because the update flashs the stock boot img.
