Everything Stock + root with OTA updates? - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

There were some years since i rooted my last phone, all is quite different now and magisk is new to me.
So, tomorrow i'll receive my 9T PRO and i wanted to know if its possible to just root it with magisk and keep using stock recovery and installing OTA updates without having to re-stock the phone to update and reroot again.
If so, is there any guide? I didn't find any.
Thanks a lot!

Firstly you will have to wait 7 days before you can unlock the bootloader because Xiaomi dont let you do it right away you need to be logged into the phone with your mi account and use it actively for about 168 hours before you can unlock it. I believe you can boot twrp instead of installing it and flash magisk to root and still be able to receive ota updates but be sure to only boot and not install it.

Ok then, i'll wait and try it out. Thanks a lot!

good luck you should be fine.

Yes if you take any official update you will usually lose the recovery and stock recovery will be installed.

are u using mi9t pro/k20pro or you just good at operating system?

I'm using mi9t Pro in the UK.

Orangefox recovery has the ability in its settings to let you install OTA updates like normal.

Hi m8, I am in the same boat and want to avoid re-flashing everything when a new ROM/OTA comes out.
From what I understood, in order to get OTA and keep root, I will have to 'boot' via TWRP img and then flash magisk to get root which will then allow me to keep stock recovery/root even after OTA? Is there a step-by-step for this that you can link plz?
Also, does TWRP get auto erased after flashing magisk/reboot or do I have to follow some extra steps?
I just don't wanna go through the hassle of installing rom.
Thanks

If you boot to twrp rather than use the command fastboot flash twrp then when u reboot you will still have stock recovery because you only booted to twrp which will mean theoretically you can receive ota updates when they come out but i think after an ota update you wil have to flash magisk again in order to root. Hope it helps.

I think I am going to use the method where I get a patched boot img via Magisk manager and flash it via fastboot. After that its just a matter of selecting the option to patch boot img after every OTA update.
Thanks again for your help

I made the same thought.
I have already patched the boot file and rooted the ROM...
Everything works ok.
I would like to have stock AOSP feeling but they still have many bugs, so for now i am fine only rooting my phone.
Below i attach 2 screenshots from this forum showing the procedure for your info...

Great toolkit but I have a couple questions. In the instructions on your site and youtube video it has a step to flash noverity. Is this really needed or is it just a precaution? Also, could I just flash the recovery via fastboot and then just pull noverity and magisk from their source and flash them? I always like to flash things myself the normal way so I understand what's going on.
noverity is just to protect from bootloop. i use noverity on all Nougat Devices. and also it can't cause any damage to device so don't worry.
correct meaning-
you can Root Your Phone without modified boot.img which is Must Require on Many Devices.

Thanks for the quick response. I have one more question. Can I substitute SuperSU in place of magisk? After using the toolkit, I tried to update magisk to the latest version (13.2) using magisk manager but instead it gave an error. It didn't brick my phone or anything but when I rebooted and went into magisk manager it showed the phone was still properly rooted but reported that magisk wasn't installed. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue or not. I also tried flashing the latest version of magisk using twrp and got the same error in magisk manager upon reboot.
At any rate, do you see any problem with using SuperSU instead?
Flash SuperSu 2.79 make Sure you have a backup because Bricking Change me present.
or try with No verity.

Are there any bugs that you found? on DP4 my 4G signal is often down
I'm updating from 9.5.11
I can't confirm that will erase data or not
So far so good. Android Auto works as well, which is a huge bonus. OnePlus gestures work great too. So far haven't run into any bugs.
Edit: pulling down the notification shade is a bit laggy. But I didn't do a data clear from an original upgrade from Pie. Will try that tomorrow. Reboot cleared it up for now.

Thanks for clarifying about Android auto and ... . Was waiting for this to try the 10, the UI design of oos is really outdated and not modern, i was hoping for a more modern look
Is it possible to root this DP?

Yes. I've bootloader unlocked the T-Mobile ROM and installed TWRP, then I just flashed the version before this one (i.e., DP4) in TWRP. I was pleasantly surprised when all my icons were their same places after reboot! If you haven't bootloader unlocked, you could backup important files to external storage before MSM tool converting to international then updating DP5 locally. TBH, I'd just wait for T-Mobile to OTA their official carrier variant of Android 10.
Runs much smoother than DP4 for me. The settings menu design was also changed I think.
Does the standard installtion method with twrp and magisks still work?

Aside from more frame drops than I used to have on stable pie it's running fine! (dirty flashed it so that might cause them) Animations are really sleek.

Yes (see attached).
I installed the full DP5 from TWRP, then immediately installed TWRP .52 and Magisk 19.4, rebooted back into TWRP and reinstalled both TWRP and Magisk again.
Rebooted back into TWRP, cleared cache, data and internal storage.
I already had DP4 installed beforehand.

It depends which version you come from to DP5, error 7 is usually due to firmware incompatibility.

OTA Update with Magisk

I've Mi 9T Pro with Global MIUI 10.3.3.0 and magisk installed (i patched and flashed the boot image). I don't have a custom recovery installed.
Now i see that the last version of firmware is EMUI 11.0.3.0. My phone notify me only the OTA for the MIUI 10.3.4.0, so how should i update the phone without breaking or bootlooping? I supposed:
1) Flashing stock boot image of 10.3.3.0 (is the right way to remove magisk? I would reinstall later)
2) OTA to 10.3.4.0
3) Maybe OTA to 11.0.3.0 or installing manually
4) Flash Magisk patched boot image of 11.0.3.0.
Is the correct way? I'm missing some step? I don't want to reset the whole phone..
Thanks in advance.

If the update MIUI 11 is not shown from your system:
• Download the correct recovery ROM from here[/b];
• Put it in the folder "downloaded_rom" in the root of your internal memory;
• Select local update and then the ROM you placed in before;
• Install Magisk with the method you prefere (I suggest to modify the boot.img from a fastboot ROM).

But what about the current rom with Magisk installed, should i remove it first? Can i overwrite the boot image?
Flashing the full firmware (about 2.5gb) will erase my data partition?

It's not needed to uninstall Magisk before, because when you'll install the update through recovery, it will overwrite the boot partition. With the stock recovery you should be able to keep all your data and settings, but I suggest you to perform anyway a backup! Just in case.

Thanks again for the info. But just to be secure, here is reported the way to apply OTA with Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md
There talk about uninstalling Magisk and restoring boot image, A/B Partitions, non A/B Partitions, and i don't know which partitions my device have. Moreover it talk about to don't modify the /system but i don't remember if i touched something, maybe the build.prop...
But, based on your previous response, i deduce that this instructions are valid only if i flash incremental update. Instead, if i flash the full rom there should not be problems, i'm right?

Do not care about A/B partitions, as the Mi 9T Pro is a single partition device. So no problem related to installing files/updates to both partitions
Anyway, if the system detects that you have Magisk installed, simply uninstall it from the Magisk Manager, than proceed to the update

Recovery ROMs must be flashed in the recovery and have .zip file extension; fastboot ROMs must be flashed with MiFlash tool and have .tar.gz file extension.
First of all, identify you device (global, EU, China, Indian...) looking in your device information. You have to remember these two letters in the label of the ROM:
E.g. PFKEUXM, that indicate your phone vendor, while the first letter indicates the Android version.
In few words, you need the recovery ROM. You'll need the fastboot ROM if you want to install Magisk without TWRP (search in Mi 9T Pro forum for: "Install Magisk without TWRP") or if you want to perform a clean flash with MiFlash tool.
Last thing: you need to download the ROM, not the firmware.

The updater app can only install updates for the same region. Your OP suggests you have a global phone, but it looks like you're trying to flash an EEA update. Currently 11.0.1 is the latest global version.

OK, yes you have the EU version already.
I don't know for sure, but I guess it won't jump from an Android 9 - MIUI 10 ROM to an Android 10 - MIUI 11 ROM.
You could try updating to the last MIUI 10 build first, and if that works, see if it will then update from the last 10 build to MIUI 11.

Any rom version can install mokee. It's very easy, anyone can do it.
I am 60 years old, I am Vietnamese, I do not know English, all instructions are available online, I use Google, Google Chrome and Google translate.

I've been toying around with Android since it's Lollipop versions, rooting them, intalling custom ROMs etc. Probably 6 years. More than 7 devices.
As far as installing a custom ROM on this phone (Redmi 7A) is concerned, the different versions, like Indian, Global have different drivers or HAL's.
So, after successfully booting up into MOKEE OS on my variant 3-4 times, Torch, Audio, Video, Calls...... Nothing worked.
And to be very honest, there was nothing mentioned about this in MOKEE OS thread, as to which version of this device is not compatible with the ROM. The only reason I messed up was because the introduction of GSI ROMs has made the custom ROM creation process easier, but introduced a ****load of work in some devices, and ending up causing trouble.
This was the reason I requested all the steps in the thread so I could verify if I was missing some important step as far as the Indian variant is considered.
But thanks to everyone, I successfully booted Mokee ROM with everything working on my variant, including superuser privileges.
Also I messed up partitions in TWRP, and ended up with only 22gigs of Internal storage available, lol.
Thanks.
Tried @Tenome7 patched boot file for latest nightlly mokee OS 10, it bootloops, patched my own boot file, it still boot loops.
It seems impossible to get magisk working in mokee OS.
Ok I figured it out, AFTER you flash the patched boot.img you need to format the data partition, you'll loose all your data, however the ROM will boot.
I'm running Android 10 mokee os, more stable and no bugs compared to lineage os 17 rom

Sorry for being so late to reply here. I would suggest using MIUI v10.2.10.0 as the base over which the Mokee OS needs to be installed.
As far as root is concerned, I tried Magisk but it gave me bootloops every time. As an alternative to getting root, I flashed the AddonSU installer which I downloaded from the Mokee Official site. You would just need to find it on the website.
I hope this helps. If you have further doubts, I'll stay a bit more active here. :fingers-crossed:
I want to unroot, but when i choose restore images in magisk manager it says stock backup doesnt exist. I downloaded the patched boot and stock boot.img prior to rooting, i didnt use magisk to patch the stock boot. What do i do now, i want to unroot and install ota on my xiaomi mi a3.
Can anybody help me?
I need the new version of patcher and the creator's website doesn't load me correctly.
Anyone have got pine 11.0.7 global patched boot image??? Cz yaalex patcher is down showing internal error

Hi
carried out
bootfromrecovery.bat - Reboot to recovery, connect to PC, install adb driver and run this file. this will extract boot.img from running phone, patch it on the fly and flash back patched boot.img
..but it didn't happen
* Requires internet connection. (it downloads latest Magisk release during process)
..I still don't have root
someone will help
Thank you
I asked the developer about a similar issue with the downloadable patcher, and he suggested me to try with the online one, which is more up to date.

How To Guide How I flashed official ROM updates...

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for any bricked phones or otherwise but this is how I updated to the latest version.
Flashing backwards has not been tried by myself, use at your own risk.
Only flashing the same version of ROM was tried, global for global.
I tried the local update method that is built into the MIUI ROM, my bootloader is still locked, and you can only use OFFICIAL MIUI ROM's.

Hello,
I am on Miui 12.5.4 rooted with Magisk right now, no TWRP, and OTA update 12.5.6 is available.
With the above procedure, can I install the update without losing root and without losing my data ?
Thank you very much.

You've older version of miui installed with twrp and device is rooted.
1) you don't need to wipe anything. Just flash the rom and If you want you can wipe caches after flashing the rom.
2) TWRP might get replaced with stock one so flash twrp immediately after flashing the ROM. Also flash DM Verity disabler zip otherwise miui will replace twrp with stock recovery.
3) According to topjohnwu, the method of getting magisk by flashing in recovery is old & deprecated and maintained with minimal efforts & no longer recommended.

Ok so for those interested, here’s how I did it : 
- in Magisk I chose uninstall - restore image
- did the ota the normal way before any reboot
then had to reroot :
- downloaded the fastboot firmware here
- extracted boot.img from archive and transfered it to phone
- in magisk click install then select boot.img
- magisk writes a new file magisk_patched_[random_strings].img, copied it to pc
- booted the phone in fastboot mode
- used fastboot.exe with command fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
Done. No data or settings lost.
