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.

Yes. I patched my boot.img with magisk, then flashed it using "fastboot flash boot_ab magisk_patched(boot.img file name).omg"

Caveat: I bricked my device like many others after unlocking the bootloader and flashing xiaomi.eu ROM. I had to have a authorized EDL account holder flash a factory ROM (in my case I had a China variant flashed with the Global ROM), after which I flashed xiaomi.eu latest stable ROM and then rooted it.

does google pay still work after root?

Seems it was an issue with setting the active slot in the installation script. Solution is described here and since then it looks as if no more bricks occur

you need to hide Magisk Manager and also Magisk hide Google Play, Play services and Google Services Framework

I flashed it separately on the second attempt for 12.5.3. The first time I tried flashing the patched boot.img I was greeted with an error.

Hi! I have the latest xiaomi eu weekly installed (21.6.23) as well as unofficial twrp.
I would like to root the phone with magisk, but I don't understand a few things.
Magisk manager require patching the boot.img file from the zip firmware.
I can not just simply install magisk zip file in twrp to root mi11 ultra?
If not, I understand that I have to patch the boot.img- but do I have to do it every time I want to install update of the latest xiaomi.eu firmware?
The second question is about data.
Am I loosing the data by rooting the device by this method?
EDIT:
Ok, I managed. So those are the steps that I did:
I unpacked the boot.img from the xiaomi.eu firmware in my phone. Then I patched the file, and copy this file to the adb installation folder of my pc.
Later it's easy- usb debugging needs to be active in developer options, then connect your phone by the cable to your pc, accept usb debugging in your phone, start CMD in the adb folder in your pc and write the command:
fastboot flash boot_ab nameofthefilewhatmagiskgenerated.img
then
fastboot reboot
And done, root works. Data are untouched.

I did it easier, boot into twrp and flash magisk.zip done

Also I'm on official EEA firmware, with original stock recovery, so doesn't matter what rom you use. On xiaomi EU you don't even need adb because you already have twrp injected

Is there anything to worry about when you update the phone while having root access?
Is the following order right?
1) update Rom over twrp and delete dalvik&cache
2)flash magisk.zip again
3)boot into system
Right ?
I have the latest EU Rom 12.5.7...

Just take this bat with decrypted Star twrp 3.5.1
unzip and klick Install-Star.bat
fastboot boot star.img are the commands in there

Question [Solved] Mobile won't boot anymore ! :/

Hi guys, i just flashed (with a light wipe) the last rom for my Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra (obtained on the update section of parameters) and i first lost all my config.
So, i decided to restore the backup i made just before flashing and here is the drama, it boot directly into TWRP and i can't seem to find my storage anymore (tried file manager)
TWRP also tells me that no OS is installed, please help, i'm desperate
I think the first step is to recover access to internal sdcard, and maybe then i can restore a backup
Thank you !

simply, Fastboot and install official rom using mi flash tool.
thats one of the penalties you'd pay of installing eu rom.

Thank you very much, sir !
Will try this and post the result, maybe with a little tuto if it's not already everywhere ^^

So, tried 5 times and not once a good result, the better i can obtain is 12.5.7.0 global working, flashed with xiaomitool. TWRP ok, and i will try Magisk next.
Every other tries solded by an sdcard/os/data loss T_T
That's a mystery. I ran on 12.5.17.0 all fine before this incident and i cannot get it work anymore :/
I obtained rom from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=321331
TWRP from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586336381
Also tried this method again (this was my first method and it worked like a charm till this 12.5.20.0... )

The problem with global is it seems to be greatly outdated (patch from 2021.09, that's a huge security risk to be months backward nowadays, let aside bug correction, new functionnality, etc)
I can't seem to find a more recent global version (updater within settings tells me there's no more up to date version).
Do someone have an idea, please ? :/
What i'm doing :
1. put device on fastboot mode
2. launch xiaomitool and flash 12.5.7.0 global rom
3. reboot into fastboot
4. launch xiaomi unlock and unlock device
5. boot TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img in cmd (command returned all ok)
6. into "soft" TWRP, One Key Inject TWRP
7. into "hard" TWRP > install and give it the .zip rom file
8. after the rom installed, all broken again :/

Hi,
there is no TWRP-ROM available for the Ultra - it's still in fastboot-ROM phase.
Flash via fastboot. Unlocking is just needed once until relocking with orig. ROM.
(Optionally) Copy boot.img from ROM-folder to phone.
Use Magisk to patch boot.img
Flash patched boot.img to boot_a and boot_b via fastboot.
Wait until TWRP-compatible-zip's for the Ultra to begin to appear.

Thanks for that ! ^^
That sure seem a simple task
You're telling me that i can, from my 12.5.7.0 global, patch the boot.img (90mb) from the 12.5.20.0 eu with magisk, flash this with fastboot and that it will work ?
Seems too wonderfull to be true XD
EDIT:
My bad, you said "optionnally", not "alternatively"
So, i'm stuck here, i don't know and can't seem to find the fastboot cmd to install the xiaomi eu rom in .zip format
Do you know it please ?

In all the 11 Ultra A12 weekly EU ROMs, the format is fastboot only. Just extract the .zip file to a folder on your desktop, connect your phone in fastboot mode, power on and vol down and then click on the update bat file. If your coming from a different branch, click on the update and format bat file ( the bat files will be in the upper most extracted folder). It is a simple as that .

Question Problems to root cn version 13.0.5 android 12

Hi, i'm trying to root my CN version 13.0.5 without the twrp, I'm using the magisk to patch the boot file, but after patch and use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img, the mi 11 ultra just stuck in the mi logo. I'm not been able to root my phone, right now, how to root the CN version 13.0.5?
i did the same root with the android 11 and worked, something change?

hi, did you install magisk canary and not magisk stable?
I have just Root Xiaomi.eu A12 Miui13 with the same method and it work.

Hi. FIrst - better to use Magisk 23.0 - as you will still have Magisk hide. But more important - just the "fastboot boot boot.img" command instead. Once you have booted without issues you can go into Magisk and patch the real boot image file from there and restart. This is how it always worked for me. Not really sure what is the big difference there but as I said - that worked for me.

When you are running the miui 13, copy the boot.img from fastboot folder to your phone(remember the location). Open magisk app, choose install and search for boot.img on your phone. After patching is done, copy the patched file into your fastboot folder on pc. Boot into fastboot, type fastboot flash boot (and drag the patched file from fastboot folder here) and hit enter. after flashing fastboot reboot

Thanks for the help, i'll try to patchin a few hours and back here to give the feedback!

It does not format. That's just for root. You can flash the rom in fastboot again or flash the boot.img again from the folder images

Great, It also worked for me Xiaomi.eu 13.0.9.0.

I have difficulties too rooting my Mi 11 Ultra with Android 12. I have installed the latest canary of Magisk and when I patch the boot.img and flash it the device stucks on Android logo. When I boot the device with fastboot boot magisk_patched***.img I'll get a black screen.
Can anybody post a patched boot.img from Xiaomi.eu 13.0.9.0 Rom? Perhaps it works when I flash this one on my device.

i just lost my root without reason, i just restarted my phone, than no root anymore and not being able to installing again ;D. what a hell

Start from the beginning by flashing unpatched boot.img and use Magisk v23. V24 has nothing but problems. I was frustrated for a few hours with it and going back to v23 solved everything.

Thanks for the quick reply

I'm updated whiteout format data. Everything looks ok.

Alright, so I was previously rooted on 12.5 (global), non twrp. its not necessary for rooting.
I did the ota update to v13 miui (global). but as its a switch between v11 and v12 of android its not possible to install magisk into an empty a/b slot.
I tried to fastboot flash your global miui boot.img after patching it with magisk and it did not work.
I suspect the boot.img to not be compatible with the global rom.
So I opted to flash the Eu fastboot version of miui 13, I set up the phone.
Then patched the stock boot.img with magisk and fastboot that. Done phone is now rooted on v13 miui. and passing safety net check.
phone data was lost as i had to switch from global to eu.

Can anyone confirm that we get widgets and other features that are not found in the miui 13 global I want to make the switch but I want to know what would still be missing

The global fastboot rom is now released. follow same steps above to have rooted global non twrp.
V13.0.1.0.SKDMIXM (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vili/stable/V13.0.1.0.SKDMIXM/)
-Edit-
Ive also updated to the latest via ota V13.0.2.0.SKDMIXM (Stable beta). but as it detected the boot.img was modified it downloaded the entire recovery rom. Installed. Lost root access.
I then fastboot re flashed the patched boot.img from the V13.0.1.0.SKDMIXM and it works.
so im rooted/ safetynet check passed on V13.0.2.0.SKDMIXM (Global)
roms can be found here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vili/

This thread is about XIAOMI EU custom rom

This phone is so ****ty, I'm trying to do OTA update via 100mbit/'s network in netherlands from about two f***NG weeks and it can not be finished. I can't belive that I have paid 800€ for so big ****!

Hello
For the ROOT it works perfectly (without TWRP, just with magisk)
You unlock the bootloader and wait 1 week, you extract the boot.img, you modify the file with magisk and do the command wtih adb with the modified boot
Very simple
(If you want to extract the rom file by yourself you can just extract with a little tool after your download the rom
, you can extract the fil with the payloaf file, for that, just have a look in the method 3 in this link)
