help please root mi8

hello everyone
Buy a Chinese mi8, unlock it waiting for the days that xiaomi tells you.
I installed the global version, and everything works correctly, but I want to change the rom.
I've tried to install TWRP with adb and it's impossible, it tells me the ADB template that OKEY, but never restarts in recovery mode with TWRP, so I can not install magisk, or any rom that is not official.
Is there any way to install a ROM (.zip) without TWRP?, how do I do Root without magisk? Has it happened to anyone?
thanks!

First of all, you're in the wrong section.
Second you should install via fastboot as described a thousand times AND reboot directly to your TWRP image via fastboot command.
The you can flash another from and root it.
Third, I'd like to strongly advice you to do some research about android, flashing etc to make sure that you know what you are doing.... So many people are moaning about bricked devices....

It's not the first cell phone I've flashed that you're not smart.
I have followed the steps as they are, and as you can see in the image, everything seems to be installed correctly. But whenever I restart in recovery mode, I get the xiaomi no twrp.
Do you know why?

You are trying to be smart? Well...
Why didn't you post your exact steps with fastboot in the first post?
Now it's clear what you did wrong. I already expected it. And you did NOT read what I wrote:
You are rebooting your device with fastboot reboot. In this case your twrp is wiped out by the XIAOMI recovery. Use: fastboot boot yourimagename.
btw, why are you using such an old TWRP? You won't be able to flash actual roms.
So I'd like to come back to my advice in the first answer....

I've tried twrp-3.3.1-0-dipper too, and fastboot boot xxxx.img.
And it hasn't been restarted either.

But all the steps that indicate, I have passed them and I never install the TWRP correctly.
1. my mobile phone is unlocked (with the padlock open)
2. I have the official rom installed
3. I try to install twrp with all the commands you have told me, and I never restart the mobile with twrp. I've tried new, intermediate and older versions. and nothing
Is there any way to install an unofficial rom without TWRP?

You can't flash a ROM without TWRP and Magisk is the only way you can root your phone that I know of. If you don't even know these simple things/haven't done simple research you might risk to softbrick or even hardbrick your new and shiny phone. There are many guides on how to flash TWRP but you can PM me if you want more help.
Also you don't install TWRP with adb, you need to use fastboot...

Extract "boot.img" from your stock rom and flash it.
Reboot again to TWRP, then flash magisk. Reboot

With software like winrar or 7zip click right click on recovery rom and extract, then turn off your phone, press volume down and connect usb, you will see fastboot logo on your phone. Put previously extracted boot into same folder with minimal adb fastboot, flash with command fastboot flash boot boot.img

Magisk 22.0 update killed phone will only boot into fastboot

Have never had an issue went to update to latest Magisk app, followed directions and restored it first, everything seemed fine, then went to flash Magisk itself from the app (Direct install) like always, didn't seem to do anything, checked the Magisk log, said unknown image type and that it failed, rebooted phone, phone will now only reboot into fastboot mode. Not the quality I've been accustomed to and certainly does not belong in the stable branch. Now can someone please tell me what I should do to fix this hot mess?
Edit: Fixed boot with backup boot image. Included log of attempted but allegedly failed update.

Was able to restore boot image from TWRP. Here are what the logs said when I tried to update Magisk boot:
- Target image: /dev/block/sde1
- Device platform: arm64-v8a
- Installing: 22.0 (22000)
Parsing boot image: [/dev/block/sde1
- Unpacking boot image
! Unsupported/Unknown image format

Hey could you please tell how did you do it? Mine won't boot into recovery at all

Same thing on my OP7,
I can't go to recovery mode, only fastboot, and the phone isn't detected when i type 'adb devices'
Is there any way to get my data back?

fastboot reboot recovery gets itself back in the [email protected] fastboot?
try reflash TWRP and flash magisk uninstaller

Cable works huh?

I got same problem. Fix was install again whole factory update zip file which I received during last phone upgrade from vendor. (oneplus 5T)

First: When you're in fastboot-mode then use "fastboot devices".
You don't need the recovery to solve your problem!
1. extract the "boot.img" from an existing original ROM on your PC
2. use fastboot command to flash that original boot.img
3. reboot to system - your phone will work well as before
You can root again, but use Magisk 21.4. There seems to be something buggy in version 22.0.
Version 22.0 worked properly with my Xiaomi Note 10 Pro (Android 10) but it didn't work with my Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G (Android 11).

You mean a full OTA?

Either you flash a full image of your existing ROM, or you extract the boot.img from the ROM archive (i.e. .zip) and flash it (as boot)

The same happened to me, Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro. Are Magisk team aware of what is happening?

How do I flash a ROM from bootloader? I am on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (mido) and have the same issue. Device won't boot into anything except fastboot. I tried flashing recovery using fastboot flash recovery <reccovery>.img but it got stuck in bootloop again.

yes, full OTA. I did not play with restoring it from TWRP and I had no idea which part is affected. But Phone was not wiped, it kept everything.

My pc did recognize the device in fastboot mode
I booted the recovery via fastboot
Install the last update without wyping anything
Install TWRP, Install Magisk 21.4
Everything is working with 21.4 , i will wait for next realease

brick is magisk 22

I downloaded the Magisk-v22.0.apk file and renamed it to Magisk-v22.0.zip I went to recovery and installed from there everything worked

None of this happened to me. Downloaded and installed via wifi through the normal Magisk update. Maybe you guys are doing it over mobile data?

TWRP rooted boot image for OOS11 Beta 2. (OB2)

Pre rooted boot image with TWRP included for OOS11 Beta 2, OB2. This is not for the beta 1 hotfix. Flash in fastboot if not rooted, and through a kernel manager if you are already on beta 2 and rooted but don't have TWRP because flashing kept putting you in crash dump mode. Remove lock screen as a precaution before flash. No need to wipe anything.

Just like any other image I tried, this gets me into a boot loop on the spinning circle. I can get into twrp, but the magisk root seems to be breaking something. Any ideas?

"fastboot boot" and "fastboot flash" are do the same thing (to flash). If you use "fastboot flash" you have to manually reboot the phone to system or twrp, it is auto reboot after finished flash (based on image if flash TWRP it will boot to TWRP) if you use "fastboot boot".

Sooooo, any ideas on what I could do?

So you are using op6T-EU. I don't know if eu image different from groble image or not but you can try to patch boot image yourself.

Well, I already tried that too, so really not a clue as to why it wouldnt work... Probably should just downgrade, backup and get lineage or so

OOS stable boot image and patched magisk boot image both for 11.1.1.1.

Leaving this here as i ended up boot looping from installing custom kernel, and it being a new release i was pulling my hair trying to figure this out.
Flashed through fastboot with "fastboot flash boot_a XX.img, fastboot flash boot_b XX.img"
Magisk included as thats the one i ended up using.
Save yourself the headache if you are planning on installing a custom kernel for now, and wait till the kinks have been ironed out.

I found a workaround. Firstly go to fastboot mode and flash stable.img from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...os11-open-beta-2-3-and-stable-latest.4316563/ and boot into recovery. Now download TWRP and magisk and transfer to internal storage. Now flash TWRP and then download full OTA from here And put in storage https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6-6t-oxygenos-11-1-1-1/
and flash it. Don't reboot once it says done. Go back and re install twrp.zip. Now reboot. Go to recovery and install magisk and clear dalvik. Now reboot and enjoy.
Thanks to
KizuYuna and Skanda Hazarika for providing stable.img and OTA respectively.​

Thats what worked for me, had to improvise as the OTA was brand new when I installed it, and bricked it with a new kernel, and had tried to fix it by flashing an old boot img but ended up complicating things even more.
You could always grab the stock 11.1.1.1 boot img and patch it in magisk manager yourself but procedure would be the same in fastboot

Just for the benefit of all (if it matters), noticed that Magisk wasn't passing the Safety Net check and was showing failed for all 3. Used this fix and all is well now (Used the Sept 13 update on the page)

previously patching with stable 11.1.1.1 and broke some major functionality (eg: wifi crash, mess up video player and codec), now try to patch with magisk version, will update later

In case someone would like to now "How to do it" until next time this is how I did it:
How to install OOS update and root via created patch.img file in the Magisk app
1. Download the full version eg the OOS 11.x.x.x.zip file on the computer, and copy the file to the phone's internal memory as well.
2. Run the payload_dump program (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962605222) to extract a boot.img from the computer. You have to extract the payload.bin file from the OOS 11.x.x.x.zip file and place it in the Input folder, then run the exe-file and wait for payload to complete, then copy over the boot.img file found in the Output folder to the phone.
3. Go to Magisk app on the phone, click on the top install "Magisk", click "Select and patch a file", search for the boot.img file you created.
4. Now, Magisk will create a patched magic.img file from the boot.img file (can be called eg magic_patched-23000_xt8QR.img)
5. Copy the magisk_patched-xxxxxxx.img to your computer's "Root folder" where you have stored ADB files, etc
6. Now install the OOS 11.x.x.x zip file (should be in the mobile's Internal memory) via Settings> System> System updates and the "gear"> Local upgrade
7. When done, DO NOT reboot but go directly to Fastboot mode + connect cable to the computer
8. On the computer, type from your "Root folder":
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-xxxxxxx.img
9. Reboot the phone - you are rooted!
