Your unit should be fully charged
OEM unlock and USB Debugging enabled and allow your host computer
Steps:
1. Connect your tablet with your host computer
2. Open prompt and locate to your adb folder (platform-tools) and enter
Code:
adb reboot download
If it doesn't work, look at your tablet to see any prompt to allow your host computer
3. Open your Odin. Make sure auto reboot is not checked (but TWRP isn't overridden). Choose AP and locate your TWRP file. You may see secure check failed. Don't worry. Just press and hold power+volume down+home key together and wait for few seconds.
4. Enter TWRP by pressing power+volume up+home key together. You should see the boot screen. Keep pressing these buttons until the boot screen disappears. You should enter TWRP.
5. Locate your memory card. Flash systemmode SuperSU first, go back, and flash padded image as "boot".
6. (Optional) wipe cache and dalvik cache.
7. Reboot
8. It may take a while to boot up
9. You tablet rooted.
Hey, this works! Thank you for writing it up!
Success on a Samsung A6 SM-T280 (version 5.1.1 if memory serves).
Instructions weren't clear enough, got **** stuck in toaster...
Nah jk, it worked man!
EDIT: This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.... I lost root and did a reset and did it all again. This time after I got it rooted, I got rid of the SuperSU and downloaded the one from market. It updated binary easily.

Hi guys, has anyone tried APP2SD after rooting.?
After Step 3 it takes me to a warning screen with two options 1. Vol up to continue 2. Vol down to restart device.
So I go with option 1 but instead of taking me to TWRP it takes me back to download mode and at the top left corner this is what is shown.
ODIN MODE (In Red)
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE (In Blue)
MDM DOWNLOADBLOCK: O (In Red)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T280
CURRENT BIN: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
FRP LOCK: OFF
USB Init Start!
USB core reset done
I made sure to uncheck auto reboot but couldn't find anything about TWRP not being overridden so maybe that's the problem, what am I doing wrong?
Can someone do a video tutorial about this root?
Sorry for the dumbness, but i have never used this adb, this is only confusing part.
I laptop running windows 10, all drivers, files on sd card as you state.
Any further guidance i would appreciate.

i advise you to search youtube on how to use adb. This is how i learned. Its too complicated to write it. But when you see video its easy. In simplest way adb is cmd opened in adb file. Than in cmd you write commands like adb flash, or adb format and stuff

Hey everybody
My friend gave me his Mi 9t Pro to repair it as he bricked it accidentally and he knew I had experience with changing ROMs and recoveries.
From what I know, what he did is tried to change dpi and then phone jumped into bootloop.
Let me just state that:
- bootloader is locked
- there is no custom recovery
- I have no authorization for ADB
I am stuck and would be really thankful for any ideas. Wiping data is not an option at the moment as we want to recover data from the phone.
Dropping battery to 0% and then charging didn't work.
Adb is only possible at the very short moment phone gets into boot animation, but as I have no authorization I can't pull files from it.
For whatever I tried ADB sideload when connected with Mi Assistant in recovery didn't help me neither.
If you have any ideas please share them with me, I'll appreciate that a lot

I can't see any way you're going to keep the data. Recovering the phone is going to wipe everything. Without an unlocked bootloader I can't see any way your going to be able to access the data first before restoring the phone.
As far as restoring the phone, if you can access the official recovery, then you should, hopefully, be able to flash an official recovery ROM from there, or so I believe, I've never actually tried it.
If that fails, then you will need to EDL flash the phone.
This involves taking off the back to put the phone in EDL mode, then paying someone, who has an authorised account, to remotely flash the phone for you.

Yeah, that's kinda hard situation :/
I can't really flash recovery ROM, cause official recovery has no option for that and adb sideload didn't want to install 'update.zip'. just rebooted the phone and that's all.
I've seen that it's actually possible to put device into EDL without having to disassemble the phone, but fastboot command just reboots the phone.
Thanks for answering either way

Because not possible if your bootloader was locked to enter EDL mode, then AFAIK you need Mi Account with authorization to flashing with EDL mode.

Are you talking phones in general, or this phone specifically. For this phone the only way is to take the back off and do the 'Test point' method. I've never heard of anyone successfully entering EDL mode using any other method.

ADB sideload needs the phone to be put into ADB sideload mode first, so to speak. This is why you have the ADB sideload option in TWRP. You don't have this option in the standard recovery.

Also make sure you're using a good USB cable and also try a different USB port.
Also try using your friends PC. I assume they have previously connected the phone to the PC successfully before, so they should have the correct drivers already installed.

In this case your only option now is to EDL flash. Sorry. Search for guides on how to do this, within these forums. XDA admins have been removing contact details of anyone with an authorised account, who will remotely flash for you. These people charge for doing this, so it's against XDA policy to give details of people who perform paid for services. You will find recent posts from people who've got details of these people who can EDL flash, that will kindly allow you too PM them for details of such persons.

Have you tried looking at the .bat files miflash executes from the fastboot images. You can flash system etc.. without dating perhaps this will reset the dpi
Hi All, as this device is fairly new and there is not much clarity on things so, I decided to create a master guide as you see below. I am also attaching a PDF version of this guide as I have not formatted this XDA post to what I feel it should be like. You may download and follow that, I will keep updating things as I find.
Lets start
1. Unlock Bootloader1.1 Apply for Bootloader Unlock
Enable developer settings
Go to Settings>About phone/My device> All specs> Hit MIUI Version 8 times
Access Developer Settings from Settings>Additional Settings
Enable OEM Unlocking option
Now login to your desired Mi Account that you wish it to be associated with your device (Mi account should have a mobile number registered for OTP and verification sometime asked by MI flash unlock tool)
Your unlock bootloader wait time starts now. Wait for 7 days (168 hours from the time you added MI account) to unlock bootloader
1.2 Unlocking BootloaderSo you have crossed the wait period…. Now follow below to unlock assuming you have all the USB drivers for Mi devices (usually auto installed when you connect mobile)
Warning: All your userdata (including pictures and files) will be wiped out
Download official Mi flash unlock tool from this link: https://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u1106245679/5.5.224.24/miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24.zip
Boot into Booloader: Power off your mobile then hold Volume Down + Power Button till fastboot bunny pops up
Open Mi Flash unlock tool downloaded in step 1
Sign in with same account that you used to sign in in Developer Settings in step 1.1.d. It may ask to verify your account with OTP. do it.
Click Unlock on the tool.
Your device will be unlocked and rebooted. Wait till reboot.
Congrats… you have an unlocked mobile device now
Now let’s go to Rooting your device for which we will have to flash TWRP to Mobile
2 TWRP Flash and Rooting2.1 TWRP Flash
Download and Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot for windows for this link: https://androiddatahost.com/wp-content/uploads/Minimal_ADB_Fastboot_v1.4.3.zip
Download unofficial TWRP (only one available as of writing this guide) from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi....6.0_11-0_LOCAL-20220203-01-vili.img/download and rename it to twrp.img
Also download Magisk from below link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v24.0/Magisk-v24.0.apk we will use it next section for rooting.
Rename the downloaded magisk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip and copy it to your device’s storage
Copy the above twrp.img file to Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (not necessary if you know some directory navigation using command prompt)
Boot mobile into bootloader (follow 1.2.b)
From your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder open Cmd here.exe file to access the ADB tool
Connect your device to PC
Verify if device has connected successfully using the command below
Fastboot devices
This should return your device id
Now boot into TWRP using below commands
Fastboot boot “twrp.img” if you pasted twrp.img in minimal adb and fastboot folder
Fastboot boot “path to twrp.img” if you did not move it to the minimal adb and fastboot folder
Let the device boot to TWRP
In above step we just booted by TWRP which is temporary. Now let’s flash it to make it permanent:
Go to Advanced settings in TWRP and click Flash Current TWRP
Reboot to TWRP
2.2 TWRP Backup of Current Rom
You should have a working TWRP
Boot to TWRP and navigate to Backup section
Select all partitions and swipe to confirm
If you see error in backing up, uncheck Data and EFS partition backup
The backup should complete successfully
Have this backup copied to a PC for emergency wipout of your mobile
2.3 Rooting/Flashing Magisk
Go to Install in TWRP and select magisk.zip you copied in step 2.1.d
This will flash magisk and root your device. Now reboot to system from recovery
Once you have the device booted, rename the magisk.zip to magisk.apk again and install the magisk app on device
You may update if you see any updates to magisk or app
2.4 Passing Safetynet
Download this magisk module zip from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QJHPpL4R8fcxjB35XbcpaCOipKzpvL2I/view?usp=sharing
Go to magisk app settings and enable Zygisk (beta) also enable Enforce Deny List
Select Hide the Magisk app and give any desired name for Magisk to hide its identity
Now go to modules page in Magisk app.
Select Install from source/storage option and chose the downloaded safteynet zip
Reboot
This will pass safetynet but still Indian bank apps won’t work. Keep following below for clear
Go to magisk settings and enter Configure DenyList
Add all the apps you want to hide magisk and root from (such as phonepe, Gpay)
Don’t leave any service from the selected apps unchecked
3. Flash EU RomWarning: All your userdata (including pictures and files) will be wiped out
A TWRP backup of current rom is recommended before following the next steps
You can see section 2.2 for the instruction on backup
Download Fastboot EU rom from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17825722713688263895
Extract all the contents in zip file to any normal folder
We will be using Bootloader/Fastboot mode. Boot into Bootloader: Power off your mobile then hold Volume Down + Power Button till Fastboot bunny pops up
Connect your device to PC
From the extracted folder Open windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat(for windows).
You may execute appropriate similar named file if you are running Linux or MacOS
The EU rom flashing process will start. Hit “Y” on keyboard to accept Formatting
Wait patiently while the PC does its Job.
You may see a long pause post “writing Cust” command depending on PC configuration. You should wait for 5 minutes at least, then try hitting any letter key on your keyboard, the process continues this way.
You may hit letter key whenever you see unusual pauses during pushing of super partition file sparse sending 1 of 9 to 9 of 9
Wait till process finishes and reboots
For TWRP and Rooting you can follow the same guide in section 2.
Updating to Miui13/Android 12 EU Rom
Check out this guide to Update to Android 12
Happy Rooting… Njoy your device.
Lastly.. All the credit goes to respective owners, I have just compiled everything together and in an easy manner. PM me for credits.
Do let me know if you have any suggestions and corrections.
Thanks & Regards,
Abdus Saboor Asad

Quick question if you allow me.
The unlock boot loader timer starts ticking even without hooking the phone up to the mi unlock tool? Just the dev options, OEM unlock and login to mi account is sufficient?
I remember I messed around with this when I tried to unlock my Poco F1 at the time.
Thanks

Good question... I think we should hook once, that's how I unlocked. But I feel it should work without hooking as well.
Anyone should test it and update for us the other way.
When i download the TWRP and boot into TWRP (through fastboot boot "twrp.img"), my touch screen will not work anymore. How could i fix this?

Please make sure you are having latest ADB installed on your machine. The best option is to install Android Studio . Secondly make sure to enable USB debugging .
You can reboot to fastboot through adb commands.
Once you are connected to ADB enter the command below.
ADB reboot Bootloader.
This will reboot to fastboot mode.
Fastboot devices
The above command shows whether you are on fastboot or not.
Now open the unlock tool and unlock your bootloader. Else if you are confident in recovering your device. use the command below
Fastboot flashing unlock
Hope the above helps.

The problem was the phone cable
This TWRP from the first post is Android 12 too?
I have redmi note 10s. I bacame bored of miui because of several bugs. So i decided to mod the device with a nice custom rom. I started the process. Because it is a mtk device, it has complicated flashing process than snapdragon devices. I entered the fastbootD mode and cleared the system by using adb command(which i dont remember). Then i flashed the custom rom. By mistake, I locked the bootloader by typing adb command fastboot oem lock. But now due to complicated case, the device is showing your system has been destroyed and when i try to force reboot it into fastboot, it still give systen destroyed error(means fastboot mode is inaccessible). Can anyone please help me to fix this issue without using edl pins? I am in a great issue
I cant go to service center as my device is out of warranty
in google there is a pc program than can unlock bootloader of mediatek devices, search for it
Bro i cant access the bootloader, so unlocking it doesnt make any difference
I want to restore the bootloader.

Okay so first of all download "mtk client"
Than open the mtk client
It will give you instructions on how to connect your phone, take back of everything except system(super),vendor and userdata. Tap on flash tab there you'll notice a option called unblock bootloader tap on it and your bootloader will be unlocked
Bro Will this restore my bootloader or only unlock it because if it only unlocks then your help wont work.

I have redmi note 10s. I bacame bored of miui because of several bugs. So i decided to mod the device with a nice custom rom. I started the process. Because it is a mtk device, it has complicated flashing process than snapdragon devices. I entered the fastbootD mode and cleared the system by using adb command(which i dont remember). Then i flashed the custom rom. By mistake, I locked the bootloader by typing adb command fastboot oem lock. But now due to complicated case, the device is showing your system has been destroyed and when i try to force reboot it into fastboot, it still give systen destroyed error(means fastboot mode is inaccessible). Can anyone please help me to fix this issue without using edl pins? I am in a great issue

You need to see the PM I've sent to you. You will find it here.
Start from BROM mode - that is always available. Then you can use mtktool to restore everything. I have an article about it on my blog, but I am not supposed to post it here... find it in my profile, or send me a PM for help.
Hi there.
I wanted to root a Redmi 10S device. Bootloader was also opened. The flash went during fastboot mode, then after the fastboot reboot command, the device restarted, but it only shows "Redmi" and the word android at the bottom. I tried to access recovery and fastboot mode, but powr+volD only restarts the device and only the Redmi inscription is visible.
I don't know what they call this state in which the device is.
If there is a suitable link on the forum, I would appreciate it.
Hi there!
What did you flash excatly?
I mean, did you flash the whole phone, or just a patched boot image?

Just the boot.ini. but I think this would make fastboot mode work. But it's not working

What should I use to reflash? Mi flash? This is the NS
Yes... I probably mixed up the boot file in the downloads folder and not the correct received flash

Then, you don't have to flash the whole phone again, just flash back the original image, and try rooting with twrp and magisk zip file (rename the apk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip, and then flash it in twrp)
If you can't install twrp, or something went wrong, take a full backup from your phone (like using google's backup service, and Miui backup--> it 'll save the backup to internal storage/miui/backup/AllBackup) and then ypu can reflash the phone with mi flash tool, but don't lock the bootloader back, and after flash, you shuold enable oem unlock in developer settings.
One quick question:
Did you enable oem unlocking in developer settings, before trying to flash the modified image?

yepp, enable oem unlock. But fastbootmode is required for all operations. But fastboot mode doesn't work.
What do you mean it doesn't work?
Can't enter into fastboot mode?

Can't enter fastboot mode. The device only shows "Redmi" lettering. If fatboot worked, I could have done it already. power+volume down, the device just restarts and shows "redmi".
Hmm..
And if you holding the volD and power buttons together for a longer time?
Like a min, or sth
I had a similar situation, but after a few tries it went into fastboot mode

it just restarts, as long as I press and hold volume down+power, if I don't press it, it just shows the redmi text
I apologise, but I 've currently ran out of ideas. If I can find any solution, I 'll post an answer about it.

Hi there the forgive my on my bad english and text.
The Only thing u can do is restoring the firmware by using brom mode, Look it up or follow the steps i'll give u....
First keep in mind brom works best Without the batary conected . So remove the thin cover plate at the back u can loosen it with heat , after removing the cover move all screws and remove the housing so u can disconect the batary at the mainboard .
Next u will have to install the Vcom drivers according your chipset mediatek etc.
For the Vcom drivers and install of it u can follow https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16640.html
U must download or allready have a firmware file in fastboot format , Open up SP Flash tool and go to optionsd and select connection, click the w/o battery option and close it. Open your scatter file and than click on download . Insert your phone wile holding your volume down or up , with my device a redmi note 10s it was the up and down to getter for it was flashing the rom. this should flash your device back with a working fastboot and working rom.
Hope u will succeed...
Greetsss

Yep, this guy here 's got the point. If you can't flash with sp flash tool because auth fail, there's a method to bypass it.
You can find the tutorial here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/
I also got some help from this guy's post, many thanks to him too.

Let us know how it's going with it! ;D
I can unbrick the device at any time. There is another problem. An incorrect boot file is probably being copied. After TWRP you will never enter android again. But TWRP also only loads up to the subtitle. I tried a lot of methods. Now I will try google p ex. android and make it root.
But, if someone can recommend a device intended for gaming, but easy to root, then I will buy one

If you can root it easily, then the expensive one is good for me! Normal root was not available for typical gamer phones for years. If I buy something for which root may not be available, then I'm wasting my money...
