Root via magisk doesn't work

Hi,
I'm on MIUI Global 12.0.4.0 (QCREUXM) rom, and my bootloader is unlocked with official Xiaomi tool.
I tried to root my Redmi 9c by modifying the boot.img file with magisk, and flashing it via adb.
It resulted in bootloop. So I reset back to the original boot.img, and I'm still rootless...
Does anyone know how to root this phone ?
There is no TWRP for it right now.
Thanks for any help.
BTW, is it normal that modified boot.img is much lighter than original file ? (11Mo vs 65Mo)

I am facing the same result, probably the reason is that the device is SAR - System-As-Root, therefore patching boot.img aint giving root previliges and flashing causing bootloops.
Moreover modiying the system.img and flashing it wont give you root ethier.
You can try modfying and flashing the recovery.img while wiping your data as dsecribed in magisk site but every time you reboot, you need to apply the same combo buttons to enable the magisk root.
All we can do for now is to wait for a custom recovery that will probaly never be arrived or im wrong.
BTW: the patched img is supposed to be small as what ive researched, magisk repacker is repacking and compiling it to a smaller img.

Flash pachedboot.img then vbmeta 256 bites file

After flashing boot.img file flash vbmeta.img file it will prevent it from bootloop just Google vbmeta.img download it and flash it through adb tools after flashing magisk modified boot.img file
To flash it in adb type flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
I have successfully rooted my redmi 9C with this method and no bootloop issue

Some TWRP are not working on some versions.
I suggest you to try all versions, if you can.
Flashing recovery does not brick your device, you can flash another easily and safely.
I suggest you to flash recovery using fastboot.

root with magisk doesnt work --> bootloop ?

hello guys,
i want to root my redmi 9 with magisk. i tried to use the "patched boot.img method", but everytime i land in a bootloop.
im on miui global 12.5.3 stable, android 11. bootloader unlocked!
i took that magisk version: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0 (v23.0 - as apk)
than i was on that page: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900381
on that page i took on the left "redmi 9 global" - which calls:
Code:
Stable ROM
Author: MIUI Official Team
Version: V12.5.3.0.RJCMIXM (MIUI11)
Size: 2.2G
i extracted the archive and copied magisk.apk and boot.img to my download-folder on my smartphone. patched the boot.img with magisk. than copied the patched boot.img to my pc.
after that i bootet the phone into fastboot mode. than i flashed the patched boot.img with fastboot flash boot patchedboot.img - used than fastboot reboot and than im in the bootloop.
can someone tell me, what i am doing wrong?
(ps: when i flash the unpatched boot.img i get no bootloop and my phone is starting again - but of course with no root )
thanks

If I understood correctly, as well as you don't mention about that, you didn't deactivate the AVB mechanism by flashing the stock vbmeta image with the command fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta [your vbmeta.img file], which is documented that if Magisk is installed without that procedure, the device is bootlooping (see this guide).

oh, i see. yes, i didnt use that command. but now i got it working. i read that twrp isnt really compatible with the redmi9 and i need another recovery.
i used that now: https://sourceforge.net/projects/shrp/
vbmeta from post #4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dont-use-twrp-on-redmi-9-use-shrp.4334123/
than i did that:
fastboot flash recovery *.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta *.img
fastboot reboot recovery
from there i installed integrated magisk v23.0
phone reboot...got root.

I have read that there are issues with TWRP and Magisk (as far as I know, even its developer mentions that). Although I never got SHRP to work properly on my device and I always get bootloop issues with that. Do you know if it's because of the version I run? I currently run MIUI 11.0.2.0, which I think it's the device's original version.

uh im sorry. im also new to the shrp recovery. i had only used twrp so far.
did you try to flash this version i linked? if its not working you can fast flashback ur twrp. maybe just give it a try?

I don't think I have tried that. I think at the worst case, because I run MIUI I'll just roll back to it's original recovery image. I'm just asking because I don't see mentions of software versions.

what smartphone do you own?

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.

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

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)

Do someone have an idea, please ? :/

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.

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 How to Root 11T Pro on MIUI 13

Hi Guys,
So today I got my new MI 11T Pro after spending 3+ yrs with Redmi K20 Pro. As soon as I opened it and connected to my Wifi, I got popup of MIUI 13 update. I went ahead and completed the same. Can someone please help to know if we can root this phone with latest update? I tried to find but could not find any post regarding the same. Please kindly help as I need to restore Apps backup of my K20 Pro on 11T Pro.. Thank you in advance!
I am on MIUI Global 13.0.1 stable build.

I guess there is no solution to Root the phone on latest MIUI13 update!

You need unlocked bootloader, original boot.img from your rom, PC with working fastboot drivers. (There is not A12 Recovery for our device ATM so you need to do it via fastboot)
ROOT for MIUI 13 on Android 12
0. You need to have unlocked bootloader!
1. Install latest Magisk.apk ( 24.3 works ) https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
2. Place the original/clean boot.img in phone memory ( You can get it from fastboot rom download )

3. Run Magisk app and Patch the boot.img with it ( Install Magisk Option just select boot.img )
4. Copy the patched boot.img ( magisk_patched-24300_XXXXX ) to your PC/ADB folder and rename it to patched_boot.img
5. Boot your phone in fastboot mode
6. Connect your phone to PC
While in fastboot execute the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot

Is this still working ? Because I haven't found a single root for miui 13, Europe version 4th

up until now it's the only way to root the 11T Pro with MIUI 13
