Hi, I am unable to find the required files to root my MI3. All the links that i find after googling don't have the correct files. My MIUI version is MIUI 6.6.3.0(KXDCNCF). Any help would be appreciated.

I used MIUI for about 30 minutes before moving to AOSP, but I thought it came already rooted...
All the same, you can install SuperSU, which is the best root manager. It's on the play store, or you can go to Recovery and flash the zip file in the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

I'm trying to install CWM on MIUI 7. But I'm unable to flash it using Updater. I've tried revision 8, revision 11 and revision 11 u1 by furniel... It just keeps saying something went wrong

Annoying sound from the ear piece
There will be an annoying sound from the ear piece of the device while booting up and while on a call. We all know that,but I would like to ask, is there any workaround for that? The sound really is a head ache causing thing with its low frequency noise

@sarathchandraj
I had the same issue, but the Rashr app helped me. Try it. Just download the recovery image, open Rashr, select "Recovery from storage" andthen select your recovery image. But if CWM is not necessary to you, use TWRP. CWM is buggy on Mi3.

Hi guys, I replaced my broken LCD with the new one recently. I am facing an issue. when replacing the LCD display, my lower charge port assembly was not coming out of the main body. I tried hard and in that process I slightly lifted the metallic part underneath the charging port. I thought that metallic thing is a part of main body. The metal is still with ribbon assembly firmly. not detached. But my loud (external, which is in the back)speaker is not working and also home and back button backlit are not glowing. menu button light works ok. speaker gives very faint sound though. What can be the reason. Speaker is ok I guess, as it was working well before replacement.
I know it's a software related issue forum but as you guys are having the same mobile, I think you all might have an idea about it.

please give QCN file

Hi guys, I am in big problem. .. im using mi3 xiaomi and i just up to mokee 5.1 and its runing. The problem is i forget my gapps. So now im runing without a gapps. I cant flash either roots or even upgrade also. Can anyone help me.....please!!?

Hiii...i am unable to go back to miui 7 from cm 12.1. I have downloaded latest miui 7 build and renamed it "update.zip" and tried it to flash via stock recovery. Installation went fine but after restarting it's getting stuck on MI logo.... Please help.. Missing Miui...

Hello, after many years of running with Ivan's 4.4.4 AOSP I feel like it's time to move to something newer so I wanted to try and flash the 6.0.1 new one seeing as he released the final version. It has been few years since I last flashed a rom so I mostly forgot the procedure. Chcked few threads but overall I still have some confusion. If someone can clear up the doubts I'd be grateful.
Currently: MI3W with Ivan AOSP 4.4.4 and CWM
Here's what I was currently planning to do:
ttp://en.miui.com/thread-209941-1-1.html
Following this guide to merge the partitions and install TWRP.
Now for the questions:
1. Will the flash.bat merge the partions AND install TWRP too all at once? Will it overwrite my current CWM without any problem or do I need to install it separately?
2. Once the flashing there is done, how should I proceed to install the 6.0.1 ROM? Usual procedure? (load zip on SDCard,wipe all, and flash zip).
3. Will Ivan's ROM be Rooted/Have Gapps on default?
Thanks to whoever can solve these doubts for me.

unable to flash gapps
please help me friends, i am unable to flash gapps on cm13, mokee. i am able to flash the rom zip but after that when i flash gapps it gives me error insufficient space..

Hi my friend is having a problem with her Mi3. No custom ROM installed, it's updated to the latest version. After trying to update Hearthstone, and downloading 99%, the download failed with error 903. Looked around for a fix, saw a solution that required clearing data+cache and uninstalling updates of the Play Store app. Did that and now when trying to download the app the error that is returned is
java.lang.SecurityException: No permission to write to /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone/temp.main.1355705.com.blizzard.wtcg.hearthstone.obb:

Other apps (Zalora, pinterest) are installing fine. The phone has more than enough storage space to run the game, upwards of 3 GB
Any advice or assistance is appreciated.

It happened to me like this when I was testing out my own kernel. Have you tried to flash a custom kernel? Try entering recovery mode by holding down the volume up and power button at the same time.

Afaik cancro doesn't have it's boot loader locked. Try flashing twrp with adb and then you can install lineage os OR you could try fastbooting miui.

You can disable frp lock by removing your Google account. This will allow you to flash twrp with Odin.
Disable auto reboot in Odin before flashing twrp. After flashing twrp you can reboot into recovery by holding power and volume down to turn the device off. Then once it's off hold volume up home and power to reboot into twrp.
Now the only problem is you can't flash supersu.zip without formatting data first from the twrp wipe data main screen. This is because the data partition is unavailable due to encryption. Formatting data partition removes encryption and allows you to flash supersu, but now device won't boot after formatting data unless you flash a ROM from within twrp. Only problem is that there are no such Roms yet.
If anyone could create a stock or custom ROM that is a flashable zip you'd be the MAN!
Until then I don't think we'll be able to root our device.

Still no roms available?

Does this mean that if you just root the device that the data partition is encrypted and cant use it as if it was not rooted?

I was having the same problem, but i figured it out last night. Without OTG cable, Odin, SideSync, Realtek, or a PC. I'd been messing with it for 3 days, so Im not 100% sure of what everything said and i'm definitely not going to relock it to try an duplicate it, but if you've been all over youtube then you've seen methods that require a wifi connection, (I found it easiest to use my phone's wifi hotspot) you disconnect your hotspot or unplug your router immediately when it says checking for software update, which appears after clicking accept on the privacy policy. (Again it's easier to just turn off the hotspot than to unplug your router" When done correctly it souls say "couldn't sign in" and then the next screen will either ask you to set up time and date or it asks you to add a name to the tablet (can't remember which is first) then asks to set up a screen lock passcode or pattern (set up either one), after doing all this 100 times I noticed it asked me if i wanted to set up a IMAP/POP3 account to use within the Gmail app (which I'd been skipping) but for some reason it didn't give me this option every time. You have to be connected to the internet for the next part so if you haven't already go ahead and turn your hotspot back on or router and add any email address other than a Gmail (I used my yahoo account) then follow through with the setup into it takes you back to the very first screen you see when you turned on the tablet. Now just turn the tablet screen off and back on (just the screen, do not power down the tablet) put in your lockscreen password and now In the top right corner there should be a little yellow icon which lets you switch users (if you see this, you've got it beat) now create a new user signing into your Gmail and Samsung accounts (if you don't have one, create a new account) once you're done with that it will take you to the home screen, pull down the notification bar and go into settings (notice since you're on an added user you can't factory reset the device) find "Users", and then switch back to the owner profile, it then tells you that you still need to set up the tablet to continue. Once i clicked okay it now let me pull down the notification bar to access settings, but this time you're on the owners account so you can factory reset it, go to "Back up and Reset" and then go ahead and factory reset it again. If done correctly the FRP will no longer be on the tablet.

I rooted my T580 with this german howto:

Root is ok now! But unlocking the LockScreen needs 5-10 seconds now. Has this sth to do with Knox 0x1 ?

[Rom][ALL+CARRIERS_CRF1][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]

This is for All Carriers.
You Do Not Need To Be Rooted To Install This Rom
You Must Be On Stock CRF1 Oreo Firmware Before Starting
This Takes Some Patience To Install​
What Is Safestrap
Safestrap is a Bootstrap / Recovery for locked bootloader phones. Safestrap is now based on TWRP Recovery (a touch based recovery) and you can perform .zip installs, backups and restores here.

Just a heads up. There seems to be an issue/bug with the calls dialing out/receiving calls but no window/screen appearing saying that it dailed out or that you received a call (i can't even hang up since the screen isn't there). This happened to me on the google pixel version that you had so i'm attempting to see if it'll happen after just flashing the oreo hybrid on it's own.
Edit: Can confirm it is the google pixel version that is causing this issue. Not sure what's causing it but yeah.

Edit: Can confirm it is the google pixel version that is causing this issue. Not sure what's causing it but yeah.

Im pretty sure this is whats causing it here I will quote the directions for you
Google Pixel Style With Samsung Apps Replaced With Google Apps
Google_Style_With_Build_prop_Tweaks_V4.zip (Slightly Debloated)
Data Wipe is recommended to get full effect
If you flash one of the google mods make sure to set default dialer in settings/apps to google dialer
If Gboard dont show update the app in playstore or apk mirror then in playstore uninstall the update then it will work

Yeah that was definitely my bad. Originally thought it meant that if you flashed any mods on top of the google one to do that so I was a bit confused on the directions..plus running on 2hrs of sleep will do that to ya :silly: loving what you do though with the roms..makes me want to keep this around for a couple more months.

Thanks for your efforts and all!
Does anyone have an idea on when the actual will drop?

I just want to know what has happened to tmobile. They use to right on top off updates. Seems like all they care about us merging with Sprint so the public can get fleeced more by corporate America.

xposed doesnt work needs root

Root SM-M405F (Galaxy M40)

Read all the Instructions very carefully, as missing even a single steps cause bootloop.
1. Unlocking Bootloader
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Power off your device. Press Volume Up + Volume Down and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
Just when you think the bootloader is unlocked, surprise surprise, it is actually not! Samsung introduced VaultKeeper in the system, meaning the bootloader will reject any unofficial partitions before VaultKeeper explicitly allows it.
Go through the initial setup. Skip through all the steps since data will be wiped again later when we are installing Magisk. Connect the device to internet in the setup!
Enable developer options, and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
2. Before Installing Magisk
Installing Magisk WILL trip KNOX
Installing Magisk for the first time REQUIRES a full data wipe, backup before continue
You have to have your bootloader unlocked before following the instructions
After installing Magisk, you can directly upgrade Magisk within Magisk Manager without an issue.
3. Flashing Magisk:
Download the firmware for SM-M405F
Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
Install the latest Magisk Manager
In Magisk Manager: Install → Install → Select and Patch a File and select the AP tar file.
Magisk Manager will patch the whole firmware file and store the output to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar
Copy the tar file to your PC and boot your device to download mode.
Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN, together with the BL, CP and HOME_CSC files. Never flash only an AP file, as Odin can shrink your /data file-system if you do.
Important: Uncheck “Auto Reboot” in Options!
Magisk is now successfully flashed! But there are still several steps before you can properly use the device.
We now want to boot into the stock recovery to factory reset our device.
Full data wipe is mandatory! Do not skip this step.
Press Power + Volume Down to exit download mode. As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press Power + Volume Up to boot to recovery partition. Just as mentioned in the previous section, since we want to boot into stock recovery, continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
This time, we can finally boot to the system with Magisk. Select Reboot system now, and immediately press Power + Volume Up. After seeing the bootloader warning screen, release all buttons so it can boot to the system.
The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.
After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. The following steps will need internet connection.
You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, manually install the APK you downloaded and continue to the next step. The app would be a stub and it shall automatically upgrade to the full Magisk Manager when you open it.
Magisk Manager will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device.
Enjoy Root

Successfully rooted Galaxy M40
Thanks for the post. I have successfully rooted Galaxy M40 using magisk. Just one thing to add to the above post-- while copying patched ap from phone to pc use adb otherwise the flashing patched AP fails.

I did not use Adb, it went smoothly for me. :good:

Enable 3CA for Rooted M40
Galaxy M40 uses LTE 2CA but the chipset supports 3CA. Can we enable it for Rooted M40?

Be careful doing this, since the latest Samsung firmware update in August it doesn't work anymore. You can root at first, but then every time you reboot the phone unroots... If you persist and do it again Samsung lock the phone for "security reasons" and you can't even reach the bootloader or recovery screens using the up / down buttons... Meaning you can't go back to stock firmware without taking your phone back to the store or sending for service, but of course you now no longer have warranty.

This method will work for samsung a60 with his own firmware? Its the china better version of m40, i think i'll try this method

Rooted Successfully.
I had to flash twice since it did not boot into the stock recovery first time and messed with root I presume. second time it went perfectly and manually installed magisk manager. later magisk manager did some setups and rebooted my system.
Thanks Dev.
waiting for TWRP

The A60 and the M40 are identical, it's not the "china better version" lol, it's just 90 USD more expensive because Chinese people have more money. It's literally identical down to the microchips inside.

I think that I flashed on latest firmware AP_M405FDDU1ASF2_CL16060793_QB24248847_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_RKEY_OS9.tar
Android Pie
Magisk 19.3
Magisk Manager 7.3.2
everything works perfectly except that annoying message on the boot screen

Yeah that was the same issue I was having, I'm using the Indian version of the firmware so I wonder if it just affects Indian models.
I did a lot of research and there's actually not just 5 international models but 7, some with a /DS on the end which appear to use different firmwares, and I wonder if that is the cause of the issue.
Anyway I found a temporary fix. Reset everything back to stock firmware, do the rooting as the guide shows on page 1, then ALWAYS reboot using root, either by installing or upgrading a new Magisk module, or updating your AdAway blacklist, or by using ADB Shell #Su... For some reason when you reboot like this it doesn't unroot the phone and everything stays fine. Also make sure you never ever press the "Okay continue" button that appears when the phone first starts and tells you the bootloader is unlocked, just wait a while and allow it to continue automatically.

Thanks Theseusperse, I will follow that. and can u suggest me easy way to port twrp? I tried carlive image kitchen however when i flashed it not only reboots into stock rom but also shrinked my internal space to 16 GB. To Revert this effect I had to flash stock rom again using Odin ( only odin other tools failed) . Please let me know if there is any safe porting Recovery

There won't be any port of TWRP for a long time, Samsung has to release the source code for the phone first. Based on the Galaxy A series that was released in May this year, they just got their source code last week and the TWRP porting community literally kicked off in the past few days, so we'll probably have to wait some months. I'd estimate November sometime.
I'm excited for when it finally does happen though, I absolutely hate the stock Samsung software and want pure Google, even if it means a GSI rom.
Our phone is actually 100% identical to the Samsung Galaxy A60, so it's possible any TWRP ports made for that device would work, but so far the ones I've tried have all failed and resulted in the same effects you experienced.

To prevent loosing magisk root after reboot. NEVER REBOOT NORMALLY but Reboot it via Magisk or Fully Power Off then Turn Power On.

No, never ever do this, it will shrink your data partition and there's no way to ever fix it, even with a total system restore or using manufacturer tools.

Too late, I already did that and it shrieked my devices storage to 16Gb first time and 32 gb on second flash. But It got fixed with Odin repartition. Dont worry It is fixable

Stuck at the boot animation
After flashing the device is stuck at the oneplus bootanimation.What am i supposed to do now?
Update:
Thanks for the support ajith it works like a charm now

@4j17h
Its pleasant to see another Rom from your Garden. Would love to try this Rom but preferably I will wait for the bugs to be fixed.
In case, I installed... will come up with brief review.
Thanks a lot for your development work.

Hey OP,
Since you mentioned almost every issue is fixed in this room, is it good for daily driver and also does camera works perfectly?
I assume oxygen os features like fnatic mode won't work right?
And can I also unlock my bootloader if I'm on a19

yes that's how decryption works in device, when it asks for password enter your lockscreen password to enter into twrp. Then format data (not wipe) & reboo to recovery (which boots into system)

Ignore the error msg when you reboot the device. To boot into twrp you need to keep hold of volume up button while device is rebooting.

When tried to reboot, phone switched off and after that not turning on. I have tried to go to fastboot mode recovery mode but nothing happening even charging is also not showing

Yeah looks like device went to EDL mode, hold all the buttons for few seconds. Device gets to normal state again.

So I accidentally deleted the stock OnePlus Launcher and now my gestures aren't working for recent apps. Is there a way to fix it by installing the launcher's apk? If so, which version should I install?

After pressing reboot to recovery keep holding the power up button so it'll reboot to recovery and not the system.

Please provide always on display feature and there is no camera in ROM.
