Hello everyone
I just bought 2 xiaomi MI5 phones, one for me and one for my girl. Both are the 32GB versions with 3 gb ram, one gold one normal. I bought them from 2 different vendors in bucharest (because of the color, of course).
Now, the issue is this:
- gold phone has MIUI global 7.3.4.0.0 (MAACNDD) stable
- black phone has MIUI by xiaomi.eu version 7.8.11.0 (MAACNDB) stable
I lokked out this 2 versions and i found out that they are not official also they have some crazy **** apps like 9apps and mobomarket and a weird keyboard.
Now i tried to update the gold versions to the latest version and says no update available via the iupdate manager from settings. Same to the black one.
The gold one has an signal issue with Telekom Romania and the black one has a masive WLAN battery drain (43% ?!). I google the WLAN battery drain and found a related post from Redmi note 3 that said it's some kind of ROM issue that masks another app that is usign the phone like hell.
I applied for the unlock from Xioami, now my question is:
Should i wait for the unlock and add the latest stable official update or go to another rom (before i had note3 and S5 from samsung and rooted them both)?
If your advice is to go to another rom, do i need to wait for Xiaomi to unlock the devices or it s a go without it?
Look forward for some help, i really love this phone, is perfect for me and my needs.
Best regards

Hi,
First of all, I don't own mi5, but I had the same problem when I purchased my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon version)
It was loaded with unofficial MIUI ROM
(you can figure if it is unofficial or not by checking the version, OFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x and UNOFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x.x or so I was told)
So, my phone came with locked bootloader, the same as yours as I understand.
Problem with locked bootloader is I can't install ROMs or custom recoveries from fastboot.
Flashing OFFICIAL ROMs I downloaded from their official website using Updater App is a no no either, since I was on unofficial build (the updater app always return can't verify package error everytime I try to flash official ROM)
So the last resort seems to be applying to permission for unlocking bootloader ....
Until I found out that it is possible to flash OFFICIAL ROMS from fastboot without unlocking bootloader.
The trick is going to EDL (download) mode when you're in fastboot using ADB. After you're in EDL you can use mi flash tool to flash official flashboot ROMs.
You can search the forums for how to do that, and since I don't own mi5 I never tested it, but from what I understand the mi5 have EDL mode, just like Redmi Note 3 Pro, because it is Qualcomm thing.
I was able to get back to official ROM with this method much sooner before my permission was granted (took 8 days before I got approved).
And please remember above method only if you want to go back to official build, don't flash custom ROMS (idk if that's possible) at least until you got your bootloader unlocked, flash custom recovery (twrp) then from there you can install custom ROMs.
Hope this help
Cheers.

Glad you've gotten it sorted, should have MIUI 8 now too as that's available, great phones once you get the vendor crap from them, mine (Mi5 Pro White 128GB) was the same purchased from EGlobalCentral
Hello all.,,
I checked and read many thread slowly and steadily ,but couldn't find a good solution to root this phone 3T.
I just bought this Beautiful Device runing so smooth but with Hands tied too hard unable to run many apps and many ads and Bloatwares..
Thought to Root this device ,but all are mostly either Oxygen 3 or Marshmallow or 7.0. Version of ANdroid..and DW Error,is also a major concern to look out..
So Please help me to root this device running O2 4.1.1 (I literally dont want to change the stock,as of now) and Android 7.1.1 ,some simple steps...
Thanks and Regards
Awaiting for replies!!
I'm about to get this phone so I've been doing a lot of research myself. It looks like you can follow the steps in this thread and you can flash supersu through TWRP once you've unlocked the bootloader.
Unlock bootloader.
Flash TWRP.
Flash your preferred root zip in TWRP (SuperSU or Magisk are two good choices, I prefer Magisk).
That's about it...
i too tried the above method,,But I got struck with Logo of TWRP and got enabled only after 6 Hours.. But to my fate,,i'm still running on Stock recovery.. Not on TWRP !!
Use the latest official TWRP (currently 3.1.0-1). Works just fine.
i can relate to your question.
however, i discovered how to root the 3t and flash the usual zips files the finally the freedom rom, on my own.
it was a thrill.
i advise you to just take the blue pill.
I installed Blusparks Version of TWRP ,,but still no use,,SuperSU or Magisk both says My phone is not rooted!!!!
I want to live the Stock ROM and just to root the device,,But the steps are not futile for me!
What I would do if i was you.
Unlock bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash latest Magisk 13.2 zip
Hey,
Is this method still valid for rooting the 3T?
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...wrp-root-nandroid-efs-backup-and-more.475142/
Yes, that is still valid, more or less. Might be a more current version of blue_spark's TWRP (official TWRP is on 3.1.1.2) although the link only says 3.1.1-x, so I don't know what that means. But probably won't make a huge difference.
Can't see what version Magisk is linked (my office network is blocking the link). If you choose Magisk, flash latest version 13.3, especially if you want to hide root (from Snapchat, banking apps, etc.). Older versions of Magisk will fail to hide, due to recent changes Google made to SafetyNet.
And what if we want to flash this beta to a brand new device?
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_openbeta_12/
Should we first unlock the device, then install the TWRP recovery, then flash this beta rom and then root?
Hello dear community. Today, i just recieved my OP3T and I am super happy. Since I am a manian with new android versions + root + xposed, what i did is charge my new device and then start experimenting.
Firstly, i used this tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/toolkit-oneplus-3t-toolkit-unlock-t3507729) to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP.
Then I used some VPN to change my location to Canada, and get the Oreo OTA.
Oreo OTA replaced TWRP, so I did some research to find out if its safe to reinstall TWRP 3.1.1, but i stumbled uppon some contradicting opinions both for TWRP and for Root. In the guides I read, some users commented that it might be very dangerous to either reinstall TWRP and/or supersu, so since I am not a guru, and my technical knowledge is kinda limited, I thought I'd create this thread before doing something stupid.
So, is it safe to reinstall TWRP in the latest Oreo OTA? (ONEPLUS A3003_28_171116)? Which version of TWRP do you suggest?
Is it safe to use the latest supersu?
Also, should i do a factory reset after the update?
I know for sure that xposed is not available for Oreo, so I wont be asking anything for it here.
Thanks in advance!
For Oreo, the latest TWRP is not recommended. You need the bluspark TWRP for Oreo. Here is the link. https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
Careful, there are two Bluspark TWRP, one for nougat and one for Oreo. Also it is unified for both op3 and op3t
I do not know about SuperSU but the beta version of Magisk works on Oreo. The stable version does not work yet. Here is the link for beta https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
I am using the beta Magisk and BluSpark TWRP atm. It works fine. I did a clean flash using the full Oreo zip file (1.5gb). I think you can find this as a download on the XDA forum since OnePlus has not put it online yet. DO NOT CLEAN FLASH THE PARITAL OTA.
I'm looking for a new smartphone, and I'd like to get the P Smart 2019 model, because it seems well suited for my needs.
However, I haven't been able to find clear indication that it is rootable (yet). The instructions I find seem for the older (2018) model, or seem to be fake/incomplete.
One site states that huawei is no longer allowing the bootloader to be unlocked: https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-p-smart-2019-launches-uk/
So - is there anything I can follow about a possible root for P Smart 2019, or should I look for a different phone?
You can use DC-Unlocker to unlock the bootloader, but i don't know if the device is supported yet by the software.
I think it can't be rooted yet because we don't have any custom recovery for it

Thanks.... I'll wait for a month or two to see if a recovery comes along.
Would you say the P Smart 2019 will be a popular phone (e.g. that can get enough community behind so that it will be well supported in terms of root/customizations), or are there better fish in the pond?

I would say we need to wait a bit as the phone still is at the beggining of the road
If DC-Unlocked provides a unlock method, we might have devs for the device...
you can root any phone with an unlocked bootloader... you patch the boot. img with magisk manager apk and flash it back using fastboot
your problem is that yes, dc-unlocker provides bootloader unlock codes for 4€..
HOWEVEr... you are SOL cos the huawei 2019 most likely will launch with a security patch that will stop dc-unlocker...
for the p smart 2018 you can downgrade to the first version of stock rom and then unlock but i think 2019 has launched with too high a security patch..
this dude who already ordered it should contact dc and see or post here the date of his security patch out of the box
lastly DO NOT Update.. just in case you can unlock anyway..
dont buy Huawei.. they are anti dev mod and root so don't support them
get a xiaomi.. same quality and price but more dev friendly
Thank you for your suggestion. I'll have a look at a different vendor as well.
Bluetooth still crappy on this one
Huawei P Smart 2019 root manual at techdroidtips
Not sure to what extent xdadevelopers permits external links, but google allows a quick find of instructions for rooting the 2019 at techdroidtips dot com. It looks very serious and reliable. What do you guys think about?
I would go for the first "manual" method, however the easy "automatic" option with KingRoot sounds convincing, too. Any recommendations or comments are welcome!
Sorry, that site doesn't seem reliable and the pages seem autogenerated:
Before rooting, do install TWRP Recovery on Huawei P Smart (2019) (IMP STEP TWRP File May Or May Not Be available as per the development) Though methods are mentioned below that require no Recovery.

I can't find any TWRP recovery for this model, so I assume none exists yet.

jajaja ...are you joking ...kingroot ......kingroot is outdated and also adware / bloatware ....
you have been explained ...only root to road through unlocking your bootloader ....the question is whether the your security patch is outdated enough to allow you to use dc-unlocker to use their method to readback your code from your device for you
if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash custom roms without root using fastboot and treble system images ( NO ROOT NEEDED) & If yourealky wanted root you could patch your boot.img with magisk and flash that back with fastboot
IN BOTH CASES NO TWRP EVEN NEEDED .....:silly:
In the meantime a have to admit, that you're right and the mentioned source may represent an useful general overview of available approaches, but is not at all device specific (and indeed automatic generated with replacing phone devices as tokens).
So, sorry for the terrible research so far. Hopefully the following summary is better:
1) Because Huawei stopped their Unlocking Support in Mid of 2018, we need alternative ways to do so. One of them could be DC-unlocker, however it doesn't seem to be supported yet (at least not listed as '(2019)'). So other services as for example mentioned at huaweiadvices dot com could be a solution, although they cost 35$ or more. I'm wondering how those companies (like FunkyHuawei or MinistryOfSolutions) do access/receive the Unlock code?
2) Because there aren't (somehow based on issue 1) compatible ROMs for Huawei-P-Smart-2019, yet, or at least no well known/tested ones, an experienced user like me should wait till there is an announced model supported release. A very interesting source seems to be OpenKirin. So waiting for a release for the Kirin 710 (which is not yet listed) could be promising. Btw, what ways do you know for finding fitting ROMs?
Do those two conditions seem proper to you?
Device specific custom roms seems to be the thing of the past . The future is project treble ....so for all intents and purposes there are many custom roms that could installed on your device ...read how treble works and perhaps you will understand....kirin 710 is irrelevant ...in treble you are flashing a system.img which is generic ( any treble device ) because the "drivers" for yourhardware is not in the system img ...
Magisk is the main and perhaps only cross platform root method ...once again ...your device is irrelevant ...
Your only mission here is to unlock your bootloader so you can flash .img files that are not approved by Huawei ...
So your only time spent that will be worth anything will be obtaining a bootloader unlock code
However Whichway because without it you will go pretty much nowhere ...with it ...you don't even need a twrp nor do you need a custom specifically announced as being for P smart 2019
Huawei is like Apple ..of Android ....without any jailbreak community and at a lower price / quality point
Since taking the step not to support bootloader unlocking ...they are worthless as a phone to a person who wants root and good custom roms ..
just because dc says unsupported doesn't mean it won't work ...i told you to contact by email your security patch level to enquire if it might work ...so until youhave done that this whole chat is worthless ...
if your security patch is quite recent you are SOL
you should off-load it on an old guy who doesn't know what root is and get another phone .
Hi KevMetal, thanks for your effort to clarify and increasing my understanding. Didn't want you to have yourself repeated...sry
Anyway, I tried to follow your advice and have sent now the following device information to [email protected]:
◦ Model: POT-LX1
◦ Build-Number: 9.0.1.129(C432E8R1P12)
◦ EMUI-Version: 9.0.1
◦ Android Security Patch: 1st Nov' 2018
Don't know if this is enough. However couldn't find a number for the Security Patch or anything beyond that release date.
Will share the information here, If I get an answer...

The info is fine, it does according to release date ...i can almost guarantee that it's too recent .....but rather wait for confirmation ....if you are really lucky some really clever Dev or devs or unlock team looking for money will find another exploit to readback the bootloader code but as for now you are SOL ...but unless you see info floating in XDA or 4pda and it's vouched for by experienced members it's probably a scam to get cash or just adware or bloatware ... after android nougat there are / were very few legit root exploits and when legit they get patched in a security update after release locking down newer models ...cheaper or midrange devices just don't get enough attention from the right people ......not to mention that the OSgets locked down tighter and finding exploits is a time consuming past time ...:good:..sorry bro
tools like software based root exploit tools released to public depends on finding weaknesses in the security of the OS whereas bootloader unlock lets you flash images that includes root or boot images patched previously so its very different
Any news? I boutht the 2019 version and joping there will be some root method soon and perhaps some rom.
Any good dark material emui 9 theme in the meantime?
Is there any way I can enalrge icons in the status bar, they are so tiny no matter what font settings are applied?
Huawei P Smart 2019 root/magisk — missing Bootloader unlocking!
Well, unfortunately there is only little hope. I got answers from [email protected] that there is no support so far, however they „[…] hope so it will become supported in future, but there are no news or information available about it yet.“
I won't wait for it and switched to another phone...

Hi, I've been rooting other older phones before, i will read more about treble gsi, thank you, but i can promise you it is real, i've been tracking for unlock codes for my phone for two months and just yesterday they managed to generate the unlock code for me. I have no intention to lie, here are the screenshots i've been able to gather just now.
imgur.com/a/YuoGGvC
If i flash it to recovery_ramdisk and then quickly disconnect usb and hold vol up it will bootloop once (and never i get magisk installed) i have tried to install twrp for kirin 710 from honor device, but screen is not working can't touch anything then. I have downloaded latest full firmware 9.0.1.152(C432E8R1P12) and trie to patch RECOVERY_RAMDISK.IMG multiple times using magiskmanager with different versions of magisk 18v 19v with options enabled/disabled
Hello guys.
I would like to know which twrp you are using on the bike g5s plus. I did not find an official version and wanted a reliable file.
sorry for my simple questions, but I was just accustomed to samsung and bought a g5s plus to run tests with the motorola. I'm learning slowly.
my other question is this:
I usually only use the twrp shell terminal.
I downloaded a version here on unofficial xda 3.3 and the command I usually use (twrp wipe system) is not working in this version.
Do you know the reason?
I want the twrp to install roms, and I'm already in the pixel experience.
A hug to everyone...
Use Batik recovery, it is based on TWRP latest version and has extra functionalities !
Easily found on Sourceforge. Search for Batik Recovery Sanders and you're good to go.
Hope it helps.
