K20 Pro 11.0.3.0 Global, whiche TWRP and Magisk use ?

Hi everyone, sorry for my bad english.
I have a Redmi K20 Pro (chinese phone from Rakuten sent to France) with 11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM) with an UNLOCKED Bootloader.
I would like to install TWRP (for root) and magisk (to hide root).
When I've bought the phone, i had a 9t Pro Rom installed. I've tried to install TWRP and magisk and I soft bricked it...
So... I've reflash an old Global K20 Pro ROM (not 9T Pro) and update it via OTA.
Now I'm in 11.0.3.0 Global with the good phone name (K20 pro).
I would like to know wich version of TWRP and Magisk I must flash.
Maybe one from this thread?

Yep the latest unofficial in your link should work on all regardless. If I'm not mistaken you're on the global indian version for K20 pro?

Hum... I don't know... How can I see that ?
"if it's the first time you flash the TWRP or you are getting problems of TWRP lost or device doesn't boot after flashed magisk or something else you need to flash a modified vbmeta:
Modified VBMETA"
Must I flash VBMETA ?

You shouldn't normally need to flash vbmeta, if you are going to install Magisk. You should be OK, if you boot immediately to TWRP after flashing, then flash Magisk.
Also look at Orange Fox recovery, if you are sticking with MIUI. It has extra features specific to MIUI, such as OTA survival and in-built debloat tools, amongst other things.
If you don't need the extra features, then stick with the mauronofrio's TWRP.
For Magisk, just go with the latest official build.

I tried to flash Twrp many times but every attempt failed... Orange Fox is no problem, but I like Twrp more. The phone isn't booting up after flashing Twrp... Has anybody a solution for this problem?

Ok I will try Orange Fox. But could I install Magisk to hide root with Orange Fox ? Moreover, must I boot to Android before flashing Magisk or must I flash it immediatly after the Orange Fox install ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : all tutos I've found tells that I must install TWRP before Orange Fox... But I can't install TWRP without soft brick...

wait wait wait....
Umm, if you haven't gotten a fix yet.
You're saying you got k20p china model (RCN) with global rom (RGL rom) and it is using Indian Vendor (RIN vendor).............. dude.... why.
Anyways, can I just suggest you move to EU ROM latest stable. Its a lot less hassle, seriously.
I mean AOSP is great too. but if you want miui, EU just skips all the problems.
Also, to fix your problem.
Find out what phone you have first, then get the latest updated vendor for it.
Use mauronifroi's TWRP img file and flash it via cmd on your PC. then use orangefox.
Just flash the latest stable magisk zip file 20.3
My Guide should fix everything you have. you mix and matched 3 things lel, no wonder something is soft-bricking. Use my guide, or text me on telegram

How can I know exactly the phone model I have ? I'v bought it on Rakuten as a 9T Pro and I've received a K20 Pro (chinese or indian, I don't really know)
Then, how can I know exactly the rom I have. It's just written "11.0.3.0 Global Rom (QFKINXM)" on my phone.
I seem to have an Indian phone with an indian rom but I'm not ure. All works perfectly and in french but I don't pass the Safety check from Google.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT : the phone I've bought. https://fr.shopping.rakuten.com/offer/buy/3967800781/xiaomi-redmi-k20-pro-128-go-ram-6-go-double-sim-rouge.html
But i've received a K20 Pro. After the brick I've installed an old official Global Rom from the Xiaomi website and update it via OTA.
(again sorry for my very bad english)

download cpu-z app on play store, and check if somewhere there is ,,raphael'' or ,,raphaelin'' so we can be sure

Thanks. CPU-Z says me "raphaelin"... So... Indian phone with an Indian Rom I suppose.
I'm affraid to flash TWRP. I'm tired to reinstall all my phone, apps, settings, data, game saves...etc

You speak English well.
Right, so on my guide link.. scroll down to the 3rd comment, and you'll find a guide that says HOW TO KNOW WHAT DEVICE I HAVE. and check the box.
I'm just assuming whoever sold it did not change the boxes as well.
anyways, on the back of the phone, if it says REDMI it's either an Indian k20p or a Chinese k20p. If it has MI written on it. Your phone is Mi 9tp.
download the DRM info app from the play store. If your widevine is L1, you have the Indian variant confirmed.
If your widevine is L3, you have the china variant probably (or the Indian variant and screwed with the widevine, and you may get it back depending on what the manufactures did. Iff it shows L3, it's a decent chance its the china version)
another sure-fire way is checking if NFC works. The Indian variant does not have NFC hardware chip at all., whereas the china version does.
for now, move to EU, and we can slowly work on which exactly if you are hell-bent on know what you got.
The CPU-Z will show raphael/raphaelin based on your vendor. I have raphaelin, but I am using EU rom, which uses modified china vendor, so my CPU-Z app shows raphael and not raphaelin
btw, if you are so self-conscious about your English, download the chrome extension called grammarly., and Enable it. That'll help your English dramatically by underlining your grammatical mistakes. I use it all the time, and for making sure my posts are grammatically sound.
I'm on telegram as sandeeep, you can text me there if you want to.

Thanks everyone.
I have a chinese version (winedev L3 and NFC and K20 written in the back), good for me and Netflix ! And everyone works perfecly on my phone.
So... I will try to backup as many things as possible and retry to flash TWRP. If it's failed I will flash an EU Rom et retry the TWRP flash.
Sandeeep Kiran, I will telegram you if I have problems. Thanks a lot guy !

Hopefully this is the last time to back up and restore the phone.
Go here and get the latest EU fastboot ROM
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/
It's labelled Global EEA - currently version 11.0.3
Install it with this guide
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
If you see a blank page on a mobile phone, change the browser to desktop mode to view it.
IMPORTANT
In the guide at step 4, after unzipping the ROM delete the file clean_all_lock.bat - This will stop you accidentally bricking the phone.
In step 5 make sure you change the option at the bottom to clean all, before hitting the flash button (see the photo in the guide)
You need to boot into MIUI once before flashing anything else.
After initial set-up of MIUI, boot into fastboot and flash the latest TWRP from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...icial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568
Currently 3.3.1-32 is the latest.
After flashing TWRP, while you are still in fastboot mode, type
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now as soon as you hit enter, pick up the phone and press and hold the volume up button. Keeping holding volume up until the phone boots into TWRP.
Download the latest Magisk from here
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
(It's a good idea to also download the uninstaller file too, just in case you need it)
With the phone now in TWRP and connected to the PC, copy the Magisk installer to the phone, then flash it with TWRP.
You should now have the latest EU ROM with TWRP and Magisk successfully installed, so reboot to MIUI and check Magisk is working.
Then reboot to recovery and check TWRP is working.
I apologies for my bad French. :laugh:

Question Official MUII 12.5 Global. Any link and tutorial to flash CN versions?

Hi! I buyed a CN version of Mi 11. Is there any link with the official Global rom for Mi 11 that was rleased today ? Any tutorial?
Thanks!

As far as I know, the Mi 11 Global version won't be available before February 25th (at least here in Europe), so I doubt the global ROM is available yet. Most people recommend the xiaomi.eu ROM over the global ROM because it has some extra features and so on.
I recommend you use Xiaomi.eu's ROM, there's a thread explaining how to do it here. Also, don't forget to unlock your bootloader - you need to wait 7 days before it can be unlocked, so if you start the process today, you'll be able to flash custom ROMs in a week.

https://c.mi.com/thread-3581378-1-0.html

Thanks guys!

Installation ok for me. Like u i was on xiaomi.eu lastest. there is a smalll error : This error is caused because the tool verifies if the device’s bootloader has been locked or not. Since you used the ‘clean all’ or ‘save user data’ option, the bootloader is not locked and the error is shown. This is a problem with the tool itself and is nothing to be worried about since the verification takes place after the flash is fully complete.

You don't mind if I abuse you since you the first known to successfully flash the global rom?
Therefore, my bunch of questions are:
1. Did you use the fastboot version of rom (unzipped tgz)?
2. You did dirty flash form eu rom or did you clear data before flash?
3. You don't have any modem issue, all mobile bands and both wifi (2.4 and 5)?
4. Like first impression: do you still experience massive battery consumption?
5. What are major differences between eu and global?
6. Is the rom smooth and responsive or you experience any malfunctions so far?
7. Google Pay works? If you don't use it, could you be so kind and install safety net tester and report the results?
8. Could you still use phone calls recorder?
Thank you for your patient and contribution.

Yes of course
1. fastboot version
2.Form xiaomi.eu rebooting in faastboot mod and flashing fastboot version with mi flash with clean all option.
3. No mobile or wifi issues
4. all gms are installed ( google phone dialer and sms )
Sorry bro fresh installation i cant say more im at work
i dont use google pay and safety net failed
Rom is smooth but orange bloatware are downloaded

I don't want to install the xiaomi.eu because of the OTA updates and more. I want to flash the official global version of miui.

For this official global rom I still need to unlock the bootloader or can I flash over the chinese version? Sorry for the nob question. I'm new to Xiaomi phones.

Just as a warning - if you decide to flash the official ROM, DO NOT RE-LOCK YOUR BOOT LOADER.

hello I have my mi 11 on the global rom for 1 week
I flashed my phone with the fastboot rom (adb) and everything went well (if the phone restarts in fastboot mode, force the boot in recovery mode and does a data factory reset whip)
google pay works fine for me
my phone works without problem (no slowdown, no problem with the wifi connection on the phone, all Google services work perfectly)
after the rest has already been said

Development [PORT] BETA MIUI A12

Good afternoon
The XD team (Xyen and Dargonswim) has managed to port the Chinese betas with Android 12 for anyone who wants to test it.
You only need to have the bootloader open.
Installation (FASTBOOT):
- Enter fastboot mode (vol - and power).
- Connect the phone to the pc (have the USB debugging enabled).
- The first time it is recommended to do a clean install. Enter cmd and choose windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.ba t option. (Use the corresponding file for other platforms).
- Then you only need to use the update file.
- Wait 10 minutes for the process to finish. Do not disconnect the mobile at any time.
xdroms
Download xdroms for free. None
sourceforge.net
Note: Language English/Chinese
Disclaimer:
XD Team is not responsible for bricks or any other problems. Before flashing! Keep in mind you have chosen to make these modifications and that it is your sole responsibility.

Great news. Simple and safe method and the original Chinese beta ROM without modifications under Android 12. Congratulations and good work.

I re-flashed the global A11 ROM for the sake of updates.
I can assume that if I flash this one, I won't get any updates. Is that accurate?

expected that actual TWRP is not working correct with A12. But you can install the the magisk.app and patch the boot.img file (extract it from payload with payload-dumper on PC). Once you have patched the file copy it back to the PC and put the mobille into fastboot. Then with command "fastboot boot patched_boot_image.img" you will start with Magisk for your session. If you want to have root permanent after phone is up go directly to the Magisk app and install it "again" directly.

you need to install this new twrp , with that its possible to force flash payload rom.

and with TOOL ALL IN ONE you can even flash with that buggy twrp opened

Hello everyone, today I present my new creation: we are talking about a tool that allows you to do many things , from the bootloader to flash the factory image , comfortably. Now you're probably asking: but there are already other tools available...

Honestly I'll skip this. Global ROM on A11 is almost flawless. I'll wait for official rollout

Question is root working on MIUI 13?

I am on the china model M2102K1C with the global rom installed. I rooted using the following method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...irmware-download-needed.4301241/post-85282829 which meant not overwriting the recovery and only booting thru the twrp file in my adb folder. This made it possible to get OTAs.
I just got the update available for download message and before I install it I would like to be sure I can re root using the same method and that the twrp version still works on miui 13.
the reason i want to check first is that i remember using other phones that sometimes a major update had necessitated an update for twrp to work with it.

you can root on miui 13 by patching the boot.img , like on all android 12 releases. Due to non working twrp on a12.
So if you want a working TWRP you cant update.. After update to miui 13 it will be a12.

thanks I have rooted several other phones on A12. I might wait until I research a bit more on this one as its my first Xiaomi phone. I was hoping the TWRP made for android 11 would still work on A12. ...or if i can hold off wait until there is a twrp for this phone compatible with A12.

idk, i know there are working a12 twrp for mi 10 and 10 pro, but i dont know when and if it will come for 11 ultra. and when it will come... there are no twrp files for yet... if it is only for root, just use pathed boot.img.... its really easy

thanks I know I am going to end up trying it. with the other phones I was more familiar with fixing a soft brick, so that's why I am nervous about it. I already started the upgrade haha.

its nearly impossible to brick this device( i am told, lol)
You can allways reflash using miflash to stock, just be aware off untick lock

uggh looks like I am going to need to learn how to use miflash. im not sure what i did. I didnt flash anything but rebooted to system from fastboot, and now the screen is blank. My laptop recognizes enough to beep when i plug and unplug the usb cord, but adb does not see it.

For some reason it is losing sanity when you have an open BL and twrp etc installed and trying to update to miui13. Just make sure you have a backup.

I have never used MiFlash before. I believe my computer does see the phone. I was on miui_STARGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAMIXM_eecc15ab63_12.0. I am not finding a global fastboot rom for A12 (only the full rom).
The previous versions 12.58 does have a fastboot rom available. Using other phones it was not always possible to downgrade. Would it be possible to flash 12.5.8 on this, or will I need to flash the china version of A12 that has a fastboot rom available?

you can root on miui 13 by patching the boot.img , like on all android 12 releases. Due to non working twrp on a12.
So if you want a working TWRP you cant update.. After update to miui 13 it will be a12.
use this link for info: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/howto-magisk-install-without-twrp.64511/#post-643958

Problem is you can use watever boot img or the one from the specific fastboot rom? because I updated to global 13.0.2 and there is no fastboot version available yet and so no boot img

There is, take a look at the "beta" thread, it has all you need for A13 rooting

thanks, but can you be a bit more specific, ive been rooting my every android but this is my first Xioami ever so i am new to this.... which beta thread - a beta firmware - higher version which i download and extract to get the boot.img?
thanks

Yes. Whatever version you have installed, you can find a suitable root image from the link:
xdroms
Download xdroms for free. None
sourceforge.net
Then, it's a matter of typing fastboot flash boot rooted_boot.img and fastboot boot rooted_boot.img (with rooted_boot being whatever image you're running).
I'm currently running the latest Global Stable version, so the root I flashed was [ROOT]miui_STARIDGlobal_V13.0.2.0.SKAIDXM_8e7ececfcf_12.0_by_XD

Which one is best for the latest Global stable 13.0.2.0? It also says [Root], what does it mean? It is already rooted? As far as I know with the fastboot method you need to patch the boot.img via magisk first and than flash it via adb

It's a pre-patched boot.img file

So we just need to flash it, but which one of the two?

thanks I have rooted several other phones on A12. I might wait until I research a bit more on this one as its my first Xiaomi phone. I was hoping the TWRP made for android 11 would still work on A12. ...or if i can hold off wait until there is a twrp for this phone compatible with A12.

Which ROM ???

I have a Redmi Note 9 running MIUI 12.5 .4 Global on Android 11.
Some time back Miui removed call recording facilities, which was annoying, but for some time now an update (not sure which one) has caused intermittent problems with the proximity sensor, which is even more annoying.
It has been suggested that I re-flash the ROM, but if I am going to do that I wonder if anyone can tell me which ROM I could use as an alternative that will have the MI Phone app in it so I can use call recording again.
Anyone??

What is the code name of your phone and what rom currently(full name).
Example:Lime/Gauguin/Joyeuse/merlin etc..
V12.5.3.0.RJOMIXM

In About Phone it simply says Redmi Note 9, but I think it is Merlin.
V12.5.4(RJOMIXM)

So initially you had the Miui dialer and after an update the google dialer?
You can flash an older stock rom or Indonesian stock rom**(**any, all have the call recorder).
For that you must unlock the bootloader https://en.miui.com/unlock/index.html
then use this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

I had a Redmi 9A before, and it had the MIUI dialer which was swapped to the Google one on an update. I broke the phone so bought the Redmi Note 9 which already had the Google Dialer, so I used Magisk to install the 'Call Recorder' but an update to the ROM broke that.

reuse magisk or see my post above without root.

Thanks.

Sorry to come back again - but I wonder if you could clarify for me -
There are two types of ROM available for download:
Fastboot - which does not interfere with programs and data
Recovery - which has various versions, one which preserve data and programs through to one which wipes everything. (https://c.mi.com/thread-2002748-1-0.html)
I am not sure which of these, if any, would be best suited to a phone where the new ROM is a different regional ROM already installed.
Can you advise?

I have not flashed any yet.
I have the Global ROM installed at present.
Using the 'Recovery' method seems the simplest - flashing from the SD card - but I don't know if this method will work and flash an Indonesian or Indian ROM over a 'Global' one.
Or is the only way to change to a different regional ROM to use the flash tool and the file 'flash_all_except_storage.bat ' to wipe everything and start again installing programs etc.

Only indonesian rom have call recorder.
Use miflash use flash_all.bat,and your phone will be reset (better to start again)Fastboot rom.
Do a backup with Micloud and/or Miphone assistant.

Thanks again.
