tool use: AsusUnlock_1.0.0.7_210127_fulldpi.apk not obiwan version
got it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ader-and-rooting-rog-phone-3-by-asus.4534435/
somehow this is accidental i really didnt expect it will unlock my rog3 because its in lastest a12 and none of obiwan unlock tool works as ive tried from latest version of apk and some other. then i try an app from above link and didn't expect anythng, but it really did unlock my phone. now i wnt to root it but w/out twrp installed because im not sure if i should have have same firmware on both side before i can flash the twrp or whatsoever. now my question is, can i root my phone using just one slot like im gonna patch the bootimg with magisk of dump bootimg frm slot_b and flash it with fastboot. or should i patch both bootimg and flash in their proper slot? or is it safe to flash patch boot via fastboot?
lastly what bugs does you guys encounter after rooting... hahaha. hope you guys can help. thanks you so much

k20 pro premium system has been destroyed

i had to flash global rom again because it wasnt booting after root. today i received ota update and now it displays the message the system has been destroyed.
bootloader is locked after flash. my computer still recognizes my phone and i can unlock after 83 hours.
my question is is it possible to flash rom after unlocking bootloader or not? or do i need to i need to follow another method?
i managed to fix my phone using the mi unlock tool and unlocking the bootloader.
one problem that im having is installing magisk. i managed to install twrp but everytime i try to install magisk 2.0.1 i get bootlooped to twrp. i cant boot to android. any help?
Either u can clean install whole system or use magisk manager for recovery to delete all the modules u had(I haven't tried tho ) or clean flash boot.img from latest fastboot rom.

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
Redmi 9c not rooting via magsik patched boot img
Same issue
same here ,
my xiaomi 9c BL are unlock with xiaomi unlock tools
after i patch my boot.img with magisk the patchboot.img become smaller like 10kb only
after i fastboot and flash it bootloop every time
im sure my patchboot.img have some problem
but no idea how to fix it
is there anyone get this kind of problem , and how you fix it
please share your Thought thank you
powershell wont run the .\fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img command. it gets stuck in waiting for devices even when the device is plugged and already on fastboot mode. any ideas how to fix this?

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

Yes. I patched my boot.img with magisk, then flashed it using "fastboot flash boot_ab magisk_patched(boot.img file name).omg"
Caveat: I bricked my device like many others after unlocking the bootloader and flashing xiaomi.eu ROM. I had to have a authorized EDL account holder flash a factory ROM (in my case I had a China variant flashed with the Global ROM), after which I flashed xiaomi.eu latest stable ROM and then rooted it.
does google pay still work after root?

Seems it was an issue with setting the active slot in the installation script. Solution is described here and since then it looks as if no more bricks occur

I flashed it separately on the second attempt for 12.5.3. The first time I tried flashing the patched boot.img I was greeted with an error.
Hi! I have the latest xiaomi eu weekly installed (21.6.23) as well as unofficial twrp.
I would like to root the phone with magisk, but I don't understand a few things.
Magisk manager require patching the boot.img file from the zip firmware.
I can not just simply install magisk zip file in twrp to root mi11 ultra?
If not, I understand that I have to patch the boot.img- but do I have to do it every time I want to install update of the latest xiaomi.eu firmware?
The second question is about data.
Am I loosing the data by rooting the device by this method?
EDIT:
Ok, I managed. So those are the steps that I did:
I unpacked the boot.img from the xiaomi.eu firmware in my phone. Then I patched the file, and copy this file to the adb installation folder of my pc.
Later it's easy- usb debugging needs to be active in developer options, then connect your phone by the cable to your pc, accept usb debugging in your phone, start CMD in the adb folder in your pc and write the command:
fastboot flash boot_ab nameofthefilewhatmagiskgenerated.img
then
fastboot reboot
And done, root works. Data are untouched.
I did it easier, boot into twrp and flash magisk.zip done
Also I'm on official EEA firmware, with original stock recovery, so doesn't matter what rom you use. On xiaomi EU you don't even need adb because you already have twrp injected
Is there anything to worry about when you update the phone while having root access?
Is the following order right?
1) update Rom over twrp and delete dalvik&cache
2)flash magisk.zip again
3)boot into system
Right ?
I have the latest EU Rom 12.5.7...
Just take this bat with decrypted Star twrp 3.5.1
unzip and klick Install-Star.bat
fastboot boot star.img are the commands in there

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.

Thank you very much, sir !
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
TWRP from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586336381
Also tried this method again (this was my first method and it worked like a charm till this 12.5.20.0... )

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)
I can't seem to find a more recent global version (updater within settings tells me there's no more up to date version).
Do someone have an idea, please ? :/
What i'm doing :
1. put device on fastboot mode
2. launch xiaomitool and flash 12.5.7.0 global rom
3. reboot into fastboot
4. launch xiaomi unlock and unlock device
5. boot TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img in cmd (command returned all ok)
6. into "soft" TWRP, One Key Inject TWRP
7. into "hard" TWRP > install and give it the .zip rom file
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.

Thanks for that ! ^^
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 Downgrading from stock A12 to Xiaomi EU A11

I'm planning to go from stock 13.0.2 A12 to Xiaomi EU 13.0.10 A11. Based on what I read, this is what I have to do:
- Unlock bootloader (which will factory reset the phone).
- Start fastboot mode.
- Connect to PC.
- Download the ROM (Recovery for RN11, since it's downgrade I'll have to factory reset but it'll already be done during bootloader unlock)
- Run first_time_installation.bat (or something like that).
Are these steps correct? This will be the first time I flash a ROM and I really don't want to mess it up. Thanks in advance!
The first step is correct, you must unlock the booloader. However, you can't install Xiaomi.eu ROM on fastboot mode, that's only for stock ROMs. If you try to do that using a custom ROM, it could brick your phone. For Xiaomi.eu (or any other custom ROM) you need to install first a custom recovery like TWRP: first downlaod the custom recovery file, then copy it into the storage and then install it. You can do the last 2 things with CMD commands . Then copy the custom ROM file like any other file into the phone's storage, restart the phone on recovery mode and install the ROM from the TWRP interface. I did it like a month ago, I don't remember all the details though. Just look for a tutorial, it's not that hard.
Good luck.

Haha thanks for your reply! This came a bit late, it has been exactly a month since I flashed but I hope this could help someone else. Spes/spesn is listed as recovery on the list but the Android 11 versions only come in Fastboot. When I unlocked bootloader, I had already prepared Pixel Experience and Xiaomi.eu ROM. PE's recovery gave me bootloop so I used the next thing available and flashed Xiaomi.eu .bat file.
I was a bit worried when it was stuck on the same screen for 15 minutes but then it loaded with no problem. Not really sure if I did the right thing or I was just lucky
