I searched but could not locate for Android 13
It was available only for Android 11.
Also TWRP installing method not available for A13

The process for unlocking the bootloader and rooting are exactly the same. TWRP can be used to install Magisk even on Android 13.
Or you can follow the official Magisk instructions:

Did anyone root K3 note Marshmallow?

So I tried the latest SuperSu and also the beta version of Supersu but boot loop both the time. Did anyone root it? Or any idea or any other tool through which it can be done? I used the standard rooting method. Didn't work. I'm using Indian version k50a40_S324_160328_ROW current build.
Also, there's k3 note manager tool but it has negative reviews for rooting Marshmallow. Though will try it.

How can I root a Xperia SP device that has Android 7.1.2

Some time ago a friend helped me upgrade my Sony Xperia SP from android 4.2 to 7.1.2. I have searched a lot of guides and I haven't found anything that can help me root. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I think it can be done with Magisk framework, Magisk APP and SuperSU. Mind the version! I think v12 of Magisk is the latest one working but I'm not sure.

let us have more details about your device.
1. What OS/custom ROM are you using? Is it LineageOS?
How to check? Go to Settings>About Phone> and check if it is LineageOS with version.
If it is indeed a Lineage OS, you can download the root add-on here.
Reboot your device to recovery, then flash the zip file.
You can search on how to flash zip files in recovery.
2. If it is not a LineageOS. you can check for the OS' name and search the topic here at XDA (because at about 90% probability that the OS came from here).

1. We want to make sure that we are on the same page. So First you may want to install this TWRP from this page. Instructions are on the post.
2. After a successful installation. We may want to upgrade our OS to the latest version. Just pick the latest from this link. Don't worry if it is all nightly. I assure you that they are as good as daily drivers. You can dirty flash it over you current installed OS (no need to wipe. just install the zip file through the recovery at (1).
3. Head over to this one to download the add on su. Pick the one named. addonsu-14.1-arm-signed.zip and flash this also through recovery.
Note: If you don't know what you are doing. You can always read it first before trying. Or ask your friend again to instruct you the basics of flashing custom mod / zip files to your phone.
Also if you don't want to update your OS (which you can but I suggest you update it for other small reasons. i.e. fix and updates). you can just download the addon su. reboot to recovery. flash it and you're done.
If you find this step by step a little bit difficult to understand, you can always read the post I linked above or the replies from other person. or just get help from those who did the job done.
Alright, I managed to do it. Thanks a lot!

Questions regarding xiaoumi.eu ROM

I made the update from stable global to beta global last week, because I needed to unlock bootloader. Now my plan was to wait for the first stable release of Lineage, but I didn't know about Xiaoumi.eu rom and that headphone volume was so bad on this stock (beta) rom...
Now my questions are:
Which partitions have to be wiped before flashing the ".eu" rom?
(Already googled this one on my own, see "EDIT")Are the weekly versions like Beta versions? If yes then would this one be the latest stable rom:
xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX2_V8.5.15.0.NDDCNED_v8-7.1.zip
Other than that there shouldn't be any other Things to worry about, right?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: So I googled a bit about the meaning of weekly and I guess it will work well enough for me, downloading this one right now:
xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX2_7.10.12_v9-7.1.zip
I couldn't find much about my other questions though..
EDIT 2: I just went the "factory reset" way and wiped data, cache and dalvik and it worked.
No further questions from me.

I finally managed to flash xposed-v88.2-sdk25-arm64-test4.zip from the official MIUI 9 Github thread.
I'm on latest weekly MIUI 9 xiaomi.eu rom (7.10.19), which is Android 7.1 with Magisk 14.0. Flashed via iscle's TWRP.
Download for test4 (Android 7.1), Android 7.0 would be this one
Got the downloadlink from here: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=946636&highlight=xposed
I suggest you to read the description in the MI Forum thread. I haven't tested any modules yet, I only know that the framework is active for me and that it disabled SafetyNet.

Thanks man, sadly I the phone still won't boot after installing this updated Xposed version. Here are the steps I did:
Install newest Xiaomi ROM (7.10.19)
Flash TWRP
Install Magisk 14 zip via TWRP
Boot up again to check if Magisk was installed (it was)
Flash V88.2_Sdk25_Arm64 Xposed zip
-> Phone doesn't boot
Did I do a dumb mistake here or sth?

Nope, that's more or less how I did it. But before I flashed this version of Xposed I installed the Xposed Installer. Maybe that's necessary, but I think not.
Can you try out flashing the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip? I did it for something else earlier and also after every attempt of flashing Xposed.
If I understand it right some Xiaomi phones bootloop after you write to /system, then you have to flash that file to fix it. Xposed writes to /system, so that could be a solution.
Before you flash that research it a little bit more, because I don't know much about this topic and don't want to give you false advice.
EDIT:Did you flash the xposed version from my downloadlink? It is different from the regular 88.2 SDK25, it's a testversion made by the xposed creator specifically for MIUI 9 devices.

Upgrade from Oxygen OS5.0.8 (Android Version 8.0.0) to the latest Android 9.0.3

Hello, I used to modify my android a lot, but it's been a while now. So before I soft brick my device, I'd like to get some advice.
My OT3T used to have a custom TWRP, and rooted with Magisk. Today, I found out, that for some reason, it has rollbacked back to default recovery and the root no longer works. My bootloader is still unlocked though.
So questions. Which version of TWRP would be the best for the new 9.0.3? Can I flash the latest TWRP version straight away or I have to install an older version and then update it?
Which version of Magisk? I guess the latest will do.
Then if the TWRP is installed properly, I guess, I can just follow the guideline from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...l-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119/page135

Just flash the latest version of TWRP (3.3.1-0) and the latest stable version of Magisk (19.3). Then follow the instructions.
Make sure you backup your user data (/sdcard) to your PC before updating OOS.

Help with rooting K20 Pro (India) on MIUI 11.0.1.0

Hi, I need some advice on how to root my phone with the configuration as given in the title. There are a lot of guides here, but none of them have starting point at Android 10. At the moment I'm not looking into installing any custom rom, just want to root, install some Magisk modules, GCam etc. If there are no differences in the process for Android 9 and 10, then you can just point me an existing guide, and I'll follow the steps there.
For starters could someone advice on whether to use TWRP or OrangeFox? Which one is better if I want to receive and install OTA updates from Xiaomi without any additional steps? (By additional steps, I mean I want to apply OTA updates like normal when I receive them; additional steps during the root process to set it up that way is perfectly fine)

Use Magisk 20.1 stable which supports android Q. some magisk module can also cause bootloop.
