[ALTERNATIVE] Root Mi A1 with TWRP Without disabling Ota

As you may imagine this simple guide will show you how to root your device with magisk from twrp recovery.
I know, there is already a guide by jashancheema that shows how to root this device, however it's difficult to update the system once you are rooted. In my opinion the way i'm about to show you is faster and easier.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for ANY damage done to your phone, act at your own risk.
That's how you can root your phone with magisk and recovery without disabling ota.

Install magisk manager and copy the magisk flashable zip somewhere in your device or sd.

All works!!! :good::good::good::good::good:

WORK
I tried, it works. thank you!

funziona da dio! fantastico! bella guida

Great work!

i already flash twrp on my device, so i cannot install update OTA until i go back to unroot?

@H.A.L. 9000, I'm sorry for my ignorance but I wonder whether the bootloader unlock passage (that'd reset everything) is inescapable after installing an OTA update

Can I install ota with the unlocked bootloader?

Thanks for this I was always confused on how to update the phone after magisk.
Edit: you think it's possible to use a custom kernel with magisk and still maintain ota?

Thank you, the rooting part worked flawlessly. :good: Now waiting for the next OTA to see if that will work well too.

1. USB debugging doesn't have to be allowed?
2. Updating Android can be done with PC only?

I did exactly the same (as nicely outlined in MP) for the last few updates, and can confirm it's working perfectly. I was using this as the 'normal' way failed due to unknown reasons.
This approach does not required a patched boot-image available, so imho it's more robust and reliable than the 'normal' method.

Can't I just install syst update through twrp?

Rooting Mi A1 using this method worked. But the guide needs updating:
1.You must enable usb debugging
2.You must install magisk manager after unlocking bootloader. Installing it before is useless because unlocking bootloader will wipe all data.

Well, that happened to me.. Total WIPE... So, i decide to stop. But this night i'll try again, after a full backup. For me this is important because i need to use Android Auto, with aamirror.

I do regular backups so it was ok with me. It also should be in the guide as a first step: backup your phone. It seems like the guide is not for beginners... After rooting, you can face two problems:
1. From time to time, Magisk crashes. Just open it again.
2. There will be a camera lag. Installing a Magisk module should solve it(I haven't tried it yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqcQKqhL3ok

there is some indication that 'fastboot boot twrp.img' wipes all the data!
Not sure when it started and if there is a way to avoid it - any idea?

How to install TWRP after Magisk?

How to install TWRP after Magisk?
I have a OnePlus 6 running Oxygen OS 9.0 and I managed to install Magisk by obtaining the stock boot image and using the magisk manager app to patch it to include magisk, then I flashed the patched boot.img using fastboot and ADB.
The reason I did it this way is that every time I tried to boot with twrp.img in order to flash twrp.zip, I would run into a screen saying Qualcomm CrashDump Mode and TWRP wouldn't boot.
Now I want to install TWRP and I was wondering if there is any way of doing it by using Magisk, so I wouldn't have to boot twrp.img.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem here. Already tried to boot every version of TWRP without success.

If you have magisk manager with working root.... Then YES you can.... Just download Official TWRP app from GPlay... Open it give root permissions and follow the onscreen instructions.... Thats it...and yes use the zip not the img file

But there's no button to flash, I open the app, select flash recovery, select device, but theres no button to flash it.
See screenshot

do you have fastboot and adb installed on your computer? I assume so as you have oem unlocked to flash magisk, correct?
Copy the TWRP file that ends with .img to your desktop
if so, open a command prompt (windows key +R and type cmd press enter)
type "cd desktop" without quotes and press enter
type fastboot boot "twrp.img" (whatever the file name actually is)
Congrats, you are now in TWRP. But wait, there's more! if you reboot to system or other wise leave TWRP at this point you will revert back to stock. to flash recovery onto your device permanently, install the TWRP.ZIP (The ZIP is IMPORTANT) as it changes the boot on the OP6 to have the TWRP image (oh, by the way, there is no recovery partition on OP6 like previous devices [Thanks A/B partition!])
Now you can reboot to your hearts content. remember if you update OOS, you will lose the custom recovery, so flash the TWRP.zip after every update!

Yes I have fastboot and ADB on my computer (Linux btw), and as I mentioned it the first post, I already tried that, except that instead of booting into TWRP after "fastboot boot twrp.img" I got to a screen saying Qualcomm CrashDump mode (see attached image (the image might not be exactly the same as mine, I found that on the internet because I don't have my computer to reproduce it now)).

super odd. maybe your boot image is corrupt? still doesn't explain why fastboot boot isn't working though... Try bluSpark's TWRP image. it's a solid build and I am not having issues with it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/kernel-t3800965/page17
or you can also try swapping to the other partition by typing 'fastboot --set-active=_a' (or fastboot --set-active=_b) and booting to that recovery.
if that doesn't work for ya, try and restore stock via fastboot is my only suggestion:

I wonder if this problem has been solved? After having Root without TWRP since last year, I decided to flash TWRP now because I miss having a Nandroid backup. But just like op, right after I type in "fastboot boot TWRP.img", I end up with that Qualcomm crash dump error, resulting in a fastboot boot loop every time I restart the phone. My only recourse is to use the MSM flash tool that reflashes everything and returns the phone into factory stock. In the process wiping out all my data. I don't think there's anything corrupted
EDIT: the problem wasn't the procedure; it was the damned bootable TWRP .img files. I downloaded different TWRP.img versions, and they all failed to flash into temporary TWRP, except for this one that I found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CJoBQ5ZuAExv27XLWwLMFYfHoLEu5YFJ You can use this bootable .img to flash any TWRP version compatible with your device

Does it work for Android 10?

5. Patched magisk boot.img flashing (method II)
Tools and Information we need
USB Driver
Minimal ADB Fastboot
TWRP 3.2.3-x Unofficial with working DECRYPTION 12/10/2018
Magisk Manager App
How to Unlock Bootloader
Back up Files (Internal Storage)
1. Go to Settings > About phone
2. Find the MIUI Version and press 6-8 times
3. Go to Additional Settings > Developers Options
4. Press and check USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking

- if not, then apply and wait.
*Install Xiaomi USB Drivers from link above or by Mi Unlock app settings option.*
In MI Unlock app:
1. Shut down your phone manually, and hold Volume down key and Power button to enter Fastboot mode.
2. Connect your phone to PC using USB cable and click "Unlock".
***Mi account should verified.
Booting into TWRP, getting ADB SuperUser access, pulling stock boot.img
1. Open Minimal ADB Fastboot terminal AS ADMINISTRATOR!
2. Shut down your phone
NOW FOCUS
3. Connect your phone to your PC and hold Power and Volume Down buttons until Fastboot screen will be visible.
4. Follow the steps:
Put that command in your Minimal ADB Fastboot terminal:
Code:
fastboot devices
Your phone should be visible.
example: ,,7e00a8e3 fastboot"
Code:
fastboot boot <path to your TWRP .img recovery file>
Your phone should be booted into TWRP recovery.
If ask's for password: CLICK CANCEL
If ask's for keeping /system read only: swipe (allow modifications)
UPDATE:
NOW YOU CAN JUST FLASH MAGISK.ZIP AND REBOOT
There was no TWRP with working decryption before.
Method II:
Code:
adb devices
Your phone should be visible.
example: ,,7e00a8e3 recovery"
Code:
adb shell
Here we go! We got access to Super User shell via ADB ^^
and now the magic:
- In TWRP recovery, go to Advanced > File Manager
- Go to "/dev/block/platform/" folder (go into ,,soc" folder, if you have one there)
- Here you will see some files and folders, we need to open folders and search for the folder called "by-name" inside one of them. || For me it was /dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc and ,,by-name" inside of it.
- At the end, we need name of the folder contains ,,by-name" inside for this string: /dev/block/platform/soc/FOLDER NAME/by-name
- Now go to your ADB Shell terminal and put that command:
soc = you should have this folder too, if not; ignore (please confirm that in comments)
FOLDER NAME = your folder with ,,by-name" inside
Code:
ls -al /dev/block/platform/[COLOR="DarkOrange"][B]soc[/B][/COLOR]/[COLOR="Red"][B]FOLDER NAME[/B][/COLOR]/by-name
Now you should see partitions of your phone.
You need to find your boot partition, for me it was:
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Feb 15 1970 [B][COLOR="Red"]boot[/COLOR][/B] -> [B][COLOR="Red"]/dev/block/sde45[/COLOR][/B]
--
Pulling our stock boot.img!
Go to your ADB Shell terminal and put that commands:
Replace sde45 with your partition from step above*
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/[B][COLOR="Red"]sde45[/COLOR][/B] of=/sdcard/boot.img
Code:
exit
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img
Our stock boot.img should be downloaded into our Minimal ADB Fastboot directory!
Code:
adb reboot
Stock boot.img patching and flashing (For Method II only)
1. Save your stock boot.img into phone's internal storage/sdcard
2. Download latest Magisk Manager from MAGISK GITHUB REPO
3. Install Magisk Manager on your phone.
4. Open Magisk Manager, check Keep Force Encryption
5. Click Install > Install > Boot Image Patching > Select your stock boot.img and patch it.
6. Save your patched boot.img to your computer
7. Shut down your phone
8. Open Minimal ADB Fastboot terminal on your PC
9. Connect your phone to your PC and hold Power and Volume Down buttons until Fastboot screen will be visible.
4. Follow the steps:
Enter commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
Your phone should be visible.
example: ,,7e00a8e3 fastboot"
Code:
fastboot flash boot <path to your patched_boot.img>
Code:
fastboot reboot
5. Open Magisk Manager, your phone should be rooted.
6. Download Root Checker from Play Store and check if your device is rooted.
FOR OTA UPDATES:
- Uninstall magisk with Magisk Manager App (Restore Image option)
- Apply OTA update
then:
Method I:
- Boot into twrp (version with working decryption)
- Flash Magisk ZIP again
Method II:

Stock Mi Recovery 3.0 for Pocophone F1: GOOGLE DRIVE

Before flashing OTA update, you need to uninstall magisk and install it again after update.

Thanks for a great tutorial, this is what I needed, just a few queries.
1. After ota will I retain root or again the whole process will have to be repeated.
2. In this process if I start with an unlocked bootloader with 8.10.9 beta rom any chance or need to wipe data or internal storage.
3. What if after flashing twrp, I just flash magisk and reboot without flashing force encryption disabler, stock recovery will automatically overwrite twrp, will I lose any data or root.

1. For now you need to uninstall magisk root before any OTA update, and install it again after it. I don't figured it out yet, how to update OTA and keep magisk.
2. Mi Unlock App will tell you if your internal storage needs to be wiped or not after connecting your phone in fastboot mode.
For me there was a red text that my internal storage will be wiped, for you it will be propably similar.
3. In this tutorial you are not flashing TWRP, you are just booting your phone into TWRP without flashing it to get acess to Super User via ADB and to pull stock boot.img to patch it later with magisk.
Target of this tutorial is to keep stock recovery, so it wont be overwrited because you will be already using it. It shouldn't affect magisk root, but
it would be an good idea to check ,,Keep Force Encryption" in Magisk Manager app before patching boot.img if you are not going to flash Disable Force Encryption zip etc.

hey dudes, can someone please upload the stock recovery for me?
everytime the phone wants to install an ota it just boots into twrp and i have to manually reboot it from there.
so if i just flash the stock poco recovery the phone would updtate the ota normally and root still would be there?

Before flashing OTA update, you need to uninstall magisk and install it after update.

Before OTA update, uninstall magisk via Magisk Manager App, then after update install it again using my guide, otherwise you will get bootloop.
I don't figured it out yet, how to keep magisk live when updating.

So after uninstalling magisk and applying OTA, we need to do whole process again? pull out boot - patch it and flash it?
at this point it makes more trouble than just installing twrp.

For now there is twrp with decryption working so you can flash magisk ZIP, with booted twrp (not flashed).
I used the same boot I had before OTA and there was no problems too.

You extracted the boot image, patched it using magisk, and flashed it using fastboot.
Instead, can't we just install Magisk.zip using twrp? This way it saves us from running all those commands.
For OTA, we can uninstall magisk and flash original stock recovery, then apply ota, then flash twrp and magisk.zip.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks

I know what I have done.
But if the same patched boot.img is not working after uninstalling and OTA update, you can skip other steps and just boot into twrp [version with working decryption] (everything is in my post) and flash ZIP. ZIP does the same thing, it patches boot.img so it's just faster for now. When I was doing this tutorial, there was no twrp with working decryption for poco...
You can try to flash same patched boot.img you had before OTA. Last time it worked for me.
You don't need to flash twrp too...
Just uninstall magisk
Do OTA update
BOOT into twrp (version with working decryption)
Flash magisk.zip
reboot

I flash the decryption TWRP and install magisk but the phone bootloops back to recovery no matter what I try. I have to uninstall magisk using the official installer, only then the phone lets me boot into system but obviously I lose root. Any guesses what I should do to get root with formatting storage ?

Is it equal, on wich (original) ROM/Software-Verisom i´am for unlocking, flashing twrp and rooting ?
Or is it the best, to NOT update the original Rom OTA and after that unlocking, flashing twrp and rooting ?

thanks and good to see, that the mi note 10 lite has it own section now. hope there will come a lot of custom things.

Does Gpay work with bootloader unlocked and xiaomi.eu rom?

is the widevine L1 working?
is the hdr working

For installing updates, do we need to follow the dirty flash process via TWRP? I tried via the updater but the process simply restarts mobile and nothing happens.

New version of Xiaomi.eu ROM is out.
Question is how to updtae without losing data?

What's the problem? The test TWRP from mauronofrio can't decrypt data? Sry for the questions, I have not tested it yet

Yes, cant decrypt -> probably can't update.
Even if you do use OTG to read the .zip...
Will it overwrite to encrypted partitions? Won't that break the system?
Or
Will it boot fine - but will the updated ROM be able to read the probably still encrypted user data?

I have a Redmi note 8 with xiaomi.eu but I think I can help you. In order to update you flash the new zip. It just overwrites the system partition not the data. And you are still able to decrypt them. There is no problem I tried it. You will have to reflash magisk although.But in case anything goes wrong just format data and you will be fine.

There`s a new twrp that decrypts everything so no more problem anyway

is this twrp fully working? or does it have the same problems as mauronofrio's Twrp 3.3.1.0?

Super weird... it didnt work for me... flashing was successful
but it keeps rebooting to fastboot mode.
While doing format data, i did receive an error message "unable to find /metadata" is that normal?
EDIT: So what happen is, I did all over again with slightly different steps
1) i reflashed official firmware to revive my phone
2) Once I'm able to boot on official ROM, I flash TWRP
3) Format Data + restart TWRP
4) Copied ROM and flash Xiaomi EU rom
5) Restart to system immediately after flashing ROM. Managed to boot Xiaomi EU rom.
6) Reboot to recovery and flash magisk
7) Restart to system, set up, and done.

I think he did it with the miflash tool. I had to do it so because I stucked in Fastboot mode.

I also had a problem with metadata. I have recovery aleks.msk, can enter fastboot but nothing else. Miflash does not work, uploading the firmware via recovery does not get up.

In fastboot mode copy latest xiaomi.eu zip (not the fastboot, the regular one)to the phone and flash it in twrp - reboot to system

Can anyone please post a link to Xiomi EU ROM. Can't find it. Thanks

Can I reroot again without losing data?

Hey guys,
in the past I've been made a root to my phone, and I set it to unroot but did not relock the bootloader.
So - my bootloader is still unlocked.
There is any way that I can return to root device without losing data(without wiping?)?

Unlocking the bootloader is what usually causes a reset of your phone. If you have OEM Unlock still enabled, you should be able to just boot a Recovery (Nebrassy TWRP for OP7P) and install Magisk from there.
Download the latest Magisk apk from the github and rename it from .apk to .zip
Copy the .zip to internal storage
Reboot your phone to bootloader:
Power off
Hold Volume up+down and power button
Connect phone to PC
In bootloader mode and use following command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
"twrp.img" should be the name of the recovery you downloaded.
In TWRP:
Select Install
Flash Magisk zip
If you want to install the TWRP:
go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
Reboot
You should now have Magisk root installed.

Now, which magisk modules are recommended?

Not many these days. Swift module for theming, viper4android, busybox, soundpacks maybe and systemless hosts for adblocking.
