How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 with ClockWorkMod Recovery
(updated 25 May 2011)
Prerequisites
HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL or HSPL4 (Better use HSPL3. HSPL4 still has issues or errors on some devices, so use it at your own risk).
Radio that support 576 RAM (ex. radio ROM 2.15)
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader
ClockworkMod Recovery
It's advisable to copy the NAND Android ROM zip file to the root of your SD card, before start, because some people face problems to do this after doing the first steps of the process. If you don't do it then you can do it later using a card reader or doing this:
In MAGLDR choose option: #4 USB Mass Stg
or
In CWM choose option: mounts and storage option
Make sure that you have all the prerequisites installed.
STEPS:
A1: Install HSPL3
or
A2: Install HSPL4 (HSPL4 still has issues or errors on some devices, so use it at your own risk).
B: Install radio ROM 2.15
C: Install MAGLDR on HTC HD2
D: Install ClockworkMod Recovery (2 methods, choose the one you like)

B: Install Custom Radio ROM
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
In order to flash custom radio ROM, you need to have HSPL3 installed on your HTC HD2. By the way, I used Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 on my guide. You can use it or any other HTC HD2 Radio ROM version.
HTC HD2 has 576 MB physical RAM but was reduced by software to 512 MB only. And custom Windows Mobile ROM + radio 2.07 or above can unlock it to be 576 MB again. Certain custom Windows Mobile ROM need higher radio version than your phone. And NAND Android requires it too. So you need to install custom radio ROM (if you don’t have the correct radio version).
Step by Step Guide
1. Power off your phone.
2. Press volume down button (don’t let go) and power on your phone.
3. It will load into bootloader.
4. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
5. Take off the battery.
6. Power on your phone.
7. I have R 2.06.51.07 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
8. Connect USB cable from PC to phone after Windows Mobile loaded.
9. Select ‘ActiveSync’ and click ‘Done’.
10. Open Radio Leo 2.15.50.14.rar with 7-Zip.
11. Copy CustomRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh to desktop.
12. Execute CustomRUU.
13. Click ‘Yes’ if User Access Control prompt up.
14. Follow onscreen instructions to install.
15. Bootloader will be loaded with USB status during starting of installation. (~10 minutes)
16. Phone will be rebooted after installation finished.
17. You should have R 2.15.50.14 at bottom of the screen with green HTC Logo.
18. Disconnect USB cable from phone.
19. That’s all.
C: Install MAGLDR
In order to install NAND Android on HTC HD2, you must install DFT MAGLDR Bootloader first. And the good news ~ both LEO512 and LEO1024 are supported. This means US T-Mobile HD2, Europe, Asia and the rest of the world’s HTC HD2 are supported.
Note – by installing MAGLDR, you cannot boot into Windows Mobile anymore. So everything on your phone is gone…
Prerequisites

Just below are the files where you can download directly, exept for the radio, that you can get it here: Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
(If you are going for the 2nd method of ClockWorkMode, then depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should download the partition size based on the following:
150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI
[*]250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
[*]400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND)
Well played sir and thanks for putting in the time to write this guide. Perhaps a passing mod would care to sticky this, either here or in a HD2 forum?
BTW, have an E-cookie for what is probably the best 1st post i've ever seen here
Totally agree. Even though I personally don't need this guide, I've still thanked you because I appreciate the time and effort you've put in, and that's just a brilliant 1st post!
Welcome to xda mate
+1 ....awesome Ist post, very useful for many.
Great guide!
Dear friend Gn,
thank you for your guide it is very detailed and precise but despite that fact
my ignorance(or stupidity) did't let me make the work. My mem is still 448mb, i thought after making the first two steps i'll had 576 of mem but it didn't work. At the first place i had 1.44 rom then i have change it in 1.66 with radio 2.15 but all that after installing Hspl.oops!!.
So now i have no idea how to proceed and put the android nand on. Can you help me please?
Thank you in advance
I think by memory he meant ROM not RAM
Since the first guide was useful to some people, I'm posting another one: How to Install NAND Android on HTC HD2 without ClockWorkMod Recovery. The first three steps are the same. All this stuff is not mine. I've just gathered other peoples postings. So all thanks shloud go to them. I'm just a bug.

install fresh Android ROM over dual boot hd2
I've set up dual boot to android and WP7 on my HTC HD2. I now wish to go back to only ANdroid on my phone. What are the steps for that. As my SD Card is partitioned will the new android rom be installed on just the NAND portion?
I need to know to what type of filesystem should I format my SD card so that i can install a fresh ROM.DO i need to go back to stock WM6.5 to install this.
Hi aditya_r12
Here's my newbie answer.
I think you can forget the sd card temporarily (remove it if you want),
flash a windows sytem (or just leave the existing win7) and then follow one of the above methods (the easier is the non clockwork mod), and you will be back to a nand android-only phone. After you can mount back your card with one or two partitions, or you can reparticion it or whatever.
I hope an experienced member, will also answer to you, since I'm an absolute ignorant newbie, which was lucky enough to manage to flash a perfeclty functioning android hd2, from scratch (thanks to the instructions of these nice people in this forum).
Good luck
Ho. Thanks for the reply. I finally got to installing nand android using clockwork mod. I used tadk29 to clear everything. Now I'd really like to know how to increase my internal storage
Its only some 250 MB right now. Is it possible to make it think that the storage extends to the SD card

Thank You~
I really need this faq but I thought there were newer versions of CWM that did not requier the "move to SD" files? Am I just totlly lost or is the faq older than those files?
Thank you for this guide. It will be very helpful for people like me (who don't read much unless encounter an issue) if download links will be available here also. So, it'll be a one stop shop guide..
I'm about to input the download links and the links for some video guides, as soon as I have the permission from the forum op.
Flashing a new nand android rom over a previous one
FLASHING A NEW NAND ANDROID ROM OVER A PREVIOUS ONE
(without clockwork mod)
Once you have flashed Magldr to your device you do not have to go through the whole process again if you want to flash a new NAND Android Rom:
1. Turn your phone off
2. Restart your phone by holding down the 'Power' button and keep holding it down until the Magldr Menu appears
3. Press the 'Volume Down' button to goto Option 4: USB Flasher and press the 'Call' button (far left of the 5 hardware buttons at the bottom)
4. Browse to the folder you extracted your NAND Android Rom files to on your pc, right click on Run DAF.exe (or install.exe if Daf.exe isnt listed) and select Run as Administrator (if using Windows Vista or Windows 7)
5. Read ALL the text and then select 'Next'
6. Read the information and select 'Next'
7. The installer will now detect USB and then flash your Android Rom to NAND
8. When flashing is complete your phone will Reboot and proceed to boot Android from NAND
That's all
Good Luck
Im a Evo user and trying to install Android on a buddys HD2. I am stuck at the pink stick together screen after step B completed and is trrying to redoot.. I dont think it wants to boot. Any ideas?
Apparently there are quite a few other benefits of installing CWM such as installing mods to your ROM. Unfortunately, I chose to install my present (and very stable) ROM without using CWM. Is there anyway to install CWM without losing my existing ROM?

HOPING IT MIGHT HELP....!!!!!
IF IT DOES DUN FORGET TO THANK....
Here is an article which will be discussing all about the rooting the device, getting streak mod recovery menu, flashing customised ROMs and lastly How to get wicked customised BOOTANIMATION uploaded on the customised ROMs.
BUT BEFORE I PROCEED ANY FURTHUR I MIGHT WARN YOU THAT ALL THE STUFF MENTIONED BELOW WORKED FOR ME AND HENCE FORTH IM PASTING IT BUT WHEN UR FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BE SPECIFIIC TO THE POINT AND FOLLOW IT AND YOU AR DOING IT ON YOUR OWN RISK I AM NO ONE TO BE BLAMED IF YOU MESS IT UP.IF STILL YOU WANNA BLAME ME SURE YOUR ARE WELCOME.
Now this article will be one stop for everything when the word customisation comes to your mind
and its the result out of my research on all the informations provided on the inetrnet not only on the XDA DEVELOPERS but else whr too. Without wasting much time lest proceed.
1. ROOTING YOUR DELL STREAK :
Downloading the file : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Video For Reference : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hifk15SbHVQ
ROOTING THE DEVICE WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY
About :
The GingerBreak APK is a wrapper around the newly released GingerBreak exploit (credits to The Android Exploid Crew), which is meant to attain root access on GingerBread. This specific exploit*may*work on various Froyo and Honeycomb versions as well.
What the APK and exploit do is as follows:
- The APK puts the right files in the right place to run the exploit
- The APK runs the exploit
- The exploit attempts to attain root access
- If it succeeds, the exploit remounts /system as read-write and runs the installer script
- The installer script attempts to install the su binary and superuser APK, and reboots
Some important things to know:
- You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
- You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted - if it doesn't work, try formatting the SD card in your computer, or switching it with a different (or old, etc) SD card
- The APK must be installed to device, NOT SD card
- The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device. In rare occasions, even if the device does not reboot, you may still have root. So check that out after you manually pull battery after 15 minutes or so of being stuck.
- Always reboot between root attempts!
- While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device. For temproot purposes, use the raw binary exploit (linked below), not this APK.
- The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
Installation :
- Make sure USB debugging is enabled
- Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it
- Open the APK, press the root button
- Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe)
- Make sure the Superuser app is install and working
- Optional: Install BusyBox from Market (I personally prefer the stericsson installer)
- Optional: Uninstall GingerBreak, you don't need it on your phone anymore
WARNING: Apparently on some devices the root exploit causes the SD card (internal or external) to be formatted. Also, if it gets stuck but you do see the card mounting/unmounting, try formatting your SD card yourself and try again (or use a different SD card) - often this works*.
However there are many other applications to root the phone but the gingerstreak was the one worked for me and i used .you can check on net and will get other applications too eg: SUPERONECLICK,etc.
2. Getting the streakMOD Recovery menu :
DOWNLOAD FILE : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Note : in the streamMod recovery menu to navigate up and down use the volume rocker keys and to select use the camera button.
HOW TO INSTALL THE RECOVERY :
Step 1: Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Step 2: Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Step 3: Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while the device is rebooting.
Step 4: Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
Step 5: At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu
Now all the newbie will be having only one question in mind what does the term FLASH here refers to...i was also struck by the same...Honestly, it took me one week to crack that term.
Here s the answer :
FLASHING is nuffin but running a handfull of commands which i will be providing you you can just copy and paste it but the way you write and run those commands it the real deal.
Link for streakmod revovery resource:
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Steps OF Flashing (FOR WINDOWS USERS) :
CONSIDERING YOU HAVE ALREADY ROOTED YOUR DEVICE
STEPS TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY :
LINK : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S23rGZVOKrE&feature=context-chv
THE ABOVE LINK IS JUST TO ASSIST YOU HOW TO BOOT INTO FASTBOOT MODE HOWEVER IT SHOWS THE WAY OF FLASHING THE STREAKMOD RECOVERY WHICH DIDNT WORK FOR ME.
Step 1: MAKE SURE THE USB DEBUGGIN IS ENABLED.
Step 2: TURN OFF THE DEVICE REMOVE THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND REPLACE IT.
STEP 3: PRESS THE CAMERA AND THE POWER BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AND KEEP IT PRESSED UNTIL A WHITE SCREEN WILL APPEAR.
STEP 4: IT WILL BE SHOWING “WAIT FOR SD DETECT” THEN AFTER THE MENU COMES UP ON THE SCREEN WAIT FOR LIKE 15 SECONDS APPROX
STEP 5: CONNECT YOUR DEVICE(DELL STREAK) TO THE PC AND THEN PRESS FASTBOOT OPTION ON TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN.
STEP 6: THEN WAIT FOR LIKE ANOTHER 15 SECONDS AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED BY ME OR IN THE VIDEO LINK I HAVE POSTED ABOVE...ITS COMPLETELY YOUR CALL.
NOTE : clockworkMOD WORKS ON ANOTHER ANDROID DEVICES BUT streakMOD Revovery works on DELL STREAK
Step 1: You need fastboot/ADB tools http://mirror2.streakdroid.com/manii/Tools/Fastboot+ADB.zip
Step 2: Unzip to a folder; say C:\Fastboot+ADB
Step 3: StreakMod recovery: Download the file recovery-v0.3.2.8-beta.zip (3.57 MB) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326. Unzip and copy ‘recovery.img’ *to fastboot tools directory*(i.e. C:\Fastboot+ADB\Win32\recovery.img)
Step 4: Now Open the command prompt and by using the 'ls' command and 'cd' command navigate to the folder and your command prompt line show b exactly like C:\Fastboot+ADB\Win32\>
Step 5: Now copy and paste the command fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img, and you will find the mobile screen changes and desplayes something with an exclamation mark at the end....it means the Recovery image that needed to be flashed is done.
Step 6: Now all you need is to enter the next command in the command prompt on your computer screen fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
while the device reboots itself hold the VOLUME UP AND VOLUME DOWN or simple the VOLUME ROCKER keys.

Hi there,
as I never owned any Windows-based PC but only Macs and nevertheless use Samsung phones and tablets I searched for a possibity to flash my N5100, which is not supported by the Cyanogenmod-installer. After a lot of looking around, I here compile the way it worked for me.
As always: I take no responsibility at all - be sure you know what you do or don't do it. Your device can be bricked, although the risk is small if you follow the instructions step by step.
Credits and thanks to Chainfire for his wonderful work and to Bill Anderson, whos guide helped me a lot and is the base for the heimdall-part of the guide.
If the nerds here complain about this guide being too simple, I don't mind - folks like me need it that way...
1. Download and install Heimdall
2. Download and install an app to unarchive tar.md5-files (p.e. The Unarchiver) – Mac OS won't do that on its own.
3. Create a folder for the process, p.e. /Autoroot, wherever you'll find it when you need it.
4. Download the CF-Auto-Root for the device (here) and save it into this folder
5. Extract the CF-Autor-Root-mxxxx-yyyy.tar.md5 – file – you'll get 2 files: cache.img and recovery.img
6. Start Heimdall, klick the Utilities-tab
7. Shut down your Samsung device.
8. Start it in „download-mode“: press the VolumeDown + Home + Power keys. You'll get a warning and press VolumeUp to proceed.
9. Connect the device to your Mac via USB.
10. In Heimdall, press the Detect button. The display should show „Device detected“.
11. Click on the Utility-tab and then the Save as button of the Download PIT section - browse to the folder created in step 3 and enter a file name such as Samsungxxxx.pit. Save.
12. Once you got the PIT file, you can click the „Flash“ tab.
13. Use the Browse button to select the PIT file downloaded in Step 11.
14. Click the Add button to add a partition.
15. From the Partition Name menu, select Recovery.
16. In the File box, browse to the recovery.img file that you retrieved in step 5.
17. Repeat steps 14 through 16 for the Cache partition.
18. Click each partition in the Partitions box to verify that it is associated with the correct file.
19. Check the No Reboot option, as you do not want Heimdall to automatically reboot the device – if the process fails with checked No Reboot-option, try it again with No Reboot unchecked, for me, it worked this way and I proceeded with step 23.
20. Click the Start button, and watch the Status text area where the progress of the flashing can be seen until the "Flash completed successfully!" message.
21. Hold down the Power button and unplug the USB cable. Keep holding down the Power button, and press the VolumeUp button until the Samsung device boots into Recovery mode.
22. Your Samsung device should automatically reboot after CF-Auto-Root installs.
23. You should by now have a superuser-access. Verify this with any terminal emulator app by entering su command and granting SuperSU root privileges to the emulator app You use.
24. Install Mobile Odin onto your device.
25. After starting the app, grant superuser-access.
26. Download the recovery you like, p.e.PhilZ Touch Recovery (for your device) and copy it onto the SD-card of your device, p.e. using android filetransfer.
27. Download the custom-ROM you like, p.e. cyanogenmod (for your device) and copy it onto the SD-card of your device, p.e. using android filetransfer.
28. In Mobile Odin click on Recovery → Internal SD-card and choose the recovery you just copied onto it.
29. Restart the device into the recovery mode, holding Home + VolumeUp + Power
30. Choose Install from zip and choose the custom-ROM you just copied onto the SD-card
31. Done!
Hope these lines could be helpful for Mac-users...
Best regards,
Rabendoktor
Initial instructions can be found here. but i will detail them out further.
Disclamer: these files are meant specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Discover(SCH-R740C). Use on any other device will result in an instant brick of device. Use these files at your peril, you assume any responsibility for loss or damage that may result from use of these files or procedures.
You have been warned.
now to the goodies.....

4. Files from this location. click here
HOW TO UPDATE DEVICE FROM 4.0.4 TO 4.1.2
easiest method is to use simple upgrade tool from here or here under downloads then software.
the simple upgrade tool will update the device if like mine, the OTA method failed.
ROOTING
NOTE:this method only works for devices already running 4.1.2. for rooting 4.0.4, use kingoroot which can be found here
before starting, please make sure you have "UPDATE-SuperSU.zip" copied to the root of your external SD card which you can download from here
+++to install CWM:
Follow these steps very carefully, or you might brick your phone.
1. Download Odin package and CWM-recovery-amazing3gcri-eng.tar.md5 from here Extract Odin to a known location and copy the tar.md5 files to the same location
2. Right click on the .exe file inside of the odin folder and select “Run as Administrator”
3. Now that odin is running:
4. Place you galaxy discover in download mode:
4a. With phone off hold vol - and power button
4b. Wait for the phone to present it warning menu release vol - and power
4c. press Vol +
5. CLICK ON THE PDA BUTTON
6. Browse to the appropriate sub directory and select "CWM-recovery-amazing3gcri-eng.tar.md5"
7. Press Start.
DO NOT DISCONNECT, UNPLUG, PLAY WITH ANY BUTTONS, OR CLICK ANYTHING ON EITHER THE PHONE OR COMPUTER UNTIL ODIN HAS FINISHED FLASHING CLOCKWORK RECOVERY ON YOUR PHONE.
8. To boot into recovery, turn off the phone, now press and hold the volume up button, press and hold the power button, wait for phone to boot to recovery, release both buttons. ignore the triangle at the bottom of the screen, that will get fixed later
9. Now highlight "Install ZIP". select "choose from sdcard"
10. Scroll to "UPDATE-SuperSU.zip", and select using power button. another menu will pop up with "- - Yes Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" use power button to select it.
11. Wait for the magic.....
12. Once it is done, go ahead and pull battery and reboot device.
+++At this point, your device if the steps above have been followed to a T, should be fully functional(rooted) and running 4.1.2.
TO INSTALL NEAR-STOCK DEODEXED 4.1.2
1. Download "deodexednearstock4.1.2SCH-R740C.zip" from here. and put it onto the root of your external SD card.
2.reboot phone into CWM recovery
3.(recommended but can be skipped if on 4.1.2)once in recovery, use the volume keys to highlight wipe data/factory reset. use the power button to select it.
3a. use volume keys again to highlight " Yes - Wipe all user data". and use the power button to select it. wait until it is done
4.highlight "Install ZIP. select "choose from sdcard"
5. scroll to "deodexednearstock4.1.2SCH-R740C.zip", and select using power button. another menu will pop up with "- - Yes Install deodexednearstock4.1.2SCH-R740C.zip" use power button to select it.
6. wait for the magic.....
7. once it is done, go ahead and pull battery and reboot device. it may take about up to 10 minutes or so to get into the device itself to get it set back up.
+++at this point you should be on stock(except for launcher and browser) deodexed 4.1.2
just a word of warning, you'll have to install a web browser into it. when i first installed NakedRom from it's original form, it did not come with one. And to get Google Voice Search to work, just let it update from the Play Market.
TO REMOVE TRIANGLE ON BOOT
1. Go into download mode again (volume down + power and then volume up)
2. Plug in the phone.
3 Open Odin and select PDA and open "stock_recovery.tar.md5"
4. Make sure phone recognizes, and hit start.
4a. Again, same as last time, do not touch device until it says complete.
5. When it's done, pull battery and reboot device.
+++At this point the triangle should have gone away but just to make sure.....
6. download and install triangle away from chainfire. here's the link
7. follow these instructions here. it's a youtube video about an S3 but the way you work the application should be really close to what's shown. run the application and let it do it's thing.
now device is completely stock (except the ADW launcher and root)
credits/ kudos; thanks to cowboyenvy for providing the initial tutorial.
chainfire for his wonderful softwares. and the gentleman who ported NakedRom to this device (to which this is all based off of).
just a word of warning, you'll have to install a web browser into it. when i first installed NakedRom from it's original form, it did not come with one. And to get google voice search to work, just let it update from the market.
the rom is fully deodexed so you should see a little bit of a speed improvement.
please feel free to let me know if there's any issues with this release and i will fix them as they are found for now as this device is the one i primarily use as of right now.

just an FYI, maxing out the processor speed not only greatly reduces battery life of the device but also shortens the usable life of the device even after changing the battery
by the end of my device's life, it was only good for making calls, surfing the internet, sending texts, etc. but I couldn't play even the simplest of games (like 2048) without my device freezing
Hello everyone,
After my first attempt to root my RN8P and a hard brick (after installing TWRP) I would obviously like to avoid a second disaster.
Let me give you a bit of an overview first though:
MIUI version: Global 11.0.6.0 (PGGMIXM)
Android version: 9 PPR1.180610.011
Security Patch Level: 2019-12-01
Bootloader: Unlocked
I am not a complete noob as I have already rooted and flashed CFWs on 2 Xiaomi phones (Redmi 3 and Redmi Note 4x) without any problems but I have to admit that I do not really understand all the details so consider me a "copy and paste" user which is why I post this here. After having the hard brick experience and dishing out 30 USD for my stupidity to have someone flash a stock ROM again I would like to make sure that I am NOT following a guide which will lead me down the same alley again.
Goal: Plan is to install TWRP and Magisk (want to continue using banking on my device) and flash the Lineage ROM. I also use Macrodroid to automate a lot of things hence the need for root.
Is there anyone here who could point me to the correct procedures for my ROM version/setup to help me succeed on my 2nd try?
I would love to learn all of this in detail before I attempt it again but unfortunately I am a busy dad with 2 young kids and simply don't have the time to really do
All help is much appreciated!
Cheers!
How to flash TWRP (LR.TEAM) and root RN8pro:
1. Download recovery file from this message
2. Open CMD from the dir where you store twrp.img (it's important because you don't need to type whole path of the twrp.img
3. Turn off the device, hold Power button & Vol- to enter fast boot and connect device to USB
4. In CMD type first fastboot devices to ensure that device is in fastboot, this is not important but recommended. Output should be something like this 4l6lsctgskpj4swc fastboot
5. Then it's time to flash recovery file. Type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
6. This is the most important step now, on the device screen it should write USB Transmission ok if that is there you are ready to go. Remove device from the USB and hold Power button & Vol+, When the device turn off the screen keep holding Vol+ it'll keep screen off for about 5-10 seconds, then it'll show a recovery, still holding vol+ because it will get restarted again, and again still holding vol+ and recovery will show up. Simple words (Keep holding vol+ till recovery not appear for second time)
7. If it asks for a password, it's a password you use on the device it self(one for unlocking the screen or unlock the device after reboot), enter password and wait for Data decrypt.
At the moment there is no root and recovery will be replaced after you try to boot next time. To prevent it from replacing recovery do next (my opinion is skipping step 8. and 9. and having stock recovery because of MIUI updates):
8. Go to mount and tick the /system
9. Go back, tap on advanced, then to File Manager search for system_root dir open it, then find system and on the bottom is file called recovery-from-boot.p Remove that file and recovery wont be replaced
Now how we root it:
10. Go to advanced and tap on Close AVB2.0 and swipe to confirm
11. Go back and tap to Install ROOT, swipe to install and Reboot system
This will install Magisk v19.4, after boot you can update it from the Magisk Manager, my suggestion is to first update the manager then Magisk binary.
I have done this on ROM: MIUI Global 11.0.2 and 11.0.3 | Stable 11.0.2.0(PGGEUXM), Android 9 PPR1.180610.011

Thanks a lot for your reply!! I will try this process. The only thing I was unable to find is the files you are mentioning. Can you please point me to those?
Much appreciated!
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for damage to property, software, data or person. Do not whine if you made a mistake
Requirements: PC (Running Windows. Virtual Machine will not work) , Internet, Knowing How to run adb commands. This guide won't work if your device has parental controls (family link)
Step 1. Enable Developer Options
To enable Developer Options, open Settings->About Phone->Software Information and click the build number 7 times. You may be asked for your password or pattern.
Step 2. Unlock Bootloader
Step 2.1. There will be a new settings menu called Developer Options. Click on it and then enable OEM Unlocking
Step 2.2. Reboot the phone. Unlock it and then Power it off fully
Step 2.3 Hold both volume buttons and connect phone to Computer
Step 2.4 You will be in a screen which says "A custom OS can critical problems blah blah blah" Hold Volume Up Button Untill the screen says "Unlock Bootloader?". Press volume up button.
(WARNING THIS WILL DELETE YOUR DATA SO BACK IT UP IF YOU WANT) Your phone will get erased and then boot up with an unlocked bootloader. Set it up
Step 3. Follow Step 2.2 after setting up phone and Check if the text at the top says KG:Checking or KG:Complete. If it doesnt then repeat Steps 2 and 3 until it does.
Step 4.Check for Software update but do not press update. Then, Follow Step 1 again. Go into the developer options, Enable USB Debugging. and also under oem unlocking it should say bootloader already unlocked. if it does not, do not proceed
Step 5. Download DSU Sideloader apk here and install it
Step 6. Download the rom file link
Step 7. Open DSU Sideloader and select the rom zip file. Use a custom userspace size as if you dont, it will only give 8 gb space to the gsi. choose how many gigabytes you want for the new rom.
and press the install button. It will tell you to run a command on your pc using adb. Run it
Step 8. After running the command, there will be an installation progress bar for the DSU. Once it is completed, press reboot button in the DSU notification. Speed through the setup and you are done. wait until the Finish setting up GMS notification pops up and click it and go through that setup
Post Install:
The normal phone app is gliched. Install Phone by google and set it as default
(Optional*) Use Lawnchair to get an launcher similair to the pixel phones and use the Pix Icon Pack for Icons
Things to know:
Reboot your phone from the rom to go back to stock version.
Press the reboot button in the dsu notification to go back to the rom

No no, ported rom is not a gsi(& so volte works) it's OneUI from s20fe & that happened because of heavy debloating...
