[Q] Root for .253 Update ?

Hi,
I hope I'm posting on the right section. I'ld like to root my .253 ZL. I did install the update from scratch with SUS. With it root from .434 went away. Is there any method to root the .253 in a classic way without downgrading or something like this ?
Thanks !

Idk about just the kernel, maybe. But fit sure if you flash 434 root the upgrade you should be fine. No need to unlock.

If your BL isn't unlocked, yes.
But if i'm correct i do lose my drm key when i unlock my bootloader? so i really have to downgrade first?

If you want to keep your drm keys or backup them, yes you have to downgrade (see my guide in signature).

Hi ,
I am about to unlock the phone to install the TWRP and SU , i would like to know , if i do so, is it possible to lock back the phone in order to get updates from xiaomi? if yes , how ?!
, thanks in advance.
is the question that hard ? or the forum is empty ?
Not hard, yes you can relock and reflash stock via miflash. Read, re-read, and understand before you take steps.. plenty of guides here on xda
