Does rooting break OTAs? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey, a friend of mine recently got his Redmi Note 5 Pro and I was wondering if I can root his phone so that I can install google camera but without loosing OTAs. If I root the device, will he be able to receive OTAs normally? He is on latest miui 9.6 stable.
Thanks in advance.

problem will be recovery. theres redwolf and if am not mistaken also orangefox recovery that can install OTAS

If you simply want to test gcam than u can follow this guide. i have tested it and it works on both miui 9 and 10. and doesnt break OTA. i even got updated from global 9.6 stable to 10 stable while having this and all was ok. its the safest way u can use gcam without root or anything.

My mi mix 2 is running miui 8 (8.5.5.0 STABLE) should it not be miui 9?

My mi mix 2 is running miui 8 (8.5.5.0 STABLE) should it not be miui 9?
Doing research on the internet says it ships with the latest miui 9.
My phone has had one ota update since recording the handset.
Purchased through Wonda Mobile.
No, MIUI 9 is still in beta. So you are running the right rom version

Go to settings and tick automatic updates.
BTW. You can go to MIUI 9 without unlock bootloader.

No additional update for me.
I will wait for the Global, before I re-setup my phone.

I am running 7.9.27 Version and it works smooth. Chinese apps can be very easily remove. For global Version you need unlock bootloader.
I will wait till the official Global from MI just received the 8.5.5.0 update
I'm actually liking the China stable ROM. With the new updated Google installer app, it's super easy getting gapps on here. It used to be a pain to get Google apps running properly on Nougat MIUI.

Heya,
updating manually to MIUI 9 doesn't grant root though, right? Do we have to unlock the bootloader for sure in order to achieve root?
Thanks.
I've updated to mini 9 from the Chinese rom, when loading up my music I noticed it will now not play m4a but will play mp3. M4a wont even show after loading to the phone. Any one have this happen?

Magisk, xposed working on emui oreo?

Has anyone tried magisk or xposed on emui Oreo?
Unfortunately,it not works.I tried it and as a result the phone could not boot
That's disappointing... I was hoping to get systemless xposed. Do you know where I can get the emui Oreo firmware? I want to flash the rros ROM but I'm not on the beta program.
Edit: If anyone is reading this you can get the emui oreo beta firmware from the L22 Indian thread - it is the same firmware and I can confirm that it works on L24. It almost certainly works on other BND devices as well. If you don't want to go that route you can also just wait for the official update in roughly a month.

Hi, Why don't you install emui 8 beta using the manual method as described in the other post. Even I'm not beta tester but I got it and after that I could also flash RR rom which becomes super easy to install once you are on oreo. Well, now I'm looking for a way to get root access. Also, the theme app is not working on emui 8 beta. Did anyone get any success with root on emui 8 beta?

Can I install MIUI 8.7.26 (MIUI10) without worrying about ARB?

I have a Redmi Note 5 Global with MIUI 9.5.19, and I want to install 8.7.26 (MIUI10) because I can't unlock my bootloader yet (14 days to go).
My question is: can I do that safely without bricking my device? And can I go back to MIUI 9.5.19 if I wanted to?
Thanks!
I did same thing and it worked flawlessly.

You have a locked bootloader? You used a recovery ROM or a fastboot ROM (MiFlash tool)?
Thanks!

Just update through the phones settings with the zip file. You might need to try different MIUI 10 versions. There is always only one version you can go to from your current MIUI 9 version. Took me 4 tries but now it's working great

I flashed MIUI 8.7.26 through the method you mentioned without issues, but it has so many bugs, especially with notifications on lockscreen that bother me so much. Do you know if I can revert back to global stable MIUI 9 with the same method without issues with ARB?

Question Any TWRP/Magisk for Mix Fold?

Hi!
My Fold will get delivered next week. Can't wait! Anyhow, I would like to install Magisk, v4a, and so on..
I don't see any Twrp available yet. Does someone know if there is any version on Chinese sites? If not, is there any on the way?
Has anyone flashed Magisk? Patched boot image method? Other method?
Is there any EU/Global rom for the Fold? Xiaomi.Eu won't support the Fold, which is sad. Is there any other?

Officially only chines are available, the phone came with Global 12.0.5 unstable, no PC mode, i immediately removed and miflashed chines latest stable one
V12.0.19.0.RJTCNXM​
.
Hi too answer your question yes theres no twrp available but flashed magisk patched works great having it work with safetynet passed having to be able to used gpay/ banking apps too and no eu roms with it.
with that said, For safetynet passed u gotta flash the universal safetynet fix by kdragon v1.2 + used the magiskhide props and with that used it on mi 10 ultra china and you will be fine. iam on latest version of it now which is now 12.0.19.

So to update, we don't use OTA, we need to use Magisk to keep the root?
I requested TWRP in the chines community, I got some feedback that I must pay in order to get it

The procedure is that you download the update through ota as per normal but after update don't restart, go to magisk and press the ota button whereby it will flash magisk on slot b thereafter then you can restart

Is that for real? Is there Twrp available ready and running, or are they tying to scam?

Question V13.0.5 downgrade to V13.0.3

I'm new to xiaomi world, I just received this minor update today, but there are few bugs and lags, I want to revert back.
Both Roms are stock Stable Global EEA.
I don't know how to dowgrade, because recovery zip and update app not work, unable to downgrade.
Can you show me a complete guide to flash that firmware? I need unlocked bootloader?
Anything in particular I have to know?
