how do i flash magisk on twrp? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

hi,
im using a mi a2 lite,
so the problem is that twrp can't access /storage/emulated/..., when i open the folder, its completely empty, i've mounted everything, some people recommended to put the zip file to / but you need root to do that, and i'm trying to root my phone with magisk,
so it's kinda a catch 22 here, i can't root because i need to root to be able to move the zip file to root with magisk, some people suggested to use a usb otg, but i dont have any,
i also tried to install cwm recovery but there are no version of cwm for the mi a2 lite,
any help would be appriciated.

You can get root by patching the boot file (instruction somewhere). After that you can do anything you want.

SOLVED!

Nevermind, I did what Hoang told me, unlocked the boot loader, get the boot.img file from the stock rom on xiaomi's website, move it to my phone, open the magisk manager app, patch the boot.img, moved it to my PC, then go to fastboot mode and on the PC type "fastboot boot [drive-letter]:/path/to/the/patched_boot.img", then open the magisk manager app then click install(recommended) then reboot, install root checker and done!
You can find the tutorial here:
miuitutorial.com/2018/10/praktekkan-tutorial-berikut-jika-ingin.html?m=1
(Can't post links because I'm still a junior member)
It's in Indonesian but you can use Google translate
The problem with this method is that the magisk manager app will be removed when you update the Android to the next patch, so you will need to find the latest ROM with the updates and patches included,
Thanks for replying to my thread,

In the instruction they also show how to update without removing Magisk, is that not works?

You can patch the image and flash,load it via mtp or use an sdcard.Also the files are not at /emulated/stuff but simply either at /external storage or .sdcard

How to flash custom rom

Dear all..i have purchased the sprint version of g3..the ls990..and i have rooted it using stump root..now i want to install custom roms and update to lollipop since my phone is on 4.4.2 currently please guide me for all of the steps including installing cwm and twrp recovery..and since im a noob i dont know about all this so please keep this in mind..thanks.
On kitkat:
either option A
1. install twrp manager and press install twrp
or
option B
1. install flashify from playstore
2. download this, extract "recovery.img" from the zip
3. flash the recovery.img with flashify
_____________
Use quickboot from playstore to boot into recovery
What's the current firmware revision... ZV4? I assume so since ZV6 blocks Stump Root. If that's the case, then you'll need to install Bump'd TWRP...

Hi there, don't bother with root softwares such as these. For the MIUI Oreo ROM you need the latest version of Magisk or SuperSU. Whichever one you decide needs to be flashed in TWRP.
Browse the Mix 2 guides on XDA there's plenty information on this topic.

Just do a backup and root it forever, then you can use TitaniumBackup who backups everything.
Do it.

You can actually get away with not flahsing TWRP. You can setup the fastboot drivers on your PC, download the TWRP img and in CMD just boot to the TWRP image "fastboot boot TWRP.img" for example. It will boot to TWRP one time where you can utilize it's flashing capability but once you reboot there's no trace of it and you still have stock recovery.

How to root Mi A2 lite?

Is there any way, in this moment?
I would like to root and put TWRP on my device...I know there is no TWRP yet for this model and it's not problem. But how to root?
TWRP is not ready yet, but you can root with magisk, there is a guide in this forum.

Thank you very much.
I found that earlier but it's lot much job just for root and in that case phone will be factory reset. But I do not want to set up my phon several times.
Will wait for TWRP and then will root.

to use twrp you need to unlock the bootloader too, so you still hace to do the factory reset.
I know that...I already unlocked bootloader

So you don't have to reset the phone, you can install Magisk without losing anything.
How?
I installed Magisk manager app, but how to install Magisk.zip? Because manager without .zip does not work, of course
Rename to update.zip and install over stock recovery?

You should extract boot.img from fastboot ROM and patch it with magisk then flash it with fastboot.
Ok...I know that process...I thought there's another way. In that way I have to setup my phone again...twice was just fine
thank you

Please describe in detail the file you put a link to so that others won't have problems. I assume it is the boot.img patched with a specific magic version (which one?) of an 10.0.7 OOS ROM (which one?)

None of the rooting guides work?

Can anyone write an up-to-date guide on precisely what I need to do to install TWRP on a global-edition, fully updated (MIUI 12) Note 8 Pro today?...
There are three different guides and none of them work. I'm not interested in custom firmwares or anything else besides TWRP. I just want to install TWRP and magisk.
We are in the same boat...
Edit: N/A
Are you able to unlock your bootloader?
Also, pay really close attention to the warning at the top of the TWRP downloads page for your device.
WARNING: This device hard bricks really easily for unknown reasons. Restoring device without spending real money is impossible as of now. Don't flash TWRP unless you are an advanced user who knows what he is doing.

Additionally, there are a lot of weird quirks all over the place, which makes your device... non-optimal for modding.
Let me know if you really want help with this.
I really just wanted root and didn't realize you aren't supposed to use TWRP for it on new phones (especially this one.)

It's not that you're not supposed to use TWRP. It's that you need to know what you're doing.
That device you have is very easy to brick. I'm just making sure.
If you do only want root, that is very easy. First: do you have an unlocked bootloader? Second: exactly what software version do you have?

Installing Magisk from recovery is a legacy option and no longer recommended. The recommended method of installing Magisk consists of patching the boot image using the Magisk Manager app and then using fastboot to flash the patched boot image to the phone.
Installing TWRP is then as easy as using Magisk Manager to flash the TWRP installer zip, then reinstalling Magisk using direct install.
In order to retrieve a boot image to patch, you need to download the update you are using to a computer, then use a tool like Payload Dumper to extract the boot.img.
Kind of complex but it's the only option if installing TWRP without it bootloops you.

I don't own this device so I don't know any guides. The process is the same for most devices and the scripts will automate it for you.
Like I said, find a software update for your phone (search "miui 12.4.847.37586 OTA update zip" or similar), use Payload Dumper to extract a boot.img, transfer it to your device, install Magisk Manager and use that to patch the image, download the patched image to your computer, boot the phone into fastboot and flash the new boot image, and you'll have Magisk.
From there, go to the official TWRP website and download the "twrp-installer" for your device. Use Magisk Manager to install it. Then direct install Magisk to keep root.

Hey!! Fun fact, you don't need to use payload dumper for that! Download the "Full ROM" with "Type: Recovery", and unzip it. Inside there will be a "boot.img". That's what you patch using Magisk Manager.
