Root, Magisk and TWRP - Xiaomi Redmi 7 Questions & Answers

I unlocked just to be able to install magisk so viper4android might work. I tried to boot into recovery with fastboot but all .img I've tried fails with "too many links" error in every laptop I've used. ¿Any ideas? Also I read that this device behaves different than my previous Redmi Note 5 regarding magisk in the sense that magisk will override the oem recovery, is that so? If that's true then there will be no OTAs, am I right?

I had the same issue with both versions - 2.8.7.0 and 3.0.0.0 as well. I have RIO-LO1 single SIM version.
Reboot, Click no install root

It didn t ask me to install root, because after flashing TWRP I installed SuperSU and then tried to reboot.
Should i try to install TWRP, then unroot and then reboot to recovery?

Anyone has stock recovery image for RIO-L03? Thanks,

Flashing with locked bootloader

Hi,
My bootloader is locked, and I don't have access to a Windows box to use the Xiaomi unlock tool.
I can use fastboot to boot straight into TWRP without installing it. While temporarily booted into TWRP I can theoretically flash Lineage or any other ROM.
Is it safe to do the above, to flash whilst temporarily booted into TWRP?
I've flashed TWRP and later a ROM from Xiaomi.eu to a MI4c. It was locked after updating to Android 7.
If you can put it to fastboot mode with buttons, you'll be able to put it in EDL mode with ADB.
Then you can flash a official ROM with Miflash, but putting TWRP downloaded from Xiaomi.eu instead of original in rom folder.
After that you can copy and flash any rom with TWRP.
Seen in reddit and linked to tutorial from here.

Redmi Note 5 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download
or Redmi Note 5 Pro Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download?
I ask because I got the Redmi Note 5 Global Version (Dual Camera) in red color. Dual Camera is usually considered Pro eventhou it says nowhere Pro.
Using your link will relock my sim card or what do they mean by locked?
This phone came unlocked sim by xiaomi (stock).
Also will this relock my bootloader, which xiaomi unlocked for me after waiting 360 hours?

Just select flash_all.bat
You don't have to lock your bootloader but bootloader should be unlocked before flashing fastboot ROM
Check fastboot ROM file name, it should start with whyred (no matter whether you select Redmi Note 5 Pro or Redmi Note 5 global)
That's unusual, I always wipe vendor before flash a custom rom and don't have any issues.
Buet allways u can flash stock rom with TWRP or Fastboot and recover it.
I got mi suite installed, I got Mi Flash installed, adb and none can find my phone. WHen I turn on device it goes automatically into fastboot, maybe i can get into twrp but i cannot get into regular miui, I deinstalled all antivirus/firewall. I tried usb2 and usb3 ports on my pc.
PS C:\adb> adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
PS C:\adb> adb devices

I can get into twrp. Could I insert a sd card and add stock stable xiaomi rom for my phone and flash it thru twrp?
Would that delete twrp aswell and my unlocked bootloader?
Hi,
i could copy files to internal storage while twrp is running. Now can I fix my phone if i flash xiaomi stock rom in twrp?
will that lock bootloader? delete twrp? OR do I have to flash the fastboot version of stock xiaomi rom in twrp?

Flashing Recovery ROM from TWRP will not lock bootloader but twrp will be replaced by mi recovery to avoid this after flashing recovery ROM just flash twrp.img
I flashed stock xiaomi rom and twrp+lazyflasher. system runs again but i cannot install the rom i want.
"E2001: Failed to update Vendor image.
Updater process ended with error 7" after that i cannot boot anymore into system.
So i have to reflash stock rom while still in twrp, twrp and lazyflasher and i get into stock rom.

i think its related to my phone being the Global Version. I read it somewhere...

You can't flash twrp all you have to do is fastboot boot twrp.img and from twrp recovery once again you have to flash twrp.img
i meant flash twrp within twrp. sorry

Why what would that do?
what rom you are using?. your rom might be corrupted. I used Aosp - Pie, los 15, bootlegger, AE, etc currently on MSM extended. I wipe vendor partition before flashing rom everytime.

how exactly should i flash twrp in mi max3.

how exactly should i flash twrp in mi max3. Whenever i try, it stucks in mi logo. I tried all the available recoveries and even after that i formatted data, at that point it just stucks at mi logo. So, at that stage i should flash fastboot rom and than it boots normally. Mine is not official global version of the pjone and I m now in official global stayble versiin mi max 3 and just want to install twrp, nothing else. Dobt want to root. Can anyone help please?

No ROM installed, can't flash Global ROM to my Max 3

I've got my Max 3 unlocked today, decided to install Magisk but was prompted for password to decrypt, I've tried various passwords that I have but it doesn't work. So I wiped my data and and factory reset the phone from TWRP, thinking I could just download and flash the official ROM from the website.
After downloading the Official Global Stable ROM from Xiaomi, I've tried flashing it with various methods: by transferring the file through MTP within TWRP, through SD card and also sideload it with adb. But my phone remains stuck at the Xiaomi loading screen animation.
I have a Global version of the Max 3 and has the latest update (Pie) prior to unlocking. Did some reading, so I'm not sure if ARB is the cause or there's some steps that I've missed since I'm pretty new at this (usually unlock to install Magisk for Adaway and that's about it.)
Is there anyway that I can fix this or my Max 3 is doomed?
what version of recovery do you use?

Reinstalls the same version of rom via fastboot by Mi flash. Here is the link to rom via fastboot (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/how-to/rom-official-recovery-fastboot-roms-mi-t3827503). Mi flash you can search google or look here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/how-to/b-guide-to-fake-rom-unlocked-bootloader-t3846891) . In the latter there are instructions on how to do the whole process. But remember that you have to use the same version of the rom that came in the device not to give brick by ARB. Never skip a step and carefully read the entire process before doing it (I made a mistake myself for lack of attention or skip steps when doing these procedures).
