I saw the other post about how to root the a3, but the answers weren't accurate, I didn't understand all of it in which me trying to root got me resetting my phone, so can someone tell what exactly to do and install? And where do I find twrp for a3 nougat?
thanks in advance
Hi
I rooted my device when I got it, back in May. But a few days ago updated it to Nougat, so I had to re-root. (Off: not much difference between android 6 and 7, maybe just a few little things). I used odin to update + twrp recovery + root. Sadly the root reverted back my recovery to stock, but I don't care about it too much, the working root was my main goal. I used this https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...root-sm-a320f-fl-y-samsung-galaxy-a3-t3556026 guide to the letter, and it worked. Good luck on your device

Stupid question , but the part where it say's clear data+cache and flash before device initial initialization, was this done in twrp? Or Odin? I can't find twrp for the a3 Nougat. Or is it the same file as MM ? Thanks for your help
I think I used the same, but the wipe was done in stock recovery. As I wrote, rooting reverted it back.
Thanks, worked )
But can't find how to install magisk on an already patched boot image ???
Can't help you there, I don't even know what magisk is XD
Just needed root, I seriously can't stand ads.

Hi everyone, this is my first post
This winter I had decided to install the GCam on my Mi A2 lite, so I followed a guide (I'm not able to mod any phone) I managed to install the cam. To install that I obv needed to root my phone and indeed on Root Checker that was rooted. Some months later, the phone was automaticatly updated and after that I don't know how that lost his rooting and the possibilty to use Gcam (and other apps). I didn't want to do all the process again so I let that go.
Now I'd like to install the Pixel Experience ROM on my Xiaomi tho, but I read that I need to have root permission and the bootloader unlocked. My bootloader is already uncloked, because in developer's option, under "Unlock OEM" is written. "the bootloader's already unlocked."), but I have no root permission. I don't know what to do, because as I said I'm totally ignorant.
Can I install a custom recovery without root permission? How can I install the Pixel Rom? I need to root again my phone?
Thank you all for you help!

You need for sure an unlocked bootloader but regarding root although you don´t need it to flash a custom recovery nor a custom rom probably is better that you have it so you might need to do other things like install mods that need root.
Just flashing the Magisk you´ll recover the lost root status again but if you don´t have recovery now just boot on it through fastboot and then flash it over your actual rom or if you want the Pixel rom just follow the tutorial posted in the thread.

Do I need a TWRP Recovery tho? Because I read on some guides that's a requisite to instal Pixel Rom.
And please, can you link me the tutorial you mean? Because I can't find out that.

Yes, you need a custom recovery like TWRP and regarding tutorial there is a how-to-install method on every custom rom and also in the thread of a Pixel rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3911489 they´re just some few steps

To be honest I can't find where's the tutorial into that thread :crying:
Anyway I've just thought that maybe I've already have a TWRP. I did a lot of operations when I installed the GCam, so maybe I also did that. Is there a way to find out if I already have it?

Oh sorry since I don´t use PE rom nevermind there is not a tutorial there but you will find one here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...0-ressurection-remix-os-xiaomi-mi-a2-t3954197 it´s the same process (more or less) for any custom rom.
If you are on a custom rom just booting using advanced power reboot you can go to recovery to see if it still stays there, also you can go manually using key combination (vol up + pwr from a device off) and you have too adb reboot recovery command to boot on it.
Hi everyone
Sorry I am confused; there does not seem to be an ultimate universal root / twrp installation guide for the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone (my son's phone) in 2019.
No offense intended but all these various posts on the topic just help to confuse people!
I managed to unlock the bootloader but can anybody please tell me what is the easiest / user-friendliest way to install twrp (which version?) and root the phone so that I may proceed with flashing LineageOS afterwards to get rid of all the bloatware.?
what about these partitions A & B?
Thanks a lot in advance
https://github.com/tkchn/daisyinstall/blob/master/README.md
This is the guide youre looking for
@barumbads: Thank YOU!
[EDIT] er... this is for flashing a custom rom!
I did some extra research out of XDA
[Guide] How to root Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
and
How To Root Mi A2 / A2 Lite (Magisk) and Install TWRP Recovery
but again... confusing! which one should I go for?
(I already tried the later one and created another post following an issue with it!)

It depends on what you want to do.
Root doesnt need TWRP, just Magisk. There's a guide on here.
Flashing custom ROMs needs TWRP. Each custom ROM has specific instructions.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution for this phone.

Hi @a1291762 & thanks.
This is what I am saying it is confusing; I have been thru a few phones (samsungs, LGs, lately Xiaomi...)
and the process was first install twrp then root and then you could flash roms
I know when you flash LineageOS, you get root included in dev options so from your explanations I will look how to flash LineageOS but currently I'm struggling installing twrp as you have seen in my other post

My last phone didn't have A/B or encryption or use Magisk for rooting... So for me everything about this phone was new and different.
I started with stock (android one means I didn't immediately want a custom ROM). Then added Magisk. I added TWRP after edxposed caused me bootloops (magisk manager CLI can run from TWRP). I haven't installed a custom ROM yet but I've got a custom splash and bootanim.
Hi there,
I just dared to try and root my new S20 FE...and it worked.
I basically followed the steps in the S20 root Thread or the Link from the S10 root thread.
I didn't use vbmeta_disabled.tar, seems like it is not needed anymore.
Was also curious if we could just use TWRP from S20...but I ended up with a soft brick...so doesn't seem to be so easy :crying::crying:

Hard brick where you are stuck with a phone that never boot again. Very hard to do though

Just managed to root my 5G SD version as well following the S20 link. It’s even easier now using the latest magisk manager to directly install magisk rather than patching tar file.
Edit: I didn’t use vbmeta either.

As per the S20 link by OP, here's a very quick summary of what I did:
1. Unlocked my bootloader.
2. Skipped "Stage 3: Disable Android Verified Boot" in the link.
3. Searched and downloaded latest official firmware from sammobile specific for my australian model.
4. Used Odin to upgrade. I put CSC instead of HOME_CSC to erase all my data (not much data on my phone anyway) wanting a clean upgrade, and left "USERDATA" blank.
5. Skipped "Stage 5 and 6" in the link.
6. Downloaded and installed Magisk Manager from Magisk official website.
7. Installed Magisk in Magisk Manager using its "Direct Install (recommended)" option (can't remember the exact words).
And my phone was rooted.
Note I did not do any backup while rooting my phone because it's pretty new and nothing much was on it (and it's not my primary phone), so it's a high risk procedure if it's your primary phone and if something went very wrong.
Hope this helps.

I don't get how you were able to utilize direct install.
Direct install would only appear if you already had root access isn't it?
If I follow steps
1 - unlocked bootloader
2 - skip stage 3
3 - skip stage 4 (due to already being on latest firmware.)
4 - skip stagr 5, 6 (your step)
5 - install magisk
6 - no direct install option.
?-?

I'm not sure why I was able to do direct install on my unrooted phone, noob here just following guides
I haven't had a samsung phone before, if I root it am I going to have problerms with warranty later?
I was able to install magisk root using instructions here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root
Used Frija for getting the FW.
edit: It seems magisk on this device breaks Tidal? Can anyone else confirm? Flashed back to stock, Tidal works, but with magisk patched tidal stops playback of all songs at 0:19.
I have some problems with rooting my device:
I tried to flash vbmeta_disabled.tar but ODIN fails to flash it
I used magisk to patch the boot.img and then flashed the image using ODIN, root works and I can access the system, but I can't change system to read-write, so I can't make any changes to files in system (or any other folder in root). Any apps I have get root access from magisk, but fail when attempting to make any changes to system files, so they are useless.
Does anyone else have these issues? Is there a step I should have done to be able to write to system/root?
So what's the process of root on Android 11?

in my limited understanding android 10+ has a strictly read only system partition. any changes have to made via magisk overlays like systemless host files in adaway for example. EDIT: also there's ADB that can edit / write.

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.

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.
