second. i never liked stock roms so again... if i put twrp i can flash whatever rom i want or there are steps every time so i wont brick the phone? thank u guys for ur time
dont do it
For rooting stock ROM, you can flash twrp and flash magisk but you should be careful to pick a recovery which is for android 10 and also not for CFW.
For flashing custom roms, you should read the megathread. It's not very complicated and if you follow the exact steps, you will not get bricked.

It's all explained in the megathread, sir. For custom ROMs you need CFW recovery but for you to be on CFW you need to flash CFW with a non-CFW recovery.
Best way to do it is in the CrDroid post.
Have a nice day!
tl;dr: flash Android 9 then megathread

i tried rooting with magisk on latest android 10 miui 11 , basically you will fail safetynet and basic integrity will fail as well you can try to hide fingerprint with magisk busybox and props module and type su to give termux root access and edit fingerprint to pixel 4 but it's not guaranteed i don't know if there is google attestation hardware in begonia anyways you can try.
here's a pic from pixel experience safetynet.(not rooted)

Hello everyone,
i have a few questions just to make sure i understand the matter good enought.
right now my phone has a locked bootloader and i have to wait about a month until i can unlock it. The ARP code is 3.
I would like to start using my phone but also want to update to the latest firmware.
A read a lot but i still have some questions just to make 100% sure i've got this right.
Q1: Is there any other disadvantage other than ARP when updatating to the latest firmware?
Q2: Is there any advantage to use newer firmware?
Q3: From my understanding the only thing to mind when flashing a new rom while ARP is active is to make sure you don't flash a rom with an older firmware than the one installed at the moment. But beside that i can install ANY rom. Is this correct?
Thank you in advance
I also want to know

1. No, the only "bad thing" is the ARB.
2. Yes, it is, they push fixes to wifi, basebands, etc and stuff that can help with battery life or overall system performance/smoothness.
3. Yeah, that's correct. Usually custom roms don't have firmware in them, but you should check it anyway (doesn't hurt to be extra careful). So yeah, you can install any rom, even one that'll activate ARB.

1. well only thing is you need to manually install twrp when you boot into twrp. using the .img and having twrp in sd card or internal. once you flash itll stay in phone.
2. and 3. already answered above.
thanks everyone. That clears things up for me.
So this anti rollback protection isn't as bad as some make it out to be.
I'll update to the latest stock firmware and use that until i can unlock my bootloader an install custom rom.

Unless you brick your device and have to apply for Mi authorisation (the reason why this my last Xiaomi phone unless things change) "Unfortunately authorizations is not granted (anymore). You can try your luck by pm mods in miui Forum or post your ID in countless threads..." Xiaomi crap like this which prevents people using a phone they paid for. Until then I will stay on ARP 3 regardless of fixes
I've seen somewhere that if you remove firmware from zip, you can basically install any rom or that only applies to MiUI?
Is that true?
I also have few questions i would like to be answered if someone has time.
My phone is gonna come in few days, it will be in anti 3.
Im a guy that non stop changes rom and test new stuff, it would be for the best if i dont get into anti 4 or else i am screwed?
What is better, redwolf recovery or twrp and why
If im in anti 3, is custom recovery permanent or it needs special ways to access custom recovery like in anti 4?
Any rom can be installed over custom recovery if im in anti 3? I dont need MiFlash at all? As long as i remove firmware folder from zip i am about to flash
Xiaomi.eu or global dev/stable?

It's recommended to stay on ARB3, but if you get into ARB4, the removal of firmware folder in the rom works. You just gotta know how to edit the meta-inf stuff to make it flash on the device. Nothing hard. And you're not screwed, you just gotta be extra careful when flashing MIUI roms.
OrangeFox is the best, IMHO. It's nice, it's themeable sort of, it's smooth and with the latest update, you can backup your internal storage too on a nandroid backup. But when it comes to recoveries, it's down to personal preference, they basically do the same thing.
If you are on ARB3, you don't need dummy.img or any other tweaks. Since you haven't triggered ARB(which blocks most fasboot command), you can use fastboot commands normally. So after you flash the recovery(with fastboot), it stays there.
And you can install any rom in recovery, as long as the rom is built to be installed in recovery. You can't download a fastboot rom and flash it in recovery. MiFlash is used to get back to stock, mostly, that's for fastboot roms.
As for the roms, i'd recommend going into custom roms(not MIUI), but if you do really like MIUI, from what i've read on Telegram, people spoke highly of Revolution OS. I haven't personally used it, i only dealt with Xiaomi.eu roms, but again, i don't play nice with MIUI.
I want to stay arb 3 too as I'm currently waiting for my unlock.
I've seen in the firmware thread

There's "Firmware without Arb"
My question is, can I install a custom Rom, install the latest firmware without arb and stay on arb 3? So I still get the benefits of having the latest firmware.

thank you very much for clearing some things for me, well since only miui i'm going to try is xiaomi,eu and they dont have ARB i guess im fine. I like miui, but i also love custom roms.
Alright, then my only thing to watch is to not get myself into anti 4 and i'll be fine
One more question, Ill be getting redmi note 5 pro ai dual (CN) i dont need custom cust when flashing?

No, you don't (at least for xioami.eu). Usually, if there's a need for cust, the devs will say so. AFAIK, it's only needed to swap between stable and developer. And yeah, xioami.eu is a good choice.

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.
I heard people brick their phones after flashing magisk. Is that their fault or it's just that magisk doesn't work on this phone yet?
Seems to be the later.
I will test some Magisk versions today.
The manager installs just fine, I downloaded the image from Mi and extracted the boot.img from their firmware. It seems to have been patched just fine with the Magisk app, I haven't flashed it yet, haven't figured out how to get to download mode on this phone. They have a custom boot loader and custom recovery on it. adb reboot download just reboots the phone. I went through the motions of unlocking the bootloader per their instructions but they're having me wait a week before I can unlock the bootloader. I'm hesitant to flash magisk before unlocking the bootloader and making sure I can re-flash with twrp if needed.
Flashing magisk bricks the phone, flashing patched boot.img also bricks the device.
Kingoroot anyone ?
A loot of people brick their phones.. but the sad part is to recover it back.. I dont know why is so hard to unbrick almost everyone Xiaomi phones...

Such a shame, I can't believe there's no custom recovery and root available yet for such a popular device. Let's wait and see.
Hey,

Should be quite similar to before, but if you flash preloader & lk, you can recover from these bricks. That said, I've never had magisk bricking it for me.
I am on MIUI 12, Android 10, Chinese Beta Rom and I have Magisk installed as well...
Any update on a fully working method to root our device?
Android 11, custom ROM, CFW

There is an easier way.
I had twrp as recovery and when i flashed magisk v20 zip it bricked both the normal system and recovery
It was saying "The system has been destroyed"
So i was doing random stuff and found the solution
1) go to fastboot
2) from pc execute the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" you probably know how to install twrp
3) then boot to recovery
4) enter password and allow modifications
5) go to reboot > System
Thats how i did it.
I have not tested with other custom recoveries
Hope I help

why would you want twrp when there are no roms?
you could try flashing a gsi, or rooting the tab though..

apparently all GSIs have bugs with this device though, so maybe go for root.

Since when was TWRP specific to flashing ROM only? People use TWRP to perform nandroid backup or for flashing zip files for Magisk modules or whatever. Flashing ROM is just one of the things you can do.
And why would you stick with stock recovery anyway? Having custom recovery like TWRP or FOX is always a good thing, regardless of custom ROM availability or not. People should learn about the fundamentals of a recovery.

Sorry mate but I am aware of magisk modules and all, that's why I linked a root guide...
Also, on xiaomi devices unlocking the bootloader is a long and tedious process, and the Mi Pad 5 was relatively new when I made my reply, so I didn't want to:
(a) void someone's warranty
(b) encourage them to flash unofficial, untested TWRP (most likely bugged anyways)
(c) brick their device by flashing beta TWRP
Of course, I understand that custom recoveries have many advantages over stock, but at the time of writing my reply, there were no official custom recoveries for this device, and there were only a couple of beta/untested builds.
Cheers!
PS: No one would make a nandroid backup if they weren't going to make modifications to their device (adb/root/magisk), so really, all uses of custom roms stem off of device modifications, which are granted through root access.
EDIT: Sorry I just checked, there were no TWRP builds available at the time of my reply, hence why I provided none and also asked that sarcastic question. At the time, you had to manually patch the boot.img via adb.
I want to flash custom rom on this phone, but without twrp I can't flash zip file, so I'm stuck with older version of gsi, without twrp, I can't root my devices for other Rom, so if anyone had skill to do so, please take your time and build twrp for people in needs, thanks
Which custom ROM?
Surely the custom ROM developer will have instructions of how to flash their custom ROM.....

GSI is a system image. On a dynamic partition device, that should be flashed through fastbootd. TWRP isn't needed for that.
TWRP will come, everyone must be patient...
Do you believe there will be any custom rom (not GSI) for this device?
As I research on previous models it doesn't seems like is ever going to happen
Not many but ROG 3 had a few custom ROMS...
Yesterday I posted a Beta TWRP for this device on Telegram. If you want to try it, here's the link:
EDIT: Removed TG link. See two posts down.
You barely need custom ROMs for these devices. The stock firmware is already quite lean and you can pretty much tweak, change and optimize them as you please. Signature spoofing works too...
