Working root for Note 8 Miui 12 ? - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hello
Does any1 could root the note 8 with the Miui 12 ?
I could install TWRP and Orange fox recovery but i can't root the phone, the latest magisk which is 20.4 was flashed 3 times with the recovery and i can see the manager installed with the apps but the phone is not rooted.
Any help

Hey, i was able to root my redmi note 8 after last miui update (12.0.1 global). Obviously you have to have an unlocked bootloader, then flash twrp with minimal adb/ fastboot, i followed the tutorial in here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlocking-bootloader-twrp-rooting-t4031831
But i didn't type "fastboot boot recovery.img" . I would just remove my usb cable from phone then i hold upper volume+power button for few seconds, the phone turns off and takes me to Twrp, i flash Magisk and that's it I'm done.

how do you know that you don't have root ?
launch the manager and config the auto response to "prompt"

I'm stuck in format data in TWRP.
Bootloader unlocked, but I installed a lot of apps and used a pattern security and fingerprint.
I feel it was a bad idea, but will removing the security pattern and fingerprint be enough or need resetting the phone?

Help! Tried installing TWRP now my phone ONLY boots into TWRP!

I'm on Whyred in the U.S.. I unlocked my bootloader today after the two week waiting period then tried to install TWRP with ADB command lines and got the
"FAILED (remote: Anti-rollback check failed)" error so I then attempted to install TWRP through the TWRP recovery itself but accidentally ticked "Boot" as the destination. Now my phone will only boot into TWRP recovery and I can't get into MIUI 9.6.3.0 anymore! What can I do to bring my phone back?

Download the miui 9.6.3.0 rom, extract boot.img from that, copy it to phone, flash it in the boot partition, voila.

It worked! You're a lifesaver, man. Thought for sure I had FUBARed my new phone. I used an OTG USB stick to flash the boot.img from.

Glad I could help. Next time, be more careful. ??
I don't think I'd be monkeying around so much with my new phone if Xiaomi didn't make it so damn difficult to install TWRP recovery on their "anti-rollback" roms now. It's impossible to install TWRP using adb now because of the ""FAILED (remote: Anti-rollback check failed)" error and even installing TWRP Recovery through TWRP doesn't seem to work, or at least I can't figure out how to do it (it reboots to stock recovery). Bah. I think we need an updated guide or something.

You need to flash lazyflasher after you flash TWRP within TWRP. So that MIUI won't replace it with its stock recovery every time.

Okay, I finally figured out the problem. I was installing lazyflasher right after installing TWRP Recovery and got no errors, but every guide I've read has been telling me to press both "power" and "volume +" until I see the Mi Logo then release "power" while continuing to press "volume +" until the TWRP recovery screen shows up but every time I did that it would boot right into Android. But on my phone I have to release both buttons as soon as I see the Mi Logo and then it will boot into TWRP. So that was what was stumping me. Now it's all sorted and I just made my first Backup with TWRP so all is golden now
Thanks for all your help.

I have one final question which you might be able to answer: if I wanted to re-lock the bootloader and unroot my device back to factory defaults, I heard I can just flash the MIUI 9.6.3.0 rom over my existing install of MIUI 9.6.3.0. Where would I download the correct rom for that for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (model #: M1803E7SH) for the GSM Unlocked Global version I have?

Root global 10.2

Been searching,but I'm feeling a little lost. Is it possible to root mix 3 on global rom 10.2 ?
Bootloader is unlocked ,but I don't know where to go from here .
Thank you.
I don't have my mix 3 yet (should be delivered in a couple of days), but from what I've gathered, yes, you can (assuming your mix 3 is global too).
There's a TWRP_perseus you can use on this forum, but when you flash it, you have to boot in it holding vol+ and power, the command fastboot boot recovery won't work.
Then you can flash magisk v17.1 or v17.3, as v18 is known to have some trouble.
But you may want to wait confirmation from someone who actually has the phone already.
I have a global Mix 3 and global 10.2 ROM, root works fine with Magisk 17.3. The procedure is the same as Chinese Version, flash TWRP followed by Magisk 17.3 zip.

Is stock camera working for you? I've read a couple cases in which root breaks camera functionality.
Yes the stock camera still works.

I have stucked on rooting global 10.2 for few days.
I usually use fastboot command to boot in to recovery, didn't think of using the button to enter twrp after flash.
Now my phone works fine with magisk 17.3, Thanks a lot!
after booting in to fastboot I try to flash twrp by the following command;
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
No response.
Trying both adb devices and fastboot devices I find my phone attached.
Anyone have any pointers to what might be the issue?
thanks
Hi I also want to root my device but my computer can't find my device in fastboot mode. Do you have drivers I can install? I tried installing those from Google but the problem still persists.
Try and USB 2.0 socket on your PC or an USB 2.0 Hub, this worked for. I have no idea why USB 3 does not work.

you have must type 2 command:

fastboot boot twrp.img
then it will successfully reboot to TWRP

So you don't need to flash a patched boot.img at all? It's literally as simple as unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP_perseus, rebooting to TWRP again, and then flashing Magisk 17.3?
Yes, if you have actual Global hardware, you flash twrp, press and hold vol up and power to reboot to recovery (you cannot use commands, atleast with CN hw). Then flash Magisk. If it bootloops, you have CN or other hardware, and you need the Magisk module I created to hide your hardware origin.
Trying to flash on a different computer did it for me. My phone is now rooted. Must have been a driver issue as I did everything exactly the same way as on the first computer. Thank you everyone for your help!
Hey guys, I am very new to Android since i switched from iPhones now to the Mi Mix 3 (EU Version). I unlocked the bootloader already and have the adb drivers installed and when I try to boot into TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" into "fastboot boot TWRP.img" it will boot back into MIUI. I also tried some methods mentioned in various forums like
"1. Put phone in the fastboot mode (switch it off, then press and hold power + volume down for a couple of seconds)
2. Flash twrp through fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)
3. Boot TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img)
4. When phone screen become black, hold power + volume up until it vibrate then release all
5. The phone will boot into twrp "
but I never get the phone to go into the TWRP recovery mode. It either boots back into MIUI or into the MIUI Fastboot screen. Has anyone an idea? Should I try to reinstall the drivers or what could be the issue?
Thanks a lot in advance!
The Magisk zip file you flash in twrp does the patching for you, that's exactly what it's for in fact.

This is the issue. For now, you have to boot in twrp holding power and volume+ buttons.

Does it have to be volume+ ?
I already tried it a lot with volume- button but if that is the difference then I will test that in the evening Thanks

You must do the "fastboot flash recovery twrp_perseus.img" command and then hold VOL UP + POWER. You CANNOT use the "fastboot reboot recovery" command it does not work. The TWRP image we have sucks and I have been asking some people for some better directions so I can build us a working english TWRP image, but no one has replied to PMs yet.

Can NOT boot into custom recovery after MIUI Pie 10.3.1 Global Stable update

My bootloader is unlocked.
After installing PIE update to MIUI Global 10.3.1.0 Stable, when I try to boot OrangeFox recovery ver. R9.0-2 for Whyred using fastboot command "fastboot boot recovery.img" in CMD ( the result is shown below), the phone does NOT boot in OrangeFox recovery. It just remain stuck on MI logo after booting ...
C:\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.951s]
booting OKAY [ 0.157s]
Finished. Total time: 1.158s
Kindly advise on how to resolve the issue
Did you temporarily deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature with
>fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
where you will find the dummy.img in the official download of the Xiaomi firmware before trying to boot into recovery?
This needs to be done in the same fastboot-session that you want to boot into recovery.

Many thanks for the advice. Worked like a charm. :good:
No, I did NOT deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature which was causing the problem.
In the past, whenever I installed custom recovery on my device including the first time, I did NOT have to flash dummy.img as my device booted into custom recovery without flashing dummy.img.
P.S.: I used dummy.img from this thread:

ONLY IF you have Unlocked-Bootloader, then you can use this MIUI Flashing Guide- Method 2: Fastboot Update to unbrick your device.
Please carefully chose the firmware version (Global / India) to download the fastboot stock ROM for your device.

Great that it solved your problem!
As addendum: The Anti-Rollback (afaik) has to be disabled every single time the recovery is changed/updated. This caught me off guard as I wanted to update TWRP from within the offical TWRP app. This failed and made my recovery unusable (Although I could still normally boot into system).
So let this be a cautionary tale to people.
I can't boot to my custom recovery in my redmi note 5. it is booting to the original recovery. I tried TWRP and REDWOLF recoveries . It will boot in the first time, then I reboot my phone after that when I reboot, it is booting to the original recovery. Same happened when I tried RED WOLf recovery. Pls help me.

Remembering, I've used several types of twrp here for the for the mod, flashing along with k vbmeta etc, nothing solves that

I have the same problem. I have MIUI 12.0.5.0. QGGMIXM and I have tried TWRP 3.5.0_9-0 and TWRP 3.3.1-unofficial. I have flashed both via fastboot with vbmeta extracted from corresponding ROM.
After flashing, I launched
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
so the device reboots but twrp is not showing, instead it reboots itself into system. At this point if I launch
Code:
adb reboot recovery
the stock recovery appears.
Moreover, I have successfully tried to flash TWRP 3.3.1-unofficial on MIUI 10.0.6.0 via the same procedure. This makes me think it has something to do with the latest MIUI. Anyone has an insight?
I have found this

No, for root and recovery only and stock miui you can follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-root-t3995919

Question Help: Can't flash twrp recovery from PC to my Phone (F3)

I successfully unlocked my bootloader, then I tried flashing the twrp by following munchy's tutorial from YouTube (as someone recommended here). I also used the twrp recovery file he provided in the description, by using the latest platform tools from the official website. It was going pretty good. I even got the TeamWin logo, and also loaded up the twrp interface, and was able to navigate through it. But the problem was my internal storage wasn't showing up. So I booted back to my system normally to see If I can find a solution. Then I think I tried again after restarting to see if it fixes itself, but the same problem was persisting. The next time when I tried again, I used the latest twrp version which I downloaded from the official twrp website.
But since my 3rd attempt, I am not able to see any TeamWin recovery come up on my phone, when I connect I do the "fastboot boot (twrp filename)" command in cmd. When I do the command, nothing shows up. The device remains in the Fastboot mode, or just turns off. When I switch it back on, It turns on normally and boots into the phone without any issues, and I can use it. I've tried switching back to the original twrp version munchy used in the above linked video, but same result.
What did I do wrong here? How do I make my phone get into the twrp recovery when I enter the fastboot boot (twrp filename) command thru my PC? How do I make my Internal Storage available to view int he TWRP recovery so I can install it from my Downloads folder? I am on MIUI 14.0.4 If that helps. My end goal is to install Magisk.
Any tips/guides/suggestions are appreciated.
Installing TWRP and root does not erase your data.
Remove security from the lock screen. (decryption).Normally the latest TWRP decrypts the data.
Install Platform tools ,put the TWRP in the folder and run the commands from the folder.
TWRP SKK, Use A12 if your system is in A12/A13 if system A13.
Rename it to twrp.img
CMD
fastboot boot twrp.img
Powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current TWRP"
If offered, both slots.

Thank you. I had put backed the screen lock after the first 2 attempts because someone said to to that on a YT video after they faced the same problem. Now I tried again by removing the screen lock and the latest twrp for my device also boots up just fine. Now the problem Is I still can't access my internal storage .
Still having removed the screen security?
Which rom(fullname)?
Which TWRP?
Try to mount storage.

Yes, I removed the screen security, though I can enter TWRP, I can't read the internal storage. MIUI 14.0.4.
I just watched a YT video where the dude does the following:
-TWRP Recovery
- Wipe
- Format Data
- Types 'yes'
then
-TWRP Recovery
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Do not Install
After coming back to recovery after rebooting, he gets a pop up, which at the swipe says "Swipe to allow for modifications" which he swipes, then now after checking the Internal Storage, It's readable now. Is this a possible solution?
Twrp A13, obviously if you don't want to keep the data.

If error red lines, reboot TWRP and repeat the operation.

what's twrp A13? Also, I just unlocked my bootloader a few hours ago, so my phone has already done a factory reset and i don't have anything to lose except the Magisk APK and .img file in my phone.
But I have a question, will doing the format data just do a factory reset, or will I lose my ROM? Because I'm not trying to install a custom ROM, I just want to Install Magisk as the end goal with my current ROM.
MIUI 14 Android 13 so use this TWRP
plugged the phone into the PC when it is on the TWRP, you will have access to the internal storage. (works on my 12 pro aves twrp A13 Skk).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
I'm using the latest one I could find on the TWRP website for my device. Not aware If it supports Android 13 though as it isn't mentioned on the website. Just asking my prev question, will doing the format data from TWRP just do a factory reset, or do I lose the ROM and will have to install a custom ROM?
second question I forgot to ask in my prev post, after i do the format data and put the Magisk APK and twrp img file again on my device, will my device stay decrypted as I formatted the data, or will the problem persist?
sorry If i sound dumb

Use this TWRP(officiel).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
thank you, this is the one I was looking for. Sorry to bother you again, now I installed the Magisk V26.1 apk from TWRP. And when I boot back to system and try opening the magisk manager, this happens. It says downloading, forever. I think I shouldn't have directly downloaded the latest version. So probably have to downgrade it a bit. For that, what will I have to do?
Can I just hold the Magisk icon, and uninstall it simply like any other app? Or do I have to do it from the TWRP? Also, Is it necessary for me to uninstall it before downgrading, or can I just download the apk of older magisk version and flash it from twrp just like I did previously?
It was on my first post.

TWRP + Root
Hi all. Hope you are good and safe from Covid-19. If you like TWRP as your recovery and want to keep root access as well, I am going to show you how to do that. Because if you take the stock boot.img and patch it via magisk, you will lose TWRP...

Try OrangeFox. I never had problems with it. Been using it for half a year and constantly flash new ROM builds as a tester

I don't doubt it, the Twrp A12 also works for certain operations on an A13 system but for certain Miui roms some bootloop.

Hm ok.
Welp for me on AOSP, it works nicely. I flash a new build (or two) every week. Backup/Restore works as should. UI is nice and modern, imo better than TWRP. That's why I'm recommending it.
Haven't heard anyone saying that they can't view Phone storage on OrangeFox.
Hi,
@NOSS8 , I'd like to ask : I've only some hours to wait to unlock the BL. But one question, as it's yet the stock rom (FW V13.0.11.0, A12), wich twrp should I use ? I want to install a A13 rom (that supposes FW V 14.xxx !)
So :
- fastboot boot twrp (but wich one ?? A12 or 13 ?? ; skkk ? Or ?) (+ "flash current twrp" OR "install it in ramdisk"?)
- reboot recovery
- flash FW V14.xxx
- flash rom
- format data
- reboot system
- flash magisk (last version ? Seems to be 'big' changes ?)
- flash what I need (V4A, DFE (??), ....)
What do you think ?
Thanks a lot ! Main question is about what version of twrp.. Help will be very appreciated !

Instead, use Miflash with a Fastboot rom, you can extract the boot img for root.(don't re lock the bootloader).
You can root without TWRP, but according to this thread, if you root you lose the TWRP and vice versa, I don't know if this is still relevant.(I don't have this device).
If you need ,install the TWRP A13 after flashing the A13.

I'm very greatfull for your quick reply ! Thanks
The device is too a Poco f3, sorry.. This doesn't need to flash magisk for twrp to stick (I had another one I've broken)
But I don't understand what's the advantage to first flash a fastboot rom..? As you say to flash twrp would loose root and vice versa... (I've read the thread you're talking about ofox)
So I wanted to go trough +- the way I mentionned, as A13 as well as ofox 'seems' to work (but I'm carefull with that twrp on stock MIUI A12, and I never used ofox..)
So you do think it's a bad idea ?? The rom I want to flash is crdroid.
I'm more lost now ...
Thanks again !
