How to unlock bootloader and flash twrp recovery on redmi 1s running miui 9?
I've downloaded lineage os 15.1 and have all required things including twrp to flash custom rom, but I don't know how to successfully flash twrp using PC or directly with non rooted device.

My method:
A. To flash TWRP you need these tool:
1. Minimal ADB and Fastboot - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
B. You need TWRP for Armani - download: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6_hhjS3nx4IdzFHXzdfNXVCYm8
1. Download it and put it inside the folder of Minimal ADB and Fastboot (default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
OR
Right click the shortcut on the desktop and Open file location, from there copy the img file and paste it there.
2. Rename the zip file to twrp.zip (not twrp.zip.zip)
C. Reboot redmi 1s to fastboot
1. Shutdown phone then hold volume down key, and press and hold the power key at the same time. It will reboot automatically or boot to fastboot
2. Connect your phone to PC
D. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot
1. Run it normaly
2. type

Choose a method that suits you.
Files and tools is not owned by me, but to the respectful owners and developers.
Glad to help.

Thank you!
I will definitely try it right now and will reply you as soon as possible if it worked for me.

It did not work.
Then I tried to get information about rooting redmi 1s on mi forum.
They had a file I had to rename update.zip and flash.
I did and I rooted my device and then what I had to do is to flash twrp.
It is easy when you have root, I used flashify for it.
Then now I have lineage os 14 running on android N.
It is really smooth ROM and I'm glad I am using it.
And also, thanks for a quick reply, though it didn't work, I got many new ideas.

Can you please specify all the links and files you used to root and flash lineageOS-14.1 on Redmi 1s armani, and you need to unlock bootloader?

Rooting 7T without TWRP / Pre-patched Magisk boot.img for 10.0.13.HD65AA (Global)

For those who can't root via TWRP or somehow lost root while updating (like I did), I have a patched boot image to aid others in this endeavor. This is a boot.img from a T-Mobile 7T which I had converted to the Global ROM, extracted and patched by Magisk after applying the latest update (10.0.13.HD65AA). Fully tested and working!
Instructions:
Unzip and place it in a convenient folder (ie, C:/adb/ or whatever's easy to remember.
Open a cmd prompt and navigate to your fastboot/adb folder.
Then run the command
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Your phone will be "temp-rooted" once it boots. If you haven't already, install Magisk Manager, then flash Magisk itself (ALWAYS do direct install!).
Don't install any modules yet. Just reboot when prompted after the Magisk flashing process is done.
Profit!
Download from Google Drive
[I dunno where else to upload this that XDA would consider "safe," so GDrive it is, I suppose.]
Spoiler: Process for manually patching the boot.img without TWRP:
Requirements: Stock device with unlocked bootloader only (no other mods), most recent OTA update applied and system rebooted. Fastboot and ADB Windows executables.
1) Enable advanced reboot and usb debugging in developer options.
2) Reboot to bootloader.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
3) Boot to twrp
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
(or whatever you named it).
4) Once booted, enter:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/tmp/boot.img
exit
5.5) Copy file to the PC:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/boot.img stock_boot.img
6) Reboot phone back to Android.
6.5) Copy boot.img back to phone:
Code:
adb push stock_boot.img /sdcard/boot.img
7) Make sure you have a data connection.
8) Install Magisk Manager.
9) Select option to install Magisk (not the Magisk App). Choose "Select and Patch a File."
10) Point to the boot.img.
11) It will do its thing then come back with a done message. File /sdcard/download/magisk_patched.img will be created.
12) Copy this file to your PC, either using MTP or ADB.
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/download/magisk_patched.img
13) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode again.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
14) Boot the patched boot from step 12:
Code:
fastboot boot magisk_patched.img
15) Launch Magisk Manager again. You should see the current version available and the installed version below that now. If all is good, choose to install/update Magisk, then "Direct install" and reboot when finished.

I guess you posted it in wrong section as mentioned the file is for Oneplus 7t ?

OH! You're right. I goofed. I'll ask a mod to move it.

This will delete all the data from the phone + bootloader needs to be unlocked?

Flashing this doesn't erase your data, unlocking the bootloader does, though (and is necessary to flash this).

You might be better off pulling the boot.img yourself and patching it. I can't guarantee that this will even work on the T-Mobile version. But if you want to test it, just boot the img and root from Magisk once it loads. If it bootloops, well, then we know.
EDIT: Updated OP with instructions on how to patch the boot.img.

Question How to root without twrp

My problem is that I have installed a custom rom that is no longer in support in XDA .
So when I tried to to boot using fastboot boot twrp.img command my device won't boot in twrp therefore I am not able to install twrp hence magisk is still not working.
Is there any other way to root my mi 11x witouht using custom recovery.

Yes. It's the twrp fastboot method.
1. First of all you need the boot.img from your ROM. For a fastboot ROM it's in the Images folder. For an OTA you have to use a payload.bin extractor.
2. Then install the magisk manager app and use patch boot.img
3. Then install the patched boot.img through fastboot

Maybe they used the wrong boot.img for their ROM. Are you using MIUI? If so it may be more difficult as you've got to get the correct version from firmware finder. Even then magisk might not like your MIUI install. I've heard people running custom ROMs able to install magisk on Mi11X. E.g HavocOS, ArrowOS etc
This is the only way to install magisk properly at the moment
Edit: if you prefer MIUI there is another alternative by flashing on of the improved MIUI ROMs (they just take MIUI and add slightly extra features and improve performance). I can't link the telegram group on XDA but you can PM me

To install twrp do this:
(pre requisites)
-driver for f3 installed;
-adb and fastboot or platform tool (preferable) on the pc;
-usb debugging enabled on the phone.
Therefore:
1) download the .img file of the twrp you want to install, I used this:
Downloads for : Xiaomi Redmi K40 / Poco f3 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
2) rename the file to twrp.img (for convenience);
3) move the trwp.img file to the adb and fastboot folder (if you use adb) or to the platform tool folder (if you use platform);
4) always in the same folder open a cmd window (go to the address bar, type cmd and press enter);
5) after activating usb debug on the phone, turn it off, start it in fastboot (long press of Power + volume -) and connect it to the pc;
6) check if fastboot recognizes the phone with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your phone code appears you can start it in twrp.
7) to start it in twrp type this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
8) now the phone should automatically boot into twrp, so go to Advanced> Flash Current TWRP
done, you should now have twrp installed. for the root there is this guide:

Question Need help rooting the Poco F3

Hello fellow XDA'ers
I have waited and unlocked the phone, running the MIUI 12.5.1.0 (RKHEUXM) the EU Official Rom that came with the phone, and was following the guide on how to root from NaldoTech, but i'm stuck, magisk can't patch any Firmware file i throw at it...
Don't know what i am doing wrong, i opened the zip files manually looking for the boot.img file but i cant seem to find it in any of the Firmwares i download from XiaomiFirmwareUpdater.
Also tried downloading the rom file and extracting the contents using the xiaomi-flashable-firmware-creator, but no luck with that either, throws some permission error at extracting the payload.bin
what can i do from here??
thanks in advance

Easy peasy
Steps
Download Adb and fastboot tool.
Or just download TWRP image and start CMD from there "the folder containing the twrp img" (in destination bar type cmd and press Enter) /the drivers should be installed and working properly ofc.
1- set phone in fastboot mode then plug it in to PC
2- Type: fastboot boot twrp.img (twrp here is the img file)
Then the phone will boot into twrp.
The phone will be shown in PC. Paste Magisk in the phone. Then go back and flash it using TWRP. Then reboot to system. And you're all done.

You're doing something wrong then.
Check all drivers are set up properly. Try flashing twrp then boot to it using Volume UP + Power button.

Make sure you download Nebrassy's twrp 3.5.10

Managed to do it, not with twrp tho, the way i intended originally, i found this payload extractor, went on miui and download latest package (on the phone), after that sent the file to pc and extracted the contents to the payload extractor tool, follow the tool's guide and Tadaaaa! got yoursef a boot.img.
after that was simple and follow the rest of the NaldoTech guide, which is sending the boot.img to phone, open magisk manager, click install, select the boot image to pach, wait couple seconds and done. After that just copy the magisk patched boot image to pc and turn off your phone, enter fastboot, and flash the boot.img in boot_a and boot_b.
and you are done boot the phone and open magisk app to see the installed confirmation

How to root a OnePlus 7T Pro with Magisk, For Noobs!

In this guide, ill be showing you how to root your device using Magisk. This is done at your own risk, i am not responsible for corrupted images, bricked devices etc.
*NOTE: This guide is for the OnePlus 7T Pro only*
What you will need:
A windows PC - idk buy one lol?
Platform tools SDK - https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
USB cable that came with the phone
Magisk Manager APK - https://magiskapp.com/apk/
Your phones current software boot.img! You can either get this from the vendors website, or if you are running a custom OS, you should already have the file.
*Ill be assuming you are familiar with cmd, fastboot commands, and that your bootloader is already unlocked, and you are running a custom recovery! For a guide on how to do the last two things, part of my last guide can help you - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-install-android-12-derpfest-for-noobs.4385171/ *
Step 1: Download the magisk apk from the website and install it to your device. After this, copy over the boot.img file that is from your current rom into the downloads folder of your phone! Now, open up magisk manager, and press install beside the 'Magisk' Section on the home screen. Then press 'Select and Patch a FIle'. Now you can select the boot.img file and let Magisk do its thing.
Step 2: Once that process has been completed, you should have a file beginning with 'magisk_patched....img' in your downloads folder. Copy that file over to the platform tools folder in your computer. Now boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer. Then on your computer, go to where you placed the magisk_patched file and in the search bar in file explorer type cmd. This should open a cmd window. Then type 'fastboot reboot fastboot' in order to enter your phone into fastbootd mode.
Step 3: Type 'fastboot flash boot 'PATH TO MAGISK_PATCHED FILE'
Let this run and once its done, reboot your phone.
Go to Magisk and Voila you should be rooted!
If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask!
If i have made any mistakes in this guide, or you guys think i should make any changes, let me know, im new to this!

Thnx for the post , and confirming that this worked perfectly with OP7T PRO Android 11 official ROM

Do I assume correctly that I would wipe everything?

Hello, up to step 3 everything was fine. I let it run its thing, and reboot, BUT it became stuck in fastboot, forever. What can I do? I tried to wipe data and everything, but it's still stuck. Is there anything I can do?
Okay, so I manage to get my phone unbricked and is now running TWRP, which it was not before doing this. Am I correct to assume that doing all this without TWRP breaks the phone?

Personally I install TWRP to do mostly backups, if needed.
But you have to use this twrp for Android 12 :
