[Guide] root ZVI / lower, Install TWRP, SIM Unlock, Enable Tethering, Remove KingRoot

How to Root
0. If you have ZVH and below stock ROM, jump to the next section and follow the SuperSU root method.
1. For ZVI, Simply use Kingroot and let it do it's work. Copy the apk to the internal SD.
2. You can download any root required apps to verify from Playstore. I like to install Holo Light Reboot. It has the option for rebooting to recovery.
3. Download and run Auto_Rec for LP from Playstore. Make sure you wait until you see a message saying ready to install.
4. Make a full backup from TWRP before playing with anything.
5. Optionally update your TWRP to the latest from this post, or direct download link from here.
To install SuperSU and remove Kingroot: (Since none of the posted method works for me, here are the step that I tried)
1. With Kingroot still installed, follow step from this post to install SuperSU: Installing from Playstore didn't work for me.
2. Launch Kingroot and go to setting menu and uninstall Kingroot. During the uninstall process, it will ask you to remove all other Root/SuperSu or something, just say no.
3. After a reboot, goto playstore and update it (maybe optional), for me, I have to goto the SuperSU setting menu to install it into System; otherwise it won't update binary. You need to do this twice before it will actually install itself into the system.
4. Update binary should work.
Permanent SIM unlock (You can now use both Sprint LTE and GSM):
1. Please follow this post TwoClick Tool.
2. APN setting likely disappeared at this point for ZVI rom. The final trick to enter your APN is to install an app from Playstore call "Change APN"
3. Power off, Insert you SIM card, then enter correct APN and select correct Network Mode. Globe is to0 slow to switch, I would choose either LTE/CDMA for Sprint or FreedomPop and GSM/UMTS for all other GSM sim card. (No need to run the re-lock script.)
P.S. I did do a system update on PRL after the unlock script from TWOClick-Tool but I don't think it matters, or maybe it does!
Enable Tethering Permanently (the easy way)
Remember the steps for installing SuperSU above, open a command window and enter the following:
1. Type adb Devices to make sure the phone is connected.
2. Type adb shell settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
3. Reboot. Done
Have Fun!

LineageOS 16.0 (build 20190425) - Microg, sig spoofing with full SafetyNet

UPDATE 06 OCT 2019: I will be returning to the project next week...
Apologies for my long silence over the past few months. After the initial release of this ROM I started focusing on getting the fingerprint sensor to work, which after some struggle I got it working. I then began spending time on removing non-FLOSS apps, services and providers that comes with lineageOS and replacing them with even better FLOSS alternatives. I made some good progress on this and created an automated build script for this. I also wanted to make the installation of the ROM easier, so I even created a script that automates the entire flashing procedure for you....yip...it's pretty cool On the security side I also made some good progress: I've applied several recommended hardening patches to the base system, and also patched the flawed mac-address randomization implementation that still exists in android today.
As I got close to preparing for release, google decided to stop support for maps-api V1 which is used by migrog. This completely broke all map views in apps and even started crashing the mobile browser. Because of the complexity of the android build workflow and tool-chain, I initially thought I screwed something up, but it was only after a couple of days of pulling my hair out people started reporting it on github. I had to wait for the mapbox implementation of microg to be released, and it eventually came a few weeks later.
It was shortly after the release that my personal priorities changed. I've been occupied (visa related) with that ever since but I'm happy to report that I should be able to return back to the project next week. Obviously some time has passed, so I will have to get up to speed with the latest releases of all of the repos and get that merged with my local changes, but that should only take a day. Hopefully there won't be many breaking changes, and if that is the case then I should be in a position to release V2 in about two weeks!
Cheers,
fanix (git-repo here: https://github.com/FaN11X?tab=repositories). Once you see commits you'll know I've started.
New build is available apparently.... don't know if it's the same dev..
UPDATE 08 MAY 2019: I'm in the process of adding support for the in-display fingerprint sensor. Stay tuned.
This is a lineageos 16.0 build from source on 25 April using latest source. The ROM is has been prepatched for system lavel signature spoofing based on the MicroG Android Pie patch (url removed, sigh). I did however change the protection level from "Dangerous" to "Signature|Restricted". This is a more secure way of enable signature patching as it requires the app using signature spoofing to be privaliaged, in other words, it needs to be installed to /system/priv-app in order for it to be granted this permission. This means that you wont be at risk of downloading and installing apps that might abuse signature spoofing.
The ROM also passes FULL SafetyNet with microg installed. It uses a custom build from Nanadroid which contains all the latest code changes which you wont find in there official releases as its not yet been packaged as a release. This solved many issues for me, like safetyNet now passing which allows me to install and run banking applications (like Barclay's Mobile Banking) and also uber seems to work just fine using the UnifiedNLP backend providers.
This custom ROM has NO google related apps or code, and you have the ability to switch on google released integration services through the microg services menu.
WORKING
So far... everything I've tested. (except fingerprint)
NOT WORKING
On-display fingerprint.
Installation steps:
1. Restore to stock firmware. I recommend the following Fastboot ROM as thats the one I used. *url removed* (download file search google "equuleus global images V10.2.2.0.PECMIXM")
2. Put device in fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader or Power Button + Vol Down)
3. Flash using MiFlash (Find it on google and be sure to select the "FLASH ALL.bat" option at the bottom and NOT the LOCK on, otherwise you will relock your device)
4. After flashing the stock ROM, let it boot up, then enable developer options and USB debugging.
5. Flash TWRP
* adb reboot bootloader
* fastboot erase recovery
* fastboot flash TWRP_equuleus_1102.img
* fastboot boot TWRP_equuleus_1102.img
6. Once in TWRP, goto WIPE and select DATA. Enter the word "yes" and once it is complete, go back to main menu, RESTART=>RECOVERY to reboot and automatically boot back into recovery.
7. Goto WIPE again, but this time WIPE DalvicCache, SYSTEM & Cache by selecting all 3 and wiping them (NO NOT RESTART AFTER THIS STEP
8. Once wipe is complete, push the content from the download folder provided below to the sdcard folder of the phone.
* adb push download_folder_containing_all_the_files /sdcard/
example: adb push /home/fanix/Downloads/lineageosrom /sdcard/
9. Once complete, you are now ready to flash lineage ROM. Select the lineageos zip file and flash it. (filename => lineage-16.0-20190425-UNOFFICIAL-equuleus.zip)
10. Once complete, you can then reboot to system to load lineage. After going through the lineage setup, you can then install microg (if you want)
Optional - Installing microg (from latest nanodroid) FULL SAFETYNET SUPPORTED
* Boot into TWRP (adb reboot recovery)
* Goto INSTALL, and select the following file: (NanoDroid-microG-20.7.92.20190424.zip).
* NOTE: This will install microg, including MsfProxy and UnifiedNLP with 4 backend providers. It will also install Aurora Store & Fake store.
* When install is complete, reboot and once in lineage, you can configure microg. You can log into google store using Aurora, either with your own account or their anonymised account. This allows you to download anything form the google app store, including apps that require verification, like mobile banking apps.
* If you want, you can test your SafetyNET using Magisk. You can find the magisk manager in the download folder. Install that and test SafetyNET. You do NOT need to root your phone to test this, you can simply install the manager. If you want to root your phone, simply boot back into TWRP and select the magisk 19.0 zip file and that will then also root your device.
Enjoy!

Hi fanix-uk,
Thank you very much! Is 3D face recognition working or just the 2d with the front camera?

I tried it. Face unlock works with google smartlock. It use IR sensor, not the front camera, but it isn't 3D. So it works without light, but less secure than the stock rom version.
Btw. the rom works perfectly. Thanks again.

Is possible to have the miui camera with this rom?

You are most welcome! Thanks for testing it... I'm working on a new release with some really cool features, including
Updated, hardened kernel.
Wireguard kernel module built into kernel.
Removal of non-FOSS apps/providers/services and replace with FOSS alternatives
Weather provider integration with openweathermap.
In-display fingerprint

I can try and grab the camera app and drivers from stock and package it for you, but won't be including proprietary software in this build. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Fanix
I really appreciate what you have done for Mi8 Pro. If you did not share your work here, I think I nearly sell my phone, as the MIUI is pretty trash.
Also, thanks for your progress on adding in-display finger sensor, after you done it I feel you can create one link for donation. I really hope you can keep develop on this phone and make LOS Andorid Q available in the future.
Kind regards
One of Mi8 Pro users

I flashed this rom on my phone, it works really well. And I flashed a Gapps on my phone, work well as well. I did not flash the Nanadroid on my phone, is it necessary? I just worry about it becasue you said something related to SafetyNet, ahaha. I do not know if I do not have it, is my phone still safe?
Thanks a lot again.

Any news plss

Any news?
Still others are maintaining this rom, looking forward to updating

I was willing to bring up the rest of the hardware and make this device official, but I don't have the device. Is there any interest in donating a device for such purpose?

Would love to be in a position to do that. However, I have just had my OnePlus 6T stolen, and now need my Mi 8 Pro as a daily driver. Would be happy to donate to get the fingerprint reader working on AOSP / GSI-Treble ROMs for the MI 8 Pro.

Local Upgrade for Rooted Users

Hi All. Just thought I'd quickly mention the method of updating OOS if you are rooted for anyone new to this or to anyone who's forgotten.
Disclaimer: This works for me, I've just done it. Backup your phone just in case. I'm not responsible for your actions or the consequences of your actions. You merely adopted the dark, I was born into it etc etc.
Process:
1- Disable or uninstall all Magisk modules and Overlays (Substratum etc). Otherwise you may end up in a bootloop.
2- Download the FULL version of the ROM (it will be around 2gb). Make sure it's the correct version for your device/region. (eg Global, EU, India etc).
3- Move the downloaded file to your internal storage (root directory).
4- Open the system update app under Settings -> System -> System Updates.
5- Select the cog icon at the top left and select Local Upgrade.
6- Choose the file you've downloaded and let the phone update.
7- DO NOT REBOOT!
8- Open Magisk Manager and select Install (for Magisk not Magisk Manager)
9- Select Install and on the next popup screen make sure you select Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA).
10- Reboot after Magisk has installed
11- Profit :good:

Works great as usual. Thanks.

Don't forget to disable or uninstall all magisk modules and overlays (Substratum etc). Otherwise you can end in a bootloop.

Just because the "uninstall all magisk modules" seemed to be something passed from long time ago, I tried without touching the modules at all. Booted just fine. Feel free to not disable any modules and try that way. Will save you time

First of all, I'm not spreading misinformation. I'm just telling about my experience. Any user who has a bootloop after upgrading without disabling modules can easily remove them from recovery (after flashing the one with adb enabled). This step to disable all modules is not mandatory for everyone and will make you waste time for nothing.
Second, if the argument is that because some users might get a bootloop, why not just do a data wipe every time you upgrade as well? Being overly cautious can be useful in some situations, but not here. If you get a bootloop, you can fix it easily. If you don't, you saved 10-20m from your life reinstalling everything.

This has happened to me on several different devices. I never do an update without disabling my magisk modules.

I've done this 4 times now with zero issues:
Take system update from OnePlus in settings and install as well.
Don't reboot
Reinstall magisk on main slot, then inactive slot from inside the magisk app.
Reboot
That's it.

My 2 cents. The Call Recorder module has been the culprit of the bootloop in my experience.

I had bootloop using these steps bellow:
1- Disabled all Magisk modules.
2- Downloaded the FULL version of the ROM (around 2gb).
3- Used Local Upgrade.
4- Waited and let the phone update.
5- I did not reboot
6- Opened Magisk Manager and Installed it to Inactive Slot
7- Rebooted
8- Worked everyting ok after reboot (root persisted)
9- Reenabled magisk modules
10- Rebooted
11- BOOTLOOP
12- I disabled all modules via TWRP and then system booted correctly.
13- Uninstalled all modules and installed them again.
I had the Call Recorder module so I may cause the bootloop. I think the safest method is to uninstall all modules before update and then install it again after successful update

https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Requirement
Xiaomi Mi Flash ver. =>3-14-0 - Needed to install all adb drivers Download
ADB & Fastboot tools - Could be the one built into Mi Flash tool I'll use this to make it simple
Magisk =>24.2 - This software is base of our rooting process Download
SafetyNet Fix => 2.2.1 (Zygisk) - Needed to backdoor SafetyNet fail check, at the moment it is only working method for Mi Pad 5 Download Make sure you download the Zygisk version!
Boot.img - You can download from official MIUI website full flashable rom and separate boot.img file from there, or use my if your Miui version is China 13.0.5, EEA 13.0.3, Global 13.0.1
China 13.0.5​EEA 13.0.3​Global 13.0.1​​​Installation
To make it easier, Green color mean what you need to do on Tablet, Orange on PC
Unzip Mi Flash tool
Open folder and run XiaoMiFlash.exe, if window "Driver" won't pop-up click on the Driver tab and then "Install" button and close all windows.
Connect your tablet to computer, when your tablet ask how you want use USB, choose File Transfer/Android Auto
Copy to internal storage Magisk-v****.apk, safetynet-fix-v****.zip and boot.img
Open File Manager on your tablet find a folder where you copied all files, and install Magisk
Open Magisk app, and click on Install in section Magisk, then select "Select and Path a File", after that find your boot.img file and click on it
Click "LET'S GO" button on the right side and wait until process will be finished
On your computer in the tablet's storage window, go to the file specified in the application probably /Download/magisk_patched-*****
Copy this file to a subfolder of Mi Flash on your computer, exactly to MiFlash2020-3-14-0\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Android and change the name of this file to boot.img
Open PowerShell/Windows Terminal in this folder (Hold Shift + Right click -> Open PowerShell window here)
Make sure your tablet have enabled USB debugging in Developer options Setting -> Additional settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging
Turn off your tablet, then hold down Power and VOL- until the screen lights up, then release power button, if Fastboot appears, everything went fine
Go back to your Terminal window and type to check if your computer see your tablet
Code:
./fastboot.exe devices
If you see answer "******** fastboot" it mean there is communication between PC and Tablet
Next type this command to flash patched boot image
Code:
./fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
Next type this command to reboot your device
Code:
./fastboot.exe reboot
Restart can take a longer time than normal
Open Magisk app and check status of Magisk, if you see for exaple "Installed 24.2 (24200)" everything went fine
Open Settings in right corner of app and in section App click on Hide the Magisk app then type name for hidden app, it will ask to install new app so do it
Open again Magisk app and open Settings in section Magisk enable Zygisk (Beta) and Enforce DenyList
Click on Configure DenyList than click on three dots in right corner and uncheck Show system apps
Search for all the apps in the list below and check them. It is important to click on their name to see all modules, once you have done this click on the box to activate all of them
Code:
Google
Google Assistant (I have two)
Google Pay
Google Play services
Google Play Store
After that reboot your tablet, and open again Magisk app
On the bottom click on Modules
Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it
After that reboot your device one more time
After reboot open Android Settings go to Apps and Unhide system services than find and clear all data of Google Play services and Google Play Store
Reboot tablet last time
If you have reached this point it means that everything has gone correctly, probably for about 3 hours you will still not be able to install Netflix and some banking applications but after this time everything will be back to normal, this is because Google's servers have detected that Magisk has been installed but that the application has been changed and Zygisk has been enabled so at the next check it notices that everything is Ok and gives access back.
Quick explaination what happend here:
Magisk has been installed and device is Rooted
The application has been changed and hidden
Zygisk has been activated and hidden from Google services
SafetyNet-fix was installed, which restores the functionality of SafetyNet and Widevine L1, which is blocked after the installation of Magisk and unlocked Bootloader

Hello,
(I use google translate).
Thanks for your method. Before using it, I would like to ask you a few questions.
I have already rooted a few devices (mipad 1, mi phone, htc...) with my macbook and twrp.
The adb files are already installed on my mac.
1) once the pad 5 is rooted, should I, like on my phone, patch the new boot.img file with each update?
2) Could I install the twrp application afterwards to be able to do a complete backup of the system and possibly install a version of lineageos later?
3) Is there a version of miflash unlock tool for mac os x?
4) Should I register or register on the xioami site before unlocking the boot?
Thank you in advance for your method and your answers.

Hi Nux01,
1. Unfortunately yes, TWRP isn't supported for Pad 5 yet.
2. It won't work, TWRP app is only making a request to TWRP custom recovery, until it doesn't exist you can't even install custom ROM
3. It is, but i didn't test it yet on Pad 5, and I don't know if it will work with new decides because last release is from 20.07.2020.
https://github.com/francescotescari/XiaoMiToolV2/releases
4. Yes, you need Xiaomi account, also your device has to be logged in, and registered to unlock, Xiaomi made complete guide how to do this, link is on the top of this post.

Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply.
The latest version of Mitool does not work. On the other hand, with regard to version 20.7.21, it's OK.
What does it mean: "I do not know if it will work with new decides".
And to unlock the bootloader, I have to use the Xiaomitool V2 application?
Thanks again.

I mean it's quite old release so it may not work with current unlock bootloader process on new devices like a Xiaomi 12, Xiaomi Pad 5 etc. I can't promise it won't brick your device, only confirmed method is by official Xiaomi tool.

Thank you
I'll wait a little bit before rooting my tablet.
Have a nice day.

Followed the instruction, worked like a charm. Although I had unknown "chinese sings" errors with the driver install it worked. By the way there is a newer version of the flashing tool.
Thanks for the effort of writing this down!

Hello,
I just managed to unlock the bootloader of my tablet "Pad 5".
I tried under Mac and Linux with Xiaomitool V2 without success (error 20036 and 20045).
I also tried with VirtualBox who did not recognize the tablet.
I succeeded with VMware and Windows 7 by testing different drivers and it worked.
I just root the tablet with Magisk.
On the other hand, is there the equivalent of TWRP to make a complete system backup. Apart from Titanium and MyBackup.
Thanks for your help.

thanks dude.
didn't try this yet, just wondering.
can't i just flash recovery and then flash magisk.apk?
thanks

Can i update ota to 13.0.2 after rooted? Just update and root again?

You can update, but after that you need root again but with boot.img from 13.0.2

How to get the boot.img 13.0.2? I checked the 3GB Firmware and only found vendor_boot.img. Is it the same thing?

Never mind. I got the boot.img from here: https://miuirom.org/tablets/xiaomi-pad-5

Hey there.
I have done everything above and i MIGHT have some problem. The problem with my problem is that its not really reproducable easily even for me.... Weird, I know!
Lets go into details:
Issue description: When I reboot my tablet it goes into "MIUI Recovery" window, on which I am offered to reboot the device or clean.... And when I reboot it goes back to the recovery screen again. Like a loop-hole.
....
But then if I leave it untouched for several minutes it reboots itself and launches the system properly finally...
When did it start: It first started after I performed this step:
24. Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it
25. After that reboot your device one more time
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I finally landed in the system I of course continued and performed further steps. After another reboot in step 27 the same thing happened but much, much longer.
I thought it somehow self fixed and works - once I am in the system. Right? So I did a reboot to test it. And no... recovery screen again for another 20 or so minutes until finally MIUI loaded fully.
Now I am afraid to turn off / reboot my tablet... I am afraid it might never finish booting next time.
Any ideas whats wrong and how to fix this weird and irregular behaviour?
My details:
Device: Xiaomi Pad 5 6/256gb
Original system was Chinese. I have reinstalled to Global one a version ago.
MIUI version currently running: 13.0.3(RKXMIXM)
Android version: 11 RKQ1.200826.002
Magisk version: 25.1 (25100) (32)
Magisk Modules: Universal SafetyNet Fix v2.2.1 (yes I made sure to download around Zygisk section)
Anything else I shall provide?

I also have this module installed without problems, as there is no recovey for Pad5, it is a good idea to install in magisk the module Magisk Bootloop Protector, which serves exactly to prevent what you are afraid that happen with your tablet

Root Method Using Odin Only For Rev-11/B -- Please Read Limitations On The Thread
Rev11/B Root Method For S7 Flat Can Be Found Here
Rev11/B Root Method For S7 Edge Can Be Found Here
ADB Method Oreo Or Nougat For Rev-4 Too Rev10/A -- Must Use Adb Method For Nougat Root
2023_S7_Flat_Edge _ADB_Root_Plus_Safestrap_V1.7z​
Directions:
This works for Oreo Rev4-Rev10/A Bootloader Roms or Nougat Rev4
As always there is a chance of bricking your phone
1. Download and extract 2022_S7_Edge_ADB_Root_Plus_Safestrap.7z
2. Reboot your phone to download mode
3. Inside the 2022_S7_Edge_ADB_Root_Plus_Safestrap.7z folder you will find an Odin_Firmware folder. Use Odin and flash the Eng Boot Image for your phone
4. Once phone is rebooted and connected to computer click on the cmd-here.exe and type Install_One_Click.cmd in the command window and hit enter
5. Once root is done and root bat closes your phone will reboot too stock recovery where you must wipe data
6. Once booted click on SuperSu app and update su binary if app ask then reboot
7. Don't flash any superuser zips in recovery that are not made by me or use any other SuperSu apk
Rebooting Too Safestrap Recovery
1. Reboot phone as you would too boot stock recovery Pwr + VolUp + Home. It takes up too 40 seconds too boot recovery. Ignore the mount system errors on info screen
2. Enter recovery.
3. Too leave just reboot system ignore no system installed message if you get it
4. There is screen lag issues on scrolling in recovery. There is aroma file manager that takes care of this issue while in recovery but selecting zips too install may present a problem for this you can use the kernel manager recovery flash option while phone is booted too system. Simply select zip too flash and phone will reboot too recovery and flash it and reboot back too system. Most other function in recovery should work the issue is just scrolling too select files.
5. Flashfire is installed as an alternative as well
Features:
1. SuperSu Root- Do not use any other SuperSu app. Its ok to update su binary if app ask.
2. Safetrap recovery-Still working out scrolling issue
3. Flashfire
4. Kernel tweaks CPU governor set too Conservative
5. Entropy/Swapiness set to High
6. Build Prop tweaks to combat lag
7. Bloat removed from rom
8. Knox removed from rom
Bugs:
Eng Boot Image causes lag
Safestrap Recovery has scrolling issues
Random Reboots will most likely happen
Safetynet will not pass
Battery life may not be optimal
SuperSu cannot be updated
Flashfire may need date changed too 2016 to function if it just keeps closing on you

S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V12.zip Recommended Root Zip
This zip gives you the option to install some cpu tweaks and will also. Install the entropy tweak that the SEFix app does. The tweak sets entropy to high by default I also include the SEFix app if you want to change the settings. I also set the swappiness settings to very high. If you want to change these settings you can download the speedup swap app from playstore. The above zip also removes knox and changes the fstab.qcom file to disable dm-verity on system files and remove all file encryption which makes it seem to work better and make it compatible with my no root roms that has to have this done to allow safestrap to work. Installing the above zip requires a data wipe unless you have already installed it or you are coming from my non rooted roms
S7_Oreo_Su_Binary_Only_ADB_Root.zip Alternative Root Zip
This root zip is only for oreo an only installs the su binary to the system/xbin folder giving you root privelages it has no tweaks and does not change the fstab.qcomn file to remove dm-verity and system file encryption. There is no SuperSU app installed either but you will have root privelages.
