Hi All,
To those who are interested in a safe flash to 7.1.1 from a stock B08 (or other version) rooted and unlocked BL :
First all thnx to @djkuz , @tron1, @iNaruX and all the others
1. First backup your device with TWRP. Put backup safely on SD in case you need it.
2. I did flash the latest TWRP 3.1.0.0 to my device. I used ADB Fastboot command (as you know) : fastboot flash recovery ....img
and fastboot reboot - done!
3. Make sure you have the following files on your SD :
* B10 flashable bootstack and stocksystem (from @djkuz)

* the SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224405790
This steps i performed ( maybe other methods are better but with these steps i had no problems at all)
4. boot into TWRP
5. i did not WIPE anything (to keep my Apex launcher and all my settings and apps)
6. flash B10 bootstack and then system
7. reboot system - you will have the 'unlock system boot sreen' (no problem) - after 5 sec it will boot - all your apps are relaunched - you now have B10 on your device (and all of your apps and settings are the same)
8. reboot again in TWRP - flash 7.0 bootstack and system - flash also the SU2.79 before reboot - reboot system - your device reboots twice on logo - apps are being updated - you will boot ok and you have 7.0 !
9. reboot again into TWRP and flash 7.1.1 - flash SU2.79 again ( to be sure ) - reboot system - you have a clean boot - in my case the system asked with what launcher (APEX in my case) i had to start (choose yours) - you now have 7.1.1
10. make TWRP backup when needed
11 IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE TO B02 : use this methode https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-a2017g-install-b02-root-fb-t3590852
EDIT : when you want to get rid of the bootscreen which states that you have an unlocked bootloader, follow this procedure (very easy )
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71444728&postcount=496
So far i'm having no issues. Installing apps etc is much more fluent and quick - switching between apps is faster - gps and other stuff working like a charm (so far)

ENJOY !

I'm on stock B29, rooted, unlocked bootloader.
Been avoiding updates, but this looks promising to keep root.
Think it will work for me? Forgot to mention I have 3.0.4 twrp

Don't know exactly.
For G users the latest update before 7.0 was the B10. Therefore B10 is the necessary flash before G users can flash N
As long as you keep TWRP running ( as far as i know do not wipe system etc...therefore i mentioned earlier to not wipe anything) and your latest backup, you can always restore it.
Hmm... I did this a week ago and forgot to flash SuperSU. Messed up big time... Axon7tool gives the what() error, but people say that even if it successfully flashes the recovery, the stock recovery remains there.
So I need the inverse process... any idea how?

unplug usb when you give command to flash twrp recovery, otherwise it always reflashes stock recovery....
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply! I'll have to figure out how to make axon7tool work now. Much appreciated
Dear raystef66!
I'm on Resurrection Remix now-2017G (it is 7.1.1 based).I would like to have a stock 7.1.1.Can i just do the steps in your post 1,without flash b10, just flash
7.1.1 stock bootstack, system and Super SU?Would it working solution, to go from Resurrection Remix to stock 7.1.1 on 2017g?And will be twrp still prsent after those steps?

IMO you have to flash b10 too. Would do no harm though as long as you don't fully wipe system to keep twrp. As long as you keep a backup of twrp you can always go back. In worst case you have to flash twrp again in edl axon7tool.
@ValVK I flashed B03, then B08, then B10, and THEN B01, like any normal update. That because I don't know if B10 is only an incremental update
But after you flash the stock system, remember to root! You'll lose TWRP otherwise
Thanks all for responces! If i will go that way-flash in Twrp b08, then b10 and then Nuga, what should i wipe first in Twrp-all inclusive System, or just Factory reset? And if i will go that way, should my Twrp still intakt? (I would like avoid to Flash Twrp again, seems bit risky for me).
I had the official bootloader unlock but it broke the com.android.phone process on 7.1.1.
They are working on getting it fixed and once fixed will make the root publicly avialble.
The official root works on b10 marshmallow and is very easy to install.
@ValVK o sorry, I only flashed B03 :silly:
You should flash B03 THEN update via the native sdcard update on mifavor

I suggest you wait for the 7.1.1 OTA update when you're not rooted etc.
I flashed through twrp the package made by tron1 for android 7.1.1 , the bootstack and supersu to make sure i have root install at the first boot but for some reason supersu framework gets deleted. I tried flashing supersu package multiple times and it gets deleted after boot up . How could i fix this ?

Did you follow my steps ? From which version did you come ? Were you already rooted....
Perhaps flash SU 2.79 (!) in edl mode and when it is resetting for a reboot, unplug your phone before it can reboot. You get a black screen. Just press Vol+/Power and when you see ZTE logo you release. Normaly you should/can enter TWRP.
But normaly my guide should work if you were rooted, BL unlocked and on stock ROM (B08 or earlier). I do not know which steps you already performed so it's just gessing.
What you guys think??
I want to know if I update my phone to this version, can I continue using xposed
Hello, can someone create TWRP files from the new B02 image?

@raystef66
I have a question:
Can step 8) be skipped? (flash 7.0=A2017GV1.1.0B01 bootstack and system, flash SU2.79).
Since in step 9) we will flash immediately 7.1.1B01=A2017GV1.2.0B01 bootstack and system, and flash SU2.79.
I guess step 8) is harmless, but not necessary. Is it true? Or are there other reasons for this?
Also maybe you could at end of this guide add a link to your another guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-a2017g-install-b02-root-fb-t3590852
which continues the upgrade to 7.1.1B02=A2017GV1.2.0B02 keeping TWRP, unlock, fastboot and root?
Thank you.

IMO step 8 can not be skipped due to the fact you have to have 7.0 first. Could be wrong, but then again, it only last for a minute or so
I will ad the link to upgrade B01 to B02.
Thnx !
ps : did you get B02 with my method ? Pls post on thread if succeeded - thnx !
Hi,
I'm a happy new owner of the redmi note 4 and I've already unlocked the bootloader.
I would like to use google camera, and eventually adblock.
I've seen there are various way to
- install bootloaders (and it seems there are also various boatloaders)
- root the phone
- enable camera2 api, with and without root
- ...
Actually I like to keep the stock rom and the phone as vanilla as possible, as I've read there are redundant issue with custom rom. I also do like the idea of being able to update the phone "normally", which seems to be what you call OTA update . Also, I've seen that some app may not work if some verification fails ?
So basically the question could you explain me a bit the broad picture and what would you recommend ?
Thank's
PS : sorry I'm not super acurate, I rooted my LG G2 years ago and things seems to have evolved a lot since then.

So, you want root and GCam working on your MIUI without breaking OTA updates, is that right?
• Unlock bootloader, flash RedWolf recovery then through Redwolf recovery flash LazyFlasher.
• In Redwolf enable OTA survival.
• Flash Magisk through recovery for root.
• For GCam to work, you need to enable Camera2API in your build.prop. This can be done through a simple Magisk module too. But I must warn you enabling Camera2API on MIUI might break some functionalities of your MIUI stock camera app.
I am using pixel experience 8.1 oreo rom in my redmi notr 4.and i have also install google canera mod.mgcmod5.i have done all the settings but ehen i am trying to take puctures its force closing and lagging..need solution..

If RedWolf succeeds OTA survival, then there is no need. But after OTA if RedWolf is replaced by stock recovery, then yes you'll have to flash everything once again. Refer RedWolf thread for more details on OTA survival.

Sounds right and great, thank's !
Two question.
- I've read somewhere that some custom recovery and/or root may cause some app to fail, notably banking app.
Well I used to use such app on my rooted G2 , but will it remain posible after folowing the process you suggest above ?
about redwolf, there is quite a lot of explainations in theses two links 1 and 2, however I can figure out how to install redwolf ?! what am I suppose to do with the .iso image available for download ? isn't there a step by step install guide somewhere ?
Thank's

Use Magisk for root and once Magisk is installed enable Magisk hide for the banking app, this will hide root from that particular app.
Installing a custom recovery like redwolf :
1. Unlock your phone's bootloader.
2. Download the recovery image file, rename it to "recovery.img" and place in a folder on your computer. Make sure you have working ADB and fastboot drivers installed on this computer.
3. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (Volume Down + Power button)
4. Open command prompt in the folder containing the downloaded recovery. (Shift + Mouse right click)
5. Type the below command into the command prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once inside recovery flash ROM, Magisk, if ROM is MiUI flash lazyflasher too, or phone won't boot. If custom ROM ignore lazyflasher and flash GApps instead.
If recovery installation instructions confuse you there are infinite number of YouTube videos that will help you.

Thank's again , that's awesome!
Maybe a few more question
FIRST
at step 2) how do I make sure I have a working ADB and Fastboot drivers ?
As far as I understand, fastboot drivers should already be installed ; however I suspect ADB not to be installed.
Indeed, I've already unlocked the bootloader with this tutorial, and I can confirm the phone is unlocked from settings > more settings > developper options > Mi locking status.
So basically I've already installed MiUSBDrivers and ran miflashunlock. There are fastboot.exe, fastboot_unlock.exe and AdbWinApi.dll files in the miflash_unlock folder I downloaded and used to unlock, but I haven't used any of these later 3 files.
I have found this post to install ADB
SECOND
at step 4), the best would be to place the recovery image downladed from here into the folder containing ADB downloaded just above right ?
Then, go on with step 5)
THIRD
If everything went well, my phone is supposed to reboot in redwolf recovery, ok.
but whart do you mean by "Once inside recovery flash ROM" ?
Why am I suposed to flash a rom ?
To my understanding, I already have a rom, miui, and do not want to change for the moment.
Should I download the "Full Rom" from here, or the "Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File" rom from here ? If so, what souhld I do with the rom; where sould I place it, on the computer, on the phone ?
Or do I need to flash ROM only if I want to change/upgrade my rom ?
FOURTH
To flash Magisk and Lazyflasher.
I understood that redwolf recovery comes with Magisk, so I assume I'll only have to go to "install" tab of redwolf, and I'll find the Magisk file to flash.
Ok what about Lazyflasher ? is it also provided with redwolf ?
Or should I download it ? and if so where should I place the file ?
FIFTH (and last)
I assume once installed from recovery, Magisk will show himself as an app/icon on the "desktop", and I'll be able to selectively enable Magisk hide for the banking app.
Thank's again for your help.
Sorry if I have too many questions, I'm a little rusted, and prefer having a comprehensive picture of the porcess before jumping into it, and avoid one more post entitled helpppp pleeeeeese I bricked my phone

ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Looks like you don't have ADB/Fastboot installed system wide. Although it is completely fine to use adb/fastboot in a folder, installing it system wide is much more convenient because you can open a command window in any folder and execute ADB/Fastboot commands. [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979”]Here's the link[/URL] to download the system wide installer. Install it and REBOOT your PC.
Flashing RedWolf
Once drivers are installed and PC rebooted, connect phone in Fastboot mode and follow my previous instructions. Also now you can open command prompt in any folder and execute the commands since ADB/Fastboot is installed system wide.
Flashing ROM
Sorry if I confused you there in the previous post. If you wish to stick with your current MIUI ROM then you don't need to flash any ROM file.
Flashing Lazyflasher
You MUST flash lazyflasher since you want to stay with MIUI. If you install a custom recovery on MIUI without flashing lazyflasher, the phone will not boot and will be stuck at the MI logo. I've attached the file.
Flashing Magisk
Flash Magisk after lazyflasher. You may download the latest package from Magisk thread or use RedWolf's built in Magisk package as you said and update it later through the Magisk manager app. And yes, you can select which apps can be Magisk hidden.

ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Looks like you don't have ADB/Fastboot installed system wide. Although it is completely fine to use adb/fastboot in a folder, installing it system wide is much more convenient because you can open a command window in any folder and execute ADB/Fastboot commands. [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979”]Here's the link[/URL] to download the system wide installer. Install it and REBOOT your PC.
Flashing RedWolf
Once drivers are installed and PC rebooted, connect phone in Fastboot mode and follow my previous instructions. Also now you can open command prompt in any folder and execute the commands since ADB/Fastboot is installed system wide.

Awesome !
Great to know that I should fisrt flash lazyflasher and then magisk.
Stupid, probably last question
Should I do everything up to and incliding flashing lazyflsher, rebot normally, and then reboot again in redwolf and flash magisk ?

Thanks

While it can all be flashed at one go, I suggest you to flash LF and once boot your device successfully and reboot to redwolf and flash Magisk afterwards.

Excellent !
so
- I did installed redwolf recovery - changed settings as advised here
- flashed lazyflasher
- reboot -> wokrs I'm back on miui
- reboot in redwolf and flashed magisk
- reboot into android, installed rootchek, I'm rooted
- hide magisk from magisk manager for my apps --> working
Everything works
Further questions :
- Am I suppose to clean cache at some stage ? I can still do it now ?
- Is there some recomended module for magisk ? (not sure what they are for)
- as for everything else, I've seen many options to enable camera2api. Which one would you recomend ? is "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" the only needed change or this treat rises something this
- is there a recomended version/release of google camera to use with miui9 global, latest update (not developper) (I've seen various reported issues depending on version/release)
- any other must/nice/interesting hacks to fully enjoy this phone ?
- any security recomendation ? (re-locking the bootloader ? instally some utilities... ?)
thanks
after that, I'll be done

Clean cache not required.
Magisk modules are MODs for your system but they are done without tampering your system. (Systemless MODs).
Try Dolby atmos ZTE Axon 7 audio MOD module, YouTube vanced module (100% Adfree, background play)..etc
Use Arnova's GCam.
Never ever relock bootloader with a custom recovery or custom ROM. Else irreversible brick.
I've repeated too much stuff that has been posted in the forum already, if you have any further doubts search the forum or use Google.
Flash through redwolf the attached file to enable camera2api. If you want to uninstall it later go to magisk manager and delete it.
Cheers.

Hi dude
I'm almost done but back to square 0, with blinking black screen at boot !
No crisis, I can still go to redwolf recovery, as well as fastboot.
How it happend ?
In magisk manager (on miui) I checked what modules were available in the download panel, and tried "Google Pixel 2 Experience" or something similar.
On reboot, the mi logo is displayed, then I have a black screen blinking on and off, without mi logo, just black, on and off
I thus wanted to unistal the mod with magisk module uninstaller, but the install fails and return that "magisk is not installed" and "magisk is required for this mod"
So I obviously couldn't try to uninstall the supposed failing module
I thus rebooted in redwold and installed magisk from redwolf (the included release), things went well
However, I still cant install magisk module uninstaller, getting the same error as above.
I took my chance and try to re-install magisk from the zip filed I downloaded, the install process was successfull, but I still can't install magisk mod uninstaller, and the black screen issue persist.
Lastly, I took my chance and try to re-install lazy flasher, the install process was successfull, but the black-screen issue persist.
To be honest, I'm a bit sctuck now.
What may be the right procedure to solve this problem ?
Am I screwed and do I have to reflash a whole rom ?
If so Should I do it from redwolf, and how ?
Or should I do it from the pc with fastboot, and how ?
Thanks for your directions
ps: i was interested by pixel 2 experience module as at it was written that it was compatible with mido and provides camera2api, which might have been a nice combo.
ps 2 : I also did installed dolby as you suggested, it worked but the demo crashed to app
ps 3 : I also did installed youtube vaccant, but I couldn't see any new app and my original youtube still had add and couldn't play in the back... not sure it reveals something on the effectiveness of magisk...

About maintaing root with an OTA. I assume you are talking about installing it via TWRP right? And when you say don't reboot (step 3) you mean after installing the OTA right? Also the option on step 5 will it be availble in the TWRP when I will try to flask magisk?
Thanks a lot

The process mentioned in OP doesn't require TWRP, the option 5 will be available in the magisk manager itself!
If you're a advanced user and have flashed TWRP you do not need to follow this method, just flash the magisk zip and you're ready to go!
Regards,
acervenky
Oh ok thanks alot!! Last thing should I reboot after installing the OTA via TWRP in order to flash the magisk or not as you mention in your method/guide? If this is off topic sorry

Once you install the OTA and reboot you will lose TWRP as it will be replaced by the stock recovery!
Simply flash TWRP back and flash the magisk zip and you should be good to go!

Yes you'll lose your data during the bootloader unlock process, best way would be to backup all of your data on your PC first.
The only precaution is that you should be on Indian Firmware 10.3.3!

Great work! I cannot fully install magisk as I get bootloop everytime I install the zip in the manager (then have to wipe data etc). Im assuming this way I can say goodbye to TWRP and have a fully functional magisk
However, this would also work on chinese phone flashed with Indian/Global ROM yes?
Last updated May 2020
Keeping it short. This is a simple way to root your device. You will need a computer and a data cable for this.
Objectives :
Have root using Magisk
Be able to install OTA from the settings without bootloops
Avoid boot loop
Very important :
This will work with ANY Xiaomi phone, and should work with ANY ANDROID phone as well. The difference between phones would be in where you can get your boot image from.
Your phone has to have an unlocked bootloader
Your phone has to have stock recovery. TWRP WILL cause bootloop for root and/or OTA updates from system.
I like to have root with magisk and don't want to install TWRP because I want to be able to install OTA from system without boot loops. This guide will help you achieve this with ease.
Steps:
Download the ROM full zip file. This could be the ROM ALREADY installed on your phone or you are updating your phone to it. Here is a video of one way to get your ROM file.
https://youtu.be/KsxHial1v1U
Open the file and extract "boot.img" on your phone or Computer.
Move the boot.img file to your phone
Download and install the latest Magisk official manager app from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.4.0/MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk
Open Magisk manager and click install then "select and patch a file" like in this video
https://youtu.be/USHcCMYlexM
Copy the Patched image from the download folder to your computer adb/fastboot folder
Reboot your phone into fastboot (press and hold power and vol down) and connect it to the computer
Flash that patches image file using fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open Magisk manager and complete the installation if needed. The app will prompt you for action.
Enjoy
Update May 2020
Hello again,
Sorry for being away for so long. Here are some of the things I have noticed people are confused with and need to make them clear:
This method works for ANY Android phone. As long as you have the Correct boot.img and can unlock the bootloader
MAKE SURE 100% you have the correct boot.img file for your CURRENT ROM
MAKE 100% SURE, the boot.img file you get from the FULL ROM zip file, not an OTA update zip file
Make sure you check the date and time of the "magisk_patched.img" file to make sure that is the one you made
Make sure you use the LATEST magisk manager
Make sure you open magisk after flashing the magisk_patched.img as boot image. Magisk manager will tell you if there is another step needed, just click yes and it will be done in seconds
Make sure to enable "Hide Magisk" to allow you to have your BANK apps working as well as security checks
If any app you use gives you an error "YOU ARE Rooted bla bla bla" Use magisk manager to hide the root for this specific app (in the settings)
That's all I can remember, good luck

@Kiwironic followed your guide and worked very well, although I had to wipe data through the stock recovery to get the phone to boot, I believe that's just how newer Xiaomi phones work. I do have one question though, now that I'm rooted with stock recovery, would I be able to install OTA updates? I'm assuming I would of course lose root and have to redo the process from scratch if that's the case.

I had root on MIUI10 and updated the ROM to MIUI11 then did my root again the way mentioned and did NOT have to wipe. You can get OTA anyway, it will try the update first, it will fail, then it download and install a full ROM zip automatically. You have to wait for it to do that twice, that's all. The first boot after the update takes some time.
@Kiwironic First, thank you so your simple guide!
Can this cause bootloop on my device? If yes, can I simply flash the original boot.img to boot without any data loss?
Also another question: my device is rootless and bootloader unlocked, so my Google Pay doesn't work. When installing Magisk it goes back to work immediately or I have to do something to work?

If you flash the full rom, chances of bootloop is minimal. And should have stock experience except for being unlocked.
I got bootloop, using indian global V11.0.2.0.
After flashing patched boot, it gets bootloop recovery, only way is to wipe all data and reboot
After booting up and opeing magisk it shows a recommendation to install some ZIP
Accepting the recommendation results in bootloop,
Rejecting the recommendation and trying to Install > Direct Install results in bootloop as well

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP? Which version of Magisk are you using?
I have patched my boot stock image, installed full ROM, then flashed the patched boot image. Magisk did not show any recommendation installation.
There are a few guides online on how to deal with Magisk Bootloop without the need to wipe data.

There are a few guides online on how to deal with Magisk Bootloop without the need to wipe data.

TWRP 3.3.1-8, magisk 20.1
Patching boot image with magisk wasn't a problem. The Superuser itself works normally, module doesn't. The magisk manager suggested to download additional files for the magisk to be working properly.
I'm on MIUI 11.0.1 Global
Was TWRP the cause in the fist place?

On first installation MM asks to download what it needs e.g. to verify SafetyNet. Allow and there is no problem about. TWRP is generally not needed to install Magisk. Things are documented in Magisk guides

Yes, as the title suggests "without TWRP". The reason is, you cannot install OTA and magisk easily without using the stock recovery. Any attempt to update OTA or use any recovery script on the phone will result in a boot loop.
The solution to get out of the boot loop is simple. Actually a couple of solutions.
One, flash your stock recovery, or
Two, flash a full ROM that includes the stock recovery.
No need to wipe data
That's the only reason I made this post and the other about OTA on root. I don't like to use TWRP because I want OTA install without boot loop. At the same time I want root. Hence the solutions I provided

I've tried flashing magisk via recovery and didn't work, the same bootloop. Here's the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-miui-11-v11-0-1-0-pfjmixm-rooted-t3997299
I thought this might be a working alternative.
Gotta try installing magisk with stock recovery then, and if it still didn't work, well, more research for me..

You have to understand the requirements :
- stock recovery
- install magisk manager app
- patch the boot image for your stock ROM (same version on your phone)
- flash that Patched boot image.
- reboot
- done, that's magisk installed
