I have seen so many methods to root it but i can decide which is best. i am looking for always get miui updates and hope the root doesn´t affect that. So i hope you can say me the best twrp installing and rooting method that allow me to install miui updates. Also if you can provide me the best method to install gcam port i would be very thankfull. Thanks in advance
Unlock bootloader. Flash orange fox twrp that allows incremental miui ota updates. Flash magisk. Profit.
Now you have custom recovery, root and updates.

Thanks for replying, the only thing i have to do is just flash that recovery?. Also, what additional steps do i have to follow in order to instal updates, or just tap on "reboot" on update app?

if at all you are going to install a custom recovery, theres no point of sticking to miui when a lot of aosp are available. and possibly the aosp custom roms provide more support to these mods/apps

I am new to xda so apologies for simple question. I am currently running MIUI 8 Global Beta 6.7.21
Can I install a custom rom in place of this? If so what is the easiest method?
Thanks
Yes, you can install different ROM's. Search up WinDroid on XDA, download it, install TWRP 3 and pick out whichever ROM you prefer.

First, you need to root your phone, try King Root or installing the Chinese ROM which comes with built-in root, you can do this from the updater without needing root.
Then install Flashify from the play store and dowload TWRP recovery for Redmi Note 2 from this forum. Flash the recovery with the Flashify app, it's pretty straightforward.
Then you just need to download your custom ROM of choice and reboot to the recovery. Before flashing a custom ROM, backup is recommended. Just follow the instructions given in the ROM topic and you're good to go.

Hi guys
Ive just purchased the great kenzo last week
I just wanted to know how do i root my phone
It has 8.0.5.0
I wanted to know is there a way to do this so that i dont lose warranty
Also as i understand i will have to unlock bootloader to do this and for that i will have to place a request with xiaomi thus voiding my warranty
So is it possible to just root and not void warranty
Also if there are any options to install custom roms as well without losing warranty
Any help will be appreciated guys
I am from India
Anybody??
Requesting a bootloader unlock will not void your warranty
It is easiest done in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP recovery
3. Flash SuperSU to root.

You DO NOT have to unlock your bootloader to flash twrp and then root your phone. Please see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294/page8
It worked very well for me.

I think it will only work reliably on a Marshmallow based rom. So you will need to flash the latest global beta in edl mode.

Excellent work mate
Didnt expect such a quick reply, thnx
Just so that I've got this right..
I install this via edl using miui flash tool and changing the recovery to twrp in the package before installing
And then either i can root that rom or install any other rom
I do not have to unlock bootloader to do this right or install another rom following this?
What recovery would u suggest
Thanks again for ur help mate:good:

I would just flash global rom, unlock bootloader and then you can flash recovery via adb. It's easier.
Just use standard TWRP or Alka.

I used Zcx twrp. It can read the encrypted data partition in Marshmallow and also disable dm-verity in the locked bootloader. You must boot into recovery immediately after flashing the ROM and before booting into MIUI or twrp will be over written.
I have not flashed other ROMs, but I did root MIUI by flashing SuperSU from twrp without any problems.

Zcx twrp has SuperSU included that you can flash. That worked for me on 6.9.29. I have since upgraded to 6.10.13. You should check out the Zcx twrp thread on the guides forum.

Hey buddy
Please help me with this
I tried reverting back to stable build from CM 13
I used edl to flash stable build but when i do it and boot the rom i don't have network.
But when i flash the dev build i do have network.
I remember restoring the modem in dev build from twrp backup got the network up and running earlier when i reverted back to dev build from cm
But i cannot do that for the stable build coz of locked bootloader and no twrp
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong

From what I've read, that is a general problem when you revert from a MIUI mm based ROM to a lollipop ROM. There are several threads on how to solve the problem.
Good luck.

I think you'll have to search for the threads here or on the MIUI forums. I don't remember the full procedure, but I think it involves flashing an older version of the developer ROM before flashing the stable ROM. I have not done it myself. Xiaomi even warns in the MIUI forums that reverting to the stable Lollipop ROM from the LL developer ROM is difficult.
Good luck.

Is there any custom ROM which provides incremental OTA updates just like OEMs??
Just asking?

As of now, not really [even though cardinal aosp says that they push updates via ota, but newer builds always need a clean flash]. But i guess lineage os 15.1 can get official in 2 or 3 months and lets just keep our fingers crossed for resurrection remix oreo.

Yes you can flash redwolf twrp recovery it provides Miui Ota updates on a custom recovery. I am currently using it and it's working absolutely fine. Search redwolf recovery on Google.
You can use mookee rom...they provide incremental updates of generally 20-50mb almost daily...bt u have to be a paid user... otherwise to get incremental ota zip...you have to download it from their website which is free...its of the same size i.e. 20-50mb only or you can also download the full zip package like other roms too...

Mokee and omni official.

Been looking for the same too. So sad seing we got so, so many custom rom but none support incremental ota. Even omni official which should support it doesn't have it yet.
Getting update everyday wouldn't be a problem anymore if we have incremental ota. Now need to download 500mb full rom every time ?

Hi,
Can you help me with the details on how do you perform incremental OTA with RedWolf? I can't get it done no matter what I try.
Thanks.
Greetings!
Is there any reliable way to install a custom recovery + root on this rom (Global 10.0.2.0 OEGMIFH)?
If not possible, can I install a custom rom? I've heard about some problems regarding roll backs...
Thank you in advance for your time

With unlocked bootloader you can install them following the thread indicated before but with locked one it´s not possible by now; it´s needed that some developer can inject root and disable integrity check from ramdisk to can flash a rooted boot through edl but I didn´t find no one that knows how to do it yet.
for some time I have been using the xiaomi.eu rom, and I asked myself.
is it better to install a stock rom and then put a magisk in it or install a costum rom? if it is the second choice which one are you using?

Going custom miui rom (xiaomi.eu) is the best way to enjoy MIUI. You get all the MIUI china rom goodies without the bloatware and ads.

I use official global rom 11.0.1 android 10.
Rooted with magisc..
Got dolby atmos and Viper4android, a theme mod from one ui and works like a charm no reason to install any custom Rom.
See attachments ?
@derrekgamer what do you do when you get an OTA update? need to root again?
PS update your thread with one UI howto, it looks good!
Thanks!

Hello. Yes i receive ota update. A week ago Miui 11. 0.3.0 has arrived..
To do that ota update and keep my system up to date without losing any data im using pitch black recovery.. That twrp supports miui ota update and can bypass the xiaomi security. Is the only twrp who can do that.. And it's very cool.when i get ota update I press only the install button and the phone is rebooting and goes in to the twrp recovery and installs the update without any problem.. Before flash twrp says :
miui encryption : yes
Decrypted successfully
Installing ota update
Update successfully
Applying encryption..
Done.
Something like that and my phone works. I can flash also full recovery miui Rom global (2.4 GB size) using the same twrp.. So I don't need even a pc to reflash the hole phone system again..
Link to the twrp :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...covery-mi-8-lite-v2-9-0-base-twrp-v3-t4000857
The best.. Must read and see the article..
About the theme.. I asked on the Mi 8 lite answer and questions forum And it looks like no one wants/need A theme [ONE UI], because no answers So no reason do upload or do something.
