Updating MIUI without having DFE installed - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

I've seen guides on how to update rooted MIUI, but all of them seem to assume you have disable forced encryption installed. How do I do it without having DFE installed (and I don't really want to)? Currently I have TWRP with encryption support and magisk installed .

Oreo stock root

It seems it is impossible to get root with magisk on latest Oreo stock. Maybe someone found solution?
I asked and I answer =)
To get the root it is required to
- install latest TWRP (current version twrp-3.2.1-0)
- reboot to TWRP
- install 16.2 or higher magisk, link for 16.2
- install f2fs bug workaround
- reboot system
- install magisk Manager
- enjoy your root =)

its not work for me:crying:
Try to follow this guide then: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-how-to-magisk-root-xposed-oreo-8-t3743273
But use latest magisk beta instead of suggested 15.3.
And keep in mind that it is possible to easily restore working state with magisk uninstaller.
Do you have any errors during magisk or workaround installation in twrp console?

Is there a way to remove encryption already?
Remove root?
Is it possible to remove root and the TWRP without hard reset? Does anyone already have the original recovery of Oreo?

There is magisk uninstaller provided in official thread.
To remove twrp you just need to flush original recovery via fastboot
Hello guys, can I have some advice on whether I should install this latest Oreo update on my moto z, how is the battery doing on this update? And overall experience?
@dolar4ik
i reflash the stock oreo ROM,then flash TWRP,flash magisk,flash f2fs bug workaround, stuck at bootloader logo,how can i do it??
Flash the Magisk uninstaller, reboot to recovery (you have this option in TWRP) and flash again only the Magisk 16.3 (without the f2fs bug workaround). This worked for me two days ago.
Today I updated to the latest Magisk 16.4 without any problems.

This is right.
I re-flashed my phone using the OPL27.76-51 firmware. Now, no way to install Magisk (old, new, any version).
The solution, I restored a TWRP backup made at the first bootloader unlock (when the ROM was updated only using OTAs, not flashed). Immediately I was able to install Magisk 16.4 - without any F2FS workaround.
HERE is my TWRP backup containing the partitions: Boot, Data & System. Hope it helps!

Uninstall magisk with it's own uninstaller.
I installed Magisk on the full Oreo release and everything is working.
I did make a "less bloat, less bs" zip version but I doubt it would make a change.
If you guys want, I can upload it when I get home.

Just got myself a hand me down Moto z.
My friend who gave it to me hasn't touch the phone for a year.
So i started with 6.0 and after multiple updates, now i am on Oreo.
Since i have done ota from Marshmallow, would this method work?
Bootloader was never unlocked.
thanks for any input

how to root the device by magisk?

In next 2 weeks my mi pad 4 LTE will come to me.
Could you tell me, how to root it by magisk?
1) unlock it by xiaomi (360 hours waiting)
2) flash twrp
3) flash magisk
4) reboot
That is all I need to do to get a root ?)

yes
Usually you don't even have to flash TWRP recovery if you want to keep original recovery, you can just boot it with "fastboot boot twrp.img".
Just a FYI, the latest magisk 17 has not been working for me. Magisk 16 works just fine.
I am on the xiaomi.eu rom
I'm on latest xiaomi.eu and Magisk 17.1 is working fine

@簡_OvO
On what Rom you have this problem with Magisk ?
I use Mi Pad 4 LTE and Magisk 17.1 on AOSP 8.1_v25 and everything works as it should.
Magisk it has nothing to do with Modem/Baseband he patching Kernel.
After using Magisk uninstaller or restore stock Kernel works for you LTE ?

I use MIUI10.I cannot understand why.But after I flash magisk again,LTE works well.
Could you please explain where I find the mipad 4 boot image when using this method to patch it?
When choosing the option in magisk manager to patch boot image I have to search for the original boot image to patch as the app doesn't point staight to it...
Many thanks
@Tysovwik, I see you want keep miui. You have to block overwriting recovery by original one. I have seen option for it in twrp, but i have not tested it. The same you can have if you use special zip package.
Twrp has second option for auto install magisk 17.1, but i installed it from zip file (twrp labeled 20.12.2018 can have 18.0)
is this the best way to Root a Mi Pad 4 LTE ?

Does anyone know if I still have to do step (1) ? or how that is done ?
Some noobie questions.
I already have TWRP installed in my Mi pad 4, and want to keep my original MIUI rom
To install Magisk what should I do next?
Just flash magisk from twrp?
Do I need to flash no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip?
Select any option of wipe in twrp before flashing Magisk?
If I get a bootloop can I just use Magisk unistaller?

I would wipe cache /dalvik cache before and wipe cache again after flashing. But yeah, just flash the magisk zip. You check in the settings under security if your device is encrypted, which I'm guessing it probably is already. In which case there's no need to flash no verify encrypt zip. Unless you want to have no encryption. In which case you'll have to start all over, complete format in twrp then flash magisk and no encrypt zip before first boot.
If you want to stay encrypted (assuming you are already), just flash magisk. I haven't done it in a while! So not sure if magisk manager will be installed with zip flash, if it's not there when you boot to system, just download and install latest magisk manager. You can always then download a root checker app from playstore to be sure all went well.
Good luck dude

How to upgrade rooted Mi Pad 4

I have a Mi Pad 4. I unlocked bootloader and rooted with Magisk. I did not flash TWRP, so stock recovery is available. MIUI 9.6.26 stock Chinese ROM was pre-installed when I purchased this tablet. I received MIUI 10.2.1 upgrade from OTA. I choose to download and install this update. Tablet downloaded 500 MB OTA upgrade file. Asked me to reboot tablet. I accepted, tablet rebooted and started to upgrade but upgrade failed. No explanation was written.
What is the reason of failed upgrade. Is it because Magisk? Should I uninstall Magisk to upgrade to MIUI 10.2.1? Can I install Magisk again to MIUI 10.2.1?
You should unroot & restore(boot=kernel) with Magisk Manager. It can be done with uninstall option in Magisk Man.

Thanks for reply. Can I install Magisk to MIUI 10.2.1 ?
I don't have Miui. You should look at en.miui.com - forum.

What does this mean?

"This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab."
Saw this on official twrp download page.I'm on latest global stable miui with stock everything and rooted with magisk.should i be concerned before flashing the official twrp recovery on stock kernel?
if you are flashing MIUI From twrp, and DON"T wana ROOT then yes you should never allow system modification because then device will never boot in to system due to DM-Verity. However if you are rooting yoru device, try reading Magisk Lines, It always patch fstab and disable Dm-verity, once its disabled; /system parition permisions wont be verified on boot. So when you boot in to twrp and you know you are going to flash Magisk, you can ALLOW SYSTEM MODIFICATION swip
on Custom Roms it doesn't matter, because twrp never ask such question. "allow system modification" is only limited to StockRoms

DFE: Disable Forced Encryption (version numbers? treble?)

I successfully followed a guide to rooting my phone using TWRP, DisableForceEncryption (DFE), and Magisk. I now want to flash the latest (stock) ROM and re-apply DFE.
But there seem to be many versions of DFE available, some with/without version numbers, and some with/without the word "treble". And all are anonymous uploads on file-locker sites... :-/
What does "treble" mean? Does the DFE version number correspond to the Magisk version? I couldn't find a DEF v20 anywhere...
Who produces DFE -- is there an official website/source for the latest version(s)?
Cheers
For the latest MIUI Stock Rom you don't need dfe.

Thanks. So, I can just just flash the latest ROM in TWRP, and... it won't overwrite TWRP, or lose root access, or cause any boot/encryption problems...?
Presumably I'd need to re-flash Magisk (after flashing the ROM) to retain root access...?
Will the phone be re-encrypted after updating to the latest stock ROM?

Which version is at the moment installed?
IF by latest stockrom you mean miui 10.3.8 then when i flashed the vendor firmware and didnt flash dfe, i was locked out and I lost all the data!
In Miui Roms firmware and vendor are always integrated. There is IMHO no reason to flash only the vendor.

Yes -- all the guides I've read say that, having installed a custom recovery to root the device, all subsequent ROM updates need to have DFE (or some similar software) applied in order to prevent a boot-loop. This article gives a lot of information, although most of it goes over my head.

First backup your data
Flash 10.3.8.0 dirty in twrp
wipe cache, dalvik cache in twrp
reboot the device (not rooted)
reboot into twrp and flash magisk 19.3 (i don´t know if the newer Versions will work with MIUI Rom)
reboot into system
thats it
the other guy flashed the vendor partition only, without a reason in miui and ran into encryption.
Here is a very good site "Globe Rom" https://mi-globe.com/miui-firmware-rom-builder-features/65/
Click on MIUI 9.6.27 and Change to MIUI 10.3.8.0 then create your own rom with including Magisk and other nice tools.
You can flash the Globe Rom according to the same instructions as above and Magisk is after the first reeboot
immediately active.

Aha! It works! :laugh: Thank you so much! :victory:
So... now I've "disabled forced encryption", do I ever need to worry about it again? Can I flash a new version of TWRP, or use a custom ROM and just use Magisk to re-root?

If you flash Miui-Roms than no dfe needed.
If you flash a custom rom you should flash dfe.

Settings -> "Security status" just shows:
Find device -- Off
Security update -- 2019-09-01
Google Play Protect > (Looks fine / No harmful apps found)
"Additional settings" -> Privacy -> "Encrypted & credentials" shows as "Encrypted".
However, the sub-option "Encrypt device using lock screen password" is turned off.
So just remember that if you want to move to another custom ROM you're going to have to format data. You're system is encrypted.
