Please read the instructions in the first post of the LOS thread. Every developer takes care and spends time writing it and still half of us don't read it.

Hi. Yes you can!!
I'm newbie here, but I followed this method root-twrp-sony-xperia-m4-aqua and rooted my e2353. Also I ignored the flashing TWRP steps. Hope you can root without any trouble

If you need twrp and you don't want to install it, you can boot it without flashing:
fastboot boot recovery.img

The only problem for which i am concerned is the bootloop as i have watched many you tube videos but when i go in comment section there are lot of problems faced by people. Please give link to the tutorial you used to flash TWRP and rooted phone without problem.

If u have backuped your phone , u should have no fear of bootloop .By the way flashing magisk will never give you bootloop so feel free to flash it . See this

Looking for Root Guide for Umidigi F1 ((SOLVED))

Hello all
I recently switched from a Huawei Mate SE to the UMIDIGI F1 because turns out Huawei has blocked any means to unlock the bootloader (bastards). I've seen that Umidigi is more friendly in this respect so I was wondering what procedure or website you guys might recommend to follow to root the F1. Google brings up a few results but I would like to know from other's experience which one they think is best to follow since my expertise running adb is null (all my previous devices have been rooted running some app never directly from adb). Thanks for any help.
David C.
Update: I've successfully rooted my phone following this guide, only difference is that I installed the latest Magisk 19.1
Hallo. You can try this guide.

You may have to format data when first in TWRP to allow installation of Magisk
Has anyone updated TWRP for the new OTA update?

What do you mean. I did check the verity:id in the current twrp and the new update boot.img.
They are still the same.

Thanks. I'll check mine and see why it failed. The update is ok but without root I can't install my firewalls and other blocking software. I'll try again.
Thanks! :good:

If bootloader is unlocked then older miui can be flashed using twrp. Then a facotry reset is required to get to homescren. I've done it myself, with global rom, downgraded from 11.0.4.0 to 10.0.3.8 (however now back to 11.0.4.0 again)
*Factory reset will delete internal storage too so backup everything before downgrade.

Thanks for the reply,
I found a topic for Poco F1, here on Xda, with some info about unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP and I managed to unlock the bootloader after many attempts.
So I unlocked the bootloader, but did NOT rooted the phone. Transfered TWRP with ADB minimal commands, but when I restart phone in recovery TWRP asks for password for decryption. It lets me cancel the screen with password, but when I try to wipe cache and data gives error for not having permission. So I abandoned this method.
I google it and found another way to install roms, thru MiFlash, the tool from Xiaomi website.
The question is: Can I flash Android 9 MIUI 11 Global stable version with MiFlash with succes?
I have now installed on my phone Android 10 MIUI 11 Global stable version...

I've never used miflash so can't answer, sorry.
going back, i belive you had to flash disable force encryption.zip in twrp. This could remove the encryption.

I fiund different videos online but none for the poco f1 regarding the downgrade with stock rom with MiFlash. It said that it would work with all Xiaomi models, but I don't want to make something stupid, that's why I am asking in this community, maybe someone knows more info about it.
So what version of TWRP you use? Where I can find a working version of the ,,disable force encription.zip" for poco f1?
as far as I know MiFlash is one of the safest ways to flash stock miui for afresh new beginning.
I always use this when I run into any problem. (but u shud get as many experts opinions as possible)
Now coming to the point of "downgrading", I m gonna downgrade my device to check whether it bricks or not.

Once you've done that, format system and data. Then get twrp flashable miui 10 from here:
https://mi-globe.com/miui-firmware-rom-builder-features/78/
After flash, you need to format data to be able to get to homescreen. It works for me and i downgraded more than once from miui 11 (android 10) to miui 10

Thank you for the help, I wil try to do that and come with feedback. I supose i can install TWRP using minimal ADB commands like I did before, then try to flash the zip with the decryption data.
But you say you downgraded from miui 11 (android 10) to miui 10...is still viable for me to downgrade with this method from stock global version miui 11 (andoird 10) to stock miui 11 (android 9)??. I only have the bootloader unlocked, NOT rooted

While flashing I selected clean all+lock bootloader. After successful flashing and booting, I used "unlock tool" with MI login on the device+on the unlock tool and it didnt give me trouble (waiting period to unlock etc) to unlock again. So its pretty simple if u knw wht u r doing.
Happy flashing

You'll need fastboot commands to flash twrp.
Yes, I've downgraded from global to global. If using twrp, you need the rom in flashable zip format.
Can't see why bootloader can't be re-unlocked.

Yes, I've seen that roms for Twrp are in .zip format and the ones for XiaoMiFlash are .tgz format.

Yes, I will do that, check everything twice and don't rush. Everything should be properly done, step by step.
I still have a question.. if I have my microSd card in the phone while I flash a rom or wipe data it will affect it? I will loose the data on it? Should I get it out while doing the procedure?
Although I feel that it shudnt format sd card, I would simply remove sd card when wiping and insert it back when needed.:good:
I dnt wanna take chances.
Its upto u nw.:fingers-crossed:
