You can boot a custom recovery, install magisk, which won't modify your system or recovery partitions, then you can install a camera 2 api magisk module. However each time you flash an update, you will probably need to repeat the process.
You might need to have a copy of lazy flasher just im case it doesn't boot, that normally will fix the failure to boot

Will it work on miui 8 this version. The battery life is great on this than miui 9!
You will need to be on Android 7.0 based Rom for the Google Camera, so you'll have to upgrade if you want to use Google Camera with hdr+ and portrait mode

You need minimum android ver. 7.0 to get this work. Not sure whether miui 8 can do the job, yeah but miui 9 + 7.0 + cam2 api enabled will do the work for you.

I root my mobile,then enable camera2api through build prop editor..then disable or unroot mobile.does camera2api worked or not...thanks for advance.
And sorry for bad english..
It would probably work, but you might break ota updates, or at least you will need to repeat the steps every time a rom update gets pushed. Your phone will probably no longer pass safetynet checks however on the Google playstore

You can do that, but keeping these things in mind :
1. After rooting and enabling cam2api, then unrooting will work but your device will not be able to pass safetynet check(for passing safetynet check your device shall have magisk root and magisk hide).
2. You will not get any ota updates, if you want to get ota updates, you will have to flash redwold recovery instead of twrp.(but you can always update manually but you'll have to download full rom unlike smaller size ota)
3. If you are not bothered about safetynet check and unrooted your device, then after every updates, you will have to root again and enable cam2api.
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.

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 ?
of is this extra zealous ?
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...
Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global Rom but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx, due to support wifi 2.4 ghz only. (Because bluetooth interfering with wifi 2.4 Ghz and our device doesn't support 5ghz wifi)
Compare to MIUI, Havoc OS has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: no delay with wifi bluetooth interference
+ Doesn't have bloatware, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk and root.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI and extract to get system
From Official Havoc OS here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/a64-ab/ (Newer Version)
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature. If it doesn't work, then try an alternative way:
Open /vendor/bin/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and add the string:
Code:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 1 5
then reboot
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
How to Update
- Flash system image over, no wipe require. Just reboot.
Bugs
I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.
Additions
- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from https://vancedapp.com/; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here
- To fix Recording, from Misc features -> Force Timestamp Source, choose Clock boottime
And that's all. Now enjoy!
I gifted my sister this phone so i don't have device to test anymore. Still, sometime i'll test if i can. The guide still works so enjoy flashing!!!
Great. I've been using havocOs for almost two months now and it's great. Much quicker and smoother than stock miui. Only problem I've been trying to find a fix for is setting up a lock screen.
Thanks for sharing the dt2w module for magisk. Is there some sort of setting I need to mess with to get it to work? I've installed the module and activated it in magisk but dt2w still won't work. I also activated the dt2w setting that comes with havocOs 3.1 under " xiaomi features " but that never worked from the beginning.

Did you flash no_encrypt zip? It'll make set up screen password impossible because encryption is disable. I have clean flashed Havoc OS and confirm d2tw module working, despite i don't active the xiaomi option in setting.

Yes I believe I did flash no_encrypt. Is there any possible way to re-enable Encryption to set up a screen lock at this point?

There is a trick, you can enable encryption through Settings -> security -> Encryption and credentials then encrypt phone. If it doesn't work, then read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Or you can do the whole process again, clean flash and do as my thread. May be d2tw starts working.
Thank you sir
thanks a lot for this
can you tell me how to upgrade our 32bit os to 64bit

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global 10.3 but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx.
Compare to MIUI, Havoc 3.1 has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: almost the same as the speed of my network
+ Doesn't have some bloatwares, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important to me.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI from ExpressLuke and extract to get system imagehttps://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/HavocOS/Ten/A64/AB/
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature.
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...

I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.

- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from vanced.app; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.

I've considered making a complete tutorial on installing recovery, root, & rom installation for this phone. Next time I go back to stock I probably will make a video. Until then you can definitely follow the tutorials on this forum to install a custom recovery and rom. Personally I would recommend installing OrangeFox recovery because TWRP has touchscreen issues sometimes.
You will have to unlock the bootloader first which takes 14 days if you have not already.
The tool to unlock the Bootloader is here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Once your bootloader is unlocked you're ready to install OrangeFox custom recovery, the files and instructions can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...t/orangefox-recovery-xiaomi-redmi-8a-t4032583
Once you have OrangeFox recovery installed you can follow this tutorial in this thread to install HavocOS rom or the other thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
Try it out and then come back and let us know what problems you run into

I used TWRP then moved to Orange Fox. Everything working fine, may be your screen is different. In d2tw module, there's a file called readme.md: Manual usage : - enable $ set-dt2w 1 - disable $ set-dt2w 0
Just try it -))))))))
Great GSI. I have this one problem though. I cannot backup anything from TWRP. Is it really normal because it's encrypted?

I'm getting the same error with attempting to make a back up in orangefox. After seeing you have the same problem now I'm assuming it is indeed a problem with encryption? I was able to make backups successfully before my phone was encrypted so I still have an old back up on my PC. However it would be nice to be able to make a new fresh back up.

That was weird. In stock ROM, I can back up the /data/media just fine even when encrypted. But after having Havoc OS, I cannot do that anymore. Tried on both TWRP and OrangeFox. I can, with an unencrypted phone, but I do not feel comfortable without a lockscreen. Tried all things I have researched on that error. Not one worked. Might as well just stick to Titanium Backup for backups.
Overall, great GSI. Loading is faster than on stock (with the internet too)! Though, I have another issue with regards to the locking of apps, so that the app would not be cleared. Speaking of clearing apps, it is tiring to scroll left just to see the "Clear All" option in Recents. Autostart too.
I know you are not the developer, but just letting you know my concerns.

Hello community, so I have successfully done it as in title,
but I still have some steps which not very clear and would hope xda community could enlighten me about it.
so my steps are like this:
1. unlock bootloader with Mi unlock tool
2. flash stock MIUI10.3.8 android 9 rom
2.1 transfer 'Disable force encryption treble' and 'Magisk 19.4' to phone storage
3. fastboot, adb flash twrp 3.2.3-1, boot into twrp 3.2.3-1
4. install the 2 zip files in twrp
reboot system, and it went through..
I know I was lucky, so got some questions here:
1. TWRP mention it's necessary to do dm-verify disable. but I review seems I never did it and got no warning message or error about it. I wonder reason for this? is it because I never modify system partition anyway.
2. 'Disable force encryption treble' file has Magisk built in. I was surprised to see it in log, but nevertheless went to flash higher version 19.4 file. all went through I wonder any issue could be caused from this.
3. I review and realize didn't do the 'wipe data/cache' step before install the 2 zip files. It went through without issue surprisingly.. I wonder the reason for this.
3.1 and if I follow the guide to wipe data and cache first, the 2 zip files will still be there? kind of weird not sure how the emulated storage works..
3.2 Is this 'Disable force encryption treble' file step necessary? I read TWRP can auto settle this encryption thing in newer versions.
and I also wonder whether it means my current phone state is 'not encrypted' state. I check in settings 'encrypt with lock screen password' is off.
Thanks in advance guys

You followed and old guide.
The latest stable for the poco is 11.0.6 (Android 10)
and the latest magisk is 20.3
Dfe is needed only if you don't want encryption. Otherwise it's not.
The question is what do you want to do.
Custom ROMs/stock ROMs, Android 9/10 there's a different procedure for each one.

Thanks for your reply. Yep I used an older version as I needed something proven working. I'm fine with just MIUI10 android 9 and magisk 19.x.
Do you know about the Dm-verify thing, is it optional also?

Keeping dm-verity is an extra barrier for your device to not be exploited.
If you don't have any reason to turn it off, leave it as it is.
The procedure is very simple. DFE or OFOX are NOT required. I myself flashed TWRP on an encrypted device and it boots and works as expected. Also twrp does not go away if you follow the steps correctly. No format needed either. Just remember your password.
0. First of all an unlocked bootloader is required. If this is your first time, go to miui.com/unlock. Backup your personal data before unlocking.
1. On windows install ADB DRIVERS and download PLATFORM-TOOLS and TWRP. Also download Magisk and move it to the phone, or to a type C usb stick if the device is encrypted.
2. In Developer Options Enable USB Debugging, then reboot to fastboot (Vol Down + PWR Button).
3. Connect the device to PC. Extract the platform tools folder and in it press Shift+Left Click and open a powershell window. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [twrp version name]
4. Type fastboot reboot and hold Vol+ to go staight into TWRP.
5. From there flash magisk, wipe caches and reboot to system.
6. Come back here and hit that thanks button. :good:
It was always the trick to survive twrp is to boot into recovery and flash magisk. Anyway, good to have a clean thread.

Hasn't this been the preferred method since forever? And dfe just isn't needed at all encrypted unencrypted doesn't matter you can still flash magisk, and since when would twrp not work on stock miui roms?
It's just a update of a skinned Android, not a major android os update like android 11, really very little has changed to warrant making this thread, sorry.

Preferred? I think it's the only one. But many people are asking about miui 12 and what's changed. Many things have changed with Android 10 and/or miui 12 in many other xiaomi devices and extra things are needed (especially on mediatek devices). Also there are some lies being spread about the need of DFE and alternative recoveries as "better".
Not everyone is familiar with the method of rooting and no one cared to create a straightforward how-to without spreading BS with idiotic recoveries and unnecessary things. Have a nice day.
Nothing changed regarding unlocking, flashing TWRP/Orangefox and rooting regarding the 9T Pro since it's release.
There is NO special method for Miui 12 and the method is overall as good as the same for all Xiaomi/Poco devices.
And the "many people" you mentioned is just 1 person who asked for it in the Questions/FAQ section so no need for unnecessary cluttering of threads.
It sometimes takes a while after flashing magisk for the phone to boot up. Make sure you double check that it was successful by using the Magisk Manager app!

Yes but is it really relevant to discuss changes on other devices on this forum? No
If those people can't do some simple basic research they shouldn't be rooting in the first place it's designed to be simple and easy and if people can't get that they should have never unlocked their bootloader in the first place. Nothing but clutter here. Give one example of someone speading as you say "lies" about dfe.

First of all, make sure that Magisk Hide option is enabled in Magisk Manager settings (reboot afterwards) - but if it's not enabled then Basic Integrity would also fail
Problem with CTS Profile failing started about month ago (it has been thoroughly discussed in the general Magisk thread) when Google enforced Hardware backed attestation for CTS Profile (for certain phones / stock firmwares). In that case Magisk Hide cannot hide that Bootloader is unlocked and therefore CTS Profile fails
If so, try how it works for Mi 9T, MIUI 11:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83035713&postcount=40681
In short, install Magisk Hide Props Config module and use its option to delete ro.product.model and reboot afterwards.
The post above describes also how to get back Device is certified in Google Play settings, as well as about a sidefect with Settings/About that will no more properly display your phone model
There is a more 'generic' fix you will also find a link in the post above, to use a particular hardwareoff module for Magisk but that module redefines several ro.product.* props (not only ro.product.model), to cover for other phones like Samsung, etc - IMO, better not to redefine props whose redefinition is not needed for MIUI to pass CTS Profile

Just for rooting you don't need DFE, nor to format (neither to wipe) Data.
You need it if you go to flash custom ROM
Btw, rooting can be done without TWRP, just by patching boot.img and flashing the patched image from Fastboot

No, I just installed the zip with OrangeFox.
How can I fix it?
Orange restarts every time you restart ...

On OrangeFox in the Wipe directory there are only these entries:
Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, System, Vendor, Data, Internal Sorage, USB-Storage.
Which entries should I format?
Thank you
