I'm in a Deadlock Situation. Please Help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to root my phone. But it requires TWRP to be installed. To install TWRP I need to Unlock the Bootloader. To Unlock the Bootloader, I'll have to keep a backup of my data,as my phone erases everything on Unlock. To backup my Data, I need TWRP to be installed with Root Access.

Unfortunately to restore the backup you will have to unlock the bootloader, and flash TWRP on your new device and after transferring the backup file to your new device use TWRP to restore the backup. Without unlocking the bootloader to flash this via fastboot or unlocking and rooting and flashing a TWRP through a root app such as flashify this will not be possible.
Unfortunate cause I don't want to root my phone for some days atleast

[Q] Unlock Bootloader, Custom Recovery and Root

Hey guys,
I am trying to prepare my Nexus 9 to receive root (when that happens) and I was wondering if unlocking the bootloader will suffice for the time being? That means it will wipe it once, and I can start using my Nexus 9 without worrying of wiping it in the future.
Then it means as soon as TWRP comes out with a version that supports Nexus 9 I just need to flash that (no need to wipe device) and then flash SuperSU (no wiping either)
Am I missing something here?
You're right but...
Hey ombadboy
I think this will work. Don't forget to enable the oem unlock in the developer settings before. Otherwise your try to unlock will fail. Maybe you shouldn't flash the first versions of twrp, because this will be the first one for Lollipop und encrypted storage. Just boot the image once and flash superSU. So you will still get OTA updates.
After unlocking you should be able to root without losing your data twice.
After a few time and if there are no more OTAs in the near future you can flash a stable TWRP image.

See the guide here. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-nexus-9/
Thanks for the replied guys. Yes, that's exactly what I did; now I have an unlocked bootloader.
So if I understood this well, can I get root without flashing a custom recovery? If so, what's the purpose of flashing one?

The purpose of having a custom recovery is to flash custom roms.
Here's some info for root

Recovery allows you to flash anything to device without doing manually with root explorer, adb or fastboot. Can do most anything you can do with recovery with these 3 tools.

In Xiaomi you there isn't any TA partition so you don't have to worry about DRM keys. You can simply unlock bootloader and fastboot flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU binary via recovery to get root access.
I recommend you to unlock bootloader and flash zcx recovery and create a full nandroid backup before mounting system partition. This way you have a complete backup of the current state and you can return to it at any time.
You can install any custom ROM via recovery.
Unlocking bootloader won't void the warranty.
If you want to use marshmallow you can either flash beta MIUI ROM with/without unlocking bootloader or unlock the bootloader and flash a MM based ROM via recovery.
You can return to factory state at any time by either flashing MIUI fastboot ROM via EDL mode on locked/unlocked bootloader or by flashing fastboot ROM via fastboot mode on unlocked bootloader.

I won't recommend you to use kingroot to root the device due to following reasons:
1) I don't trust these shady chinese closed source apps that relies on software vulnerability.
2) If you've rooted by any method without unlocking bootloader you won't be able to flash "incremental" OTA updates as it verifies system partition before flashing. However, you should be able to flash MIUI full recovery ROM that'll overwrite the whole image without verifying for the changes. Unlike OTA it's usually about 1.2GB in size. There's another method to flash OTA without system image verification which involves removal of a few lines from updater-script but I haven't tested it yet on stock recovery.

1) If you want to revert back to MIUI from CyanogenMod, restore nandroid backup. But make sure to backup every partition in TWRP recovery first before any modification. And don't allow system modification on the first boot to recovery. Firstly, create a full backup and then you can flash whatever ROM you like. In case you want to switch back, restore the full backup except "firmware" partition. I suggest you to use zcx recovery. You can find more about it in the xda thread.
2) If you don't have a TWRP backup, you can revert to stock ROM by flashing MIUI fastboot ROM via pc in fastboot mode. You can do the same in EDL mode but it'll wipe everything including internal storage.
3) If you want to install MIUI beta ROM based on MM, you can do that both on a locked and unlocked bootloader. Go to en.miui.com and download the latest beta ROM, put it on your internal storage and use the updater app to install it.
4) If you do the step (3) and want to revert back to MIUI stable based on LP, then you'll face sim detection issue which can be fixed by flashing modem (NON-HLOS.bin) of the same stable ROM via fastboot on unlocked bootloader. This is a bug from Xiaomi side.
5) You can use MIUI beta ROM, actually it's more stable than MIUI stable ROM and most people prefer it over stable.
Hope that helps

Root with unlocked bootloader on miui 10

Guys I need root but don't want to lose data and internal storage so my question is this
With unlocked bootloader if I flash twrp after wiping just cache and dalvik and then immediately flash magisk or maybe reboot to recovery and flash magisk, will my data remain as it is and will I get root.
I understood I will lose twrp on first boot.

No data will not be deleted but you will need to flash lazy flasher after that in order to boot properly. But i would suggest wait for a stable twrp recovery or official twrp ?

Magisk or twrp doesn't delete your data ? since you have already unlocked your bootloader .

Agreed, but to the best of my knowledge we have to flash FDE and then format everything fir twrp to stick. Not sure about root though, that's why asking. Prepared to lose twrp if I can retain root without losing data.
First install twrp and format everything.. then reboot
It wl encrypt data automatically. Again flash twrp and then format then install force encryption zip and then install magisk. BOOM!
You get ua recovery n root too.
