hmmm... my device updated itself without my permission :crying:
i lost my root and twrp, i'm stuck with useless stupid update
tried searching in internet about root for new update and twrp but nothing for now
i think we will wait weeks or months to see new updates for root and twrp
if i found anything new, i will post here and mention you :good:

Guys
Download Miui update in zip file and flash via recovery.
It doesn't revert to stock recovery and keeps your twrp along with root intact.

I've successfully rooted my miui 10 by this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/guide-root-using-magisk-stock-recovery-t3718203
And i've installed miui 11 now, somehow.. latest magisk (v20.1) can't root my device with the same method. So i tried to root with magisk v2.0 (same i did in miui 10) and its work

Hope you have backed up system, boot and vendor partition.
Wipe system, dalvik, cache, vendor partition and restore backup.

i don't have custom recovery, my device back to stock recovery
i tried downgrade with mi flash and step by step from websites but error, tried flash from recovery but it changed, there are 3 options
- restart
- wipe data
- contact mi assistant
no option install update.zip, also from device and check software update, no option to choose install update
everything changed, stupid update, i don't feel any good change
i think developer will take long time to root new update and use custom recovery
no downgrade work, no one try

Why don't you try installing recovery using fastboot method and then flash magisk 20.1 zip through recovery.
Please check if bootloader is still unlocked before trying this.

i tried using fastboot (mi flash tool) but error, tried another step in same app but show error
the new update changed everything, no one can downgrade from 11 to 10, i don't know why ??
from 10 to 8 you can downgrade without any problem, 11 you can't do anything

solved
finally i made it and back again to miui 10
best program for use xiaomitool
flash anything with 2-3 steps
