Hi everybody.
I'm struggling and I need a little help.
I'm trying to root my MI A3 with android 11 (for two days, I had spend like 12 hours on this "quest").
I finally found a good tutorial (this one: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/xiaomi-mi-a3-root-guide/).
But at certain point it ask me to find out the "STOCK BOOT".
I did a lot of research and my question is, wtf need I search on google?
Stock Boot
Global Stock boot

I really sorry writing so many options above. But, EVERYONE on internet use a different name. I took all this names from some website and I simply don't know whf I need to look for.
Below are some links I had research and that have all those names:

There is no such a thread "how to root with magisk" in all XDA links.
But, "IF" you are talking about the thread "How to Root Mi A3 with MAGISK without TWRP", I will say again, because you dont understand at the first time...
...I already searched everywhere, and nothing worked
(including "How to Root Mi A3 with MAGISK without TWRP", the link to this boot.img on github is broken).
But what I just dont understand is WHY are you insisty giving me answer that I didn't ask in the first place? What I ask was:
what is the correct name of stock boot and where can I find it?
If you cant help, just liave it.
Hi Everybody.
I finally found out all this things about the stock boot.
The correct name is "boot.img".
You can EXTRACT this "boot.img" from its respective "OTA" file.
To do so, follow this steps:
1 - Find out what is the "Android Number Version" in your cellphone here:
Settings->about the device->Android Version-> Number Version.
For exemple, my "Android Number Version" is V12.0.5.0.RFQEUXM
12.0.5.0 - Firmware version
R- Android version (R-> Android 11R or Android 11 / P-> Android pie or Android 9).
FQ - Smartphone model code (FQ = Xiaomi Mi A3).
EU- Firmware build type (MI for Global | EU for Europe)
XM - Firmware version code
2 - Download "OTA" file from here:
https://www.thecustomdroid.com/xiaomi-mi-a3-android-10-update-guide/
On the website, scrool down until you get on the name of your "Android Number Version" (or just use CTRL+F) and download the "OTA" file (it is a .zip file). You just need to download the "OTA" file. The "FASTBOOT ROM" file (the .tgz file) is not necessary.
With the "OTA" file in your hands, use this tutorial to EXTRACT "boot.img":
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-android-ota-payload-dumper-on-android.4061799/
And that is it
You already have your "boot.img".
After that, if you want to root your mi A3, use the thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-root-mi-a3-with-magisk-without-twrp.3958509/
finally you have find the guide! great work man, i'm happy that i can gave you my little help
Hi where i can find stock boot image latest november V12.0.14.0.RFQEUXM ?

... sorry but I'm very confused ...
I'm reading the possible on the network, but the result is I always get confused more despite having a certain familiarity in modding having modded a galaxy nexus, and an LG G2 on which I installed TWRP recovery and various CyanogenMod ROMs.
Unlocking the bootloader in kate/SE, in an official or unofficial way, is still very difficult or almost impossible?
I often read of modified TWRP recovery, which sometimes give problems and sometimes it does not ...is it possible just put the official TWRP for kenzo?
If I can somehow install a TWRP, is possible to easily install the CyanogenMod ROM (after flashing ROM flashing kate modem is needed) and provide CM updates simply by flash new ROM via TWRP recovery?
Thks in adv
Nope! It's easy as 123... Please, check:
http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html - for unlocked "emmc_appsboot.mbn".
You can also download ALKA TWRP, rename to "recovery.img", and replace it in fastboot ROM (image folder).
(As well as "emmc_appsboot.mbn emmc_appsboot.mbn", downloaded from the link above.)

I could not unlock my "kate" officially.
I've tried the method posted above, and works like a charm!
No bootloop, at all...
Thaknk yo so much for yr reply
I remain with the feeling of more complexity and less certainty, than the modding of the galaxy nexus and also the LG G2...
Official unlock works fine.
I have a Kate and unlocked it officially.
Just make sure to flash the global developer ROM, log into your MI account on the phone and press the "bind device to account" button inside the security settings menu before attempting to unlock.
I also got my Kate to unlock officially after using updater on phone to flash global beta rom.then in developer options clicked MI unlock status then linked phone to account. After that unlocked first try after many many failed attempts on global stable.
Nice news and info, thks so much!
But... why so many people can't officially unlock their kate having 50pc error...??
Which version of miui unlock tool and Global Dev. ROM you used when officially unlock yr kate?
I used global beta 6.11.24 and MIflash unlock_1.1.1111.1_en
Thks for reply and info
I have built a derivative of the TeamWin Recovery Project recovery to the new Android device Xiaomi Redmi 8A (olivelite). This recovery has been extensively tested and works perfectly on Global version of the device with latest firmare as of 20.11.2019. on Android Pie (MIUI 10).
https://milankragujevic.com/twrp-for-xiaomi-redmi-8a
IMPORTANT: You must flash vbmeta or your phone will fail to boot (until you restore stock recovery):
https://projects.milankragujevic.com/olivelite/vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
I'm very sorry that I forgot to include this instruction initially. If anyone's phone has failed to boot, you can either flash vbmeta and use my TWRP, or flash the stock recovery without flashing vbmeta.

I have tried it on MIUI 11 India ROM, it works the same (but my phone is Global and I flashed MIUI 11 India on it).
@ararat1824:
> And the phone won't turn on only in fastboot mode
I don't quite understand, but you probably bricked your phone.
Restore stock ROM with Mi Flash, then reboot into bootloader by turning off the phone from the OS and holding volume Down and pressing the power until the FASTBOOT logo appears.
Then do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and start pressing volume Up (not Down!) and type "fastboot reboot" while holding the volume button.
It will go into TWRP.
thank you for the answer
But Don t problem for mi on fastboot second time flashed stock recovery after this yes opened normal
But I haven't tried your recovery
Wait for next update
@ararat1824 I don't understand you at all. But if you have not tried my recovery, this is not the place for you to complain.
@milankragujevic

Hi, @rehan992,
How is it not working? Did you try it on a Global variant of the phone as I have written in the post?
Your profile says you live in India, and presumably have an India variant of the phone, in which case that is an unsupported configuration and the recovery may or may not work.
If you still want to get it working, you can also try flashing this vbmeta image: https://projects.milankragujevic.com/olivelite/vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Then retry flashing TWRP.
As I have written in the blog post, the recovery works on my device.
Ok wait i will try

Hi!
Please make TWRP to Redmi 8......
BIG THX!!!!
@rehan992 Let me know if it worked.
I have added a notice about vbmeta to the first post, I apologize for not doing it earlier.
For anyone with a damaged phone, here are recoveries:
Global MIUI 10 latest as of 24.11.2019.: https://projects.milankragujevic.com/olivelite/stock/recovery/global-miui10/recovery.img

@milankragujevic Thenk you advanced for your efor
Hi @ararat1824, thank you for testing and reporting that it works. Enjoy
@rehan992 I have used it, it has no problems. You should always backup your device, but it did work for me both on MIUI 10 and MIUI 11. You are clearly doing something wrong, however you have provided no info so I can't help you.
ararat, about Magisk: there's a boot.img patch for India MIUI 10 and Global MIUI 10:
https://projects.milankragujevic.com/olivelite/magisk/miui-10/global_patched.img - Global MIUI 10 latest as of 24.11.2019.
https://projects.milankragujevic.com/olivelite/magisk/miui-10/indian_patched.img - India MIUI 10 latest as of 24.11.2019.
Try that, it should work. Don't forget to install Magisk Manager v20.1!

For some reason Xiaomi does not have one place to share the links. Sometimes it's on the main MI web page (but strongly depends which country variation you select), in other cases it's just mentioned in MI forum post (yet again depends on the country variation). People collect those links and store them for future use, but they are 100% original (as you can see where they're actually linking).

Edit- I just figured out the models listed in this thread are not the one I have.
I may be a little slow, but does this mean we can root and run Android on our Idol 4s? Also, I'm not sure what my model number is. It's an unlocked idol 4s in the United States.
Thanks!

Correct, you have the Windows version of the Idol 4. There was work being done to convert it to an android device but I don't think it's being worked on anymore. Last I knew there was a bootloader unlock available for it

Thanks for the app, i have a question, is it possible to unlock without having to pay, i already went to a local shop but they couldnt do it because i had it rooted With an old versión of TWRP

I can't find the ROMs anywhere. I tried to go back to stock, but recovery won't recognize SDcard (other phones do recognize it). I tried to sideload the stock zip file, fail.
Sorry to bother you man, I'm out of my depth. Please, leave me some instructions how to go back to stock or how to install native LOS and where to download it from. Thanks!

Come to our group and we'll get you fixed up. You are correct, No roms are flashed unless you flash them. The toolkit only gets you setup for GSI roms, which you have to get. Native Android 9 works very well, so you have a couple differents choices.

Now when I test to reinstall TWRP I have this error :

I'm without solution to install TWRP or another recovery, after this I think it will be good.
Do you have some ideas ?
Thanks for you help and sorry for my english.
