I want to root my poco f1 ....
But i have some questions regarding it
1. Will my data be format while rooting and installing twrp
2. How i will get ota update
3. Will installing ota update also format my data?
1. Your whole internal data needs to be wiped... To flash the force decryption enabler at first...
Even while installing twrp via fastboot.. Your data will be formated
2. You will get updates... But not via ota.... Yes you will get to download the updateds in some roms... But you need to dirty flash them.
3. While dirty flashing.... Formatting data is not required.

Does the twrp with working decryption also need to format my data?
You can root your device in two ways.
First, with twrp (OTA won't work afterwards)
Second, without twrp (OTA will work)
First method, unlock the bootloader (device will be wiped)>Grab the twrp with working decryption>Boot your device into fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Now type fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Once booted into twrp, swipe to allow modification>Now download Magisk installer and copy into the device>Flash it?Reboot to system>Profit.
N.B. After flashing twrp, make sure to first boot into twrp before booting into system or else device will restore stock recovery. If you need to update in future, just grab the twrp flashable update package and flash it. That's it. No need for OTA.
Second method, this will also require an unlocked bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, get the stock boot image of your current software (e.g. if you are on miui 10 with October security patch, make sure to grab the stock boot image for miui 10 october). Now install Magisk manager apk in your device. Now open magisk manager and go to install. You will find an option for patching stock boot image. Click on it and select the stock boot image. Magisk will patch the boot image and will place it in your internal memory. Now boot into fastboot mode and type fastboot boot patched_boot.img (or whatever the name is). Once device is booted into system, go to Magisk and click on Install>Direct install (recommended).Magisk will get flashed by itself and reboot. Once rebooted, go to Magisk manager and check. If you do everything correctly, you are rooted.
N.B. When you get an OTA update, open Magisk and go to Unsinatll and click on "Complete uninstall". It will uninstall magisk and revert your stock boot image back. Note that, if you play witgh system partition like modifying build.prop or change host file or bootanimantion or any such thing, you won't be able to get any further OTA update. In that case, you need to flash the complete fastboot rom through MiFlash tool.
For more information, please go to Magisk thread or search online.
Hi everyone, I am recently registered on this site. from some days I have the desire to do the Root on the miui global stable, it is consequently on my beloved Xiaomi Mi 8, the problem is: when the device is turned off I turn on the device pressing it under volume key + ignition key at the same time to enter in recovery mode, the latter makes me enter in "Official" mode, in the sense that it does not let me enter twrp mode where there are install, settngs, advacend options, backup ... but in the official one with only 3 buttons: wipe , connect to mi account ... So I thought of flashing the twrp via fastboot, I finally entered it, but the problem is that when I go to Install, to install the root, I can't do that, because characters (alphanumeric) appear long and randomly, so I can't identify which folder I put the Magisk on, it appears in both folders and subfolders. somewhere I read to install a zip file called LazyFlasher, to avoid possible blocking at startup, in fact I try before installing this zip file, with various combinations (first rom, then magisk, both rom and magisk, first magisk then rom , first rom that gate at the end the cache then magisk) but all fail, so I am forced to flash through fastboot with the tool I flash, because at every start it always took me back to twrp without the possibility of moving, it seems that the touch does not respond at the user's commands. So I know that this LazyFlasher file causes me to "bypass" this problem, give me confirmation ??. Thank you. PS: so far I haven't managed to install the Magisk root yet, can you give me a hand, maybe the twrp has some problems? or is my device not compatible with this version of twrp ??, I tell you that in the past with the miui global beta it didn't give me this problem. Thank you all
Have you even unlocked your bootloader? If not look for the official Xiaomi tool, it's the only way how you are able to flash twrp and root your phone.

Thanks for the reply, I solved everything, unlocked BL, installed twrp (no stock) and installed root. but I have a problem, when I installed the root, every time I want to restart the device for a series of reasons (slowness, delete cache, rest ...) it starts in twrp not in the system, so I have to delete everything it's starting again. I heard that the LazyFlasher file makes it possible to remedy this problem, essentially it allows you to bypass the security of android to avoid bootloap, and I hope it also corrects this problem (which when I reboot the device, I want to install a zip file, I it always starts in twrp), but during the flash of this zip (LazyFlasher) I get an error: the Updater process ended with error: 1 Error installing zip '/sdcard/lazyflasher-no-verify-opt-encrypt.zip. Thanks a lot. PS: but this file, lazyflasher should be mounted on an SD card to work ?? I don't have it on my device

Flash a DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable the Verity check. OR if you want to keep encryption and root -flash a 3rd party Kernel like MiPa or Sphinx after Magisk.

thank you. in the past I flamed DM-Verity No-Encryption ZIP to remove encryption and disable Verity checking. in fact after immediately this zip I put magisk. at the access of the dispay I saw a magisk icon, so it means root installed successfully. but the problem is: when I reboot the device to clear the cache ... or install a module on the magisk, it always starts in twrp, so I have to start all over again. there is a way to keep cryptography and root, without any booting going into twrp but into the system. thank you

You shouldn't have these problems:
Flash ROM and Keep Encryption:
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'DM-Verity' file is the ONLY thing the file is named. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Flash MAGISK
Flash 3rd Party Kernel (I prefer MiPa or Sphinx found in other threads)
Reboot and enjoy!
Flash ROM and REMOVE Encryption: (Keeps Stock Kernel)
Flash TWRP
Boot into TWRP and flash MIUI ROM
Flash TWRP again (select flash image, then select recovery partition, then select recovery file)
Flash DM-Verity ZIP here-->: DM-Verity (Make sure 'verity' AND 'forceencryp' is in the file name. The filename triggers what is installed during flash)
Reboot and enjoy!
If you have problems with any of them, you might need to format internal storage first (where you have to answer 'yes' in TWRP)
/.
As far as I understand, you are having problems while booting into TWRP. You should boot into TWRP right after flashing it, and boot into OS once again and reboot to recovery. It should work. If you see the stock recovery, keep flashing TWRP. If you want to temporarily flash it, use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" command.

No problems booting into TWRP.
You can use "fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img"
Then reboot phone and hold volume-up+power. When booting until TWRP appears. If you miss it and it tries to boot it will overwrite it. But I've never had issues otherwise.

Thanks for the reply. I will choose the first option, I replace the stock kernel with sphinx kerne, so I get more functionality, battery life, performance, fluidity ... also the developer has mentioned us, if any desired functionality is missing in this kernel, it is possible ask the developer to add us. so I choose the first option, I have some questions before replacing the stock kernel: 1) is it possible to restore the kernel stock, in case of problem, if yes, where can I get the kernel for Mi 8? 2) if in the future there will be a new update of sphinx kerne, how do I understand if a new update has been released? will you notify me ?? 3) are you sure that after these steps, upon restarting the phone, I will find the root installed ?, if I would like to restart the device, it will not boot in twrp but in the system, because I replaced the stock kernel, the same thing is also valid for the magisk modules, zip files ... 4) the last fundamental thing, will I receive updates via OTA ?? if not, is there a way to install future updates (I would like to try the latest magisk version, 19.3) ?. 5) it is safe if I install update via ota, it does not start in twrp, but system. 6) the steps to do are, flash twrp custom via fastboot, I choose to delete the memory, restart twrp, copy the files (MIUI global stable, sphinx kernel, dm-verify), flash rom, flash dm-verify, flash magisk, flash kernel, device reboot, all right. Thanks a lot for the questions

both methods don't work, the first one gives me error when I install kernel, the second one on startup gives me a lot of error
I managed to install the root, doing the following steps: flash twrp via fastboot, copy the files to the internal memory, install rom files, install magisk files, install dm-verify, then reboot, and it works perfectly. but I have some problems: when I reboot the device, it starts in twrp not in the system, and therefore I am forced to do it again. help me !! kernel replacement gives me error, both

You should not have errors flashing a kernel. Maybe you should flash all partition images from fastboot. Or maybe wrong recovery? What version are you using?

TWRP 3.3.1.1 https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dipper/
I followed in this guide "https://clk.ink/7q4SUR" but instead of installing Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1.zip I downloaded Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_09.02.2018.zip, is it the same ?, also I saw that, when I go inside the magisk, and I click on uninstall> restore image, a warning appears "there is no original boot image", I also executed this command in powershell "fastboot getvar current-slot" but I get a "GetVar Variable Not found" error. I don't know how to solve. thank you
Hi. I installed Android 12 Pixel Experience rom and my TWRP gone after this. After installing the rom, TWRP replaced with Pixel Experience's own recovery mode. Currently, the ROM is installed and I can use it without any problems, but I cannot switch to a different ROM in any way. When I install TWRP with ADB, I cannot install the file named "DM Verity & ForceEncrypt disabler" because everything is encrypted. I do not use any passwords on the ROM (fingerprint, screen lock, etc.). I want to install new ROM so I need to make TWRP permanent and remove encryption on TWRP, because i can't see my files. As I said, the phone is can open and I can use it without problems. Looking forward to your help, thank you.
1) Backup everything
2) Install twrp and sideload the PE rom but don't boot into it
3) Flash the DFE (disable force encryption ) zip from twrp
4) Boot into the rom
Remember you won't get the ota updates if you disable the encryption and have to manually update the rom

You need to read the instructions before you flash anything. PE A12 is encrypted by default and because TWRP can't handle the decryption of A12 ROMs, PE replacing the TWRP with PE Recovery, so to be able to get OTA updates. This is a workaround until TWRP fix the decryption issue.
To flash another ROM, take backup of the files you want from your Internal Storage, flash TWRP via ADB, wipe everything and format data. Then connect your device to PC and transfer the ROM and the files you want to flash into your Internal Storage and proceed with flashing.
Good evening dear members, I ask for your kind advice, as I have done something wrong to my Oneplus 5t.
I upgraded my Oneplus 5t with "lineage for microG" 19.1 (from lineage 18).
I had installed TWRP 3.5.0_9 (phone encrypted).
It booted fine the first time into system.
The problem arose after I tried to install Magisk 21.4 from TWRP.
Now the phone only boots in recovery, but it doesn't enter TWRP's menu. It stays on the first TWRP screen (where it shows the version number).
The good thing (I hope) is that I can enter fastboot mode.
I tried flashing TWRP again from fastboot to no avail.
I tried flashing boot.img from fastboot (taken from the original firmware), but still no luck.
Is there a way to install the original firmware from fastboot?
I think starting from scratch would be a step into the right direction.
Please give any suggestion which I fill follow to the letter.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You have to be decrypted or flash DMverity for A12. I assume You mean Magisk 24.1 the current version is 24.3
Hi. This is what I did:
I downloaded and installed original firmware through fastboot (fastboot was still on).
I also installed original recovery through fastboot.
After that my oneplus 5t was in stock condition, apart from the bootloader, which was unlocked.
After that I managed to install TWRP through fastboot, and then lineage 19.
The thing is that TWRP doesn't support lineage 19, for one reason or another. Or it could be the other way around (lineage 19 doesn't support TWRP). In any case I had a phone which would only go in fastboot mode.
At least I knew what to do, as I did it already: reinstall stock firmware and recovery.
Long story short, I installed LOS recovery and lineage 19, and everything works fine.
Thanks everyone, and especially thaidroid, for the support.
Have a nice day.

What recovery are you on? TWRP?
I use the one posted alongside each version: https://download.lineageos.org/dumpling
can you help?
I need to root so I can titanium backup everything. but I can't root. I suspect I might need to fully format and wipe and start again, I tried wiping data and doing a fresh install, but after sideloading magisk it just fails to boot every time now.
Does it boot regularly BEFORE installing magisk? I am trying to define the source of the problem.
I have installed lineage 19 and magisk, and I confirm you that it's possible
Yes. It boots fine if I just install lineage then nevermindthegapps. problem only occurs if I flash magisk. I tried installing the .apk and patching the .boot image manually in it and then fastboot flashing that, but same thing.
oh - one possible thing that it may be - is that I had a couple of modules loaded (I think a gcam fix mod and something similar) in magisk, and I read somewhere about people having them stuck 'installed' despite demoving all traces of magisk app. whether that is the problem I don't know.
This is very strange. That's what I did:
Sideload lineage recovery
Sideload lineage 19
Download magisk apk
Patched boot image from lineage 19.zip
Sideload the patched boot image
And that's it it all worked
May I suggest you to start all over again?
is wiping system data sufficient or do I need to format it? I'd rather not lose my appdata- but I can't rescue it without root / titanium backup :/
Try first without formatting, and see how it goes
I wiped system/cache, installed lineage-19.1-20220719-nightly-dumpling-signed.zip / mindthegapps, phone booted up fine - rebooted fine.
ok, good. Now download latest magisk app and patch the boot img.
do I click patch vbmeta in image?
Yes.
First extract the file called boot.img from lineage.zip you just installed.
Then in magisk select "patch vbmeta in image".
Magisk should produce a file named something like " magisk_pached-24300_f41h3.img".
That patched file should be sideloaded.
Installation is explained really well by topjohnwu
it wouldn't flash without selecting vbmeta, so tried with, flashed it, now i'm sitting looking at the boot logo.
