Hi there, all!
I'm a bit new to Xiaomi flashing since this is my first Xiaomi daily driver. I wanted to know what I will lose if I unlock my bootloader. I know its pretty simple to do and I want to do so to get Dolby Atmos on my Mi 10. I am currently on MIUI 12.5.1 Stable and if I do unlock my bootloader, install TWRP, and flash in Dolby Atmos support, will I get OTA updates, and will my phone be flagged as rooted in a way that some apps like Snapchat or banking apps won't launch anymore. I won't be rooting it since I don't really need it, unless I do need to for the Dolby Atmos flash. Thanks!
If you are planning on running the same rom you have now you will have problems with banking apps for sure.
There are ways of fixing it with root and different Magisk modules.
If you install Xiaomi.eu Beta you should be able to run everything without root.
In my opinion you shouldn't unlock just for Dolby Atmos.

True, but I do want to flash it with an AOSP 12 port when it's available. Will those ROMs work with Banking Apps and such? Cause back on Samsung there's Knox and the single-trip firmware fuze. Does it exist also on Mi phones?

Xiaomi doesn't have a special software like Knox, it all depends on the ROM.

Alright, then. Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to research more when I do flash my phone.

Hi,
I'm looking for Kenzo ROMs based on AOSP (not MIUI) that don't have root. I'd like to play Pokemon Go, but don't want to muck around with Magisk, nor do I want to unroot CM.
Currently running SlimRom for Kenzo, but am running into an "unable to authenticate" error.
Is there a clean, unrooted Marshmallow ROM that I can use as a daily driver?
Cheers
Are you trying a RootCloak from Xposed?

No, I don't have Xposed installed. Just want to look for a ROM that hasn't been rooted, even though in ROMs like SlimROM the root isn't enabled yet.
I unrooted using SuperSU, and no longer receive the "Unable to Authnticate" error in Pokemon GO, which is strange because that's not even the error message you receive when you've got an unsupported OS, device, or you're rooted.
I guess next time I update i'll need to do it again.

Hello,
I have a problem with the Redmi Note 4, I am trying to use an app that is not working if the phone is rooted and ofc it's not working because apparently the phone IS rooted and I can't find anywhere how to unroot it.
The ROM is global and it's version 8.0.6 or something. Anyway, can someone please advise how to unroot it please?

Can you post a screenshot of your about phone screen in settings? Did you install any roms since getting it? As the global stable/dev roms dont have root by default, i dont even think it can be enabled global dev like the china dev rom. Its possible you have a vendor/reseller rom and so recommended to flash an official rom asap as the current one may contain malware/spyware/backdoors/etc.

so the phone arrived yesterday bought from aliexpress, there should be no root indeed for a global rom but even if i install an app that requires root it says that root is not present. being bought from aliexpress i assume the vendor opened the box and installed a custom rom. I will try to flash an official one today.
try to use Xposed and rootcloack or suhide
suhide won't work with Xposed tho, so your Gona have to remove Xposed if the first option doesn't work
I'm guessing it's a banking app had the same problem

I want to root but dont know how
I have unlocked bootloader and installed several custom roms but my banking app will not work on any but it does on the global miui it came with.
How can I return it to global miui? Will the bootloader need re locking to get OTA updates again?
NO.
Flash the rom with miflash
I have installed miui 9 global beta for now and its running nice and banking ap works too so happy for now. Thanks.

Hey there, in custom roms, You need to flash MAGISK to hide the root and pass safety net

Banking apps and games like pokemon go originally dont work on custom roms.
It triggers safetynet even without root so Magisk is here to be able to pass it.

I tried what you've requested.
Actually, its my first time installing international banking app, LOL
I installed two banking apps.
Barclay's app just hanged on title screen
And the app from Local bank work pretty well.
Now about the Barclay, is a known issue from rooted phones. I guess is doesn't work even i use Magisk Hide.
This is old version of Barclay's app 1.3.3 , the new update does not work on rooted or custom roms.
http://www.mediafire.com/?6fc51lu9xed4d6x
It's not working because the bootloader is unlocked.

Hi friends ,
I need some help to root my Redmi Note 4.
I have no pc , so the needed rooting method is without pc.
I tried with Kingroot , but they didnt start to support on this device yet.
My Redmi Note 4 is 3GB/32GB version running on android 7.0 and MIUI Global 8.5 Stable. I dont want to flash a custom rom or recovery to this. I need only root permission for run some apps.
If anybody knows working rooting methods like kingroot , please help me.
As far I know, there is no way you can root without pc, there is no bug to exploit for simply root click apps. Especially with locked bootloader device.

AFAIK China Dev ROM was prerooted.

Yeah, just request permission for unlock bootloader from your device. Bound your mi account, wait for 7-10 days.
After that just borrow one of your friends pc. Download and install mi unlock.
Unlock your bootloader, install twrp, flash lazy flasher, flash magisk or supersu.
And, you are golden.

Instead of that, just unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and root your phone. If you don't like it, then you can easily switch to stock miui anytime.
Dear friends,
I've read other question threads about this and searched a lot on the internet as well, but I haven't found a clear and direct answer to this.
My questions are as follows:
1 - Will Unlocking Bootloader and Performing Root Make Me Lose DRM Keys? If yes, how does it affect my device?
(The penultimate time I was left with the camera app unable to take pictures in low light and without updates via OTA). It was the Xperia Z3.
2 - Will I be able to install Gravitybox, Xposed Framework, Xposed Edge, Xposed Additions, Gesture Navigations, etc...? It's been 7 years since I've needed to root a device (the last one was the Xperia Z5), so I'm out of date.
3 - Is there a Photos and Videos widget for current versions of Android 12 or 13? I just can't bring that Widget to my new device even though I can get the Xperia Album to work normally.
Thanks in advance for all your help and advice. Forgive me for the google english and have a great day.
I can only help with question 1 lol no you don't lose any DRM keys from what I can tell. The only thing you will lose is widevine l1 to l3

1. You lose widevine L1 to L3, so no more HD content from prime , netflix, etc...
2. You can run Lsposed but gravity box wont work on android 13, worse it can cause bootloop and without twrp, idk if we can fix bootloop without full wipe. Idk if others module will work. Edit: lsposed work fine for me (xposed framework )
3. Idk, you may search playstore for photo widget?
so, do i understand this correctly, the trim area partition is lost and can not be backed up prior to bootloader unlocking, but you effectirvely lose nothing but widevine and the camera is not affected in any way?
No you don't lose anything from what I can tell lol also you can get widevine l1 back if you lock your bootloader and repair it with their tool

I just received my device and successfully unlocked the bootloader. When I wanted to root my device I couldn't find my current ROM in XPERIFIRM, I need this rom to get the boot.img file. "Okay", I thought, "I just need to flash one of the ROMs available here and everything will be fine". So I could not in any way get or generate the ftf to flash on my device via flashtool, The flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can anyone give me a light? I really want to ROOT my Xperia 1 IV XQ-CT72 and keep Android 12.
About the current version, follow the number.
Version Number: 64.0.A.8.82
Is there any way to flash a new ROM that I don't know about?

Did something go wrong?
no thats correct now you need to install Fox's Magisk Module Manager

Gravity box wont work and may cause bootloop. And i think latest firmware is android 13. If you has CT72 i would suggest go for SEA version
Btw i forgot to say yesterday but use new flasher (google it from xda) to flash your firmware
