Hi all, I tried to root my a3 by following the guide (method 2):
How to Root Xiaomi Mi A3 using Magisk (Android 11)
This guide for rooting Xiaomi Mi A3 will be split into two different methods, one that uses TWRP and another by flashing the patched boot image using
magiskapp.com
and I noticed that when I restarted the wifi and the sound of the phone were not working. I then realized that the guide was not accurate and that I was wrong to load the boot.img because my version (V12.0.16.0.RFQEUXM) was not present in the recommended downloads and I downloaded and used version V12.0.2. 0 certainly giving the problems I later found myself in.
I have already tried to do a factory reset but nothing. Can you advise me what to do beyond the root in order to have the phone working again?

You can download the latest recovery ota for your device and install it using adb sideload or sdcard through stock recovery
Fixed everything by loading the recovery note. Thank you
I made exactly same mistake, i fixed it with proper boot.img from recovery rom for my version.

Download the latest recovery file and put it either on your sdcard or adb folder in pc. Boot into recovery mode and select apply update either by sdcard or adb sideload

I don't know if this is what you said, but I tried to download the stock ROM of my xiaomi poco x3 pro, I runned adb reboot sideload, and then adb sideload <stock rom>.zip. I wiped data because if not, it gets stuck on boot logo, and then started normally, but I still don't have wi-fi nor audio. What I did wrong? Thanks.

Hi
I've ordered the redmi note 2 and would like to install a custom rom on it when I receive it. Can somebody tell me what the easiest method to root the phone and install TWRP is? There seems to be so many different ways and I'm finding it abit confusing. Also do I need to unlock the bootloader before rooting?
Thanks

Flashed a china dev rom was an easier way without using PC. But first to need to wipe your phone. Then installed flashify to flash twrp.img. With twrp, you can flashed any compatible rom you like.
for the redmi note from the wife who only needed root I used Kingroot
And I wanted root and TWRP so I used Windroid toolkit
thanks for the replies. Windroid seems pretty straightforward, I'll give that a go once I get my phone.
You can flash xiaomi.eu latest ROM and you'll get TWRP 3.0. For root you can flash any SuperSU official zip using TWRP

you mean this one? http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-2-25.30340/
that says TWRP needs to be installed before that rom can be flashed?

Yes that one..
"Our ROMs now contains TWRP which will install it automatically and overwrite your MiRecovery (If you still use it)"
"Version 6.2.25 still can be installed via MiRecovery but it will overwrite it to TWRP"
I use xiaomi.eu ROM/Based ROM's because it has my language
ah ok, thanks mate
So I tried updating via updateer with the rom from xiaomi.eu but that failed it said something about the file signature. So I tried the windroid method, the computer picked up the device no problem and it was weorking well. I flashed TWRP and Super SU and completely wiped everything on the phone. Now I'm trying to sideload a rom using windroid, but when I go to the ADB sideload option in TWRP it just stays stuck on "starting ADB sideload feture..." Windroid seems to recognise that the device is in sideload mode but I can't flash anything as it just stays stuck.
Any ideas?
Never mind, my PC picked up the phone while it was in recovery and I was able to just copy the rom file over
I'm having major problems with TWRP, and I need help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with a properly unlocked bootloader (MDL), rooted, that has had a working version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 and running an older version of Cyanogen.
I'm overhauling the phone, so the first thing I tried to do was to update TWRP.
Since TWRP v2.8.7 supports flashing itself, I booted into recovery and flashed the TWRP update (v3.2.1.0) directly through TWRP. No errors that I saw.
But when I try to boot into recovery, I now get "System Software Not Authorized By AT&T Has Been Found On Your Phone". Fortunately, I can still boot normally - it's only recovery that I'm locked out of.
In trying to fix this, I tried re-flashing TWRP with three different methods:
1. I tried to flash TWRP again through the TWRP app. But I get "Flash Failed".
2. I tried Odin and got "FAIL! (Auth)"
3. I tried flashing v3.2.2.0 using the dd method. This I was able to do without any errors, but I'm still locked out of recovery mode with that same "System Software Not Authorized By AT&T Has Been Found On Your Phone" error.
Help?
Try connect to computer and execute:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxx-xxx.img
Everything should be good to go.
Note: ALL TWRP settings will be reset.

ADB works fine for me, but fastboot does not. It says "waiting for any device". From what I understand, this is a common issue with Samsung phones. I'm using Windows 10, if that helps.
However, I came across a bug report for TWRP here, that reports the exact same problem from 3.0.0.0, and it's still open. That tells me that this may be a general issue with TWRP that they never bothered to fix.
So on a hunch, I tried re-flashing v2.8.7 using the dd method (since that's the only one I can get to work). And SUCCESS! I can now boot into recovery again!
So here's what I need to know:
1. Is there any way to get the latest version of TWRP to work on this phone?
2. Is it safe to flash a current version of LineageOS using this version of TWRP (v2.8.7)?
I'm really wary about that second question, because the last thing I want to do is brick my phone because an old version of TWRP doesn't know how to work with a new version of Lineage/Android. (This phone currently has KitKat on it)
You need Rashr to do this. You can find this app on the Google Play Store which can flash images in your system.
1. This version of TWRP should be able to flash modern LineageOS.
2. Using the above method provided should get you up and running the latest TWRP.

I finally found an explanation and solution - it would appear that TWRP 3.x does not have the Loki exploit applied. So nothing 3.0+ will work unless it's been Lokied.
Fortunately, the current versions can be Loki patched, so once that's done, they'll install and work properly. Whew!

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.

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.

Hey guys, so I had the forced update to Android 10 about 1 month ago, and I lost root, which I didn't found about until I tried installing something today.
As this isn't my first time losing root I just followed the steps I always do on this guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mi-a3-magisk-t3958509) and I managed to successfully install TWRP, but the phone is now stuck on the orange MI logo when I reboot to system. Someone pls help!
Edit: For anyone curious, I just used the Fix Recovery Bootloop inside TWRP and it worked! I still don't have root tho...
Edit 2: After trying to flash Magisk installer for the second time I determined it to be the problem. Can anyone help me with that?

Afaik the only module I HAD installed before the forced update was Smali patcher for POGO. But I can't check the modules now because the option isn't there in the manager.

Well, the module "only" patches framework from the phone, so you're trying to boot Android 10 system with Android 9 framework. It doesn't get uninstalled automatically even if you remove Magisk from boot image.
Either flash Magisk uninstaller from TWRP or flash correct patched boot file, connect phone to the PC, type in this command and reboot the phone.
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
Hi I recently updated my Mi A3 to May Android 10 update i.e. v11.0.15 . Before this it was rooted with TWRP and Magisk as now both of these softwares are gone due to update. Now i want to flash TWRP first but unable to install it as I changed the active slot to A (current B) as per old method but nothing happened and phone stucked at Fastboot screen. This thing really concerns me as if I flash twrp.img at slot B, does it boot properly? Other way around to root Mi A3 using Magisk manager by patching boot.img of V11.0.15. Where can i get this and is it a reliable method without flashing custom recovery like TWRP? Can i flash any other good custom recovery?

Starting July im also facing the same issue. I restarted my phone but received a message that phone has been updated. Now TRWP and root is gone. I can't flast TWRP again on slot boot_a, also cannot flast twrp on boot_b. Stuck on Flashboot.
I was lucky to have the Stock boot img, i then flashed the Stock boot img on both slots a & b. But cannot flast TWRP anymore using ABD/fastboot

I only used the files from that link. I did not read it anything. But Thanks, you pointed this out.
This means that the next time I wipe data in TWRP, then I should first enable "use rm -rf instead of formatting" in TWRP settings
I have never tried 'wipe data' on this phone. But I'll remember this the next time I 'wipe data'. Thanks, you just saved me.
