This is a step by step guide for those who want root privileges on their watches. First of all, thanks to @rbox for the modified recovery image, and thanks to @Chainfire for the rooting files. Great developers.
I´ve used the latest superSU beta (systemless rooting), only deleting from the script the superuser.apk.
I´m not responsible for any damage. Do it knowing what you´re doing and at your own risk.
1- You must be in android wear 6.0.1 version. Download and unpack the rooting_files.rar (3 parts, xda format restrictions) and press shift button while right mouse click on a blank space on the folder. In the menu, select open command window here.
2- Reboot your watch in fastboot mode (power off the watch and power on sliding your finger from left top corner to right down corner) (or use adb command "adb reboot bootloader"). Connect it in the charging craddle to pc. If yout bootloader is locked, run "fastboot oem unlock" (It will factory reset your watch). If not, continue.
3- [optional] Flash through adb the twrp287 base image with the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp287.img"
4- Flash the modified twrp with "fastboot flash recovery twrp300modif.img"
5- Select recovery mode from fastboot menu and enter in twrp.
6- Push the wearSU267.zip into the internal memory with command "adb push wearSU267.zip /sdcard"
7- In TWRP select Install option and flash the wearSU267.zip. You may see some errors, ignore them.
8- Reboot your watch
You should have root now! Try it with a su command in terminal or any app.
I´ve included the original TWRP 3.0.0 image if anyone want to flash it after all.
Due to the new /system partition format, we cannot mount it in writable mode, so we cannot make changes inside at the moment, maybe someone can find a solution...
EXTRA: If you want change DPI, run this command: "adb shell wm density 180" (180 or whatever you want). The original value is 240 dpi.

Nice tutorial! Currently flashing, I'll see if it works in a few minutes
Update: NICE! Worked like a charm!
Seeing as Busybox is used by almost all android wear apps would you not add it to the files? Also why are you flashing an old recovery and then the proper working one? Just flash the working one
Funciona de lujo, grax!

In the TWRP page it says the 3.0.0 image is an update, and must be flashed over an old version:
"TWRP Install (Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed)"
https://twrp.me/devices/lggwatch.html
Anyway, it does not have effect, it is a precaution.
I´ve installed busybox after all through apk, but it´s not necessary for get root commands working

Em that's if your updating via recovery through fastboot your completely overwriting the recovery partition if you know how flashing works therefore the old version just disappears after flashing new version

Will send you stock system.img, and you can use invisiblek's kernel or stock boot.img cause they are both working fine just format the others (/data and /cache)
Guide to rooting infocus Epic 1 (for windows) for build 00.
This method is only tested on build 00IN_1_360 only. If you are on the older build, first update your phone to build 00IN_1_360 then proceed. Check Build number in settings->about phone.
Proceed at your own risk, I will not be help responsible if your phone bricks, Your warranty will be void after this. Also all phone data will be lost including data on internal memory like photos, etc after these steps so take necessary backups.
Prepare your system
1. Extract and Install MTK Driver Auto Installer v5.1632 (google it)
2. Install Phone F Driver (from phone CD-emulation/driver folder upon connecting your phone)
3. Minimal ADB and Fastboot installer v.1.4.2 (from xda)
4. Download latest SuperSU flashable zip file from here
5. Download twrp-3.0.3-0-epic1-noveritynoencrypt.zip from here, extract in the folder where you have installed adb and fastboot
6. Download noencryptnoverty_boot.zip from attachments and extract to folder where you have installed adb and fastboot
Steps to root:
1. Enable Developer options in phone settings (goto phone settings -> about phone -> tap build number 7 times)
1a. Enable OEM unlock
1b. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to computer, wait for hardware to auto install
3. open cmd as administrator
3a. goto the directory where adb and fastboot is installed
4. type command:
4a.
adb reboot bootloader
(Wait for phone to come in fastboot)
4b.
fastboot OEM unlock
(press vol up key on phone)
4c.
fastboot flash boot noveritynoencrypt.img
4d.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4e.
fastboot reboot
You will get an phone orange state prompt, do not worry its normal. Phone may reboot once or twice. Wait for phone to normal bootup.
5. open cmd and type command
5e.
adb reboot recovery
Phone will reboot in recovery i.e. TWRP
6. Tap on Keep system read-only. Do not swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for password, don't enter any press back.
7a. Tap Wipe -> Format Data. Come out to main menu, then click reboot and then recovery to restart recovery.
7b. Tap Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> Select Dalvik /ART, Cache, Data and Internal Storage. This is important step, as these partitions are encrypted at the moment, so if you flash anything the phone rom may corrupt.
8. Come out and then Tap Reboot -> System
9. Once the phone is back, turn off the phone. Then power on with vol up key pressed to boot into TWRP
10. Tap Backup, select all partitions, select phone storage (SD card preferred) and take backup (optional step but highly recommended )
11. Now tap install, goto the location where you had copied SuperSU zip file, flash it.
Congratulations your Phone is rooted. Reboot, see SuperSU icon in app drawer.
Many thanks to @mujammil786 for providing stock files and @Bornstud for testing twrp builds
Special thanks to our devs @DespairFactor for modifying boot.img to disable Encryption and Verity and @kirito9 for creating TWRP for our device. Without their help, it wouldn’t have been possible.
MODS
(Take backup of your ROM/Data before applying any mods)
Viper4Android (Advanced Sound Enhancement)
Hugely Customizable and better than MaxxAudio or Dolby Atmos IMHO
Now working on our device Infocus Epic 1
Need to flash the 2 attached files via TWRP before installing the official app from HERE. Although latest version v2.5.0.5 also works, but i personally prefer v2.4.0.1 (busybox required)
(Note the attached files are not my work, they are picked from here and here. Say thanks to original contributors.)
Good V4A profile: HERE
Extract it to ViPER4Android Directory in internal Storage
Xposed
Needs no introduction. Every android enthusiast should know what it is. Anyway if you are new, xposed opens limitless ROM customization(s) and useful features via 100s of its modules.
Installation:
1. Flash framework xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip from HERE via TWRP. Reboot after installation will take long time (~10 - 15 minutes)
2. Install app XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk from HERE
Restoring phone back through SUT
If you are stuck somewhere or want to restore the phone factory state (like for when giving to repair), you can restore the phone back via SUT
Link for build 1280: https://firmwarefile.com/infocus-epic-1
Also dont turn off your phone as suggested in sut readme file. It only works when your phone is on. Check below vid for more instructions

Reduce battery consumption & phone temperature
Found an interesting thread, mod works on our device also
https://forum.xda-developers.com/red...tings-t3687897
I have tried both flavor 1 and flavor 2 over the past week. Results with flavor 1 were positive in the beginning but for some reason standby drain shot up after 3-4 days, not sure what the reason was.
On flavor 2, I have just disabled MTK perfservice by setting
ro.mtk_perfservice_support = 0 in build.prop
Yes this limits the a72 core to 1.5ghz, but i have noticed phone is heating less and need for charging the phone has reduced. I haven't noticed much drop in performance either, but that might be as I don't use intensive apps.

I've managed to unpack nb0 file through a688 tool, however its only successful in unpacking few files before it crashes with some array size error, but the good thing is I was able to extract the scatter file for this phone before it happened.
Anyway, I was hopeful that I would be able to make backup of Stock ROM and Recovery through it via spflash tools however as it turns out, spflash tool is giving me error while doing readback BROM ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL (0xC0060003)
Not sure how to fix it, i've updated my drivers as well as i'm using latest version of spflash tool (SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_Win)

I'm trying to root Infocus Epic 1, its a good budget phone with decent specs. Availability is only in India, not sure other regions. Anyway I'm having hard time to root it, since not much support is available. But so far, I have tried below things:
1. Tried to root with Kingroot, doesn't work .Probably because it is very new version of Marshmallow with Oct'16 patch level and kernel dated in dec 16.
2. Tried to generate scatter file via MTK Droid tool v2.5.3, after enable USB debugging in phone. The phone get detected in the tool, however create scatter file option in block map is disabled I've read somewhere, it might be due to MTK6797 (Helios x20) is quite new and is not yet fully supported by tool yet. Not sure if its true though. But if I can generate scatter file, I can extract phone's stock recovery via SPFlash tool readback to try a hand at porting twrp/cwm with some help..
3. Downloaded stock Infocus Epic 1 firmware in hope for recovering stock recovery.img or MTK scatter file, however on unpacking the firmware package, I found it contains unknown image file of nb0 extension which is it to be flashed via SUT Tool. Not sure how to unpack this file
Any more ideas, how can i atleast start with my quest to root/put custom recovery on this phone ? @Romeotamizh Pls help.

I like this phone and the only thing lacking is Root, Hope someone will do it
I hope so too. However, it seems its not that straight forward anymore i.e. communicating with SPFlash tool on newer MTK chipsets. I was going through guides for LeTV x620 (also with MT6797), not sure but it seems they require authentication file now for the process, which might not be available for our phone.
I already tried all the other download agents like DA_PL.bin, DA_PL_High.bin, DA_BR.bin in flash tool through which this LeTV is able to communicate, it's same error for us with all.
Also other curious thing, I was unable to run any fastboot commands on this phone. The phone gets detected in fastboot when put in fastboot mode (vol - + power) i.e. I get output on fastboot devices.
However If i try to run any commands like fastboot oem get-bootinfo or fastboot oem device-info I get error message remote command unknown

If it's not detected maybe its related to your drivers. I've installed the following drivers
1. Try installing the Phone F Driver (from phone CD-emulation upon connecting)
2. MTK Driver Auto Installer v5.1632.00 (you can get from needrom)
3. Minimal ADB and Fastboot installer v.1.4.2 (from xda)
Run cmd as administrator:
adb reboot bootloader
When phone reboots in fastboot mode

You should see your phone being detected from above.

Hello everyone. I started this thread because I don't think I've seen anything with this issue on my specific phone on this forum. Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Anyway, I'm having issues installing a ROM with adb sideload on TWRP recovery.
I got the ROM and the recovery image from blox2.com (I would post the links but apparently the forum doesn't allow me to...)
Everything works fine, I'm able to boot into TWRP recovery and inititiate the adb sideload, but the process gets stuck when it reaches 28% and throws the error message:
serving: 'BLOX2core-v1.1.1-31217.zip' (~28%) * failed to read command: Success

In case this has anything to do with ADB version, I'm using Debian and my adb version is 1:7.0.0+r1-4
If you need any more info, please ask.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, an update.
I now tried installing the ROM through TWRP's own installing option, but TWRP crashes and reboots a couple of seconds after the install is initiated.

I'm would assume the bootloader was unlocked? Are you able to make a nandroid backup? And have you tried flashing twrp to the phone ?
Where do you have the files located at? Is it on the SDcard or on the flash drive?
does this work?
fastboot oem unlock
or
fastboot flashing unlock
Should also erase/wipe everything except system/recovery/boot...
Also hope you made a nandroid backup first with the fastboot boot recovery.img, then booting into TWRP and backup. to flash drive. Need MTP disabled for some to not reboot.
Also try with the new TWRP where the reboot has been fixed.. and which version 16/2 or 64/4 BLU X2 or mini?

The bootloader was indeed unlocked.
I haven't tried flashing TWRP to the phone. Would this make it work? I'm kind of scared of having a recovery image that crashes whenever I try stuff. Can I restore the stock recovery in case anything happens?

64/4 BLU X2 version.
I can't find BLU Life One X2 on the official TWRP website, the only version I tried was on blox2.com, which I think is a modified version of 3.0.2-0.
Problem fixed!
I flashed the stock firmware using QFIL 1.0.2. Thanks so much to everyone who helped!
QFIL
I got the QFIL rom from blox2.com
When you say fixed, do you mean TWRP is now working? Or that you were able to flash the stock back? Did you already take the BLOX2 OTA update?
Trying to figure out if the update had anything to do with this default rebooting on /system being made writable.. Also did you make a nandroid backup?
QFIL is now on 1.0.0.3

I was able to flash the stock back, but via QFIL, not TWRP. The rebooting issue still persists.
I didn't make a nandroip backup, will get to it now.
Oh, I'm actually now trying to fix the rebooting issue. I think it might be a write protection, like the one HTC has. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV3YaMBnEYI
I really really need to be able to modify the system partition because the phone comes with a lot of crawpare and even some malware (https://www.cyberscoop.com/android-malware-china-huawei-zte-kryptowire-blu-products/)
FotaProvider installs some apps without your consent like Uber and some games and supposedly sends some info, too.
When I try to remove it with root uninstallers, the phone reboots. I though I had gotten rid of this issue by reflashing the ROM but apparently not...
I only flashed TWRP to cache and booted to it and flashed super SU, then used root essentials to remove some of the bloatware. But noticed supersu was gone now. It was able to remove or disable some of the stuff without rebooting and then later manually rebooting it. I disabled the apps and then removed it, so I think even the update now has the stuff but still disabled. The update also supposedly removes one of the apps that sent data back.

I only flashed TWRP to cache and booted to it and flashed super SU, then used root essentials to remove some of the bloatware. But noticed supersu was gone now. It was able to remove or disable some of the stuff without rebooting and then later manually rebooting it. I disabled the apps and then removed it, so I think even the update now has the stuff but still disabled. The update also supposedly removes one of the apps that sent data back.

How do I install this update?
Also, I tried removing some system apps with Root Essentials but it still rebooted.

For the time being you need to boot into TWRP and manually remove apps using ADB. We are currently working on patching the kernel to allow /system to be mounted RW sAo that you can use apps to remove system apps. In the mean time use Blox2core as it has been fully debloated.

Sounds great! Looking forward to it.
I can't install Blox2core since TWRP reboots when I try to install it or even wipe the /system partition though. Some people mentioned TWRP 3.0.3 fixed this issue.

We have a new tool that you can use to flash TWRP and root. All auto matic. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
[TOOL]Draco’s Blox2Autoroot - http://wp.me/p8gYUZ-5x
Afterwards you'll be able to flash Blox2core
Also I was unaware of this TWRP 3.0.3 for the blox2. The only one that has been ported has been 3.0.2 last I checked.
I would say disable MTP in TWRP options and developer options as well. dirst disabled it in developer options before I found out that did not stop the kernel rebooting the phone when /system became writable. I had not installed the oct update BLU sent out and maybe that makes a difference? Although the QFIL should also have the original boot/kernal image? so not sure what is going on..
If that dont stop it we need a new kernal.. I think I have the original kernal/boot saved. If anyone wants to see if that fixed the reboot.
twrp gave a MD5 of it..

The OTA update showed up one day and it installed it.. For the longest time I ignored it but I suppose someone hit ok on it.. But SuperSU seemed to have vanished before that I think. Spending time on 2 other problem phones so this one is not a priority since it works very well comparatively. I love it though it is heavy as a brick. Even my N5x case fits with a little coaxing. Although the DPI setting is set much higher like for a HD screen and not FHD. Maybe we can change it in build.prop to fix it. The N5x has much smaller icons and letters and actually fit 5 icons to a row although they both have the same density screen.. BLU has much better touch though and is far brighter and richer.

The 2 boot images ARE different.. But you should first try to write a backup back to itself and see if there are problems and guess I dont have the previlage of attaching files just yet on here.

This guide is outdated now. Please refer to the thread OPs of the respective projects.
Hi all, I am starting this thread with the very reason to educate and help newbies as well serve as a resource guide that could be used by all. I will try my best to update this thread often. You can ask any question regarding Moto Z2 Play aka albus here. Our XDA Community will try to help you. Make sure you always read before posting the same queries. If you're stuck in a problem, make sure you provide us with as much as information of what you were exactly doing and what happened along with your device details ofcourse.
Also remember that unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty. Relocking it won't give you back your warranty. If you are visiting a service center for repairs of any kind, they will come to know that you have unlocked your bootloader (you put a code on their site lol). But yea you can try your luck by visiting them after you lock your bootloader using the fastboot firmware.
No one, but you are responsible for whatever you do to your device. If something happens due to your ignorance or lack of backups or knowledge, only you are responsible, not the developer, not the XDA Community. Just read the respective posts, search (at XDA and at Google) before posting and you might probably find answers. Cheers.
Setting up adb/fastboot on your system:
These drivers are quite essential for every android user.
How to use?
Windows:
Minimal Fastboot/ADB: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
Just install the setup. Reboot your phone in bootloader mode (Power off and then press and hold power + vol down simultaneously) and connect via USB cable. On your computer, navigate to the directory where you installed them. Press shift+right click and choose Open Command Window / Powershell here. Type:
Code:
fastboot devices
If you get a serial number, fastboot is working.
For adb to work enable Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging on your device. Open Settings app on your device and go to About Phone section. Next, tap 7 times on Build Number and get the Developer Options enabled.
Now authorize USB Debugging by allowing it (Choose something like Always trust)
Type this on your command window / powershell window:
Code:
adb devices
Again it should return a serial number.
If both these fail, you might consider rebooting your computer or even installing (MDM) motorola device manager. Make sure you don't have any crappy or outdated drivers. (Always keep your system upto date ) Anything else, you'll have to google up things.
Motorola Device Manager:
For more info regarding adb/fastboot open this: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html
Linux users might need to install it from their respective package manager repos, Ubuntu for example:
Code:
sudo apt install android-tools-adb && sudo apt install android-tools-fastboot
Arch Linux on the other hand:
Code:
yaourt -S android-tools --noconfirm
Similarly for the other distros.
Commands are the same. fastboot needs to be used with sudo.
Unlocking the bootloader:
Unlocking Bootloader
>>> Unlocking Bootloader will overwrite any data stored on your device, backup your files before proceeding <<<
Unlocking Bootloader:
1- Register
Head to Motorola website https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b and register your E-Mail ID.
Open Settings app on your device and go to About Phone section. Next, tap 7 times on Build Number and get the Developer Options enabled.
Head back to Main Settings Menu and go to Developer Options and switch the 'Allow OEM Unlock' option.
2- Getting Unique ID for each device
Reboot to Bootloader/fastboot mode (power off the device, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
On your computer, go to the directory where you installed the adb/fastboot drivers (or make sure this folder is in your $PATH to acess fastboot and adb system wide).
Open CMD/Powershell/bash in here. (Windows users might need to Shift+Right Click and choose "Open Command/Powershell Window here" , Linux users can open terminal as per their respective distro. Now , type
Code:
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will get something like this:
On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be:
Code:
(bootloader) 0240540162024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373as313630330df332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be
Code:
Code:
INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
INFO30373731363031303332323239#BD00
INFO8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
INFO0000000
Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:
Code:
0240540162024205#4C4D355631323030373as313630330df332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
3- Unlocking the device:
Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the specific field on the Motorola website, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?”
NOTE: If your device is unlockable, a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will now appear at the bottom of that page. Click on it and wait for the unique code to be sent to your mail.
After you got the code type the following :
Code:
fastboot oem unlock your_code
and wait your device to reboot !
Flashing TWRP Recovery:
IMPORTANT NOTE :
At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda.
Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well
If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to format data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data
Downloads : http://www.androiddevs.net/downloads/
Keep the twrp recovery file (.img extension) in the adb/fastboot folder
Reboot to bootloader, open cmd/bash and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
(if you want permanent flash) or
Code:
fastboot boot filename.img
(if you want temporary
boot)
Now you must flash the verity disabler zip.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
After the twrp is done and you have successfully rebooted to system, it is a good time to reboot to TWRP again and backup your phone. (System and Boot most necessary)
Flashing Stock ROM:
Will be updated as soon as the fastboot version of the stock ROM is available.
Unbricking your hard bricked/dead device:
Connect your device via the usb cable, extract this zip file to the adb/fastboot folder and then run:
blankflash.bat file if on windows; the .sh file if on linux.
Once this is completed, you must flash the full stock firmware via fastboot. This is MANDATORY.
Blankflash zip: http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/albus/blankflash/blankflash.zip

please forgive the ignorance, but is this device fully unlockable in the same fashion that Nexus devices are, similar method if i'm reading this correctly? Im very used to unlockable bootloaders on VZW

Yeah, I am not sure what is going on this time around with the VZW variant. Since the Droid Z was bootloader locked and the unlocked Z wasn't (but not VZW compatible) I am almost expecting the same here, but I keep being told that the unlocked version of the Z2 will work on Verizon so maybe they just don't care anymore. I mean, the unlocked Nexus 6 and VZW Nexus 6 were pretty much the same phone too, and both were bootloader unlockable.
The only thing that gives me pause from going out now and getting the VZW version vs the unlocked model (whenever its slated to come out) is that Motorola's Bootloader Unlock page doesn't have it listed (yet). Either it can be and they are behind on updating the list, or it can't... at which point the unlocked one will be listed with a (Except VZW Model) like the other phones have. But... if either version works on VZW... what's the point of making one unlockable and the other not? Seems like a waste of time.... of course VZW's past decisions on phones don't make sense in some aspects.
All I know is... I want one of these if they are unlocked. Once the keyboard mod is released I will be back to the nerdy bliss that is a sliding keyboard and making this phone the spiritual successor to the Droid 4.

I have same issue yesterday and recovered by flashing Dm-verity and Forced Encryption Disabler via TWRP.
I think this issue is caused because SuperSU is NOT flashed correctly. Thus TWRP modifies system-area without disabling dm-verity, and results bootloop.
I have solved bootloop with disabler, but failure of installing SuperSU has not solved yet. Disabler seems no effect for FE...
SuperSU shows error message as below while flashing.
Code:
- Extracting ramdisk
--- Failure, aborting
As far as googleing this message, moto Z users have met same issue.
Ultimate solution is to extract, modify and rewrite boot.img:.

Start TWRP, and you can transfer zip file from PC by using "adb push"
"adb sideload" may work too.

As I wrote before, I have failed both of 54e6a79 and latest.
Error message on TWRP is same.
Have you met this message but rooted successfully after boot?
Today I tried system-mode SuperSU, and met boot failure which continues to show Motorola/lenovo logo.
It is different from dm-Verity failure (which shows unlock warning).
Stuck in TWRP, Help
I have successfully flashed the TWRP but now it is looping at TWRP and when try to do factory reset, in just seconds it is boot again and shows TWRP main screen again, moreover storage shows about 50000 mb in internal memory, secondly my memory card is not accessible, selection is not working only shows internal memory. As I think at this stage my bootloader(stock) is fine, original stock recovery is replaced by the TWRP 3110 . My factory Android rom is still there in my phone because twrp inernal memory option shows about 50000 mb space captured in internal storage. I have clear delvik and cache but all fails, how I can get the OS by the TWRP. I assume if my old OS has been erased then twrp should have give the "no OS install" massage but this is not happening in my case. Any help...... I am not doing something more due to complete device failure in this stage mainthing is this no factory rom image is available yet, very annoying issue.... regards
I wanted to make sure everyone read this part first so that you know it's critical to backup because it happened to me figuring things out. If for any reason you are stuck in a boot loop, just reload twrp recovery and restore boot.img that you backed up for an easy quick fix.
Install drivers and adb on your PC.
Open command prompt or search 'cmd'.
Navigate to the directory with adb.exe
Download and store TWRP 2.2.2 (preferred) in the same directory where adb is located. Recommend renaming recovery file to recovery.img
Enable usb debugging on device by going to settings > about > and click on MIUI version repeatedly until developer settings are enabled. Go back and select additional settings to enable usb debugging.
Run the command: adb devices - to verify if able to connect to device (the serial number of your device will populate if so.
Run the command: adb reboot bootloader and phone device should say "Fastboot" in blue font
Run the command: fastboot boot recovery.img
Recovery will show in Chinese, click on the bottom right button to select English
May require to enter your default password you use to unlock your phone normally.
Click backup and be sure to backup system, boot, and recovery most of all so it's easy to recover your device moving forward.
Download and save SuperSU (I have been unsuccessful in getting Magisk to work at this time) onto storage device from PC to MI 8 that should appear with your Internal storage
Click on "Mount" in TWRP and unselect read-only
Click "Install" and flash SuperSU then reboot (my device rebooted one time and fully boot up the 2nd time so you're not alarmed)

TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-2-0703-t38126005
Appreciate any feedback, ideas, thoughts, or suggestions where all can collaborate and expand where we help each other further. Look forward to the future development of the MI 8 folks! Please note, I wanted to share the method that seemed to work best for me, but please be aware each and every single MI 8 device is not always exactly the same and the end result may vary and I'm not held accountable or responsible should you choose to follow the directions listed above. However, I wanted to share this information to help avoid any frustration going forward and save you time.
p.s. - If someone could help me figure out how to get twrp recovery to hold and not end up being replaced by mi recovery I would be most grateful as this has been an issue for me (I tried flashing, booting, and installing the img through twrp with no success). Thank you.
Hello thanks for your guide but i think we first need to unlock bl And for the twrp recovery to stick and not to be replaced by xiaomi recovery we need to flash something called "dm-verity " it basically removes that check, which replaces any other recovery by xiaomi recovery
Have a nice day and thanks for your work
I thought so as well, unfortunately I just haven't had much luck with dm verity which led to a soft brick on my device. I'll have to look over the code as it may vary in comparison to other xiaomi devices.

My friend i changed to the Xiaomi eu and everything worked. You dont have to flash the Chinese Version first you can go from Global to Xiaomi.eu. Just dont forget to do FORMAT data and not only Wipe Data.
