Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global Rom but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx, due to support wifi 2.4 ghz only. (Because bluetooth interfering with wifi 2.4 Ghz and our device doesn't support 5ghz wifi)
Compare to MIUI, Havoc OS has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: no delay with wifi bluetooth interference
+ Doesn't have bloatware, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk and root.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI and extract to get system
From Official Havoc OS here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/a64-ab/ (Newer Version)
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature. If it doesn't work, then try an alternative way:
Open /vendor/bin/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and add the string:
Code:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 1 5
then reboot
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
How to Update
- Flash system image over, no wipe require. Just reboot.
Bugs
I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.
Additions
- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from https://vancedapp.com/; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here
- To fix Recording, from Misc features -> Force Timestamp Source, choose Clock boottime
And that's all. Now enjoy!
I gifted my sister this phone so i don't have device to test anymore. Still, sometime i'll test if i can. The guide still works so enjoy flashing!!!
Great. I've been using havocOs for almost two months now and it's great. Much quicker and smoother than stock miui. Only problem I've been trying to find a fix for is setting up a lock screen.
Thanks for sharing the dt2w module for magisk. Is there some sort of setting I need to mess with to get it to work? I've installed the module and activated it in magisk but dt2w still won't work. I also activated the dt2w setting that comes with havocOs 3.1 under " xiaomi features " but that never worked from the beginning.

Did you flash no_encrypt zip? It'll make set up screen password impossible because encryption is disable. I have clean flashed Havoc OS and confirm d2tw module working, despite i don't active the xiaomi option in setting.

There is a trick, you can enable encryption through Settings -> security -> Encryption and credentials then encrypt phone. If it doesn't work, then read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Or you can do the whole process again, clean flash and do as my thread. May be d2tw starts working.
Thank you sir
thanks a lot for this
can you tell me how to upgrade our 32bit os to 64bit

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

I've considered making a complete tutorial on installing recovery, root, & rom installation for this phone. Next time I go back to stock I probably will make a video. Until then you can definitely follow the tutorials on this forum to install a custom recovery and rom. Personally I would recommend installing OrangeFox recovery because TWRP has touchscreen issues sometimes.
You will have to unlock the bootloader first which takes 14 days if you have not already.
The tool to unlock the Bootloader is here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Once your bootloader is unlocked you're ready to install OrangeFox custom recovery, the files and instructions can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...t/orangefox-recovery-xiaomi-redmi-8a-t4032583
Once you have OrangeFox recovery installed you can follow this tutorial in this thread to install HavocOS rom or the other thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
Try it out and then come back and let us know what problems you run into

I used TWRP then moved to Orange Fox. Everything working fine, may be your screen is different. In d2tw module, there's a file called readme.md: Manual usage : - enable $ set-dt2w 1 - disable $ set-dt2w 0
Just try it -))))))))
Great GSI. I have this one problem though. I cannot backup anything from TWRP. Is it really normal because it's encrypted?

I'm getting the same error with attempting to make a back up in orangefox. After seeing you have the same problem now I'm assuming it is indeed a problem with encryption? I was able to make backups successfully before my phone was encrypted so I still have an old back up on my PC. However it would be nice to be able to make a new fresh back up.

That was weird. In stock ROM, I can back up the /data/media just fine even when encrypted. But after having Havoc OS, I cannot do that anymore. Tried on both TWRP and OrangeFox. I can, with an unencrypted phone, but I do not feel comfortable without a lockscreen. Tried all things I have researched on that error. Not one worked. Might as well just stick to Titanium Backup for backups.
Overall, great GSI. Loading is faster than on stock (with the internet too)! Though, I have another issue with regards to the locking of apps, so that the app would not be cleared. Speaking of clearing apps, it is tiring to scroll left just to see the "Clear All" option in Recents. Autostart too.
I know you are not the developer, but just letting you know my concerns.

Return to Un-modded Stock:
Bootloader unlocked and TWRP and Root included
The file is 4gb compressed to 2gb. Depending on your connection it will probably take 20 to 45 minutes to download.
Be Advised
Do your research before flashing anything, I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device, due to impatience and missed steps. However, rest assured this recovery is solid and will absolutely return your X720 or X727 to stock 5.8.21s (with the bootloader already unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted)
I was asked by several people if I would be willing to share a link to my Stock X727 recovery, I created this thread to provide the 5.8.21s recovery for anyone who is experiencing dire issues or is simply wanting to restore the last official x727 recovery, as a daily driver or as a means to troubleshoot their issues by returning to the fully stock rom, stock partitions and ready to start over.
Attached is my full stock TWRP Recovery for my Le Eco Pro 3, version: 5.8.21s (X727)
It is a clean TWRP backup recovery that I did not mod in any way other than unlocking the bootloader.
The link is to my Google Drive account. https://drive.google.com/open?id=19dtLHmE5bsx5mdtEXOns4Z5drpeY79Em
The file is compressed
Ensure that you perform a full wipe before applying this recovery, and that you know what you are doing before attempting to install.
Please note that any changes that you make to your device is done at your own risk.
Please use caution and make sure that you have TWRP recovery installed.
Be in the habit of booting back to recovery before booting to system....This is a good practice for ensuring TWRP stays installed
You must unpack the downloaded 7zip file, before it will be useable.
As long as you can boot into TWRP and have root access you will have the full permissions needed to install anything , and reverse any actions that do not workout as planned.
Personally, I make a backup of my existing installation prior to making any changes. I recommend that you do the same. If you buy an OTG adapter and a USB 3.0 drive it takes 5 minutes.
The steps provided on the following link can be used to install my recovery file. https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-return-to-stock-lock-bootloader-t3539513
When clicking the link, Google will attempt to scan. Click download to see the file, and then choose download if wanted.
Flash the appropriate files below for which ever device you own. ( X727 - Not needed, I provided the files anyway just in case.)

Great work just what I needed only one problem for me after I flash rom reboot system and then go back into TWRP there seems to be encryption on it and I can't install or backup or do much. Is there a password or way around this TWRP encryption?

I don't have time at the moment to provide lengthy instructions. With respect, I am providing a working, clean unlocked recovery file and pointing the way to instructions already that exist all throughout the LeEco forums.
But here's a quick answer
First use TWRP to reset your phone with a clean wipe, like you would for any ROM. Set developer options to the standard settings.
Next, your storage is encrypted. So it needs to be formatted. Use TWRP format the storage only. Then reboot to recovery.
****Important****
Don't ever format the storage without ensuring that you have a TWRP recovery. Always check the boxes to check if TWRP is installed before swiping. If you don't have a recovery you have a soft brick.
For you information, TWRP recovery is installed on it's on it very own partition. Formatting the storage does not affect the TWRP partition. Nonetheless, if you see the check box option, make sure they are checked.
I would suggest that you install the all in one tool : https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....pment/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611/amp/
This tool helps a lot and makes this stuff easier if are new to flashing custom Roms.. The all in one tool will update the Google driver and ADB installation on your computer.
After you format your drive you will have to flash the recovery from the PC. The links provided show all of the steps, or you can use the all for one tool. When your storage is encrypted you have no choice but to format.
If you use the all in one tool , see their page for instructions.
Read the instructions, then read them again. when learning something new it's a good idea to take notes.
Do not deviate from those steps or you could brick your phone.
There have been many people that have messaged me by PM who successfully returned to stock using my recovery, so it will work as long as you are careful and follow the instructions verbatim and you will be fine. Plus, It's a great idea to create your own working recovery before you begin.
Reminder, you are restoring to stock under you own discretion, I am not responsible if you miss a key step, have a power outage, use faulty cables or brick your device.
One final suggestion, when you install the recovery make sure your phone is fully charged. Unplug all unneeded external peripherals from your desktop computer.
Temporarily, disable antivirus, insert USB cable into the back of your desktop PC. Those outlets provide more power.
Please look past any typos, I typed this on little keys.

Could I just flash this in TWRP and keep twrp as my recovery?

No it will not keep twrp. follow the instructions in the link I provided above, there was no reason to duplicate the instructions on my post.
The difference is that my backup will restore your phone to Eui 5.8.21s with bootloader unlocked. You will need to reflash Twrp and root the phone with Magisk if you want to keep Twrp recovery ( that is what I would do) You will not be able to get OTA updates. But that doesn't matter because there probably not be any more OTA updates for the x727
Thank you, sir! This is great work. I was able to restore back to stock.
On the strange side of thing, my TWRP was saved. Previously, I was running AICP, but having multiple sound issues with it.
Here are the steps I followed to restore:
1) Move the file to OTG flash drive
2) Restore through TWRP via Restore
For my 727, it just reboot on logo, and doesn't go past it.

It takes a while.
For me, I had the quickest experience by flashing Magisk afterwards. The stock Rom , Rooted, and with Xposed is actually pretty sweet.

It should not take more than 10 minutes, and will usually startup in 5. I just now restored one of my X727's with this recovery, using the OTG method that the last person used and viola in worked so there's no doubt. I have always used ADB until now.
However, unlike the other poster, I did lose Twrp and had to reinstall it.
Always, Always Ensure Twrp is permanently installed
Make sure that you are on the latest version of Twrp : https://twrp.me/leeco/leecolepro3.html
Run Magisk, install Rom, Install Magisk again
Personally, I use the latest version of Magisk : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
You want a fully clean install before you flash.
Instructions are redundant of XDA: if you want something other than what you have read already: Click on my account history to find detailed instructions, ( I type too much, too often) Under most thanked, you can quickly find detailed instructions for installing , Roms, Rooting, Installing Twrp, How to wipe to avoid any issues.
Finally, if for some reason it still doesn't work, the file may have been corrupted.
Worst Case scenario : there are other recoveries available on XDA. Beware of the edited versions, they do not work as well as an unadulterated recovery.

It actually worked for second time without any issues. Just can't get the root, but will follow your instructions.
Hi just wondering does this rom pass safetynet out of the box?
what is the date of the security patch of this rom?
thanks

This recovery is stock EUI 5.8.21s. The exception is that the bootloader is unlocked, and it has TWRP Recovery instead of EUI Recovery. I do not remember which version of Magisk I Installed. I would advise that you flash the newest version of Magisk and you will not have any safety net issues.
If you are wanting a complete return to stock, you should instead reflash the stock Full Rom, which will reinstall EUI recovery and lockdown the bootloader.
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup.
Notes
The idea of this project treble is to separate the device-dependent part and the system.
The project treble requires a separate /vendor partition for device-dependent part. But unfortunately we do not have it. But we have a /cache partition, which takes about 200mb and there is a /hidden partition, which takes 50-60mb. 200mb is not enough for us, our vendor is about 450mb.
In the first edition I maded for the 825 tablet, I implement an original solution using separate files for the system and the vendor. But this solution was very difficult to understand. Now my good friend @bonuzzz suggested an idea to me using a compressed partition (squashfs with lz4 compression). With this method, our vendor takes 190-195mb and it is possible to write it to the /cache partition. And use the /hidden partition as a /cache.
Now the installation has become much easier, almost like installing the usual lineage.
Installation
1. install twrp version with treble support (this is my special twrp, based on 9.0 with my latest caf kernel with squashfs support)
2. download treble zip and flash it as usual zip. It will flash boot.img and /vendor partition (in /cache)
3. download any treble system (64bit System A-only) image from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
extract, you should get .img file, then copy to sdcard/extsd card and then flash image as system_image in twrp (Install - switch to Install Image and flash as System Image)
4. if you wanna back to stock firmware or lineage - you need flash normal twrp version and make full wipe or just flash stock firmware via odin

System images
You can use almost any system image from https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
Our version is: arm64 and a-only image
Magisk
You should use only latest 19.0 beta version from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Do not use 18.1 or early version - it's dnw, it will corrupt firmware or may be even corrupt recovery (need flash recovery again via odin)
Almost all firmware say about wrong vendor version. This is normal, just press OK.
let's experiment together!
Version for SM-T825 hope will come soon too. I have some ril issues.
Update boot.img
Wow! Thank you for the amazing work. I seriously can't believe no one hasn't gone crazy over this already.
How would I go about adding some libraries to my /vendor partiton now? I want to try a Samsung OneUI GSI image on my tablet but it requires additional libraries.
The files I want to add are in here: https://mega.nz/#!oi52TSTY!2Qy3WU7DjVmafs4zENPF6dlOsbY06JG5NuvsNeDTRn4
How did you build this file in the first place?
EDIT: I noticed that video playback does not work. I see the video starts to buffer, then some ghosting appears, and finally the app crashes (both YouTube and Vimeo). Also, camera apps seem to crash.

Maybe my /hidden & /cache partitions got corrupt somehow. I tried several GSIs and had the same issue. Thanks for confirming though.
Have you tried an GSIs from non AOSP-based images? Like OneUI or Xperia? I had trouble with those.

Could you let us know which treble rom you used, as I have the same issues with video playback on youtube.
I also want to throw out there I was on the Nougat bootloader when I tried this and had video playback issues. I have not tried it out on Oreo. I would imagine that could make a big difference.
deleted (it sucks none of the sensors function properly)
just installed RR but i think gps not working
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-arm64-32-b-t3891636
This is great!
Hey everyone, this project is big news! I am so happy that we can use Treble GSI, using the cache partition via squashfs is a really elegant way for this.
Almost everything works on my T820! I am using Phh-Treble AOSP 9.0 v112, MindTheGapps and Magisk. Even adoptable storage works, I have 256GB for internal storage now (it displays as 256/512 used when empty, but whatever).
The device is certified with magisk and custom prop value.
Contrary to the old Lineage OS from last year, there is no crazy wifi jitter, so Steam Link just works fine. I did not try out the recent Lineage 20190331, so I don't know if it was due to Lineage.
The rotation sensors are not working, for now I am using "Rotation Quick Setting" app from Play Store. Also, the camera app crashes, but I am not using it anyway.
Thank you so much @bonuzzz and @Valera1978 for making this possible! It is stable enough for daily use for me.
BTW, I came from Oreo bootloader, and have no problems regarding video playback (but I use MX Player, not stock)
Mhh.. I get constantly soft reboots if i try to install third party apps or restore my titanium backup on Havoc for treble. Fingerprint is also not working. Seems to be very unstable...
How could I go about adding files to this treblized /vendor partition? Presumably through the zip? If this is the case, how could I do that?
Fair warning to those wanting to try this: treble roms do install and run, but sensor support appears to be lacking. I can't get any input from gps, accelerometer, gyro, or light sensor.
@Valera1978 If anybody has any idea on how to add support for these to the (I'm assuming) vendor partition, I'd love any hint or direction.

Does Netflix work?
I get a bootloop after installing image and reboot to system. I have followed the instructions and got an error "Updater process ended with ERROR:7" installing the treble-16.0.zip. I flashed the custom TWRP using odin and using stock Pie. Did I do something wrong?
Hey all. Flashed all the relevant files in the relevant order and currently have a tablet sitting on the Tab S3 splash screen. How long does this normally take?
I flashed the custom TWRP,
Rebooted into Recovery,
Flashed the Treble .zip file,
Rebooted into Recovery,
Flashed the latest Havoc OS, then Magisk v20.3
then rebooted and it's stuck here.
Strange thing is, Windows has flashed up saying that it is "setting up Samsung_Android" while it's on the splash screen.
I come from the tweaked T825 ROM.
Anyone else had this issue? Should I have flashed stock first?

Well I've hard-bricked my tab by flashing the Treble zip so consider yourself lucky. I think you should flash ODIN stock and start from scratch. Flash ashyx's TWRP, follow the instructions there. DO NOT FLASH MAGISK. Then flash Treble TWRP, flash zip, reboot recovery, DO A WIPE DATA / FACTORY RESET, NOT FORMAT, Then flash Havoc OS a only or whatever. After that wipe cache/dalvik and let it boot to ROM, AND THEN flash magisk and stuff.
I hard bricked my tab because Magisk was installed on the device while I flashed Treble. So yeah DON'T DO THAT EITHER
By the way im so sorry for being 2 months late i saw this just now
Looking dangerous. I'd like to try it but uncertain procedures

would some of the issues seen by others be fixed if one started with non-rooted stock 9.0 and 9.0 bootloader (if it is different from that for Oreo)? thanks anyone
Hello, I am newbie yet so I am asking if anyone can explain the vendor's use, and what do I get from installing them.
Thank you for your time
Now almost roms here includes custom vendor. So you need firmware only.

Gapps(optional)

Miui decided to use MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE hence POCO F1 gets a modified vendor image for Android Pie-based Project Treble GSIs
what was the impact?
custom roms couldn't be flashed (booted) if you don't flash the modified vendor image from twrp
even today when most of the roms have their own vendor you still need to flash the vendor+firmware (atleast)
Developer Akhil Narang started collecting all releases at
https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
currently I am using 9.6.27-9.0 which is working best for me, 10.3.6 image made my batter drainage high (atleast i noticed)
I am on HAVOC2.8 and this is how i did it
1. flashed TWRP 3.3.1 unofficial (download it from HERE ) ref Reference - as official twrp has TOUCH driver issues. this one worked with me very well
2. I wiped /data, /system then
3. flashed VENDOR.zip from HERE
4. FLASHED CUSTOM ROM (i use HAVOC2.8)
5. FLASHED DFE HERE - REFERENCE
6. FLASHED GOOGLE APPS ( GAPPS.ORG) ( ARM64>9.0MicroPackage)
7. Flash Kernel ( OPTIONAL- havoc uses shadow kernel , i feel optimus drunk kernel is better, battery and 4g connectivity) even Franco Kernel is very good
8. FLASHING MAGISK19.3
9. when i was on havoc2.7, by using MIGRATE, it made flashable zip of my APPS+DATA, stored in internalStorage, and now I will FLASH that file., Mine size goes to 2gb you can get it from HERE
10. WIPE CACHE/DELVIK
11. REBOOT
fire reboot may go in to bootloop and then second reboot may take a while and finally you should see Pixel Setup asking google accounts and info etc
-----------------------
extraa
once after you finish setup! don't RESTORE APPS from PLAYSTORE, (download only license apk, in my case I have purchases many apps from playstore and saperate license info is always appear in intial setup! SELECT THOSE ONLY)
ONCE playstore is DONE downloading all your selected (fewer) apps, and MAGISK ROOT is working...... put device on AIRPLANE MODE
FROM DROP DOWN Notification panel, CLICK MIGRATE, and it will prompt you what do you wana restore from your previouce ROM to newly flashed HAVOC ..APPS+SETTINGS+PERMISSION+DATA etc - migrate restoration may take upto 30 mins,
once done, uninstall from system and reboot device!
REMEMBER I DONOT RECOMEND MIGRATE TRICK FOR WHATSAPP, it doesn't work properly and NOTIFICATION ISSUES with BLANK DP observed by me whenever I forcely re-instated whatsapp by migrate!

And do I need to install this image every time I flash a new ROM?

Flashing custom roms will not wipe anything, so the vendor is still there. And firmwares too.
Hello community, so I have successfully done it as in title,
but I still have some steps which not very clear and would hope xda community could enlighten me about it.
so my steps are like this:
1. unlock bootloader with Mi unlock tool
2. flash stock MIUI10.3.8 android 9 rom
2.1 transfer 'Disable force encryption treble' and 'Magisk 19.4' to phone storage
3. fastboot, adb flash twrp 3.2.3-1, boot into twrp 3.2.3-1
4. install the 2 zip files in twrp
reboot system, and it went through..
I know I was lucky, so got some questions here:
1. TWRP mention it's necessary to do dm-verify disable. but I review seems I never did it and got no warning message or error about it. I wonder reason for this? is it because I never modify system partition anyway.
2. 'Disable force encryption treble' file has Magisk built in. I was surprised to see it in log, but nevertheless went to flash higher version 19.4 file. all went through I wonder any issue could be caused from this.
3. I review and realize didn't do the 'wipe data/cache' step before install the 2 zip files. It went through without issue surprisingly.. I wonder the reason for this.
3.1 and if I follow the guide to wipe data and cache first, the 2 zip files will still be there? kind of weird not sure how the emulated storage works..
3.2 Is this 'Disable force encryption treble' file step necessary? I read TWRP can auto settle this encryption thing in newer versions.
and I also wonder whether it means my current phone state is 'not encrypted' state. I check in settings 'encrypt with lock screen password' is off.
Thanks in advance guys

You followed and old guide.
The latest stable for the poco is 11.0.6 (Android 10)
and the latest magisk is 20.3
Dfe is needed only if you don't want encryption. Otherwise it's not.
The question is what do you want to do.
Custom ROMs/stock ROMs, Android 9/10 there's a different procedure for each one.

Thanks for your reply. Yep I used an older version as I needed something proven working. I'm fine with just MIUI10 android 9 and magisk 19.x.
Do you know about the Dm-verify thing, is it optional also?

Keeping dm-verity is an extra barrier for your device to not be exploited.
If you don't have any reason to turn it off, leave it as it is.
The procedure is very simple. DFE or OFOX are NOT required. I myself flashed TWRP on an encrypted device and it boots and works as expected. Also twrp does not go away if you follow the steps correctly. No format needed either. Just remember your password.
0. First of all an unlocked bootloader is required. If this is your first time, go to miui.com/unlock. Backup your personal data before unlocking.
1. On windows install ADB DRIVERS and download PLATFORM-TOOLS and TWRP. Also download Magisk and move it to the phone, or to a type C usb stick if the device is encrypted.
2. In Developer Options Enable USB Debugging, then reboot to fastboot (Vol Down + PWR Button).
3. Connect the device to PC. Extract the platform tools folder and in it press Shift+Left Click and open a powershell window. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [twrp version name]
4. Type fastboot reboot and hold Vol+ to go staight into TWRP.
5. From there flash magisk, wipe caches and reboot to system.
6. Come back here and hit that thanks button. :good:
It was always the trick to survive twrp is to boot into recovery and flash magisk. Anyway, good to have a clean thread.

Hasn't this been the preferred method since forever? And dfe just isn't needed at all encrypted unencrypted doesn't matter you can still flash magisk, and since when would twrp not work on stock miui roms?
It's just a update of a skinned Android, not a major android os update like android 11, really very little has changed to warrant making this thread, sorry.

Preferred? I think it's the only one. But many people are asking about miui 12 and what's changed. Many things have changed with Android 10 and/or miui 12 in many other xiaomi devices and extra things are needed (especially on mediatek devices). Also there are some lies being spread about the need of DFE and alternative recoveries as "better".
Not everyone is familiar with the method of rooting and no one cared to create a straightforward how-to without spreading BS with idiotic recoveries and unnecessary things. Have a nice day.
Nothing changed regarding unlocking, flashing TWRP/Orangefox and rooting regarding the 9T Pro since it's release.
There is NO special method for Miui 12 and the method is overall as good as the same for all Xiaomi/Poco devices.
And the "many people" you mentioned is just 1 person who asked for it in the Questions/FAQ section so no need for unnecessary cluttering of threads.
It sometimes takes a while after flashing magisk for the phone to boot up. Make sure you double check that it was successful by using the Magisk Manager app!

If those people can't do some simple basic research they shouldn't be rooting in the first place it's designed to be simple and easy and if people can't get that they should have never unlocked their bootloader in the first place. Nothing but clutter here. Give one example of someone speading as you say "lies" about dfe.
Is there a way to fix the "ctsProfile: false" ?
Tried a couple modules but they didn't work.

First of all, make sure that Magisk Hide option is enabled in Magisk Manager settings (reboot afterwards) - but if it's not enabled then Basic Integrity would also fail
Problem with CTS Profile failing started about month ago (it has been thoroughly discussed in the general Magisk thread) when Google enforced Hardware backed attestation for CTS Profile (for certain phones / stock firmwares). In that case Magisk Hide cannot hide that Bootloader is unlocked and therefore CTS Profile fails
If so, try how it works for Mi 9T, MIUI 11:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83035713&postcount=40681
In short, install Magisk Hide Props Config module and use its option to delete ro.product.model and reboot afterwards.
The post above describes also how to get back Device is certified in Google Play settings, as well as about a sidefect with Settings/About that will no more properly display your phone model
There is a more 'generic' fix you will also find a link in the post above, to use a particular hardwareoff module for Magisk but that module redefines several ro.product.* props (not only ro.product.model), to cover for other phones like Samsung, etc - IMO, better not to redefine props whose redefinition is not needed for MIUI to pass CTS Profile

The procedure is very simple. DFE or OFOX are NOT required. I myself flashed TWRP on an encrypted device and it boots and works as expected. Also twrp does not go away if you follow the steps correctly. No format needed either. Just remember your password.
0. First of all an unlocked bootloader is required. If this is your first time, go to miui.com/unlock. Backup your personal data before unlocking.
1. On windows install ADB DRIVERS and download PLATFORM-TOOLS and TWRP. Also download Magisk and move it to the phone.
2. In Developer Options Enable USB Debugging, then reboot to fastboot (Vol Down + PWR Button).
3. Connect the device to PC. Extract the platform tools folder and in it press Shift+Left Click and open a powershell window. Type
4. Type fastboot reboot and hold Vol+ to go staight into TWRP.
5. From there flash magisk, wipe caches and reboot to system.
6. Come back here and hit that thanks button. :good:

Hi, through OrangeFox I tried to install the version miui_RAPHAEL_20.8.7_e721f66562_10.0.zip on my MI 9T Pro, starting from miui_RAPHAELEEAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.QFKEUXM_68e06ebeaa_10.0.zip.
Apparently everything went smoothly, but when the reboot starts again with OrangeFox.
Can someone help me?
Thank you

Just for rooting you don't need DFE, nor to format (neither to wipe) Data.
You need it if you go to flash custom ROM
Btw, rooting can be done without TWRP, just by patching boot.img and flashing the patched image from Fastboot

No, I just installed the zip with OrangeFox.
How can I fix it?
Orange restarts every time you restart ...

On OrangeFox in the Wipe directory there are only these entries:
Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, System, Vendor, Data, Internal Sorage, USB-Storage.
Which entries should I format?
Thank you
