I want to share a fully working TWRP for Redmi K30 (phoenix). It also works for Poco X2 (phoenixin).
This is not my work. I am just sharing it. All credits go to wzsx150 (a Chinese developer) who created this TWRP. I just made the batch file simple because the original one was written in Chinese and I don't understand at all. I have tested this TWRP many times and everything works including decryption, mounting partitions, etc.. You may need to change language because everything is written in Chinese by default. I attached English TWRP interface for you to set language easily.
TWRP with simplified batch file
Mod edit: link removed
Instruction for newbie
-Unlock bootloader
-Put your phone into fastboot mode
-Connect to PC (require driver installed)
-Extract downloaded TWRP zip
-Double click !flash.bat in extracted folder
Done

You don't need to flash TWRP to flash xiaomi.eu for K30 because the ROM for this model was released to flash through fastboot mode. They didn't release the ROM in flashable zip form like any other models.
Unlock bootloader
Download and unzip the ROM
flash it through fastboot
Done

Hi there dear OP,
Since you are sharing the work of someone else, there are at least two issues involved:
1. You need permission from the developer to post this
2. If you do so, you have to also publish the sources of the TWRP to comply with GPL requirements.
For this reason, link is removed and thread closed.
If you solve the above issues, PM me and I'll be happy to reopen the thread.

Your friendly forum moderator
Before rooting, you'll need an unlocked bootloader. Check my previous guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/x3...ck-bootloader-realme-x3-t4136325/post83109505.
After unlocking, we can get started with rooting.
First, you'll want to install Magisk Manager. You can find the latest APK here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk/releases.
Next, you'll need to download the latest OTA OZIP. There's a link at the end of the post for this.
While that's downloading, you'll also need to grab a copy of an OZIP extractor. Follow the link below, download the repository as a ZIP, and unzip it.
For this program to work, you'll need Python 3 installed. On Linux systems, it should already be installed. On Windows 10, you can install Python from the Store.
Open a terminal or CMD window and cd to where you extracted the OZIP extractor files.
Use pip to install the docopt module: "pip3 install docopt".
Once the OZIP has finished downloading, move it to the same folder as the extractor program.
Run the following command: "python3 ozipdecrypt.py NAME_OF_OZIP_FILE". This will take a while!
Once it's done extracting, there will be a ZIP file with the same name as the OZIP. We only need two files from here: boot.img and vbmeta.img.
Extract those two files to the same folder as the extractor program.
Copy the boot.img file to your device.
Open Magisk Manager and choose the "INSTALL" option next to the Magisk status. Tap "INSTALL" in the dialog that appears and then choose "Select and Patch a File."
Browse to where you copied your boot.img to and select it. Magisk will now patch it and create a file named magisk_patched.img in your Download folder. Copy magisk_patched.img back to your computer.
Reboot your phone into fastboot: "adb reboot bootloader". If you don't have ADB or fastboot installed (which you should, since you needed them for the previous guide), you can find the link in the bootloader unlocking guide.
Before you flash the patched boot image, you need to disable image verification, which is where the vbmeta.img comes in.
Run "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification" (remember, you'll probably need to unplug and replug the device after hitting Enter). This will disable boot verification and allow the patched image to actually work.
Finally, run "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img". This will flash the rooted boot image to your device.
Run "fastboot reboot" and let the phone boot back into the system. Check Magisk Manager and you should now be rooted!
Troubleshooting:
If you get an error that the boot image was "destroyed," don't worry. You'll just need to flash the stock boot.img and try again. Unplug your phone from your computer and wait for it to turn off. Once the screen is black, hold down VOL-DWN and PWR to enter fastboot mode. You can then run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (where boot.img is the stock image) to restore. Reboot, then try the vbmeta and patched image flashing again.
You can get the OTA OZIPs from Realme EU's site: https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update.
You can get an OZIP extractor from here: https://github.com/bkerler/oppo_ozip_decrypt. (NOTE: you'll need to install the "docopt" Python module.)
OZIPs contain a boot.img, which you can extract and patch with Magisk for root. If someone else has an idea for patching Magisk into the boot.img, this is where to start.
Here's my patched boot.img for A.32. I don't recommend using this on other versions: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=315334
Could you share your patched boot.img for the latest OS version? And could you check if the aux magisk module from X2 pro works to activate all aux cameras in Gcam? Thanks
Patched boot image
Thanks Zacharee1....Could someone upload the patched boot image for the latest one? Also do we have a generic version of twrp that can be installed on x3 ?? If yes, then we could try installing havoc gsi...
I've added a link to a patched A.32 boot.img.
also needed pip install pycryptodome win10

It's pretty simple to patch it yourself. Download the OZIP, use the Python tool to unencrypt it, take the boot.img file out of the created ZIP, copy it to your device, and then patch with with Magisk Manager.

Great thread @Zacharee1. I have been waiting for this!
I have one question - is it mandatory to download the OTA package and do the patching? Is it because of the absence of recovery software like TWRP yet, for the X3 Super Zoom?

Yes, and that's why. It might be possible to pull the boot image directly from your device, but I'm not sure.

ota update after root
Someone have experiencing ota update failed on rooted device with this procedure? I m on RMX2081EU_11.A.40 but ota update to RMX2081EU_11.A.42 fails. how to update now?
Good afternoon. I want to get a root for my X3 super zoom, but I literally do not understand all the manipulations so that your description is attached with an image (screenshots). I think it will be useful for everyone who can't.
Anyone have working patched boot.img for a46?? I'm trying and always boot destroyed. Magisk 21.4
It's really weird on official en site there is a42 soft from September but on pl site there is a46 from December.
Hi all and sorry for my bad english in first!!
i live in italy and i've buyed(but still not recieved) one oneplus 9r from china whit oxygenos rom on board..
When it comes i want to root & debloat it, but i've some queustion cause in last year i've used only device with custom rom!.
first of all i wan't to root the phone, but preserve the possibility to update the OS with ota. if i understand right it's possible with magisk, can please someone tell me the correct step to make?
after root i vant to uninstall not necessary app for my utilization (facebook/instagram/netflix, red cable and oneplus account, google app, gdrive, google photo and most of BigG apps cause i'm using only gmail/yt/maps/ an store!).
the question is.... if i uninstall this app it will be re installed in future ota?
Thanks in advice!
Step1 : unlock bootloader, this will wipe the storage, then setup the device once again then enable usb debugging in developer options.
You can use this
Tool to make (tool all in one) your life easier : https://sourceforge.net/projects/tool-all-in-one/files/TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE_1.0.6.1.zip/download
you should select 8t as 9r is not supported officially
at the moment.
Step2: update the phone to latest version , right now it's 11.2.5.5
Step 3: download the same version of the oxygen is ota wether from xda, OnePlus official site , oxygen updater ( make sure it is full version).
Step4: on pc now extract only the payload.bin file in the input of the payload extracter ,
Now use the payload extracter ,
Run .exe and get boot.img .
payload_dumper_tool_by_ius.zip
drive.google.com
(MAKE SURE THE PHONE OS VERSION AND BOOT IMG VERSION IS SAME)
Step 5: install magisk manager on phone, now patch the boot.img that you extracted earlier. Copy this patched boot.img in platforms tool folder(I hope that u have installed the platform tools and adb & fastboot ).
Step 6: open terminal there in platform tools , use the tool all in one to boot your phone in fast boot mode,then flash patched boot.img using.
Fastboot devices
Fastboot flash boot_a patched.img
Fastboot flash boot_b patched.img
Bingo got rooted.
Step 7( optional) : now properly restart the phone by opening magisk , then install universal safety net fix, debloat modules in magisk.
You can use lucky patcher to debloat unnecessary things (which don't exist as it is oxygen os)
Now in future if your phone gets ota make sure you disable all magisk modules then download the full version of ota from oxygen updater & update it locally & do not restart.
go to magisk ,
flash magisk to inactive slot.
restart now,
REnable the modules. (Tip don't enable the lucky patcher module this will put you in bootloop)
enjoy the ota .

Do you have instructions to install TWRP?
I even tried to read the thread on the 8t forum, but I didn't understand it very well.
So, 1st of all make sure u are on oos , then simply boot in to bootloader then flash this ofox img file , using the command
fastboot flash recovery name.img then boot into recovery it will ask u your screen lock, then flash this ofox zip file .
this or any recovery are in beta phase , everything works but not 100/100 times.
unzip this and flash the img cuz the img could not be uploaded
this will only work on oos not on any custom rom, uwill not require to format data
& trust me i am not a hacker

Sir have you tried changing the font of your 9R?
I've been looking on the magisk forums or some app but I haven't had success.
Yeah I actually use the Einstein font the font manager by androidacy seems to work for me.

I tried this module too, only with Komika font, my favorite.
What version of the module do you use? I tried with the last one (5.5.6) and the font doesn't seem to have been applied.
I'm on OOS 11.2.7.7.
Same version

Hello sr
Have you updated your 9r for A12 ? If yes, how did you do it? Would it be possible to go from A11 (11.2.8.8) to A12 (C.33)?
Hi guys so Many users are facing issue while they are rooted and twrp installed on there phone.
They can't able to Flash update through stock settings OR via twrp if they tries to flash it via twrp manually facing no wifi and Bluetooth.
So here is the process to flash any incremental update via twrp just we need update zip, vbmeta image and boot image of old oos version respective to your new update means if. We are upgrading to V11 we need V10 boot img
U can use following commands to extract your current stock boot img after connecting to PC
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/sdc49 of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit
Note: Remember this process will replace your twrp and removes root to gain root access. We need to repeat twrp installation shown in the following tutorial
TUTORIAL TWRP AND ROOT NORD 2 OXYGEN OS 11 ( Links updated!)
SO finally I successfully rooted with TWRP and root access.thanks to all developers @Eastw1ng @TheMalachite Following are all download links combined in one post Also there are two threads like unlocking boot loader and twrp but there are some...
forum.xda-developers.com
You can gain root acess only by flashing magisk.zip file after step no 7 given under instructions but I didn't tested it yet.

good Instructions! Reboot after flashing boot.img isnt necessary. OTA Update zip can be downloaded within OTA App in Settings (do not press reboot). After downloading you can reboot to TWRP and the file location is: /data/OTA-package/update.zip.

Do the boot.img files in the original post only work on the Indian variant? Where can I get the A11 boot.img for the European variant if I want to update to A12?

U can use following commands to extract your current stock boot img after connecting to PC
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/sdc49 of=/sdcard/boot.img
exit

Still trying to wrap my head around this (although updating worked fine from A11 to A12 on my EEA variant, thanks @pankspoo!).
Can I actually extract a stock boot.img from a Magisk-rooted phone? Is it stock (in which case why is root removed by the update.zip) or is it modified (in which case, why can I extract it as stock)?

You can use those adb commands while booted in TWRP, without being rooted. So you'll extract the stock boot image
Hi, I've just bought a Cubot P50, it's a Chinese brand and seems more than decent for the price, I've rooted it with Magisk and I want to install TWRP on it but can't find anything for that brand. Has anyone came across a TWRP that might work on it?

I have the same phone how did you root it ? If there a guide that is safe to use ? Thank you
Unlock the bootloader first, this step will factory reset your phone https://romprovider.com/unlock-bootloader-android/
On your PC:
1. Install Fastboot driver
2. Install MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers_Setup_Signed
3. Extract platform-tools
4. On your phone, Enable Developer Options, USB debugging and OEM Unlocking
5. Unlock bootloader (this step will factory reset your phone): Phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt on PC > fastboot devices > fastboot flashing unlock. Note this will cause the phone to show the "Orange State" warning on boot up. You can ignore this or remove it later.
(If device is unauthorised in ADB or Fastboot, go to Developer Options on phone, revoke USB debugging authorisation, disable then enable USB debugging. You should now get an authorisation confirmation dialogue when you try to connect with ADB/Fastboot. If not, type "adb kill-server", then "adb devices" or "adb start-server" in the command prompt).
6. Place boot.img on phone with USB file transfer (either from stock ROM, or read from phone using SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1924_Win) and patch it with Magisk v5.2. NO need to patch vbmeta.img
7. Transfer patched boot.img back to PC
8. Flash the patched boot.img to phone either with SP Flash Tool or Fastboot command in ADB (fastboot flash boot boot.img). Take care here, make sure it's the right image going to the right location and that ALL other files are de-selected, especially the preloader file, always de-select this when flashing any firmware unless you know what you're doing!
Phone is now rooted.

It is possible that in the future, developers may create custom ROMs and TWRP recoveries for the device, especially if it becomes popular among the Android community.
If a custom ROM and TWRP recovery becomes available for your device in the future, you will be able to flash it by following the instructions provided by the developer. Keep in mind that installing custom ROMs and recoveries comes with some risks, and it is important to backup your data and follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your device.
Good evening, can you tell me the correct procedure for how to Root the Cubot p50 smartphone? Thank you.

Thanks for your work on the Cubot phone .Im a fan of them also. I found that twrp recovery 3.40 works on the Note 20/20Pro you just have to flash vbmeta BEFORE and AFTER you flash twrp to the device. Im also seeing separate websites claiming twrp 3.40 is also used with the Cubot P40 model. I dont see why it wouldnt work with the P50. Its worth a shot. Also theres alot more "familiars" with Mediatek phones like these in Hovatek forum. Since you already have information on how to root maybe consider starting your own P50 thread over there.

Good evening, how will I flash the lk file? Thanks.
Hi, you will have, or should have, downloaded a zip file containing a recovery.img. The recovery.img is the file you need to flash. Then follow the instructions here:
How to Install TWRP Recovery on Any Android 2022 [100% Working]
In this article, I will be showing you how you can install TWRP recovery on any Android smartphone. By following this guide you will be able to install

The TWRP Recovery file it refers to is the one you (hopefully) downloaded from this link:

BUT, you also need to flash a vbmeta file BEFORE and AFTER the recovery.img, and I'm still unsure which vbmeta file it is, as elimoviebuff hasn't replied to my question regarding that.

I get it, but I have to flash the .bin to remove the yellow/red state on boot. I don't know how to install the lk.bin file. If you can help me. Thank you.
Ah I see, you're rooting the phone first. Ok I've just checked my own notes on this, so, if you have edited the lk.img file as described in that Hovatek thread, then do as follows:
When flashing with SP Flash Tool, make sure the correct lk.img file is chosen as SP Flash Tool chooses lk-verified.img by default (click along to the right of the file list under "Location" and choose your edited lk.img file here).
OR, flash with ADB (fastboot flash lk lk.img).
Then install Magisk on your phone if you haven't already.
boot.img is for rooting the phone, lk.img is only to remove the orange state message and the 5 second delay when the phone boots, it does not actually remove it's orange state and is not needed for the phone to be rooted.
To un-root, you should just flash the original boot.img and lk-verified.img from the stock firmware ROM file.

Good morning. Thank you for the information given.
I wanted to ask: is it necessary or useful to install an antivirus on your smartphone now that it's been rooted? Thank you.
I haven't but that's just down to personal choice really. It's certainly useful if you like to try stuff from unknown sources, although personally I've rarely encountered viruses on Android. I'm not saying they don't exist though.
Have you successfully rooted your phone then? What about TWRP, have you tried that yet?
