Do you think there is any chance of getting the higher refresh rate mods working with this rom at all? TIA
I'm a little confused with the instructions, Following instruction number 1 and 2, I need to check for the OTA update and then press install button but I don't see any install or update button as there is no OTA update available right now. am I missing something?

The instructions are to maintain root when new OTAs arrive!

About maintaing root with an OTA. I assume you are talking about installing it via TWRP right? And when you say don't reboot (step 3) you mean after installing the OTA right? Also the option on step 5 will it be availble in the TWRP when I will try to flask magisk?
Thanks a lot
Edit - I use the TWRP from wzsx150 and I am on the 9.7.27 developer rom from xiaomi.eu

The process mentioned in OP doesn't require TWRP, the option 5 will be available in the magisk manager itself!
If you're a advanced user and have flashed TWRP you do not need to follow this method, just flash the magisk zip and you're ready to go!

acervenky
Oh ok thanks alot!! Last thing should I reboot after installing the OTA via TWRP in order to flash the magisk or not as you mention in your method/guide? If this is off topic sorry

Once you install the OTA and reboot you will lose TWRP as it will be replaced by the stock recovery!
Simply flash TWRP back and flash the magisk zip and you should be good to go!

Yes you'll lose your data during the bootloader unlock process, best way would be to backup all of your data on your PC first.
The only precaution is that you should be on Indian Firmware 10.3.3!

Great work! I cannot fully install magisk as I get bootloop everytime I install the zip in the manager (then have to wipe data etc). Im assuming this way I can say goodbye to TWRP and have a fully functional magisk
However, this would also work on chinese phone flashed with Indian/Global ROM yes?

Keeping it short. This is a simple way to root your device. You will need a computer and a data cable for this.
Objectives :
Have root using Magisk
Be able to install OTA from the settings without bootloops
Avoid boot loop
Very important :
This will work with ANY Xiaomi phone, and should work with ANY ANDROID phone as well. The difference between phones would be in where you can get your boot image from.
Your phone has to have an unlocked bootloader
Your phone has to have stock recovery. TWRP WILL cause bootloop for root and/or OTA updates from system.
I like to have root with magisk and don't want to install TWRP because I want to be able to install OTA from system without boot loops. This guide will help you achieve this with ease.
Steps:
Download the ROM full zip file. This could be the ROM ALREADY installed on your phone or you are updating your phone to it. Here is a video of one way to get your ROM file.
https://youtu.be/KsxHial1v1U
Open the file and extract "boot.img" on your phone or Computer.
Move the boot.img file to your phone
Download and install the latest Magisk official manager app from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v7.4.0/MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk
Open Magisk manager and click install then "select and patch a file" like in this video
https://youtu.be/USHcCMYlexM
Copy the Patched image from the download folder to your computer adb/fastboot folder
Reboot your phone into fastboot (press and hold power and vol down) and connect it to the computer
Flash that patches image file using fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open Magisk manager and complete the installation if needed. The app will prompt you for action.
Enjoy
Update May 2020
Hello again,
Sorry for being away for so long. Here are some of the things I have noticed people are confused with and need to make them clear:
This method works for ANY Android phone. As long as you have the Correct boot.img and can unlock the bootloader
MAKE SURE 100% you have the correct boot.img file for your CURRENT ROM
MAKE 100% SURE, the boot.img file you get from the FULL ROM zip file, not an OTA update zip file
Make sure you check the date and time of the "magisk_patched.img" file to make sure that is the one you made
Make sure you use the LATEST magisk manager
Make sure you open magisk after flashing the magisk_patched.img as boot image. Magisk manager will tell you if there is another step needed, just click yes and it will be done in seconds
Make sure to enable "Hide Magisk" to allow you to have your BANK apps working as well as security checks
If any app you use gives you an error "YOU ARE Rooted bla bla bla" Use magisk manager to hide the root for this specific app (in the settings)
That's all I can remember, good luck

No, bootloader has to be unlocked.
@Kiwironic followed your guide and worked very well, although I had to wipe data through the stock recovery to get the phone to boot, I believe that's just how newer Xiaomi phones work. I do have one question though, now that I'm rooted with stock recovery, would I be able to install OTA updates? I'm assuming I would of course lose root and have to redo the process from scratch if that's the case.

I had root on MIUI10 and updated the ROM to MIUI11 then did my root again the way mentioned and did NOT have to wipe. You can get OTA anyway, it will try the update first, it will fail, then it download and install a full ROM zip automatically. You have to wait for it to do that twice, that's all. The first boot after the update takes some time.
@Kiwironic First, thank you so your simple guide!
Can this cause bootloop on my device? If yes, can I simply flash the original boot.img to boot without any data loss?
Also another question: my device is rootless and bootloader unlocked, so my Google Pay doesn't work. When installing Magisk it goes back to work immediately or I have to do something to work?

If you flash the full rom, chances of bootloop is minimal. And should have stock experience except for being unlocked.
I got bootloop, using indian global V11.0.2.0.
After flashing patched boot, it gets bootloop recovery, only way is to wipe all data and reboot
After booting up and opeing magisk it shows a recommendation to install some ZIP
Accepting the recommendation results in bootloop,
Rejecting the recommendation and trying to Install > Direct Install results in bootloop as well

I got the exact same issue, every time it asked me to install additional zip files it went into recovery immediately after booting up.
Anyone know why this happened?

Do you have stock recovery or TWRP? Which version of Magisk are you using?
I have patched my boot stock image, installed full ROM, then flashed the patched boot image. Magisk did not show any recommendation installation.
There are a few guides online on how to deal with Magisk Bootloop without the need to wipe data.

TWRP 3.3.1-8, magisk 20.1
Patching boot image with magisk wasn't a problem. The Superuser itself works normally, module doesn't. The magisk manager suggested to download additional files for the magisk to be working properly.
I'm on MIUI 11.0.1 Global
Was TWRP the cause in the fist place?

On first installation MM asks to download what it needs e.g. to verify SafetyNet. Allow and there is no problem about. TWRP is generally not needed to install Magisk. Things are documented in Magisk guides

Yes, as the title suggests "without TWRP". The reason is, you cannot install OTA and magisk easily without using the stock recovery. Any attempt to update OTA or use any recovery script on the phone will result in a boot loop.
The solution to get out of the boot loop is simple. Actually a couple of solutions.
One, flash your stock recovery, or
Two, flash a full ROM that includes the stock recovery.
No need to wipe data
That's the only reason I made this post and the other about OTA on root. I don't like to use TWRP because I want OTA install without boot loop. At the same time I want root. Hence the solutions I provided

I've tried flashing magisk via recovery and didn't work, the same bootloop. Here's the thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-miui-11-v11-0-1-0-pfjmixm-rooted-t3997299

Gotta try installing magisk with stock recovery then, and if it still didn't work, well, more research for me..

You have to understand the requirements :
- stock recovery
- install magisk manager app
- patch the boot image for your stock ROM (same version on your phone)
- flash that Patched boot image.
- reboot
- done, that's magisk installed
So there's a number of discussions about what to try when an update has gone bad, or how to get to DN2103_11_A.10 and get root, but there's no guide on how to update from a rooted A.10 to a rooted A.11, and apparently a lot of things to do wrong.
What's the recommended way to update a rooted Nord 2? What are the biggest risks (WiFi/Bluetooth, IMEI,...)?

its simple:

- flash update.zip, dont reboot
- flash magisk.zip, reboot to bootloader
- flash vbmeta.img with the disable commands

You don't need to boot to fastboot and flash Vbmeta
Reboot after flashing boot.img can be skippable.
After flashing update zip you can use magisk zip to install to gain root but i didn't tested please tell us if it's working
I want to access /data/system/users//settings_ssaid.xml to know what my game unique id is.
But after some research i learned that i have to root to able to get there but i have almost zero knowledge about it.
Are there any guide to root Redmi Note 10 from the scratch? Thanks.

Hi, I'm on official global ROM 12.5.3.0 RKGMIXM
And i turned on OEM Unlocking in developer mode yesterday (Which is confuse me a little a guide said i have to wait for 7 days for this but mine is nothing it's just switched to on)
OEM Unlocking is only one of the steps, but it does not unlock the bootloader. File a request with Xiaomi.
unlock bootloader
i recommend only booting to twrp, not flashing it

Aside of that instruction, actually is it 'dangerous' if we install the TWRP? What 'bad things' would/may happen if we install it? (Because I see some guides about installing it on RN10, like this one for example, and I was almost followed that guide).

Please confirm these;
*So we can:
Use TWRP only temporarily, only to root the phone (by flashing Magisk v23),
and then,
back to using the stock recovery on our RN10 afterward,
even if the RN10 is already rooted?
**If the answer for my question above is yes, then (in RN10 condition of Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, Stock MIUI & Stock Recovery) ;
Would we still get official OTA Update from Xiaomi (and can download and install the update- as how it's like before rooting the phone)?
Thank you in advance
It's an unnecessarily complicated procedure. Just flash a modified boot.img for your Miui using fastboot from your PC. If you don't have the ability to modify the boot.img on another rooted phone yourself, request a modified boot.img with the exact update version of your Miui here.

Forgive my nooby questions.
But I really want to know as much as I can (especially about the answer for some questions I have inside my head about the matter, like I asked above),.. before executing doing something about my phone.
oops... I'm sorry for double send
In the past I rooted Miui and then continued to get OTA updates. However, this cannot be confirmed for all versions of Miui. Each new update changes the phone software and so what worked before may not work today.

Hi, I'm unlocked my phone and installed the orange fox it's the custom recovery right? Because it say so.
If yes, By Flash Magisk ZIP how to do that? Please explain the detailed steps, Thanks.
First of all, I would like to point out that Magisk (root) is a security risk. Without understanding the issues, the phone is more easily exploitable.
To install, just download the magisk file with the ZIP extension. In recovery, select the install option and select this file. Once installed, exit recovery and boot the system. Once the system boots, use magisk and complete the installation it requests.

the answer above is right ... but i would suggest to flash Orange Fox zip and then Magisk zip... to avoid problems

How to decrypt this phone?
I usually did that along with rooting with my android phones before this.

It's ok now I understand how, after watching this video.

Update yourbphone to latest v14
Is there any way to relock the phone just through fastboot? After installing an OTA update, the partitions should match the vbmeta partition, right? So could just relock the bootloader using fastboot flashing lock or would the phone not start then?

Your device will go in to boot img corrupt after that.......
PLEASE NOTE: This isnt working if you are on a custom rom! My Bootloader ist broken and locked and I have to figure out how to fix this ****.
Hello Pankspoo.
I reset my Nord 2 again with an A11 image.
Now I wanted to lock the bootloader again. I have implemented your instructions one to one.
After that, the Nord 2 will boot normally and start.
But in the developer options I can still unlock the bootloader. So the option is not greyed out. The OTA cannot be installed but does not lead to a bootloop either.
I used the appropriate boot.img recovery & vbmeta.img.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards

Check YASNAC app from play store if it's showing safety net check passed your locked.
While installation of OTA what's errors u r getting.
After locking OEM unlock not grates off actually now it's available to unlock again with switchable tab
Sorry for crossposting a lot today, but I am really stuck and it seems that this may be the tool I need. I am on A15, cannot lock bootloader and cannot update.
So, to be sure, for this to work I need the boot.img, recovery.img and vbmeta.img for A15 stock rom? If yes, where can I get those files?
I found the files! Thank you for this guide! It worked perfectly. I really thought my phone was completely bricked. Coming from a Pixel, the root/restore process on this thing is a complete nightmare!!

Hi, I have a question. I have an unlocked bootloader, if I have my mobile service serviced and I have the original rom reinstalled there will the botloader be locked?

Definitely, no doubt about that. But the rooting-proces after that is easy and well described here. Don't forget to FIRST take you OTA's, that makes things easier!

I want to lock the botloader, I don't want root anymore. I just need to be sure that if I service the phone for reinstallation to the original firmware, then the bootloader will be locked. Will be? thank you for answer
No worries, it'll be locked after a factory flash!

This happened to me. It turns out that I had version A10 and flashed the A12stock_boot.img and when rebooting I had no wifi. I had no twrp either, since I had just flashed the stock recovery too.
So, I figured "did this actually updated to A12?" I checked the build version on the settings and no, it did not. So maybe thats the reason the system gets confused and some functions (I only noticed wifi) don't work properly.
Anyway, this is how I solved it:
1) restored my A10 version (flashing the file I got from a link on this post)
2) rebooting to A10, I did have wifi. I tried to update to A19 through Software Updater, but even though it did download the update.zip, it failed to update ("didn't pass the verification"). So, I:
3) flashed TWRP again, rebooted into it and installed the update.zip file (in data/ota_package/) that had just been downloaded by Software Updater.
4) Rebooted.
5) Fastboot flashing lock
6) Rebooted again. Congrats, its a brand new phone!!
P.S. Don't forget to lock the OEM unlocking option in Settings.
