WiFi dead after installing magisk - Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers

Xiaomi Redmi 8A
MIUI Global 11.0.7 (PCPMIXM)
Bootloader unlocked
I followed this youtube tutorial
Running the following commands:
fastboot devices (detected just fine)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
All 3 files were flashed successfully, the TWRP wasn't working as expected, it booted into TWRP but the touch didn't work, so I decided to install another version found in another video (3.3.1-0105 by wzsx150), this worked, and allowed me to install MagiskManager-v7.5.1
Then after booting, I can't turn on the WiFi. When I try to enable it, it just disables itself automatically.
As far as I know, the boot image is the problem, I have another Xiaomi Redmi 8A with me but with MIUI Global 11.0.9 (PCPINXM), it has the bootloader unlocked too, what do you suggest? Can I get a copy of that boot and flash it with fastboot to the device with the wifi problem? may it work? what are the commands to do so? I don't know them and I don't want to brick it
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

Hi, sorry if I misunderstood you but did you try to install the old Magisk Manager? It's not even Magisk Manager anymore but only Magisk, try to install the latest stable version 25.2 here is the download link.

Exact same issue here.
Unlocked bootloader and had twrp recovery on it
Installed PixelExperience 13 and everything was fine
For banking apps, I installed Magisk 25.2 following official process w/boot + recovery
Flashed patched images using fastboot.
Now I have banks, but no wifi :-/
Any hints?

Problem with fastboot

Hi guys. I was trying to install miui on my phone by twrp because there was a version of aex. When i tried to install the file twrp crashed and my phone turn off. now it can only go in fastboot mode, what can i do? I only want to install twrp and then install the miui. If you know another method, please help me.
P.S. I don't have usb debugging enabled.
Check that your Bootloader has not been locked again.
If unlocked officially, just use Mi Unlock to unlock it again.
Try Flash/Boot TWRP again and proceed with your flashing.
If the above doesn't work flash a fastboot version of MIUI with MiFlash (you may need to use EDL mode)
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/flashing/miflash
Edit: - Official TWRP and MIUI don't work well together, you also may need to patch the boot image.

[RECOVERY] [TWRP] [MIDO] Unable to install Twrp

The Fastboot installation process goes all fine but device boots into Mi-Recovery by default. Currently Using Miui 9 Dev Rom (7.12.21 | Beta). This happened after I flashed the stock Dev rom after accidentally bricking my phone while unrooting through SuperSu's Full Unroot Option.
Bootloader is unlocked. Help asap plz.
Using The 4Gb 64Gb variant.
Hi,
if you flash Global Developer rom using Fastboot method, you will always flash a stock recovery with it.
There is a great manual how to unlock your device on official CZ and SK webpage created by local admins.
Just go to miuios.cz (translate it to ENG using browser like chrome or others) create an account to be able see the links.
Then on the main page scroll down to Redmi note 4 and check
[NÁVODY] - základné /Bootloader/TWRP/MIUI/ROOT
there is everything you need to unlock device with software you need.

I think is a problem about installation process (I had the same problem with another phone), but you can still access twrp with your computer. Just use this command: Fastboot boot "twrp.img".
Update "twpr.img" with your own twrp´s file name.
Wait untill phone´s reboot (more than 15s.)
Then use it as usual
Good luck

I ran into the same problem after unlocking the bootlader:
TWRP would not install -> [Vol+] + [Power] started only the MIUI recovery.
But after some search, I found that you have to:
enter in a terminal "fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img"
enter after that "fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img"
My Note 4 then started in TWRP.
EDIT:
Corrected step 2

After flashing twrp, directly from terminal boot to twrp and flash super su along with lazyflasher, after that reboot, when rebooted install official twrp app and super su app, and using the twrp app once again install twrp. That shld do.

How did you get ADB commands to work in Fastboot? Having the same TWRP problem right now.

From a terminal from your PC. With a Windows open "cmd.exe".

ADB doesn't work in Fastboot... fastboot.exe does. And that can only boot into itself (the bootloader), not the recovery.
Anyway, I solved the problem. Mine is a 4X not a Note 4X. Damn you Xiaomi... they are exactly alike!

You are right, my mistake.
adb does not work and I mixed it up.
But I did test 'fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img' in fastboot mode and it worked on my Note 4.

As others have reported, I had the same issue too. I was able to boot to TWRP with the fastboot boot command above, but it looks like after you boot to the stock ROM (mine was MIUI V9.2.1.0.NCFMIEK as far as I remember), the TWRP recovery gets replaced by the stock one. After flashing LineageOS (official lineage-14.1-20180331-nightly-mido-signed.zip), I can now properly reboot to TWRP with Vol+ & Power.
Thanks for the tip @tinaeire :good:
Why aren't devs mentioning this in the instructions right after the recovery flash command? I'll never understand. I guess it's more MIUI's fault for being so weird about the bootloader.
TWRP boots stable
Press VOLUME-UP and POWER together, when you feel the vibration release the buttons.
-> boots into TWRP
If you hold the two buttons until you see the TWRP logo flash up and release them at that moment -> boots to MIUI.
Did that with phone mentioned below, TWRP 3.2.1, and MIUI Global 9.2 Stable.
I am also facing the same problem, please someone guide me thoroughly how to root my xiaomi redmi note 4 snapdragon global stable version. i have successfully unlocked my phone but i can't start it up in twrp recovery mode. please tell me all the steps and files necessary.

Once you flash TWRP via fastboot then use command fastboot boot xxx.img
So, you'll be able to boot to TWRP, next flash magisk for MIUI, install lazyflasher.zip and reboot and check if TWRP sticks.
i have the same issue after flash the twrp and it reboot back to mi recovery instead. However i am using redmi K20.
Found out that the issue is the twrp.img file that you flash must be a correct one that your download for your device.
If it is not the correct file ( my case is using redmi k20 pro instead of redmi k20 twrp.img), i will always failed and stay at mi recovery.

Need help with rooting (Magisk) my olivewood - Redmi 8A Dual!

Hey there,
Gone through every other thread in XDA and most other blogs already. I'm pretty used to rooting and modding android devices, still i somehow find rooting this dirty device harder than I expected.
It's been 2 days now and I could really use some 1-1 help for my case. So, my stock is MIUI Global 11.0.8 Stable 11.0.8.0 PCQINXM, I already unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest PBRP. On attempting to flash Magisk, I don't find any success regardless of error/ no error messages.
1. I extracted my boot.img with
i) adb shell dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
ii) from my ROM via xiaomifirmwareupdater.com repo
2. Used recovery.img that came with olivewood's PBRP.
Patched both of them via Magisk Manager with Recovery Mode checked on.
3. Used vbmeta.img that came with stock ROM.
4. Flashed using fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot flash vbmeta c:\vbmeta.img
Still can't seem to complete the root successfully.
What am i doing wrong?
P.S.: I found that flashing a recovery patched this way leads to issues, that I'm stuck in fastboot even if I try to boot to system or PBRP recovery. Flashing the original recovery.img from PBRP repo gets back the recovery menu.

Redmi 8a fastboot stuck

So i wanted to install custom rom on my redmi 8a, installed TWRP and wiped the system without installing the rom, now my phone is stuck in the fastboot mode because i don'‌t have system to load, also can'‌t access the TWRP and file system from the pc. How can i flash MIUI? Tried with Mi Flash Tool, got an error "missmatching image and device". I tried downloading several different roms and also from official website, but still didn't succeed in flashing and every time get this exact error.
SOLVED! flashed patched vbmeta through fastboot and can open TWRP now
Hi.
So, I'm exactly in the same situation. For a moment there I thought I perma-bricked my phone...
Anyway, can you tell me more about how you solved it?
Where did you get the patched vbmeta file?
How can I flash it? Is it just a simple fastboot flash <partition> <file> command?
Anything else I need besides the vbmeta file?
Thanks in advance.
