Yes Rooting is working i check it Personally and about Xpose its Difficult. Because i dont own Redmi 4 Prime but i Try on my Friend Mobile, so he do not want to take the Risk
Does this have OTA update later ?? Or N ?
Question; does the same twrp image work on both the standard redmi 4 snapdragon 430 as the redmin 4 prime/pro which has a snapdragon 625. I own the first, standard redmi 4. The video (screenshot) shows redmi 4 but can this be confirmed?

I've tried it on on another rom and used and re-used the uninstaller zip - it works perfectly.
I probably made 4-5 cycles of install + uninstall of xposed (for logs, toggles in installer etc')
thats great

I wont recommend using this to flash on your fake ubl device. I would if it was bricked but it's not. You could still apply for the official one. It's more safe.

So it possibly wouldn't work with my fully functional arb4 device with fake ubl then? Unfortunately I don't have authorized account to remove fake ubl. Lol really despise xiaomi for their arb d**k move.

I've already flashed the eu rom using this recovery, there was no problem. The above issue is coming while trying to create a backup.
So I did as instruction and flashed MIUI EU Stable ROM. For some reason when setting up the phone, any PIN, password or pattern I set up is good to go. But can't use it to unlock the phone or inside setting, it will tell me that the password is wrong. I've factory reseted multiple times to make sure i got the password/PIN correct. And it won't let me set up fingerprints as well. So I did some reading and maybe the problem is because MIUI only allow setting up PIN/fingerprint when device is encrypted? and the last zip file decrypted the device?
Anyone can help me with this? Thanks!

cc9 meitu edition (vela)
@Radzią
Hi, can you please make a twrp for cc9 meitu edition (vela)?
cc9 meitu version does not have any twrp or alternative rom. only chinese.
Alternatively, If you have the time, knowledge and motivation, maybe you can post a detailed tutorial on how you have created this twrp, [Recovery] TWRP-3.3.1-0709 XIAOMI_CC9-CN-wzsx150?
maybe I can try to port one myself based on your tutorial.
I have tried to port cc9 meitu twrp using many guides from the web, but did not succeed.
I uploaded the original recovery for cc9 meitu to here https://we.tl/t-NtcZIhWoiD
thanks.
Hi All,
I am trying to root my Redmi 8A Dual and nothing works. I previously have rooted Samsung, sonny and even Lenovo phones but this one seems really tough. When getting into recovery mode, I see just reboot and contact MI Assistance. on developer settings, I am unable to do the Mi Unlock Status ( seriously no idea what that does). tried Magisk manager, King Root and MI unlocker web but not working. I want to degoogle my phone and make it AOSP ROM in it.
Can I get assistance here please?

Below are the following steps which helped me in successfully rooting my RM8A Dual-
1. Install Pitch Black recovery for RM8A Dual via fastboot.
2. Once installed recovery successfully extract your boot.img via recovery.(Many videos are out there to do it.)
3. Patch you boot.img on the website mentioned in previous posts.
4. Flash the patched IMG via recovery then reboot into recovery again and flash magisk and voila you're rooted.

As far as I now I have never Tried VBMeta till now after this Issue,
VBmeta resulted into bootloop when I flashed it First time in olivewood phone
I had to Reflash the Miui Rom again from scratch to solve Bootloop issue ,
Any Senior person might know the correct VBmeta file

Below are the following steps which helped me in successfully rooting my RM8A Dual-
1. Install Pitch Black recovery for RM8A Dual via fastboot.
2. Once installed recovery successfully extract your boot.img via recovery.(Many videos are out there to do it.)
3. Patch you boot.img on the website mentioned in previous posts.
4. Flash the patched IMG via recovery then reboot into recovery again and flash magisk and voila you're rooted.

When I got my Realme 5, I wanted to Unlock the Bootloader, Install the TWRP Recovery, root it and finally Install a Custom ROM. So, I've Searched for it and Finally Disappointed B'coz many Guides were wrong and some were Very Old and Outdated Guides.. So I've Researched and now with many problems, Finally I've Unlocked the Bootloader, installed TWRP and finally Flashed LineageOS 17.1.. So, this Guide saves your time, I've Included the Steps What I did, you guys can simply follow it..
This Guide is only applicable for Realme 5(rmx1911) and not for Realme 5i, Realme 5s or Realme 5 Pro..

Sorry for the delay bro, I think you can't unlock the bootloader of Your Phone, bcoz it is not directly from the realme, I mean the phone which u bought is customized by your sim(carrier) company

How did you root it without twrp? Just using fastboot/adb with an unlocked bootloader I assume? Thank you.

Oh nice, thank you for the rapid response. Unfortunately I do not yet have a X5 Pro, I'm actually waiting for custom roms to appear, ever since Xiaomi baked gestures into the stock launcher I stopped buying phones until I could custom rom. Nova Launcher is a must for me and using it without gestures feels wrong. I was just curious as to how you rooted without a custom recovery. Very interesting you are using magisk on a different device to patch the boot image in the fastboot rom, which I assume you will flash using the mi flash. Is that what's happening? Thank you.

No need to flash with mi flash after u patch it with magisk.
After magisk step
U will boot into fastboot and install the patched boot. Img
U may have 2
One is for fastboot rom
2nd is for recovery rom
Depends on the rom u falshed during flashing using mi flash tool
For fastboot u will use receovey comand
For bootloader rom u will use boot command while flashing boot. Img
Hope it will help u and others
Also yeah these are the silly things I wanted to root this phone. Navigation or lockscreen wallpaper suggestions or annoying box icons etc etc

If I'm not wrong, you can do these with the debloater via usb debugging
