ROOT MiA1 without TWRP

Hi guys, i was looking to make twrp for this device but couldn't do it because lack of knowledge. so i searched and found about CF-Auto-Root.
fortunately i was able to generate one for mia1. now we can root this device without any recovery.
Requirements -
1. unlocked boot loader. :cyclops:
2. this Zip
3.adb debugging should be enabled
How to -
1. put your phone in fastboot mode by volume down + power key.
2. connect to pc, ( make sure adb debugging is enabled)
2. extract above zip anywhere in your desktop and run root.bat file.
wait for some time, when it boots up you should have root access . although you won't see any su app. tried with solid explorer and was able to edit build.prop. without any issues. enjoy

so with this we get root access, a question about unlocked bootloader, does A1 already unlocked bootloader since begining or we have to request it from Xiaomi or Google to get that?
hope with this we can use substratum on stock Android

No, it doesn't come unlocked, but you can unlock by either ---
1. requesting xiaomi for unlock code.
or
2. By using command " fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode.
i used 2nd method to unlock, it's just like unlocking a nexus phone.

Screenshot proof please Kratus
Can u upload or attach few screenshots of the root access working... Root checker or anything

Screenshots?

Well done!
Were you able to install any root apps SuperSU or Magisk? Post some screen shots if you can

See the proff guys...

Thanks

Were you able to install Magisk? BTW did you lose all data when you unlocked the bootloader?

Nothing to worry about... Xiaomi doesn't wipe data while unlocking...
Just extract the zip... Get the boot.img and flash it using fastboot...
If you are too lazy then run root.bat

Awesome News... Trying it.. i just want to enable nav bar

I should have read this sooner. I run root.bat twice.. it did not work.. my partner had to take the laptop to school since it's needed for teaching.. now i'm left with nothing.. unrooted, frustrated, aggreviated.. i should have flashed it manually.. i'm wanna cry. ????

@ravinder0003 Thanks. it working using root.bat. flashboot boot boot.img didn't seem to work for me. Any ideas? Did you get Magisk working?

Hey , can't we get separate device thread for MiA1 ?

THANK YOU Developers... U guys rock!!!!

It should work. You must have missed something. Did you have the right driver installed?

fastboot flash boot failed and root.bat suceeded but my phone does not get rooted checked by root checker.

Magisk Root without TWRP for OnePlus 6 Oxygen OS Android 10 Open Beta 5 | OOS 10.3.1

Latest TWRP doesn't support Android Pie 9.0 for OnePlus 6, or at least for me it didn't.
So, I've made a Magisk patched boot image for Android P that we can flash it in fastboot bootloader.
Note: This is not Oxygen OS ROM, this is just a patched boot img for Oxygen OS to make root work. You need to unlock the bootloader before proceeding with anything.
Note 2: Please disable Magisk modules in the Magisk Manager before flashing the patched boot, because some modules might not support the latest OOS and your device will bootloop. If the modules has been updated by the devs to support the latest OOS you can install the modules after that.
Note 3: Sorry guys, I haven't tested the Android Q Developer Previews. Even though Magisk is supported on Q, please flash it at your own risk.
For older versions download from here: Google Drive
Folder updated with Stock boot images as well.
OOS 10 Open Beta 5 Patched Boot
OOS 10 Open Beta 5 Stock Boot
OOS 10.3.1 Patched Boot
OOS 10.3.1 Stock Boot
Flashing instructions:
Code:
fastboot boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
or
fastboot flash boot (patched_boot_filename_here).img
Thanks @vlaf
reboot to system (if you make another reboot the root won't stick, so continue with the following steps)
Open Magisk (in settings select beta channel) and click install and install Magisk again with Direct Install (recommended)
reboot again and the root will stick even after the reboot.
The thread I followed for the instructions is here. Thanks for @b1czu
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-magisk-root-oos-5-1-5-t3794440
Even easier way to root without TWRP:
1. Install OTA update (Don't reboot).
2. Open Magisk Manager, install Magisk and choose "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" (Now reboot).
3. Now you are rooted without TWRP and without any boot img hassles as well.

wow dude that's useful. I don't need TWRP that bad but I need root to use Titanium backups.
Thanks man！

Not work here. Bootloop, only see Bootanimation not more.

Did you try hiding Pokemon Go in Magisk hide? Because the latest update addressed the Pokemon Go issue as far as I know.

Yeah I did, but I rebooted an additional time and everything works now!

Easy way to install twrp is to fastboot boot twrp. From there, you must turn on adb sideload and push twrp to phone because it will not decrypt storage. After install, reboot to recover and it will ask for password to decrypt. Then just flash magisk to have root with working twrp. Also, you have to use twrp 3.2.2 or it will crash.

What about safety net?

The first one, ctsProfile, fails. But the second one basicintegrity passes. I believe the only app I use that checks safetynet is PokemonGo and that works for me.

Did you unlock your bootloader? Don't think you can boot rooted/unsigned images without unlocking first

Yes. This worked. A simple workaround to get twrp working with encrypted Android P

[OOS 5.1.11] Pre-Rooted Bootimage

Hi there,
OnePlus is rolling out the OxygenOS 5.1.11 update! According to this thread, I made a pre-rooted bootimage for you to flash
I used the guide on the mentioned thread and used Magisk Manager 5.8.3 (129) with Magisk 16.7
For those who'd rather like to do it on their own, I'll also attach the original bootimage of OOS 5.1.11.
Downloads:
- patched bootimage [MD5: 5EC7C328AEE0D38B43A2727BCD767378]
- original bootimage (5.1.11) [MD5: B6790A9D38F41E0EBC6830D1076FAFF0]
Video instructions:
The awesome @GizmoFreak made a nice step-by-step video for you! :good:
Special thanks for his guide at @b1czu, [MENTION=4470081 ]TopJohnWu[/MENTION] and @GizmoFreak! Please also give him a "thanks" :good:
UPDATE: Magisk 17.1 was released by @topjohnwu ! Many fixes and most important: "Install to inactive Slot (After OTA)" is back! Upgrading our ROM should now be much easier again since already rooted users don't need to use the whole fastboot thing again. However, for new 'unrooted' users, I'll still provide here the always latest patched bootimages.
Cheers,
T.Bear

thanks do we still need to do the direct install from magisk manager?

Yes, if you whish to keep root. Otherwise your device would take the stock bootimage for the next boot again. This patched one is only for booting with 'temp' root privileges so that you can use magisk Manager to direct install the root stuff to the original bootimage.

does this pass the safety checks?

It's the same procedure as in the thread I mentioned! This is not a standalone 'project', just the missing bootimage for the latest OxygenOS update.
But to answer your question, yes if you follow the instructions on the mentioned thread it passes all checks.
Only if you install things like Xposed framework it won't pass.

I followed these steps -
1. Downloaded and installed 5.1.11
2. Downloaded patched 5.1.11 boot image
3. Rebooted phone to fastboot mode
4. Installed the patched boot image using this command -
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot boot boot.img
5. Phone booted.
6. Opened Magisk Manager>Install>Direct Install (recommended)
7. Rebooted phone
8. Opened Magisk again, checked safety net, failed.
Then I used root checker, even that showed Safety net fail.
But I was able to Play Pokemon Go which relies on safety net
EDIT 1: Added 3rd command which I used but forgot to mention it here ?. Thanks GizmoFreak !

SafetyNet will show the response is invalid because Google recently updated the SafetyNet API. Now developers need to use an API key to access SafetyNet. We need to wait for Magisk to be updated.

What's the benefit of keeping stock recovery and not rooting via twrp?

SOLVED: Flashed Magisk zip from TWRP but no root

Sorry, its been quite a while since ive rooted and im new to Magisk. Im currently on November .a1 update. I followed the below tutorial
If starting fresh from November (.A1.) Update
Install November update
Download latest Magisk Beta (17.3) and move it to the internal storage of the device
Reboot to bootloader
Download the .img version of TWRP for "crosshatch"
In the location of downloaded TWRP .img, open cmd and enter
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-crosshatch.img
Allow twrp to boot (this will take a minute or two)
Then go to install and install the Magisk zip
Reboot and find magisk manager and make sure it says you're rooted
Until there is an update to the patched_boot.imgs, dont follow the how to beyond this point. In fact I am hiding it for the time being.

But I do not see the "MAGISKSU (topjohnwu)" at all. I feel like there's more to root than just installing Magisk from TWRP. I see an "Install" but am hesistant as I bricked my phone last time I tried this.

It is just flash the zip from TWRP. And based on that screenshot it looks like you are done. What happens when you try and do something that requires root?

I usually verify root by downloading root checker app. App says that I'm not rooted.
EDIT: Nevermind, I tried it again and now it says I'm rooted. Thanks!
