[ROOT] [TWRP] on Xiaomi MI 4i without using PC

Here is how to root Xiaomi MI 4i on MIUI 6 / MIUI 7 Lollipop update. The best part is, you don’t have to install a custom kernel just to gain root access on your mobile. We will be using a latest release of SuperSU for rooting this mobile. You can now root MIUI6 / MIUI 7 on Xiaomi MI 4i without using PC using the tutorial below. All you need to do is to download some files which I will mention below.
NOTE: This will only work on MIUI Chinese Developer ROM. Make sure you have installed it OR get MIUI 7 Chinese devloper ROM from here .
This Root allows you to explore system apps and even modify them to your specific need. This will help you to get ported features by developers on your phone and even give you the opportunity to modify yourself. Running low on space? You can delete unnecessary system apps and gather up some useful space all with rooting your phone. This could be useful for budget Android phones that don’t come with a lot of internal storage.
Step by Step Instructions :
Step 1 : First of all you need to download and install an App from Google Play Store which is popularly known as Flashify. (Get it from here!)
NOTE: Give Root access to Flashify App using default Security App on MIUI 6/7 ROM.
Step 2 : Download TWRP and SuperSU Zip file in your mobile from here :
Mod edit: links removed (not actual download links).
Step 3 : Extract the TWRP 2.8.7.0 zip file in your mobile using file manager like ES File Manager.
NOTE: Do not extract SuperSu Zip. (It is Flashable)
Step 4 : Now Open Flashify App that you have downloaded in Step 1
Step 5 : Select Flash Image file and Choose twrp-2.8.7.0-ferrari.img file and Flash it. Now Reboot your device and you are almost done.
Step 6 : Switch off your device again and press Volume Down + Power Button simultaneously. Now you will be in TWRP Recovery Mode.
Step 7 : Tab on Install and navigate to SuperSU Zip file. Just flash it by swiping below and you are now completely done. Just Reboot your device.
That’s it! Your Xiaomi MI 4i is now rooted on Android 5.0.2 official software. Check the SuperSU app in your MIUI home. Also, verify with Root Checker App to confirm.

I have installed the Chinese developer ROM, and want to give root access to flashify but my "permission manager" keeps crashing..
I am doing something wrong I guess?

I rooted my phone when it was on Miui 6.x.x (with TWRP).
Currently on 7.5.1
Each update retains TWRP - so after each update, I simply root by booting into TWRP and flash the lastest Supersu zip file.

I've just updated to 7.5.2 via OTA. Then booted to TWRP to flash su. Rooted. Done.

Please guide me to root clearly.. Am again and again doing wrongly..

Does not help!
It does not help on MI4I MIUI 8.0.2.0

twrp manager? you don't need it at all, nor should you need to play with selinux.
Manually download twrp from the thread. Install it within twrp itself using install-install image-recovery.
If you really want to use an app to install twrp, I've had good success with Flashify and didn't need to play with selinux or anything, just downloaded twrp manually, and pointed flashify at it.

Thanx that worked out really good I now have TWRP Recovery on my phone. The Flashify app is a lot better than the TWRP Manager by far. Thank you for good advice.

1. Unlock bootloader via MiUnlock software for PC (you have to wait at least 168 hours)
2. Flash TWRP recovery img via fastboot
3. Download and put into internal memory magisk.zip installer (you need version 20.4 or newer)
4. Install this zip via TWRP
5. Boot into the system and download Magisk Manager apk (version 8.0.3 or newer) then install it.
6. Voilà. That's all [emoji106]
