I applaud your detailed description of how to do things. I spend hours last month to root my phone until i realized that almost all guides were flawed... One comment. You can optimize the description for easier reading cause there is a lot of excess info but other than that Well Done! This topic should be pinned somewhere

[Guide]Rooting VK World Mix Plus without unlocking the bootloader.

Normally, the Mix Plus' bootloader can be unlocked quite easily:
1. enable OEM unlock in developer settings
2. open adb and type "adb reboot fastboot"
3. type "fastboot oem unlock"
4. press "volume up" to confirm
But what do you do if your volume button is broken? Well, you won't be able to flash any of the TWRP builds floating around for this phone because that requires an unlocked bootloader. However, there is another way:
1. unpack the official firmware (link is straight from vkworld.cc)
2. delete "checksum.ini"
2. move "boot.img" to any android
3. install magisk manager (tested with latest v7.4.0)
4. open magisk manager, press "install" and select "boot.img"
5. open /downloads, rename the new .img to "boot.img", and move it back into the stock firmware
6. plug in the Mix Plus while it's completely shut down
7. open SP Flash Tool (tested with v5.1824)
8. in the "download" tab, select "scatter.txt" under "scatter-loading" and "download only" in the drop-down
9. press the "download" button

Packages to remove:
everything with "prize" in the name. That includes the launcher, have a replacement ready. You should also remove the theme store, the system updater, and voice recorder.
Enabling full rotation:
adding windowsmgr.support_rotation_270=true to build.prop does nothing. Editing ro.sf.hwrotation rotates the display, but not the touch. Use Pranav Pandey's Rotation

hello guys, is there any kind of unofficial lineage OS for this smartphone? I can't find anything.

In every thread I found development stopped after they got TWRP running. It's a shame because VK's skin can't be trusted. Removing the packages I named disables the adware, but there could be spyware I missed.

Note: Windows XP/7/8 users don't need to do this.
1. Uncompress and pick the minimal adb and twrp provided from the zip file.
Alternatively, you can Download Minimal ADB tool from https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
or Download the full setup Android Studio from its official source https://developer.android.com/studio/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpdiIlpfh5QIVks13Ch2bUw8REAAYASAAEgJW9PD_BwE
Note: please dont forget do a complete backup of your data before start!
2. In your Lenovo Vibe B, enter Settings and Enable Developer Options:
Settings -> About Phone -> Tap on the Build Number around 7-8 Times until you see a message "Developer option enabled"
Now, you need to enable the OEM Unlock. Go to Settings -> Developer Option and Enable OEM Unlock. Just as simple as you hear!
3. Go to the folder you uncompressed the Adb tools.
Open a command tool right there (CMD or powershell). After that, turn off your phone.
Now press and hold power and volume up button keys at the same time and you'll see three options: Fastboot mode, Normal mode and Recovery mode.
Confirm Fastboot mode pressing Volume up until you point/reach to the fastboot option and confirm pressing volume down to enter, wait for the fastboot message in your phone. Now, connect your phone to the pc using an good usb cable.
4. Type in the cmd screen
Code:
fastboot devices
command and check if the phone is being recognized. This command list the connected devices.
If your phone serial number shows up everything is fine, but if the phone serial number doesn't appear, you must reinstall mtk drivers or choose another usb cable.
5. Check the unlock oem
typing the command
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
and press enter.
Alert: This procedure will erase your data and reset to the default configuration. Be careful! Check unlocked oem confirmation message on your phone screen.
6. Now is the moment of install the TWRP recovery.
To flash, type the following command in the cmd window:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Press enter and wait for a confirmation message.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Press enter and wait for a confirmation message.
7. Turn off the phone. Press and hold power and volume up button keys at the same time and you'll see three options.
With the volume up key, point to the Recovery mode option and confirm with the Volume down key. Wait a little and now you are into twrp 3.1.1.0 recovery. In the finishing touches, configure the twrp recovery and choose power off option.
Second part: install LineageOS 14.1, Gapps and SuperSu to the Lenovo Vibe B
8. Uncompress the LineageOs folder and copy to an external SD the Lineage Os, Gapps and SuperSU zip files.
9.Turn off your phone, pull out the battery, insert your microSD to the phone. Turn on your phone and start it in recovery mode just as stated before in step 7. Now, you are into TWRP
10. Do a wipe in order to delete the Stock rom. Tap Wipe option, then choose advanced wipe and pick the following ones:

System
Cache
Data
Confirm the wipe option swiping to the right and wait the confirmation message. Press back option and return to the main twrp window
11. In the main twrp window, tap the Install option, locate your microSD as externalSD tapping in the select storage to activate the external SD. Now search the files into the SD, pressing in the "up a level" zone and after you reach it, install the following things in the exact order:

After that, choose the Gapps zip file, swipe again to confirm and wait.
Finally, choose the SuperSu zip file included in the folder, do a swipe, wait.
If you want, its possible install all the zip files as a bunch using the "add more zip option" that twrp offers to you, but I prefer do it each one by one.
12. Do a final wipe choosing "wipe Dalvik and Cache".
13. Now choose the restart/reboot option. Wait for the phone initial setup (around a couple of minutes)
14. Configure the phone with your android account preferences. install your favorite apps, sync your info, etc.

[GUIDE][UNLOCK][ROOT] How to unlock bootloader, flash LineageOS 20 ROM and root Xiaomi Pocophone F1

This guide is for those who still own a functional Xiaomi Pocophone F1 which released back in 2018, and still want to get more "life" out of it since Xiaomi will unlikely offer anymore system updates. Shout out to @Retrial for the numerous amounts of resources he's made available online and @bgcngm for his contribution by providing the latest installment of LineageOS 20.
Now, throughout this guide, I have linked the page or post based on information I gathered to put this guide together in order to credit that person instead of having to name drop them individually. These are fully detailed instructions to make it easier for newbs.
I've spent the time figuring all of this stuff out so hopefully you won't have to. PLEASE DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP. REPLY TO THIS GUIDE BELOW, THANKS. NOW LET'S BEGIN!!!
1. Since the release of this device, Xiaomi has switched up their bootloader unlocking process so with that being said, these instructions are being laid out on the premise that the bootloader to your device has already been unlocked so if you need further assistance accomplishing this task, please refer to this guide I made previously that breaks down the process.
2. Once the bootloader is unlocked and after the device reboots for the first-time prompting the initial setup, power off device and put it in fast boot mode (Vol down + Power button).
3. Download the latest version of ADB Installer. Setup Fastboot:
a. Run the ADB setup file, and answer each of the following questions accordingly followed by the 'Enter' key:
"Do you want to install ADB and Fastboot?" type Y
"Install ADB system-wide?" type Y
"Do you want to install device drivers?" type N
After completing the installation, you should see the ADB folder located in "C:\".
b. Ensure USB Debugging is already enabled on your device prior.
c. Download and install the latest Xiaomi USB Drivers for your PC, connect the device to the computer via USB cable, and confirm that your phone shows up recognized as "Android Bootloader Interface".
NOTE: If you experience the following error: "Windows encountered a problem installing the drivers for your device – Android ADB Interface... The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt or the victim of tampering."
To counteract this issue, it's necessary to 'disable driver signing enforcement' in Windows to install Unsigned Xiaomi drivers:
Hold down the Shift key while accessing the Start menu to restart your PC.
Once the "Choose an option" screen appears, go to "Troubleshoot" –> "Advanced options" –> "Startup Settings" –> "Restart".
After your PC restarts, select "7" for startup setting "Disable driver signing enforcement".
d. Launch "Command Prompt" on your PC and run the command:
cd C:/adb
To show a list of devices (including your phone) connected to your PC, enter the command:
fastboot devices
4. Download the TWRP recovery file by REIGNZ v2 and here [twrp-beryllium-v3.7.0-A12-V2.img] and copy it into the ADB install folder.
NOTE: Boot loop after updating LineageOS via TWRP recovery
NOTE: "Press any key to shutdown" error while in fastboot mode:
This is due to Windows automatically installing Kedacom Device Driver when using a Ryzen PC. No matter how many times you install drivers, your PC will install this driver again, forcing you to have to resort to using an Intel PC.
NOTE: Use TWRP by REIGNZ based on A9, NOT A12 to flash DFE.
5. Flash custom recovery file in CMD, run commands:
fastboot flash recovery "twrp-beryllium-v3.7.0.img"
fastboot boot twrp-beryllium-v3.7.0.img
NOTE: If receiving error: "FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed)", try using a different USB (3.0) port.
6. Your device should've automatically boot into TWRP custom recovery; If a Password Prompt appears, tap "cancel" to enter into the main menu.
a. Go to Wipe –> Advanced Wipe, and wipe just the 'data' partition; click 'Back' to the main menu.
b. Download Disable Force Encryption [by Retrial] (DFE) then copy it to "This PC\POCO F1\Internal Storage\TWRP"
c. Install DFE, "Reboot System" followed by holding the Vol Up + Power button to enter into TWRP custom recovery.
7. Now your device is ready for a custom ROM; Download Poco F1 LineageOS and vendor 13.0 firmware.
a. Since LineageOS doesn't automatically come included with Google Apps [for legal reasons] so you're going to need to download Retrial-NikGApps-19-04-2023 or other equivalents separately.
b. Copy over the ROM files into "This PC\POCO F1\Internal Storage\TWRP": the vendor 13.0 firmware, the LineageOS build, and the Google Apps downloaded earlier.
c. Start by installing the vendor firmware followed by the LineageOS file, and the Google Apps.
d. Lastly, clear the "Cache & Dalvick" and "Reboot System" back to Android.
NOTE: Do NOT forget about installing the vendor firmware to prevent further issues.
8. LineageOS 20 based on Android 13 should now be fully functional.
a. Your Mi Account must be added to your Mi Settings
Wipe –> Format Data
9. Go to Settings –> About phone –> Scroll down to "Build number," tap it 7 times to become a "Developer".
a. Go "back" –> System –> Developer options –> Scroll down to "Verify apps over USB" and disable it then scroll down to "Default USB configuration" and change it to "File Transfer".
10. Now, you will need to install Magisk by using the Patch Image method.
a. Pull down the Notification Bar from the top of the screen and change "Charging this device via USB" to "File Transfer".
b. Open Lineage OS build [e.g., "lineage-20.0-20230422-nightly-beryllium-signed"] and copy "boot.img" to the phone's internal storage (e.g., "Download" folder).
c. Download the latest version of Magisk (Magisk v26.1) and copy it to the phone's internal storage and use the native "Files" app to install the apk.
NOTE: Magisk binaries (ZIP) are included within Magisk Manager APK file and you don't have to download it separately.
d. Launch Magisk from the app drawer and go to "Install" under Magisk –> "NEXT" (beside "Options") –> "Select and Patch a File" (beside "Method") select the "boot.img" you copied internally –> "LET'S GO".
e. Copy the generated patched file from your device and place it into the ADB folder; NOTE: you may have to unplug and replug then reconnect the USB cable for the device to refresh itself in order to reveal the newly generated file. Flash it via fastboot by running the following commands:
cd C:/adb
fastboot flash boot boot.img
f. Reboot into the new ROM and voila!
fastboot reboot
g. Use an app such as Root Checker or BusyBox Checker to confirm root status.
h. To bypass/restore SafetyNet validation, open the Magisk app, go to Settings (cogwheel icon) and enable MagiskHide (instructions).
i. To check the device's SafetyNet status, use an called SafetyNet Helper Sample or SafetyNet Checker in the Play Store.
