Hi,
I need to record my call, even in bluetooth (headset). It seems, this is possible only by rooting the phone. Which phone is the easiest to root between OnePlus and Xiaomi one ?
Thanks for your help,

All OnePlus phones are extremly easy to root. Just unlock the bootloader, flash twrp and then flash magisk. Should be the same for Xiaomi devices.
i guess the oneplus 6, easier to unlock the bootloader, to install twrp and then flash magisk, it take you 3minutes, and there is a method if you search that doesn t even need to unlock the bootloader i think. In the other hand you have xiaomi phones, to unlock their bootloader you need to contact xiaomi and give them a good reason why would you do such a horrible thing as unlocking the bootloader and then wait to receive the code to unlock

I have both. I personally think the OP6 is the better device. Rooting is very easy and all it takes is a magisk module to enable. Plus if you're in the US, you'll get a warranty with OP6.

First of all, i apologize for my bad english.
this method will help you to unbrick your Mi Mix 2s!
from :
1. The system has been destroyed
2. "This MIUI can't be installed on this device"
3. Locked Bootloader in global/ china ROM
4. Etc
how to do :
1. Remove the back panel of the phone
2. Do test point #below the rear camera
3. Flash it with MiFlash2018-5-28-0
*before you flash, go to MiFlash2018 Folder -> Mi -> account_auth.exe
login with Authorized Mi Account (thanks for redmi note 5/pro ARP cases)
4. do flash
5. wait for done
6. enjoy ur mi mix 2s again!!!
Basically everyone on the official Xiaomi Support Threads for the Mix 2S says this does not work. Not almost everybody--every single person that has tried it and left a comment about their experience. All you will do if you follow these instructions is permanently destroy your phone and if that is your intention smashing it repeatedly with a hammer is faster and easier.
Sorry, I did for my phone, and it's works
And now I am replying from my mix 2s,
It was bricked XE model with locked bootloader in global rom. Just flash with China rom, and the key is mi flash 2018 with authorized mi account which we posted in miui Russia forum to get authorized for bricked arp redmi note 5 pro

I bought this bricked phone from someone, XE model, he flashed to global rom and forgot to choose Clear All, he check Clear and Lock in Mi Flash,
Then the phone is bootloop for a month, he tried to flash, etc with any methods, flash recovery, etc
That's how his phone system destroyed
Sorry for my bad english
If your system says it got destroyed it isn't destroyed it only locked the bootloader and that means you have to unlock it again to access the rom.
@jhs39 and ryan mixed: You´re absolutely right: Due to a failed flash to Android P, my Mix2s got hardbricked -
only showing 'The system is destroyed' - the bootloader was re-locked - only Fastboot was working.
I was able to re-unlock the bootloader by using the latest MiUnlockTool ( the older ones got stuck at 50%... )
- after that, the phone was booting again and everything was OK. My experience is: forget all workarounds with
deepflash cables, testpoint aso - the possibility to damage the hardware of the phone is excessive and they won´t
lead to success. The only way to get it working again is to unlock the bootloader! And this is working not depending
if usb debugging is enabled or you got ´find my phone´ enabled in your mi.account,....

Hm, maybe we´re going to be a bit OT - I read the mentioned thread - who needs five mi accounts?
I have only one for my three registered Mi´s. I did the re-unlock of my Mix2s two weeks ago and
I checked it again before writing this - it still has permission. So, maybe there are other reasons why
Xiaomi has revoked some people´s accounts permission? Maybe depending on the age of the
account, the region, or they reglement the number? IDK. Only Xiaomi knows...

For backup, cause of hardbrick of redmi note 5 anti rollback, no fastboot, no recovery, etc, the only way is to flash in edl for ubl devices, otherwise for non ubl devices we do test point, not permission to unlock, but permission to flash in edl mode.
Try miflash 2018,go to "mi" folder, login with your account, see unauthorized or authorized.
OK, arb can be a bad trap for owners of redmi note 5, but is it also
applicable to the Mix2s? As I wrote, I used the 'old' miflash_unlock
( ver. 3.3.525.23 ) and after that I flashed from failed Android P to
global dev. and then again to Android P using XiaoMiFlash
( ver. 2017.4.25.0 ). And honestly, I´m a bit scared of trying a new
tool...

I mean the flashing method, not about ARB.
I used that method for my bricked mi mix 2s,
XE model with Locked BL in global rom,
Just fastboot and recovery,
Bootloop,
Everytime i flash with MI PC Suite 3.0 beta, it's detected as Global or XA model, when i flashed, phone bricked again.
I do try unlock BL again, and got message "this account is not bound to device or something like that" in Mi Unlock
So i downloaded MiFlash 2018 + borrow authorized mi account,
Do test point by opening rear side,
Then flashed China Stable or Developer Rom & my phone is up again
I guess your phone is XA, not XE
Sorry, but @Pfofeldix is right. I have the XE model and once I locked the bootloader while being on Global ROM. Phone went softbricked of course, but I used Mi Unlock to unlock it and it went back to life again. Then I've done the whole procedure multiple times and during every single one of them I was able to "revive" my phone.
There's no point in destroying the phone when you can achieve the same outcome with the phone intact, left alone that some people say that the testpoint method doesn't work.
I don't know why some people can't relock and unlock again, but it definitely is possible if you did everything right in the first place.

Because you can unlock it before, when it unlocked, of course you can flash to any rom.
The problem was my phone Locked in hardbrick state,
Mi account not bound to device.
that's why i do test point, i didn't suggest people to destroy their phone, i do for my phone and it back to life. It's ok, i just want to share.

That's a different situation. The person who posted that had 5 accounts. I've used the same MI Account to unlock the bootloader on all 4 of the Xiaomi devices that I've owned. If you got caught using multiple accounts to request bootloader unlock I think Xiaomi always deauthorized the accounts.

Looking for some advice........I've just bought an Honor View 10 and I want to root it (just to use Apps that require root access), i.e. I don't need to flash any images etc as I'm not installing a new ROM
Is this possible straight out of the box? i.e Phone still has a locked Bootloader
If so, is there a guide somewhere on how to do this? ......Cheers!
You should really do some research before asking. Your answers are out there, just look for them.

You REALLY shouldn't have bought any Huawei/Honor device since they no longer give out bootloader unlock codes.
The only way to unlock now is through paid services, so if you still can I suggest you return it and get a phone from another manufaturer like OnePlus or Xiaomi
I know other phones are easier to root since Honor/Huawei aren't giving out Bootloader codes anymore, but that didn't really answer my question though......Is it possible to just root the phone without a Bootloader Code (just root, no flashing)..

No it is not possible. The bootloader code is needed to root/flash. You can like the previous person, spend some cash to get the bootloader code. Hope that helps?

Hi guys,
Just got the Poco F2 Pro, the device feels and looks great, but coming from an OnePlus 6T I've been trying to read a bit more about the Xiaomi unlocking & flashing tricks, as it's a little bit more complicated (and it looks like I got time, since the MI unlock tool will take 168h to let me unlock my bootloader) but there isn't much movement here in XDA so far. What are the ways to hard brick and what should I double check before flashing stuff?
I've seen some people reporting bootloop after flashing TWRP, both 3.4.1B and 3.4.2B, but it looks kinda random and I assumed it can be fixed through fastboot or MI flash tool.
I'm on global MIUI 12 (12.0.1.0.QJKMIXM). Can the Xiaomi.eu ROM be installed on any variant? Are there regional locks when trying to flash ROMs with different bases through TWRP or MI flash tool?
Does it use A/B or regular partitioning?
From what I understand, the only way to actually hard brick (which is a dead end for me, because there is no support here in Brazil) is to relock the bootloader and mess something up. I read that it's possible (and looks like the default behavior) to relock the bootloader through the MI flash tool. Is there any other way to relock the bootloader that I should be careful with? Can it happen accidentally through TWRP or when updating somehow?
Thank you very much!

I'm waiting for my Poco delivery! Coming from OnePlus 6 ?
Hi, I installed the Xiaomi bootloader unlock tool to unlock F2 pro's bootloader and thinking it will say 15 days after clicking on unlock. It instantly unlocked the bootloader rather than waiting for 7 or 15 days.
Now I want to install Xiaomi. Eu from, but I have some questions making me confuse. These Questions are the following...
1:Since the bootloader is already unlocked, and I wanted to use the call recorder function as well, SHould I install Xiaomi.eu from or wait for android 11 in global rom.
2:I have heard people cellphone getting bricked by installing marufrino twrp. Should I wait for official twp recovery, or this recovery just work fine for flashing Xiaomi.eu rom
Kindly give me a suggestion, I am a newbie and need help.

Precisely, OTA allows to update with a recovery rom, not to downgrade.

No need to post You tube videos showing that everything is possible and easily circumvented.
I know many who regret having used You tube tutorials before asking the questions on XDA.
The safest way is to unlock the bootloader.
Please note that on the video at 7 minutes 36 we see the poco padlock which is open, which means that the bootloader is unlocked.

I recommend these roms, better than stocks (call recorder, full themes, etc).
