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

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?

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.

[08.01.19][Guide] ROOT S9+(Exynos)Magisk + OEM fix + EFS Backup Tool

Here is script for Root + OEM Fix for S9+
READ THIS BEFORE ROOTING DEVICE
- Any of below said method to root will trip knox and void warranty forever.
- Root process needs wipe data so make backup of important data (including Internal Device storage) before proceed.
- As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Secure folder forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help. (hope in future we can get it working on tripped knox device). Also you may not able to run some banking apps, but for that there are some workaround like Magisk Hide or SU hide, google it.
- OTA likely won't work once you root device.
- To unroot device completely, simply flash Samsung stock firmware, Remember, Unrooting won't revokes warranty nor you will be able to use Secure folder/Samsung Pay. Once rooted, these feature gone for you unless some magic happen in future and may find a way to use it.

What is OEM fix?
Since Note8 samsung have introduced OEM unlock control remotely and flashing any custom binary removes OEM unlock option and rebooting in this state it ends with custom binary error and have to flash stock firmware. OEM patch will retain OEM unlock option in spite of having custom recovery. If you are not sure your device have OEM issue then there is nothing wrong to use 'OEM patch' option.
If you don't have OEM unlock option out of box then it may appear after 7 days, before this nothing can be done. Also this suggest, you have OEM affected device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to Root device
1.Enable Developer Option (settings - about phone - Software information - Tap 7 times on build number to activate developer option in settings menu)
2.Enable OEM Unlock from developer option (Currently no workaround for those who doesn't have this option)
3.Download and copy G96*_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V*.zip to Ext SD card (There is different files for Oreo & Pie according device)
4.Download TWRP for S9+
5.Switch Off device
6.Press Vol down + Bixby + Power to reboot to download mode, press volume up when asked to continue to download mode
7.Download Odin and open it, Disable 'Auto reboot' from option menu of Odin
8.Select TWRP (tar image) with AP tab of Odin and Start
9.Once Successfully flashed, you will see 'Passed' in Odin tab
10.Disconnect device and hold Vol down + power till screen goes off, Now immediately press Vol Up + Bixby + Power to reboot to TWRP
11.Select to allow modification
12.From TWRP, Select WIPE menu - Then FORMAT DATA - You need to type 'yes' to perform wipe. WARNING : This will erase all data including Int SD storage from device
13.Once format device completes, go back and select REBOOT' Menu and then - 'RECOVERY', This will reboot to TWRP again
14A (If you are ion Pie).
Now select Install and navigate path to Ext SD card - N965F_root_OEM_issue_devices.zip, you have copied earlier, select desired root method and select 'OEM Patch' option if your device have OEM issue. If you are not sure about this then better select 'OEM Patch', this will prevent losing OEM unlock option and so prevent 'custom binary error'
OR
14B (If you are on Q)
Flash Latest magisk & then DM-VERITY, FORCED ENCRYPTION, AND DISC QUOTA DISABLER
15.Once flash successfully finish, Reboot to System
Important Note for Pie OS -
1.You may find OEM option disabled after root by above method, Even if you enable and reboot, again it will be disabled. This is because of kernel is patched while rooting device to prevent binary errors. So ignore this OEM status as it is.
2.Magisk app may not be there in drawer. Simply Download Magisk app for Pie attached here and Install as regular apk.
Root device with Q
Flash Latest magisk & then DM-VERITY, FORCED ENCRYPTION, AND DISC QUOTA DISABLER

Same here. Magisk seems to work very well. I tried using supersu and suhide, but it wasn't passing. I need to be able to hide root, and Magisk does a great job at it.

Oh wow i haven't seen you since the note 2 days as I skipped upgrading Note series as well as S series. Good to have you here

Has anyone tried this root method? Does it work perfectly without boot loop or bricking the phone?

This works fine here with supersu on G965f/D.

Tried this method. Was able to flash recovery successfully and install the zip but after clicking reboot to system, it won't boot the phone

It is possible! You're kindly invited to visit my thread! ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/thread-t4017391

Might I add something. After doing all the steps of thimprfct , enable developer option again and see if oem unlocking is there and tick on or else if you reboot the phone you will be stuck on ONLY SAMSUNG OFFICIAL DISPLAY. So don't reboot until you see the oem unlocking ticked on in developer option. It will appear after a day you flash the patched boot file.

@Star Dust,
[good that you mentioned! I will add that issue in my thread. thank you!
I've added the issue to the guide, to make it complete.]
I'm happy that you were able to root your device through my guide!
afaik & spoken from my own experience, oem unlock button should be enabled automatically after flashing the patched boot.img.
this is what magisk generally does.
a wait time of 1 day or more is NOT what happens
if you already unlocked the bootloader before root.
this is a WRONG information.
and also a wrong information is, that everyone is stuck at the samsung boot logo when oem unlocking is off/the bootloader is locked again while rooted.
normally, what happens is, that your device becomes unrooted and/or does a factory reset.
there must have been another issue! ---
are you sure that you have enabled oem unlocking before root, as in the guide?
make sure to disable system auto update in developer options after root!
rule of thumb:
[the steps you made before root on your phone- think about them also after root. what I mean is, your device was reset, so some settings have to be re-applied (eg looking if oem unlocking is on).]
there's smth more to look at, after root.
I'll post a thread with more guidelines, soon.
what else have you done in/with your phone?
please tell me & let's see if we can reproduce what has happened!
always best wishes for you!

@thimprfct
It happens to me a couple of times. I already rooted my j4 core even before you posted your tutorial.
Everytime I flash the patched boot.img or even doing a factory reset while rooted, the oem unlock switch disappear briefly in the developer option. If I restarted the phone before the switch appears, boom the phone always got stuck in ONLY SAMSUNG OFFICIAL message and then I rebooted to bootloader and it states the KG STATUS : PRENORMAL when it should be just CHECKING if your rooted and the oem unlock switch is tick on. I reproduce the issue many times. I flash the patched boot.img then reboot to recovery then factory reset then set up the phone then install magisk app then activate developer option and oem unlock switch is not there. It always appear to my phone after a day or atleast more than 12 hours.

btw @Star Dust, thx for your honesty! (that u rooted before my tutorial & didn't have your problems because of my tutorial) I appreciate that very much!
1.)while rooted, you can update magisk (patched boot.img) through magisk manager app. this way you avoid yourself much trouble.
in magisk manager settings you can tick the option: 'magisk hide-hide magisk from various forms of detection', this could help with your phone.
in magisk manager app main screen where you can update magisk/magisk manager, open the advanced settings & untick: preserve force encryption, preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity, recovery mode. take care that these 3 are always unticked.
when you have twrp you can tick recovery mode to use it through magisk, but you will need a special module before you can use it.
2.)try flashing magisk patched boot.img without factory resetting your phone.
the phone will wether factory reset by itself after flashing (you only have to press one button during the boot process), or it boots straight to the home screen.
If you really want to start clean, I recommend to reflash your firmware with odin & re-root instead.
at least before we hopefully have a twrp!
best regards

Nice job man, much appreciated.
If you ever get bored try to make a pre-rooted rom/safestrap recovery (course no bootloader unlock) for the G930U/G935U with the latest firmware UUESACSI1 (Aug 27 2019), since it looks like Samsung has stopped updating this phone, or better yet a root-patcher for a stock sytem.img like you did for the G950/N950. I have uploaded the latest eng-boot vA/10 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...postcount=1826

First of all, thank you so very much Jkruse! I followed all of your instructions and everything went perfectly! The reason why I wanted to get this completed on my old S5, is that we want to gift this phone to my wife's mother. The catch is, she only speaks Russian, and I was wondering if I would now be able to flash an international version of firmware on the S5, so that she can have access to Russian as a language option? Is this doable?

Its really no easy process to flash an international rom if you are using Verizon then data will probably not work with out some editing. You can always try it but Verizon will probably need Verizon csc stuff to work and build.prop edits.

Hey thanks for this post! I was worried about using some of the old guides on my phone, glad I found this.
However, I have a question due to why I want to root my phone.
My situation: My phone went through the factory reset process without giving me a warning before doing so. I plan on rooting my phone and trying a few different methods for recovering the files.
My Main Question: Will I be good to go with a fully rooted phone after completing step 12?
I don't feel a need to unlock the bootloader for what I'm doing (although I might do so anyway after I'm done attempting to recover files).
I've never rooted a phone before. Aside from verifying that I'm using the EMMC 15 chipset (I used the eMMC_CID_Checker_apk from this thread:https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve.../testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529), is there anything else I should do or know about?

By the time you root there will be no files to recovery. There is another wipe involved to root so chances are there will not be much left to recover

I'm wondering if he's wanting to root to use a file recovery app, like DiskDigger. It can recover but device needs to be rooted to access the complete internal system to recover files. As he mentioned a few times about recovering/restoring files. I recall using that (DD) a couple times and it actually worked after I mistakenly did a full wipe/reset when I was switching between ROM's and back to stock...

Like i said though in order to root you have to wipe again before you can root. So there aren’t going to be much left to recovery after 2 wipes and a repartition

Yeah I figured, makes sense, but I don't see a mention of wiping before step 12 though. This is why I'm asking if it would be okay for me to stop there, attempt to recover some files, and then continue with the rest of the steps?
Could this potentially screw something up if I do it this way? I'd rather play it safe than sorry, most of my important stuff on this phone is backed up anyway.

Ah, I see, but would it be safe for me to stop at step 12 anyway?
I figure I might as well give it a shot anyway, even if It's unlikely I'll recover anything, but I'd rather only wipe it a single time than twice.

If you stop at 12 you will just have king root and some apps work with kingroot but some do not

Requesting a way to root my one plus 8t .

I'm a Newbie basically.
Last time I rooted. Phone was a Samsung from 10 years ago.
I've been. Out of the game for a While and would like some help... Appreciate you time whoever saw this

First you need to unlock your bootloader by rebooting into fastboot, connect to a PC, use
Code:
fastboot flash unlock
then follow the instructions on screen. After that, follow the link below.

Will it still work

As long as you can unlock your bootloader, you can also use a custom kernel that provides Magisk right in the img, like Handelin

Oh damn.
Am I going to not be able to watch Netflix in hd and use banking services what are they saying online you lose the l1 certificate?

Forget about Kernels. Get Magisk after u root as a start. Find urself some good modules. Then move on to shifting between roms. Get to kernels later.

Everything works. MagiskHide rules.

Just unlock, root via Magisk, try some Mgaisk modules for now.

Once u have unlocked bootloader and rooted once. U can use app like SwiftBackup to create a backup for all app data. What u can do right now at max is create a copy of ur internal storage somewhere on ur pc.

Yes Google Backup for pics contacts and stuff. Use Drive for files. Copy contents of ur internal storage to a folder on pc then paste them back later.

Or...use OP Clone Phone (or it's predecessor) to make a backup before unlocking the bootloader. Copy the backup directory off the phone, have your way with the phone, , copy it back & restore. It's not as good as Migrate or Swift, but doesn't require root.
