Dear Great Developers,
I am unable to root the new android phone from Redmi 8A Dual using Magisk 20.4 (20400) and Magisk Manager 7.5.1 (267).
I have tried Patching Boot.img (From official Mi Rom) with latest Magisk Version in normal mode and recovery mode too. But there is no success. The weird part is the TWRP 3.3.1 is also not giving any kind of error. Process Completes Successfully without any error but after rebooting in normal mode, Magisk Manager is showing no Magisk is installed. Bootloader is unlocked. MIUI 11.0.6.0 Stable (PCQINXM)
direct magisk zip flashing or flashing magisk boot image doesn't work on miui. You've got to patch your boot image differently in order to successfully install magisk on your device.
Patch your bootimage via https://patcher.yaalex.tk/. flash it using fastboot or custom recovery,then flash magisk zip.
Note: patch and flash only the boot image of your specific rom, if your rom is 11.xx.6 then flash boot of that version only, don't flash boot image of any other version of rom.

I dont know why, but with rmn7p (violet) I can directly flash magisk then the device is rooted, but rm8a is failed, I tried your way but failed again at the patch site, it said something is wrong with boot.img
finally I find out a youtube clip that has links of patched boot.mg of some MIUI versions of rm8a, I tried the 10.3.3.0 one and got successful

Hello excalibur
I already tried patched boot image.
Boot.img is from official Stock Rom which my mobile is currently using (So there is no issue with boot.img)
Next I patched boot.img with the link you provided as well as Patching via Magisk Manager.
Flashed both patched Boot.img files using TWRP recovery and orangefox recovery.
Both didn't showed any errors, infact the flashing result showed was successfull.
But when I switch on in normal mode magisk manager showing magisk not installed.
(
Mobile phone Model = Redmi 8a Dual
Bootloader status = unlocked
MIUI 11.0.6.0 (PCQINXM)
Codename of Stock ROM = Olivewood
MIUI ROM (treble)
)

No need to patch it twice. Just use the site once

:cyclops: No you got me wrong. I patched only once. I mean to say I patched image via magisk manager and flashed it. It didn't worked. I again tried patched image via url provided and flashed successfully. It also not worked for me.

Yours is the ONLY relevant post I found on redmi 8a dual rooting. Could you please send me the link to the custom recovery you used ? I flashed unofficial twrp and OrangeFox for OLIVELITE (8A); thought both 8A and Dual must be same. Now my phone is stuck at fastboot screen. Fastboot flashed recovery successfully but couldn't boot recovery later.
Waiting to hear from you. You're probably my only help at the moment.
Also, if you have it, could you also give me the stock recovery image for this phone ?

Thanks ! I flashed vbmeta. The phone boots in recovery mode but touchscreen doesn't work. I think this is because i flashed recovery of Redmi 8A. But my phone is Redmi 8A DUAL. Could you please send me the link to the recovery for 8A DUAL ? I've tried a lot, but couldn't find.

Is the touch not working for orangefox as well, i faced that problem with unofficial twrp of redmi 8a in 8a dual, but orangefox was working, currently no recovery specifically for 8a dual.

Yes, tried twice. Touchscreen not working in Oraangefox either.
Is there somewhere I can find the stock recovery of this phone ? My phone is not even booting normally, it boots straight to recovery. My phone has been rendered completely useless at the moment. Could you help ?
I should mention that I used OrangeFox beta version. That was the only orangefox I found.

This problem of touch not working in recovery, an other user is also having this same issue on 8a dual. he flashed another version of fastboot rom but the problem still persists. I've provided the link to download stock recovery for 8a dual.

You, are a life saver ! I never thought I would ever be so happy to see a stock recovery.:laugh:
Flashed it, wiped all data, and phone has now booted successfully. I would never have found this stock recovery if it weren't for you, since there aren't even ROM download links for this phone.
There are virtually no rooting resources for this phone. Sticking to everything stock for now.
Thanks again !
You wouldn't have boot.img for this phone would you ? Reckon I can still root this thing by patching boot with magisk.

There are rom links for this device, you probably haven't searched enough. Its not yet listed in miui rom website, but the rom links are official. I've got bootimage for 11.7, 11.4 and 11.5 , which one do you need.

Yes, sorry it seems I did not search for rom hard enough. Perhaps because my focus was on trying to get recovery working.
My rom is global 11.0.6. There are no updates.
I guess the reason there are no OTA updates because I have unlocked my bootloader and did change the recovery. Never mind, I'll download the updated fastboot rom and extract boot image from there. Thanks for everything, mate!
hi guys, i was on android 11 open beta 4 , tried to update to oxygen os11.0.1
phone is rooted and followed the usual procedure for updating

plz help to unbrick the phone

Okay, you shoudnt have flashed TWRP . There is no work TWRP for A11 unless you are decrypted.
Get into fastboot mode and flash the stock boot.img.
