Let me introduce you how to flash MIUI build.
In this guide, we will take "Nokia-miui10-2019-02-13.img.xz" build for example.
Part 1: Bootloader Unlock
I won't introduce you how to unlock the bootloader for your phones here.
Part 2: Install latest Android Pie build
I'm not sure about latest Android Pie build for Global Android One Devices, but AFAIK the Chinese builds we've tested are all [fih_codename]-347C-0-00CN-B04, January 2019 Update.
Make sure you have installed this build.
For your convenience, you can download following full OTA that we tested:
B2N-347C-0-00CN-B04: https://ota-filesite.c2dms.com/SWImage/500002276
Part 3: Flash the system itself
Download packages from ROM topic, and make sure you have extracted the img.xz file.
You must use Platform Tools provided by Google: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
I'm not sure if Minimal ADB and Fastboot package is usable.
Boot your phone to Fastboot / Download mode, then execute this command:
Code:
.\fastboot flash system D:\Nokia-miui10-2019-02-13.img
To flash the system image to your current slot, no matter if it's slot A or B.
Format the userdata partition and reboot bootloader again to prevent temporarily boot failure:
Code:
.\fastboot -w reboot-bootloader
Part 4: Install permission patches to patch vendor, and root it
Boot into TWRP temporarily, but it depends on you if you want to install TWRP permanently:
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-0-t3892644
In this example we do not install TWRP permanently.
Swipe the button to allow system modification, and connect your phone to PC, copy FBE_Disabler.zip, Magisk-v18.1.zip, Permissiver_v2.zip and vendor-2019-02-16.zip you downloaded to internal storage of your phone.
In case you want to ask, Magisk can be downloaded from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tap "Mount" on your phone and check both "vendor" and "system" partition to mount them.
Click back, Tap "Install", and install these 4 zip packages in character order.
After installed, please reboot your phone and ignore the TWRP Official App installation prompt.
Please wait at least 3 minutes for booting.
After your phone boots, you'll find the default language is Simplified Chinese. Here's how to to change the language to non-Chinese:
- Open "设置" (Settings)
- Tap "更多设置" (More Settings)
- Tap "语言和输入法" (Languages and Input)
- Tap "语言" (Language)
- Choose your own language
Hope you can find it lol.
Then, please download and install Magisk Manager on your phone and reboot your phone.
Part 5: Fix Xiaomi Account issue, and GMS feature
Copy "MIUI_Account_Fix.zip" to Download directory of internal storage, and add this as Magisk Module under Magisk Manager, then reboot.
If it's too difficult for you to enter your phone to MTP mode, here's the trick:
- Connect your phone to PC when screen UNLOCKED
- When the phone prompts "USB is connected", tap the prompt
- Tap "Data Transfer (MTP)"
- You may need to drag the notification center and choose again
- Copy required files
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy gms.apk to your phone and install it on your phone directly. Install it may take few minutes and please wait patiently. After installation completed, you can login both Xiaomi Account and Google Account properly.
I needn't to mention how to replace the camera, it's pretty easy.
That wraps up the whole guide.

Done a nice work mate ...

Wondering if this could run on the Aquos S3 6/128 .. it's basically the same hardware

No you can't, as I've tested it on Sharp Aquos S2 SS2 and SAT.
FIH already abandoned both S2 and S3 and they even don't release Android 9.0 for them unlike Japanese Sharp Android One devices.

Pretty much sucks, I have an S3 6/128 with locked bootloader, seems it sadly going to stay at Oreo with that silly UI on top of it :crying: ... too bad, the device looks great and is of a good quality built

[PE-TL10] [BOOTLOADER] Alternative procedure to unlock bootloader

Hello!
For all of PE-TL10 Honor 6 Plus people, this is a procedure I tried to unlock the bootloader.
As you know, you cannot anymore ask Huawei for the unlock code. If you like me are in this condition, try this procedure.
It is the same procedure you can find here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/alternative-method-unlocking-bootloader-t3799294
with just a little edit for this device. So full credits must go to @@NayeBunny. Well done mate!
CAUTION: YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF DATA. DO A BACKUP FIRST!!!!
STEP 1 - Rollback
You need to be on Lollipop 5.1.1., EMUI 3.1. I tried this procedure in firmware B332.
If you are already on Marshmallow, EMUI 4.0, then do the following:
- go to https://www.hihonor.com/my/support/phones/honor6plus/
click on the choice menu "HONOR 6 Plus Dual SIM 3GB+32GB (PE-TL10)"
You will find 2 options which are equal. Choose the second one (will return more firmwares to download)
Click on Firmware Download
Download BOTH HONOR 6+ RollBack Package Android Marshmallow to Android Lollipop and HONOR 6 Plus Firmware (PE-TL10, Android 5.1.1, EMUI 3.1, C900B332, South Pacific, Channel-Others)
You will find instructions anyway the procedure is this:
- unpack the Rollback package and extract the UPDATE.APP file into a "dload" folder which must be in the root of your INTERNAL STORAGE (I have read various posts about putting it in the sdcard*, I put this in internal storage and worked)
* maybe because it is intended /sdcard/ , anyway not the external storage.
- turn off phone
- press vol+ vol- and power togheter (you can release power button when the Honor logo appears, but keep the volume buttons pressed until you get the EMUI update screen
When it's done, unpack the UPDATE.APP of the other package and put in the dload folder of the phone (of course delete the previous one!)
Do the force update procedure as before.
STEP 2: Root
We need to be rooted.
I used Kingroot for it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=29834
You can find instruction here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
STEP 3: the magic code
Now we are all set up, you need to activate USB Debug first (or download a ADB package as in the first link I provided).
Just go to Settings - Phone info and click repeatedly on Series Number (the second line, below model number) until you get developer options turned on.
Go back, open Developer Options and turn USB Debug on. Authorize your computer when you connect the USB cable.
Now, do this:
Code:
adb shell
Then
Code:
su -c "grep -m1 -aoE 'WVLOCK.{14}[0-9]{16}' /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 |grep -aoE '[0-9]{16}'"
(here is the difference, the code info is in mmcblk0p6 in this phone)
If all goes well it will be returned a quite long number. Copy it.
Exit the shell (typing "exit", pressing CTRL+D...) and then
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
And finally
Code:
fastboot oem unlock ****************
in place of the stars paste the number you got.
I did this procedure and I unlocked my bootloader. Let me know if it works for you!
I hope this can help people to develop good ROMs for this great device!

Sorry for the necro.. but does this method works on Honor 6A Pro for unlocking the bootloader ?

Hi,
no idea... just have a try!
As per original post, the procedure to unlock bootloader should be equal for the P8 and for other Huawei devices (like the PE-TL10): maybe just the location of the code info could be different (mmcblk0p6)

can some one provide the links for same device please?
PE-TL10 area c185​I couldn't find no where!

It seems not working links anymore!

Hmmm...
Yes, I checked and those inks are linking elsewhere. Moreover, I can't find a mirror or another place hosting these files.
Sadly, I don't own amymore this phone and I deleted all of PE-TL10 files from my computer.
The only solution would be someone who downloaded these files, when they were available, to upload them somewhere.

My bad

Root (almost) every device with Magisk + Fastboot

ROOT (ALMOST) EVERY DEVICE WITH MAGISK + FASTBOOT
As an Android user, I understand how frustrating it will be when you desperately look for an exact rooting tutorial for your device but end up finding nothing, all one-click root tools do not work, or no custom recovery made for yours.
So, this tutorial shows you how to root a wide range of Android devices (not all, because there will be exceptions, I guess) with Magisk. First, we should take a look at the pros and cons, so that you can generally acknowledge this method.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROS
- No custom recovery (TWRP, ClockworkMod,etc.) needed
- Easy to find prerequisites
- Successful root attempt CONFIRMED on my 10 devices (including popular devices, rare devices, and devices with OS based on Android)
- Support recent Android versions, including Android 10 (tested on Google Pixel XL).
CONS
- Phone brick might occur
- You might not find your device's firmware in .zip format, which will stop you from using this method.
- Not being able to unlock the bootloader (only on some device) will stop you from using this method, too.
That's about the pros and cons. I hope you guys all understand these points before going to read my tutorial and start your attempt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS & STEPS
I. REQUIREMENTS
- Your device's Android version is 5.0 or up. If it's below 5.0, then you can root your device easily with any one-click tool.
- A computer & USB cable.
On your phone
- Download & install Magisk
- Download the exact firmware version (in .zip format) of your device and only extract the boot.img to any directory.
On your computer
- Download & install Fastboot, extract the folder to "Downloads" directory
- Download & install Android USB driver for Windows
(I am not sure if XDA allows inserting links in threads or not, so please search for these prerequisites on the internet, it is easy)
II. STEPS
1. Unlocking your phone's bootloader
- Open Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number about 7 times till you see a notification "You are now a developer"
- Now in the About phone tab, you can see the "Developer option". Tap on it and make sure:
+ the OEM unlocking is turned ON
+ The USB Debugging is turned On
- Plug your phone on your computer (with Fastboot & driver fully installed). Allow the USB Debugging notification on your phone
- Open Command Prompt on your computer. Enter commands below steps by steps:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
(press Enter after each line to proceed)
- Your phone will reset to the bootloader menu after these commands. Next, enter this:
fastboot oem unlock
- A message asking you to make sure you want to unlock the bootloader. Use the volume and power button to choose "Yes". Your phone will reset data and reboot right after.
*Note: This method works on many Android devices, but doesn't on many devices. You might have to google a method for your own phone
2. Patching the boot.img file
After you extracted the boot.img from your device, use the Magisk app installed on your device to patch it up.
- Click the "Install" button on the first line
- Click "Select and Patch a file"
- Choose the boot.img file extracted. The patching progress will start right after.
- You will receive a file named "magisk_patched.img" after finished.
3. Flashing the "magisk_patched.img"
- Copy the "magisk_patched.img" into the Fastboot folder
- Reboot your phone to Bootloader mode by powering off and then hold Power + Volume down button simultaneously
- Open Command Prompt again, and type:
cd Downloads
cd fastboot
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
- The flashing progress will begin. Wait until it finishes, and type the last command:
fastboot reboot
- Your phone will restart once again, and of course, with root access gained
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNROOT DEVICE
- If you want to unroot your device, you just have to flash the original boot.img file, with the same steps with flashing the magisk_patched.img!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This instruction is not truly detailed, so maybe you might encounter some difficulties at some point. If any, please feel free to leave your question below.
It is also the first time I create an instruction post, therefore I appreciate all of your comments. Thanks a lot <3

It's different for a/b devices where root has to be accessed by booting into the phone from recovery to boot with root

DON'T DO STEP 6 ANYMORE after done it ONCE. Will reset countdown timer if you do that.
SIM card inside phone with mobile data doesn't need to be the one linked to Mi-account. Can put a different SIM card as long as it can use mobile data.
Only during step 6 you turn off WIFI and turn on mobile data.
Can do whatever you want to WIFI and mobile data anytime before and after step 6. There's no restriction other than step 6.
Can remove your SIM card once step 6 was done. But you still need the number linked to Mi-Account accessible to receive SMS if Mi-Account ask for verification.
7. Wait for 7 days (Day 1). DO NOT LOG OUT your Mi-Account on your phone.
Try not to use phone too much as later will do factory reset and loose all data.
Or backup manually. Not gonna write how to backup.
No need to connect internet (mobile data and WIFI) all the time.
Can use your phone
Can even power off phone in the meantime. (Thanks for @kamild_ answer)

Only Official MIUI ROMs may have ARB index.
Customs ROMs should not have ARB index.
If your device is Anti version: 2,
1) you can flash Rom with Anti Roll Back (ARB) index: 3, 4, 5, 6... etc. and the Anti version will become 3, 4, 5, 6... etc.
2) you can flash Rom with ARB index 2, and the Anti version will remain 2.
3) you CANNOT flash Rom with ARB index 1. Don't use that ROM in anyway, flashing through custom recovery will likely brick your phone.
4) If ARB index is 0, that means no ARB of that ROM. It will not check or change your device Anti version.
Make sure look at ARB index of MIUI ROM and Anti version of your phone. I don't have your phone. You decide to flash.

Q. Why not use Mi-Flash?
A. Because one may easily accidently Clean All and Lock with different region MIUI and brick the device.
Go Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40 and see how many users brick their device using Mi-Flash.
Be sure to check ARB index of MIUI.

Are you sure your phone is Global? Which country?
What version of MIUI?
How did you flash your boot image?
What partition did you flash the boot image into?
Were you using this one? If yes, flash the boot.img from here into your phone boot partition and see if your phone can boot up.
Boot your phone into Fastboot or TWRP. If you can, there's still hope. Do the step in above Unlock bootloader step 18.

How you going to patch boot image if you cannot get into MIUI and use Magisk to patch boot.img?
You will need another phone to do that though.
Safe way is to do a complete clean data format and flash MIUI Rom.

i have another phone to patch it but the problem is what version should be used for patching magisk 22 or the latest one? how to flash miui rom and can i now go back to miui 12.0.4?

Now my suggestion is to do a Clean complete Rom install. So all your data and files will be gone.
If you agree to clean all your data, follow above Clean Flash custom ROMs. Start from step 8. When you need to get into Fastboot, do it manually.
You don't need to download ArrowOS. Download MIUI 12.0.6.0 Recovery Rom and flash through TWRP.
Don't think of Magisk and MIUI 12.0.4.0 just yet. First get back to be able to see MIUI working.

Do I have to keep a SIM card in the phone throughout the entire unlock process? I would be taking it out of my actual daily driver phone so I'm just curious

You don't have to keep that SIM card after you done Unlock bootloader step 6.
You can remove your SIM card once step 6 was done. But you still need to have the number accessible to receive SMS if Mi-Account ask for verification.

Did you lose anything by unlocking bootloader? Like Widevine or something. Also, any special partition or file one should backup before unlocking (Not counting user data)? In Sony phones user have to backup TA partition or they will lose some features.
Thanks in advance

I have the latest arrow os on poco x3 pro now. But magisk failed to be installed.
It rebooted fastboot mode repeatedly after flashing magisk_patched_[random_strings].img.
If I flash original boot.img, it can be rebooted to system.

If this procedure doesn't work with the file “init_boot.img”, then use the file “boot.img” instead and follow the same procedure.
F: Install TWRP
To be updated once the official TWRP for this device is available.
G: Install A Custom ROM
To be updated once official custom ROMs (Lineage etc.) for this device are available.
H: Return To MIUI
1. Your Bootloader must be unlocked (see Point B)
2. You must enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" as per point A.2.
3. Download and put onto your computer the latest fastboot ROM from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/fuxi/ and unzip it.
4. Switch off your device. Now enter the fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and connect your device to your computer.
5. In your computer (in the folder where you have put your ROM) please click the file:
a. “flash_all.bat" (if you want to make a clean install but keep the bootloader unlocked).
b. “flash_all_except_storage" (if you want to make a clean install but keep your data and maintain the bootloader unlocked).
c. “flash_all_lock" (if you want to make a clean install and lock the bootloader).
In all three cases (a., b., c.) when flashing is finished, restart your device.
If my guide helped you, please click "thanks" and enjoy your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
1. Waiting time to unlock the bootloader
Q. If I receive the message: "unlocking can be done after 72h or 168h or 360h etc.". Is there a way to skip this waiting time?
A: Unfortunately you have to wait for that time to pass. There’s no way around it (that I know of). It seems like new and never used (to unlock bootloader) accounts receive a shorter waiting time.
2. Unlock procedure stops at 99%
Q: If my unlock procedure stops at 99%, what could be the problem?
A: Most problay you're using two different Xiaomi accounts. You have to use the same account that you have added into the device also in the unlock tool otherwise it will not work.
3. Recommended ad-blocker (for rooted devices)
Q: I want to block the advertisement in all apps, what app can you recommend?
A: If you decide to root your device, then you can install AdAway from here: https://adaway.org/. In order for AdAway to work properly please add in the Magisk App the Systemless Hosts (Magisk/Settings/Systemless Hosts).
4. Retaining the root after ROM update
Q: If I root my device as per point C, E of the AiO and I install a system update in my device, is the root still available?
A: Unfortunately root will be removed after the system update. So you have to repeat the procedure in point C, E.

I need to correct you, sorry. After manny tries, unlocking xiaomi 13 is:
you mod boot.img and init_boot.img with magisk
fastboot flash init_boot *init_boot_moded.img*
fastboot flash boot_ab *boot_moded.img*
fastboot reboot
Unfortunately root has no full access, no access to /system so android auto, even if moded to system app not working. build.prop also not editable by any way
I got stock builds from https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-13
tried on 14.0.4 and 14.0.9
At some point something went wrong and phone went in fastboot loop reboot. Susccesfully flashed using MiFlash20220218

If the link does not lead to the download and requires a subscription to TG, you must edit your post and delete the link. XDA rules.
But you can put it online via a cloud.

The reason behind the system partition being unreadable is that Xiaomi is using the new EROFS filesystem, instead of the old ext4. EROFS provides way faster reading and writing speeds, as well as saving space by compressing files dynamically. EROFS stands for Enhanced Read Only File System, so as the name suggests, there's no workaround to edit system files unless you have magisk.

Hey bro, does your build plan include pixel experience? I would love to experience it on Mi 13.

TWRP for FUXI

Whats Xiaomis current policy about root and warranty, i remember they used to be "friendly" about it.

Wish they shortened the unlock waiting time to couple of hours, i'd consider another Xiaomi again. Last one was Xiaomi 9, I had to wait 2 weeks while phone being unused (not rooted = insecure).

Dumb question:
If i unlocked bootloader, flashed another rom (like global or EU) , can i relock it ?
And later, if i want to unlock it again, do i have to wait another 7 days?

You can lock the bootloader only with stock roms.
Chinese model, locking possible only with a CN rom.
Global model, all roms except CN.
No 7 day waiting period if you use the same account.

I'm holding off on buying a global device for if/when AOSP custom ROMs come out.
Thanks for the thread!
