Is it necessary to flash DmVerityDisable zip? - Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers

I will be unlocking my bootloader soon. I am currently on Miui v12.5.1 Global Stable. After unlocking the bootloader i have planned to flash twrp and ArrowOs. But in a thread named "Safety way to Unlock Bootloader + Flash Recovery + Root" i found that after flashing twrp i have to flash a zip named "DmVerityDisable". Is it necessary to flash this "DmVerityDisable"? And what is this "DmVerityDisable" zip about?

No, it's not necessary.
Unlock bootloader, install TWRP, install ArrowOS, format DATA, reboot.
Don't do any other wipes before or after flashing the ROM

What the DmVerityDisable.zip does? And why don't i need to wipe system/internal storage?

That's simply how it's done.
Take a look at the ArrowOS, you will find the same instructions there.
No DmVerityDisable.zip is needed, no need to wipe system/internal. Just make sure to format DATA after flashing the ROM.

According to your bootloader details you are at a good starting point. Here is what I recommend you do from here:
1. Download a custom recovery like TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558503
2. flash this in bootloader mode. If you don't know how here is the help thread you need to read through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593382
3. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSu or other root app (google is your friend.)
4. Stick with the rooted rom you have or flash another of your choosing.

Not impossible for you because your bootloader is unlocked and you are S-Off. You are always able to root and flash.

Why are you using a toolkit to flash recovery???
Just download from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
or download the unofficial TWRP from the original android dev section if you plan on flashing an AOSP or CM based Rom and then fastboot flash recovery recovery_filename.img
Easy peasy. Too many links is an error that should have nothing to do with flashing recovery...

You need to type the filename of the recovery file you download. Either the recovery filename you are typing is wrong or the file is not in the folder you are trying to flash from.

Yeah, you need the bootloader, radio, vendor images. It's probably easier to just flash 6.0.1 from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#bullhead

So just to clarify, its not even possible to update a phone's bootloader, radio, and vendor.img via TWRP right? Must be done via fastboot?

Vender can be packed into a flashable zip on our nexus. I'm not sure about the radio and bootloader on our nexus phone. Htc if s-off can flash radios I'm sure of and lg g2, g3, etc can flash loki bootloaders from a custom recovery. But you have got to be careful when your writing data to these very sensitive partitions because 1 screw up and you have a hard brick

We can use fastboot to flash radio, bootloader, and vendor.
So this is basically a flashable zip for people(me) who are unwilling to go back to stock 6.0.0 from whatever ROM there are on and apply OTA updates?
Right now, I'm unlocked and rooted, stock with ElementalX kernel(6.0.0) flashed, can I just flash this, then reroot?
This zip includes 6.0.1 kernel right?
Thanks in advanced, I'm new to the Nexus phones

I believe you still need to fastboot flash the radio and bootloader. The vendor.img there is a TWRP flashable zip in the pure nexus project thread

Alright, so I have to flash this zip file, reboot to fastboot, flash radio and boot loader and I'm done? And I can proceed on to root the whole thing again and stuff? Is that right?

If you aren't on the latest radios/bootloader, just do a full wipe in TWRP, then reboot to bootloader and fastboot flash radios, bootloader, and vendor.img. Then reboot to TWRP and flash the ROM.zip
There is also a TWRP flashable vendor.img courtesy of Beanstown106
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087014896
You can either flash the vendor.img in fastboot or flash it in TWRP with the flashable version

How To Root Oxygen 5.1.7

Oneplus updated the OnePlus 6's Bootloader and you may ask yourself 'Can i still root?'
The answer is yes. It is easy.
1. At first, your bootloader has to be unlocked
2. Just download the Twrp.img and the Twrp installer from twrp.me, then the latest magisk installer
3. Put the magisk.zip and twrp installer zip into the root of your device and boot into bootloader
4. Now you have to open a new shell or cmd window in your adb folder, then type "Fastboot devices" there
5. If your phone is recognized, then do this command: " fastboot boot .\twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img"
6. The op6 should boot into the TWRP, there type in your pincode, pattern, or what so ever you have. If you get a message because of system modification, click 'Keep read only'
7. Go to 'Install', then flash the TWRP installer zip, then magisk right after it
8. Just reboot and enjoy
The procedure is the same as always. I can confirm it's working because i rooted a few minutes ago
Just keep in mind the kernels and custom roms haven't been updated to 5.1.7 base yet and may not work until they are.

Based on how things have been going so far, people are going to be asking. Just saying.
i understand butttttttttttttttttttttt this forum is flooded with how to flash twrp, how to root with 5.1.6, how to install 5.1.5 with twrp ect ect ect lol just trying to reduce clutter and make things a tad bit simpler. No offense guys lol
So if I already have twrp and Magisk installed is the method still the same?
Will this update lock the bootloader back?
Pretty sure I swiped to allow system modifications on my first twrp installation so will that matter?

You can follow their installation guide: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-stable-release.56191/.

For updates, wipe Cache/Dalvik in TWRP then install the new ROM over the old one. Be sure that you are installing ROMs from the same channel (Stable or Weekly) and that you are not downgrading, otherwise you would need to format data.

During installation, you need to format data in TWRP which removes encryption by itself. No need to flash any other disable encryption ZIPs.

Wait what? I'm on xiaomi.eu 12.0.8 and my data is definitely encrypted. Meaning I have to enter my lockscreen password after I boot into TWRP, otherwise it's unable to mount any of the partitions (well actually, it does mount them but I only see garbage folder names, can't do anything else except wipe).

Encryption = setting up password/PIN/pattern. To remove encryption in TWRP, simply remove any password/PIN/pattern that you set up on lockscreen.

There is no working TWRP for OOS 11, so you can flash this via fastboot.
I was looking into porting TWRP for OOS 11, but when I dump a list of partitions on my device there is no recovery partition at all.
It looks like OnePlus A/B devices have recovery within the boot image, so that makes things a little more complicated than I can handle myself.

Not unless you have to unlock your bootloader first, then yes. It'll wipe your phone. If your bootloader is already unlock, no it won't wipe anything.

One plus switch only backup the apps not their data, permission etc. Not sure of contacts and sms.
I would suggest backing up all your data,on a pc and go from there. Once you are rooted , backing up data and restore is easy.
