Yes Rooting is working i check it Personally and about Xpose its Difficult. Because i dont own Redmi 4 Prime but i Try on my Friend Mobile, so he do not want to take the Risk

Does this have OTA update later ?? Or N ?

Question; does the same twrp image work on both the standard redmi 4 snapdragon 430 as the redmin 4 prime/pro which has a snapdragon 625. I own the first, standard redmi 4. The video (screenshot) shows redmi 4 but can this be confirmed?

No you cannot flash this on Redmi 4 but you can download the Redmi 4 From their Miui Site.

I've tried it on on another rom and used and re-used the uninstaller zip - it works perfectly.
I probably made 4-5 cycles of install + uninstall of xposed (for logs, toggles in installer etc')

thats great

Stuck in fastboot

Solution to below problem found in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I tried to root my OnePlus 7 Pro, somehow managed to get it stuck in fastboot. No matter what I flash or do to reboot, it just boots back into fastboot.
Normally I'd just flash stock recovery / ROM found on OnePlus' website, but they haven't added anything for OnePlus 7 (Pro) yet.
Anyone got any clue about this?

I did all the steps and installed xiaomi.eu rom. rom works perfectly. but only recovery asking for decryption everytime, is this normal?

I've already flashed the eu rom using this recovery, there was no problem. The above issue is coming while trying to create a backup.

So I did as instruction and flashed MIUI EU Stable ROM. For some reason when setting up the phone, any PIN, password or pattern I set up is good to go. But can't use it to unlock the phone or inside setting, it will tell me that the password is wrong. I've factory reseted multiple times to make sure i got the password/PIN correct. And it won't let me set up fingerprints as well. So I did some reading and maybe the problem is because MIUI only allow setting up PIN/fingerprint when device is encrypted? and the last zip file decrypted the device?
Anyone can help me with this? Thanks!

cc9 meitu edition (vela)
@Radzią
Hi, can you please make a twrp for cc9 meitu edition (vela)?
cc9 meitu version does not have any twrp or alternative rom. only chinese.
Alternatively, If you have the time, knowledge and motivation, maybe you can post a detailed tutorial on how you have created this twrp, [Recovery] TWRP-3.3.1-0709 XIAOMI_CC9-CN-wzsx150?
maybe I can try to port one myself based on your tutorial.
I have tried to port cc9 meitu twrp using many guides from the web, but did not succeed.
I uploaded the original recovery for cc9 meitu to here https://we.tl/t-NtcZIhWoiD
thanks.

How did you root it without twrp? Just using fastboot/adb with an unlocked bootloader I assume? Thank you.

Oh nice, thank you for the rapid response. Unfortunately I do not yet have a X5 Pro, I'm actually waiting for custom roms to appear, ever since Xiaomi baked gestures into the stock launcher I stopped buying phones until I could custom rom. Nova Launcher is a must for me and using it without gestures feels wrong. I was just curious as to how you rooted without a custom recovery. Very interesting you are using magisk on a different device to patch the boot image in the fastboot rom, which I assume you will flash using the mi flash. Is that what's happening? Thank you.

One is for fastboot rom
2nd is for recovery rom
Depends on the rom u falshed during flashing using mi flash tool
For fastboot u will use receovey comand
For bootloader rom u will use boot command while flashing boot. Img
Hope it will help u and others
Also yeah these are the silly things I wanted to root this phone. Navigation or lockscreen wallpaper suggestions or annoying box icons etc etc
