Guys I'm on global Miui 8 Global 6.7.5 beta. I tried to root and install twrp using mi4i rooting toolkit version 4. But it doesn't work. Previously on miui6 and miui7, I can root and install twrp using the mi4i toolkitV4. But now it doesn't work anymore when I upgraded to miui8.
Does anyone knows how to root miui8 global 6.7.5 beta?
Rooting
First you have to enable developer options. Then in developer options under debugging section turn on USB debugging and Fastboot Mode.
Then download TWRP. Rename it to twrp.img for ease.

Install fastboot and adb drivers.

Download root zip file, and place it on internal storage.
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/supersu/
Open the folder on PC where twrp image is downloaded. Hold shift and right click on the window(not the file or folder). Then select open command window here. CMD will open.
Long press power button and volume down to boot into fastboot mode, connect it by USB.
Type in CMD: fastboot devices
If it shows a device is connected you are good to go! If not verify if the drivers are properly installed.
To just root and preserve Mi Recovery for OTA:
Type in CMD: fastboot boot twrp.img
this will boot into twrp to flash supersu.zip file and reboot.
To flash TWRP permanently:
type: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then reboot by long pressing power button then open TWRP by power button + vol up. Then flash supersu.zip

Yape!
Thanks for the article - will update and root tonight
The process:
update via OTA (hate this as my 16GB is insufficient - love all things M1 but hate the lack of external SD capability)
Reboots - it enters my old TWRP, and auto install update
Once it installs, and auto powerup, I turn on "fastboot mode" (developer option was already on) - a pain in the a55 due to the security prompt...
Power-off the device. Reboot to fastboot mode as per instruction above
I chose to retain M1 recovery, and so fastboot into TWRP to install SU.
Reboot
Tested with titanium backup - root works!
Thanks!!!
Love the new notification drawer, and memory management...
can i root my mi4i without instal twrp and still habe ota update if my phone rooted ?
thanks
Yes.
The OP posted 2 methods for using twrp near the end of his post.
For v7++, I could always ota despite having twrp onboard, instead of mi recovery. Not sure about this recent v8. Hence I used the first method above, preserving my recovery. Also, from my history of use. I never use twrp or recovery anymore, after rooting. No point having recovery backup as mi issues updates ofyen. I use titanium for backup of third party software only. Even then this is redundant since ota preserves software.

Are you sure you installed ADB Fastboot drivers? and make sure you 'cd' to the directory where twrp.img is located or else it will say the file is not found.
You need to put the both fastboot and image files together in the same directory. Then open a MS prompt in this directory, and type the syntax to flash.
twrp not found??

Hi,
I manage to flash TWRP (i.e. sending recover =OKAY & writing recovery= OKAY).
Yet I could not manage to reboot by long pressing power button then open TWRP by power button + vol up.
Someone can help me?
Thank you in advance

I AM USING ASUS ZENFONE 5 (T00J) RUNNING ON LOLLIPOP
I GOT THE ABOVE SOLUTION FROM SOMEONE ELSE.
NOW MY PROBLEM IS, I AM STILL GETTING ERROR AT LAST STEP WHILE USING ADB SIDELOAD COMMAND, IT SHOWS ERROR >> THE DEVICE IS NOT CONNECTED.
GUYS, PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS PROBLEM,
THANK YOU FOR GIVING YOUR TIME.
- There are some models when the faulty update will hang on fastboot because the previous recovery has been changed. Here my device uses the global NA rom and has rooted the device, and when I updated it from v1.18 to v1.20, when booting up the recovery system failed, I was taken to the fastboot screen and stopped at the fastboot screen.
*TUTORIAL:
- S1: Install driver zte+usb android and adb fastboot tool (if you haven't).
- S2: Copy file recovery.img (of rom global you use) to folder adb
- S3: Open folder adb and open cmd cd to folder adb and type command:
fastboot devices //Check if the device is connected, if not then review the driver
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Done
I want a custom rom and how to root guide for panasonic tab 8 hd. There's an option to unlock bootloader in system settings. So it's easy to unlock it. I think I need to have microG as I have to use Whatsapp for my classes. I can provide you with the details of the device if required.
1. Activate USB debugging
2. Backup all your data.
3. Pull your boot.img and Vemata and save them in your external sdcard.
4. Install Magisk 22.1apk
5. Open it from home page and install the app.
6 now touch Magisk and chose force encryption.and enter
7. In popup dialogue tick selctand patch file and enter
8. Now chose the boot.img file you saved in the external sd card. Now the magisk will process it put the file in your internal sdcard in the download section.
9. Now save the magisk processed boot.ing on your desktop or in any folder and remember the location. It is advisable rename that with 2or 3 letters and paste it in th9/e ADB folder where you have installed the Platform files.
10. Now you open platform folder and open cmd inside the Platform tool. In the ensuing cmd window check for
adb devices.
Your device I'd will come to the next line. Then type
adb reboot bootloader
Now check
fastboot devices
your phone I'd will pop up.
Unlock bootloader:
Type fastboot flashing unlock
then click volume up bottom over.
Not you come again till the step 10.
Rooting process:
Now type
fastboot flash boot " the magisk processed, boot.img which you have renamed.
Now the patched boot.img will relace stock boot.img
Again come back and type
fast boot "-- disable-verification flash vbmeta " put your vbmeta file that earlier you have saved in the Platform folder.
that is all it is rooted.
please note that before starting the root activities you have to unlock your boot loader.
On your own you are doing. I take no responsibility.
by this process only I have rooted the phone. And with WWR MTK Tool and SPFT I have managed to get the stock firmware files. With native preloader. But flashing with this preloader needed patched boot.img file
Start by downloading the official stock rom. If you had a problem with the installation or just want to go back to the original usage
Flash SP Tools
- download the latest version of Android sdk platform-tools
- Put in the platform-tools folder your boot.img and vbmeta.img that you have copied from your previously downloaded official rom.
- Then download the generic system image you want to install, put it in the platform-tools folder and rename it GSI.img
- Put your smartphone in developer mode, in the settings press 7 times on the build number
- In the menu Options for developers that appeared, you must enable OEM unlocking, enable USB debugging
- Connect the smartphone to the computer, in Configuration usb choose Connection sharing via usb
accept the requested authorization on your smartphone,
- In the platform-tools folder enter the command
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock Press VOL+ to confirm
fastboot flashing unlock_critical Press VOL+ to confirm
fastboot --disable-verification flash boot boot.img
fastboot --disable-verify flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot fastboot The tel switch to FastbootD mode and wait for a moment before entering the following command
fastboot delete system
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification system flash Gsi.img Wait for a moment

Can you make a video to review that rom on p11
It has only one flaw,
The PC does not recognize the tablet, it can only be charged, files cannot be transferred and adb does not work either.
