Hello people,
This is for Mi Note Pro (leo)
Disclaimer:
1st Method (THE EASIEST AND SAFEST!)
1. Go to http://en.miui.com/download-273.html and download the Developer ROM
2. If you have downloaded the file through your phone it will be in the Download folder, if not plug your phone into the PC and move the .zip file over to your device.
3. Open Updater app, tap on 3 dots to open the menu and tap on Choose update package
4. Navigate to where you have put in the zip file and click on it and let the phone update. (This will wipe all your data apart from pictures etc.)
5. Once it has loaded go through the setup. Open Security app > Permissions > Root Access.. There you are all done
Make sure you open an app that requires root access first before going to Security app as it will not show up on there.
2nd Method (Advanced Users!)(Temporary TWRP Recovery)
Requirements:
fastboot driver (Link attached)
common sense

1. First of all download all the things you need. Which are fastboot driver, twrp and supersu. All links are above ^ Copy SuperSu over to your device and keep other files on your PC
2. Power off your device and turn it back on by holding Power button and Volume Down at the same time. This will get you into fastboot menu.
3. Woohoo great now what you will have to do is plug your phone to your PC using a usb cable.
4. Open up the Command Promt and navigate to the location of your fastboot driver. Mine is C:/adb so I would type cd C:/adb in the command promt
5. Now type in fastboot devices just to make sure that your device is listed correctly.
6. Extract the TWRP zip so you have just the .img file. Place it inside same folder as fastboot. I tend to rename it to twrp.img (makes lifes easier)
7. Type fastboot boot twrp.img
8. Now your phone should boot into TWRP!! Go to install and flash the SuperSU zip.
9. Reboot and you are all rooted with Stock Recovery and Stable ROM!
3rd Method (Advanced Users!)(Permanent TWRP Recovery)
Requirements:
fastboot driver

7. Type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
8. Now your phone should boot into TWRP!! Go to install and flash the SuperSU zip.
9. Reboot and you are all rooted with TWRP recovery, the only problem is that your OTA updates will break. You can flash them manually, when Updater downloads an update go into TWRP>Install and navigate to downloaded_rom folder
In case you need to go back to stock Recovery because you have flashed TWRP Permanently please follow instructions on this thread.http://en.miui.com/thread-124319-1-1.html
