Can you guys give me the exacts steps for rooting with this method ?? I have already updated my phone to October boot image.
If you're on Windows, just run the root.bat script found in the archive you can find in the original post.
Got it done !!!! Thank you so much Guys!! Rooted>flashfire> xposed> gravity box :fingers-crossed:
i'm sorry, can you guys give me a little help here? i'm on sep patch, rooted. how do i upgrade to october patch? i already have the files, but i'm not sure of the commands to flash the update and to root after
I flashed full fastboot rom in miflash, seleted "save user data", then apply october update and then root.
Thanks buddy. I was trying to avoid the mi tool, because i own a macbook and i can't always access windows. I have to figure out an alternative way for future updates
For now unfortunately I think it's the easiest way to do it.
Is it possible to relock the bootloader after rooted? I've tried with "fastboot oem lock" but I got "Your system has been destroyed" message and it doesn't boot anymore until I've unlocked it again...

Scenario 1.
Easier way is to update Oct OTA from current slot and reboot . See if you are successfully booting up and you should be unrooted now. Then go into fastboot, fastboot boot boot.img(Oct cf auto root img) . Wait for it to exit fastboot. This can take few mins..once booted up flash fire will be able to get root access and you can inject supersu via that and profit.
Scenario 2
If you update Oct OTA from your current slot and you get error. Then boot into fastboot and type below command
"Fastboot set_active x" (your other slot a or b)
If above doesn't work, then
"fastboot --set-active=x" again here x is slot you have to change to.
Once you have changed slot successfully, then fastboot reboot..
Now you'll be in unrooted slot. Update Oct via this slot and it should go through without issues.now your other slot which is rooted is also updated to Oct. Now make slot b active via fastboot.
follow same fastboot boot boot.img and get root access and flash su via flash fire. Done.
So for every future update your slot which is unrooted is available for OTA and you can root the rooted slot by cf auto boot.img..peace..
Because I don't need root, I only want my build.prop updated with the eis and camera API 2, then I prefer to relock it.
Unlocking bootloader has nothing to do with root , I mean you can have unlocked bootloader and be unrooted so you can have the OTA update without Any issue
But NEVER EVER lock your bootloader if you modified anything in system , keep it unlocked and be happy
Thanks guys, i ended up flashing stock rom with mi-flash tool, then update to october patch, then root with magisk and twrp
Sorry for newbie question: after flash this will the phone will be updated OTA (example November build) and will it be rooted automatically?
I don't think it will buddy. At least it didn't (from sep to oct). Maybe the flashfire can install the november update without issues. lets see
While updating to Oct build, by flashing full rom via mi-flash tool,
Did you lose the user data, or any apps etc.. or were your phone working with all apps, data still there ? (did it work similar to dirty flash ?)
Didn't lose any data at all. MI tool has an option to preserve user data
Confused
Having read a couple of posts with confusing information, I don't know if using this CF auto root method is safe to ensure those future updates (some comments say this will affect them)
I just got the Mi A1 recently and already updated it to the Oct patch. I'm not rooted yet. These are my queries—
1) I should now just run the root.bat file from this thread, right?
2) Will I get the November update?
2a) If yes, will it replace root and unroot my device? I don't mind as far as it doesn't stop the Google Camera port from working
2b) If no, what do I do to simply make the build.prop edit to make the camera port work and unroot the device to keep getting updates going forward?
Hope my questions are accurately represented, for you to help me, and that I'm not missing something in explaining my concern.
Hey, I'm rooting simply to make the build.prop changes to activate camera2 API to use the Google camera port. I don't need to do anything else and I'd also want to continue getting future updates seamlessly.
