What are the complete steps to root?
Download this stock boot.img, patch it with magisk manager and then flash the patched boot.img to phone in fastbootboot mode using fastboot adb

one noob question : will the rooted mi a1 get further OTA updates?
Yes it will get updates but only if you root using Magisk, using supersu will bootloop your phone after a new update

Do not flash patched kernels. Just use CFAR: https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:1748/firmware:13240/download/t1.cfar/landing


Use CFAR or TWRP + Magisk.
ok so
- i should patch lastest CFAR (same build i have) from temporary TWRP or miflash, right?
-2nd question : what's the use of unlocking the bootloader? allowing temp TWRP boot or flash custom recovery ? is that absolut necessity (unlocking) ? i just want the root to kill the ads.
-3rd question : not sure if miflash needs unlocked bootloader or not.
-4th question : miflash can flash whatever you want it to flash, like odin? even nonofficial firmwares?
-5th question : i read about A/B slots, do i have to choose which slot to install CFAR in? is it auto?

so if i understood evrything correctly i just have to (unlock bootloader?) flash latest CFAR from [temp twrp] or miflash, install supersu & voila! ?

- and last question : messing with system will kill OTAs but i can flash next CFARs manually ?

i know thats many questions :D thanks for your patience
i need to understand the whole process before trying anything. #noob

1. No. Just run "root.bat" script from unpacked CFAR archive. Device must be in bootloader mode. Bootloader must be unlocked. Wait, until process end and after reboot install apk SuperSU.
OR
Temporarily boot TWRP and install latest Magisk.
2. Unlocked bootloader allow to flash device partitions. Yes, it is necessary.
3. Not needed. Use fastboot directly.
4. Use fastboot directly [2].
5. It is auto. Used active slot.

After root etc. - you can't install OTA. Must flash ROMs manually.
