Dear Alienn,

The SuperSU step will be performed when you flash the first time the MIUI 8 Stable ROM, so after flashing the ROM you will flash the SuperSU directly.

Note, no need to flash anymore the SuperSU in any second ROM.

Thanks.

Dear Alienn,

The primary ROM can be any custom ROM, but in case if you want the primary MIUI then it should be the Stable one, and don't use the "Dev ROM". It's recommended to be any xiaomi.en Stable ROM. As for me I am using this stable ROM https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298923113 .

Thanks.

Nice Tutorial, after 28 my mit reboots to twrp i had miui 8.1.6 as primary rom and lineage14.1 as secondary rom in data Slot what is the mistake?

 

[Corn Flake]

I tried it to install miui as data slot(from lineage) but when i choose miui and restarts phone it bootloops until i reflash kernel from lineage and it boots back to lineage.

 

[Mulham82]

Dear Dennis,

This means that you faced the 5 times vibration and then the phone rebooted to TWRP, and this because your data is encrypted, so to fix this you have to (Format Data) from TWRP and flash back the MIUI stable from xiaomi.en

Thanks.

Thank you for the quick response.

I give it another try, should I wipe only data?
Is data always encrypted after Flash miui over twrp?

 

[Mulham82]

Dear Dennis,

Yes, the data will be encrypted after flashing/updating the "Official ROM", so to avoid this try to flash the ROM from (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/7-1-12.37476/).

Note, format the data from the TWRP and this will delete everything in the internal storage, so backup your data, and then flash the MIUI Stable ROM and SuperSU and then reboot.

Thanks.

Root fails on my data rom,

I usw lineage14.1 they removed root
Flash supersu over dbp fails even with twrp

Thank you

I did every procedure but it's still giving 5 vibrations and going to twrp.

I did noticed twrp says "data successfully decrypted using default password" does this mean my data is still encrypted?

Ok, but can I install the SuperSu App into the secondary ROM?

And, what happens if the Supersu zip, flashed for primary ROM, is not compatible with the secondary ROM ?

Then use some other compatible zip, yes you can install su on secondary rom, which is actually must to boot back into primary rom.
