TWRP INSTALLER FOR REDMI 8
​

I want to share my tool for installing TWRP for Redmi 8.Tested on MIUI 11 Global 11.0.10.0 (PCNMIXM). Always take a backup of your data before doing this modifications. I'm not responsible if something went wrong and do it at your own risk!!!

About this tool:

• Includes Official TWRP for Redmi 8
• Includes ADB and Fastboot
• Easy to Use

Files:

• TWRP Installer for Redmi 8 - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682873743
• Magisk Zip - https://magisk.me/zip/

How to Install TWRP & Root:

• Unlock the Bootloader.
• Connect your phone with USB cable and put the Magisk zip file to your internal or SD Card
• Turn off your device and reboot into fastboot by pressing Vol down and Power button
• Extract the TWRP installer zip file
• Open TWRP_Installer.bat
• Press Enter to proceed
• Then press any key to install the TWRP and wait to finish
• Press any key again , it will automatically boot into TWRP
• Go to Install
• Find the Magisk Zip File then flash
• Reboot and your done
• Congratss!!! You successfully install TWRP and Root your Redmi 8

Notes:

• You need to Flash the Magisk after you install the TWRP. So that it will not back to stock recovery and the TWRP is now your permanent recovery.
• You can also change the TWRP that I use on this tool. Go to the installer folder and delete the recovery.img then paste the recovery that you want and rename it to "recovery.img"

I've followed every step im this guide with no errors but after reboot after flashing magisk phone boots to normal mode, nothing different other than magisk manager installed and root checker says phone not rooted. Any idea?

Did you try to flash it again on TWRP? Or try to open the Magisk Manager App and go to Superuser and allow the root access on the root checker app

Maybe the root was gone after reset... Flash again the Magisk zip file or install it via the magisk manager

When I first install the magisk , I wait couple minutes and then the magisk manager appears

I am trying to install via the magisk manager but I can't seem to see the right option I have tried download only zip file (dont know waht to do next) and also select and patch a file, where i select the downloaded zip file but I get an unssuported/unknown image format and then installation failed

Update, after restarting phone and not using it for a copuple hours magisk manager still doesnt appear. Question; how to install magisk from magisk manager? Might try install it with the apk I downloaded from magisk manamger website.

Maybe the magisk is now Installed , but if the magisk manager still not appear , install the magisk manager with the latest version

Installed latest magisk manager, it shows magisk not instaled.

Installed latest magisk manager, it shows magisk not instaled.

That's strange... I never face that problem

Maybe the only solution is download and flash the magisk uninstaller , so that it will remove all the magisk files , and repeat the flashing of magisk

So, after ahard reset tried again following yor guide, still not rooted, after that I flashed stock rom to have a clean install and tried the tutorial I posted using a stock boot image patched with magisk and still no root. Is it possible that I am having no luck and you managed to root yours because of different stock roms i.e. Global vs China or Russia roms?

You flash stock rom via Mi flash tool? Maybe because of the rom that you use... I only tested on Global

Yes I flash stock rom via MiFlash tool, and my rom is Global like yours so that is not the issue. Still haven't figured what's wrong.
