I also have this module installed without problems, as there is no recovey for Pad5, it is a good idea to install in magisk the module Magisk Bootloop Protector, which serves exactly to prevent what you are afraid that happen with your tablet

Thank you for the information. I didnt know such module and I happily installed it. Though I am afraid it did ton fix anything. I just rebooted after installing and the same - several minutes into recovery and finally snapped in and worked : (
Anyhow I installed the module in "Auto" mode. Was it a mistake? Should I have selected other mode?

After unlocking bootloader and rooting is widevine L1 still available?

Edit:
I managed to root the device successfully and also flashed Universal SafetyNet Fix through Magisk Manager and I still have Widevine L1 (Checked both on DevCheck and Netflix app).

I only had one issue with "Hide the Magisk App" in Magisk Manager settings. It returned a 'Failed!' message after pressing the button.
To fix this just uninstall the Magisk app and reinstall it again.

Many thanks @kisielec

Going to order this from the UK website

www.mi.com

Xiaomi Pad 5 - Xiaomi UK

Xiaomi Pad 5 comes equipped with large 11 screen, slim, stylish design,Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 860, WQHD+ 120Hz display,8720mAh (typ) high-capacity battery.
www.mi.com www.mi.com

Have read a few comments somewhere else about an "international version" having issues with rooting

Will I be ok purchasing from that link, updating to latest software and then following this guide? And continue using Magisk alongside Netflix and Adaway?

Any adjustments I'd have to make?

Don't know about any international version, you mean MIUI version?
Btw I don't think you will have problems, just extract boot.img from payload of your current miui version and patch it.

To be fair, I think my version will fall under the EU category, so MIUI?

Is there another version too? What's the difference between MIUI and the other

https://miuirom.org/tablets/xiaomi-pad-5

Have seen for boot.imgs






Will I be fine

MIUI is the OS that comes with xiaomi devices, and depending on where you buy your device from, you might get a China version of MIUI (CN), Global version, European version (EEA), and so on.

Either way you can check in settings by clicking on device info, it's the first option.

Btw you will be fine, don't worry. Just use the correct boot.img (if you're on European MIUI don't use a boot.img from China miui.)

Thanks for the guide. Sorry if this is a dumb question but how am I supposed to unlock the bootloader when everything I read says I require a SIM card in the device? My Xiaomi Pad 5 doesn't have a sim card slot and the countdown timer on the mi unlock doesn't go down as I assume it needs to check the time from a mobile connection.

Create a Xiaomi account, verify it by an email and then use your credentials for log in and unlock the bootloader.

Just wait 7 days / 168 hours, comeback then and click on the unlock (with the devicw connected in fastboot mode) button again. The unlocking process should start. That's how I did with my 11T Pro and Pad 5 and have unlocked bootloader on both.

Yea, but unfortunately as I mentioned that timer isn't moving from 168 hours.

So I've successfully rooted my device without any issues by following this guide, so thank you for that. Now the question is, can I still receive OTA updates or do I have to flash the updates manually from now on?

    Everything you do, you do at your own risk. I'm not responsible for all damages, this can also lead to loss of warranty.

    Hi,
    Probably many of you know how to do a Magisk install without TWRP, but this guide is for people who don't know and don't want to mess things up.
    I will try to show you step by step how to do it.

    Many thanks to:

    Leave them a nice feedback ;)

    !!! Before we start make sure your device is unlocked, if you don't know how to do it below is link to official Xiaomi guide !!!
    https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html

    Requirement
    • Xiaomi Mi Flash ver. =>3-14-0 - Needed to install all adb drivers Download
    • ADB & Fastboot tools - Could be the one built into Mi Flash tool I'll use this to make it simple
    • Magisk =>24.2 - This software is base of our rooting process Download
    • SafetyNet Fix => 2.2.1 (Zygisk) - Needed to backdoor SafetyNet fail check, at the moment it is only working method for Mi Pad 5 Download Make sure you download the Zygisk version!
    • Boot.img - You can download from official MIUI website full flashable rom and separate boot.img file from there, or use my if your Miui version is China 13.0.5, EEA 13.0.3, Global 13.0.1
    ​
    ​
    Installation
    To make it easier, Green color mean what you need to do on Tablet, Orange on PC
    1. Unzip Mi Flash tool
    2. Open folder and run XiaoMiFlash.exe, if window "Driver" won't pop-up click on the Driver tab and then "Install" button and close all windows.
    3. Connect your tablet to computer, when your tablet ask how you want use USB, choose File Transfer/Android Auto
    4. Copy to internal storage Magisk-v****.apk, safetynet-fix-v****.zip and boot.img
    5. Open File Manager on your tablet find a folder where you copied all files, and install Magisk
    6. Open Magisk app, and click on Install in section Magisk, then select "Select and Path a File", after that find your boot.img file and click on it
    7. Click "LET'S GO" button on the right side and wait until process will be finished
    8. On your computer in the tablet's storage window, go to the file specified in the application probably /Download/magisk_patched-*****
    9. Copy this file to a subfolder of Mi Flash on your computer, exactly to MiFlash2020-3-14-0\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Android and change the name of this file to boot.img
    10. Open PowerShell/Windows Terminal in this folder (Hold Shift + Right click -> Open PowerShell window here)
    11. Make sure your tablet have enabled USB debugging in Developer options Setting -> Additional settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging
    12. Turn off your tablet, then hold down Power and VOL- until the screen lights up, then release power button, if Fastboot appears, everything went fine
    13. Go back to your Terminal window and type to check if your computer see your tablet
      Code: 
      ./fastboot.exe devices
      If you see answer "******** fastboot" it mean there is communication between PC and Tablet
    14. Next type this command to flash patched boot image
      Code: 
      ./fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
    15. Next type this command to reboot your device
      Code: 
      ./fastboot.exe reboot
    16. Restart can take a longer time than normal
    17. Open Magisk app and check status of Magisk, if you see for exaple "Installed 24.2 (24200)" everything went fine
    18. Open Settings in right corner of app and in section App click on Hide the Magisk app then type name for hidden app, it will ask to install new app so do it
    19. Open again Magisk app and open Settings in section Magisk enable Zygisk (Beta) and Enforce DenyList
    20. Click on Configure DenyList than click on three dots in right corner and uncheck Show system apps
    21. Search for all the apps in the list below and check them. It is important to click on their name to see all modules, once you have done this click on the box to activate all of them
      Code: 
      Google
 Google Assistant (I have two)
 Google Pay
 Google Play services
 Google Play Store
    22. After that reboot your tablet, and open again Magisk app
    23. On the bottom click on Modules
    24. Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it
    25. After that reboot your device one more time
    26. After reboot open Android Settings go to Apps and Unhide system services than find and clear all data of Google Play services and Google Play Store
    27. Reboot tablet last time
    If you have reached this point it means that everything has gone correctly, probably for about 3 hours you will still not be able to install Netflix and some banking applications but after this time everything will be back to normal, this is because Google's servers have detected that Magisk has been installed but that the application has been changed and Zygisk has been enabled so at the next check it notices that everything is Ok and gives access back.

    Quick explaination what happend here:
    1. Magisk has been installed and device is Rooted
    2. The application has been changed and hidden
    3. Zygisk has been activated and hidden from Google services
    4. SafetyNet-fix was installed, which restores the functionality of SafetyNet and Widevine L1, which is blocked after the installation of Magisk and unlocked Bootloader

    Download the magisk.apk file, rename the extension from. apk to. zip, reboot into recovery, flash this magisk.zip, reboot into the rom, open magisk and allow it to download the magisk app.

    Same as other Xiaomi devices. If you have problems adding your account in the developer options, try doing it while connected to USA through a VPN, that's what I had to do. Also had to update my Windows drivers through Windows update while the pad was connected to my laptop to get fastboot to work, even though adb was ok

    Hi Walimipad and welcome here!
    Doing the first rooting in lifetime was for most of us a special thrill. I didn't yet root this tablet but several other devices. My advice is to read as much as you can find here and elsewhere for your device and then to start (if you know and accept the risks of doing so). For sure you can do some mistakes on your way (as I did also in the past) but usually this forum and its member will give you a fantastic support to get your device working again.
    Regarding your request how to root, why don't you trust and try the very detailed guidance given in the OP's very first post? You only need to junp to the very beginning or just click here.
    Good luck!
