Need help with rooting

[AzureB1te]

So,it's my first time rooting a phone.
I think I understood the boltloader unlocking part,but I'm confused after that.
Also,side question, can the bootloader be relocked after rooting?
I also understand the magisk part,I think,but I'm really unsure about the files I have to download.
So,is there a good guide,or can you guys help me out?
Side question 2 : is it an issue,that I'm running the beta version of Oxygen OS?


Thanks in advance!

Follow his instructions and you are good to go. Works 100% without issues.
Don't relock the phone and it doesn't matter if you have open beta installed.

Because it's not recommended to relock if the phone isnt completely stock. On xiaomi devices you will even brick the phone!

I really just need root to get my GCam app onto my system patition. After that I'd probabily unroot

You can't relock the bootloader if you have done any modifications, the device won't let you boot.

For now rooting is a must for the other camera, but there is a new version that comes out (hopefully) soon that enables other cameras without root or any other modifications.
