[Quide] How to install TWRP, gain Root and install XIAOMI.EU rom

[wwwwe]

This guide was almost directly taken out of XIAOMI.EU website. I just wanted to spead the wisdom and grow Mi Max 2 community.

If your device is not locked:

• Install TWRP via Fastboot mode, then install XIAOMI.EU ROM.
  

  fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
  fastboot boot twrp.img

• For root install SuperSU 2.82 in TWRP

If your device is locked:

• Unlock your first bootloader here http://en.miui.com/unlock/. You will need a PC and it might take about 72 hours.
• Install TWRP via Fastboot mode, then install our ROM.
  

  fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
  fastboot boot twrp.img

• Wipe /data partition
• Copy XIAOMI.EU ROM to the internal storage
• Install the ROM with TWRP
• Reboot

Unlocked Bootloader Hassle?

Hi all, I am considering buying the Mi Max 2 (sale today, they finally have a black version).

And of course TWRP/root it. I already own the Mi Pad 2, and the issue I see here is that after bootloader unlocking I get confronted with this nasty warning screen on every boot. Even worse, it does not continue booting until I confirm (press volume up key). This is even true for battery loading animation. Extremely annoying.

Do you see that same behavior on your unlocked Mi Max 2?

Thank you for quick reply!

No such issue

I do not have such issues after TWRP+root. I listed some of the other issues that I have in my review. However, I think none of those are very major and most of them can be fixed be software update (or possible me finding the right settings for the phone).

Thanks, I placed an order, at USD 249 for a black Mi Max 2, cannot really go wrong. Let's see how this SD625 performs in real life. I have a Letv X900 with an excellent display and super-smooth experience, so I am somewhat spoiled. But it does have limited battery life, so I expect this to be drastically better with the new Mi Max architecture. Not sure though if I prefer smooth performance or longer SOT.

hey how backup stock recovery?

 

[ondoy1943]

1. boot twrp recovery, do not flash it permanently, like so:
fastboot boot "name of twrp recovery.img"
2. while in twrp, do a nandroid backup including the stock recovery.
3. if you wish you can then flash permanently the twrp recovery within twrp itself or else reboot to system.

I have mine unlocked today. Recovery is on the Max 2 but when I flash the latest Miui 8 Global - the phone stuck at the bootlogo...

Does it need Internet connection while unlocking the bootloader?

Can I use the phone while unlocking it? Does it need Internet connection and what is the requirements by doing this? Does it need to be always connected on a PC?

What if I just want root while keeping the stock ROM, how would I go about doing that? Do I still need to install TWRP?

to get root you need to flash either SuperSU or Magisk. it can be done via TWRP only.. there are other methods you can root without TWRP recovery but TWRP is the easiest and safest way..

after flashing root solution you can always go back to stock recovery over TWRP recovery but it is just pointless doing so

Hi
I'm stuck on Mi logo after flashing TWRP. The only thing that appears on the screen is Mi logo and "Unlocked". I downloaded "TWRP Oxygen2".
What shall I do? Anyone?

Edit: solved via MiFlash
