As descriped here. This worked on my MI11

Yes. I patched my boot.img with magisk, then flashed it using "fastboot flash boot_ab magisk_patched(boot.img file name).omg"

Caveat: I bricked my device like many others after unlocking the bootloader and flashing xiaomi.eu ROM. I had to have a authorized EDL account holder flash a factory ROM (in my case I had a China variant flashed with the Global ROM), after which I flashed xiaomi.eu latest stable ROM and then rooted it.

does google pay still work after root?

I still don't get, how you all bricked your phones? I was able to unlock (granted, after 7 days) successfully and update CN with EU-ROM... There's thread for it in this forum.

Seems it was an issue with setting the active slot in the installation script. Solution is described here and since then it looks as if no more bricks occur

Oh thanks, mate. I missed that one..

Now back to issue, does it work, rooting the device the way it is descibred on that page?

My pleasure
And yes, I rooted my device this way although I took the "fastboot flash boot_ab" approach instead of the separate flashing of a and b.

For updating the ROM I took the boot image before installing, patched it with Magisk, copied it back to the images installation folder and let the update script do its magic - thus I got instant-root for the update...

you need to hide Magisk Manager and also Magisk hide Google Play, Play services and Google Services Framework

I flashed it separately on the second attempt for 12.5.3. The first time I tried flashing the patched boot.img I was greeted with an error.

Hi! I have the latest xiaomi eu weekly installed (21.6.23) as well as unofficial twrp.
I would like to root the phone with magisk, but I don't understand a few things.

Magisk manager require patching the boot.img file from the zip firmware.
I can not just simply install magisk zip file in twrp to root mi11 ultra?

If not, I understand that I have to patch the boot.img- but do I have to do it every time I want to install update of the latest xiaomi.eu firmware?

The second question is about data.
Am I loosing the data by rooting the device by this method?

EDIT:
Ok, I managed. So those are the steps that I did:

I unpacked the boot.img from the xiaomi.eu firmware in my phone. Then I patched the file, and copy this file to the adb installation folder of my pc.
Later it's easy- usb debugging needs to be active in developer options, then connect your phone by the cable to your pc, accept usb debugging in your phone, start CMD in the adb folder in your pc and write the command:

fastboot flash boot_ab nameofthefilewhatmagiskgenerated.img

then
fastboot reboot

And done, root works. Data are untouched.

I did it easier, boot into twrp and flash magisk.zip done

Also I'm on official EEA firmware, with original stock recovery, so doesn't matter what rom you use. On xiaomi EU you don't even need adb because you already have twrp injected

 

[Afg Playa]

Is there anything to worry about when you update the phone while having root access?

Is the following order right?
1) update Rom over twrp and delete dalvik&cache
2)flash magisk.zip again
3)boot into system

Right ?
I have the latest EU Rom 12.5.7...

Just take this bat with decrypted Star twrp 3.5.1
