How To Guide Rooting the Mi 11 with the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM

[Knightrid3r]

Hello guys,

i'm coming from the Oneplus Nord and its rooted with Magisk.
How it does work with Xiaomi MI11? Can i use the original ROM (which is delivered) and flash magisk in the recovery mode and my phone is rooted?
Next question, can i OTA Update -> Magisk flash into other boot_a/b and reboot? and its still rooted?

lul so, lets see how to do this

I found the solution
1. Hide Magisk
2. boot.img from Xiaomi.eu Rom patched with Magisk afterwards
3. flashing the boot_xxxxx.img again with fastboot
4. After the reboot everything goes as it should

Thanks a lot, this tip worked for me

On Mi 11 Lite 4G with EU ROM 12.0.8, I had to use:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-23000_XXXXX.img

good

well if your phone is already unlocked, it will stays unlocked forever. unless you RE Lock the Bootloader

No, the Unlock status granted from Xiaomi is forever, not the fact is unlocked. When i switch from a Xiaomi.eu or MiuiMix to a stock bootloader is locked after a fresh stock rom fastboot install.

I must unlock again, but effectively i will never waiting again for 168 hours

After all this time, i answer for us by myself lol, it work fine like OnePlus method (keep Root after a local update/On the Fly /OTA), i have succesfull update EEA 12.5.2 Rooted/Unlocked to EEA 12.5.3 :

1/ Download the Local Update : here
Be sure to update from the same branch, EEA/EEE to EEA/EEE, Global to Global, CN to CN, if update is not the same branch upgrade will be not granted.

2/ Put the Local update *.zip in a folder on the root storage folder, i create "downloaded_rom" folder

3/ Now, Settings > About Phone > Open 12 Logo MIUI Version / Updater > Click 3/5 time on the MIUI 12 logo, you will see message "Additional update features are on" > click three ticks on the right corner > you have now access to a local upgrade option "Choose update package" > choose the Rom *.zip update path (so for my "downloaded_rom" and click update. If Archive is good (CRC) and same branch, MIUI will asked if you want upgrade, click YES

4/ After some minutes installing, come the finalizing state and just after MIUI purpose reboot system, DON'T REBOOT, WE WILL UPDATE BOOT.IMG ROOTED NOW

5/ Open Magisk > Install > Install to inactive Slot (After OTA) > Let's Go (Boot.img will be patched) > Success

6/ You can reboot, after unlock PIN / etc, waiting 30 secondes for upgrade / cache finish (when data carrier is back), go in Magisk, enjoy ! You have keep root and all your access/Modules

I always use "fastboot boot <magisk_boot.img>" and then go to Magisk Manager and use direct install. This is better in my opinion since you won't end up in a bootloop if the fastboot flash command doesn't work with the image. You can just restart (hold down power+volume buttons) and it will boot regularly.

Hey, ive been trying to install Magisk with xiaomi.eu 12.5.3.0 and every time right after installation i get google update security error which leads to other related errors.
Dont you get the same error?
And by the way, what do you use Magisk for? I cant really find many reasons to install it, maybe i dont know something, please share you experience!
Thank you!

I'm not on xiaomi.eu rom but stable EEA Xiaomi 12.5.3. For error, i never had issue even on Xiaomi.eu with Magisk:
1/ Be sure to use the lastest Canary Magisk 23+
2/ You must install the Safetynet fix from kdrag0n here
3/ You must clear Google Play cache / files for retrived a certified device
4/ Disable bull**** like Google Play Protect & MIUI Optimisation & Antivirus

For root is simple, it's not a mandatory to root an android device today for a lot of lambda people because you can do the more useful things rootless :
- Block Ads (Blokada)
- Youtube Ads Free (Vanced)
- Install APK (Native)
- Debloat everything (ADB AppControl)
...

But i use root for other deep thing like :
- Use Font Manager (module in magisk store)
- Use SafetyNet Fix (Genuine pass for device and fake Locked Bootloader)

And above all use Application only working with Root :
- Disable Application
- Franco Kernel (for tweak / Underclock by using Kernel settings)
- Simple Reboot (for choose directly reboot on Bootloader/Recovey/SystemUI/Safemode or just restart/shutdown device with a single click without use physical boutons)
- Swift Backup (for manage Save/Restore entirely & truely Apps, Call, Messages), it's the TitaniumBackup successor.
- Termux (an android terminal)
- TWRP (the famous recovery for easily access/install/update ROM)

how do you root xiaomi.eu using twrp?..is it as simple as flashing the zip on twrp?..

No, Xiaomi.eu rom have not Root included, if you want Xiaomi + Root natively, you must take MiuiMix rom. You must extract boot.img from archive, patch boot.img with lastest Magisk Canary 23.1, after that go on fastboot mode, and adb mode put (xxxxxx is your boot name img) :
fastboot boot xxxxxx.img

You will enter in a safe mode with Magisk enable, if boot work, just launch Magisk and "intall directly" for flash the actual boot znd keep Root.

Thanks alot for your detailed response!

It is enough to flash magisk in TWRP. It is not needed to extract boot.img. Just flash magisk in TWRP, it is all. I am using on last xiaomi.eu weakly ROM.

even if the twrp cant decrypt the storage the flashing of magisk works just fine?..the method for extracting boot.img is for those who dont have twrp am i right?..

Hey man, Would you happen to know how to stop bank apps from detecting root on the rom? I installed it before but ended un unrooting and switching back to stock firmware due to my bank app not working.

have you tried using magiskhide on the apps?..some banking apps detect the twrp folder in the storage..you can try deleting the folder see if the banking app works..
