I used this guide on pie: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-enable-camera2-api-eis-stock-t3883017
after using this guide you should be able to use Gcam with your bootloader locked
I recommend to backup your data as unlocking and locking the bootloader can trigger a wipe, which can be bypassed if you do it according to the guide, but backup just in case.

TWRP & xiaomi.eu support?

When can we expect to see TWRP and xiaomi.eu support for the Pro?
Does anyone know if Xiaomi's bootloader unlocking tool supports the Pro?
I didn't see any mention of it on the MIUI forum, and I'd much prefer to linger here than there.
I think you will not get good support, because for that price you can get a MI5, with Snapdragon 820. The other thing is xiaomi need a snapdragon version for India, like by the redmi note 3.

Its not hard, you just need to go to "en . miui .com /unlock" and follow instructions.
When your phone is unlocked you can install TWRP with fastboot and then install custom ROMs or root.

Will i receive updates after root

Hey...
After unlocking bootloder and rooting MI A1 will i receive OTA updates in future??
I have the same question can anyone clarify this
You should but it won't install because of having a custom recovery but you could flashfire to flash any OTA updates you get
Sent from my Mi A1 using Tapatalk
Yes you will as long you don't modified or install custom recovery or custom rom
Yes you will, as all above said. But DON'T INSTALL THEM, it will make you phone enter into a bootloop since root modify the boot partition. If you want to keep yor phone updated and rooted you shouldn't use OTA updates, it's hard to say that it will install correctly.
Hello, I think it may be good thread to ask my question. Please forgive me but I am a super newbe.
I have Mi A1. I have unlocked bootloader and phone is rooted. My goal was to be able to edit buildprop to add lines to activate google camera with EIS stabilization and HDR+ - and in fact I made this.
I have september security update - it was before root.
Please explain me what does it mean that bootloader is unlocked - is my phone unsecured?
So how to install next updates without loosing camera options? I understood that if I have OTA updates I will loose root, so I also loose camera option. Am I right?
I want to have camera options and safe phone.
I would be really grateful if someone could help me understand this things. :fingers-crossed:

[Nokia 6 TA-1021, Android 9] Is this phone rootable?

Hi. I wanted to get root in my ohone, but any tutorial I followed is useful. I can't use SuperSu and TWRP methods because I can't unlock the bootloader and the app Nokia gives in the official page for unlocking is completely useless. Better not even talking about the one click root apps because I am not even going to pretend they exist.
So I don't know what to do. Some people says this model is completely impossible to root, while others recommend I use Magisk (I don't know how) or specific commands in the Minimal ADB blackboard, do I don't know what I should really do.
So if there exist a way I can root this model of phone which again is Nokia 6 TA-1021 with Android 9, I would like to know the options and how to execute them. Thanks!!

Since pie update, twrp is not booting in some devices of nokia 6 (TA-1021)
and if u want to root your phone
It's must to unlock your device bootloader first .
After that you can flash twrp and magisk ..
But keep in mind ..
Magisk 17.1 is working on Android pie or else canary build( i haven't tested it yet)
And if you want to unlock bootloader of your phone then u have to buy unlock key .
Or else you can try the procedure as mentioned before by @Calyxhikari.
Follow that procedures carefully.. hope it will work for u

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I concluded the issue is being unabled to unlock the bootloader but I am a bit lost.
How to do it? And also, you menctioned I have to buy a key... There is absolutely no other way of doing it? Am I forced to spend more money or there exist a free way?
I never had to unlock it before and I don't know the process.

It's not expensive , you can buy it from techmesto.com
Or contact to calyxhikari i bought it in just 250rs (INR) And believe that was very simple process to unlock bootloader some commands are necessary to unlock it and that's the only way to unlock it . Once you buy it, then you can lock and unlock it anytime .

Yes it could be, but make sure to backup your data then you can carry on..it will simply downgrade your bootloader and recovery of your phone and then your phone is able to get updates because recovery is downgraded .. and download firmware from there use patched ost tool and flash it ..

Emui 9.1 root?

Hello boys and girls,
I was wondering if someone already has a method to root a VKY-L09 (P10 Plus) emui 9.1.
Regards
Root is cancer
I need a way to root the device too.
The model is VKY-L09 and I have updated to Android 9, EMUI 9.1.0, Build 9.1.0.252(C02E8R1P9).
Thanks a lot for any help.
Hi,
Was your device bootloader unlocked with TWRP before your updated the device to Android 9?
As you are aware the bootloader unlock is now not available from Huawei in order to root the device.
Number of sites promise to root the device and most if not all are fraud.

Bootloader unlocked. Got TWRP on it, but i cant install android 9.1 manually, don't find any working scripts like for example this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286
wich I used to update manually and to 9.0. But nothing to 9.1 yet. Also can't find any roots for 9.1 :/

Correct me if I am wrong.
Is your device bootloader unlocked, TWRP and rooted on Android Build 9.0 (Pie).
At this moment I suggest you remain on Build 9.0.x.x and not bother updating to Build 9.1.x.x.
Unless you have some urgent need to update to Build 9.1. ?
And if you update to Build 9.1 - in any event wait for months as custon developers have given up on Huawei devices due to their inability to unlock the Bootloader.
I have not the BL unlocked. Can I go back with downgrade and unlock it?
Let me know. Thank you.
