Taken in parts from information provided by Gluk41 on the russian 4pda forum, here is a simple guide how to install the latest Chinese Marshmallow (beta) on your Honor 4c / GPlay mini:
Be aware that:
all userdata will be erased, TWRP recovery, gapps and root have to be redone
system partition is almost full, pico opengapps barely fit (better to remove some apps)
this is a developer beta version for the chinese market (but has all languages included)
Downloads & Installation
Flash TWRP from here and backup whatever you need
Download the complete 6.4.16 ROM here and copy the dload folder to SD card
Flash the region information for UL00 umicom / cn from TWRP
Reboot and all 3 buttons pressed until the installation starts
--
Update: For your convenience I put all 3 files in the Mega Folder
--
The 3 button method uses its own built-in recovery and can be used with TWRP installed! All 3 buttons might have to be pressed for quite some time (20sec or even longer) until it starts. The ROM installs fine with the correct region information, otherwise it will fail around 5%.
TWRP & root
TWRP will be replaced by the standard recovery and needs to be re-flashed. For Root follow the MM Root thread by inshaalmirza. I had to flash the current SuperSU 2.7.1 beta twice until it worked.
The pre-installed app 'Phone Manager' seems to block SuperSU from working correctly. You might not see the root request if you start an app that requires root. A work-around is, to manually start SuperSU before or after starting the app that requires root. The, request eventually will pop up after a few seconds. Either uninstall the Phone Manager or configure it not to block SuperSU.
Google Apps
This ROM comes without Google Apps and a lot of chinese apps pre-installed. The system partition is almost full. Therefore it is recommended to remove some of the chinese apps before flashing Gapps. Use the openGapps arm64 6.0 pico version, others will not fit unless you remove a lot of the pre-installed apps. Flash the Gapps via TWRP, reboot and let the phone settle for a few minutes. After unlocking, you will get a black screen. Reboot in TWRP and wipe all user data. After the next reboot, setup wizard should start and everything should be fine.
Enjoy but be aware, it is just a developer beta version.
In China the latest update is 6.2.1,not 6.4.16. I wonder where is 6.4.16 from.Sorry for my bad English.

Hi Everyone,
I'm very new to MIUI. I have the Redmi 3S Prime.
So I rooted my phone (SU systemless) and I was wondering is it safe to update my phone normally through the updater or not?
I'm using TWRP. MIUI 8.0.3.0 (Global Stable).
Are there any special procedures I need to follow?
Also Will I lose root access after the update?
TIA.

Considering you have twrp installed, all you have to do is-
1. Download the update package/zip from the Updater app. It'll be stored in your internal memory under the folder "downloaded_rom" or something similar
2. When the download completes, reboot to twrp recovery and install the downloaded update zip
3. Most importantly, in twrp, tap "Advanced" and select "Disable dm-verify" so that you won't get stuck in a bootloop
You'd have to manually flash the update each time it is released after downloading it from the Updater app and after successful install, make sure you tap "Disable dm-verify".

Just tried this method with local upgrade. It works indeed! Thanks!
But TWRP got lost from local upgrade. So after restarting flashed twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-37.zip via Magisk Manager. But install script anounced that I am now unrooted.
Restarting phone confirmed that.
Anyway installed root again via TWRP.
What is safe way to install TWRP in between those 5 update OTA+keep root steps?

What is safe way to install TWRP in between those 5 update OTA+keep root steps? I once tried some kind of "OTA" update via twrp, but all was lost. (Could be a bit older twrp version without pattern unlock)
Why not just download the ZIP from the TWRP rather than use the OTA method?
The zips are available here.
I never uninstall magisk by the way. However that is part of the instructions. There are TWRP instructions, it's the third post, I believe.

Well I used this thread (How to Update/Return to Stock your OnePlus 6/6T(ROOT | NO ROOT | STOCK BASED |OTHERS)) from @mauronofrio as my guide. And in 2nd paragraph it states:
2. I have a stock rom with an unlocked bootloader and I'm rooted or I made some modifications:
You can use:
Local Update Method (Recommended)
Fastboot Update Method
TWRP Update Method
MSM Tool Restore Method
Local update method is recommended. So I was following this "general knowledge". Also I lost all user data (with nandroid backup) updating via twrp. Could be that my TWRP was outdated, but I would rather not to loose my user data again :/
Are you just OOS, rooted, TWRP?
I just flash the ZIP in twrp, flash twrp installer, reboot recovery, flash magisk. You can Repeat those steps if you want to update both slots. No reason to complicate it. I've never lost any data. The only time I format or lose data is going between OOS and AOSP roms. Then it is definitely important to backup data (always important to backup data anyways though).
Hi,
I have a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Global with :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP v3.3.1-0 (lastest)
- Magisk Manager v7.5.1 (lastest)
- Magisk v20.4 (lastest)
So I am rooted and want to keep it (with my data). ^^
Problem: I am still on MIUI v10.3.3.0 and can't install OTA because it makes me reboot on TWRP
I found some different posts like :
Link: https://www.the***********.com/install-ota-update-rooted-android-device-guide/
-> It doesn't work for me because I don't have the A/B partition (message from Magisk when I tried to flash it) and I don't have the "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)" option...
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/guide-easiest-to-root-twrp-t4000209
-> I don't know if I have to do it, and when? (if needed, I have the boot.img of my current Global v10.3.3.0)
It seem I have to restore my stock recovery?
-> I see how to do it from TWRP, but I don't have the recovery.img file
How can I install OTA without lose my root and my data?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards.

You can keep TWRP and Magisk module, you will only need to patch the boot image and install it from TWRP to regain root after the OTA
- Download full Recovery/zip package 2.4 GB for your MI/IN/EU/RU you currently have with MIUI 10
- Flash that zip from TWRP (Install, zip)
- Reboot to TWRP, not to Android, otherwise you will loose TWRP
- Backup Boot in TWRP
- Reboot to Android. You shouldn't have lost your apps and settings. Magisk Manager will be there but no root
- From Magisk Manager take Install, keep Preserve AVB and Preserve Encryption (first two) but UNCHECK Recovery mode
- Choose to Patch image and navigate to the Boot backup you just made in TWRP, boot.emmc.win, 128 MB
- Reboot to TWRP, take Install, Image (not zip) and navigate to magisk_patched.img in Download
- Upon installing keep in TWRP and Wipe Dalwik and Cache, ONlY
-Reboot to Android - you will have root, your previous modules, rooted apps, all
PS: Doing OTA from System Update requires stock Recovery - that's why it reboots for you to TWRP and fails.
To be able to do OTA that way, you would need to first flash back your stock Recovery.
Then OTA update will fail and you wouldl have to force Full OTA.
At the end, you would also loose root - hence the above procedure is simpler, you even don't need PC, you will keep TWRP and you will only need to patch and install the patched boot image to regain root
Hi and thank you @zgfg,
So if I correctly understand, to be able to make OTA without losing my data and restore root, I have to :
1. Install stock ROM
-> When I did it on previous phone, I always lose everything, so are you sure?
2. Restart in TWRP (to not lose it)
3. Backup boot via TWRP
4. Go in Magisk Manager, and check "keep Preserve AVB" and "Preserve Encryption", but uncheck "Recovery mode"
5. Click on "Install" and choose "Patch image", then selected the boot image previous made with TWRP
6. Reboot in TWRP to install (image, not zip) this file created in the 5.
7. Wipe Dalvik and Cache
8. Enjoy
I found the following link on mi.com to allow me to download the Global v10.3.3.0 (zip and tar.gz) :
Link: https://c.mi.com/thread-2459743-1-0.html
Is it the good one?
Can I simply extract the boot.img of the file downloaded in the 1. and go directly to the 4. ?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards.

In the first post you said that you already have v10.3.3.0 and that you want to update
Hence why would you now download v10.3.3.0 - you should download v11 (supposidely), that the same newer version that OTA offers you
Yes, you can extract boot.img from that newer MIUI (v11) that you will download and flash but that requires PC - in my instructions you simply use TWRP and make backup of the boot image upon you do update
By extracting boot.img from v11 you will not save any step, you still must flash its zip (not tgz) from TWRP and you must nevertheless reboot to TWRP first
---
By flashing OTA zip (full, 2.4 GB) from TWRP, you should not loose your data and apps. I did it with Mi 9T (not PRO - you are not on the PRO forum) but things must work the same way for PRO for Global or EU (you must update to the same Global, EU, Indian, Russian as you already have, just fownload the same newer version that OTA offers you)
Hi back,
Yes, I am in Global (EU) v10.3.3.0 and I should want to use OTA (first I have, it is to go on v10.3.4.0, and I guess, I will have more after until v11).
So I can use directly v11 one?
Thank you in advance,
Best regards.

Better follow what OTA gives you. Find and download Recovery/zip for that Global v10.3.4.0 and install as suggested.
Later similarly follow the version numbers the same way as they come by OTA
I want to root my phone due to its huge benefits but also at the same time I want to keep my OTAs
Is it possible even if I will install them manually (but the data remains with no wipe) ?
And if so, how can I do this and whats the best way?
Thanks in advance and sorry if the language was bad <3

Yes it's possible with a little workaround, to temporarily switch to stock Recovery (from TWRP, if you had it installed) and to stock Boot (from the one patched by Magisk) during the OTA upgrade - OTA will fail if it finds not the stock images of Recovery and Boot
After the upgrade you just flash the new Boot patched by Magisk (and flash TWRP if you will)
Or you flash TWRP and flash Magisk from TWRP
Below is a post how I recently upgraded from QFJEUXM 12.0.2 to 12.0.3. Btw, I downloaded zip and initiated OTA manually because I didn't want to wait more days to be pushed for OTA, but that's just a small detail not important for the way how to do it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83791185&postcount=93
Ofc, all my data, apps, settings, and Magisk modules were preserved
Generally, in the Redmi K20/Mi 9T Guides section on XDA you can find (at least two) threads about how-to root, i.e. install Magisk
Those threads describe the way to install Magisk by installing Magisk Manager, patching the Boot image, then flashing it from Fastboot (I prefer that way).
In that case TWRP is not needed (but it can be also installled)
Threads and guides are maybe old (since MIUI 11) but it doesn't matter, it's always the same method (essentially the same as in my post I gave you the link above, its part about returning back to Magisk after the OTA upgrade)
If you follow those guides you must pay attention that you patch the boot.img for exactly that (new) stock MIUI you do have and that you now use new Magisk (not some old versions as in the guides)
Alternatively, you flash TWRP by Fastboot, then flash Magisk zip from TWRP and then you install Magisk Manager
All those methods are described in other threads and posts.
Anyway, you must first unlock the Bootloader, again there is thread with a guide, or just google for how to unlock Bootloader on Xiaomi
Btw, some custom TWRP versions and Orange Fox do have Advanced options for upgrading MIUI and to keep Magisk, but when I did it that way for upgrading from QFJEUXM 11.0.5 to 12.0.2, it made me Factory reset and I lost all my files on Internal memory (it was generally an issue for the others who upgraded from MIUI 11 to MIUI 12 by flashing OTA through custom recovery)
Hence now for upgrading to 12.0.3 I didn't want to risk and did it as above

Could u tell me what is the best method of u mentioned to keep my files and everything with no delete and also makes me able to upgrade Official ROM with no deletes
After this i'll start digging to learn but I want to know what should I dig for
Thanks bro

2- Install TWRP (the version u provided)
3- Install Magisk (last link u provided) right?
Is there any step of those that is risky or unsafe that may brick the phone ?
PS: On mi unlock application it says all phone data will be erased !
what should I do ?
By unlocking Xiaomi phone you won't lose anything but previous user data stored in phone, unlike ASUS phone losts OTA permanentry.
So make a backup, also I recommend you first picking your secondaly phone, not your daily using one.

As described, TWRP is optional, not needed for Magisk/root but it would be useful to have, so yes, install TWRP
Instructions for unlocking Bootloader say to do Backup. Copy photos and files from Internal memory to PC.
Export contacts to CVS file and also copy to PC.
Backup to Google your Google accounts, contacts, WhatsApp, etc.
Use Settings, Additional settings, Backup, and cooy to PC.
You can also use Settings, MIUI account to backup things
Installations of Magisk and TWRP will not erase data. Generally, they are not risky unless you make really stupid mistake like flashing TWRP img file to System partition instead of to Recovery partition and so - that's why you have instructions how to use Fastboot command to flash TWRP
It's more risky if you go to use e.g. MiFlash (you don't need for TWRP and Magisk), then people can screw up things and need authorized EDL support
