SAR = System As Root (root directory will replace with /system)
Non-SAR: Normal (Have root and /system separately), all Pie rom are non-SAR.
All Q roms are SAR. But some can use non-SAR recovery and kernel because they have dm-verity false. (Some dev said that it is non-SAR but remember all Q roms are SAR, will brick with all Mods or Magisk Modules that modify /system)

Dear Senior Members.
I bought ZTE Axon 7 mini B2017G due to its best sound spec as Dolby Atmos & 32Bit DAC but i am dis-pointed to know that EU models having volume limitation by EU law. Now i found the solution by search to boost its volume by amendment in mixer statement. But the issue is that i am updated on nougat 7.1.1 and there is no way to root nougat operating system. So please guide me. I am quite anxiously to check its sound quality as mentioned its spec.
Please suggest.......
Please the the development sub forum and see if you have a b12 or b14 variant. Root methods are now available for some variants of our devices. Other users from Europe have reported success with root
Nougat 7.1.1 b14

I have tried various root method SRS, Iroot and KingRoot but there is no available root for this build...........
waiting for response.
Use the tuliptool method as described in the development forum. I am on b14 rooted with custom ROM using that method

Can I ask which ROM you are using? Is it coming with root feature or you had to flash the supersu in?
I'm using AOKP ROM that tdm has ported over. It comes with its own root management built in. No SU required.

Please help its important
Please Help
It depends on the specific model -- there are many custom builds for various prepaid and postpaid carriers. If you search the forums you may find the information you are looking for.
For example, after reviewing the forum topics, it appears my J7 Sky Pro 727vl from Tracfone does not so far have a root available.
Hi dear
I own a device J7 2017 (j730f) I suggest you use the official ROM Oreo with the root (Magisk)
I use it and it works perfectly, of course. After disabling some non-important applications and for RAM and battery the same efficiency as the previous Android 7.0
There are several explanations on this site for the root

I am planning to buy K20
need to know just one thing
does k20 also uses MODIFIED vendor image like Poco ? (for treble)
or it uses original vendor image ?
reason ?
poco f1 is on modified vendor image and
1. gives crashes and 1tb data use warning errors if usb tethering is done on 3g
2. volume boost mixer path file alteration doesnt work
can any user confirm "mixer_path.xml" file existance in k20 pro under /system/vendor/etc or system/vendor ?
as poco is missing this file , if this file exists in your k20 then i will buy
If you look for any available Android Q based custom ROM for this phone they all ask to flash it on top of the original/stock MIUI vendor and not wipe it. Don't know if this answers your question.
Again, these are not GSI ROMs, they're just semi traditional ROMs without a built in/custom vendor set.
I'm sure running a GSI is much easier and better than on the Poco F1 because the K20 came with Android 9 which vastly improved treble support over Android 8 (F1s original OS I believe).

I don't have a Mi 9T. I'm looking at buying one though and the custom ROM support is super important for me.

THIS meants its using MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE like poco
https://www.xda-developers.com/poco-f1-vendor-android-pie-project-treble-gsi/
now the only way to BOOST volume is via custom kernels and using franko app and/or smart kernel manager (github)
in my old redmi note 5 pro, i always made RX4 DITIGAL and RX5 DIGITAL volumes to 120 from 84 and i could hear redmi note5 pro from another room (playing music on youtube)
thank you for the confirming brother <3

well it has three variants
K20 6gb/128
k20 pro 8gb/256
and k20 pro premium 12gb ram / 512gb on sd855+ , this one is 600+ euros
and yes k20 has custom roms
I've found the Mi 9T Pro, 6GB 64 and 128, for less than 450 Euros in the most expensive store nearby and the 9T with 6GB and 64 for 240 on eglobalcentral.eu
I'm mostly concerned about the openess of Xiaomi towards releasing all of their code to help ROM developers. I've seen nothing but good stuff.

Doesn't make sense at all to pay 200 euros more for pro variant in my opinion
Well in the more expensive store the Mi 9T is in the mid 300 Euros so it's around 100 Euro difference. Same as in the cheaper store, the Pro is in the mid 300 Euro range.
I know the community is much bigger with the Pro and the CPU is a beast and if I could I would buy it but the 9T packs a big punch. If my 2017 Galaxy A3 with a hack job Treble patch runs like a beast and well then the 9T will be much better.

this shows that MI9T/K20/K20pro/K20proPREMIUM is using MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE for treble support! this also means that later this will create problems for LineAgeOS development as for POCO they already protested and LineAgeOS stopped development on 7Aug2019 (pie) and never released Android10 either, but yes unofficial versions are on XDA
mainly mixer_path.xml, if you increase RX5 Digital volume to 110, and HPHL/HPHR left/right channel number from 8 to 20, *(just above the Rx1 volume line,, and REBOOT
you will have AMAZING speaker, headphone, bluetooth headfone sound!
with Modified vendor image when this main file is MISSING, and all other mixer_path(suffix).xml are inplace! NONE of them had affect on volume (I TRIED manipulated numbers in my poco f1 for ALL the files having RX5 Digital volume, lines...) it doesnt work!
and yes with CUSTOM kernel you can boost volume but it will ONLY AFFECT earphone! speaker sounds very low on poco
so i was wandering! before i upgrade, who can help ..
I thank you from my heart for helping me!
vendor images needed to be flashed manually when you decide to step in to custom rom from MIUI11 to PixelExperience or HAVOC, and DFE (disable force encryption_) must be flashed in twrp otherwise you will have to fomat you internal storage to gain acces under NEWLY FLASHED vendor.img file (security keys change).... DFE flashing is unsafe so just take backup always and perform FULL FORMATING and let the new keys get reinstated for encryption purposes....
later magisk20.1 can be flashed to gain root access..
i think i will still buy k20proPremiuim version as i am getting on offer and it has 12gbRam ...
is overall speaker sound GOOD ? can u hear video on youtube from next room?

thank you for the file, NG SP , what should I do first? flash decrypt or install the twrp you sent? then after the two i can then install magisk? the reason why i will root zenfone max pro m1 is because the minimum brightness is too bright ill try to see if XPOSED will fix the issue im on ios 9. also want to use the one handed mode on the device. thank you.
