Best way to root device?

Hi guys i own an Mi A1 and i want to know what is the best simple way to root my phone?!
I'm actually rooting the device to install this port : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/8-0-dolby-atmos-axon-7-oreo-port-t3739009
So can anyone please guide me through the installation as i'ma complete NOOB on rooting.
Right now i have that 8.1 leaked beta oreo build.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

I personally used the https://www.google.gr/amp/s/forum.x...iaomi-mi-a1-tool-drivers-unlock-t3742857/amp/
To unlock bootloader and to root with magisk
I don't know if it works with 8.1 beta though I had 8.0 latest when I used it
In fact the phone doesn't need rooting the only reason I did it is to install one magisk module for aptx support lol.

Patched boot.img to root 10.5.10 without TWRP?

I can't for the life of me find a patched boot.img for OxygenOS 10.5.10. The latest one I can find is for 10.5.6. I've seen some posts saying you can find the one for 10.5.10 by searching the forum, but trust me, I've searched the forum for almost an hour now with no luck.
Could someone please help me out? I would like to root my Oneplus 8 Pro (US variant) which is currently running OxygenOS 10.5.10 without having to install TWRP. Its my understanding that this requires a patched boot.img which is version specific.
I'd really appreciate it!! Thanks!

If you dont wanna patch it yourself you can just boot twrp (not install it) and flash magisk from there..

Patch it yourself ..

Here's my patched image but it's recommended to patch your own for maximum compatibility!

Or you could just read.........there is a million topics

Hello.
You can use paylod dumber to exclude the boot.img
From the OTA OXYGEN 10.5.10.
And then flash it onmagisk to get magisk_patched
It's very easy

hi, sadly the payload unzip doesn't work on my computer. I am urgently looking for the boot.img for 10.5.10.IN21BA. Can anyone help me? i can't find it on the net.

I don't normally want to give out personal information. But if you really need it, I might be able to do it on my computer and send it to you.

Can you just downgrade OOS to Android 10 and then flash TWRP or is it impossible?

Hi, I recently bought an used OnePlus 8 Pro and it was already updated to Android 11. After repairing it, I discovered that it's not possible to run TWRP on this firmware version.
Couldn't I just go ahead and downgrade the OS in order to run TWRP on it or is it basically impossible like on the latest Samsung Galaxy S-series devices?
Would be glad if someone could answer me that question. I kinda tried to boot into twrp because I was too quick to read the thread but it just caused my device to run into Qualcomm Emegency Mode.

What do you need twrp for? If it's just to root and almost everything else... It can be done via other means.

Hmmmm the way I've seen a lot of custom roms... They're installed/flashed partition by partition in bootloader via fastboot.....I guess if you have to use twrp to flash the entire rom you do need to downgrade to os 10.

Thank you for your response. i think i just did not catch up the latest progress. Would you please help me find the instruction about how to flash rom in the new way you mentioned ? thank you so much.
And i still have the same question , is it necessary for us to downgrade to android 10 and then start flashing rom.

Look at the roms in the subforum here:
OnePlus 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other
Improve your OnePlus 8 Pro 's battery life, performance, and look by rooting it and installing a custom ROM, kernel, and more.

I just looked at some popular ones like Pixel experience and Lineage and they're both flashed in this way. Look at the opening post where the instructions are... Seems like Pixel Experience there's a batch file that flashes the partitions but it's essentially done this way without twrp.

thank you for your reply, I already tried to flash pixel experience, i followed the install guide but failed to flash its recovery file.

Because it requires installing rom from recovery, so I get stuck here.
The problem is the device enters crash dump mode when switched to recovery mode. I guess the reason is that my p8pro is in andriod 11 before i flash recovery. now the device can enter android 11 normally but the recovery don't function. So I am here to ask is it necessary for me to downgrade to android 10 to solve the problem.

Thank you for your reply, it help me a lot. i have already flash my device lineage os . Regarding the problem i mentioned in my last reply, it seems the install guide is for android 10. As for android 11 , i think it needs a payload dumper to extract all files and flash them one by one.

I think the answer depends why do you need twrp. If you just want to flash a rom like me, you can find a custom rom supporting android 11,for example lineage os and you can flash all files it requires without twrp.
If you want to flash a android 10 rom or you just want to flash twrp , i don't know how, maybe you should downgrade.

Ordered OP8Pro, need helpful advice/guidelines

Hello XDA.
Ive spent a few hours now reading OP8P forums, and got some rough idea of what I'm getting my self into.
I bought a OP8P, its coming to me within next 10 days. I bought it brand new from T-Mobile in Croatia (Europe).
This is my first time owning a Oneplus, my current phone is Galaxy S7, before that i had an S5... On these two i got some experience with custom roms, rooting, flashing, twrp.... But i didnt do anything to my phone in the last 2 years, its been stagnant... and the knowledge i gained... well, if you don't use it, you lose it..
It always seemed that oneplus had great support in XDA community, but from all these threads I read in past few hours, i gathered some confusing conclusions.
What i expected when i made the purchase is that I would be able to have a stock up-to-date OxygenOS, with root (magisk), twrp, xposed, banking apps working, youtube vanced, photochrome camera...
But..... seems like i would have to go through a lot of trouble achieveing all of these things, deciding between OOS 10 vs 11, if they're even achievable with some of the knowledge i kept from my samsung days...
So here are a few questions i would like answers for...
1. When i get the phone and start it for the first time, am I going to be running OOS 10 until i manually upgrade?
2. Do you suggest I stay on OOS10 or upgrade to OOS11?
3. If i upgrade to OOS11, can I have any of the stuff i mentioned that i expected?
4. I saw some user saying if I decide to root, i should not be using modified/patched boot.img... Why is that? (btw i don't recall ever doing this back in day, would love some info about it...)
5. Is TWRP possible, whats the new META?
4. Is there anything else i should know before doing anything, also I wouldn't mind if you would explain all this to me like im five years old
Thanks in advance!

I'm a op8pro owner, and I have Magisk (22.0), and root without twrp (no recovery yet suported for android 11 on this device). You have to patch boot.img with Magisk. Not a big head ache.
Photocrom camera not working on 11 as before on android 10, and I tried two existing methods (it works, but no "X-ray" feature).
Since android 11 is in its stable release, new devices should come with it, but not sure.
All apps mentioned, Root and non Root are working just fine,

Thanks for replying.
Could you possibly link the guide which I should follow, and save me from something outdated, since I might not be rooting my OOS11 from inactive slot on OOS10
Thanks again!

How to Install Magisk on Android 12?

Hello everyone. Sorry if this questions have been asked before. I have installed the latest build of NusantaraProject's Android 12 on my Redmi 3S (land). However the rom doesn't include any root access. I've been searching the webs on how to install Magisk but all I found were old instructions and not sure if it works with Android 12. Anyone knows how?
Thank you in advance
