Hello brother! I am not able to root mi max 32 gb. After flashing twrp i press volume + off button then i get a teamwin screen and after that i get a screen asking password to decrypt my internal memory. And i swipe for cancel after that i cant see my supersu file in any directories which i put in internal memory. Must be its encrypted thats why i cant see any contents in directlries. Please help me it will be very kind

Thank you

I really, really don't want to hard brick so I hope you don't mind me asking this: it is OK to flash CM/RR using TWRP if I have a locked bootloader?

I've applied for unlock permission, got it, but I always get stuck at the 50% stage. I used MiFlash to flash TWRP, then flashed Xiaomi EU ROM with no problems.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] seking:
From your question I understand that you want to flash Supersu. Put the flashable supersu in external Sd card. Before flashing make sure that you mount system. Yesterday I also had the same experience. I put the supersu on external SD Card

I hope this helps you.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] seking:
The thread heading itself says you can.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] oatcooky:
That's true but all the threads on CM and RR all say an unlocked bootloader is required. So has anyone successfully flashed a non-MIUI ROM with a locked bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] seking:
See this. Someone with locked bootloader has successfully flashed.

Oh oh oh i think i bricked my Mi Max 32Gb

I wanted to get it back to stock for sending it back for warranty and i tried the following:

- Started MiFlash Beta (which worked perfectly to install twrp a couple of weeks ago).

- Flashed the hydrogen_global_images_V8.0.2.0.MBCMIDG_20150805.0000.29_6.0._global_faa8bcca0e Fastboot ROM

And after 94 seconds there was an error -translated - "For this command is not enough memory available.(0x800700008: Max buffer sector is 256)". After trying again i only get "critical error (0x8000ffff: Receiving hello packet). Also flashing twrp again does not work. When i turn on the phone i only see a symbol with a mi phone with a cable plugged in ...

What can i do now :(

Please help!

EDIT: Managed to reboot the phone and to flash TWRP again with MiFlash :)

Now i installed MIUI 7 and it seems to boot.

But the radio seems to be broken.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] oatcooky:
I gathered up the courage to do the same and it works, no problems so far. I flashed TWRP using doomslayer's method and then flashed RR using TWRP.

Now I was using Nougat on my old Redmi Note 3 and that was great, smooth with long battery life. Here's hoping Nougat arrives soon for Hydrogen and Helium :)

thanks OP for the guide! It worked well on my 128GB Max. However, I still cant' get root. when I flash the latest SuperSU zip from HERE, my phone doesn't boot. So when I wipe system and reflash ROM, it boots just fine. but everytime I flash SuperSU, it doesn't boot. Any pointers?

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

I am the second day without sleep, and i think its time to give up...

i try your solution in edl mode, (my only hope to make my phone to working) but...no. This is (i think) because i have not usb debugging on, neither administrator rights in my phone. Why? Because That is my problem:

my phone has keep the old (and deleted) Μi account and even with new flashed rom, after the first startup, ignore my first and basic Mi account and still ask me the pass from the deleted account!

After this, i cannot anything with my phone under windows. But because that, i cannot also to give administrator rights , usb debugging e.t.c, because i have not acces to my phone! Trying your twrp version (working also with locked bootloader) i had a hope. Any way, after a success flashing, phone cannot boot in twrp recovery mode (as except, cause usb debugging, locked bootloader e.t.c.). I bought my phone just 4 days before, but i can see only what you see in photos. Not any other thing...Its something like alive-dead device, in coma! I dont know how you can help me with this crazy situation, but maybe your knowledge and experience help in my crazy loop.

thank you in advance

i just got my mi max 32gb hydrogen yesterday, and thanks to DOOMSLAYERS guide i was able to install twrp and super su. I still needed a ton of research and reading coz the instructions was not that detailed and as a newbie like me I run to errors while trying to have this done, So, i decided to share this more DETAILED steps just for others having difficulty doing this,let me share what i did, i hope this helps and remove all your frustrations not getting the result. :p

First, reboot your pc by tapping F8 upon start of boot. and select to start with the choice of ignoring DIGITAL SIGNATURE.

1. download MI flash tool and drivers on links provided by OP , download ADB and FASTBOOT driver,and SUPER SU

even if i had this installed my mi max was still not recognized,even if it was showing in the MI FLASHER, when i flash it prompts me an error of something like NO FILE FOUND to flash,

heres the solution, i installed QDLoader HS-USB Driver, google it and install.

2. Run MI flash tool as administrator

3. Turn off your MI MAX phone.

4. Press the Volume– key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode. (And see that bunnY)

5. Now connect your phone to the PC with USB cable

6. hit refresh on the MI flasher tool to detect your unit

7. click for browse button and look for the TWRP file you have downloaded, - unpack it from zip(install TWRP first and backup as soon as youve got it)

8. Click the Flash button to start the flashing and wait till it finished.

Now u have TWRP installed! congratulations!!!

At this stage, when i reboot my phone, it was stuck at the MI logo, You need to install the SUPER SU file. But how? i cannot mount the internal storage,even if i select mount , and mount the system etc. , therefore i cannot flash the SUPER SU file.

here's the solution.

9. copy that SUPER SU file to your micro SD external storage and insert the sd to your phone

Boot at TWRP by press and holding volume up plus power button,wait for it to vibrate and release the butons.

10. In TWRP select SWIPE and select the two check box then swipe the slider, so u will be able to mount

11. hit mount - choose sd card

12. now install the SUPER SU , navigate to your sd card and find the file of the SUPER SU and flash it. done! When you boot now , you will no longer be stuck at the MI logo. ;p COngratulations! Now, Make a backup of your phone.

13. Reboot and enjoy TWRP and Root access of your phone.

Now im using the stock MIUI 8 and have TWRP and ROOT. that's all i need.

Don't be shy to give me reputation if this helps. Thanks!!!

Now then i get as far as stage 8. but i can't boot into recovery to install supersuer zip file. I'm pressing key up and power button but no luck i just get screen where you see image of phone connecting usb. What am i doing wrong?

Thank you very much for your detailed help. The support team of xiaomi informed as follow:

"I understand your concern and would like to inform you as we have tried to help you with possible troubleshooting

but your issue not resolved so would request you to coordinate with the respective seller. As we are not selling Xiaomi phones in the US region, we would not be able to guide you for the same."

So, i returned back to the xiaomi support the device, to reset it (:

HOWEVER, your assistance remains very useful for future use and for similar problems. Thank you again!

Thanks for the guide. I am running the EU version 8.1.1 now...

Some strange behavior...

So I cannot access TWRP in first boot after flash TWRP.

After that I boot into MIUI then reboot with volume+ again, it bring me to screen with a Mi Max with cable.

All I want is to install twrp and root with stock global miui 32gb hydrogen. Has anyone found a solution yet or do I have to request unlock bootloader? Thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] oatcooky:
I got bricked when I tried to flash the latest Xiaomi EU ROM after doing a full nandroid backup with TWRP. Maybe something failed when flashing firmware files; upon rebooting, the Mi logo flashed and went to a black screen. I have a locked bootloader so I couldn't reflash in fastboot.

I ran MiFlash on the PC, hooked up the phone, pressed Power/Vol+/Vol- together until the phone vibrated and I got MiFlash to see the phone. In Windows Device Manager, the phone will show up as a Qualcomm 9008 QDLoader device if it's in EDL mode. If you see a 900E USB mode then the phone is in the wrong mode, just hold down Power/Vol+/Vol- with the phone connected to the PC until you get the right mode.

I flashed the latest MIUI fastboot, flashed TWRP, then restored my nandroid backup. Whew.

Lessons: don't flash a new ROM immediately after a full backup, reboot first and then flash. TWRP backs up /data but *does not* back up /data/media so make sure you save your photos, music etc. to MicroSD in case you have to do a full flash in MiFlash.

I did exactly that but unfortunately the same happened, what happened when i tried to flash mi Mi Max 32G previously with Mi Flash. After a couple of seconds flashing i got the error Not enough Memory (translated from german) 0x80070008: Max buffer sector is 256.

Is this because of using mi flash beta?

BUT it seems that boot was flashed at least, so after flashing TWRP again it booted into twrp and i could manage to restore my backup of 8.1.3.

any suggestions ?

[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] seking:
if you have flashed hydrogen rom on helium you are in trouble. Otherwise you can always flash stock fastboot rom meant for your version of mi max. always extract to to the root. In your image it looks like you have extracted in the downloads folder. If you correctly follow the procedure given by the op it should work. My max also was like this. But I flashed stock fastboot rom from EDL..

Now it is working properly. I also unlocked mine twodays ago.
[Xiaomi Mi Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Dacoco:
No you're not! Check what I wrote a few posts before. After the message in mi flash reboot the phone and put it in EDL More again (the next step doesnt work if you don't reboot) and flash twrp. After that twrp works and then flash 8.1.3 or less from the link if the initial post. I had the same **** yesterday and it works.

Did you flash 8.0.3 via mi flash First (with the Error Message)? If you flash 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 it won't work because of the new bootloader. You have to flash an old fastboot ROM via mi flash until it fails, then reboot, then twrp. It will work, i did the same!

MIUI Global 8.0 Stable 8.0.3.0

Also with the guide, do I have to download and flash a ROM on step 4 or can I just install keep my current one on my phone after I flash the twrp?

And also, can I reboot after flashing twrp and go in play store and install SuperSU?

Would I lose all my files if I don't flash a ROM?

Are u saying I do have to flash a new ROM when I want to root using this method?

So I installed the SuperSU.zip in a SD card.

Rebooted in recovery and installed it from there.

Crossed fingers and rebooted my phone....
