rom?

If yes your bootloader is unlocked.[/QUOTE]

I definitely don't want(can't) to use the miflash tool. I thought it was necessary to flash the original rom with the mi flash tool and retain functionality. I'm going use twrp or ADB and ffastboot for sure.

-I think I see my problem. I may have messed up the flash versions early on.

To verify if I am correct here:

TWRP uses a recovery img

ADB shell uses a fastboot img

Sorry to ask such basic questions, my last phone was very simple to root and flash. I got lazy on the tech.

I have been using 7zip to unpack, and maybe that is why I get unpack errors sometimes.

Should I be using a specific extraction tool?

Which extraction tools do you use for img files?
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] mais 14:
If you mean to extract a zip img file yes .

If you mean unpack the file system you need specific tools like ex4.

"In the aosp rom find and install root file manager "

[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] redminder:
Yes! Thank you

I lost Magisk, but twrp is fine.

I switched to the custom rom you last recommended: V119system-arm32_binder64-ab-ufOfficial-nosu.img Excellent rom.

I'm wondering if I cannot get root because as [MENTION=9240109]mais 14[/MENTION] said, there is no patched boot for V10.2.4 yet. Is this the case?

Without root the screen flicker is pretty weird, but I'm much farther into a good setup thanks to all the help here. I would prefer to accept screen flicker to avoid using MUI.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
This is what happened to me. After I explicitly flashed the stock boot img for v10.2.5 I lost root because it is a clean stock boot img. What I did afterwards was to boot into TWRP, flash magisk, flash permissiver and reboot. If you dont see magisk manager in the app drawer reboot again and it will show. After that I did not get issues and my phone got rooted. then that way you can fix the screen flickering via the shell commands bosted by mais14

EDIT: you're right, I got root after he posted the patched boot img for the global rom. I forgot about that. so maybe you will need to use miflash tool to upgrade to v10.2.5 then use the global patched boot img.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] minjox3:
This is what I did

patched stock boot.img with twrp

flashed it with adb

flash magisk in twrp then permissive then boot to bootloader then flashed vbmeta

still it did'nt work

the bootimg I need is for global, eu boot img is not working because of wifi problem
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
There is a patched global boot img that mais14 posted in one of the previous pages that I used. That should work for you cause it did for me.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] redminder:
this didn't work for me.

After flashing Magisk in TWRP, there are two button choices [wipe cache/dalvik] and [reboot system]

do you wipe the cache after each flash?

[EDIT] I see your edit, I understand I think.

So could you confirm/correct this proposed procedure please?

1. I use twrp to wipe the system and install the original rom which shipped on my phone.

2. I use the Xaiomi mi flash tool to upgrade to V10.2.5

3. I use the OP info and root normally.

After I that I won't need to find a V10.2.4 patch?

Thank you.

---------- Post added at 14:37 ---------- Previous post was at 14:35 ----------

Thanks for all of your help!

I'm going to use the phone in flicker mode unrooted for a day or two and give myself a tech break. ;)

-This way I see how nice this hardware runs without MIU. on MUI I used to wait up to ten seconds for the screen to power on. I would miss calls due to lag and my ear would randomly dial numbers while I was on the phone. ...so flicker away little redmi. If I'm lucky, some clever person puts out a V10.2.4 patch. :D

EDIT: The sim card is appearing, but it isn't working. system lets me unlock it on boot up, and sees provider named and selected for data use, but non functioning. What a tedious piece of gear!

You'll most probably lose ALL your data your phone. Please use with extreme caution!

we not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone by installing any custom ROMs

first of all check if enabled ARB protection.

check miui rom version and if is global international or global eu something like PCMEUXM 10.2.5 or indian vers.

1. Unlock the bootloader with miu unlock tool

2. Download recovery and vbmeta.img file download from first post

3. Download patched_boot {if you need root } *for the time being only 10.2.5 glopal eu and 10.2.5 glopal intern/nal rom don't use for another version because you will have problems with wifi sim card and brick. for all other versions skip this steps.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cGbHxuKgppaUE4Ik8zBzpcEzIDU21E-Z/view?usp=sharing

https://filehorst.de/download.php?file=cFqIgsev

4.rename the patched boot file to boot.img{skip if dont need root} and paste it with recovery into the adb folder

Reboot the phone by holding "volume - and power" the phone will reboot bootloader

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

{ holding "volume + and power" the phone will reboot into TWRP}

5. Unpack the downloaded firmware

6. Make the Data format, wipe System, Davlik / Cache

7. Select Install img below - select the firmware

file - select System

8. reboot recovery flash open gapps arm 9 pico

{if need} only aosp rom

9. reboot recovery flash the last magisk for root {skip if dont need root}

10. flash permissiver v4 zip download from first post

11. Go back, select reboot - to the bootloader

12. Drop the vbmeta file into the adb folder and flash vmbeta with

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot reboot

For All Those As Unfortunate As Me

After days of trying all possible combinations|suggestions|recommendations|assumptions on how to have:

1.TWRP

2.ROOT

3.GSI

-- And of course failed. :(

--- I will settle for 1 and 2 for now. :D

If you are like me that tried all what was here on this thread and other sources, was not able to install any of the fancy GSI roms. And you have a global version of this phone.

You can still have root and twrp working on the stock 10.2.5 ROM. with no screen and wifi issues.

Basically what I did is the same as what was mentioned in OP. But instead of the patched eu boot.img from OP, use the patched global boot.img posted by mais14. And instead of the fancy GSI roms .img file I used the stock MIUI 10.2.5 system.img file from:

Have you registered your device's unique ID with Google? O dont have a google account on my phone but managed to register the device and everything works fine. See this link for more info: https://www..ANDROIDSAGE dot com/20...-not-certified-by-google-error-on-play-store/

I used the deviceID app to get my GFS unique id and went to the google page to register the phone, rebooted then everything was good to go....well after making sure location backends are configured and the push otification tester gave positive checks for everything.

Also if you really dont need playstore I would go for Aurora Store as an alternative (i use it). It sources all the apps you want as apks directly from the playstore using an optionally anonymous identity.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] FredQ:
Now I'm definitely confused as to what's happening because when I download the device-id app there is no number in the "GFS Unique ID". I did a fresh install of the v119 microg img linked in this thread and proceeded to install the device-id app. How can that be missing?
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
You didnt do anything wrong. That happened with me as well. What I did was re-install microG using the mcroG installer via Magisk. Then rebooted twice. The device ID then finally appeared and I was then able to register the phone

[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] redminder:
Success! (nearly)

The issue I was having running mi flash was solved by creating an empty folder "log" in the miflash parent folder.

-I followed the instructions and used mi flash tool to re-install mui v10.2.4 global which shipped with my phone.

-Then I upgraded to v10.2.5 from within the phone using wifi and updater.

-When v10.2.5 was working I followed the directions from the xontax, mais 14, and MDV106 to get root and flash custom rom "V119system-arm32_binder64-ab-ufOfficial-nosu".

-Fixed screen flickering.

Here's the current situation.

Working: TWRP, Magisk, Custom GSI, Google play, Wifi, Voice calls send and receive, Simple txt msg(non mms) send and receive.

Not Working:

-Phone number Unknown (under 'about phone')

-Mobile Data connection (set as preferred sim for data, sms, and calls)

Does anyone have any insight as to what I can do to get the phone number listed and connected to data services?

Thank you!

Here is a txt file of cut and paste info from the thread. I was keeping at the top of folder to help me sort things out. Maybe somebody can put together a readable master list or something that includes everything working so far.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I would think the data connection has to be setup depending on your carrier instructions. First check access point names in your mobile network settings. Do you have mobile data bundles loaded on your Sim? Also the phone number not listed in about means nothing. I also have the same thing but my mobile data and everything else works correctly.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] redminder:
I have plenty of data on the sim. Sim works with data on other phones. So it's something with the rom or the settings I suppose.

I looked up apn settings for my provider (bouygues) and it seems like i have the settings listed from the sites correct. there are more options on the phone than I found answers to however, and I am not an expert on apn settings.

https://apn.how/france/bouygues
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] MDV106:
I see. Try taking the Sim out and reinserting it on a different slot. See if it responds as expected.
[Redmi 7A Guides, News, & Discussion] redminder:
Same behavior. weird. everything else seems ok and stable. no mms. no data.

But when I click the button on the app nothing happens, it's the same with other apps that use this option. Is this an issue with microg in general or is it unique to my setup?
