Hello,

I've go a question about call recording too.

in Global (10.4..5.0 PGGEUXM) there is no recording :/

As I good understand if I want to have this function I should:

1. unlock bootloader(in this moment its locked)

2. install at my phone ROM from Russia/Indonesia/EEA(tutorial in this post at the begining) instead of current Global.

Are there is in any of those ROMs Polish language?

2. Flashed twrp in fastboot using fastboot command.

3. Reboot to twrp,

4. Disable avb2.0

5. Install Magisk 20.1

Please be informed that russian rom does not have call recorder. i personally checked it.

Only indonesian rom work in global varient with call recorder

but you have to first install twrp then flash indonesian recovery rom.

Your device will go in boot loop then don't worry for it

Go to fastboot mode and then flash all the images from the tgz fasboot file of same indonesian rom by using fastboot commands.

ROOTED CN variant with GLOBAL ROM!

WOOHOO!!! SUCCESS!!! FINALLY!!!

Apparently, we just need to this extra step to avoid bootloop "10. Advanced (put 2 ticks) RM Force encrypt "

I redid everything using MiFlashTool and this is my personal guide, improved upon the above guide.

I'm using Global 10.4.2, and using magisk 20.1 instead of 20.2 (It has some issue popping up dialogue boxes that is for granting root access)

1. Download Magisk 20.1

2. Reboot to TWRP Recovery

3. Make Wipe and Format Data

4. Copy and install Magisk 20.1

5. Advanced > File Manager >system_root / system > Delete the recovery_fromboot.p file

6. Advanced (put 2 checkmarks) Close AVB2.0

7. Advanced (put 2 ticks) RM Force encrypt

11. Reboot System

12. Pass authorization, install the Magisk app-release.apk
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
But if you wipe data and then install Magisk 20.1, you don't need to do step 12 because the Magisk app is already installed, right?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
So, I have just managed to install Magisk 20.1 on a Chinese RN8p with MiUI 11 global. I think that the keypoint is to wipe data/cache before Flashing magisk and doing the modifications in the advanced tab in TWRP (avb2.0 and rm-dmverity/encryption). For some reason, it seems that these modifications cannot be done correctly if the system has already booted and data become encrypted previously. But they work just fine if the data partition is unencrypted from the begining. When we boot to system after doing this process, we can see of course that the user data are not encrypted anymore.

So, the biggest problem with Magisk at this point is that it does not support encryption on RN8p Chinese device, and I dont know if it is the same on other Xiaomi devices also.

Update MIUI and ROOT?

3 question.

I have Global V10.4.1.0.PGGMIXM and I have an update available to V11.0.1.0.

1. If I update to V11.0.1.0 could I be able to root the phone after?

2. If I root the phone, could I be able to update to V11.0.1.0 after?

3. I see that in the first guide says "Only global version", but also says

"V10.4.5.0. PGGEUXM only" Which is EEA Version.

I have read that this version is also global. But what If i have global version V10.4.1.0 PGGMIXM and not V10.4.5.0. PGGEUXM ?

Does that guide still valid?

TWRP and ROOT chinese RN8 Pro

After following these methods, i found no luck. To avoid bootlooping, you should prepare stock boot.img and recovery.img ( get it from your own downloaded rom)

As i said, iam using EU rom 10.4.5.0(PGGEUXM) on CHINESE HARDWARE, successfully rooted:

____

PREPARING

____

- TWRP for redmi note 8 pro + Link for it : androidfilehost . com/?fid=1899786940962609481

- ADB with properly installed drivers

- A working computer

- Locked RN8 pro users please stop reading here lol

____

Here is how

_____

-Connect your phone to your computer

-Windows+R, pressing CMD and enter, or whatever you do to open up ADB

- typing : adb devices ► to check if your phone is connected

adb reboot-bootloader ► use this command if you don't want to destroy your button

fastboot devices ► then copying downloaded twrp file to ADB root directory, then rename it to something that easy to type, eg: twrp.img, recovery.img,...

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ► i rename original file name to recovery.img

► then quickly disconnect your phone from your pc, then immeadiately hold both volume up and power button, till the fastboot screen goes blank, release the power button but still holding the volume up button , until the twrp boots up flawlessly.

► if twrp in Chinese, change it into English, if it ask for password , ignore it

► then go to mount, mount SYSTEM, VENDOR, NVDATA

► go back to main screen ADVANCED - file manager - /system_root - /system - find the recovery_fromboot.p and deleit to prevent your phone from restoring the stock recovery

►go back to your main screen: ADVANCED- close AVB 2.0 then swipe to confirm, just tick only 1st box, ignore the second box

►go back to your main screen, ADVANCED - Install root, then swipe to confirm, after that reboot to system, you can clear cache if you want.

DONE !!!!------------------------------ remember that my phone is China ver, not global one--------------------------------------
