Great work [MENTION=8721172]anglican007[/MENTION], one thing, at first i did not do vbmeta, and it seemed to work for some time, but after few reboots, under some conditions, things started to revert back, no twrp, or magisk... once vbmeta.img (verify boot) was flashed that was resolved, from above:
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] anglican007:
finding vbmeta

Hi stormy1777,

I confess that I don´t know where to find this vbmeta.img (must it be a special file for Redmi 7a?), when to flash it (maybe at the end?), what would change after this flashing and, finally, whether it is a safe proces (don´t want to install the whole mess again).

Thanks

Tom
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] stormy1777:
Tom, I'm no expert, by any means, but spent many days/weeks on understanding two 7A, had early background with Android4/5/6, they changed things in Android 9 it seems they have "Verify Boot" (hence, VBmeta.img), which, under some conditions, "verifies" that all is OK, and if it thinks it is NOT, it will somehow revert things to "good state", which for you, most likely will be BAD, as it will overwrite TWRP, with standard recovery, at least that's what it did to me, after few days/weeks, TWRP was gone, and also Magisk.

The file is TINY, and gets flushed to a dedicated partition called, vbmeta, is it safe? I think so, but nothing is certain, maybe that tiny file has some unknown virus or what not, but compared to the other GB of stuff installed on the phone, i would not hesitate, chances you won't notice anything, as everything will run normally, if you do NOT, then you run the chance that verify boot (read about it), will strike you, and sometimes, in the least expected places, like when you go in underground/train, change wifi, and u reboot for some reason to pickup signal, the phone decides, oh, wait, something is wrong, and you lose root, etc :) not fun, I've been in similar case, hence I mention it :) where to find, that is mentioned in this thread too:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81073059&postcount=8

That doesn't work, I've tried several times.
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] stormy1777:
I don't know about others, but, my mind-reading apparatus was left in year 2120, I'll get to it in 100 years, until then, folks would have to be a bit more verbal, otherwise, send your phone, and we'll fix it for you :) That's just a joke.. otherwise i may end up with 20 phones shipped (hmm.. not such a bad idea.. you want them back too???)..

if you need help, be specific, WHAT does not work? error? symptom? did you also flash vbmeta, once u start answering these questions and construct an email that follows and answers to the guide/steps, u'd probably fix the issue and your phone (like, maybe it's on MIUI11 :)...

good luck!! all in goodness of course.
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Galuaa:
Don't know if i'm late

After reading several unsuccessful tutorials, I made it work. It's simplier than you thought.

-I reflash stock firmware Global 11.0.4

-downloaded the patched boot.img for my version (found it on a xiaomifirmware guide)

-flashed it with fasboot commands (fastboot flash boot boot.img) , without twrp, any other zip or app to do it.

-wipe data on stock recovery, and bam, magisk 20.1 installed.
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] stormy1777:
Great, just notice you'r replying on thread titled: "MIUI 11.0.6", there are other general rooting/Redmi 7A, the idea for this thread is to see if possible on MIUI 11 :) Anyways, great that u got it working :)
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Speederer:
EDIT:

I didn't see the last 2 posts about MIUI 11, just after I posted mine. But the question about further update is still valid. How can I get (keep) root access after on update?

Finally have you managed to get root rights with MIUI 11?

I went through your tutorial and got 10.2.5 with working Magisk and root, but I want to update to MIUI 11. I tried the official OTA updater, but it failed with some red message in TWRP. I suppose the OTA update and TWRP are not friends, so I downloaded the pine_global_images_V11.0.4.0.PCMMIXM_20191029.0000.00_9.0_global_cd3e867fe7.tgz from https://c.mi.com/thread-2621375-1-0.html

The flashing and the update to MIUI 11 were successful, but "Magisk is not installed", just the Magisk manager. I tried to flash magisk_boot-11.0.4MI.img to boot partition, but after that the system cannot boot up. After reflashing again the above MIUI 11 image from TWRP the system works fine again, but I don't have root access.

Is it possible to solve this problem?
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Speederer:
Already I have root access on MIUI 11.0.5. The key was "Format Data" when the phone cannot boot with modified boot image. It seemed too drastic step for me at first, but it helped to solve my problem.

Unfortunately all installed applications and configuration lost in this case, but this is the price for root rights. :)
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] stormy1777:
Great, interesting... maybe if you produce a boot.img (copied using twrp), it might work for rest of us without having to format data :)

as it stands, the flashing of magisk on boot.img (stock, be it miui 10 or 11) does not work, for me only the provided boot.img allowed for root access/magisk, there after it was just updating in-place... it's not like i'm not losing sleep, not a big deal, the miui 10 seems very stable and fine :)
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Speederer:
Sorry, this is not my phone, therefore I cannot save the current boot image from twrp.

But I uploaded this file:

[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] jmo707:
Hey! That's nice of you! I've tried and, as far as it seemed, it worked. Thanks!

The only problem I have is with unlocking the phone with a PIN. It won't recognize it. I knew there was a way to remove a file from TWRP and remove the PIN with it, but I don't remember which...

Any advice?

Edit: I've found this, from XeoNox on another thread:

Edit2: Using the TWRP File Manager I was able to navigate into \Data\System and remove the locksettings.db file to remove the PIN on the lockscreen.
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] sjcbank:
My device does not have this problem. I did not set a screen lock password before flashing this rom

You can delete the path:

data/system/gatekeeper.password.key
data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key
data/system/locksettings.db
data/system/locksettings.db-shm
data/system/locksettings.db-wal

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delete password with TWRP

TWRP-3.3.1 mod EN-VI.img
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] jmo707:
Oh... Then, if no password is setted before flashing the ROM, setting it up later shouldn't give this problem? You have a working PIN?

Anyway, your posts are very illustrative and helpful, thanks [MENTION=9373522]sjcbank[/MENTION]
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] sjcbank:
No need, you can delete with twrp
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] jmo707:
Great! I've done that. But my question is if you can set a PIN code to lock the screen of your phone. I couldn't. It always rejects the PIN entered. Pattern and passwords do the same.

Does the boot 11.0.6 works for global version? (PCMMIXM)?

Also 11.0.14 works for global too? Or strictly for EU version only?

Can you use the backup restore function of this TWRP? ive tried the LRTeam TWRP on miui 10.2.5 before and restoring does not work. Thanks!
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] regularfanb0y:
I can restore too but when rebooting to system. It just bootloops or loops back to twrp.

Have you actually tried restoring from a backup and able to bootup?
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] mastersanta:
Can you tell how you achieved the boot_11.0.14.img file? I have already tried many different ways and unfortunately I can't reproduce this img file. The best thing that happened to me was pathed boot.img file (i.e. by Magisk Manager) and not working Magisk after flash it.

Now I have a clean fastboot 11.0.14 system installed, then push in your IMG file, clean the partition /data and it looks like everything is working fine. So the secret is in the IMG file, and I want to be able to do it in the future with more IMGs when they come out :)

The only option that works as in the tutorial is the installation of Magisk in Recovery. However, then to use Magisk I always have to start the phone specially (timing and key combination), and it still does not solve the problem of passing the SafetyNet test.

Please, describe step by step (since "I have the original boot.img file") how you achieved this boot_11.0.14.img.

Thank you

hello, i wanted to stay in stock rom, but i need to get rooted to be able to install Battery Charge Limit as i use the phone mostly as an LTE internet connected to an Asus router via USB tethering. what is the simplest rooting approach step by step?

my bootloader still locked, and this is a China Redmi 7A on MIUI 11. it prompts me to update the MIUI, but i didn't yet.

thanks for the ideas

"This upload does not exist" (looks like the file - whatever it was - expired!
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] oranabana:
None of the linked files above worked for me on my Redmi 7A (2GB/32GB). It just gives me an error each time. I did wipe 'Data', but didnt help. The Repack file throws an error each time
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] oranabana:
What did work for me is a download of the EU 11.0.6 firmware (xiaomi.eu_multi_HM7A_V11.0.6.0.PCMCNXM_v11-9.zip) ( click here to download zip)

1. Download the above zip ROM

2. extract the ROM to your computer

3. find the 'boot.img' file

4. go to the following site: https://patcher.yaalex.xyz/

5. upload the 'boot.img' file from step 3.

6. save the created 'patched_boot.img' file to your computer

7. Restart phone into TWRP

8. use WIPE > Format Data (type yes)

9. Install the ZIP from step 1.

10. Install the patched_boot.img' file from step 6. (optionally rename it 'boot.img' prior to install)

11. Dont reboot!

12. Go to TWRP>Mount>deselect everything except 'Data' and 'ExternalSD'

13. Install zipped Magisk_19.3.zip

14. Reboot

15. open Magisk Manager and update Magisk Manager to 8.0 (released 3-OCT-20) and Magisk to 20.4.

Worked for me, after nothing else worked... use at own risk I guess.
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Tavinhotm9:
Acho que tenho a solução:

Tnte isto: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Vbmeta e recovery também

(Boot img pra versão oficial da rom que estás a instalar)

No twrp wipe all.

De flash na rom

Em seguida no magisk

Em seguida permissiver file

Em seguida certification patch

Ok

Vamos lá

Inicie o dispositivo, APK do magisk instalado >> perceba, ele não está instalado. Mova o boot.img (da versão oficial da rom) para o dispositivo Android

no APK do magisk vá em instalar e selecione corrigir imagem de boot - selecione o boot.img que você acabou de mover para o seu dispositivo

Inicialize e vá para o twrp

navegue até a pasta do download que fica no armazenamento interno e selecione o arquivo que acabou de ser criado -- selecione como imagem de boot e dê flash. Inicie e seja feliz

na tela do twrp ele está mostrando sempre só arquivos zip, no canto inferior esquerdo já dentro da pasta de arquivos no twrp dá pra mudar o gerenciador pra mostrar as ".img" conseguirás fleshar
[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] Laurent de Lyon:
Thanks ! It also worked for me. You can find the specs of my smartphone in the attached file.

I had a problem with changing location settings, fixed it by enabling all location settings at the first setup screen. After that, it worked, I could change them without any issues.

I had another problem with MIUI optimization option not being displayed in developer settings. I wanted to disable MIUI optimization because Aurora store didn't worked well with it.

Fixed it by opening a terminal in TWRP, typing "setprop persist.sys.miui_optimization false", enter.

I don't remember what I did to install TWRP (I did it since a while).

Hi, I'm specifically looking for a thin case that does

not

have a raised lip at the bottom. I use gestures to navigate and find the bottom lip really gets in the way, so if anyone can recommend "lipless" case I'd be really grateful.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] lightmastertech:
I use the UAG Monarch case for my S10+. While it does have a little lol at the bottom to protect the screen when face down, it doesn't at all get in my way of using Navigation Gestures. In fact, I feel that it helps when in a dark environment cuz I know if I touch my finger on the lip and then swipe up, I'll activate the gestures.

Also, the sides are recessed enough to keep the curved screen feel of the phone, and I've dropped my phone from several feet several times with no noticeable damage.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
how small can you make the fonts?

I mean across everything? I like making the best use of screen relestate and with a VGA screen you should be able to use small fonts (enough pixels), but maybe hold the phone closer to read them :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] czbird:
how can I lower the font size in the menus?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Baronic:
start > settings > system > screen.

please read your manual =.=
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HKPDAman:
When you go into the sms thread mode ( by pressing the SMS screen ) you can then use your finger to touch and scroll clockwise ( enlarge the sms text ) or anti-clockwise ( reduce the sms text ). The same method can also apply for enlarge or reduce the photo size under the album view mode.

It's very responsive, not necessary to change the text size on screen setting.:p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sandervanzijl:
i meant in the tf3d screen. you cannot read the complete message text there.

offcourse you can do it elsewhere

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepPuddles666:
Hey y'all, so I'm not sure how well hardware related questions go down on here usually, but not sure where else to ask. So I have about 2.5 Samsung Galaxy s6's. All were given to me at different stages slash periods of time and none of them exactly work fully. Where I am at now is sort of realizing that either: 1. I have to faulty digitizers, or 2. the one battery I have between them is completely shots, or 3. a combination of one and two as well as some other s*** going on.

So what I have for parts AR, two motherboards two digitizers, three bodies, and one battery. I get kind of the same issue switching between the motherboards which is this: I will plug the phones in to my computer and it will read them and say something like SM and then the numbers that represent the s6, and I'll have a either red l LED for a while which will then turn green after a while charging, or a blue LED from the get-go which I believe just stays blue the entire time. Now, the weird thing is that neither of the phones will turn on, however, whenever I push the home button with either digitizer or either motherboard, it will cause the LED to turn off, but will not cause the phone to stop being recognized by the computer. When I say recognized by the computer I don't mean it shows up in the my PC folder, like where I can access the files and such, it just shows up in the device manager, thus giving me the impression that it never actually turns on. This also happens if I end a press up on the volume at any point in time. Also worth noting whenever I unplug it from the computer or just from the charger, the phone will power off completely as in not be recognized by the computer. So, any ideas? I'm thinking of just selling the phones as is maybe for a 150 total for everything but I'd like to fix that myself if it's just something as small as a battery issue. the volume up button and the home button turn the phones off though, is what really perplexes me. Thanks for any insight, much appreciated for the read and have a good Thanksgiving.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
dang man, id just sell em unless you want a winter project. I just bought a Sunfire sub that has some issues for a winter project, but thats because im a dork and i like that kind of stuff.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepPuddles666:
Damn :( never heard of such an issue? I'd had hoped that the volume up key as well as the home button both restarting (or, turning the LED off for about ten seconds at least) would have been some kind of dead giveaway, if not just a straight up common occurrence, haha. I even got ANOTHER S6 last night from a homie (asked her if I could borrow the battery lol, she just gives me the whole broken phone) to try and switch out parts, which I'm gonna give a quick shot at tonight at least. But man, no responses other than hours has me quite discouraged :') lol thanks for the time to read at least tho my dude ?
