[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mcarden2006:
If this belongs in another location please move it for me. This is instructions for twrp install and how I did it with so many questions about it.

First by no means am I the developer of the links I provided.

I don't remember where I got them but with plenty of research through different sites and finding the right downloads, I successfully completed everything perfectly with both twrp and root sticking.

This process worked perfectly on my International Redmi Note 8 Pro with Global Miui 11.

1. Unlock the bootloader by following these steps:

Start developer mode by going to: Open settings - About phone - click on Miui version 7 times

Go back to settings page and scroll to Additional settings - Developer mode will be on the bottom

Open Developer mode and tick OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging

Under WebView Implementation you will see Mi Unlock Status

Open Mi Unlock Status - Agree on Permissions Required and Add account and device

2. Go to https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and register your device with your mi account information and wait 168 hours till bootloader unlock is allowed. When time comes around you can unlock by using https://www.xiaomigeek.com/download-mi-flash-unlock-tool.html tool which you can download here.

3. After your device is unlocked now will be the fun part.

4. Download Twrp.img - [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-TwMZERIzwoq3KOQ5C3_3MPU5cZwSU0s/view?usp=sharing[/URL]

5. Download Magisk from ******************

6. Make sure ADB 15 second installer is installed on your computer prior to step 7. - [url]https://androidmtk.com/download-15-seconds-adb-installer[/URL]

7. Boot to fastboot by powering down - press and hold both power and volume down till fastboot xiaomi rabbit comes up.

8. Go to C Drive and locate adb folder - open up the folder - make sure nothing is highlighted and while having your mouse in the center of the folder window - press shift and right click. This will open a popup for PowerShell.

9. Type in fastboot flash recovery and drag the twrp file to the PowerShell window where ever you placed the file.

10. Most important press volume down and power until fastboot shuts down and quickly pressed the volume up. Do not release the power up until twrp comes up twice. After the second time you can release the volume up button.

11. Most likely the twrp will be in Chinese, just choose English and before swiping make sure the read only is ticked. Now you will be on the main twrp screen.

12. Go to mount and choose Data, system, vendor, cust, nvdata, and sd card - press home.

13. Go to advanced - and tick Close AVB2.0 and swipe

14. Go to File Manager and click on system_root, system, and on the bottom you will see a file above vender regarding to booting recovery or something like that. Click on that file and choose delete. This will stop MIUI from reinstalling stock recovery.

15. Back out of the file manager and choose install root.

16. Now you should be safe to reboot the phone without bootlooping.

17. Once you bootup will see Magisk on your second screen. Make sure you update the magisk software and update the magisk root file. I chose direct install and reboot which worked perfectly.

18. After you installed the updated magisk, make sure you go to app info for magisk and allow all permissions. MIUI locks a lot of stuff down but I was able to get everything working perfectly thanks for the long time researching everywhere.

19. If you want to reinstall MIUI 10.4.1 I included this file as well which will include the .bat files to restore your phone - I will update the link once it is uploaded.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to help out.

Thank you again and happy rooting.
