I try to root a Xiaomi Redmi note 5. After issuing the command

fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-vince.img

The screen turns black, with the Xiaomi logo at the center of the screen and 'Unlocked' is written at the bottom. I've tried several img versions, verified their names are correct(that is, they don't end with a double .img), as well as holding the Volume up and Power buttons, but the outcome was always the same.

My CMD:

C:\Users\Oagroup\Desktop\ADB>fastboot devices
380387a fastboot

C:\Users\Oagroup\Desktop\ADB>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0-0-vince.img

Thanks for the help.

  • https://android.stackexchange.com/q/214902 the first command flashed TWRP, therefore you must disable dm-verity. i recommend OrangeFox Recovery because TWRP has issues with disk quota – alecxs Aug 28 '20 at 20:40
  • I don't understand the instructions in the link. What should I do after I download the zip? Should I flash it, and if so, how? (I am all new to this stuff). – yonatan Aug 29 '20 at 09:07
  • no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip can be installed from TWRP menu. please confirm your device is vince (not whyred, rosy, riva) flash TWRP from fastboot (again), then fastboot reboot (while keep holding Volume Up) – alecxs Aug 29 '20 at 13:18
  • after flashing keep connected, press + hold Volume Up only (not Power), type fastboot reboot while holding Volume Up, release Button when you see TWRP splash screen – alecxs Aug 29 '20 at 18:31
