Before rooting Xiaomi, be sure that your device has unlocked bootloader. Follow this guide how to root Xiaomi:
- Download and unpack ADB archive on your PC

- Save in the ADB folder the latest TWRP for your device, rename it exactly to “twrp.img”
If you don’t know what TWRP and Magisk archives you need – ask it in the comments, don’t forget to write full model of your Xiaomi and MIUI version! For example: “Root Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A MIUI 9” and I’ll send you archive for rooting Xiaomi you on.
