如何获取Redmi Note 5 Pro的Root权限？含MIUI 9.2.4（基于Nougat）机型问询

Hey there! I totally get the struggle of hunting for root guides on a fairly new device like your Redmi Note 5 Pro running MIUI 9.2.4 (Android Nougat). A lot of early builds don’t have tons of documentation floating around, so let me walk you through the tested, reliable steps I’ve used for this exact setup—no sketchy external links, just straightforward actions.

Before diving in, make sure you have these covered:

• A Windows/macOS/Linux computer with ADB/Fastboot tools installed
• A USB cable that can handle data transfer (not just charging)
• Full backup of all your data—every step from here will wipe or risk wiping your device
• A Xiaomi account linked to your phone for at least 7 days (some regions require longer; this is mandatory for bootloader unlock)

Xiaomi locks bootloaders by default, so this is the first hurdle:

1. Head to the official Xiaomi unlock platform (search for "Xiaomi Bootloader Unlock" on their official site) and submit an unlock request. Wait for approval—this can take a few hours to a couple of days.
2. Once approved, download the Xiaomi Unlock Tool to your computer and install it.
3. Turn off your phone, then boot into Fastboot mode by holding Power + Volume Down until you see the Mi Bunny logo.
4. Connect your phone to the computer, open the Xiaomi Unlock Tool, log in with your approved account, and follow the on-screen prompts to unlock. This will erase all data on your device—don’t skip backing up!

You’ll need two specific files tailored to your build:

• TWRP Recovery for Redmi Note 5 Pro (codename: vince): Make sure it’s explicitly compatible with Android Nougat/MIUI 9.2.4. Avoid generic TWRP builds—look for ones labeled for your device and OS version.
• Magisk ZIP (Stable Version): Grab a Magisk release that supports Android 7.x (Nougat) — versions like v16.x work perfectly here. Newer Magisk versions might not play nice with older MIUI builds.

1. Keep your phone in Fastboot mode and connected to the computer.
2. Open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux) in the folder where you saved the TWRP image.
3. Run this command (replace twrp-vince-nougat.img with your actual TWRP filename):

   fastboot flash recovery twrp-vince-nougat.img
   

4. As soon as the flash finishes, immediately boot into TWRP by holding Power + Volume Up. Don’t let the phone reboot normally—MIUI will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery otherwise.

Now that TWRP is up and running:

1. In TWRP, tap Install and navigate to the Magisk ZIP file you downloaded.
2. Select the ZIP and swipe the slider at the bottom to confirm the flash.
3. Once the flash completes, tap Reboot System.
4. After your phone boots back up, install the Magisk Manager APK (it might not auto-install on older MIUI builds). Open it, and you should see a confirmation that your device is rooted successfully.

• Unlocking the bootloader will void your official Xiaomi warranty. Keep that in mind before proceeding.
• If TWRP can’t access your internal storage, you might need to format the data partition. Back up first, then go back to Fastboot mode and run:

  fastboot format userdata
  

• Skip SuperSU entirely—Magisk offers systemless root, which is way more stable with MIUI and won’t trigger as many safety net issues.
• Don’t try to downgrade your MIUI build after rooting/unlocking—Xiaomi’s anti-rollback protection will brick your device.
