If you are either going to root your phone or install a Custom ROM, it is a good habit to make a back up of your phone. Make a back up of all your media like images, videos and all on your PC and your contacts on Cloud.

(Applicable only for PC method, Skip if you will use APK method)

Downloads For Rooting Xiaomi Redmi 7A

Download Universal ADB Drivers  (If your PC have already drivers installed then skip this)

Download platform-tools/ SDK Tools package from Android SDK on PC from . (Android command line tools> SDK Tools package)

Download TWRP Recovery for Xiaomi Redmi 7A from here:

(Sourceforge.net Link)

Download SuperSU by Chainfire from .

Download Magisk Manager from .

Make sure that you have downloaded the required files (link in pre-requisite section of this article). Then, proceed to the steps.

Note: If you have already unlocked bootloader, then skip these steps.

Step 1: Visit the MIUI website’s  page, after visiting, just Sign in with your Mi ID. Make sure to register account with proper details, if it is already registered, which is a general case since you are a Mi user, then it’s good and well. Now, at the website you must request for the unlocking permissions/Bootloader unlock, mentioning the proper reason to unlock the device. The reason should be justifiable, and following which your device’s bootloader would be unlocked.

Step 2: After receiving the permission from Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader of your device, download the MiUnlock app. After downloading the MiUnlock app, just unlock bootloader of your device.

Now, you can Root Xiaomi Xiaomi Redmi 5A as bootloader of your device is already unlocked.

Step 1: Assuming you have already downloaded the platform-tools from Android SDK (SDK Manager) platform-tools on your PC. The platform-tools contains the required adb and fastboot binaries.

Step 2: Make sure that the drivers are installed on your computer. Then, skip to the next step.

Note: If Developer Settings and USB Debugging settings are already enabled on your device, as suggested in Prerequisite section, then simply skip the Step 3 and Step 4, and follow Step 5 directly.

Step 3: Now, enable the developer settings on your Xiaomi Redmi 7A Device. To achieve the same, just navigate to the Settings -> About and then find the ‘Build Number ‘, and then tap on ‘Build Number’ for 7 times, this will enable the developer settings on your device.

Step 4: If you have USB Debugging already, then skip this step. If you have not, then open the Developer Options and then enable USB debugging option.

Step 5: Now, open the command prompt in computer/ ADB Terminal, and simply type the command:

adb reboot bootloader

Step 6: Your device should have not entered into fastboot mode. Now copy the TWRP.img file downloaded in prerequisite section, to the same folder where adb and fastboot binaries are located. Rename the file to ‘twrp.img’ and then enter this command:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

and then run this command, type:

fastboot reboot

Step 7: This step is optional, Flash stock vbmeta with the command:

fastboot –disable-verity –disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Step 8: Make sure that you navigate to the same directory as TWRP image file and ADB/Fastboot executables, type this command:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.x.x-y-grus-YYmmdd.img

x, y, and YYmmdd represents version of TWRP being flashed, i.e. 3.3.1 or 3.3.0 etc..

Step 7: : Some devices might not replace the custom recovery automatically during the first boot. You can search Google for key combinations to enter your device into recovery mode. After running the ‘fastboot reboot’ command, press and hold the proper key combination to enter device into TWRP Mode. Once the device boots to TWRP mode, the TWRP will automatically patch the stock ROM, to prevent the chances of replacing TWRP with Stock Recovery.

After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don’t follow this step, you will have to repeat the install. However, you must be aware that there might be the need to reflash stock vbmeta with disabled verity to successfully boot stock rom.

Make sure that you have downloaded SuperSU or Magisk Manager (link in pre-requisite section of this article). Then, proceed to the steps.

Caution: You can use either Magisk Manager or Super SU, but only one, so choose wisely. Go for Magisk Manager if you are not sure.

Step 1: Transfer the downloaded SuperSU or Magisk Manager file to the internal storage / SD card of your Xiaomi Redmi 7A smartphone.

Step 2: Now, just boot into the recovery. From the TWRP interface, you can optionally backup the Stock ROM. Though, I would recommend to backup the Stock ROM. Because if in case process gets failed, you can flash the Stock ROM.

Step 3: Tap on Install ‘, and then navigate to the file ‘SuperSU.zip’ or ‘magisk.zip’ and swipe to confirm flash (located at the bottom of the screen). The flashing process of Magisk/ SuperSU has been started and will take few seconds to complete.

Congratulations, now you have rooted Xiaomi Redmi 7A and also flashed the TWRP. Now, you can install Xposed Framework, and customize your smartphone as per your preference. If you wish to verify, you may download and check the Root Status through .
