Greeting Mi A1 fans...
What's new and how is going for the 2018? Wishing everyone a great year ahead and this is my first article for 2018. What is rooting? Rooting is the process of allowing the user to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems.
Good news is Mi A1 is getting an Android 8.0 upgrade, on the other hand most users will find the previous method of installing TWRP is no longer working on Android 8.0 ROM. No worries, for those still insisting on Rooting their devices, here is the old-school method of getting Root Permission, while stay tuned for installing TWRP on my next series.
Let's get going. Read this Guide a couple of times and get a grasp of it, and if you still feel doubtful or find it too difficult, its just not meant for you, as this is meant for an advanced user to fully comprehend the rational of the method.
