If you’re using the Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 (odin) device and want to enable root access via Magisk then this guide is for you. In this guide, we have shared with you the steps to Root Mi Mix 4 using Magisk without TWRP in a very simple way for your ease.
In order to root your Xiaomi Mi Mix 4, we will use the Magisk to patch the stock boot image and flash that to your device’s boot partition. Now, if you ask why Magisk? It’s a system-less root process that doesn’t tamper with the system partitions while enabling root access. Magisk can also hide online security measures to work apps properly like any banking app, SafetyNet, etc.
Mi Mix 4 was unveiled at a special event in China which is Xiaomi’s first commercial phone to carry an under-display camera. The device packs octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ SoC, along with up to 12GB RAM. The phone carries the triple rear camera setup that houses a 108-megapixel primary sensor, a 13-megapixel sensor with a periscope-shaped telephoto lens to support 50x zoom, as well as an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter.
