On this page, we will guide you to install the TWRP Recovery on Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro (houji/shennong). This guide contains both written instructions and a video tutorial to help you install it quickly. Make sure to download the files required and then jump straight into instructions on how to install TWRP Recovery on Xiaomi 14 / 14 Pro.
Keep in mind that before heading over to the process, you will need to unlock the device bootloader first. As smartphone OEMs provide a locked bootloader to their devices due to some security concerns, in order to install any third-party file, you will need to unlock the bootloader. Then you will be capable to install TWRP Custom Recovery on your Xiaomi 14 / 14 Pro device and root as well. The TWRP Recovery can also take Nandroid backups, restore, wipe out system/data/cache, and more.
Xiaomi 14 Device Overview:
Launched in November 2023, the Xiaomi 14 embodies innovation and sophistication. With dimensions of 152.8 x 71.5 x 8.2 mm (or 8.3 mm) and weighing between 188 g and 193 g, the phone strikes a harmonious balance between portability and a premium build. Boasting an IP68 dust/water-resistant rating, it’s designed to withstand the elements. The device features a mesmerizing LTPO OLED display spanning 6.36 inches, equipped with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and an impressive 120Hz refresh rate. The pixel-rich 1200 x 2670 resolution and 3000 nits peak brightness ensure a captivating and vibrant visual experience.
Underneath the sleek exterior lies formidable hardware, powered by the Qualcomm SM8650-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and Adreno 750 GPU. Storage configurations range from 256GB/8GB RAM to a staggering 1TB/16GB RAM, all utilizing the high-speed UFS 4.0 technology. Running on Android 14 with HyperOS, the Xiaomi 14 delivers a cutting-edge and efficient user experience. The camera system is a photography powerhouse, featuring a triple setup on the back with three 50 MP lenses for wide, telephoto, and ultrawide shots. The 32 MP selfie camera ensures stunning self-portraits. Video recording capabilities are equally impressive, supporting 8K at 24fps and various high-resolution options.
The audio experience is elevated with stereo speakers, complemented by 24-bit/192kHz audio tuning. Connectivity options are comprehensive, including Wi-Fi 6e/7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and infrared port. The absence of a 3.5mm jack is offset by modern USB Type-C 3.2 and an under-display optical fingerprint sensor for enhanced security. With a powerful 4610 mAh battery and rapid 90W wired charging, the Xiaomi 14 ensures a swift power replenishment, reaching 100% in just 31 minutes. The 50W wireless charging and 10W reverse wireless charging further solidify its position as a flagship powerhouse.

What is Root?
Smartphone Rooting is the unofficial way to enable an administrator or superuser access to your device system and subsystem. Therefore, the user can easily tweak, change, edit, or delete system files and apps easily.
With the help of rooting, you can uninstall bloatware, increase device performance, reduce battery draining, install Xposed modules, and more. However, smartphone rooting will void the device warranty and you may not get software OTA updates anymore. An improper way of rooting can also brick your device easily.
