On this page, we will guide you to install the TWRP Recovery on Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 (codename: odin). This guide contains both the written instruction 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 Mi Mix 4.
Keep in mind that before heading over to the process, you will need to unlock the device bootloader at first. As the 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 Mi Mix 4 device and root as well. The TWRP Recovery can also take Nandroid backups, restore, wipe out system/data/cache, and more.
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.

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. Therefore, make sure to follow the guide properly.
The advantage of Rooting:
You can get access to all files on your Mi Mix 4, even the files present in the root directory of your phone.
