A plethora of mods and tweaks are already waiting to make a permanent abode on your device. But before you could do so, there’s an important prerequisite that you need to checkmark off the list- you need to gain administrative privileges. In other words, your Xiaomi 13 Por should be rooted via Maigsk. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started.
Benefits and Risks of Rooting Xiaomi 13 Pro
Once you root your device by flashing the Magisk patched boot.img via Fastboot Commands, you will be in a position to try out a plethora of customizations on your device. These include the likes of flashing custom ROMs, installing a custom recovery like TWRP, or flashing a custom kernel. Along the same lines, you could also flash Magisk Modules, Xposed Framework, Substratum Themes, Viper4Android, and the likes. However, this is just one side of the story.
Carrying out this process also has its downsides. First off, the process requires an unlocked bootloader. Doing so will wipe off all the data and could nullify the device’s warranty as well. Likewise, WideVine L1 will be degraded to L3, resulting in the inability to stream Netflix in HD [FIXED]. Then the SafetyNet will be triggered [FIXED], which might cause issues with banking apps [FIXED]. If that’s well and good, then let’s get started with the steps to root Xiaomi 13 Pro.
How to Root Xiaomi 13 Pro via Magisk Patched Init_Boot
The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow the same sequence as mentioned. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps. NOTE: Since Xiaomi 13 Pro came with Android 13 out of the box, we will be using the init_boot.img file instead of boot.img for rooting.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide to root your Xiaomi 13 Pro.
STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
Next up, you will also have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.
So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on MIUI Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
STEP 3: Unlock Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco Bootloader
Next up, you will need to unlock the device’s bootloader. However, doing so will wipe off all the data and could nullify the device’s warranty as well. So if that’s all well and good, then please refer to our guide on How to Unlock the Bootloader on any Xiaomi Device. Once that is done, you may move over to the next step to root your Xiaomi/Poco/Redmi via Magisk.
STEP 4: Download Xiaomi Fastboot ROM
Next up, you will have to download the Fastboot ROM for your device. Make sure to download the same version that is currently installed on your device (you could verify the same from your device’s Build Number). As far as the downloading source is concerned, you could get it from the official MIUI site or a third-party site like Xiaomi Firmware Updater (if the official website is blocked in your region).
STEP 5: Get Xiaomi 13 Pro Stock Init_Boot.img
STEP 6: Patch Xiaomi 13 Pro Init_boot via Magisk
STEP 7: Boot Xiaomi 13 Pro to Fastboot Mode
STEP 8: Root Xiaomi via Magisk Patched Init_Boot
That’s it. These were the steps to root your Xiaomi 13 Pro via Magisk. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments section. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest. On the other hand, if you had permanently flashed it, then you will have to flash the stock boot.img file as instructed below: If the aforementioned method didn’t spell out success, then you’ll have to disable the verity checks by flashing the vbmeta file which, in turn, should fix the bootloop issue.
