Easy Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Root Tutorial | Pro & Pro Max Supported

We can gain root access to the Redmi Note 10 smartphone with the help of both Fastboot and Magisk. Although, you do need to have the bootloader unlocked ahead of time.

So that really is the only requirement here before you begin this video. You will need to have the bootloader unlocked. If you haven't done that yet, then be sure to check the link below to walk you through that. Xiaomi gave me a 7-day waiting period to unlock my bootloader (so you may get the same).

With that done, you'll then want to look for a way to download the firmware that matches what is on your phone right now. I typically do this using the website linked below as it's a great tool provided by a dedicated member of the Android dev community (be sure to give them a donation if you can afford it).

When downloading the firmware, make sure it matches the device name/codename and version of MIUI that is listed in the About Phone section of the Settings app. I highlight the important parts here in the video before diving into the actual rooting part.

Watch as Magisk works its magic (in the log screen) and then make note of the output file it mentions. This needs to be copied from the Redmi Note 10 back to the PC. We need to put that file in the same folder as our ADB & Fastboot Tools.

If you haven't yet installed ADB & Fastboot tools, go ahead and do that as well.

The Fastboot program should direct it to the proper a/b partition automatically. But we can manually flash it by replacing boot with boot_a or boot_b. That's a bit more complex though and isn't needed here.

Now you just need to restart the Redmi Note 10s and the phone should boot right back into Android like normal. You can now download a root checker app like I did and test things out.
