        Flash Official Stock ROM using ADB and Fastboot. After the successful flash, Clear User data in the Stock Recovery. We have to recover the partition. Do these steps. If you need Root, you can do it after your mobile recover.

      Disable Encryption is used to Avoid Encryption issues on your mobile that may cause boot loop issues. Before the Magisk, Install Disable Encryption. If you can’t install, skip the step. It can’t be installed in Some Build numbers.

    Mi A1 uses seamless update so why do we need to flash Force encryption treble?

      Yes, Mi A1 uses Project Treble. But, some region dependent build number versions make issues after the TWRP flash and in first boot. To avoid these issues, We have to flash the encryption. It is optional.

    Hi Ganesh, I followed the steps and rooted my phone successfully, but the only problem I am facing in TWRP Recovery.
    When booting in TWRP, it tells me to give a password to decrypt data to Mount, although I am giving the correct password as my phone it’s giving wrong password error. And if I hit cancel on the password screen then I cannot access any files from TWRP (It shows me on Storage – Internal 0mb)
    I tried Formatting my device and again rooted, the problem still exists.

    Should I have to install another version of TWRP?
    Could you please help me with the problem?
    Thanks.

      Take a complete backup. Flash no-verity-encrypt. When you can get the files again, You have to perform user data reset.

          Did you check it with other Wi-Fi? If you can’t connect with other Wi-Fi. Dial *#*#4636#*#* and restart the Wi-Fi connection. Don’t change different settings.
