What to note before you root your Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s

1. Rooting breaks apps out of Android’s normal security sandbox. Apps could abuse root privileges you’ve granted and snoop on other apps, something which isn’t normally possible. In fact, Google prevents you from using Android Pay on rooted devices for this reason.
2. Some manufacturers assert that rooting voids your device’s warranty. However, rooting will not actually damage your hardware. In many cases, you can “unroot” your device and manufacturers won’t be able to tell if it’s been rooted.
3. As usual, you do this at your own risk. Rooting should generally be a very safe process, but you’re on your own here. If you mess something up, you can’t just expect free warranty service to fix it. If you’re worried, do a bit of research first and see if other people report success rooting your device with the tool you’re planning on using.

• ##info-circle## Note:
• The very first thing you will need to do before proceeding with the rooting is unlocking the bootloader of your Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s. The complete guide for unlocking bootloader for Xiaomi devices can be found here.

As we've mentioned above, to install TWRP on your Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s, you must first unlock the bootloader since you will be flashing the custom recovery image(twrp) via fastboot.

After you've followed the instructions and unlocked the bootloader(link above), it is time to install the TWRP. Proceed thus;

• Start by downloading all the file required provided below.
• Next, extract the minimal ADB and fastboot tool and then copy the twrp to the folder. Consider renaming the twrp image file to recovery.
• Now, power-off your device and then press volume down key + power to boot into fastboot mode.
• Connect your device to the computer via USB. ADB drivers should be installed.
• Open command line from the Minimal adb & fastboot folder using SHIFT + Right-click and choosing "Open a new command prompt here".

Now use the following command in CMD
