Xiaomi rooted phones and "Disable Forced Encryption"

esuhl

Have any other Xiaomi phone owners rooted their phone, while still using the stock MIUI ROMs?

In order to root, you need to first install a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP). But MIUI ROMs enforce some kind of encryption that breaks when installing a custom recovery. So you also need to flash some software to disable this encryption.

I followed a guide with a link to Magisk v18, and a (dodgy-looking) file called DFE (DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v18.zip) from a random file-sharing site. (Yeah.) But it worked!

I successfully rooted the phone, but I need to go through the same process to install subsequent ROM updates. I can find legitimate updates to all the software I need (the official ROM, TWRP, and Magisk) EXCEPT for a file/program like DFE that disables encryption.

I found an article that explains what I'm talking about in more detail, and "Lazy Flasher" seems to be a popular alternative to DFE. But I'm a bit confused about which method is best, and where to obtain official updates. :-/

What method do you use to update the stock ROM on your Xiaomi rooted device?
