Tutorial - Rooting Mi 5 without wiping data

Dear All,

WARNING: I'm no developer, just a regular user. SO PLEASE ONLY TRY THE BELOW PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm not responsible if you end up with a device that doesn't work the way it is originally meant to.

Recently I decided to root my Mi 5 running Global Dev ROM (Version: 6.5.30 (MIUI7)).
Read a few threads.
Mainly (link A): http://ift.tt/1YJe6T0
Then I posted a Q&A thread: http://ift.tt/2aslOyb ... 0&page=1#pid5799160

I noticed that according to link A, we needed to wipe data to root successfully.

Here's what I did:
1. Unlock BootLoader via Xiaomi Official Method. - Important Step
2. Temporarily flash TWRP (link mentioned in link A) [fastboot boot *recoveryname*.img].
3. Selecetd English as the language.
4. Left the System partition unmodified when promted (Keep Read Only).
5. Mounted System + Cache.
6. Enabled ADB sideload.
7. SIdeloaded the superSU file (link mentioned in link A).
8. Rebooted device.
9. SuperSU was installed.
10. To check this I tried out SElinuxmodechanger + V4A (use apps with Root access at your own risk and evaluation of safe / unsafe nature of the app/apps).




Conclusion: I was able to root my Mi 5 (Global Dev Rom) without permanent flashing of TWRP + without modification to system partition (Keep Read Only)) + without wiping data in TWRP before installing SuperSU.
