Rooting Mi Box

by Duplicity-

Hi guys,

Me being stupid upgraded to Oreo without realizing the 1028 (i think) build included su access. Firstly is it possible to downgrade? I searched a bit and didn't really turn up an answer. Second question is that if I install the adaway hosts file under root - if I upgraded android later down the line would the hosts file be overwritten?

Thanks for any help

Impossible to downgrade for now.

EDIT: about the hosts, unless xiaomi is doing some crazy shit, it should be indeed reverted to default state after updating.

Firstly, is it possible to downgrade?

Not that I've heard of as of yet.

would the host-files be overwritten?

Yes, everything would be, sans for your app settings being reinstalled, tho it would still break root.

Personally, I use Blokada & have zer0 issues with ads on ATV & none of the root headaches of back in the day.

Yea I was using the awesome Sixaxis app for PS3/PS4 support on that build. Oh well running Oreo now and love it so c'est la vie.
