Unlocking phone

USB Debugging (with security)

This requires root, shell access with su, and a way to edit text files as root. I used Termux and and android root file manager that can edit text files.

First, run the following command (su first, to switch to root):

setprop persist.security.adbinstall 1

If you also want to enable "USB debugging (Security settings)", for granting permissions, simulating UI input, etc. via ADB, run the following command too:

setprop persist.security.adbinput 1

Next, we need to edit the edit the file

/data/data/com.miui.securitycenter/shared_prefs/remote_provider_preferences.xml

so that MIUI actually lets us do these things:

Add the following line to the XML file (with all the other ones, before the closing tag):

<boolean name="security_adb_install_enable" value="true" />
