A Word of Caution before flashing Magisk on MIUI 12!

In A/B devices, the custom recovery is installed on boot partition as it lacks a recovery partition. When Magisk is installed, it also resides in the boot partition only.

When Magisk is flashed with the custom recovery, it may bring bootloop or some inconsistent behavior.
To avoid this issue, instead of flashing the recovery you can just boot from the custom recovery on your phone.

How to verify if you have an A/B device?

Enter to ADB shell and execute the below command to know:
adb shell
getprop ro.build.ab_update

If you get the result is “True” then your device is using partitions.

For example Mi A1, Mi A3 use A/B partition

If it does not return anything, then you have an A-only device.
Poco F1 and almost every Xiaomi phone use A-only partition.
