  4. CM 14.1 has in-built root access, but disabled by default. You can enable it from Developer Options. You can install the Resurrection Remix ROM without ny issue.

  5. Respected sir,

    I have installed the CM 14.1 ROM using TWRP Recovery on my Mi 4i. The software is working fine. I am thinking to install Resurrection Remix ROM on to my device to get a feel of that ROM.

    Then I checked the root of my device using Root Checker App and it shows root is not installed on my device. So I installed King Root but I am unable to get root access to my device. So then I checked TWRP Recovery is present in my device. To my surprise, TWRP Recovery is present in the default recovery.

    So can I install Resurrection Remix ROM into my device using TWRP Recovery without rooting my device again. Or please give me a solution to root my device again. Please reply me at the earliest. Thanking You and Wishing You a Happy and Prosperous Day.

    Yours faithfully
