Here is how to root Xiaomi MI 4i on MIUI 6 / MIUI 7 Lollipop update. The best part is, you don’t have to install a custom kernel just to gain root access on your mobile. We will be using a latest release of SuperSU for rooting this mobile. You can now root MIUI6 / MIUI 7 on Xiaomi MI 4i without using PC using the tutorial below. All you need to do is to download some files which I will mention below.

NOTE: This will only work on MIUI Chinese Developer ROM. Make sure you have installed it OR get MIUI 7 Chinese devloper ROM from here .

This Root allows you to explore system apps and even modify them to your specific need. This will help you to get ported features by developers on your phone and even give you the opportunity to modify yourself. Running low on space?
