Download a flash-able TWRP v3.2.1-0 .img file. This file is required if you want to install Team Win Recovery Project on Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime. The phone is also called Redmi Y1 (codename Ugg). Featuring Qualcomm MSM8940 chipset with Snapdragon 435 Cortex A53 Octa-core CPUs, the phone is quite popular due to its specs per price ratio.
Team Win Recovery is very popular among Mi fans around the world due to its key features. Replacing the stock one with this build allows you to flash either SuperSU or Magisk and gain root access easily.
Please also remember that flashing custom recovery needs a fully unlocked bootloader which you can obtain official permission from Xiaomi website. Additionally, you will also need to flash DM No Verity tweak to avoid bootloop. Here’s a list of some useful readings:
