Just noticed that root doesn't really work on i9505 in MIUI 3.11.29: the ROOT permission monitor is activated, the apps are requesting root access and are granted it, in monitor's logs I can also see that the requests have been granted, the apps show up in the monitored apps list, but in fact the apps are not given root access (i.e. AdBlocker can't update the hosts file, AdAway fails to start stating the SU binary is missing/incompatible, ES File Explorer can't enable the Root Explorer feature, etc.)
I've tried other rooting methods and they work fine, e.g. Chainfire's SuperSU 1.80
