Hi All,
You guys must be thinking why i'm sharing this recovery when we already have Official TWRP Recovery
actually this Recovery is Lil bit modified (One of my friend Found it somewhere)
via this Recovery you guys will able to Flash any MIUI Rom without Modifying/Patching Boot.img (I tested it my self)(i flashed miui global stable 7.2.3 and global dev 6.4.28)no patched boot.img required
Note:- I'm Not responsible for any kind Of damage caused to your device
Orignal Link => https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6zD6Bewl4FmQVJGVVBOdzRmT2M/view
Password to the zip :- www.cofface.com
Instructions to flash
download the zip file (link provided)
extract The TWRP recovery.img (password given)
and flash it via flashify or Fastboot
Fastboot Command "Fastboot flash recovery "image-name.img"
yoo done
BUG:- Its not a major bug its not even a bug(i'm just considering it as a bug) but kinda annoying once you flash this recovery this recovery will change your device name from KENZO to CM_KENZO(this not gonna affect anything) but if you will try flash AOSP v4 or anyother AOSP build that verifies the Product name will give some errors
that "This build is for kenzo devices not for Cm_kenzo device"
Solution :- Open the zip in winrar and edit the updater script just change the Kenzo word with CM_Kenzo and it will work (alot of work to do right)
Another solution (this one is better i guess)
when ever you wanna flash MIUi official firmware flash this reocvery via Flashify.
flash the miui rom...
boot it up again flash the official TWRP recovery(so that you will able to flash other roms)
WARNING:- Dont flash miui rom via official TWRP recovery it will not boot untill you flash the Modify boot.img
Update
Bug fixed ===> "This build is for kenzo devices not for Cm_kenzo device"==>No Error now

Seems to work, but TWRP is in Chinese?
I used Cofface's abd + fastboot files and replaced cofface_recovery_twrp_kenzo.img with the fixed TWRP.img provided by Rajdip. I get some prompt from what I can tell, but since everything is in Chinese I don't know what to click. I'll try to find a solution and post it here.
Update (Solved):
I still don't know what the first screen message was about, but you can get into the normal TWRP menu by swiping the slider to the right. After that click the second from the bottom button on the right to get into settings. Press the globe-symbol on the upper tab bar. From there you can choose the language you want TWRP to be in.
Update #2:
Works like a charm for me. Just installed SuperSU as well. I'm on Redmi Note 3 SnapDragon with Global Developer ROM 6.4.14 (MIUI7), officially unlocked bootloader. Thank you very much for posting OP!

The first prompt that appears is whether you would like to make TWRP modify system files or keep it read only. In simple words, if you swiping to the right Mi recovery wont replace TWRP when MIUI roms are flashed. If anyone didnt swipe right on the first prompt, just goto mount and unselect the read-only option.

Nice to know. TWRP asked the same thing (again apparently) when I rebooted from menu to system. It also provided the option to install SuperSU (or rather install the SuperSU Installer - whatever that was worth). I'm confirmed rooted now and recovery is still TWRP after many reboots. :good:
But is 3.0.0.0
I don't understand that

No it will not fix that.... actually the thing Is When we unlock Bootloader with Official method it will not get relock while flashing any rom(via recovery)(miflash can still do that) in unofficial Method we replaces the emmc file with the modified one(and when we flash any official rom this file get replaced as this one is modified and (update. Zip/miuirom.zip) does not verify that emmc and relocks the boot loader....
What This recovery does is...
Miui roms inculde some recovery verification On The first boot
Which means it will replace twrp with the stock miui recovery which will cause bootloop...
For this we need to flash the patched/modified boot.img
But This recovery is Lil modified (it auto patches the boot.img and and our recovery does not get replaced and yoo thats how this recovery successfully flashes miui without a patched boot.img

Hi,
I patched the TWRP 3.0 recovery from faust93 to include important partitions
that make switching between different versions of Android/Ubuntu very simple.
All partitions are properly added to the fstab, but out of fear that some of
you will brick your device i disabled most of them.
Next version will contain a backup of all unique partitions, but i will have
to test this thoroughly.
Steps to install:
1. Download the zip file from attachments below
2. Unpack the zip file
3. Check checksum with md5sum -c *.md5
4. Put phone into fastboot mode (boot device with [vol-] and [power] button)
5. Flash recovery with:
# fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86_patched_st0rm77.img
# fastboot reboot
then boot the device with [vol+] and [power] button, to enter recovery
[Requested by @p82maarj]
Already on an older TWRP version ?
- Flash "update_TWRP_3.0_m86_patched_st0rm77.zip" from TWRP
or
- Unpack the zip and flash the recovery manually in TWRP by selecting "install image"
Enjoy
Warning:
** If you flash an official update.zip from Flyme, remove bootloader, ldfw & recovery from ZIP**
** Otherwise you'll find yourself with a locked bootloader **
Hi @st0rm77
Thanks for your contrubution!
It will be good if you create a flashable zip of your new recovery. It can be flashed directly from the stock recovery or from the other twrp recovery without entering in fastboot.
Furthermore to have a flashable zip is usefull to flash a new rom update. For updating the new rom version I enter in TWRP, flash rom zip, flash unlocked bootloader zip and flash TWRP zip.
I attach the other flashable TWRP zip you can based on (only replace recovery.img by your recovery.img).
Hi @p82maarj,
Thanks, as per your request, i added an update_TWRP_3.0_m86_patched_st0rm77.zip . This is directly flashable from an older TWRP.
I added some extra verification so people dont end up with a corrupt recovery.
Enjoy
(in order not to confuse people to much, can you remove your download)
Personally I like android as OS, I don't wish to try Ubuntu, in my case it's useful to update my "old" TWRP by Faust93 with this one ?

Yeah, you get some extra abilities:
- Backup of Boot Logo
- Backup of Device Tree
Now you can backup/restore in TWRP without manually flashing dtb (device tree) in order to switch between Flyme, AICP, ResurrectionRemix or Ubuntu.
Thanks for everything you've been releasing, great work!

Sorry for the stupid question but it's just to be sure. I should remove the file named "bootloader" or the one named "boot.img"? Or both of them?
Thank you very much!
Another little question... What's the difference from 2 ZIP files ? Older one and updated ZIP ?

I know the answer to this one!
The first zip contains the img file that you can flash using fastboot.
The second (update) zip is the one you need if you already have (an older) TWRP and you wish to update to this version (use it from inside TWRP).

boot.img is your boot partition, you need this one :good: (NEEDED)
bootloader is the locked bootloader from meizu, avoid this one as the plague (AVOID)

Just to be sure I understood :
Going from Flyme to CM :
-Backup Flyme (system+data+dtd)
-Flash CM archive
Going back to Flyme
-(optional) Backup CM (system+data+dtd)
-Restore Flyme (system+data+dtd)
Is there is a quikier way ?

Did you performed factory reset and flashed ROM & decrypt.zip
The TWRP survives the flash and Magisk can be flashed to Root the ROM but after above two files are flashed.
Well I successfully flashed ROM after complete factory reset with internal memory tooo ......
But some how TWRP got replaced with factory default (the one with root checker) with bootloader unlocked screen

No! you cant flash a full nougat rom with fastboot.
Bootloader cant be downgraded!
for hardbricked phones you have first to boot it using the sdcard img.
then when you get bootloader working without sdcard, can use this tutorial

1. Oreo Battery drains considerably faster than 7.1. (But charges faster too)
2. Fingerprint unlocks slower than 7.1
3. Lags slightly when doing intensive tasks.
Now we need a maintainer for (a) Nougat rom(s)..

LOS14.1 has been updated:
NEW BUILD: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...63190603848665
Change log: November 18 Security Update
NOTE: Like so many other users, I too updated my device with OREO and stuck with that. I haven't tried downgrading it because I don't want to end up with a hard-bricked device once again. Point here is the new build is not tested. So please take a TWRP backup before using this build. Don't forget to post me even if works fine.
Thanks,
KS

Fantastic tutorial, vaserbanix. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your feedback, ShattrdChain! :good:
May I know what rom did you use for flashing with this method?
And do you know if bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to downgrade with this guide?
TWRP method doesn't work (bootloop), pls fix or delete.

Its works great.
You can also use fastboot to downgrade!
can the downgrade be done without the bootloader unlocked?
the methods don't work for xt1799-2!
I have a xiaomi mi 9 but it does not pass the logo of home, it stays there, I do not have the bootloader unlocked so I wanted to know another way to flash it
If flashing is no option for you, you might have to send it in for warranty.
Try XiaoMiTool v2
Same problem here; and this tool says fastboot unbrick is not supported yet ... So even though I can flash different twrp builds, it wont get out of reboot to fastboot and no recovery works

Did you've tried this lr team twrp:
http://files.mi-room.ru/files/twrp/cepheus/3.3.1-0601/recovery.img
And after flashing twrp, directly with volume up and power reboot in twrp?
Search for vbmeta.img file for mi 9 and flash it
What worked is cepheus_global_images_9.6.27_20190627.0000.00_9.0_global_d1aa19c208 ; then MANUAL usage of flash_all.bat ; then I was able to boot... I think (and don't take my word for it !!) what this is, is encryption lockout. Most XiaomiFlash offical tools were practically useless for the Mi 9 and only finding that exact build (which I figured out wasn't an upgrade like the others with no flash_all.bat, actually ran and it flashed stock and booted me to pincode decryption. After than I was able to use twrp-3.3.1-35-cepheus.img, and get TWRP ... granted it wiped everything. But I booting twrp-3.3.1-35-cepheus also asked for my decrypt key. I think the other TWRP's that don't ask for this while I am encrypted actually corrupted this data... (again maybe i'm wrong) but all in all ... I had a couple hours of slowly building up stress.. cause every recovery I flashed rebooted direct to fastboot. And i'm still not sure why..
Everyone needs to make sure that you can see your full file directory tree before utilizing TWRP commands as if the TWRP install doesn't detect decryption it doesn't discriminate and just overwright and corrupts files... THIS IS WHAT IT SEEMS AT LEAST ...
ALSO big word of warning Global users have to play it safe as it seems our variants is not the one the devs are releasing for ATM. and most things you attempt to flash will cause problems. (AGAIN just my 2 cents not to be taken as fact.) Just a warning... that is it...

I compiled TWRP for my own Redmi 8 (olive) and thought I would share. Based on the devicetree for the Redmi 8a (olivelite) by milankragujevic.
I have the global variant with a Tianma display. I can't test if it works on any other variant, use with precaution.
I used it successfully to flash the xiaomi.eu rom and magisk.
You can find the device tree on my GitHub: here
And the image in the release section: here
Installation:
Unlock Bootloader if not already done (Official Tool)
Boot in to fastboot (Powerbutton + volume down)
Run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (for Windows use Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Boot in to recovery (Powerbutton + volume up)
If something breaks you can use MiFlash and the stock fastboot rom to go back to reset your phone (phone will also be locked again) or use fastboot to flash the stock recovery (can also be found in the stock fastboot rom).
You can download the fastboot rom here.

Go in to the phone app and dial *#*#6484#*#*. Under 1 and then LCD you can then find the manufacturer.
I don't know if it actually matters. I read here that it affects devices when using the Redmi 8a recovery. Since I forked the code and have a Tianma display I can't really look in to the problem.
Have you got MTP working while at TWRP? I can't seem to get it right, Windows don't see my phone (adb and fastboot are working). While using adb-sideload I've got error that my mi-globe.zip rom cannot be installed through that method
------ EDIT -----
So, I flashed fastboot stock ROM and recovery. Then flashed this recovery. Booted into stock ROM, copied my custom ROM, rebooted into recovery and still couldn't install - after half of the installation process TWRP shouted that it couldn't mount /system partition. How did you get it to work? And thanks for work!

I recompiled TWRP with MTP enabled and it seems to show up as a device but i can't access data from the device.
I installed the image via a sd-card, but usb-otg or adb push should also work.

Okay I changed the default mounting point of the system partition. Try again with the new image.

I do have a Tianma display. Problem isn't with controls but with the TWRP itself in my case.
Just tried new image, same problem "Checking /system. /system is not mounted! Trying to mount /system RW. /system cannot be mounted. [...] Installation will be aborted."
I am using Mi-Globe right now, gonna try with "clean" Xiaomi.eu.
And still can't access storage through Windows Explorer (but device itself is seen, tested with adb).
So Xiaomi.eu installed kinda. No errors and stuff but won't boot up. After one try it just goes back into TWRP. Using V11.0.3.0 for HM8 (as described by Xiaomi.eu)
luckily, mine has TIANMA display, I'll try while my rm8 is unlocked, thanks bro
@seprode, Reading your post and seen your work, I decided and today I ordered a Redmi 8 (olive) for my self , too.
I am very thankful that there are people like you, pioneers, who open the path, for all of us to follow.
Thank you again for what you are doing for us.
I hope, soon enough, some developer will pay attention to our new phone and , maybe , we will be also able to see new Android (Q ?) roms for it.
I am active involving so far in Samsung NOTE 2(exynos) and Note 4 (snapdragon) and also Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus community
I will do my best and see, if any of these groups will be able , in the future, to do something for our little brother here.
But the path you have open, is the very important first step to it.
KUDOS
:good::good:
@pulka103 You want to try again? I made some changes and got MTP working.

Thank for your work !
What about vbmeta as mentioned at milankragujevic ?
And do we need something against dm_verity ?
Edit:
I did the described "simple" way and it works !!!
No need to flash anything else !!!
Great job, Thanks again :good:

I have a problem and maybe some of you can help me. I flashed last recovery.img. After flashing phone reboot itself and boot to system. Next, perform reboot to recovery and it boot to mi-recovery, not twrp. Then I cant boot to system. I have to flash again and then it boot to system.
===EDIT====
Ok, I managed this. After "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" you have to type "fastboot reboot"
Great Great work I hope you continue updating. Thank you ?
