[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 2.8.1.0 for S4 Mini / I9195

Hello
This is TWRP v 2.8.1.0 for the S4 Mini. It works for the I9195 - I do not know if it works for similar devices.
The problem was that TWRP after version 2.7.1.0 did not boot up - the phone tried to enter recovery mode but eventually booted into android.
This is because of commit https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/8471/ which does not seem to work nice with the S4 Mini.
DISCLAIMER : You apply this recovery at your own risk - if something breaks or bricks I am not responsible
IMPORTANT NOTE :
a) The attached file is NOT a flashable ZIP and I will not provide one. You have to unpack the attached file and use heimdall or dd. If someone wants to provide a flashable zip - I am fine with that.
b) There is no F2FS support.
c) I do not know if there are still problems with the recovery sometimes not booting up - I tried it a couple of times and it worked every time. Tell us if you experience booting problems.
d) I am no coder - so I cannot help with things like encryption, luks or similar wishes.
How to install:
a) Boot your phone to download mode
b) Connect phone to PC
c) Get root on your PC
d) Unzip attached ZIP file
e) Check md5sum
f) heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --no-reboot (dd should work as well - take care of the right partition)
Thanks goes to:

Additional information:
If you want to build this by yourself from sources open file twrp-functions.cpp and search for line:
Code:
int TWFunc::Set_Brightness(std::string brightness_value)
You can change it like that:
Code:
int TWFunc::Set_Brightness(std::string brightness_value)
{
return 0;
std::string brightness_file = DataManager::GetStrValue("tw_brightness_file");;
This should fix the problem. According to one of the developers there should also be a flag for specifying a brightness file that one can probably set to /nobrightness.

It works great on my I9195 !
From your recovery, i created the Odin version and flashed it.
Thank you very much.
I attach the Odin version of your recovery (Instructions: unzip the .zip file, and flash the .tar.md5 file with Odin 3.09 into AP field)

Recovery flashable ZIP version of TWRP 2.8.1.0 attached.

Mounting both (Internal and External) doesnt work

What do you mean? Mounting works for me - I can mount System and Micro SDCard and I can access the files there with the TWRP File Manager. So no problem here. Works also with adb - I got access to the full file system. Might be a problem with your phone/setup.

I confirm this.
I tried to mount and unmount System, Data and micro Sdcard... all ok.

Will it work with f4k kernel ?

lars85destroyer: both CM 12 and f4k work fine with or. As the recovery used isn't kernel dependent anyway, it's not an issue.

Works great so far, noticed only one (minor) issue:
I need to use encryption for my phone and for its backups as well (I'm a sysadmin and my phone is fully equipped to access my datacenter). When using keyboard to type encryption/decryption passwords, somethimes I hit one key and completely another key gets pressed, can't be due to fat fingers because wrong key that gets pressed is usually very far from the original one. This was very iritating sometimes since I needed to type passwords for 3-4 times in a row for them to work. Figured out how to prevent this, I look at whole keyboard carefully on every keystroke and I'm usually able to see when it gets buggy and hits wrong key (keystroke animation is trigerred), but this isn't very fast or comfortable...
I think I had the same problem with early versions of TWRP 2.7 posted here but it has been resolved in newer ones. Otherwise, works as a charm, if someone added full F2FS support it would be totally perfect
PS If my memory serves me well, fix was build.prop related.

[NEW] CTR with CWM graphics section
Well, since CWM support ended with cm-11.0, and no one resurrected it, I've decided to give my contributo to the best recovery (in my opinion) which written the begin of android customization, for flashing zip roms, take nandroid backups... So, as I said, since no one resurrected it, I've decided to modify ctr sources, which are based on CWM recovery and which are compilable in cm-12.1 and cm-13.0, for creating a recovery which has, CTR features, but which really like the old CWM.
-So, what does this version offer?
~If you want to know what does it include, please see read this (green highlighted text)
NOTE: If you want to compile with cwm recovery you need my fork which you can find here:
https://github.com/DeadSquirrel01/carliv_touch_recovery_new only cm-12.1 branch for the moment
Then you need to add in BoardConfig.mk (in the device tree) the following flag:
USE_CWM_GRAPHICS := true
otherwise it will compile standard CTR
Flashing instuctions:
Look at "HOW TO FLASH" section
Download Link: Same as CTR recovery link, but you have to download the ones wich have a name which begins with "[CWM]"
OTHER NOTE: Since I've compiled CTR with CWM graphich with an half crapped cm-12.1 source tree, and adb doesn't work (except in sideload), I couldn't take screenshot, so, I've uploaded some photos, instead, which are taken with my ~4 years ago Samsung Galaxy Pocket, so don't flame me for bad quality , and since I tried to upload in attachments, but it doen't show the photo when clicking on the attachment, I've upload a zip with 4 screenshots
HERE (Google Drive Link)

Changelog
03/09/2016 (update N2):
_ Add menu color change: you can now change highligh+text color to 3 different colors: blue (default), green or orange.
See my github commit for info, I wrote some awesome comments
06/10/2017 (Update N3):
_Save menu color setting to /sdcard/clockworkmod/cwm_config, so that it's not lost on reboot, resulting a recovery which has always the blue color, even if the user has chosen orange or green.

Thanks for this contribution, try it just have time. For now, I walk with your version of TWRP working well. This CTR Recovery is compatible for install ROMs Marshmallow (Base Stock and CM13 Based)? Cheers.

Thank you DeadSquirrel01 it works perfectly on my A500G running stock marshmallow 6.0.1. Great work

Nice Recovery.. Succesfully rooted my stock 6.0.1 by flashing supersu (you can flash this file to root on any android which have custom recoveries) on this recovery. It is like stock recovery but with a lot of features.

@DeadSquirrel01 works well on A500F (Duos). Also i tried to get stuck in recovery mode with no succes . So i can say it`s better than twrp. I was waiting for this moment since i got the phone . Many many thanks! Cheers!
LE: Wait a second... So how this recovery has almost 3 months and isn`t that known?
LE2: Some feedback - mount usb storage doesn`t do anything (yes i have sdcard). Also no adb support. So is kinda impossible to push files into phone while it`s in recovery...

Personally i`m more with CWM.. Simple and yet so complex. TWRP is a bit more polished on the UI side, but that bug that keeps me in the recovery drives me crazy [emoji35] . This CTR recovery it`s able to reset the flag and push the device out of recovery... So it`s better IMO.
Anyway i read here and there that Nougat based roms can be flashed in CWM 6.0.5.x so i`ll try to port Philz latest recovery on our device, since i had it for years on my retired devices. Thanks for all your work and for the source!
LE: Sideload doesn`t work since adb isn`t enabled on the recovery..

Thanks... It`s on my todo list but i don`t have enough time to do anything now. About the adb - shouldn`t be same thing? What`s the difference between adb in linux and windows? Wait to switch linux to test. Could also be something specific to my device since you made the recovery for FU and i have F.. Cheers!
So i rebooted in linux and here`s the output:
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
[email protected] ~ $ adb shell
error: insufficient permissions for device
And when tryin` to Mount USB Mass storage this is the output:
Code:
Error mounting /dev/sr1 at /media/hades/671D-12F5: Command-line `mount -t "vfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,utf8=1,showexec,flush" "/dev/sr1" "/media/hades/671D-12F5"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr1: can't read superblock
I have 32gb class 10 sdcard formatted as fat32.. And from what i see it tries to mount as vfat, this for sure is from the fstab..
Any ideas?

Since it's a recovery it works with any a500xx variant (same chipset ) and also it's the same thing with roms for example on my pac-rom rom noone said it doesn't boot on a500xx. Regarding adb, bad drivers i think

I don't know how much i can thank you, when i use TWRP my phone won't boot into the system but it works perfectly with this recovery

What I like in it is while I am in this recovery and my phone is charging, and I select reboot, it boot to the system unlike other recovery.
I had installled custom ROMs, Flashed kernel image, and used ADB sideload so far

I know this post is old but I am having some troubles with my j7 prime g610m. I think the solution is about this "No-verity". Let me explain : I have installed Oreo ROM, Binary 7 some days ago. Then, installed TWRP but this one never shows my internal storage files. It shows "0mb" when I select storage button. I have already done the "format data", change file system, which I've seen on others websites and tutorials. But reading this post I've found something new for me. This file "no-verity" is the solution? I have to flash it, right? To solve this problem... My question is : HOW DO I FLASH IT if my TWRP shows nothing of my files. I read you flashed it via ADB Sideload. Could you please teach me how to it? I'll thank you so much! :fingers-crossed:

Sorry for delay, it's really a very old post that I don't remember exactly the issue with TWRP.
Install this universal ADB drivers onto your Windows PC https://adb.clockworkmod.com/ then connect your device power on to the PC, and see if it's properly recogniced typing
Code:
adb devices
if yes then you can continue, type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
to reboot to TWRP, then place the zip that you want to flash onto your device either DM verity or Magisk in the same folder where ADB was installed, usually on your main drive (this just to avoid paths input) go to Advanced settings in TWRP and search for ADB Sideload feature, swipe from your device to start it and in your ADB/fastboot terminal type:
Code:
adb sideload name-of-your-file.zip
to sideload it to your device and it's all. (replace name-of-your-file.zip with the name of the file that you'll go to flash keeping the .zip extension)

[ROM][SM-T500] Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020) - LineageOS 18.1

Update: March 24 2022: This ROM has been retired and a new one based on LOS 19.1 (and TWRP based on Android 11) have taken its place. New thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...4-2020-lineageos-19-1-and-twrp-3-6-1.4421365/
---
Update 9:46am EST July 15 2021: new builds of TWRP and LineageOS with TWRP touch fixed and LOS w/ space for Gapps is now live.
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I have successfully ported TWRP and Lineage OS 18.1 to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020), aka SM-T500. This is my first time porting TWRP or LOS, so there may be issues unknown about at this time. Thus far, the only known issue is that the touchscreen in TWRP does not work. This can be worked around by using a USB mouse and/or accessing the device via ADB.
Here are the steps to follow:
Update your device to the latest stock ROM (as of this writing) either using the built-in system updater or via Odin. You want the build that ends with "3BUF3".
Unlock device bootloader using instructions from other threads. This will wipe your device.
Boot into download mode and flash "vbmeta_disabled_R.tar" via Odin in the "Userdata" slot to disable verified boot. This will wipe your device again.
Boot device back into download mode and flash TWRP via Odin in the "AP" slot. If you boot up into the stock ROM rather than booting directly back into download mode then go through the initial setup process of the stock ROM and enable developer tools and ensure OEM Unlocking is still enabled (VaultKeeper can possibly undo OEM Unlocking if you get to the ROM but don't go into Developer Tools and view OEM Unlocking is enabled, so make sure to do this).
Boot device into TWRP (recovery mode) and format (not wipe) your data partition. Then reboot back into TWRP.
Push LineageOS (super.new.ext4.img) to device. Ideally push it to an SD card formatted with ExFat or EXT2/3/4 (FAT/FAT16/FAT32/VFAT won't work due to file-size limitations).
Install LineageOS image to "Super" partition. Make sure to select "Install from Image" in order to show .img files in the install selector screen.
(Optional) Push NikGapps Omni to your device and install the zip. Make sure you include a "nikgapps.config" file in your "/tmp" folder that is configured to install to "system" rather than "product" or "default".
Reboot to system. You should now be in LOS with Gapps.
(Optional, but recommended): Install Magisk via TWRP
(Optional, but recommended): Run fix script to fix brightness slider not working and to make Magisk work. If you didn't install Magisk but only want the brightness fix, just enter "n" when prompted in the script. To run the script:
NOTE: Script has .txt file extension to allow hosting on AFH. Remove that so it's just .sh to match the instructions below.
Download and push to device when booted into TWRP
adb push sm-t500_fixes.sh /tmp
Enter an adb shell
adb shell
Change directories and set permissions
cd /tmp
chmod +x /tmp/sm-t500_fixes.sh
Run script
/tmp/sm-t500_fixes.sh
Tips:
If you are not seeing all of your storage space in the OS on the internal flash, boot to TWRP and format data.
Flash TWRP via "AP" slot and flash VBMeta_Disabler via "Userdata" slot in Odin.
Flash LineageOS as an Image, not as a Zip.
For Gapps, use the latest NikGapps for ARM64 and Android 11/R.
For Gapps, make sure you install to the System partition and not Product. To do this you need to slightly modify a nikgapps.config file. Instructions on that can be found on the NikGapps site.

I have successfully ported TWRP and Lineage OS 18.1 to the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020), aka SM-T500. This is my first time porting TWRP or LOS, so there may be issues unknown about at this time. Thus far, the only known issue is that the touchscreen in TWRP does not work. This can be worked around by using a USB mouse and/or accessing the device via ADB.
Here are the rough steps to follow:
Unlock device bootloader using instructions from other threads.
Patch stock ROM (AP) using Magisk, then flash rooted ROM. Will likely need to wipe device after this.
Boot into rooted ROM and ensure "OEM Unlocking" is still enabled in "Developer Tools".
Boot back into download mode and flash "vbmeta_disabled_R.tar" to disable verified boot.
Boot device back into rooted stock ROM to ensure things are still functional (may require a device wipe at this step).
Boot device into download mode and use ODIN to flash TWRP recovery.tar file via "AP" slot.
Boot device into TWRP to verify functionality (hold Vol-Up + Power during boot).
Access TWRP via adb using "adb shell" or with USB mouse (touch functionality currently not working).
Format data partition on device.
Via ADB shell: twrp format data
Via USB mouse: Wipe -> Advanced -> Format Data
Boot device into download mode.
Via ADB shell: twrp reboot download
Via USB mouse: Reboot -> Download
Flash LineageOS tar file via ODIN using the "AP" slot.
If device boots into TWRP after flashing LineageOS, use USB mouse to select: Reboot -> System
Device should boot and stall for ~1m at the Samsung logo screen with red text below, then should go blank and then display LineageOS boot image.

awesome. Will try after work. Also I think you posted in the wrong section.

Which slot to flash the vbmeta?

AP

Thanks,
After flashing the vbmeta it booted into recovery automatically after what looked like a bootloop in progress, so I wiped with factory reset and then it rebooted fine. (still not sure exactly what the vbmeta does I was hoping it would make it so i didnt get that stupid pop up asking me to hit power button to continue booting due to it having the patched os) anyhow booted fine and twrp installed as you stated without touch screen but mouse with otg works fine. (great job so far) On to LOS... I think I should have checked oem lock before flashing LOS as when I installed I get stuck at boot screen that says oem lock is on... must have been from my factory reset... (facepalm)
Nope... Still sticking on boot with the following showing on the screen...
RPMB fuse not set
RPMB Provisioned
Current BInary: Custom (0x30f)
FRP Lock : OFF
OEM Lock : ON (U) {this was off verified before flash}
KG Status : Checking
Waranty Void : 0x1 (0xE02)
Quallcomm Secureboot : Enable
RP SWREV : B3 (1,1,1,3,1,1) k3 s3
secure download : enable
grdm status : normal (d0000501)
did : 041ce2d22dba
this is displayed in the corner on the bootscreen and looks like it belongs on the download screen, anyhow booting into twrp from this point works however factory reset fails with unable to mount key(something and key(something else) i figure i will let it sit a while as I know sometimes it just takes first boot a while to go through however it doesnt seem to be the problem. Have you had a positive install of the LOS? I am wondering if I had maybe gotten a bad copy of the file. When i go to install I get a pass in odin so not quite sure where to go from here other than back to the factory image any help to get this going would be great... I took on this task cause i needed someting to take my mind off the severely crappy week I have had... so looking forward to anything you can share here...

Actually, userdata is the slot I always use. It might work in both though.

Something to mention: there is not enough space on the /system partition to flash Gapps. I created a build that supports it (with a resized /system partition) but I couldn't get it to flash via Odin. The only way I got it to work was by flashing it via TWRP as an img file. I will be posting that soon. Unfortunately that will be the end of development for now as I hard-bricked the device and need to wait for a repair or replacement. Should be back developing in 2 weeks.

Nevermind what I said here.

You may need to get an otg cable for a USB mouse and choose "reboot system" from the gui. Alternatively, look at the /dev/block/by-name/misc partition and try blanking that out with dd. That has worked sometimes.

Also, from an adb shell, try "twrp reboot". Supposedly that should boot to system, but I feel like in testing I got mixed results. According to the TWRP documentation though that should be the answer.

I was able to use adb to run the TWRP Format Data command and it rebooted the tablet and now LOS has booted up. I think I'm good!

Looking forward to see how this develops

Rom is fast and snappy. Brightness control does not work. I haven’t played too much because of work but that’s what I’ve found so far

Can a mod move this to the rom release section?

I've not been able to flash this yet but I know that the latest TWRP versions have a way to fix the system partition to accept gapps. /Wipe/Advanced check system then resize. Sometimes you have to do it more than once if it is a large gapps.

I will look into that, but I'm not optimistic it will work. This device does not separately present the system partition, rather it uses a super partition which contains system, vendor, product, and odm. TWRP only shows me the super partition for working with. I was able to resize the system partition by expanding the Lineage image and file system on my pc to match the original stock system partition, then rebuilt the super image with the other partitions it needs.

General [SHARED] [UNOFFICIAL][A12/A13] TWRP 3.7.0 for Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)

Well, I found this in a Telegram group (which I know I can't share the link) and when performing all possible tests, it works perfectly with my 4/128 spes.
And as we would all say, I am not responsible for any damage and loss of data caused to your device. I only share the information "as is" and the tests performed by myself on my personal device. Everything is at your own risk.
So, let's start with the post:

DO NOT USE WITH ANDROID 11 ROMS!!!
Bugs I've found so far
If you perform a format data, the internal memory will not be recognized in MTP mode of TWRP, which will not be displayed in Windows file explorer
SOLUTION: Boot into the OS at least once so that the internal memory is rebuilt and made available again in MTP mode
Sometimes, when checking the option "Automatically reflash TWRP after installing the ROM", it does nothing when it finishes installing the ROM
SOLUTION: The option seems to be somewhat bugged, so before restarting always reinstall TWRP with the methods that I will explain below
When flashing some ROMs, "Failed to mount *partition*" errors come out when you finish installing
SOLUTION: In some ROMs you may get errors when mounting some partitions, commonly "system_ext", "product" and "vendor".
If the installation process ended without any problem and without showing any error code, that's fine, you can restart without problems, This bug has been in all unofficial TWRP for this device
Steps to install
Make sure you have the bootloader unlocked before you start. There are many guides on the internet for that.
Tutorial for Windows only because zero knowledge for Mac and Linux
From PC:
Download the latest platform-tools from the Android developer site and extract the zip in an easily accessible folder
Download the TWRP image file from here, or from the post attachments
SHA256: 8F25AC88628E6D7BC5E29D8572CF4ACA3499B7D626685654B3C4548323B8D591
Restart your device to fastboot mode
Method 1:
Using this adb command if you have USB debugging active on your device
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Method 2:
- Turn off your device
- After it has completely turned off, press and hold Vol - and the Power button at the same time until the word "FASTBOOT" with orange letters comes out
Method 3:
- Turn off yout device
- Press and hold Vol - button
- Connect the USB cable (previously connected to the PC) to the device and press and hold the button until the word "FASTBOOT" with orange letters comes out
Connect your device to the PC
Open a cmd window in the folder where you extracted the binaries from the zip from step 1
Easy method: Open the folder, and without leaving it, type "cmd" in the address bar of the file explorer and press enter. Command promt will open a window directly in the folder location
Verify that your device is recognized by fastboot using this command
Code:
fastboot devices
If your device has been detected (a serial number followed by the word fastboot), you can continue. Otherwise, check if the drivers are installed correctly, although if you used Mi Unlock and were able to unlock the device correctly on the PC you are using, you should not have problems with that.
- Because this device uses A/B partitions, there is no recovery partition as such, but it is integrated into the "boot" partition. So, first we must boot using the TWRP image.
Type this command in the cmd window, but don't press Enter yet, just type it and leave a space at the end
Code:
fastboot boot_
Don't write the "_". This only indicates the space you should leave at the end.
This is how it should look when you write it:
fastboot boot
Now, drag the image file (twrp-3.7.0.img) to the command window and drop it above the window. This will make you copy your exact location for convenience.
- The result should be this:
Code:
fastboot boot "C:\location\to\your\file\twrp-3.7.0.img"
Quotation marks are only added if the entire location has spaces.
Otherwise, it is displayed without quotation marks.
Press Enter and wait a few seconds. The MI logo will come out, and then the TWRP logo.
DONE! You've started perfectly in TWRP
From the device
NOTE: Only use these steps if you want to have TWRP installed semi-permanently
I said "semi-permanent" because when flashing any ROM, and knowing that the "recovery" is integrated into the "boot" partition, it will be lost after leaving TWRP, so you can follow these steps if you want to avoid loss of TWRP.
If you have easy access to a PC, you can be fine with the boot method. If you don't have easy access to a PC, you can follow these steps.
Method 1
While in the TWRP menu, tap the Advanced button
Now tap on the option "Flash current TWRP"
"Swipe to confirm" and the TWRP installation process will begin
Method 2
While in the TWRP menu, tap the Advanced button
Copy the TWRP image file to the internal memory or SD card from the PC. MTP mode is enabled by default
You can use a USB OTG too
Now tap on the option "Install recovery ramdisk"
Now locate the file and tap on it.
You can use the "Select storage" button to switch between different storages
"Swipe to confirm" and the TWRP installation process will begin
Method 3
While in the TWRP menu, tap the Install button
Copy the TWRP image file to the internal memory or SD card from the PC. MTP mode is enabled by default.
You can use a USB OTG too
Tap on the option "Install image"
Now locate the file and tap on it.
You can use the "Select storage" button to switch between different storage
In the new menu, select "Install recovery ramdisk" and then "Swipe to confirm Flash"
Remember that with the three methods mentioned above you will lose root access (Magisk), so do not forget to flash it again. These steps are also valid to update TWRP if you already had it previously installed.
Conclusion
I did everything I could but I couldn't find the source code for this TWRP, so I'm sorry for that.

This recovery is not compatible with Android 11 ROMs. If you need one for A11 specifically, use version 3.6.1

Thanks for the answer. I'm a bit confused about this (I'm really not an expert, far from that). My previous phone was a antic galaxy S7 that passed awaysome days ago. With that phone (at the end I was on LOS 19 I think) there was no encryption issue, I installed the TWRP on a Oreo android version ans I never had android version compatibility issues (let say that is TWRP version x was compatible with android version y is was also compatible with android version y-1). It seems to be different with my new redmi note 11.
I also had a backup / restore issue (TWRP 3.6.1) : I did enter the TWRP by unlocking with my pin code, did the backup (data, system and also data+system in case of) and I wanted to restore the data backup (I tried to debloat the ROM via adb but I made some mistakes so I decided to restore the backup data + system) and the TWRP showed a warning : "pin must be desactivated before restoring". I tried to ignore the message (I made enough mistakes to be enable to reach the phone's login), the restore operation failed with an "error 255". So I reconfigured the phone, desactivated the login pin, went to TWRP, made the restore (no pin warning) but hen the phone didn't boot correctly (hanged 15 min on the MI startup logo with the three dots on the bottom, but nothing else happens).
I obviously did the backup / restore operation the wrong way. On my S7 it was very easy : I make a full backup, data+system, then I restore it when needed, and no issue at all). So What is the correct way to backup / restore a full system + data with TWRP without having to do a factory reset and then try to restore Titanium backup (which cannot restore correctly all the apps, some need to be resintalled). This solution works, but it is much longer and annoying than restoring a TWRP/nandroid backup.
Thanks !

@NeoSDAP You could add sth like 'only for A12/A13'-roms to the title and add a highlighted note, that You need 3.6.1 for A11 roms to the OP.

Because this device uses a different partition scheme (A/B partitions and, apparently, dynamic partitions) it is not necessary to make nandroid backups, since the partitions change size depending on the ROM you install.
If you want to keep everything in order:
- Keep a copy of TWRP and the zip of the ROM you are using to avoid problems in the future.
- If you want a backup of the info on your phone, I recommend you install Magisk and use Swift Backup. It's in the Play Store.

Nope. You need a PC to install the recovery. Something that can also work is to use a phone rooted with Magisk and the ADB and fastboot module

Thanks a lot for those infos. I understand a bit better now.
By any chance do you know a rom (debloated) that works flawlessly (camera, wifi, NFC, BT, etc) with the redmi note 11 ? I had LOS on my S7, that was fine because it made the device last longer, but it wasn't withoutt issues.

am I doing something wrong
Thank.

According to the rules, English is required.
Boot to a different version from TWRP. The v3.62 will help, then flash the v3.7.0 through TWRP. It happens, probably, because some custom recoveries, doesn't allow this version to boot to.

SubwayChamp said:

Same ****.. I bought my phone in July... then rooted it... then all these useless security patches for me used to unroot my phone - remove TWRP and the root while have magick app installed. One time tried to reroot and ****ed up so had to reflash again the stock rom (I was with the stock rom before) just lost some data (not a big deal... all apps with their non cloud savable data, settings and etc LOL)
So I am still wondering how to avoid this and properly update without losing the root.
Also when Xiaomi will stop releasing **** small updates every month?

There´s not such a thing; "...properly update without losing the root", any major update causes the loss of root, because of boot partition, but, if the update is only about security policies, then you shouldn´t lost root. Rooting this device can always be done, flashing the Magisk zip over the ROM.
Anyway, you can choose, not to update automatically, so, this is up to you, get it or not.

Same ****.. I bought my phone in July... then rooted it... then all these useless security patches for me used to unroot my phone - remove TWRP and the root while have magick app installed. One time tried to reroot and ****ed up so had to reflash again the stock rom (I was with the stock rom before) just lost some data (not a big deal... all apps with their non cloud savable data, settings and etc LOL)
