Redmi 4X: TWRP, LineageOS, Gapps (Cannot update ROM) (nightly) *error*

Hi everyone,
I'm new here though but am a Xiaomi user from the beggining of Xiaomi into devices with Redmi Note 3G Enhanced.
Currently, I own a Redmi 4X and I would like your expert lights please. I've flashed the latest twrp from twrp.me for my santoni device. Then flashed the latest build from LineageOS Official source + Gapps before booting up for first time. Everything was working perfectly until I decided to flash the latest update of LineageOS as I've seen in my updater it was released. So, I downloaded it through the updater and tried to flash it...
I came up with this "Failed to unmount /system (device or resource busy)" after that re-booted to LineageOS and everything was messed up with Google Services & Apps etc. Then I went back to twrp recovery and tried to flash again the rom but I was still getting that message so I understood something am doing wrong. Also santoni has dm-verity enabled which I know something about but just an info. I really wanna stick with LineageOS on my Redmi 4X forever but I'm afraid to flash it again. I've flashed MIUI 10 Beta by fastboot but now I wanna go back to LineageOS forever (addicted).
My only problem is: After successfuly flashing LineageOS and Gapps, I cannot apply (flash) updates to update the ROM to the latest nightly build due to this error above.
Kind regards,
peryson

Try with different recovery. For example with this

Instead of trying an unofficial recovery, do I have an option to unmount system manually before flashing through Official TWRP?

You can download latest Lineage OS build and dirty flash it (without any wipes) (so you can unmout system parition). And I don't see any issue in using unoffical twrp.

I also have experienced same error once during upgrade "failed to unmount /system"
Eventually I wiped everything and did clean flash from scratch. This is really annoying issue and demonstrates that upgrade system is not 100% reliable for some reason.
I'm not sure however is it Lineage or twrp issue.

[TOOL/UTILITY][TWRP][3.3][RECOVERY] TWRP 3.3.1-0 TeamWin Recovery Project 9/2

[RECOVERY] TWRP 3.3.1-0 - TeamWin Recovery Project
Hello, I am releasing an official version of TWRP I have been working on for the last 6 weeks. If you download the patched fastboot image as described in the device installation page, you can use TWRP to repack the non-fastboot image for a permanent installation. Currently encryption is supported in the fastboot version and the permanently installed version. Thanks for your patience waiting for official support.
I was kindly given the device from Asus, and will not be blind supporting this device.

All official devices are listed at the top of the page on the Team Win website. Search for the device in the textbox.

Amazing news! I'm expecting to receive my Zenfone 6 30 edition tomorrow, so the timing couldn't be more perfect.

Is it working with LOS 16 encryption?

Yes. I merged in the good work from Peter Cai for wrapped key support. First it will try a non wrapped key. If that fails it will try a wrapped key. I tested both LOS and Omni.

stuck on Trying Decryption for several minutes after fastboot boot twrp-installer-fastboot-3.3.1-0-I01WD.img
I can boot twrp without password and flash persistent version. Maybe it will work then?
Nope. Cannot boot recovery after flashing. Only LOS booting.

Here is my experience:
Lineage for me is really broken, after a while if I reboot my phone I eventually get stuck in a bootloop, I always customise many settings and haven't narrowed done what the issue is. I was hoping this official TWRP would help with this (constantly reinstalling everything was getting really annoying) but it didn't seem to change much.
Flashing the first IMG (the second download) is the IMG file that works otherwise I bootloop. The flash seems to not in into as many mounting errors as the previous mod and flashing lineageos works but only through ADB sideload or you will again bootloop. This is an improvement because before side loading was not possible.
After flashing the twrp installer zip thus successfully passes but never installs correctly and every time I went through an install I would be taken to lineageOS recovery. From here side loading twrp doesn't work but side loading magisk and mindthegapps is fine with no errors that would occur before.
Booting lineage for the first time didn't open the factory wipe error screen as well.
TLDR; TWRP doesn't stick on the phone but I haven't had a reboot leading to an eventual bootloop so far. So far a partial success

Are you on the most recent firmware? Did you install the image in the download link through the fastboot installer version of TWRP through the repack recovery ramdisk option of TWRP?

no way to decrypt
Hi,
sorry for bothering, I'm on Stock Rom -189 ( Asus ZF6 8/256 ), I tried fastboot boot twrp-installer-fastboot-3.3.1-0-I01WD.img after entering my personal "PATTERN" the TWRP stucks on " Updating partition details... " ... see the image
I can't extract a "recovery log" for the STATE of the system ( no MTP )

encryption destroyed
Hi,
I tried to boot my Rom but nothing happen ... Stuck on the Zenfone logo .. no OS
Very Sad :crying:
digitalpixel

So i tried to flash the zip:
I am on the latest omnirom 2019-08-31 with unofficial twrp 3.3.1-19 from mauronofrio. I flashed omnirom coming from stock 191 if it matters.
Twrp 3.3.1-19 successfully decrypts.
I flashed twrp-installer-3.3.1-0-I01WD.zip and magisk.zip from twrp 3.3.1-19 > reboot to recovery. Enter decryption pin > trying decryption. Thats where i am stuck after waiting a few minutes.
Forcing a reboot with vol down + power recovery starts again. I can not boot system.
After a few minutes of waiting nothing happens after "using secdis" in the recovery.log.
Rebooting into bootloader and fastbooting twrp 3.3.1-19 and installing it works as does booting to system after.

HELP

Depending on where in data you file is stored you can try "adb pull /path/to/you/file.txt".
Adb works even while twrp is stuck during decryption.
If that does not work try booting into bootloader > fastboot boot twrp3.3.1-19 image from mauronofrio. In twrp 3.3.1-19 flash the twrp3.3.1-19 installer.zip and magisk.zip. Reboot system. That worked for me on omnirom.

Hi isthisadagger,
no way I can't decrypt , I think I LOOSE ALL ...

What happens when you install 3.3.1-19 and
1. Try to boot to system?
2. Boot to recovery and enter you password to decrypt?

I think the custom roms have the ability " I suppose " to restore the Key ... the stock NO
I hope some one didn't mess with "wrappedkey and non-wrappedkey"

What zip are you flashing? I am only supporting flashing the recovery image through the fastboot installer and using TWRP's repacking tools.

TWRP only updates the key in memory and it shouldn't overwrite the local data key. If it's unable to decrypt normally, it will attempt to use a wrapped key in memory.

Well well this all went well, most of my time went in to trying to flash the wrong TWRP for XZ but after that, it worked in my second attempt :good:
After flashing the SW binaries and format data I got this message again in TWRP : Failed to mount ´/oem in red letters. But I just continued flashing the ROM in TWRP and it worked like a charm.

@Sjll:
It seems that this build doesn't support ExFat on External SDCards, am I right ?
And:
What TWRP-Version do you recommend ? The lastest offical 3.3.1-0 doesn't mount /data, so every time I enter TWRP I have to format data ...

Thanks for this. I followed the instructions and it worked.
I forgot that my SDcard was encrypted and lost my photos but hey ho.
@Sjll is there a git repository for this ROM ?

It works for me on the F8331 device.

XZs build (keyaki)?
By chance is there a choice for 15.1 for Keyaki? It is stated to choose Kagura, are there other choices for the XZ variants? Would like to update to 8.1, 9, or 10 binaries and read the build instructions from source for Lineage but am wondering if all I need are the kernel binaries to complie Lineage (15.1, 16, 17, 17.1) for the XZS. There is practically nothing for the XZS and it would be helpful to know how to provide other roms for it as well. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know what the latest Android security update supported is on this ROM?

Some bugs
Hello, I've been using as my daily for a week now and I've noticed some bugs
1) the camera works but it's bad not even close to stock. The picture is dark and dim.
2) sometimes the wifi doesn't open or close no matter how much you try only restarting the phone helps.
3)sometimes the phone doesn't charge even when it's showing charging.
I hope these bugs can be solved asap because I love this rom its stable, smooth and fast with good battery life. Thanks.

Hey !

You can place it in either of the two, as long as you can access the storage where you placed them from the recovery

Is there any bugs when you install Havoc with TWRP ? 'cuz i'm a little bit experimented with TWRP but i'm shy with GSI...
Thanks for the answer

In my particular case it was not necessary to flash vbmmeta as I comment in the OP I come from Miui12.eu, but it is necessary to avoid problems whatever the ROM you have before installing Havoc is to have the latest version of TWRP and have configured a lock pattern security in ROM access and in the flashing process I didn´t have problems

Hey!
I was on the stock ROM when i started to flash HavocOs.
I unbricked my phone with the MIUnlockTool V2 and my phone's still alive.
I booted on TWRP with fastboot boot TWRP.img 'cuz I can't boot to TWRP with volume up and power...
How can I flash HavocOs in the good way ?
I have Redmi 8 3/32 like you...

Ok the first thing is that you have the bootloader unlocked, if it is that way regardless of the stock version of the rom you have when installing twrp you must install magisk to ensure that the Recovery remains fixed in this link is a tutorial on how to install it, that tutorial was made by me and approved by Xiaomi https://c.mi.com/thread-2850424-1-0.html ,
install the latest version of TWRP and as it says in the tutorial then flash magisk, once you have everything ready install miui 12.eu do not do many settings except create a blocking pattern when starting the rom this is used by TWRP to be able to decrypt the internal memory
All ready do the steps as indicated in this tutorial (If you come from Miui12 .EU or any other GSI Rom go to step 4)
If for some reason you have a problem, use MI flashtool to return to the stock rom, but make sure to use the snapdragon method, select MIflash and when opening the screen at the bottom select clean all, this will prevent you from blocking the bootloader and you can start again without problems (note when selecting clean all at the end it will give you an error for not being able to block the bootloader and the device will restart, do not worry it will restart normally without problems)

Hey!
I thought about something this afternoon : if I flash HavocOS with adb and fastboot, we also haven't any problems with TWRP installation ! But the problem is that I haven't found any wiki to do that and i won't transform my phone to a beta tester....
Thanks a lot for your help but I think i will wait until a custom rom of LineageOs or HavocOs...

Hi . I am currently running havoc is 3.12 on my device I tried multiple times to flash this ROM without any success. Is not installing open gapps a problem ? Anyways when I flash this rom without flashing the certification patch I get a no os installed warning before rebooting from orange fox recovery but when I flash the certification I no longer get this message. Etherway I am getting stuck on a bootloop . How can I solve this issue? I did all the steps correctly wiping the correct partitions and formating data . Edit I wiped cache and dalvik after the bootloop without any success .

Hey !
I had the same bug before installing the v3.12 version.
I think it goes from the Permissiver v5. I think we should flash it to have the Havoc v4.
I'll test later if I have the time to do this and I'll inform you about the possibilities.
Hope I can help.

Thanks for replying and trying to help but last night I managed to get havoc 4.1 is installed by flashing lineage first (using another guide from this category). I will try again to get havoc 4.1 working without flashing lineage as soon as posible because I am curious .

Finally managed to flash Magisk on Havoc 4.1 with the help of youtuberking (telegram and YouTube).
How: just flash Magisk path fix before magisk and it's good to go.

Question Error in 'failed to check sparse crc')

Hi all
I got a Global version of Note 10 Pro.
I tried to flash a custom rom with custom recovery. I installed Teamwin Recovery and then flashed Arrow OS but it didnt boot. I waited for 30 mins.
Then I wiped everything from Teamwin recovery, copied the rom over again and flashed but now it is showing some mount issue.
I then downloaded the official rom from Xiaomi and tried to flash that from Fastboot but getting Error in 'failed to check sparse crc')
Any idea how to fix this issue?
thanks

you find a way around this?

Did you've tried
Twrp format data with yes
Flash ROM
Again Twrp format data with yes
Reboot with ignoring shown failures.. Wait until system booted

for future reference, I ended up having to download an older version of the firmware. even redownloading the copy of the MIUI firmware I was trying ( in case of corruption or something) didn't fix the issue
I had to download the previous version of MIUI (to the one I was trying to flash) and then I could update to the latest via the built-in OTA updater
no idea what is causing the check sparse error (both command line and miflashtool were giving)
