thanks i'm currently waiting for the bootloader unlock count down
can you give me some instructions to flash TWRP on the phone cause i'm kinda new to this stuff

Use latest magsik manger apk extract your boot.img from your stock firmware then patch boot.img using magsik manger then flash the patched boot.img and first of all unlock your bootloader I recommend you use mi unlock sent request for unlocking your bootloader

Unable to install official TWRP in Redmi 8, Miui 11.0.7. It installed. and then vanished when rebooted. and then boot looped. Had to flash original recovery and boot img to reboot.
Had made sure that I didn't boot to system after flashing TWRP. and boot to recovery instead. It flashed okay. Could use the root after installing Magisk. But on reboot, all was gone. Boot looped.

hi bro how did you unlock bootloader on redmi 8 its on 11.0.6.0

Hey people, I have the same problem installing TWRP. When I reboot after installing twrp.img, the recovery mode show me the recovery from the original ROM stock. I made this process hundred of times and gets the same result, original Redmi recovery erase TWRP recovery.
If someone know any solution I would really appreciate it.

Unable to update to MIUI 9

Hello guys.
I've just tried to update to MIUI 9.0.1.0 NDDMIEI from MIUI 8.5.9.0 NDDMIED on device Xiaomi Mi Max 2 but it failed.
I have an unlocked bootloader and SuperSu installed, but the recovery is Mi Stock Recovery. :cyclops:
I had directly booted TWRP Recovery without flashing using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
to flash SuperSu on device. :good:
Need support with this issue. I don't want to flash whole ROM every time I recieve an update.

i successfully flashed to miui v9(V9.0.1.0.NDDMIEI) over miui v8(V8.5.8.0.NDDMIED) without data wipe. all my data were intact
Keep a backup just in case
make sure you downloaded recovery flashable full rom package ~1.38GB (not the 500mb OTA update )
donot wipe data/cache/dalvik
flash via TWRP recovery
just flashing rom wont boot due to dm-verity. (result will be bootloop)
u need to flash super user or magisk (or lazy flasher "ive not tried though" ) which patches boot.img which makes rom bootable

I'll give it a try. Currently I have data wiped and installed full ROM through fastboot method. So next time, for sure I'll give it a shot.
But I have a doubt, where TWRP be able to flash an MIUI ROM. I mean the bootloader unlocked, encrypted system partition and all.
Since you have your device rooted, first install flashify, and backup your stock recovery. Then you can flash twrp recovery and install Miui 9, and root the device again. Last, install flashify again and restore your stock recovery.

Can you give stock recovery from mi max 2? I forgot to back up his original recovery stock and was hit with twrp.

Hello, this happens because official MIUI boot.img verifies if recovery.img is also official/original.
You have 2 options to resolve the boot problem:
1. If you want to keep TWRP then modify boot.img... http://en.miui.com/thread-249666-1-1.html (with R4X image of course)
and flash it from TWRP or fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. If you want original recovery, get "recovery.img" from the exact TGZ image as your MIUI ZIP
and flash it: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

MIUI 10 flashing twrp, root and rom guide required

Hello,
I'm lookig for a guide how to twrp, root and install custom rom, on my Mi5 miui 10 global stable.
I'm not newbe I did a lot of flashing on my previus phones Nexus and others. But this time I feel lost. I sit on miui 10 global stable. When I try to to flash twrp I get reroll to mi recovery every single time. All guides I found in the Internet are dedicated to older android versions. Xiaomitool don't help too.
Can someone point me to the right direction? It is time to change rom on my Mi5 finally to give him boost b4 I buy something new.
Best regards

Your bootloader is unlocked, right?
Then you need reboot to fastboot mode and flash latest official twrp via fastboot.
Like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp.img>
Have you tried it that way?

Bootloader is unlocked.
I did it that way but after twrp is installed I reboot and there is no twrp available. Only mi recovery.
To make it easier...
I would like to:
Flash twrp
Flash magisk and root
Flash firmware (why i need this?) Havoc os asks to flash it but I don't know why.
Flash havock os and gapps
Flash some mods for camera and sound
I don't understeand why twrp can't be flashed and I have no idea what is modified firmware for? Do I need this?
Thanks for your time
Try the the xiaomi eu rom guide .
I think you may need its custom bootloader , not the actual rom.
Than flash the firmware required for your custom rom and reboot directly to recovery again from twrp than rom and gapps , I hope that helps
Hi, i had the same problem, try this:
1. Flash twrp as usual(fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then fastboot reboot)
2. When rebooting, you have to enter at recovery (vol up + power) . Don't allow phone to boot! In TWRP official page, on installation instructions , they say after installation you must enter in recovery to allow TWRP patch recovery rom, because some Roms after boot reinstall original recovery.
3. Now you should have TWRP installed.
If you do
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then do
fastboot boot twrp.img
It's simpler and it will boot to recovery and patch the ROM to be permanently installed.

First,fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then no reboot your phone, just to hold the key combo (vol up + power), and then you can enter the twrp mode once because the recovery will be changed when your phone has rebooted.
But you can use the only once twrp mode to install the zip .
If you just want to use MIUI 10, you will flashboot twrp everytime when you need twrp to do something.
PS: Forgive me pool English.

Alright so, to properly install twrp I noticed, you have to boot twrp through adb by going to fastboot and typing the command "fastboot boot recovery.img(or however you have named the twrp file you downloaded)" Your phone will boot into twrp. After that,you need through there to flash magisk or generally the root you prefer. Once you've done that boot into your phone,download the twrp app and flash twrp through there. If your phone is not booting for some reason you might have installed an incompatible image or something.If the phone doesn't boot at all and you can't enter twrp, boot twrp using the method I said earlier and restore a backup you have made, then do the process I told you by installing the app and flashing it, and then continue trying to install a ROM. Always be sure that twrp is working perfectly before flashing ROMs.

If ok post the Miflash log.
Hi! Easiest way to fix this is to download a recovery rom for mi11t pro, boot into TWRP (you can look for it at this forum, no need to flash just fastboot boot into twrp.img) copy the rom.zip into mi 11t pro and install from TWRP. Hope it helps!

Hi, i know is been months since this. But i have sort of the same problem.
I am new user to android and bought a 11t pro, so when following youtube video instructions to instal the twrp recovery into the phone; after it, when trying to restart it, it automatically takes me to the fastboot screen, doesn't matter the combination, it automatically takes me to the fasboot screen. I can access the twrp menu, but nothing else. What i think it happened is that i used a wrong recovery file.
What recovery file should i be using? or how do i remove the twrp to start over again?
it has android 11, global 12.5.10 for what i remember

when installing the twrp from the link it still leaves me at the fastboot screen, and when trying to enter the twrp menu the touchscreen is disabled.
is there a way to remove the twrp previously installed? or whats the best option here?
