How to install TWRP recovery on Android smartphones
Installing TWRP on an Android device is the first step towards custom development.
www.xda-developers.com
now boot the phone in recovery (twrp)
DISCLAIMER: I recommend doing a full backup of your device through TWRP, just in case it gets bricked. If it bricks tell me here
the pc should recognize the phone automatically.
move the ROM in the downloads folder.
Go to install in the twrp menu and go to the downloads folder (it is in /sdcard)

[ROOT][HOW TO]Redmi 2 MIUI 7 Easy Root method via recovery!!!

If you dont know you can install the MIUI 7 on your phone by clicking on this link: http://en.miui.com/thread-149081-1-1.html
There is a full description on how to install MIUI 7 on your Redmi 2...
This method can successfully Root your Redmi 2 running MIUI7...
Steps are as follows:
1)Install TWRP recovery(I used TWRP myself so I dont know totally that any other recovery will work or not..you can yourself comment here if it does)
2)Download the attached file into the phone.
3)You can search the Miforum or xda to flash the proper version of the TWRP recovery for Redmi 2.
4)After successfully flashing TWRP go to Recovery using Vol up+power button and then selecting Recovery
5)Inside the recovery go to install and select the path where you have downloaded the attached file.
6)Install the zip(It will take about 1-2 minutes)...CONGRATS...Your device is successfully rooted...!!Enjoy Root access...
**If you are prompted to update the binary update it...Select TWRP/CWM method when prompted...
Sometimes it may happen that you dont get root access with this method...For this you have to factory reset your phone and again reinstall the MIUI7 rom via recovery flashable zip...You can search the MIUI forums for the same...
P.S:The TWRP can be used to install weekly OTA updates as well so no need to care for the Stock recovery even after you flash the TWRP recovery.Although after the OTA update your device will go back to stock Mi recovery but you can reflash twrp using Flashify app if you need it...(Available on the store)
***"I am NOT RESPONSIBLE if doing this Bricks your phone or causes any other type of harm...I am sharing something that I found while experimenting..!!"***
I used MIUI 7 ver.5.8.22 and ver 5.8.28 during this process..!!
If it works please credit me!!Thanks...!!
Good one.
Do you really think you need to write this this partial guide here?
I mean there is lot (on XDA) guide where you can find a complete guide.

Proper way to flash/update MIUI stock ROM from GSI

Hi Everyone,
I found most threads about "bricked" and "wanting for edl" which made me think about flashing an update for my Redmi 6 Pro Indian version. But i went ahead and updated from GSI (aosp) to MIUI 10 (without and flashing). Here are the steps i followed which will help people to flash without getting their device bricked.
1. Check for the anti rollback count in fastboot mode : fastboot getvar anti
2. It returned empty for me (I was on MIUI global 9.6 | stable 9.6.5.0 (ODMMIFD)).
3. Before starting to flash, go through this article and get some idea on what you are dealing with
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
4. I downloaded the fastboot rom for Indian version from the below url (one ending with tgz)
https://in.c.mi.com/thread-1661494-1-0.html
5. Extracted the file and checked for the "CURRENT_ANTI_VER" (in my case it s 2). You would have understood about what it is when you have read through link linked in step 3. If not go through it.
6. Downloaded Mi flash app from the below url
https://en.miui.com/thread-81315-1-1.html
7. Connect to fastboot and select the extracted fastboot rom folder and click "refresh"
8. Click on start when you see your device. Now it will take around 10 minutes to install and it takes another 10 minutes to start.
9. It is not yet done. It will boot into MIUI stock recovery not into system
10. Now select wipedata from stock recovery and allow it to reboot for another 10 minutes. It should land you in MIUI.
Hope this helps if anyone is looking for an update.

Huh, that is new. Never knew that there is a new recovery project. (forgive me, been out of the custom scene for so long.) Maybe I will try that. Is this the correct page?

I used an early version of it because i didn't know there was a newer one, wasted all day unable to boot to the recovery and having to flash full rom with miflash LOL. So to save your time here's what i did. I ASSUME YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED
1. This is the latest orangefox recovery Version: R10.0_7: https://c.mi.com/thread-2482912-1-0.html
2. Download the latest full Recovery ROM of Mi 9T pro global V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM from here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM/miui_RAPHAELGlobal_V10.3.2.0.PFKMIXM_55396ac730_9.0.zip
3. UNZIP the recovery file, you'll see an image file called Recovery.
4. Now fastboot flash that recovery RECOVERY NAME OR LOCATION. After flash succeeds, press and hold volume up + power button until you feel the vibration and then if done properly your phone will boot to orangefox recovery.
4. From there now, copy paste the full orange fox recovery zip file to your phone internal storage, locate it and then swipe to install the recovery again as a permanent solution.
5. IMPORTANT, after you swipe it will reboot itself to recovery again, YOU HAVE TO WIPE DATA otherwise your phone won't boot up, so go to MENU-MANAGE PARTITION-DATA-OK-TYPE YES. Your data is erased so now you'll have to setup phone again.
6. After completing setup, reboot again back to orangefox recovery by pressing volume up and power button. From there go to MENU, click on settings icon on top right, locate and select MIUI OTA, in there select all check boxes, I selected all checkboxes but not sure if it's a must but since nothing wrong happened to me you can follow me lol. in there you will see a message where it tells you to FLASH A FULL MIUI ROM!, So transfer the Recovery ROM you downloaded to your phone and do the “Swipe to install” action. Wait for the OrangeFox to finish its job flashing the ROM. It may take a while because Orange Fox also takes “OTA_BAK” backup process. The backup file is located at /sdcard/Fox/OTA/ directory. Do not ever delete that directory and its files, the OTA Update will fail otherwise.
7. After flashing is done, reboot and it successful, voila your phone is ready for OTAs.
What I'm not sure is if it will survive Android 10 though.

Help me flash LOS17

Hey,
So I am new to this and I want to make sure I don't break anything.
I have the Mi 9T Pro with MIUI Global 10.3.3.0 (PFKMIXM). I am not sure if its the Global or the EEA Version (?) How can I see?
I did not yet get an option to update to MIUI11 unlike many others either. I did unlock my bootloader.
What steps in which order do I have to take to get LOS17? I also want to have root and TWRP.
Can someone guide me through this step by step? Would really appreciate.
The "instructions" in the LOS17 thread are pretty minimal and not very detailed.

The ROM is global, so I assume the phone is too. In PFKMIXM look at characters 4 & 5. MI = global. For EEA these would be EU (CN = China, IN = India).
I don't think MIUI 11 has been released for the global ROM. AFAIK this week was only the European ROM that got updated to 11.
To install LOS you would need to install MIUI 11 firmware & vendor first (these can be flashed on there own or you could install a fastboot MIUI 11 ROM)
The LOS 17 OP recommends keeping these as the original region of the phone. In this case you will need to wait until global MIUI 11 arrives.
However, you would, in all probability, have no issues if you went with European MIUI 11 ROM/firmware instead.
The decision is yours, if you want to keep things 'proper' then wait for global MIUI 11 before proceeding. If you're happy to go with EU firmware then we can give you an overview of the process.

Thanks for the reply, very helpful.
Is there any information when MIUI 11 will be released for the global version?
Also can I already install TWRP? That should not have any effect on the ROM flashing process, right?
If so, how do I do this correctly for my current configuration?

I've not heard anything about the global release, but as someone that doesn't use MIUI I don't go looking for information, so there could be some info around. Apparently there's no noticeable difference between EU and global versions for this phone, so now the EU version is released I don't think it would be too long for the global version to appear, but that's pure guesswork.
You can install TWRP now, it requires adb and fastboot. If you don't have these on your PC then search the xda forums for 'minimal adb'. The official post will give you all the details. Ordinarily whenever you boot MIUI ithe system checks the integrity of the recovery partition and, if it has changed, it will restore stock recovery. Therefore immediately after installing TWRP you'll need to install Magisk, which will then automatically protect the TWRP installation.
Copy your Magisk installation file onto the phone
Boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect to the PC.
To make life easier, copy the TWRP image file to the same folder that has adb and fastboot and rename the file as TWRP.img
Open command prompt and navigate to the adb/fastboot installation folder.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
If you're using PowerShell then you'll need to qualify the location of fastboot and TWRP
Code:
.\fastboot flash recovery .\TWRP.img
When that's finished and still in fastboot mode.
Press and hold the vol+ and power buttons.
Keep holding both until the phone vibrates and the initial splash screen appears.
Release the power button, but keep holding vol+ for a second or 2.
You should now have booted into TWRP if everything went OK.
Go to install and select the Magisk installation file on the phone.
Confirm the selection.
Once that's finished you can reboot the phone.
If all's OK you should now have TWRP and Magisk installed.

Alright. Thanks for the instructions, I will try this.
Just to make sure: Is this the correct TWRP image: TWRP 3.3.1-22 Unofficial by mauronofrio ?
Where can I find the correct magisk files for my device? Do I need magisk or magisk manager?
Would be sick if you could link me the correct ones
Cheers

EDIT: JUST READ THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MAGISK 20.1 AND MIUI 11.
DOWNLOAD MAGISK 19.4
That is the correct TWRP.
Only ever get Magisk from here
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
There are no device specific versions, just one size fits all. Download the latest 20.1 Magisk installer zip to flash in TWRP. It will install Magisk and Magisk manager at the same time. Also download the uninstaller zip at the same time, just in case. If, for any reason, you need to uninstall then it's there ready.
If you need to know more about Magisk, follow the link on github to the xda official thread, it has very good information.

//
Update: OrangeFox Recovery Project for Xiaomi 11T Pro (vili) with the same installation instructions.
Caution: this recovery is intended for use with MIUI vendors ONLY, even having the flashing capability of MiLahaina based system, do not try to boot it on MiLahaina ROMs, as the builds aren't compatible.
Bugs as for now:
- Vibrator
- MTP (adb works fine)

This guide will walk you through the process of installing TWRP on your Xiaomi 11T Pro.
READ THIS FIRST:
You may brick your device if you don't know what you are doing.
This might ERASE ALL YOUR DATA so do a BACKUP encase.
Your bootloader will be unlocked.
Prerequisites:
The bootloader must be unlocked. Click here for a tutorial.
Install ADB and Fastboot Drivers from here (Select the latest) --> https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool )
Install drivers for Xiaomi 11T Pro --> https://droidfilehost.com/download/download-xiaomi-usb-driver-for-windows (For Windows Only!)
Download the TWRP Image for Xiaomi 11T Pro --> https://sourceforge.net/projects/recovery-for-xiaomi-devices/files/vili/
Installing TWRP:
Reboot the phone to fastboot (Power + Vol Down)
Connect the phone to the computer using an USB cable (Preferred to use original cable that came with the phone)
Extract the fastboot files and open CMD/Terminal there.
Paste the twrp.img in the same folder.
Type' fastboot boot twrp.img' without the apostrophes.
The phone will reboot in TWRP after that go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP.
Done!
Note: Change twrp.img with the original file name example twrp-3.7-xxx.img.

Edit: The Recovery is now updated by skkk and is working on Android 12 without any problems just download it from the update link above
Good job!!
Thank youuu!
Edit: But everytime I open TWRP I need to put my pattern, why is that?
oh thanks, so i can flash EU rom through TWRP ???
Where is this twrp from, who made it. Information needed. Please share.

Not 100% sure but it's probably because your device is encrypted which is the default behavior of miui when you setup your lockscreen method.

Not yet, we still don't have recovery rom yet, the current eu rom is for fastboot.

How can I remove it? When I put my password it decrypt tho, should I keep it like that (keep putting password whenever I open twrp) or remove it? Which is better?

It is better to enter the password every time as this will enhance your security in case you lose your phone they won't find the password is decrypted therefore they can't access your data.
But still there is another way they might access your data and that if your bootloader is unlocked usually the best way to protect yourself is to leave the password in twrp and lock your bootloader.

What issues? Could you be more specific? I have both and I don't have any issues...
i have Tried as below:
Option1: Tried to boot Twrp after that go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP > Done Magisk was missing so flashed Magisk from Twrp.
Not booting on system
Option2: Flashed TWRP on SLOT A & SLOT B and now messed up
This unofficial version of TWRP + Magisk root seems to cause network problems for me as the mobile connection dropped from 4G(LTE) to 2G(EDGE).
Using Magisk root without TWRP works like a charm.
Anyone else facing this issue?
I flashed the latest magisk on this TWRP and no problem facing.

It won't as it might brick your phone so make sure you install this in 11T Pro (vili) not 11T (agate)
Good morning, I use it with the 11t Pro, and no problem! great everything.
But now they updated to Android 12 and Miui 13, and it doesn't work anymore...
The developer will update the recovery to work on android 12??
First of all, thank you very much for the hard work you do.

i got help from the discord server and here's what i did:
> launched TWRP > Advanced > ADB Sideload
> installed the newest platform-tools on my PC
> then flashed a recovery rom with version 12.5.10
>> NOTE: if it crashed at 47% - 49% that's fine, it's an ADB bug so 47 - 49 means 100%
> rebooted to system
after all that my devices was working again.
