Get opt encrypt and update rom [stock recovery and boot opt encrypt with magisk]

Here is my tutor after a hard work on my zenfone 4 max whole day.
first of all you must download the last asus update for zenfone 4 max, I used 233.
put it into sd card, boot into stock recovery and update. (if you have a new phone just do it, if you already unlocked bootloader and installed twrp, just boot bootloader and flash stock recovery above.)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YP7v9sBclQULxYPOndDPCMLikZsT8urN
after this step, just do unlock bootloader. (if not unlocked), and flash twrp.
*recommended reboot recovery twrp and make a backup now
reboot bootloader and flash the boot above, it has no decrypt and magisk 16
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bHk0znQNsH-dWZ89P525gC-rrvN4e9bl
reboot recovery twrp. Do the following:
format data partition,
reboot recovery twrp
clear data, cache and dalvik cache.
Now boot system, all data encrypt is gone, and you can activate it if you want.
You cant boot system until this boot image is flashed, or encrypt will be activated.

kernel is the core, it is in boot image.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(after extract boot image, cause it is zipped)

Stock Recovery
Do you have stock recovery img file for our Zenfone 4 Max (ZC554KL)? Kindly upload it again.

Hi, do you have latest stock recovery for this device? I want to update to oreo, but it requires latest firmware (at least ver .352) to execute it.

latest recovery version
Hi alegmx!
i'm really thankful that you provide this stock recovery image , it works!
but can you provide us with a newer version of the recovery image? it'll be big help if you can provide it with us!
your version is currently .215 , im upgrading my os to version 412 and it needs atleast the .352 version of the recovery.

TWRP stuck in splash screen.

Hi everyone, when I install the TWRP using the flashable zip installer and then boot into TWRP it gets stuck in the TWRP logo and when I flash from fastboot it works fine, but I need to install it from flashable zip because I TWRP the I have to start with the partition slot A that also has the custom rom, I can't always change slot partitions every time I have to do operations with the TWRP.

I would also like to note that using the twrp-installer-jasmine_sprout-3.2.3.zip results in the recovery mode sitting on the TWRP logo even if it was a successful install.
I'm hoping someone can find a fix to this soon.

Do you flash the rom before the twrp zip?

I found a workaround instead of using the zip package.
1. Get the current partition you are using:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
2. Choose which partition you want to install to( in this case I'm using B, but you can use A if you like ) and flash the latest TWRP IMG file:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.2.3-0-jasmine_sprout.img
3. Set the current partition to the one you just flashed:
Code:
fastboot set_active b

Yes but then to go to TWRP to do something I can't always use a PC and from fastboot change slots. I took so long to install Magisk.

I had to dump the boot partition, modify it with magisk manager and flash it with the TWRP, it doesn't seem like anything to dump but to me it was difficult because I don't have root at the beginning.

If I flash the TWRP in the boot partition in the resurrection remix slot, I lose the chance to start the custon rom

Fixed, after the 3000th time I flashed, then the TWRP starts up, I don't know how not to ask me why but now I try to hypothesize 2 solutions:
1) We have to stay for a while with the custom rom, then later when you will try to flash the zip, the TWRP will start.
2) You need to have both Magisk and TWRP installed in the boot in order to start the TWRP flashed from zip without problems.
These solutions do not know if they are like this or I am confusing myself, so it happened to me.
If in doubt, hoping for an update does not hurt, maybe the TWRP will start immediately with no problems in the future.

Stock boot.img is not booting on boot_b

Hi there,
I've been rooting phones since Android 2, but lately it has been quite a challenge.
What I did so far:
Unpack new Xiaomi MI A2 (jasmine) device
Enabled Developer, USB debugging, OEM unlock in Android settings
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b TWRP-3.2.3-jasmine-20180804.img
TWRP ran fine. However, started with boot_a again.
OTA updated (about 6 times) to the newest version (Android 10, QKQ1.190910.002 V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM)
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.4.0-0-jasmine_sprout.img
TWRP started only to the splash screen (showing "teamwin" and "Recovery Project 3.4.0-0"). Why is TWRP not starting properly?
Downloaded the stock fastboot image V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM from https ://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/jasmine/ and flash the stock boot.img via
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b jasmine_global_images_V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM_10.0/images/boot.img
(my goal is to later patch it with Magisk and then install the patched version). However, the stock boot.img just hangs forever on the androidone screen. Why is the stock boot.img not starting properly?
I haven't used the Mi Unlock app and I didn't do an "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" yet. Is this necessary? What do I have to do to make the boot images work?

why do you feel you must use boot images ...the tried and working method for "jasmine" is to boot custom recovery and then flash magisk zip ( root only ) ..or...flash custom recovery installer zip which will flash recovery to both a/b slots.. then flash magisk
to properly boot you need to overcome stuff like secure boot and force encryption
if you aren't planning on custom roms just boot twrp to flash magisk
or
flash installer zip for recovery and wipe everything including formatting data to remove encryption and boot directly to recovery to install custom rom
twrp custom recovery had problems with decryption on stock rom ...secure boot won't allow booting modified images ..
lastly remember on jasmine there is no recovery partition..so everything is in the boot image ..magisk and recovery ..so everytime you flash stock , stock boot overwrites these changes and should flash everything again
tbh that's why i converted to wayne to get old partition layout as the A/B story pissed me off

Ok. So I'm back to Stock image jasmine_global_images_V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM_10.0 by executing "flash_all.sh". You are saying I should "simply boot". You mean:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-3.4.0-0-jasmine_sprout-for_V11.0.12.0.img
right? That doesn't work, it won't boot. How do I overcome secure boot and force encryption?

yes im saying that but post a pic of the error ...why or how doesn't it boot ..
if it is the official twrp just dump it and look for the unofficial Russian one or one modified by Nebrassy or use Orange fox and or Pitch black ..official is broken last time i checked
also the name of that looks like one hell of a job ..shorten it to
recovery.img or twrp.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
but first run
fastboot getvar all
& also run fastboot flashing unlock_critical
but most importantly get another recovery
& i don't want to insult your intelligence but after flashing stock did you check to make sure bootloader was still unlocked and that dev settings was activated and that adb was toggled to on and that you authorised adb again
basicall after stock boot device and do the above ..plug in usb ..toggle adb ..authorise ..run adb devices ..if you see your device ..adb reboot bootloader ..fastboot devices ..see your device ..fastboot getvar all ..see bootloader is unlocked ..fastboot flashing unlock_critical if not done yet ...make sure to do ALL the above again after data gets wiped.....put twrp in adb folder ( MUST BE UNOFFICIAL RUSSIAN OR MODUFIED BY NEBRASSY ..rename to revovery.img ...fastboot boot recovery.img .. use file manager to put magisk.zip on internal then flash ..then reboot to rooted phone with stock recovery ...

Of course it is the official one. OMFG twrp-3.4.0-0-jasmine_sprout.img is broken (freezes on the TWRP splash screen), but version 3.3.1 seems to work. That's a relief, so I will try to flash magisk now. Although, I think I will need to do the decryption thing for jasmine first, but I guess I'll follow https://www.the***********.com/install-twrp-recovery-root-xiaomi-mi-a2-a2-lite/ mostly

jajaja well now you know ...be careful ...some "official" roms are also more buggy than unofficial ones for Jasmine/Wayne..
LOS is an example ..so be forewarned .. if you like android 1 i guess stock rooted is a smart option to keep updates and keep device certified for google stuffs . .
alternativeky go FULL custom rom because stock and custom recovery is just a pain and not worth the hassle on an A/B treble device flashable by fastboot ..just boot the recovery when if ever needed
fyi ..you can flash magisk and it will boot ...if you don't try changing the recovery ..so you can have stock rooted with magisk without rcustom recovery...* recommended by me if you only wamt stock with root

All good now, thanks for your help! I just flashed Magisk (and also TWRP) and everything works nicely! I will need to get some experience, but I'll keep in mind that I maybe want to get rid of the TWRP recovery. Finally security testing is fun again. Thx!

Help from you

My phone radmi 10x 5g is hanging on the recovery,twrp even after the update, it takes off on the recovery. I can solve your problem

If you got bootloop after flashed magisk, you need to flash stock rom boot.img.
If you got bootloop after flashed TWRP, you need to flash stock rom recovery.img.
If you got bootloop (or black screen) after flashed misc partition, you need to erase misc partition.
If your device keep booting in recovery (or blackscreen), you need to erase misc partition.
Here, is the guide for erasing MISC partition: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4209299/
Please, follow only method 2, because method 1 is for MERLIN (Redmi 10X 4G / Redmi Note 9).
Do you need help with your MERLIN device ?

Please can back up my phone redmi 10x 5g that is turned off on recovery twrp and does not work even after the official update

Download stock rom, copy it into sdcard memory. Put your device into recovery mode. Choose format (factory reset), choose yes. Then flash stock rom, flash magisc and flash vbmeta.img. Then, reboot system.
