Thanks, dude !

Working OK for both MIUI and AOSP based ROMs?

Working with ASAP and MIUI and encryption all round.

That's great! Thanks for sharing

After flashing this recovery, it boots right back into stock recovery. Any idea what i'm doing wrong? Do I have to disable dm-verity or something?

You can keep dm-verity. After flashing I'd suggest leaving fastboot and booting straight into recovery via fingerpress.
Flashing SuperSU or Magisk or similar should ensure survival of TWRP if it's being overwritten.

Works great but I found :
1. Reboot to TWRP is so slowly... Why ?
2. System won't boot into TWRP when wipe everything and reboot to TWRP. I need to turn phone off and then press volume up + power button to enter TWRP again.
Is there any chance to fix those ?

1. I've noticed the slow speed too, I'm 100% sure why it's happening but I have some ideas.
2. The same ideas will hopefully address this issue.
It was a quick and dirty port since there was no native TWRP, I haven't had the time yet to improve it but I'll build an updated release based on 8.2.5.0 sometime soon and look to making it official.

I've had no issues with USB-OTB, with any standard formatted flash drive (FAT32, NTFS, EXT4).
This is also the first I've heard of anyone having such an issue.
Does the OTG drive mount successfully in whatever ROM you're using? Is it attached prior to booting to TWRP? Can you provide additional information.
TWRP doesn't like remounting the same USB multiple times - i.e if you unplug the USB while in TWRP, and then reattach the same drive it won't remount it.

Sorry to feedback lately because I was too busy in past 2-week.
Well, new TWRP is working well.
The only one problem: If I want to upgrade firmware, TWRP will be replaced by MIUI stock recovery after flashing new version of MIUI ROM.
It's pretty annoying because I need to get into fastboot mode then flash TWRP. After that, entering TWRP and flash lineage OS ...
Is it possible to be fixed in next coming version ?

May I know how to flash the TWRP rom?

I'm on MIUI.eu ROM, can I flash full global MIUI original ROM with TWRP without bricking the phone ??
Before on Redmi note 3 u can't flash original ROM without bricking the phone, u needed special TWRP (zxc version) or modify the ROM

[Recovery] TWRP 3.1.1 (unofficial)

I was looking for a TWRP for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. I've found a chinese board where a user called YouLinw compiled TWRP for us. According to him and the users there (Google Translator) it seems to work. Can't test it by now, because my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 isn't shipped right now. It was really tricky to register in this chinese board and then to download the file. You can download it yourself in the board and for all other users I made a mirror with no registration.
There's now a new english TWRP from Xiaomi.eu.
I don't take any responsibilities for this file. If you break or damage your phone, it's your fault!
The recovery is in chinese - but you shuold be able to use it with screenshots in your language.

Great find! Any idea what version of SuperSU can be used to root The device ?

In this chinese board there's something written like, that SuperSu 2.82 is suitable for the Mix 2 (without guarantee).

Can confirm, superSU 2.82 works on Xiaomi EU rom version 7.9.22

unable to mount /system after nadroid backup
TWRP installed fine and experienced no issues until I made a full Nandroid backup. After the backup I have issues flashing because the device is unable to mount /system . busy or in use error.
So now I wait until official TWRP.

If you are having any twrp issues just reboot into twrp and the issues will be gone. Try again!

For the life of me I cannot get this TWRP to do anything. My phone came with Global 8.5 Stable. I confirmed my bootloader is unlocked. I flashed the TWRP and booted it, it boots fine but trying to backup anything I get Failed to unmount "/system" (Device or resource busy). I tried to reboot back into TWRP still same problem, I tried to reflash TWRP through both fastboot and TWRP image installer. I downloaded the EU rom and tried to flash it and it also failed to flash. OEM unlock is checked, USB debugging is on. TWRP gets over written with the Mi Mix recovery whenever I boot back into system, it doesn't ask me if I want to modify anything when it first boots. Why is this giving me so much trouble I've never encountered this problem with TWRP. Any Advice?.
Thanks much

There is still no official TWRP available. I always do a full wipe factory reset and manual wipe everything before flashing anything. I also get the errors, but I've never tried to restore a backup because I usually just do clean installs each time because the ROMs available right now aren't stable enough for daily use.
The trick for EU rom is complete wipe than boot back into TWRP and try flashing. You will get 2 errors but will install fine. You can install USB drive or transfer EU rom through mtp via TWRP.

I'll do it like @allrockedout
It seems this TWRP is more beta than stable :-/
Also check the "Mount" button and uncheck the option to open all partitions readonly.
Then reboot TWRP. Last but not least before performing any flash operations (ROM or Magisk/SU-Stuff) check all partitions as marked - then do your flash work
i also miss some more partition that are available to other devices like EFS.
Did anyone know about another TWRP version or devs that are working on one?

This rom includes TWRP so if you flashed the rom you already have it... but still unsure how you already had recovery without fastboot drivers??
The rom should be working, is your internal storage showing as 0MB? you might need to format data if you unlocked bootloder again

Nice job,rom works well
Is there any plan for an aosp pure Google rom ?

You won't be to install magisk root if your boot.img was previously rooted with SuperSU.
But that wouldn't be a problem if using this ROM though, as a clean boot.img is flashed, so it sounds like your ether not using this ROM its self but just the recovery linked or your phone is not NX591J, Sorry I'm bit confused of your situation ???
You sure your device is NX591J ? Nubia lite (not mini)
Have you formatted data? (not wipe)
Have you tried to flash stock? for your phone? then root

good

This is awesome, thanks so much. Will be even better if you manage to change the quick settings.
I couldn't get the pixel icon pack 2 working, seems like pixel launcher isn't supported or am I missing something?
Thanks again!

Downloading,thank you for your work

stuck with checking updates
stuck with checking updates. any suggestions?

So I decided to try to flash a Generic System Image (GSI)...

aaaaand it booted!
I just flashed Resurrection Remix GSI by phhusson and it works. With EMUI 8 beta you can now flash a treble ROM. Still, this requires further testing so be careful. I'm not responsible for bricked phones. Here are the steps:
1. Make sure your device is on EMUI 8 beta with unlocked bootloader (guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/hwota7-hwota8-honor-6x-t3792601)
2. Download GSI from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...opment/resurrection-remix-phh-treble-t3767688 and move it to the folder where you installed ADB
Note: Honor 6x doesn't support seamless update so you want the A-only image, not the A/B one. Just in case you don't know already, Honor 6x has arm64 architecture.
3. Open cmd and navigate to your ADB folder
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and type 'fastboot flash system name-of-the-image.img' where name-of-the-image.img is your downloaded GSI.
5. Hit enter and wait for it to finish installing
6. Famous words: "Reboot and pray"
Problems:
1. Since we don't have a treble-compatable TWRP build yet, there is no way to install gapps for now. I will try to find an image that includes them.
2. All the problems present on the actual ROM (check ROM thread)
3. There are likely others. (There always are some)
I'd like it if others tried to flash this and share their experiences here.
Thanks to @phhusson, @vovan1982, @HassanMirza01, Huawei, RR team and everybody else I forgot to mention.

Thanks,in the mean time I'm looking for a proper cable to root my phone lol

UPDATE:
I flashed AOSP GSI and it boots normally as well. Has gapps and root as well, but you'll need the og supersu (phh's). Chainfire's su doesn't work. Also, you can't give adb root access via dev options so you cant pull boot image to patch it with magisk right away. I'm also unable to get stock camera to work but will experiment with that in the future. Battery life seems a bit better than on nougat roms but then again I'm running pure AOSP with no major battery consumer app on it for now. That's it for now.

@TheParallelOne
Did you try to use stock camera app from there?

Bro do complete research first. we have fully working twrp. use twrp on elemental Rom. and installation procedure is also completely wrong. first flash twrp from fastboot using command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY V2.img then check the recovery and reboot to boot loader then flash system image then reboot to recovery do formats data then install gapps then again reboot to boot loader then flash stockrecovery from dot os thread which is also treble rom then reboot to stock recovery do factory reset now device will boot fine.
Also there are some bugs like mtp,battery drain,heating issues on normal usage and slow charging in some rims. I have tried 4 roms and decided go back to elemental Rom. but these treble roms much better than nougat custom roms comparing to them these can be used as daily driver. pure Android 8.1 roms with all latest features.

Can you provide screenshots please

That's great news. TFS bro.

mtp working on some roms and battery drain is not that much compared to emui 8 stock now im gonna try more roms.
Treble roms are much faster and more stable you can't find any bugs. even I was surprised honor 6x can run stock android with this much stability.

Battery drain comparison
on stock emui 5 5% drain for hour while watching movie in mx player no apps running in background all freezed.
on emui 8/treble roms 7-8% while watching movie on mx player but didn't freezed any apps only apps running telegram and whatsapp.
conclusion if u r in emui8 go for treble roms for complete pixel experience

What about the volte and gcam ?

[First time] Need some advices

Hello, i'm coming from Nexus 4, a great phone, so i decided to upgrade to this phone, the Xiaomi 10T Lite, is enought for my purpose.
I want to install a custom rom so i can have full control of apps and what to install/upgrade, but i find the procedure very different from my old N4.
I want to ask if the procedure below is correct to avoid brick my phone since it will arrive at the end of this week.
- First, i need to install the recovery, i always use TWRP, i connect the 10T Lite to my pc using the usb cable, then i press volume down + power to enter the fastboot, once there i back on pc, install google usb drivers from official site to recognize the phone under device manager, then i download TWRP for Mi 10T Lite, then go to adb folder directory (i'm using a protable version) and i flash the recovery with the standard procedure via cmd:
fastboot flash recovery -twrp_x.x.x.x-.img
This is correct?
- Second i need to unroot the phone, i download Magisk 23.0 from the official site:
Releases · topjohnwu/Magisk
The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
then i boot into recovery, then i install the img, is this right?
- Third, i install the rom with the same procedure as point two, in my case i want to use this:
[ROM][11][gauguin] The Baolong24 AOSP Project | Mi 10T Lite / Mi 10i / Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G
Is all the procedure correct and i'm done or i need to install more tools or do more wipes?
I read about LazyFlasher, is this tool needed too or don't matter? For my N4 i use SuperSu to manage root permissions and working great, when a new upgrade of the rom is released i just overwrite the old one from the TWRP flashing the new img and wiping cache.
Thank you and sorry for the redundant questions.

- First, i need to install the recovery, i always use TWRP, i connect the 10T Lite to my pc using the usb cable, then i press volume down + power to enter the fastboot, once there i back on pc, install google usb drivers from official site to recognize the phone under device manager, then i download TWRP for Mi 10T Lite, then go to adb folder directory (i'm using a protable version) and i flash the recovery with the standard procedure via cmd:
fastboot flash recovery -twrp_x.x.x.x-.img
This is correct?
- Second i need to unroot the phone, i download Magisk 23.0 from the official site:
Releases · topjohnwu/Magisk
The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
then i boot into recovery, then i install the img, is this right?
- Third, i install the rom with the same procedure as point two, in my case i want to use this:
[ROM][11][gauguin] The Baolong24 AOSP Project | Mi 10T Lite / Mi 10i / Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G
Is all the procedure correct and i'm done or i need to install more tools or do more wipes?
I read about LazyFlasher, is this tool needed too or don't matter? For my N4 i use SuperSu to manage root permissions and working great, when a new upgrade of the rom is released i just overwrite the old one from the TWRP flashing the new img and wiping cache.
Thank you and sorry for the redundant questions.

Thank you a lot, i already have adb + fastboot unzipped ina folder, i also have google usb drivers to recognize the phone under windows, i need these tools as a whole too?
You said unlock the bootloader, what command i need to do? Or i can do this after twrp installation via adb command line, or better, i can do this after the rom installation throught Magisk (similar to SuperSu)?
Sorry, i never managed a MIUI device. N4 was a bit different.

Unlock bootloader is mandatory for install Twrp,custom rom etc...(Wait 168 hours)
All tools(drivers,command,etc..) are in platform tools

Thank you for your kind reply, so i need to download this MI App (miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24.zip) and follow the procedure to unlock the phone, and then wait a week or so, then i can proceed to install twrp, rom, magisk, aka everything else.
Dunno why i have to wait a week, a bit odd, anyway, thank you mate, you were a big help.

That's some MIUI policy must wait a week to be able to unlock bootloader. Also when you unlocked it , phone will delete all your data, so save you pictures and everything to pc.
The best thing is to learn ADB command for flashing TWR or OrangeFox.
When you connect your phone in fastboot mode, type :
Fastboot devices - to see if your device is connected properly then
Fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery ,the best is to rename it to twrp.img) press enter - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot boot twrp.img
Then will phone reboot into TWRP.
Prepore on your sd card Rom that you want to flash , magsik ..
First flash ROM, boot it, set all up , then back to recovery and flash magisk.
Did you choose what ROM will you flash?
I use xiaomi EU ROM weekly. Beta version, bur its food. Also oneOS based on xiaomi base.

Thanks for the tips, the command line is the same as Nexus 4 so no problem, i use always cmd commands over precompiled third party kits, i have better control and i know what i'm doing.
For the rom i had Slimrom on my nexus 4, very minimal with basic apps, no playstore or other bloatware, i installed after flashing cutomized gaps based on what i need, prefer performance over quality, what's matter is the full app control and what the OS load, i hate bloatware and useless stuff that i never use, this is why i prefer custom roms instead of the pre-installed os+apps, and lastly is also mandatory the basic dark theme because i hate the white background.
From the roms released here this seems to work good for me:
[ROM][12][gauguin] The Baolong24 AOSP Project | Mi 10T Lite / Mi 10i / Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G

But if you know something better close to my tastes more advices are welcome. Do not have the phone yet, i will buy it at the end of this month.

Xiaomi Poco F3? Surely the hardware is good, 870G, but is also more expensive (around 300 eur).
Before this one was looking for the Realme 8 Pro, is a 8+128 (do not care about 5G, 4G is more than enought), is this model good? From the reviews, this phone is very balanced.
In the end point to Xiaomi 10T Lite just because i found it at a 220 eur.

You think i need to wait the price go down? 300 eur is no joke indeed, but for my purpose is better than the 10T Lite?
I mean, i don't care about playing games or download apps from playstore, i used always APK offline apps, for everything else i use the phone just for basic operations, like callings, e-mail, sms, mms, internet (telegram, rumble,etc...), streaming videos, camera to record videos and photos, nothing more, so a goodly hardware is wasted.
Guess a 750G 6+128Gb is more then enought.
My actual Nexus 4 (2+12Gb) still good but it do not support ethernet connection, storage is limited, the battery is very crap and the camera for photos and video is bad too. Time to upgrade after almost a decade.
ps: Choose the 10T Lite over the 11 Lite because 11 Lite have more weak hardware (732G), is more expensive and i can't unlock the bootloader yet.

I use Sakura with Taleswaves Kerenel not rooted , I loved this rom, and just hope that they will work on it , not stop after one or two updates.
I try all roms from here , but Sakura have nice UI ..

Read over there it have many bugs reported, they fixed all of them and is now stable with the last releases?
Regarding the installation of a different kernel, is just the same automatic procedure via twrp (go into recovery, press install and choose the image file), this is correct? Never installed a different kernel before, neither under my N4.
Thank you.

Yes, I just download new version of kernel , put one as card , go to Ofox, I use it instead of twrp and flash. It is on zip file. Also and ROMs it is in zip file. Don't unpack nothing, that's how you download them that's also flash.
I change my ROM for baloong24. Clean AOSP, very fast , very smooth.. amazing. This is the fastest ROM of all..

Sorry to bother, read on Sakura faqs:
FLASHING PROJECT SAKURA​After you have downloaded all the needed files, you can proceed with the flashing process. Boot your device into recovery mode and go to advanced wipe after that wipe dalvik, cache, system, vendor and data.
Once you have wiped, flash the required firmware/ vendor zips and the flashable ROM zip. Then reboot to system and enjoy a clean Android experience.
Note: ProjectSakura provides three types of builds GAPPS, VANILLA and MICROG. You may or maynot need to flash a separate GAPPS package depending on the type of the build; maintainer is releasing.

Following your guide above, once unlock the bootloader and installed twrp, and wipe dalvik, cache, vendor and data, i'm a bit lost about installing firmware and vendor zips, you do not mention above about these modules, are these necessary before installing the Sakura Rom?
I found them here:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
On this website there are 3 downloads fro the 10T lite, firmware, vendor and MIUI:
1) Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G/Mi 10T Lite/Mi 10i gauguin stable V12.0.2.0.RJSEUXM 11.0 Europe Download 2021-05-27
2) Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G/Mi 10T Lite/Mi 10i stable V12.0.1.0.QJSEUXM Europe GitHub | SF 1.3 GB 2020-10-0
Need to install these two files (discarding the MIUI) via twrp before or i can flash directly the Sakura rom?
Read here on xda that majority of last custom roms have already inside these two modules when flashing a phone, but i'm confused since the installation guide mention that i need to do this myself.
Thanks.
