Awesome. This will make rooting even easier. Just unlock, flash CWM and then install su from there.
Does this recovery work?
I have flashed the same recovery via rom manager and it just comes up with a black screen
Koush has said he will fix it in the next few days

This was already posted a few days ago and it was stated that it didnt work and the link removed.
I have removed the link from the original post until its working and then the first person to post the information (or the developer) will have the right to post it.
Mark.
Working download link and new version is now up.
Can, reportedly, also be gotten through the ROM Manager.

Can you backup your stock Recovery before flashing CWM Recovery?
There's some reports on Koush's twitter that superuser doesn't work on CWM on the Nexus

for me its working well. just made backup and using SU after etc. no issue at all
but i installed cwm from ROM manager instead
How does CWM save/store its ROMS, and where does it load from? With the Xoom, without a working SD, it was not possible to use CWM.
If the onboard storage is all one volume with the OS, is the storage included in the backup, and how is the images written if the storage is needed to hold the ROMS to be flashed?

I'd like to know this too. I found something that would back it up, but you need root first. I'd like to be able to back it up before rooting if possible.

Rooting shouldn't affect the Recovery partition so you should be able to safely root then backup your stock recovery before installing ClockworkMod Recovery?
Or if someone backs up theirs you could download it and keep a copy of it?
Anyone can post here recovery.fstab ?
I have just installed Rom Manager and I get a FC but it seems to have installed the CWM OK. It successfully rebooted to CWM and I could navigate around but I didn't try flashing anything yet.
The issue may be more with Rom Manager than the recovery
Installed CWM just fine, however when i try to do a nandroid backup it says "Can't mount backup path" or when i try to browse for a zip to install "Can't mount /sdcard/".
My first guess is that it is because i encrypted my phone, but i believe it works on my Xoom, which is encrypted as well... (I will check this later when i have my Xoom nearby)
FYI, this recovery also is confirmed working on my VZW LTE version.
Backups are approximately 6-700MB and are ext4.tar files for system, data and cache.
Hi Guys - I installed this twrp via fastboot flash recovery, I am on china dev version MIUI 10 8.8.3 Beta, rebooted to system, powered down, and then volume up & power button to go to recovery - I am greeted by china recovery 3.0 in chinese. It appears twrp does not stick. Device is unlocked bootloader (from vendor), Just flashed over from the fake ROM, this is the 128 GB / 6 GB version phone. What am I doing wrong
Lol, dont understand why you typed "revocery" in your pic but it still understood

After flashing china rom, need to boot to fastboot then execute the following commands in adb:
1. fastboot format userdata
2. fastboot flash recovery twrp.......
3. fasboot boot recovery twrp...... so the phone can boot into recovery then follow the rest of the guide if you want to flash xiaomi.eu rom
That's strange, but Orange recovery also reverted
You're right it shouldn't have installed but it did. The Orange recovery also installed, neither stuck tho
Awesome

I'm straggling with Chinese like most of us here. There is an android app you can install on your other phone which would use your cam to translate Chinese. Try that see if it helps...
What I am getting from this (cannot read chinese) but phone goes into fastboot - So I have formated, deleted the eu rom I had on the internal - so start again install the fastboot rom, twrp into it reboot twrp, have eu rom on SD Card and go from there.

After flashing TWRP you need to change file system from ext4 to f2fs, then reboot recovery, from within twrp, wipe cache,dalvic, data and internal recovery ( do NOT wipe system), mount all possible options ( pc will recognize phone, transfer xiaomi.eu rom from pc to internal memory, go to install and flash rom and wait to boot.

Can I flash this instead
Hi, I'd also flashed miui_MIMAX3Global_V9.6.6.0.OEDMIFD_091e94a919_8.1
Can I flash this rom on top of the above?
Fastboot ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.7.0.O...EDCNFD_20180705.0000.00_8.1_cn_7c9a1a57f8.tgz
Located here
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...-and-recovery-rom-9-6-7-0-for-mi-max-3.45198/
Thanks, I'm afraid I'll brick the device?
Also struggled with twrp, switched back to miui's.
Look the twrp official site, find your device and follow step by step the fastboot method till the end. Worked.
I have solved the TWRP issue, the problem now is that when I flash a ROM it does not seem to work and crashes.
I am worried this is going to get bricked in this process. Maybe just wait for the official Global to come out

Thanks Martin you're very helpful I am now up and running. I am going to list a list of mistakes
1. I should have used CMD, not Powershell (type CMD in the address bar of the folder where your recovery is)
2. I did not know the sequence of flashing (change to F2FS, reboot recovery from within, Wipe Dalvic, Cache, Data) Then flash
3. I did not know how to boot recovery from fastboot (fastboot boot "recovery.img" "name of your recovery")
4. I did not know to change file system for data, (From TWRP Wipe->Advanced wipe->Repair or change file system. Select Data partition, select F2FS) change it then reboot recovery = see step 2 above.
Thanks Very Much
I am listing these for reference, and for those who help others to know what other errors may be committed.
Twrp supposedly installed -- twice -- but i got nothin'
Hi all,
I love this forum -- despite having a bunch of learning disabilities, I've managed to root a half dozen devices over the years thanks to your patience. This time I'm stumped.
Can't install TWRP. It says it is installed successfully with ADB (see screenshot). I used
twrp-3.3.1-0-nitrogen.img and I'm on I'm on Miui Global 10.3.5 Stable (Android 9PKQ1.181007.001).
Command line confirms installation. MM3 reboots when I enter the fastboot reboot to recovery command but it boots into the main system. I can boot into recovery using power/volume up method but it boots to the stock Mi recovery.
Should I try OrangeFox? Does this have anything to do with dm-verity? Is there anything else I can try to get root?
Originally, I wanted to install LineageOS, but what with locked bootloaders, anti-rollback, DM Verity, etc. , I'm guessing that's over my head and would happily settle for rooted stock.
Best,
Amy
Twrp supposedly installed -- twice -- but i got nothin'
EUREKA!!! I found a simple solution to install TWRP no worries about verity etc and I am rooted!
Genius idea came from Youtuber. Here is the link but I will still describe it in case the video gets removed for some reason.
You do it the regular stuff:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "twrp filename"
But then while you're still in fastboot enter "fastboot recovery" into the command line and before you hit enter, press and hold volume up on the phone.
It boots into TWRP!
Note that you will keep getting Mi Recovery using volume down/power combo until after you use TWRP install (accessing TWRP with above method) to flash magisk.
Then, TWRP seems to stick. (Although just in case it gets unstuck, I installed the official twrp app from the Play store, since it has a 'boot into recovery' option.
Presenting the TWRP Recovery for Asus Zenfone Lite L1 (ZA551KL) (asus_x00r)(Treble Supported)(Encryption Fixed) Disclaimer : I am not responsible for any bricked device, all responsibility bears the user.

Live l1 and lite l1 is a completely different devices
This TWRP actually partially works for Live L1 (ZA550KL, SD425). The problems are 1) it can't decrypt /data, 2) it fails to mount /xrom (which is inexistent on the Go variant) and 3) no ADB/MTP, but for flashing ROMs/addons, backing up and restoring, it works nicely. Just letting y'all know about it.

Can you link me to the one you know of? I just found another one from TWRP Builder, and it did fix most problems, but I still can't use decrypted data (shows "encryption unsuccessful" on boot). And it doesn't expose /vendor either which is a small letdown. <- Fixed by unpacking and editing recovery.fstab.

I used a GSI to update from Oreo to Pie. But the TWRP has only 2 options (boot & Recovery) to flash the .img file. However, I did a restore & back with the old Oreo. I want to upgrade my Asus Lite 1 to Pie!! Is there any possibility to get the mobile back to the factory state including recovery? So, that I can begin from one.

Hi, is there a simple and WORKING method to decrypt data on EMUI 9.1? On stock and custom ROM? ( I mean DATA section without encryption, you can interact with it in TWRP).
Thanks in advance.

now i'm facing a new problem which i can't determine if is better or worse than the previous one, in twrp i can now see the normal folders ,which i could not before (Alarms, Android, DCIM,....), but they're into the /sdcard folder in the list of the folders named acct, cache, config, cust... any suggestions?
As mentioned in the title, fastboot booting a twrp.img to enter a temp TWRP seems to completely wipe everything else on the device, including the current OS. To bypass this I'm using a method in one of the guides using a nonflagged twrp.img to format data, re-fastboot boot into recovery, unmount-remount data. This allows me access to storage again so I can flash a different ROM. If I make the TWRP permanent, booting from new ROM system into recovery also wipes the OS. I'm not sure what other details to provide but I can answer any questions. Help would be appreciated, thank you!
I have never heard of this problem, what TWRP are you using? Firmware? ROM?

Started with base MIUI, I believe it was 12, then updated to 12.5, so I got hit with ARB from the start. Switched to custom ROM, I went through crDroid, EvoX, and HavocOS before switching to Descendant 12, which is what I'm on now.
I'm pretty sure the issue began when I was flashing 12 after updating to 12.5 (to make sure all the tail ends were cleaned up I suppose) before flashing crDroid.
edit: I flashed stock through MiFlash so it just didn't work and I moved on, no bricking from ARB with TWRP
I've been using the Nebrassy TWRP, following this guide.
I'm not sure what you mean by firmware. I do not use a custom kernel if that is what you're asking.

Try to flash the latest fastboot original MIUI ROM for your device, that normally gets rid of most conflicts, and I would recommend following the flashing steps from CrDroid 8.1

I get this error after flashing but everything seems fine once booted up.
Edit2: Attempt to flash Descendant 12:
1. Boot into stock ROM, set pin, finish setup
2. Boot into bootloader -> fastboot boot twrp.img
3. Flash descendant.zip -> I get this:
ERROR: failed to mount /system_ext
failed to mount /product
3a. (optionally) make TWRP permanent -> flash current TWRP
same errors
3b. system OS is wiped, sdcard is empty
4. Boot into system. Buggy (most notably audio freezing/cutting out)
4a. fastboot boot twrp.img
4b. OS is wiped, sdcard empty
I tried this twice. First time was 1-3b, second time 1-3, 4-4b.
I will try with the crDroid 8.1 posted TWRP file.
Edit3: using crDroid TWRP file
1. fastboot boot twrp-crdroid.img
2. flash crDroid (auto-flash twrp toggled)
3. reboot recovery
4. flash everything
5. FORMAT VERY IMPORTANT
6. boot system
On further consideration, I made two mistakes. One was getting too fixated on the errors, the other was not formatting after flashing. The twrp file really helped to resolve these issues. Thanks for your help.

How can I do that when my ARB is higher than stock ROM
Edit: I removed the ARB check in the .bat file and then flashed stock MIUI 12.5.

what MIUI are you trying to flash? what phone do you have? K40?, F3 global? China?

12.5.5, the latest official ROM. I have F3 global.
Edit: It seems to be more an issue with Descendant than the other ROMs. PEX and crDroid, although also having mounting errors, did not come with the same ones. /vendor is okay, but it seems to be an error when failing to mount /oem and/or /system(.extensions) -- this would make sense, obviously.
I may try HavocOS and some other ROMS at a later time.
