[Q]TWRP Backup restoration after rooting & flashing custom recovery - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello everyone, good morning.
So, after getting AntiRB brick and having to purchase an account from a website to get my phone working, I decided to ask a question before doing the same s**t again.
So, my question is
I am on AntiRB 4. I flash the dummy.img provided in another thread to get the TWRP flashed, I boot in TWRP and take a TWRP backup immediatly. **** happens and getting a bootloop or smthin. Can I restore the TWRP backup or I will get a AntiRB brick again ?
thank u 4 ur time.

Hello,
you are a kamikaze ?
clean install and do not restore !

I thought with anti roll back you have to do "fastboot boot twrp.img" and not "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" correct me if i'm wrong.
Maybe this was your problem?

Boot loop issue

Hey guys, I just recently got some parts for my old One X to start playing with it again (bored with ios). I was running an older version of ViperXL and wanted to get lollipop so my goal was to put CM12.0 on my phone. My recovery was twrp but a version that was older so I had to update it. The in app update wasn't working so I updated cwm instead. When I did this I tried to boot to recovery and it would attempt to go to recovery but then boot back to the os.
Then I was trying to flash the recovery using fastboot which resulted in the same problem. Somewhere in there I flash the recovery.img as my boot image (sudo fastboot flash boot recovery.img) This made my phone repeatedly try to boot into recovery. I tried flashing new ViperXL boot.img as well as a couple others but none let me get into my os again. Now it is just a bootloop trying to start my phone up.
When I try flashing a .zip I get the error 'FAILED (remote: not allowed)'. Flashing recovery and boot images work though.
I've tried a lot and done a lot of searching but nothing can get me into recovery or even out of any sort of bootloop.
I'm using Ubuntu and my phone is S-On if that means anything.
Thanks!
Try restoring any backups of old roms from the recovery. Make sure Recovery is written properly in recovery partition. If this works fine , the appropriate boot.img shud be automatically flashed , i guess.
If u dont have a backup , try finding another one x user using a custom recovery, create a backup from his mobile and copy it to ur sd card by mounting it thru recovery and restore it.
If it doesnt work , wipe all the partitions - System , cache, boot and recovery.. then try flashing a Recovery and then a Boot.img and a rom.
I havent faced such a situation. Just my suggestions as no experts have responded.
Cheers if u have already sorted it out !!!

Need latest firmware. Help please!

So I screwed up I was able to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root. Tried to install Xposed and am stuck in boot loop. I can get to recovery and fastboot mode (bootloader). I either need the original rom so I can install with fastboot or some way to get past the boot looping. NO I DID NOT MAKE A BACKUP! First time I ever did something without making a backup first.
Any help would be appreciated. Huawei Mediapad M2-801W
Never mind. Was able to put Xposed uninstaller on ad card, enter TWRP and flash. All good.

OnePlus 3 bootloop after flashing TWRP

Hello everyone,
I have a huge problem with my OP3. I flashed TWRP following this guide from the unlock of the bootloader to the flash, but when I rebooted from TWRP after flashing it, the phone was in a bootloop.
I also had this problem on my OPO everytime I flashed TWRP, but I solved it by doing a factory reset from TWRP just after flashing it, it always worked, but apparently it doesn't work on the OP3, so I don't know what to do... :crying:
EDIT : I repaired my OP3 by flashing the stock recovery and reinstalling Oxygen OS in sideload, but now I'm afraid to flash TWRP again... I don't understand what I do wrong, I just enter the command to flash recovery, then when I reboot the phone bootloop...

Question about TWRP.

I wanted to install Lineage OS and was curious if I could install it without having TWRP flashed into recovery. I mean, I'll still use fastboot boot twrp, ill just won't have it in my recovery.
I'm asking because when I tried to do fastboot flash recovery twrp it said failed antirollback check. Would like some help if possible
Once you temporarily boot twrp, you can it flash twrp image from within it.
It would work without, but you won't be able to update LOS, unless you boot twrp again.
See: - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219
And don't downgrade MIUI firmware/rom.

Problem installing TWRP

Hello,
Yesterday, i spent 7hours trying to install TWRP on my brand new Mi A2 Lite. At the end, i had the message, system is destroyed.
I could flash a new rom using Miflash. Now, my phone is working with 10.0.4.
When i try to boot in recovery, i have the no command message with the android green guy on his back ....
So know is it useful to install the original recovery before trying to install TWRP ? If, yes, how ?
If not, and i can install TWRP. Please, can someone give me a working tutorial ?
Thx in advance !

The recovery with the green guy is the stock one. For twrp: put twrp.zip in your storage or sd card and you must start in fastboot (fastboot boot twrp.img). Once you booted in twrp you flash twrp.zip from storage to have it permanently. Since you have pie firmware it might be better to use twrp from here which is said to be built with pie kernel, I'm not sure that's necessary.
