Flashing MIUI without losing TWRP - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

As you can tell from the title, I'm looking for a way to flash MIUI ROM without loosing TWRP.
Is it okay to flash TWRP right after flashing MIUI .zip file? Would this work or is it just a nonsense?

When finished flashing,do not reboot.Return to re boot on the twrp page.Hope to help But installing magisk is not a problem

Sorry I don't quite get what you mean

Here's what I do every week (Miui 10 Global Developer ROM):
Boot into recovery
Flash ROM
Flash recovery IMG
Flash Magisk
Flash Greenify
Flash Viper4Android
Flash Youtube Vanced
Wipe cache
Reboot
(Of course) I do a backup with Titanium in advance.

just flash magisk after flashing rom

OP3 Refuses to Boot on 4.1.0

I've been trying to install OOS 4.1.0 for a few hours at this point without any luck with any method. Every time I try to install it I just get a bootloop and I have to reflash 4.0.3.
Things I have tried:
Flashing incremental OTA zip (from TWRP and official recovery)
Flashing full OTA zip (from TWRP and official recovery)
Reflashing stock 4.0.3 boot before installing
Dirty flashing 4.1.0 full zip over 4.0.3 and 4.1.0
Wiping system and cache before installing
I feel like I've done just about everything beyond fully wiping my phone and everything I've tried has never given me any problem when updating in the past, does anyone have any ideas what I could do to make this work?
Flash Twrp 3.0.4.1 by jcadduono
Wipe data-dalvik-system-cache to do a Clean flash.
Flash the 4.1 Oos.
Flash SuperSu 2.79 Stable or Magisk if you want root.
Reflash recovery again. Reboot to recovery. If it works reboot to system. If not flash recovery again. Reboot to recovery to check if it works.
Incremental ist alwys a bad idea if you modified your prhone. TWRP is a modification. SO ALWAYS use FULL zip from TWRP. But why this causes a bootloop in your case... dunno. I always use blu_spark TWRP and have no problems.

TWRP gets overwritten

I'm on latest ob18. I am able to flash it, and run it once, but after reboot, the stock recovery gets Back. Any ideas?
Just Reflash twrp via flashify or adb in fastboot mode, that could be normal if u r flash an unmodified stock rom
Yep. On latest ob-Oos or H2o for me recovery stays, after instaltion of the rom. But on a second reboot, stock recovery shows and i reflash custom recovery again.
Guys I flashed latest H2OS beta over OOS Beta18 and lost access to recovery. These are the steps I followed, please help.
1. Backup current ROM (OB18)
2. Dirty Flash New H2OS version
3. Flash recovery image again
4. Reboot system
ROM booted without any problems and all my data is present but I lost access to TWRP.
Solution attempted: Reboot to fastboot and flash recovery image again, the process is successful but still TWRP is not coming up.
Please help. Thanks in advance
Stock rom always over writes recovery best way to get it to stick is flash stock zip than twrp reboot to twrp and reboot or flash mods/root

How to Update Rooted Oneplus 5T to 5.1.2?

I do have an idea on how to do it i just want some clarification.
I will lose the TWRP and Root on the process right? If so can someone tell me a step by step guide on updating? And dirty flashing at the same time? The do's and dont's. Thanks!
You are currently in which build? Beta to stable is not recommended.
Btw, I am using bluspark recovery and it survived dirty flashes for me. Else no worries after system boots, boot to bootloader later and flash twrp image again.
Im on stable build should i trust the OTA that has been downloaded on the phone update itself or just use the zip file and flash it via twrp instead? Thanks
Download zip file
Flash it in TWRP and DON'T REBOOT YET
flash Magisk in TWRP
Reboot
Done
At least that's what I did and the root is still here

Oneplus 5T root problem

Hello all If any one can help me ,
I was rooted running rooted stock oxygen os before on my Oneplus 5T
after flashing Oxygen OS 5.1.4 Full Zip my phone is not rooting it gets in initial oneplus logo and freeze there without loading OS
Phone is working fine after Flashing Oxygen OS 5.1.4 Full Zip without any issue its not booting after flashing either SuperSu or Magisk
Steps which I follow are
1 Flash custom recovery I have tried both Codeworkx TWRP | Blu_Spark
2 after flashing recovery boot in to recovery flash Supersu or magisk
3 reboot
when I reboot if i Flash supersu it stuck on oneplus logo, If i flash magisk it reboot itself to fastboot so Os is not loading at all.
I have to flash full Zip again every time to get it working but then I dont have root access.
I have tried at least 10 times with different even old versions of magisk and supersu with out any success.
Is there any particular recovery or different version of magisk or superuse I need to flash?
your help will be really appreciated.
Try a different approach. Instead of installing recovery, just get phone rooted first. There is a way where you can boot into twrp (without installing it), and then flash magisk/supersu zip. If your phone is rooted, then you can install twrp later (or keep oem recovery)
This is how you boot into twrp (or any recovery): fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Let me know how it goes.
As you said boot to recovery without installing it.
One problem currently I am installing recovery and flashing root. After that phone is not booting up in to OS it stuck on oneplus logo. Then I have to force off phone boot in to recovery and flash full os zip to get it working. I can boot in to TWRP because my os didn't load. Now if I use your method and flash root file and if phone won't boot to os that means I won't be able to boot in to TWRP again to flash full os zip to get phone working atleast without root. Any idea?
Huh, frankly I have no idea why you are facing this menace. I can just give two suggestions.
1. Try with older, more stable versions of TWRP and Magisk
2. Get yourself a custom ROM, most ROM's will work flawlessly after flashing root files
Hope for the best!
I usually switch from OpenBeta to LOS and back again. Here's how I switch back to OpenBeta (steps should work for official OOS):
1) Back everything on internal storage up. This one's important
2) Boot into official OOS recovery
3) Wipe EVERYTHING (this is why you need to follow Step 1)
4) Sideload the version of OOS you want. The instructions will be right there on the recovery screen
5) Boot into Fastboot and flash TWRP
6) Flash Magisk and (optional) Xposed
