Confused about TWRP - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

I got the redmi note 8 gingko 4/64 and wanted to ask which TWRP is actually the "best". Installed the "original" and it seems to work fine, but read here and there that the one of mauronofrio is recommended. What would you suggest?

You mean flashable zip is not shown in internal storage in orangefox menu from where we browse files to flash??

if i flash kernel it works. if i flash magisk for root it works. i mean you boot into OS and kernel is installed and so is magisk. if i flash a zip that has ringtones they dont install they do not show up in phone ringtones or in folder its like its not placing the files to system partition. but if i use official twrp flashable zips do install and show up in phone.. i have tried both oreangefox and pitchblack both wont flash those zips i mentioned.
seems like something got messed up . i was in rn5 whyred using orange fox.. then magisk 20.2 was released anad orangefox got update.. after that update it didnt install those zips.. then another update was released in a day. and still dont flash those zips. at that time i reverted to the old orangefox i had and that one worked.. so last friday i unlocked bootloader and encounter the same as in whyred orangefox doesnt install the zips i mentioned.
strange that no one has reported already.

My experience with self-made (and third party updater-zips) is, that you have to mount the system and vendor partitions manually before you install the updater-zip.
Have you tried this already? For me that's the way it works.

I have read your guide very carefully and thanks for that! Don't get me wrong, but has nothing to do with my question. My device is encrypted and yet there has not been any problems with the original TWRP and encryption or something similar.
My question was if there are any known problems or issues with the original TWRP and is it for that reason necessary to change to another one like Orangefox or the one of @mauronofrio?

Hi..if you read the guide then you might know by now the problem with official twrp is the bootloop in decrypted devices..you can't flash miui OTA with twrp...if you're on encrypted device with twrp then you have to flash full rom...other than that official twrp works just fine

the only differences were the reasons I bought it: much better Camera and two SIMs plus sdcard... that's it and it feels good.

What you have to wipe for flashing this ROM?
Data, System, Vendor, Cache.
All of them, right?

OP3 - Nethunter - "Unpacking boot image failed"

Hi there,
I wanted to install the latest image of Nethunter (found on build.nethunter.com/nightly) but when I install it with TWRP I keep getting the message : "Unpacking boot image failed" in the log screen.
What I did in order:
- Unlock fastboot mode
- Flash TWRP recovery (found on build.nethunter.com/twrp)
- Reboot on TWRP
- Install kernel ( kernel-nethunter-oneplus3-nougat-3.15.4-20170126-2226 )
- Install ROM ( nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-minimal-rolling-3.15.4-20170202-1604 )
- Reboot
It is when I install the rom that I get the error message "Unpacking boot image failed". Even if at the end it says "install completed - Success", it keep loading (with the nethunter loading screen) indefinitely...
I tried many differents versions of TWRP and even different builds of Nethunter, I found nothing on the net, so what should I do ?
Should I post an issue on the kali-nethunter github ?
Hope you have some ideas of what I can try...
However if you need any other information (log file ...), tell me what.

What ROM are you using?
Last time i installed it i was on OOS 3.2.2. You have to flash kernel and then the big file (generic nethunter.....)
Found that in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68451978&postcount=6
It worked perfectly but since 3.2.2 i havent touched it again so not sure what rom is compatible atm

I'm trying with the "nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-minimal-rolling-3.15.4-20170202-1604.zip"
Also tried with the full version, instead of minimal but same result.

I mean version of OOS, not nethunter overlay. See my screenshot. You have to download one of the following kernels depending if you are on MM or nougat. Flash it before flashing the nethunter overlay

Sure. Just give me time to post what i did, currently restoring my nandroid because something went wrong when updating metapackages, so im going to download full version instead of minimal and enable OGT-USB to check if wifite works. I will post the steps asap :good:
meanwhile..... how the **** do i enable usb-otg? i dont find the option in settings/storage/3dot
Good and bad news: OTG does not work (it worked for me on MM) but nethunter runs "well" ... it stucks while rebooting and some weird things more. It runs laggy as well...
Steps and config i have
-Experience ROM v10.1(oos 4.0.2 with some adds) and custom TWRP by blu_spark v14
1-Download these 2 files from https://build.nethunter.com/nightly/3.15.4-20170202-1604/
-kernel-nethunter-oneplus3-nougat-3.15.4-20170202-1604.zip
-nethunter-generic-arm64-kalifs-full-rolling-3.15.4-20170202-1604.zip
2-Reboot to recovery and install nethunter-generic-arm64.....
3-Not sure if you have to reboot and then install kernel but i flashed nethunter+kernel without rebooting to system
4-Reboot to system and open supersu, then open nethunter app and grant superuser permissions
5-Done.
I Dont really know why my external adapter or pendrive are not recognized, because it did in MM with same hardware lol. Maybe now only works with official usb-c adapter, who knows
I will try this when I can, but it is close to what I already did.
I will edit this post when done.
I seen that you used the arm64 version, perhaps the problem is that I use the armhf ?

So, yesterday I messed up my OP3 and wiped all partitions on my phone.
I've tried many steps, trying to flash a flashable stock rom (the one with boot.img and system img) in fastboot, result= installation succeed, but getting blackscreen on boot.
Installing full OOS rom from adb sideload using stock recovery, result= failed (* cannot read 'OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip' *)

So twrp is working right?
Flash any rom say lineage os
Flash multirom by BitOBSessiOn
Flash multirom twrp
Flash oos as secondary rom
And then swap oos to primary rom
try with some other TWRP . May be v16 blu_spark
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
Ye sideboard gives me issues aswell, push the zip and manually flash it In twrp: "adb push romzipname /sdcard/", the file is now ib the folder /sdcard/.

Then it's a twrp issue. I'm currently in Bluspark v16 so
Error 7 in TWRP AFAIK is an issue with using an incompatible recovery, try the latest one 3.0.4-1 I think it is from this forum.

I flash twrp bluspark as @Puddi_Puddin suggested and flashing Freedom OS. After that, I restore my data using my last Nandroid backup, then the bootloop comes again. Tried it several times using TWRP Bluspark with different ROMs, still no luck. So I suggest, there's nothing I can do to restoring my phone's data.
I read across the XDA forums and Oneplus forums that some people had similar issues for me, and they suspected something's wrong about corrupted partition, not because twrp version. And I also had tried flashing a few ROM in the past using the same TWRP 3.03 version without any problems. Strange.
Anyway, problems solved, my phone's up and running.
CASE CLOSED.

[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.
Download: https://filebase.philipp.technology/filebase/index.php?page=Entry&entryID=12
Credits: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/twrp-3-1-1-for-xiaomi-mix-2.41634/
Installation:
Unlock your phone - http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Download TWRP from the link above
Flash over Fastboot
Hope you like it.
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?

custom roms do not boot up

hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that
logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.
so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D
cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:
logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF
logcat 2nd part: https://pastebin.com/qaMFrvxi
dmesg: https://pastebin.com/Gg8bYkJy

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Well it worked for me.
Which custom rom you want to use?
well, it doesnt matter 2 me. the main thing is that it works =D rr, aex, crdroid..

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..
best regards
Don't give up there might be a solution.
Pray to God for some help.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.
yes. i cant b the only 1 facing this problem...!? really. i cant!

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7

Device turns off randomly after root

Hi guys, I rooted my redmi note 8 yesterday. Everything went well except two things: on boot the error message said that "there is an internal problem" and the phone reboots/shuts down itself.
Any thoughts?

You should explain the problem obviously if you want a help, if your phone still working you should flash twerp.img to be able to root it and solve any existing problem by flashing new rom

Hey thanks for answer.
Actually i did everything correctly, flashed latest twrp, tried several roms, oficial, unoficial etc., But still no result. After all these, ive flashed the stock rom which solved the problem but phone is no more rooted. So..

If you still want to root it again,after flasing new rom go to twero and then go to wipe then format,you should format your phone after rom flashing,try this and inform me
Yes yes! I want to root phone once again. So the steps are these:
1) booting into twrp with adb from pc.
2) from the twrp menu wiping and formating the data
3) instaling new rom
Is this true?
Thanks!
If you want to root you don't have to install another custom rom unless you don't like the stock rom. If you like your current stock rom, then flash twrp in fastboot and download the latest magisk stable zip and also diasble dm-verity zip. Using twrp first flash disable dm-verity zip and then magisk zip, wipe dalvik cache and reboot to system, hopefully you would have root permission.

Hey, I was able to flash magical using twrp but can't flash dm-verity. It gives me some error 1 with no description. I could flash magisk. What can the problem be? Thanks!

From your stock rom extract the boot.img and place it on your SD card. Flash the boot image using twrp or you can also flash in fastboot, then reboot. Now boot to twrp recovery and flash dm-verity first and then magisk zip. Worked for me I'm having root permission with stock rom.

i could grant the root permission on stock rom before you wrote this. thank you very much! but i still have a problem with a custom rom as it randomly turns off or reboots the device. strange

UPDATE: after another custom rom install failure, i got back to stock miui 11 with miflash tool. the problem is now that when i unlock the bootloader and try to flash magisk and disable-dm-verity, the system refuses to boot. the redmi note 8 logo is sticked on boot. i dont understand what i am doing incorrectly. if there are any suggestions im ready to try.

Is your bootloader unlocked right now or did you lock it while flashing using miflash tool.

the bootloader was unlocked. everything went kinda fine, until i flashed youtube vanced from magisk: when i did that, the system was unable to boot. i don't know what's happening. is there anything to do with kernel or something? really interesting what i am doing wrong.

I think it may be because of YouTube vanced module. If you remove the module you might be able to boot. In twrp in the advanced option select file manager and then select data/adb/magisk/ in that you will find the list of installed modules, select the one which is causing the problem and delete that folder and try to reboot.

Your device reboots randomly on custom rom because probably it was made for tianma display and you have hauxing display

Hey, thanks for the answer. i've just googled about it and you are right. checked the TP version and it says that i have huaxing display. in the Lineage OS thread the moderator wrote that the next update will fix that bug. hopefully ill be able to install custom rom. also if you know, are there any custom roms for huaxing display? thank you man!

i've tried Lineage OS too and it also has reboot issue. i've checked a thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/derp-kernel-clang-4-4-138-t3804996 that flashing a different kernel when you have flashed a custom rom can fix the problem. idk if its safe to do

that thread is for redmi note 5 pro..and flashing different kernel probably won't solve it because I know few guys flashed genom kernel but still ended up with reboot in huaxing display. Maybe waiting for fix is better.
