Hi all, I'm currently running miui EU rom 11.0.11 with bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. However there are so many different twrp recoveries available all with different things working....
So far I've only flashed one rom since I've got the phone but with all these amazing looking custom ROMs around, I'd like to try out a few but it seems backup and restore is currently not possible.
TLDR: anyone know of a TWRP with working backup for Xiaomi redmi note 9s CURTANA?
Cheers

You should use the latest recovery version available, I think now is the OrangeFox recovery, it's the unified (miatoll) version. To can make backup, the recovery need to able to handle the encryption installed by ROM. To restore the backup... another challenge. I using only data backup and when want to restore, I wipe data, flash the rom, wait for first boot (set same pin code as used in backup), than restore the data in recovery. In case of unlucky situation (encryption difference between "restored" and previous rom, the rom stuck at first boot and need to format data partition (will delete internal storage too!!).
I use ofox recovery, having stock rom in an sd card and migrate backup I just flash new rom and when I want to come back, I flash stock and restore migrate. Nandroid backups are a bit risky I think.

It depends on a lot of factors.
What ROM, what TWRP version, what partitions did you back up, etc.
If you want to get your phone working, you can flash any ROM of your choice from TWRP or restore stock image.

TWRP Version is the last one (I think). I backup every partition so I made a full backup of everything. The rom Is the simple aosp. I very want back all my stuff

Backing up all the partitions was the mistake.
Getting your stuff back looks difficult.
If you flash ROM using TWRP, your media files and anything stored on your phone won't be deleted.
But all your apps and stuff will be lost.
I've flashed many ROMs, recoveries over the years but now seems I have to learn some basics all over again. RN5 AI (ARB4) with unlocked bootloader. Have latest official TWRP img.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img in fastboot? Is this all there is to it? Or do I have to jump through new hoops and barrels to get the job done with ARB4?
Much thanks.

Thanks, but then another question arises re use of TWRP to backup and restore ROMs. If I backup my current 9.5.19 (system, data, etc) and try different ROMs, will I be able to restore it without issue?
I have my A2 Lite rooted and running POSP Andorid 10. TWRP is installed and the phone is decrypted. I am able to make nandroid backups. If I switch ROMs and want to go back to POSP, when I restore the nandroid backup will I need to switch slots?
Also, if the phone gets borked for whatever reason and I restore the backup, will I again need to switch slots?

No need to switch slots. TWRP restores to the current active slot.
Since there are more and more ROMs with custom vendor I also backup and restore vendor img. Not only vendor but the image, otherwise it didn't work for me.
For context, I want to clear up a few things before trying to root so I don't end up bricking the phone.
So after reading a few threads it seems even recovering via twrp is messed up in this phone. Can someone shed some light on this matter?
Can I restore system, data, and boot partitions via twrp in case something goes wrong (while staying on official miui roms everytime, I don't intend to install custom roms) and I have to revert the phone back to the state it was in at the time of a backup?
It feels like at the very least we would be required to re-flash the entire firmware via mi flash tool and then restore whatever is needed via twrp later. Will this work?
Also I hear using twrp to install the official firmware is not a good idea, what's that about?
I know long post and a lot of questions, so please bear with me.
Thanks.
Custom ROMs and Stock ROMs differ in one aspect, which partitions are left untouched. Since stock ROM is a lot more invasive and formats all partitions, official flash method is recommended.
When you mess things up, mi flash tool is safest option. Its safe to experiment, backup, restore on boot+system+data in TWRP across ROM installs but don't mess up recovery partition. Remember to format data between ROM installs unless dirty flashing on same android version

Hello
I have a Redmi K30 5G running MIUI by xiaomi.eu (V12.5.7.0.RGICNXM stable - Android 11) with TWRP 3.5.2_10-5 by hadenix.
I am wishing to update rom to xiaomi.eu (V13.0.1.0.SGICNXM stable - Android 12).
Before doing so i wish to take the precaution of making a backup of the phone in case something goes wrong during the update and I need to roll back.
I am not interested in rooting the phone.
What is the best (safest) way to do this?
Am I correct in stating the best way to do this is using my TWRP?
I am considering using the TWRP backup method (something I have never done before).
Most of the online methods show System, Data & Boot as the necessary partitions required to be backed up/restored to roll back the phone.
Is that correct?
In my TWRP I cannot see the System partition listed in the BACKUP partitions.
Yet I can see the system partition listed in the MOUNT partitions.
So I am unsure where to go from here.
I am hoping someone out there has knowledge on this backup/restore procedure (for K30 5G with TWRP 3.5.2_10-5 by hadenix) and can assist.
Thanks.

Backup/Restore will not work with TWRP.
Try with:Micloud,Miphone assistant,Google or third-party apps.
But in general the update goes well using the script included in the zip:windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat

Thanks for the reply!
In the past I have backed up with MIUI and Google but I am keen to explore the TWRP option as my understanding is that this is a more complete backup. There are guides online showing how to do this, so i am curious as to why you say that "Backup/Restore will not work with TWRP."?

Android 11 to 12.

Thanks for the reply! I take your point.
But in this instance I would be restoring an Android 11 backup with TWRP (TWRP works for Android 11).
Even though I would be restoring the Android 11 backup over an Android 12 rom using TWRP, would that not work?
What would be the reasons that this wouldn't work?
I am trying to learn how all of this stuff works!
Thanks for your advice so far.

Twrp for android 12 Cannot decrypt data
System is different
The backup works but not the restore, now you can try with the last TWRP A12, I had tried with the penultimate one.

"Twrp for android 12 Cannot decrypt data" - Got it. Thanks! Now I understand.
