Hi, new to the forum and new with flashing android. Got some troubles when trying flashing my Mi Max Helium.
I successfully installed TWRP 3.0.2-0 (From http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-touch-recovery-t3388073) on Mi Max Helium (locked bootloader), then booted to TWRP and flashed the latest official v8.1.3.0 global ROM. However, Mi Max stuck on Mi Logo after reboot.
I flashed with a mod ROM (Helium Global 8.0.3.0 Stable Rooted (10-13-16) by ajsmsg78, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/rom-miui-8-global-t3439698) and successfully rebooted. The system automatically downloaded v8.1.3.0 global ROM, but TWRP kicked in during system restart which resulted in update failed.
Just don't understand why flashing mod ROM succeeded but official one not, and how can I update to the latest ROM? ajsmsg78 has mod the latest ROM but it seems having some glitches and I don't want to use it.
Thanks.
hi richard few things to keep in mind while flashing
1)the only way to flash official rom (miui firmware) on a locked bootloader would be to put phone in edl mode(press vol up+ vol down+ pwr btn simultaneously on pwr of condition) and flash thru miflashtool beta using fastboot files. this is regardless in which rom ur on presently custom cm/globe/mod miui.
2)ota update can happen only when ur on official firmware that too.global stable to global stable r chinese stable to chinese stable.similarly with developer roms
so if u want to to get to official firmware.first download the required files: miflashtool and setup on pc.download fastboot firmware (files end with .tgz extension.extract twice u end up with folder contain some files and folder named images).now point to the folder containing extracted files.check"clean all option" at bottom right of miflash window. put phone in edl mode and flash the firmware.u will lose twrp recovery and root.

It works!
After flashing a rom then press reboot system, if you see messeage, "No OS installed", you just need to flash superSU to let it mount your system again, that's all
My bootloader is unlocked.
After installing PIE update to MIUI Global 10.3.1.0 Stable, when I try to boot OrangeFox recovery ver. R9.0-2 for Whyred using fastboot command "fastboot boot recovery.img" in CMD ( the result is shown below), the phone does NOT boot in OrangeFox recovery. It just remain stuck on MI logo after booting ...
C:\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.951s]

Kindly advise on how to resolve the issue
Did you temporarily deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature with
>fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
where you will find the dummy.img in the official download of the Xiaomi firmware before trying to boot into recovery?
This needs to be done in the same fastboot-session that you want to boot into recovery.

Many thanks for the advice. Worked like a charm. :good:
No, I did NOT deactivate the Anti-Rollback-Feature which was causing the problem.
In the past, whenever I installed custom recovery on my device including the first time, I did NOT have to flash dummy.img as my device booted into custom recovery without flashing dummy.img.
P.S.: I used dummy.img from this thread:

ONLY IF you have Unlocked-Bootloader, then you can use this MIUI Flashing Guide- Method 2: Fastboot Update to unbrick your device.
Please carefully chose the firmware version (Global / India) to download the fastboot stock ROM for your device.

Great that it solved your problem!
As addendum: The Anti-Rollback (afaik) has to be disabled every single time the recovery is changed/updated. This caught me off guard as I wanted to update TWRP from within the offical TWRP app. This failed and made my recovery unusable (Although I could still normally boot into system).
So let this be a cautionary tale to people.
I can't boot to my custom recovery in my redmi note 5. it is booting to the original recovery. I tried TWRP and REDWOLF recoveries . It will boot in the first time, then I reboot my phone after that when I reboot, it is booting to the original recovery. Same happened when I tried RED WOLf recovery. Pls help me.

You might do something wrong on miflash tool. Retry but I never used this
It's possible to flash global on cn if bootloader is unlocked.
BTW why not flashing orangefox twrp and flash miui with it ? Xiaomi.eu or any other modded miui ?

When you flashed global rom with tool you needed to choose option to only wipe data but you chose flash and lock hence stuck in EDL mode now. Need to have someone with permissions remove it but it take you to open back off phone and do test point. I did same thing as you guys and found a guy you got my phone back. It's an easy error to make and it's why phone will go to fastboot when try to boot. You needed to change option. Try unlock bootloader as if flash work it will boot then when bootloader unlocked
If your bootloader is still unlocked then check the version of global rom your flashing as need a fastboot version not recovery
have you solved your issue?

Hi there,
I encountered the same issue. I tried to flash some CN Rom without enough research, without knowing that you can't just flash an Android 10 rom from 9 directly by recovery (even TWRP). So I ended up Fastboot or TWRP but never able to boot into system. Fortunately I didn't flash my Max3 by fastboot rushly, so my phone was still unlocked.
This is how I solved it:
1. Download an official CN ROM (the below I used is MIUI 11 with Android 9.9.x);
I can't post link here but search "miui通过线刷升级" - you shall see a miui.com link ending with shuaji-393.html. That's the page I download the Mi Max3 ROM from.
2. Use MiFlash to flash the official ROM with the flash option "clean all", NOT "clean All and lock";
3. The phone shall reboot into system, give it 5-10 minutes;
4. Flash the miui.eu ROM you like (DO make sure it is Android 9 tho) by recovery (tutorial given under every official xiaomi.eu ROM download).
Again it's easy to search
It took me less than an hour to do it (I don't have much experience with new XiaoMi phone). So don't worry about bricking your phone forever.
Hope it helps to destress
So I want to root my Xiaomi mi a2 lite, because of it I want to install custom rom, but there is one problem:
while going in twrp recovery (using adb booting command) it gets error : 1; it says : "to flash additional zips please reboot recovery to switch to the update slot"
however, it only happens when I want to flash custom rom (tried 3 different roms), when trying to flash a custom recovery or ForcedEncryptionDisablerDaisy it flashes successfully.
any solutions?
some information :
it's my 3rd time flashing the custom rom on this device:
1) the first one was using the "classic method" (with twrp recovery)
2) the second one was when I got stuck in the bootloader and used XiaoMiFlash application for flashing.
i face the same problem
I have oneplus 7 and have the same issue

same problem here im wasting so much time triying to figure out how to repait the partitions or something, because somehow I had a partition B and now doesnt exist lol.
Hey, mates!
Anyone able to solve this?
I flashed TWRP and Magisk successfully, but every time I try to flash a custom rom it gives me the message "to flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot".
I'm on a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, btw.
Thanks in advance for any help!
ATTENTION!
I found a solution to the problem, all you need is just to install another recovery, I installed Orange FOX. And you know what? Everything worked. So just install via SD card Orange FOX and be happy!
Thank you, your Yasude!
My phone: XIAOMI Redmi note 10
OF does slot switching automatically? I managed once boot and install OF, wipe, flash SYberia, change slot, anti encryption and magisk, reboot to system. Unfortunately never work with lineage. But OF has options disable encryption and some measures against (i dont like them - own ota recoveries which always make a mess)
LOS dmesg complaints about damaged GPT and cant find many files even after edl flashing with original FW.
just install orange fox
I successfully unlocked my bootloader, then I tried flashing the twrp by following munchy's tutorial from YouTube (as someone recommended here). I also used the twrp recovery file he provided in the description, by using the latest platform tools from the official website. It was going pretty good. I even got the TeamWin logo, and also loaded up the twrp interface, and was able to navigate through it. But the problem was my internal storage wasn't showing up. So I booted back to my system normally to see If I can find a solution. Then I think I tried again after restarting to see if it fixes itself, but the same problem was persisting. The next time when I tried again, I used the latest twrp version which I downloaded from the official twrp website.
But since my 3rd attempt, I am not able to see any TeamWin recovery come up on my phone, when I connect I do the "fastboot boot (twrp filename)" command in cmd. When I do the command, nothing shows up. The device remains in the Fastboot mode, or just turns off. When I switch it back on, It turns on normally and boots into the phone without any issues, and I can use it. I've tried switching back to the original twrp version munchy used in the above linked video, but same result.
What did I do wrong here? How do I make my phone get into the twrp recovery when I enter the fastboot boot (twrp filename) command thru my PC? How do I make my Internal Storage available to view int he TWRP recovery so I can install it from my Downloads folder? I am on MIUI 14.0.4 If that helps. My end goal is to install Magisk.
Any tips/guides/suggestions are appreciated.
Installing TWRP and root does not erase your data.
Remove security from the lock screen. (decryption).Normally the latest TWRP decrypts the data.
Install Platform tools ,put the TWRP in the folder and run the commands from the folder.
TWRP SKK, Use A12 if your system is in A12/A13 if system A13.
Rename it to twrp.img
CMD
fastboot boot twrp.img
Powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current TWRP"
If offered, both slots.

Thank you. I had put backed the screen lock after the first 2 attempts because someone said to to that on a YT video after they faced the same problem. Now I tried again by removing the screen lock and the latest twrp for my device also boots up just fine. Now the problem Is I still can't access my internal storage .
Still having removed the screen security?
Which rom(fullname)?
Which TWRP?
Try to mount storage.

Yes, I removed the screen security, though I can enter TWRP, I can't read the internal storage. MIUI 14.0.4.
I just watched a YT video where the dude does the following:
-TWRP Recovery
- Wipe
- Format Data
- Types 'yes'
then
-TWRP Recovery
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Do not Install
After coming back to recovery after rebooting, he gets a pop up, which at the swipe says "Swipe to allow for modifications" which he swipes, then now after checking the Internal Storage, It's readable now. Is this a possible solution?
Twrp A13, obviously if you don't want to keep the data.
Twrp/wipe format data type yes/reboot TWRP.
If error red lines, reboot TWRP and repeat the operation.
Sideload roms or use OTG.

what's twrp A13? Also, I just unlocked my bootloader a few hours ago, so my phone has already done a factory reset and i don't have anything to lose except the Magisk APK and .img file in my phone.
But I have a question, will doing the format data just do a factory reset, or will I lose my ROM? Because I'm not trying to install a custom ROM, I just want to Install Magisk as the end goal with my current ROM.
MIUI 14 Android 13 so use this TWRP
plugged the phone into the PC when it is on the TWRP, you will have access to the internal storage. (works on my 12 pro aves twrp A13 Skk).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
I'm using the latest one I could find on the TWRP website for my device. Not aware If it supports Android 13 though as it isn't mentioned on the website. Just asking my prev question, will doing the format data from TWRP just do a factory reset, or do I lose the ROM and will have to install a custom ROM?
second question I forgot to ask in my prev post, after i do the format data and put the Magisk APK and twrp img file again on my device, will my device stay decrypted as I formatted the data, or will the problem persist?
sorry If i sound dumb

Use this TWRP(officiel).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
thank you, this is the one I was looking for. Sorry to bother you again, now I installed the Magisk V26.1 apk from TWRP. And when I boot back to system and try opening the magisk manager, this happens. It says downloading, forever. I think I shouldn't have directly downloaded the latest version. So probably have to downgrade it a bit. For that, what will I have to do?
Can I just hold the Magisk icon, and uninstall it simply like any other app? Or do I have to do it from the TWRP? Also, Is it necessary for me to uninstall it before downgrading, or can I just download the apk of older magisk version and flash it from twrp just like I did previously?
It was on my first post.

Hm ok.
Welp for me on AOSP, it works nicely. I flash a new build (or two) every week. Backup/Restore works as should. UI is nice and modern, imo better than TWRP. That's why I'm recommending it.
Haven't heard anyone saying that they can't view Phone storage on OrangeFox.
Hi,
@NOSS8 , I'd like to ask : I've only some hours to wait to unlock the BL. But one question, as it's yet the stock rom (FW V13.0.11.0, A12), wich twrp should I use ? I want to install a A13 rom (that supposes FW V 14.xxx !)
So :
- fastboot boot twrp (but wich one ?? A12 or 13 ?? ; skkk ? Or ?) (+ "flash current twrp" OR "install it in ramdisk"?)
- reboot recovery
- flash FW V14.xxx
- flash rom
- format data
- reboot system
- flash magisk (last version ? Seems to be 'big' changes ?)
- flash what I need (V4A, DFE (??), ....)
What do you think ?
Thanks a lot ! Main question is about what version of twrp.. Help will be very appreciated !

Instead, use Miflash with a Fastboot rom, you can extract the boot img for root.(don't re lock the bootloader).
You can root without TWRP, but according to this thread, if you root you lose the TWRP and vice versa, I don't know if this is still relevant.(I don't have this device).
If you need ,install the TWRP A13 after flashing the A13.

I'm very greatfull for your quick reply ! Thanks
The device is too a Poco f3, sorry.. This doesn't need to flash magisk for twrp to stick (I had another one I've broken)
But I don't understand what's the advantage to first flash a fastboot rom..? As you say to flash twrp would loose root and vice versa... (I've read the thread you're talking about ofox)
So I wanted to go trough +- the way I mentionned, as A13 as well as ofox 'seems' to work (but I'm carefull with that twrp on stock MIUI A12, and I never used ofox..)
So you do think it's a bad idea ?? The rom I want to flash is crdroid.
I'm more lost now ...
Thanks again !
