TWRP installing problem? - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, as you can read i have a lot of problems installing TWRP on my RN8PRO Begonia. The problem is that when i go into fastboot and i install TWRP via CMD, i try to restart the phone into recovery but always goes in bootloop without actually going in recovery. Anyone had a problem like this? i've tried with multiple versions of TWRP but nothing worked. I tried doing this like 10 times but never worked. Do you know any tip to make me go 100% sure into recovery mode? Or maybe is there another way besides the power and volume+ buttons combination? Thanks in advance!!

You need to disable AVB. check this link. Also, did you read the megathread and flashed the preloader?

[Q] Recovery mode won't boot? Everything else works

Hello everyone. This is my first post, but I've been lurking around for a while, I hope I'm not messing up anywhere.
So, I have this problem with my Gio. Yesterday, I decided to try and install CyanogenMod 9. It is the first time I tried to install a rom on my phone, and I read everything carefully, to avoid doing anything stupid. I had rooted my phone before, it was rather easy, since I'm not a computer illeterate, although it is my first smartphone, and I was never into this kind of things.
Well, carrying on to my problem: So, I was reading Maclaw's thread on Cyanogenmod 9, and after reading it, I started following his tutorial.
I installed Clockworkmod v2 from recovery mode, everything went smoothly and I rebooted my phone. I then tried to install the Cyanogenmod 9, but I couldn't get back to the recovery mode for some reason. Everytime I tried to boot it, it would just boot the phone, and show the "Samsung" thing it shows up at the start, and stay there.
I tried googling around for people with this issue, but found nothing. I then tried to look for issues related to CWM, and found out that it requires my phone to be at least in 2.3.3, but mine is at the stock version 2.2.1... I had no knowledge of this before I tried it, and now I'm kinda stuck. My phone still works, I can do everything with it if I boot it normally, nothing seems to be broken, apart from recovery mode not loading.
Anyone else has had this or heard of someone having this?
Any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Hold power+home+ volume down
To enter download mode
Download odin and look for a tutorial, and flash the clockworkmod recovery, the one that is a .tar.md5 can be flashed via odin

I was just reading about that, and figured it was a good idea, thanks for confirming it to me
Will try it out and post later if it worked, thanks.
EDIT: It worked, thanks for the tip!
Also, if anyone is still reading this, I did the factory reset and all, is my phone still rooted or do I need to re-do it?

Boot it holding the volume up button. This should get you into so-called "recovery" where you can, among other things, restore it to defaults.
If recovery also doesn't work (which would be unusual), boot it holding volume DOWN button. This will get you into a "download" mode where you can use ODIN to flash new recovery (such as CWM recovery which is very nice and powerful), or even flash entire firmware from scratch.
Good luck, let us know how it goes ~
[edit] oh and do all that while having it connected to USB power, in case the battery is empty.
still doesnt work

Anything doesn't work , When I boot while holding HOME and volume up (recovery) appears the blue advice in the upper left corner and about 2 segs after the cellphone restart again, again and so on, When I boot with the down (download) the process on kies working good but when ends the cellphone restart again, again and so on. I'm start to think that something in the hardware is damage :crying:
looks like you messed something up there...
Anyway, if your phone is rooted, and/or you don't care about warranty you can get it in download mode (you said it works fine with kies until reset, so I suppose it means that download mode is at least accessible).
And after that use Odin to reinstall the stock rom completely.
Or, again with Odin install custom recovery, and then whatever ROM you like.
While working with odin, be sure to stick to the guides here on XDA. (for a custom recovery see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980)

If you're not entirely stock you'll have trouble using Kies.
I myself had trouble when tried to revert to stock ROM from CM.
It failed to restore NANDroid backup every time, and I also didn't succeed in flashing the stock image with Odin as well.
In the end, I succeeded with this ROM (which is modified stock TW), usin ODIN. You can try this, just read and understand the instructions in the thread before you do anything.
Ironically, after a couple of days after reverting to stock rom I was so annoyed by the speed decrease compared to CM, that I reinstalled CyanogenMod back, found TouchWiz stuff I missed via separate apps, and I'm pretty happy with it ever since.
Bottom Line: anyways, if you already on custom stuff with altered warranty, you must get custom recovery working first, then it will be simple.

[Q] I am in desperate need of help.

Here's the dealio. I'm a retard. And now I need help.
I tried installing the Paranoid Android rom to my Z1 Compact. But instead of using fastboot flash thingy I just put the zip on my SD-card as I have always done on my S3. After the installation of course failed in TWRP Recovery I tried rebooting the phone. But now it is just black. If I hold down the power button it just keeps vibrating every other second or so. And I can't get it in to recovery mode. I can't hold down the factory reset button. I can't do a hard reset. The only thing I can get to work is fastboot thing where the LED turns blue.
Please help me. Please?:good:
I found the solution myself. Thank you if you even considered helping out! I don't know how to delete this thread so I wouldn't mind an admin doing so
You could try to flash the stock rom using Sony's Flash Tool...
EDIT: Seems you have already found out yourself. Maybe you could share your solution for future users?

Yea. I don't know why didn't to begin with.
SOLUTION: As I still was able to put my phone into fastboot mode and flashmode I just did exactly what you said. Put it in flashmode and flashed a stock rom.

Bricked!

I have a unlocked bootloader EVR-AL00 that has been bricked for awhile now. TWRP is stuck on load screen on erecovery and recovery. I have tried everything to get it to work. I can get to the bootloader screen and flash from Hstool, Funkyhuawei, ADB and Hisuite but it always goes back to the TWRP load screen and stays there. TWRP crashed on me back then and now it seems EMUI is gone forever. Any new tricks out there that might work? Please help if you can! Thank you!

After flash Stock Recovery can boot into Erecovery?
Power off wait for 10 seconds
Press and hold Volume up and put in the usb cable.
Hold Volume up until you start the Erecovery

There is only one wat I came back from the TWRP cycle of death.
I followed the steps for the side load in the OP of this thread. The bottom of the first post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/fw-emui-9-1-0-123-evr-al00-t3935995
The update is listed and can be renamed (I used the 123 update_full_base.zip)
The nocheck.img was a challenge, but I found one in a TWRP backup I had done and save off. Doing a search of XDA later I see that there is also versions in the Mate 20 pro and Mate 10 forums.
Now I have a normal eRecovery, but I cannot obtain root and the recovery StockAL00, magiskAL00 amd newer images changed in bootloader don't seem to make a difference.

Damn, that's worse than I had it. I don't know if there is a way to HStool or modified HiSuite take a ROM update, which would return you to regular eRecovery.
I'm hoping that can work if you can Fastboot from bootloader through those steps or HiSuite recovery.
With my crazy sideload I cannot root, I get prompted for updates constantly (with updates set off) and HStool & HiSuite didn't work. Since I don't have root cannot do ENMUI flasher.

To bad there's not a patch for TWRP...
I know there are some smart people out there that could tell me how to un-brick my phone
@ajsmsg78 is the smartest one I know on here. He has flashed stock, RR, etc... I bought his phone so he doesn't have one anymore but maybe he knows how to help you.

I spent some time in pm trying to help him but the phone still won't do what it's supposed to. I think he needs to do a data format but he can't get into twrp to do it and Huawei blocks a lot of adb commands.

[DISCUSSION] Galaxy A10s successfully rooted! (SM-A107M)

Rooting A10s with Magisk [Very Early Root]​
Hello community. I wanted to post my progress on trying to root this device and maybe was hoping for some pointers.
Unfortunately the steps are somewhat complicated, especially since we don't have a custom recovery.
Would appreciate some of the more experienced developers if you could give me a hand, since my knowledge is very very limited (don't know how to compile my own custom recovery, have 0 knowledge on even using git hub lmao)
Thanks for reading, here's what I got so far
Things to know about the A10s​
It is a System As Root device
It is an AB device (after Android 10 update)
It has no custom recovery as of yet
The process may also work for the F variant
The process I used to root with Magisk is here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Special thanks to @topjohnwu for his very detailed guide
Ok and now well, to explain where I'm currently stuck. The final step to finish installation off is to reboot to stock recovery and wipe data. I'm guessing that this will fix the signal problem I have, but can't know for sure until I try. The problem with that is that topjohnwu states as follows:
We now want to boot into the stock recovery to factory reset our device.
Full data wipe is mandatory! Do not skip this step.
Press Power + Volume Down to exit download mode. As soon as the screen turns off, immediately press the combo key to boot to recovery (e.g. on the S10 it is Power + Bixby + Volume Up). Since we want to boot into stock recovery, continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
Use volume buttons to navigate through the stock recovery menu, and the power button to select an option. Choose Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The problem here is that no matter how hard I try, I can't boot to stock recovery
I can boot the device as follows
System+No magisk (signal works here)
System+Magisk (RIL broken)
However I simply can't boot to stock recovery. Apparently I need to leave the VOL + button pressed and keep it pressed but it's simply not doing anything. Even using adb to reboot to recovery and holding the VOL + button since it even shuts down is not doing anything.
I don't know where to go from here, I simply can't boot to stock recovery
Would really like to know suggestions
Thanks for reading!
Currently I am hosting a Telegram group for anybody that wants to follow development as it progresses. But for questions, please keep them here on XDA
Link: https://t.me/a107X
I managed to boot to stock recovery by pressing power vol down and plugging usb in at the same time I think.
Update: Well, I flashed stock recovery with Odin. Managed to boot directly to recovery, wiped data and immediately flashed the magisk patched recovery. However this still did not fix the broken signal problem, as I expected. The search for a fix is still on.
you should follow topjohnwu's instructions for samsung devices..
edit: maybe you are, they are included in the link you posted but youre not specific in the steps youre taking for others to help you.
you could also im sure follow same steps as F variant id think but dont blame me for troubles lol

Yeah I'll try that method in due time. But I'm really in no hurry since I've got root anyway and I just use it from time to time, so I just reboot to system+magisk only when I need to and just boot system normally every other time.

Hey op, did you flash magisk with odin using patched file? if you did, could you share your patched file and the firmware version you used? Odin keeps failing when i try to patch.

I think I'll have some time this weekend, I'll try to put a in-depth tutorial with all the files required.
But, can you tell me the error you get on Odin and/or any error messages on your phone?
By the way, the signal problem has been reported on other occasions.
It seems to be a problem on this Mediatek SoC

topjohnwu seems to have just brushed it off so it doesn't seem like it's going to get fixed anytime soon

Just keep trying, and leave the VOL + button pressed even after it reboots. I remember last time I rooted, it took me approximately 4 or 5 attempts to finally get bootloader unlocked. Keep doing it until you can finally see the message that your bootloader is unlocked.
