Hey guys, I'm having a problem.
I've installed the Miui 10 8.7.12 Global Beta and all is well, however i want to install TWRP so I can root and uninstall some Xiaomi apps still on the phone. However whenever I try to install TWRP via fastboot there are a few problems I face.
1) I flash twrp.img and its fine then I do fastboot reboot with volume up + power to go into recovery, but instead of taking me to TWRP, or even the stock recovery it keeps going back into fastboot mode.
2) When I try another method with adb reboot recovery it says device not found
3) If I try and directly go into recovery with fastboot boot twrp.img it restarts the phone and goes into the mi screen and nothing happens from there.
I've tried every possible combination I can think of and made sure I downloaded the proper TWRP from the official website and it still isn't working. Any input?
*EDIT*
I managed to figure it out! SORRY!!! Delete pls!
What was the problem?
how you solved ?
you got the anti rollback ?
You should boot phone with twrp.img like this. Don't reboot.
fastboot boot twrp.img
Then format data.

If you didn't format data, firmware may reinstall stock recovery after reboot.

Hi guys after installing miui pro miui 10 Oreo , my twrp become blank screen , i try to install using cmd , and i try to boot using cmd also didn't work , help me this .
I have managed till installing twrp, however it seems like all the downloaded rom files and decrypt.zip are encrypted. I tried to copy 'em to the internal storage again but as I boot to twrp it again goes to encrypted mode. In Twrp, I tried to enable the MTP and copy files directly but it always fails. How do I go from here?? Please help!
Phone : MI mix 2
bootloader : unlocked
Twrp : installed
Twrp variant: Dwight twrp
Rom : Pixel Experience/ RR/ HAVOC etc

orange twrp ? could you tell me where can I get it?
My 2 cents:
If you can still boot whatever OS you have right now, back up things you need (including internal storage), then format /data. Reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want, optionally DecScript to switch to unencrypted data after next boot. OrangeFox recovery is not necessary but its UI could be seen as intuitive to some.

I can boot in Twrp and Miui10 OS too. I want to install custom rom, but the rom.zip files turns out encrypted when booting up in Twrp. while being in Twrp I tried to transfer " unencrypted rom.zip " files in my PC to internal storage to flash it but I can't transfer it even after enabling MTp in Twrp.
How do I install the rom is my problem. Shall I wipe data, cache? and then how?

So you're seeing the storage as encrypted (garbled content)? I never actually used encrypted data so I don't know for sure, but Wight's TWRP might not be able to decrypt MIUI's /data, so IMO you do need to format (not wipe) /data. You might also need to reboot to recovery once after that, so that the storage is recognized properly by PC.

Thanks. ok I will factory reset the phone reboot to twrp. Im using Mi phone for the first time, so i was scared that might locked the bootloader again. it wont relock the bootloader would it? guess im asking too many stupid questions. I never had to go thru this kinda situation on my samsung devices. Thanks for helping

Boot into TWRP and select Wipe and then Select the Format Data button.
Make sure you're not sliding to factory reset or advance wiping.
NOTE: This will erase all the information from the phone including internal storage. Make a backup prior this process.
After you're done, you can connect the phone to a PC while on TWRP to copy the rom zip files to internal storage and flash them. A backup from TWRP is highly recommended just in case.

Hey! It works! I'm enjoying LOS16 on mi mix 2.
My problems :
1. Booting to Recovery Twrp :
only thru fastboot mode > fastboot boot twrp.img, Mi inbuilt recovery prevent me to boot to twrp.
Is there any way to go to twrp by just pressing buttons?
2. Flashing magisk/Universal_Decrypt.Zip Bootloops

1- There are multiples ways to reboot to recovery:
Buttons combination: Turn the phone off and press Power + Volume Down and it will boot to recovery.
Apps (root required): There are multiples apps that has a option to reboot to recovery directly. Search something like advance reboot on Play Store.
adb (USB debugging required): Running the command "adb reboot recovery" from terminal will reboot the phone into recovery.
2- To flash magisk, first flash the rom and gapps and reboot to system, finish the initial setup and then reboot to recovery and flash the magisk zip file. Next reboot will take a few minutes.
Edit: The universal decrypt file is not necessary since the data partition is no longer encrypted.

Yes i agree. The thing is Mi has its own recovery, thats preventing me from going to twrp directly, (even though) twrp is properly installed. if i press the button combination it will go to the "Miui inbuilt recovery" Not to twrp. so i go the fastboot mode and boot to Twrp recovery thru adb command. If only I could suppress inbuilt recovery and boot to twrp recovery it would be great. Apps like "boot to recovery" only initiate booting in recovery. It fails to choose Twrp because there are two recovery inside.
In my previous devices, honor 8pro n Samsung 8+ this wasnt an issue. But with Mi phone...
Does yours boots to Twrp directly with the button combination?

That's means that the TWRP recovery is not installed, there's is just one recovery partition and only one can be installed at the same time.
From fastboot mode run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
That will replace the stock recovery and you will be able to boot to twrp with the button combination and any other app running the reboot recovery command.

I installed Twrp with that command only once. After that, i have been using "fastboot boot twrp.img" only to boot in twrp.
Ok ill try reflashing twrp again with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

Just remove lockscreen protection before rebooting into recovery. You will be fine. Do this before everytime you want something done in TWRP. You won't have to format DATA partition everytime. TWRP will decrypt with default password and you'll be good. I have moved between MIUI 10 and pie roms without trouble this way.

You can just use power + volume up combo to get into TWRP recovery. You don't basically need to fastboot for recovery after it's installed.
I have an 8T, it's the same of 8 only with the Nfc, can i use the ginkgo rom?
If you are referring to the MIUI EU ROM you could try, but it will probably fail and nobody has tried it yet.
The issue is we have no way (yet) to recover the device if will bootloop. We have the full ROM file, but it's a recovery zip: inside the zip I can't find a recovery we could flash in fastboot.
EDIT:
Download this recovery for RN8 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261617206
Extract the file and rename it to recovery.img
Reboot the device in fastboot and run
"fastboot boot [recovery.img]"
This will NOT flash the recovery but only boot it. If it loops, just reboot the device and will be back to normal.

If everything is done correctly, the phone should start booting from the bootleg Redmi Note 8
6. After booting into the system, you can try and experiment with the firmware from RN8.
If you want to return to Redmi note 8T firmware and / or put TWRP and ROOT, then again load the phone in fastbut and continue.

Loading into recovery.
After downloading TWRP, if you want to firmware Redmi note 8T, then do Wipe Data, System and all caches, without closing TWRP, copy to the phone this firmware, flash and boot into the system.
Hi all !!!
so did anyone manage to flash a ROM from the redmi note 8 on the 8T ?
Hi,
I attempted to flash ArrowOS for my Poco F3 2 days ago but I didn't follow the steps correctly. My plan was to unlock bootloader, boot twrp and install ArrowOS. After I tried this, the ArrowOS loadup screen kept on loading for a hour. I rebooted the device and ended up in the ArrowOS recovery. After some times, I tried to flash the MIUI fastboot rom with Mi Flash Tool and I think I chose "clean all and lock." This caused a problem because I became stuck on the fastboot page and when I tried to reboot, it would go to the Poco startup page briefly before jumping back to the fastboot. I've tried to hold the power button and the volume keys but it has no effect. Also, on the Poco page there was no unlocked padlock which was weird because when I first tried to flash ArrowOS I could see the unlocked padlock. When I checked on my computer using Mi Unlock, it showed that my device was unlocked.
I think I did manage to flash fastboot rom for MIUI using XiaomiToolV2 because it said that the installation was complete.
Another problem is that when I boot TWRP with fastboot from my computer, there isn't any internal storage shown after I click the install button. I think this is because I wiped the device with TWRP when I was following various tutorials. When I try to add a file to the internal storage from my computer it shows an empty folder and any files I copy into it isn't shown.
I would be really grateful for any help as I've been trying to fix this problem for 2 days now. Thank you!
I've attached a video of the phone being stuck on fastboot.

Well I don't own that phone but it sounds like you didn't unlock the bootloader properly and your internal storage is encrypted that's why it shows 0 and that's probably why your having problems. Is there an encryption disabler zip? Your supposed to format data and flash an encryption disabler and than magisk v23 on Samsung devices than boot.
Okay, so I've just used the Format Data option in TWRP which says it will remove encryption on internal storage. But this didn't seem to fix any problems

Did you flash a disabler zip? Also is your bootloader locked?
No, I haven't flashed a disabler zip. Where would I download that. I found a XDA download called Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip, would that be it.
My bootloader was unlocked and the Mi Unlock tool still says that it is unlocked, but I don't see an unlocked padlock on the start up page.

sounds like you have indeed locked your bootloader. you can check using fastboot cmd 'fastboot oem device-info'
if it's locked, only thing to do i would guess is to try and flash stock rom (not EU custom rom) and hope for the best, then try to unlock your bl again

Also twrp instructions
Installation:
1. fastboot boot twrp.img
2. copy that same twrp image to the device
3. go to Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk
4. select the image you copied
5. after that is done, if you were using a custom kernel, reflash it now
6. if you were using magisk, reflash it now
7. reboot to recovery, you should now be able to boot TWRP normally using Power+volume up
repeat step 3 and 4 directly after flashing a new rom, then reboot recovery to flash additional stuff
also, if your bl is indeed locked i for sure recommend you HALT all attempts at flashing twrp or any custom rom. you need to focus on trying to get stock fw back on the device and booting
WOW! Thank you guys so much for your help! My bootloader was indeed unlocked and I proceeded with the steps by Techguy777 and it worked perfectly! I now have ArrowOS booting up and I cannot thank you guys enough. I hope you have a great day!

It is because flashing rom also flash the recovery packed along with the rom, and it will replace your old recovery. To prevent it you need to also tick on the reflash ofox option when you flash a rom, which is too late in your case.
So, if you want to reflash ofox recovery, download and extract the zip file, locate the recovery.img in the extracted folder, reboot to bootloader and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img
then reboot to recovery with the command:
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
and your device will temporarily boot into ofox recovery
The last step is to flash the recovery to ramdisk to make it permanently, you can find this option in ofox settings.

Thank you mf this worked! Booting twrp through fastbood just gave me black screen so I didnt think that booting Ofox would be any different but it actually booted Ofox recovery and I flashed it no problem. If anyone's going to attempt this make sure to backup your data before cause you'll need to format data
