Help me understand the whole A/B partitioning format

Can anyone help me understand the whole procedure now that we have A/B partitions? I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and this A/B partition thing kinda complicates things, but I'm sure I have got 80% the gist of it. That being said, I don't have my Pixel XL YET, but I want to be prepared.
1)Enable Developer Options
2)Enable OEM Unlock Bootloader and USB Debugging
3)Boot into bootloader
4)Flash latest factory image downloaded from Google(Android 8.1, January as of this post)
5)Boot into the system and re-enable Developer Options and USB debugging. (I guess OEM Unlock Bootloader will BE enabled by default now)
6)Use a PC with fastboot.exe and type "fastboot boot twrp_name_goes_here.IMG" (this ONLY boots TWRP)
7)Boot into TWRP and wipe /system, /data, /cache and ART.
8)Flash the custom ROM of my choice.
9)Flash the GApps of my choice(I use Aroma OpenGapps)
10)Flash Kernel of my choice.
11)Flash Magisk 15.2 (15.2 as of this post)
12Flash TWRP_name_goes_here.ZIP (So I won't lose TWRP)
13)??????
14)Profit
Do tell me if I made a mistake in the whole process and suggest what I should do instead. The whole A/B partitioning system kinda scares me. xD
I've also come across this kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/kernel-oreo-8-0-exnoshadez-eas-stable-t3709035 that states it doesn't support TWRP. Does it mean that I won't have a custom recovery due to the size of the kernel and I will have to, instead, use a PC every time I want to flash a different ROM and/or Kernel by using the "fastboot boot TWRP_name_goes_here.IMG" command?
Thanks a lot for your time and sorry for this TL;DR post. =D

1)Enable Developer Options
2)Enable OEM Unlock Bootloader and USB Debugging
3)Boot into bootloader
4)unlock boot loader (use command “fastboot flashing unlock) and it's permanent
5)Download latest factory image downloaded from Google and unzip it into your adb platform-tool path
6)Boot into bootloader>use command “fastboot --set-active=b”>now click on “flash-all.bat” in your adb platform-tool path>let it reboot.
6) Do not set your device, just reboot it back to bootloader> use command “fastboot --set-active=a”>now click on “flash-all.bat” in your adb platform-tool path>let it reboot.
5)To flash TWRP download “twrp-3.2.0-0-marlin.img” and “twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.0-0.zip” because as far as I know, twrp 3.2.1 has some decrypting issue. Download them and put “twrp-3.2.0-0-marlin.img” into your pc adb platform-tool path and move “twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.0-0.zip” to internal memory on your phone
6)Boot into bootloader>use command “fastboot boot twrp-3.2.0-0-marlin.img” (this ONLY boots TWRP). In TWRP locate and flash “twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.0-0.zip”
7)Boot in to system and remove your screen lock if you have set up any
8)Download the custom ROM of your choice and compatible GApps and move them in to internal memory on your phone.
9)Boot in to recovery and do a “factory reset” via TWRP> flash custom ROM>flash “twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.0-0.zip”>boot in to system (do not set up screen lock)
10)Boot in to recovery and flash GApps and Magisk 15.2 via TWRP>boot in to system
Please be noted this is for stock based ROMs only. If you to flash AOSP based rom follow this guide after step 9.Please be noted below guide taken from this ROM thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-pixel-xl-marlin-t3725985 and credits goes to "razorloves"
Download latest vender.img (same one in latest factory images).
Flashing Lineage Rom:
a - Go to `Wipe` and swipe to `Factory Reset`
b - Go to `Install` and select the lineage zip file on the device. Swipe to install
c - Go to `Install` and select the TWRP zip file on the device. Swipe to install
d - Go to `Reboot` and take note of the current slot. Then select `Recovery` to reboot into the installed TWRP
Note: after performing the previous step, you may get a "No OS is installed" warning from TWRP. That's normal. It is ok to swipe to proceed.
e - After rebooting, go to `Reboot` and note the current slot. It should be in the opposite slot from what you were in during the previous step. That switch automatically happens after you flash a custom rom. If you're still in the same slot then something went wrong and you should start over. If you are in the opposite slot, then go back to TWRP home and continue with the next step.
f - Go to `Install` and select `Install Image` and select the stock vendor img, then select `Vendor` partition.
g - Go to `Mount` and select to mount `Vendor`. Go back to TWRP home
h - Go to `Advanced` - > `File Manager`. Navigate to /vendor/overlay/, then click the checkmark in the bottom right. Select `Delete`. Then go back to TWRP home
i - Go to `Install` and select the Opengapps zip file. Swipe to install (This step is optional. Only needed if you want google apps.)
j - After installation completes, select `Reboot System`
k - You should now see the LineageOS boot animation. The initial boot may take several minutes
Flashing Magisk: (Optional)
Note: If you want root you can flash magisk at any time in the future, but not during the initial install. You must boot into lineage rom at least once.
a - Reboot into twrp and go to 'Reboot' and make sure you're in the same slot you were in at step 3.e
b - Go to `Install` and select the Magisk zip file. Swipe to install
c - After installation completes, select `Reboot System`

Why do I have to flash the vendor.img? When do I flash the vendor.img? And why do I need to delete the /vendor/overlay/ folder?

Before moving to root device, must read every single instruction given below as any small mistake can lead to fail to achieve root or may brick the device.
A. Unlocking Bootloader
This is a basic step to root device. Go to settings - about phone - Software Information - tap multiple times on "Build number" - This will open developer option.
Now in settings at the end, you will have new option "Developer options" - look for OEM unlocking - Enable it.
(PS : If you don't see this option then you may need to wait up to 7 days or more to appear or may be on some operator you will get it never. Without this option you can not root your device, sorry!).
How to get OEM Unlock option back?
1. Open the Settings app. Tap on General Management → Date and time.
2. Use the toggle button to disable Automatic date and time.
3. Set date option will be enabled now. Tap on it, and set the date to about 10-20 days earlier.
4. Enable developer options.
4.a Go to your device Settings.
4.b Select ‘About phone’ » tap seven times on ‘Build number’.
└ This will enable Developer options under Settings.
4.c Go back to Settings » scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see Developer options menu.
5. Open developer options (in the Settings app itself), and find the option called ‘Auto update system‘. Use the toggle button to disable it.
6. Now, go back to the main screen of Setting, and then tap on Software update.
7. Disable the option ‘Download updates automatically‘.
8. Tap on ‘Download updates manually‘ option, but it will give you an error because of the wrong date, so it’s fine.
9. Restart the device.
10. Go to Settings > Developer options. The OEM unlock option should be enabled now.
Once you have enable OEM unlock option, switch off your device and reboot to download mode.
To put device in download mode - Press Volume Up & then Press Volume Down (Keep holding both) and connect device to PC with USB cable
When device start to download mode, long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot
Now let finish setup and again enable developer options (as said above), and confirm that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out!
If it is not then you can not root device!
Once you see this option and greyed out, you are ready to flash custom binary and root your device.2. setup the phone by skipping the wizard.
B. Disabling Android Verified Boot
1. Reboot to DOWNLOAD mode.
2. Download Odin 3.14.4 or newer and make sure Samsung USB drivers are installed.
3. Open Odin and put the vbmeta_disabled.tar into USERDATA slot and click "Start"
4. Your device will reboot but it will not boot into system as vbmeta signature has changed.
5. Your device will reboot into RECOVERY mode automatically and prompt "You have to reset your device to factory settings". Use "Volume Up" or "Volume Down" button to move and "Power" button to select. Confirm and reset the device to factory settings.
6. This is the last time the data on the device has to be cleared. Afterwards, if you don't re-lock bootloader or re-enable the Android Verified Boot, you will not lose your data. Be aware, a stock firmware package contains a Android Verified Boot Metadata Image (vbmeta.img) with verifications enabled. You will need to flash the vbmeta_disable image (put into USERDATA slot) along with the stock firmware (use BL, AP, CP, CSC slots) to make sure AVB is not re-enabled and the data is preserved.
C. Flashing TWRP/Magisk
link
Important :
Due to the fact that some devices no longer uses ramdisk in boot images, Magisk has no choice but to be installed in the recovery partition. For these devices, you will have to boot to recovery every time if you want Magisk. Since both Magisk and recovery lives in the same partition, what you actually end up getting when you choose to boot to recovery will be determined by how long you press volume up.
(Powering up normally) → (System with NO Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Release all buttons) → (System with Magisk)
(OEM Recovery Key Combo) → (Splash screen) → (Keep pressing volume up) → (Actual recovery)

Hi
Thanks for putting out the details guide!
I followed the steps carefully but got stuck at step 12 - the device boots to download mode and says: "error verifying vbmeta image..."
Luckily I was able to flash it back to stock - but the magisk_patched.tar looks faulty (I copied it using adb) so no root for me
Any ideas?

Unplug USB and replug it then make sure the size of tar file almost the same as origin.

for step 6, can we transfer the file via SD card?

Flash AP file only for some reason the BL tar include vbmeta.img but you can patch it too.

I also hit the same problem that soft-brick my phone.. just to confirm, the AP.md5 file u said to use, its name is this? AP_A105GDXU2ASE3_CL15918313_QB23932289_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar

Guide updated with more details

Hey dude,
Thanks for the update, I have a problem with step 7
7) Open Magisk Manager - Magisk (first one) - Install - select to "Select and Patch file" - Navigate file you have copied to device (BL_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5).
I followed but magisk says No Boot image found, process error, installation failed

My bad I didnt test this, the BL file contain vbmeta.img and need to be patched. Will try to find better solution.
You can flash stock BL file only then reboot again to bootloader and flash the rest files.

I see.. no worries.. I tried to flash the patched ap file with the stock bl, it soft brinked my phone the last time I did it.. anyway, I will wait for your workaround..
Appreciate your help!

I think it would be helpful to users if there were a single multi-disabler for all Samsung devices. To that end, I've incorporated your changes for the A10 into my multidisabler and attached a test version to this posting.
Will you please test it? If it works for you, I'll issue a new release.

Thanks. In your case, it's easier now if you just verify that the script I attached is working, since I've already integrated the changes you made in your clone.
Anyone who wants multidisabler support for a new device, however, can either send me a pull request against the latest code, or run the following script on a live, rooted device:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
getprop ro.boot.bootloader
echo --
ls -l /vendor/etc/init/pa_daemon*.rc /vendor/etc/fstab.exynos*
echo --
cat /vendor/etc/fstab.exynos*

su -c cat /init.rc

Hi dude..
I tried it.. unfortunately I still have problems.. here are some of the problems
1) my 7zip does not allow me to mod the BL files within the md5 extension, so I extracted them out and replaced the file manually then zip it to Tar.. (the VBmeta file is only 1kb) is that right?
2) after flashing via odin, I did a reboot, I encountered a VBMEta error, "Error verifying vbmeta image" Verification_disabled bit is (cant see it, block by the camera module)
In the end, i restored the firmware and got everything back.

Try using this vbmeta.img (inside the tar file). It worked for me on the A20 with similar error. This file normally seems to be a checksum checker and if it doesn't match what the phone wants to see it gives you that error. But this file was modified to essentially be blank so there is nothing to give the phone an error.

MediaPad M5 Lite (BAH2-W19) is not booting after flashing custom rom

Hi there.
I screwed up my MediaPad M5 Lite (Wifi edition: BAH2-W19, EMUI 8 installed. It's a treble compatible device) yesterday and need help.
I did the following steps before it all went down the gutter:
1. I successfully unlocked the bootloader using the DC Unlocker method
2. I downloaded the latest a-only AOSP release of "phhusson AOSP 9.0 v119": system-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img.xz (https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases)
3. I rebooted into bootloader and flashed the unzipped .img file to the device. The flash was successful as all 4 steps of copieing stuff tot he system partition said "OKAY"
4. now I used "fastboot reboot" and the trouble started. The tablet froze in fastboot mode. It just didn't restart.
5. I turned it of using a long push on the power button. Then it restarted and got stuck at the start screen. I'll attach a screenshot so you know what I am seeing.
6. From now on I was only able to boot into fastboot mode and into the stock recovery. There I did factory reset and cache formatting several times but with no effect.
7. Only thing that still worked was the eRecovery function in the EMUI stock recovery. With this I was able to download some official firmware from Huawei automatically and the tablet was back to stock
8. This night the OS did an auto update to v215.
9. So this morning I repeated the step 2. from above but with a different a-only custom rom and again it didn't work out
10. I tried to use the eRecovery function to get back to stock, but now the recovery is broken and throws an error "Getting package info failed".
I also tried to download older firmware from https://androidhost.ru/ and flash it with the dload method. Without success of course. While doing it I receive an error "Software install failed!". I will attach a screenshot.
Can anybody give me a hint what I could do next to approach the problem?

Well, you didn't had TWRP as recovery, so no nandroid backup available. From one of my experiences with flashing a stock rom for acer, I had to delete some lines of code from the meta inf folder relating the version of the phone, in order to successfully flash it. Maybe the stock ROM you are trying has some lines of code detecting if bootloader unlocked.

Im also having trouble getting a good tutorial for getting rid of the os or just to have magisk on the tablet

You dowoad latest rom and flash stock via hru and. Twrp search xda

You can install these roms only if you can downgrade to update v177 and lower

Like me you need to Unbrick your mediapad m5 lite
First place need to go back in Fastboot mode.
So UNPLUG , turn off , wait a second and turn on with volume Down , when screen blink release power button and keep volume down pressed a second until Fastboot mode
Or, try to boot in Fastboot with volume down + power AND USB plugged in goes into fastboot, or TWRP if you flashed TWRP to RECOVERY2 instead to RECOVERY.
If doesnt work try the same plug or unplug cuz we have Recovery_ramdisk , eRecovery and eRecovery2
WHEN its okay and you can turn on fastboot mode
Second prepair the img's for unbricking
The LEGIT methods its come back stock rom , then you'll be able to do what you want.
Download Huawei Multi-Tools , Huawei Update Extractor and update.zip of your stock ROM and update_data_full
Then use Huawei Update Extractor to extract
system.img ramdisk.img recovery_ramdisk.img From update.app\update.zip and
Cust.img from update.app\update_full_public.zip.
If you have backup of your userdata.img its the time to put all together in the same directory before go futher.
If all its good , you just need to click unbrick.
Maybe i'll soon do a guide for unbrick and prevent brick , and how install twrp without losing data or encryption data

And just for the complete list:
Volume up + power AND USB plugged in goes into eRecovery (or TWRP, if you flashed TWRP to RECOVERY2 instead to RECOVERY)
Volume up and down + power and USB plugged in forces update via USB (indicated by a little USB-like icon in the recovery circle. The progess bar goes to 5% and waits for input from your PC)

RAMDISK238.img, Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.21.2019.zip and twrp8.img you will find at
android-hilfe.de->forum huawei-mediapad-m5-lite -> custom-roms-mediapad page-5
Theese custom roms should work:
Andy Yan's LineageOS 17 (Android 10) -> lineage-17.0-20191231-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm_avN.img.xz
Pierre-Hugues Husson AOSP 10.0 v209 -> system-quack-arm64-aonly-vanilla.img.xz
Following this guide you will loose all your data so be sure to have a backup
This should work for a Mediapad M5 lite BAH2-W19OCEC432-238
Precondition: Unlocked Bootloader / OEM Unlocked / USB Debugging active
1. if you brick your device don`t blame me
2. check, if the version B238 is installed
3. back up your data
4. copy Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.21.2019.zip on SD card
Fastboot:
5. boot into Fastboot Mode.
6. flash TWRP -> fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp8.img
7. fastboot reboot recovery (the first time booting should show up the twrp menu)
if the boot message "2. Press Volume up for 3 seconds" appears must do a Factory Reset in the Stock Recovery. After a reboot the TWRP menu shows up. In lineageos you can activate advanced reboot in developer settings to boot in TWRP menu by pressing recovery mode
TWRP:
8. Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> select data + cache + dalvik-cache -> Swipe to wipe -> back to start menu
9. Install -> Select Storage -> select Mircro SD card -> OK -> select Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.21.2019.zip -> Swipe to confirm Flash
10. Reboot -> Bootloader (not System!!!)
Fastboot:
11. fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK238.img
12. fastboot flash system lineage-17.0-20191231-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img
(or AOSP 10.0 v209)
13. fastboot reboot
LineageOS should start.
other custom roms could work as well.......
Edit:
There´s a new version of LineageOS available:
https:######sourceforge.net###projects###andyyan-gsi###files###lineage-17.x###lineage-17.1-20200111-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.xz###download
replace ### with /
It works well on my m5lite

It did not work on B239
I am trying now to get back to the stock rom.
I think the problem is with RAMDISK238.img :/
Do you know how to get one for 239?
Thanks !

6. flash TWRP -> fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp8.img
7. fastboot reboot recovery (the first time booting should show up the twrp menu)
if the boot message "2. Press Volume up for 3 seconds" appears must do a Factory Reset in the Stock Recovery. After a reboot the TWRP menu shows up. In lineageos you can activate advanced reboot in developer settings to boot in TWRP menu by pressing recovery mode
TWRP:
8. Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> select data + cache + dalvik-cache -> Swipe to wipe -> back to start menu
9. Install -> Select Storage -> select Mircro SD card -> OK -> select Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.21.2019.zip -> Swipe to confirm Flash
10. Reboot -> Bootloader (not System!!!)
Fastboot:
11. fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK238.img
12. fastboot flash system lineage-17.0-20191231-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img
(or AOSP 10.0 v209)
13. fastboot reboot
LineageOS should start.
other custom roms could work as well.......
Edit:
There´s a new version of LineageOS available:
https:######sourceforge.net###projects###andyyan-gsi###files###lineage-17.x###lineage-17.1-20200111-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.xz###download
replace ### with /
It works well on my m5lite

Check out your model (C432C431/...)
Use the huawei extractor to extract the images

Can someone check if this is legit? https://romprovider.com/2019/09/9-1-0-151-b151-firmware-jordan2-l09b/amp/

It's for the 8" screen variant. It won't work on our 10.1"

is there any current custom house for this model because no links work. And on the stock, I have a problem with 5ghz Wi-Fi

You'd better install TWRP,flash FBE-disabler and format data partition
Anyway,firmware can be found at professorjtj.github.io and I recommend you rebrand and update it to EMUI9 to get better treble compatibility

thats an interesting suggestion. could you post some guides on how could someone rebrand their device ?

2nd attempt to root (after hard brick)

Hello everyone,
After my first attempt to root my RN8P and a hard brick (after installing TWRP) I would obviously like to avoid a second disaster.
Let me give you a bit of an overview first though:
MIUI version: Global 11.0.6.0 (PGGMIXM)
Android version: 9 PPR1.180610.011
Security Patch Level: 2019-12-01
Bootloader: Unlocked
I am not a complete noob as I have already rooted and flashed CFWs on 2 Xiaomi phones (Redmi 3 and Redmi Note 4x) without any problems but I have to admit that I do not really understand all the details so consider me a "copy and paste" user which is why I post this here. After having the hard brick experience and dishing out 30 USD for my stupidity to have someone flash a stock ROM again I would like to make sure that I am NOT following a guide which will lead me down the same alley again.
Goal: Plan is to install TWRP and Magisk (want to continue using banking on my device) and flash the Lineage ROM. I also use Macrodroid to automate a lot of things hence the need for root.
Is there anyone here who could point me to the correct procedures for my ROM version/setup to help me succeed on my 2nd try?
I would love to learn all of this in detail before I attempt it again but unfortunately I am a busy dad with 2 young kids and simply don't have the time to really do
All help is much appreciated!
Cheers!

How to flash TWRP (LR.TEAM) and root RN8pro:
1. Download recovery file from this message
2. Open CMD from the dir where you store twrp.img (it's important because you don't need to type whole path of the twrp.img
3. Turn off the device, hold Power button & Vol- to enter fast boot and connect device to USB
4. In CMD type first fastboot devices to ensure that device is in fastboot, this is not important but recommended. Output should be something like this 4l6lsctgskpj4swc fastboot
5. Then it's time to flash recovery file. Type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
6. This is the most important step now, on the device screen it should write USB Transmission ok if that is there you are ready to go. Remove device from the USB and hold Power button & Vol+, When the device turn off the screen keep holding Vol+ it'll keep screen off for about 5-10 seconds, then it'll show a recovery, still holding vol+ because it will get restarted again, and again still holding vol+ and recovery will show up. Simple words (Keep holding vol+ till recovery not appear for second time)
7. If it asks for a password, it's a password you use on the device it self(one for unlocking the screen or unlock the device after reboot), enter password and wait for Data decrypt.
At the moment there is no root and recovery will be replaced after you try to boot next time. To prevent it from replacing recovery do next (my opinion is skipping step 8. and 9. and having stock recovery because of MIUI updates):
8. Go to mount and tick the /system
9. Go back, tap on advanced, then to File Manager search for system_root dir open it, then find system and on the bottom is file called recovery-from-boot.p Remove that file and recovery wont be replaced
Now how we root it:
10. Go to advanced and tap on Close AVB2.0 and swipe to confirm
11. Go back and tap to Install ROOT, swipe to install and Reboot system
This will install Magisk v19.4, after boot you can update it from the Magisk Manager, my suggestion is to first update the manager then Magisk binary.
I have done this on ROM: MIUI Global 11.0.2 and 11.0.3 | Stable 11.0.2.0(PGGEUXM), Android 9 PPR1.180610.011

!!! The spoiler below is a must-read before doing anything with your device. !!!​
Spoiler: Let's discuss several points at once
Spoiler: 1. Drivers and utilities - download immediately and install so that there are no further questions
1. Fastboot and adb - Tools_r31.0.3
2. Miflash or Mi Flash Tool
3. USBDrivers - QDloader
Spoiler: 2. Features and disadvantages of our device
2.1 We have a so-called A/B partition structure - this is when two spaces are used for system partitions (read more in google) the essence is that there are "Firmware" partitions
Spoiler: code
Code:
"dsp.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/dsp_a"
"dsp.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/dsp_b"
"xbl_config.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/xbl_config_a"
"xbl_config.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/xbl_config_b"
"modem.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem_a"
"modem.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem_b"
"tz.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/tz_a"
"tz.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/tz_b"
"bluetooth.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/bluetooth_a"
"bluetooth.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/bluetooth_b"
"abl.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl_a"
"abl.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl_b"
"featenabler.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/featenabler_a"
"featenabler.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/featenabler_b"
"keymaster.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/keymaster_a"
"keymaster.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/keymaster_b"
"uefisecapp.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/uefisecapp_a"
"uefisecapp.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/uefisecapp_b"
"qupfw.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/qupfw_a"
"qupfw.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/qupfw_b"
"xbl.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/xbl_a"
"xbl.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/xbl_b"
"cmnlib.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cmnlib_a"
"cmnlib.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cmnlib_b"
"cmnlib64.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cmnlib64_a"
"cmnlib64.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cmnlib64_b"
"devcfg.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devcfg_a"
"devcfg.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devcfg_b"
"hyp.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/hyp_a"
"hyp.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/hyp_b"
"imagefv.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/imagefv_a"
"imagefv.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/imagefv_b"
"aop.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aop_a"
"aop.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aop_b"
and there are partitions directly ROM /data, /system /system_ext, /vendor, /product, /odm, /vendor_boot, /boot
2.2 miui based ROMs update all of these sections. In the case of firmware, they are put in both slots at once. Although this is not necessary in essence.
ROMs of a custom type, those based on a "pure" android are often flashed for only partitions of the ROM, but not in 100% case
2.3 For our device, there are 3 types of ROM installation files, 2 of which are divided into two types of installation methods
2.3.1 Let's start simple, Official miui image for fastboot - installation is recommended via miflash, has all partitions inside the archive. There are also 3 files inside - for easy installation of all partitions, for installing all partitions and formatting the memory, as well as for installing all partitions and locking the bootloader (the memory is formatted automatically), the name of the .bat files speaks for themselves
2.3.2 Next - the installation .zip archive of unofficial MIUI for TWRP. Not all partitions, but the main ones (always stitched into section A), including firmware (stitched into both slots A and B)
2.3.3 Sideload type firmware (99% of all custom ROMs) are divided into two installation methods.
Inside the archive there is a payload.bin file in which the rom and sometimes firmware sections are packed
Installation always goes to the adjacent NOT active memory slot, and after completion, makes the adjacent slot active to load the firmware
Installation via PC, via ADB (on the phone, AOSP recovery adb sideload/twrp adb sideload mode) or installation via TWRP directly from the device
2.4 Custom ROMs for fastboot, usually used for a clean installation, which implies cleaning and data from memory (pictures, etc.) inside sometimes have firmware sections and always rom sections. Inside, as the author saw fit, there are .bat launchers for updating (does not erase all data) and for a clean installation (erases all data)
2.5 Another very important feature of the AB structure in our case is two types of fastboot mod. It is called bootloader - official miui is completely flashed through it, and there is a fastbootD mode that is built into the boot sector in aosp recovery or in twrp, it is also needed for flashing img images. Ask what are the differences if this and that fastboot?
The answer is idiotic
Bootloader can flash all main partitions only in both A and B sections at the same time command type - "fastboot flash system_ab system.img"
He knows how to essentially flash a couple of partitions into a certain slot, we only need in this case vendor_boot and boot command type "fastboot flash boot_a boot.img" or instead of A you need to write B
FastbootD, on the other hand, can flash img images separately into the desired slot A or B
2.6 Poco f3/k40/mi11x does not have a separate partition for recovery/twrp,the whole thing is stored in the boot sector in the ramdisk, and the kernel is also stored there. Several factors follow from this knowledge.
2.6.1 To install TWRP, you must first boot into a temporary TWRP, the command type is "fastboot boot twrp.img". Inside TWRP, in the Advanced tab, click install recovery ramdisk, and select the img twrp image on the phone
2.6.3 To install aosp recvoery, you need to flash boot "fastboot boot boot.img"
2.6.4 After installing magisk, as it is stored in the RAMDISK. If you install TWRP again in ramdisk, the magisk will be deleted
2.6.5 When installing the magisk, TWRP does not crash
2.6.6 When installing kernel.zip via TWRP, TWRPis not deleted.
2.6.7 After updating the ROM, or changing the ROM, the TWRPis deleted, since the boot sector is bundled with all the ROMs as a whole and mainly with aosp recovery included, some romodels can immediately push TWRP into it. But it's better to play it safe and flash it yourself
2.6.8 When entering TWRP, it writes the installation .zip archives to the active slot, and always works with the active slot A or B, the exception concerns firmware, wrote above in paragraph 2.3
2.6.9 install recovery ramdis on surveillance writes TWRP to both slots
Spoiler: 3. Regarding TWRP and AOSP recovery
3.1 There are currently only 2 TWRPs from Nebrassy and from vasishath. What is the difference? God knows. In fact, they are bugged equally strongly, so I will write instructions using the example of Nebrassy, from experience there are no problems with it.
3.2 AOSP recovery is like it was 10 years ago cwm recovery if anyone remembers. Serves only for switching to fastbootD and ADB sideload mode, updating the firmware over the air, and sometimes cleaning the data. Supplied by many ROM developers as a necessary component (in fact, not so)
Now, based on the knowledge above, we have an understanding of how and what works. Now we need to disassemble the installation procedure. Here, too, not everything is so simple. There are two options for each installation. And in addition, we have 10 ways to install firmware. Why 10? And all due to the fact that I was unaware and had to write a small script called DFE. Isn't there a ready-made one on the Internet? According to my tests, they simply don't work.
Spoiler: Briefly about DFE
Somewhere 90% of ROM Developers out of the box have such a function as data encryption, DFE removes "flags" from one file in the /vendor section so that the system encrypts the data "Entire /data section" at startup therefore, just like with TWRP, after changing or updating the firmware, you need to flash it through TWRP.
- Why should I remove encryption? - ask a question
I will answer, in fact, there is no need, if only you are ready to always back up all data to a flash drive or PC from the internal memory of the phone when changing the firmware, because not all firmware have the same encryption keys, and you can install the firmware, but it is simply will not start at best, at worst everything will be encrypted over a new one and all files will be lost.
But literally all the instructions from the developers of the ROM are written precisely taking into account the fact that you will format the date when installing their firmware. Also, if encryption is disabled, TWRP will not ask for a password to see the memory, and therefore your data is at risk when the phone is stolen, since it will not be difficult to pull them out.
For all cases, you cannot do format data before installing the firmware, otherwise the PC will not see the memory, format data is done only at the end of the installation.
Spoiler: Installing temporary TWRP
Method 1:
1. We drop twrp.img into the folder with adb
2. In windows, hold down shift + right mouse button in an empty space in the folder, open a shell or cmd
3. The console will open, in the case of win10 / 11, if this is a shell, you need to register cmd
4. Reboot the phone into fastboot mode / bootloader (volume down + power button) and connect it to the computer via the wire
5. We write to the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
6. TWRP will start by itself
Method 2:
1.Download TWRP Autoruner https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HsA1XAEzFgEo0n7K1Vf0QqPlyEICzkpd/view?usp=sharing
2. Unpack anywhere
3. Boot into FastBoot
4. Run the batch file in the folder
Spoiler: Setting TWRP to "permanent" - within the same ROM (Before the first ROM update, or before the first ROM change)
Method 1: Works ALWAYS
1. Go to the advanced tab and select install recvoery ramdisk
2. Find the twrp.img file on your phone and select it
3. If TWRP shows "Error opening: No such file or directory"
then you need to change the active slot in the Reboot contribution, then back and flash TWRP into the ramdisk again
Method 2: For TWRP from Nebrassy does not work 100% of the time
In the same place, in the advanced tab, click flash current TWRP
Method 3: For TWRP from Vasishath. does not work 100%
In the same place, in the advanced tab, click Inject TWRP
Before flashing custom, it is recommended to install a miui stock or a custom miui. It is advisable to drain through a fastboot by analogy with the spoiler instruction, from point 1 to point 9
This is done in order to update all sections in memory, remove tails from other ROMs. Refresh the markup of the sections. Otherwise, there may be errors, not working conditional nfc, lags, whatever. In the best case, the ROM simply won't be installed. At worst, there will be a bad opinion about the ROM because of your own wrong actions and an extra day for flashing and configuring another or the same ROM.
All files are additional here​
Spoiler: If the memory in TWRP is not visible
1. You saw that the PC does not see the memory on the device, or the TWRP is empty (this already means that all the data has been erased)
2. Download one of these TWRO to your computer
recovery_vasishath_nonflags.img or recovery_nebrassy_nonflags.img
3. Through that TWRP where everything is empty, we do format data (yes)
4. Reboot bootloader
5. On the PC we prescribe "fastboot boot twrp.img" any of the post
6. TWRP is loaded (the computer and TWRP sees the memory, but this is not all, nothing will work)
7. In the advanced tab, click fix context
8. In the mounts tab, remove the checkbox from the date and put it back.
9. Now you can upload files from your computer
10. You flash the ROM, you can not do the date format again, when the system boots, it will erase everything from memory, and if you did not set dfe, then the date itself will be encrypted, if you set the data in the same way, it will be erased, but there will be no encryption.
Note:
These TWRPs will not see the date (files in memory) if the data is encrypted, usually TWRP asks for a password when entering it, or you can see it in the security tab.
This TWRP works fine with the already decrypted date, if you use the DFE patch, everything works normally
In this TWRP, the encryption flags are simply removed, so that after the date format when entering TWRP, the date is not encrypted with keys from TWRP and does not break from this
Spoiler: Installation using DFE patch (HentaiOS and Proton AOSP excluded)
When using DFE, you should not use internal methods of updating in ROM, when the firmware is updated in the background, and when you reboot it is already updated, as I wrote earlier, the sections are updated, and therefore the DFE stops working, and it is rather difficult to predict when the system has updated itself, and if DFE will stop working, all data will be deleted, and the ROM simply will not start, so it's better to manually set everything.​
Spoiler: ROM Type Official MIUI Fastboot
1. Download zip with fastboot image MIUI
2. Unpack it to a convenient place
3. You need to go to the folder, and look for the flash_all_except_storage.bat file there
4. You need to open it with a text editor and delete the last line with the text "fastboot reboot"
5. Now, through miflash, we look for the directory with this file
6. We transfer the phone to fastboot mode (Hold the power button + volume rocker down)
7. We connect the device with a wire to the computer and, in the program, select the bottom right flash_all_except_storage.bat, press flash
8. After the end of the process, you need to boot into TWRP
9. In TWRP, if you did everything correctly, then the memory is not erased.
10. We transfer DFE from the computer to the phone, or if you did it in advance, then we flash it. in 99% of cases, an inscription will come out that you need to pre-flash SystemRW_1.32. Then we do it.
11. In the case of SystemRW, you need to reboot into TWRP, then either put it in RamDisk and just reboot, or click reboot bootloader and boot from the computer back to TWRP.
12. Repeat step 10.
13. If you have not used DFE before, then you need to do format DATA (yes). If you have updated the firmware in this way, then you do not need to do Format data. If you have changed the firmware, it is recommended to do wipe data, otherwise either the firmware will not boot, or it will not work correctly
Spoiler: ROM type Pyaload.bin for TWRP
1. Install TWRP in ramdisk and / or go into it
2. Flash .zip ROM file
3. Install TWRP in ramdisk
4. Reboot into TWRP
5. Flash DFE.zip
6. If you have not used DFE before, then you need to do format DATA (yes). If you have updated the firmware in this way, then you do not need to do Format data. If you have changed the firmware, it is recommended to do wipe data, otherwise either the firmware will not boot, or it will not work correctly
Spoiler: ROM type Payload.bin for ADB sideload via PC
1. Download the .zip ROM to your PC. Upload the archive to the adb folder
2. Then, according to the instructions from the developer, you can flash the vendor and vendor_boot ROM provided by the developer, or load into the temporary TWRP from nebrassy "fastboot flash boot twrp.img", or through the autoinstall script
3. Further, in the case of AOSP recovery fastboot --set-active = a and fastboot reboot recovery
5. In twrp, select the advanced section and click adb sideload. in AOSP recovery select Install update through ADB
6. In the console from the adb folder in which the archive from the ROM is located, write "adb sideload name_file_PZU.zip"
7. Flash DFE.zip
8. If you have not used DFE before, then you need to do format DATA (yes). If you have updated the firmware in this way, then you do not need to do Format data. If you have changed the firmware, it is recommended to do wipe data, otherwise either the firmware will not boot, or it will not work correctly
Spoiler: ROM Type Custom MIUI (For example Xiaomi.eu)
1. Download CustomMIUI.zip
2. Install TWRP in ramdisk and / or go into it
3. Flash CustomMIUI.zip ROM file
4. Install TWRP in ramdisk
5. Reboot into TWRP
6. Flash DFE.zip
7. If you have not used DFE before, then you need to do format DATA (yes). If you have updated the firmware in this way, then you do not need to do Format data. If you have changed the firmware, it is recommended to do wipe data, otherwise either the firmware will not boot, or it will not work correctly
Spoiler: ROM type Custom fastboot image.
1. Download fastboot ROM on PC
2. Unzip to a convenient place, and go to the folder, find the update.bat file there, you need to open it with a text editor and delete the last line with the text "fastboot reboot"
3. We transfer the phone to fastboot mode (Hold the power button + volume down)
4. Run update.bat and wait for the end of the procedure
5. After the end of the process, you need to boot into TWRP
9. In TWRP, if you did everything right, then the memory is not erased. Otherwise, I recommend using this method so that the memory appears.
10. We transfer DFE from the computer to the phone, or if you did it in advance, then we flash it.
11. If you have not used DFE before, then you need to do format DATA (yes). If you have updated the firmware in this way, then you do not need to do Format data. If you have changed the firmware, it is recommended to do wipe data, otherwise either the firmware will not boot, or it will not work correctly
Spoiler: Standard installation methods
Spoiler: ROM Type Official MIUI Fastboot
1. Download zip with fastboot image MIUI
2. Unpack it to a convenient place
3. Now, through miflash, we look for the directory with this file
4. We transfer the phone to fastboot mode (Hold the power button + volume ring down)
5. We connect with a wire to the PC and first select in the program at the bottom right flash_all_except_storage.bat (For updating), flash_all.bat (For Clean installation) flash_all_lock.bat (for clean installation and locking the bootloader) or press flash
6. The system will reboot itself. Ready
7. Additionally (Magisk, gapps and other zip) after a clean install with all files removed:
7.1 After loading into the system, we go through the device configuration, and we must put a pin or a graphic key
7.2 Flash temporary TWRP
7.3 If you need a TWRP on an ongoing basis, then we flash it into a ramdisk (Imstall recvoery ramdisk), the img image of the TWRP must be on the device
7.4 Flash the zip archives you need
7.5 You can make Wipe data to set up your phone again
8. If you updated your phone, you can do steps 7.2-7.4 Immediately after installing the update
Spoiler: ROM type Pyaload.bin for TWRP
1. Install TWRP in ramdisk and / or go into it
2. Flash .zip ROM file
3. Install TWRP in ramdisk
4. Make Format Data as indicated in the instructions of the firmware developer, or wipe date if you change it from custom to custom (does not always work), or just boot into the system (Risky !!)
5.Additional (Magisk, gapps and other zip):
5.1 If you have updated the ROM, you can flash additional files
5.2 If you have made format data, you need to boot into the system, go through the setup, put the lock key and reboot into TWRP, after that you can put an additional zip. and make wipe data to configure it again
Spoiler: ROM type Payload.bin for ADB sideload via PC
1. Download the .zip ROM to your PC. Upload the archive to the adb folder
2. Further, you can follow the instructions either from the developer, flash the vendor and vendor_boot provided by the developer, or boot into the temporary TWRP from nebrassy "fastboot flash boot twrp.img", or through the autoinstall script
3. Further, in the case of AOSP recovery fastboot --set-active = a and fastboot reboot recovery
5. In twrp, select the advanced section and click adb sideload. in aosp recovery select Install update through ADB
6. In the console, from the adb folder in which the archive with the firmware is located, write adb sideload_file_name.zip
7. At the end of the process, make Format Data as indicated in the developer's instructions, or wipe the date, if you change it from custom to custom (it does not always work), or just boot into the system
8.Additional (Magisk, gapps and other zip):
8.1 After loading into the system, we go through the device configuration, and we must put a pin or a graphic key
8.2 Reboot the phone into fastboot mode (volume down and hold down the power button) connect the computer, flash the temporary TWRP
8.3 If you need a TWRP for a constant, then we flash it into a ramdisk (Imstall recvoery ramdisk), the img image of a TWRP must be on the device
8.4 Flash the zip archives you need
9. If you updated your phone, you can do steps 8.2-8.4 Immediately after installing the update
Spoiler: ROM Type Custom MIUI (For example Xiaomi.eu)
1. Download CustomMIUI.zip
2. Install TWRP in ramdisk and / or go into it
3. Flash CustomMIUI.zip ROM file
4. Install TWRP to ramdisk
5. Reboot into TWRP

7.2 If you have made format data, you need to boot into the system, go through the setup, put the lock key and reboot into TWRP, after that you can put an additional zip. and make wipe data to configure it again
Spoiler: ROM type Custom fastboot image.
1. Download fastboot ROM on PC
2. Unzip to a convenient place, and go to the folder, find the update.bat file and installformat.bat there FirestInstall.bat
3. Go into fastboot mode, connect the device to the PC and select the desired installer, or update, to update, or for a clean install installformat.bat or FirestInstall.bat (all data will be erased, including memory
4. Additionally (Magisk, gapps and other zip) after a clean install with all files removed:
4.1 After loading into the system, we go through the device configuration, and we must put a pin or a graphic key
4.2 Reboot the phone into fastboot mode (volume down and hold down the power button) connect the computer, flash the temporary TWRP
4.3 If you need TWRP for Permanent then we do it

"aop.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aop_a"
"aop.img", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aop_b"
and there are partitions directly ROM /data, /system /system_ext, /vendor, /product, /odm, /vendor_boot, /boot
2.2 miui based ROMs update all of these sections. In the case of firmware, they are put in both slots at once. Although this is not necessary in essence.
ROMs of a custom type, those based on a "pure" android are often flashed for only partitions of the ROM, but not in 100% case
2.3 For our device, there are 3 types of ROM installation files, 2 of which are divided into two types of installation methods
2.3.1 Let's start simple, Official miui image for fastboot - installation is recommended via miflash, has all partitions inside the archive. There are also 3 files inside - for easy installation of all partitions, for installing all partitions and formatting the memory, as well as for installing all partitions and locking the bootloader (the memory is formatted automatically), the name of the .bat files speaks for themselves
2.3.2 Next - the installation .zip archive of unofficial MIUI for TWRP. Not all partitions, but the main ones (always stitched into section A), including firmware (stitched into both slots A and B)
2.3.3 Sideload type firmware (99% of all custom ROMs) are divided into two installation methods.
Inside the archive there is a payload.bin file in which the rom and sometimes firmware sections are packed
Installation always goes to the adjacent NOT active memory slot, and after completion, makes the adjacent slot active to load the firmware
Installation via PC, via ADB (on the phone, AOSP recovery adb sideload/twrp adb sideload mode) or installation via TWRP directly from the device
2.4 Custom ROMs for fastboot, usually used for a clean installation, which implies cleaning and data from memory (pictures, etc.) inside sometimes have firmware sections and always rom sections. Inside, as the author saw fit, there are .bat launchers for updating (does not erase all data) and for a clean installation (erases all data)
2.5 Another very important feature of the AB structure in our case is two types of fastboot mod. It is called bootloader - official miui is completely flashed through it, and there is a fastbootD mode that is built into the boot sector in aosp recovery or in twrp, it is also needed for flashing img images. Ask what are the differences if this and that fastboot?
The answer is idiotic
Bootloader can flash all main partitions only in both A and B sections at the same time command type - "fastboot flash system_ab system.img"
He knows how to essentially flash a couple of partitions into a certain slot, we only need in this case vendor_boot and boot command type "fastboot flash boot_a boot.img" or instead of A you need to write B
FastbootD, on the other hand, can flash img images separately into the desired slot A or B
2.6 Poco f3/k40/mi11x does not have a separate partition for recovery/twrp,the whole thing is stored in the boot sector in the ramdisk, and the kernel is also stored there. Several factors follow from this knowledge.
2.6.1 To install TWRP, you must first boot into a temporary tvrp, the command type is "fastboot boot twrp.img". Inside TWRP, in the Advanced tab, click install recovery ramdisk, and select the img twrp image on the phone
2.6.3 To install aosp recvoery, you need to flash boot "fastboot boot boot.img"
2.6.4 After installing magisk, as it is stored in the RAMDISK. If you install tvrp again in ramdisk, the magisk will be deleted
2.6.5 When installing the magisk, tvrp does not crash
2.6.6 When installing kernel.zip via TWRP, TWRPis not deleted.
2.6.7 After updating the ROM, or changing the ROM, the TWRPis deleted, since the boot sector is bundled with all the ROMs as a whole and mainly with aosp recovery included, some romodels can immediately push TWRP into it. But it's better to play it safe and flash it yourself
2.6.8 When entering TWRP, it writes the installation .zip archives to the active slot, and always works with the active slot A or B, the exception concerns firmware, wrote above in paragraph 2.3
2.6.9 install recovery ramdis on surveillance writes TWRP to both slots
Spoiler: 3. Regarding TWRP and AOSP recovery
3.1 There are currently only 2 TWRPs from Nebrassy and from vasishath. What is the difference? God knows. In fact, they are bugged equally strongly, so I will write instructions using the example of Nebrassy, from experience there are no problems with it.
3.2 AOSP recovery is like it was 10 years ago cwm recovery if anyone remembers. Serves only for switching to fastbootD and ADB sideload mode, updating the firmware over the air, and sometimes cleaning the data. Supplied by many ROM developers as a necessary component (in fact, not so)
Now, based on the knowledge above, we have an understanding of how and what works. Now we need to disassemble the installation procedure. Here, too, not everything is so simple. There are two options for each installation. And in addition, we have 10 ways to install firmware. Why 10? And all due to the fact that I was unaware and had to write a small script called DFE. Isn't there a ready-made one on the Internet? According to my tests, they simply don't work.
Spoiler: Briefly about DFE
Somewhere 90% of ROM Developers out of the box have such a function as data encryption, DFE removes "flags" from one file in the /vendor section so that the system encrypts the data "Entire /data section" at startup therefore, just like with TWRP, after changing or updating the firmware, you need to flash it through TWRP.
- Why should I remove encryption? - ask a question
I will answer, in fact, there is no need, if only you are ready to always back up all data to a flash drive or PC from the internal memory of the phone when changing the firmware, because not all firmware have the same encryption keys, and you can install the firmware, but it is simply will not start at best, at worst everything will be encrypted over a new one and all files will be lost.
But literally all the instructions from the developers of the ROM are written precisely taking into account the fact that you will format the date when installing their firmware. Also, if encryption is disabled, TvRP will not ask for a password to see the memory, and therefore your data is at risk when the phone is stolen, since it will not be difficult to pull them out.
For all cases, you cannot do format data before installing the firmware, otherwise the PC will not see the memory, format data is done only at the end of the installation.
Spoiler: Installing temporary TWRP
Method 1:
1. We drop twrp.img into the folder with adb
2. In windows, hold down shift + right mouse button in an empty space in the folder, open a shell or cmd
3. The console will open, in the case of win10 / 11, if this is a shell, you need to register cmd
4. Reboot the phone into fastboot mode / bootloader (volume down + power button) and connect it to the computer via the wire
5. We write to the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
6. TWRP will start by itself
Method 2:
1.Download TWRP Autoruner https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HsA1XAEzFgEo0n7K1Vf0QqPlyEICzkpd/view?usp=sharing
2. Unpack anywhere
3. Boot into FastBoot
4. Run the batch file in the folder
Spoiler: Setting TWRP to "permanent" - within the same ROM (Before the first ROM update, or before the first ROM change)
Method 1: Works ALWAYS
1. Go to the advanced tab and select install recvoery ramdisk
2. Find the twrp.img file on your phone and select it
3. If TWRP shows "Error opening: No such file or directory"
then you need to change the active slot in the Reboot contribution, then back and flash TWRP into the ramdisk again
Method 2: For TWRP from Nebrassy does not work 100% of the time
In the same place, in the advanced tab, click flash current TWRP
Method 3: For TWRP from Vasishath. does not work 100%
In the same place, in the advanced tab, click Inject TWRP
Before flashing custom, it is recommended to install a miui stock or a custom miui. It is advisable to drain through a fastboot by analogy with the spoiler instruction, from point 1 to point 9
This is done in order to update all sections in memory, remove tails from other ROMs. Refresh the markup of the sections. Otherwise, there may be errors, not working conditional nfc, lags, whatever. In the best case, the ROM simply won't be installed. At worst, there will be a bad opinion about the ROM because of your own wrong actions and an extra day for flashing and configuring another or the same ROM.
All files are additional here​
Spoiler: If the memory in TWRP is not visible
1. You saw that the PC does not see the memory on the device, or the tvrp is empty (this already means that all the data has been erased)
2. Download one of these TVRPs to your computer
recovery_vasishath_nonflags.img or recovery_nebrassy_nonflags.img
3. Through that TWRP where everything is empty, we do format data (yes)
4. Reboot bootloader
5. On the PC we prescribe "fastboot boot twrp.img" any of the post
6. TvRP is loaded (the computer and TWRP sees the memory, but this is not all, nothing will work)
7. In the advanced tab, click fix context
8. In the mounts tab, remove the checkbox from the date and put it back.
9. Now you can upload files from your computer
10. You flash the ROM, you can not do the date format again, when the system boots, it will erase everything from memory, and if you did not set dfe, then the date itself will be encrypted, if you set the data in the same way, it will be erased, but there will be no encryption.
Note:
These TWRPs will not see the date (files in memory) if the data is encrypted, usually TWRP asks for a password when entering it, or you can see it in the security tab.
This TWRP works fine with the already decrypted date, if you use the DFE patch, everything works normally
In this TWRP, the encryption flags are simply removed, so that after the date format when entering TVRP, the date is not encrypted with keys from TWRP and does not break from this
Spoiler: Installation using DFE patch (HentaiOS and Proton AOSP excluded)
When using DFE, you should not use internal methods of updating in ROM, when the firmware is updated in the background, and when you reboot it is already updated, as I wrote earlier, the sections are updated, and therefore the DFE stops working, and it is rather difficult to predict when the system has updated itself, and if DFE will stop working, all data will be deleted, and the ROM simply will not start, so it's better to manually set everything.​
Spoiler: ROM Type Official MIUI Fastboot

and there are partitions directly ROM /data, /system /system_ext, /vendor, /product, /odm, /vendor_boot, /boot
2.2 miui based ROMs update all of these sections. In the case of firmware, they are put in both slots at once. Although this is not necessary in essence.
ROMs of a custom type, those based on a "pure" android are often flashed for only partitions of the ROM, but not in 100% case
2.3 For our device, there are 3 types of ROM installation files, 2 of which are divided into two types of installation methods
2.3.1 Let's start simple, Official miui image for fastboot - installation is recommended via miflash, has all partitions inside the archive. There are also 3 files inside - for easy installation of all partitions, for installing all partitions and formatting the memory, as well as for installing all partitions and locking the bootloader (the memory is formatted automatically), the name of the .bat files speaks for themselves
2.3.2 Next - the installation .zip archive of unofficial MIUI for TWRP. Not all partitions, but the main ones (always stitched into section A), including firmware (stitched into both slots A and B)
2.3.3 Sideload type firmware (99% of all custom ROMs) are divided into two installation methods.
Inside the archive there is a payload.bin file in which the rom and sometimes firmware sections are packed
Installation always goes to the adjacent NOT active memory slot, and after completion, makes the adjacent slot active to load the firmware
Installation via PC, via ADB (on the phone, AOSP recovery adb sideload/twrp adb sideload mode) or installation via TWRP directly from the device
2.4 Custom ROMs for fastboot, usually used for a clean installation, which implies cleaning and data from memory (pictures, etc.) inside sometimes have firmware sections and always rom sections. Inside, as the author saw fit, there are .bat launchers for updating (does not erase all data) and for a clean installation (erases all data)
2.5 Another very important feature of the AB structure in our case is two types of fastboot mod. It is called bootloader - official miui is completely flashed through it, and there is a fastbootD mode that is built into the boot sector in aosp recovery or in twrp, it is also needed for flashing img images. Ask what are the differences if this and that fastboot?
The answer is idiotic
Bootloader can flash all main partitions only in both A and B sections at the same time command type - "fastboot flash system_ab system.img"
He knows how to essentially flash a couple of partitions into a certain slot, we only need in this case vendor_boot and boot command type "fastboot flash boot_a boot.img" or instead of A you need to write B
FastbootD, on the other hand, can flash img images separately into the desired slot A or B
2.6 Poco f3/k40/mi11x does not have a separate partition for recovery/twrp,the whole thing is stored in the boot sector in the ramdisk, and the kernel is also stored there. Several factors follow from this knowledge.
2.6.1 To install TWRP, you must first boot into a temporary tvrp, the command type is "fastboot boot twrp.img". Inside TWRP, in the Advanced tab, click install recovery ramdisk, and select the img twrp image on the phone
2.6.3 To install aosp recvoery, you need to flash boot "fastboot boot boot.img"
2.6.4 After installing magisk, as it is stored in the RAMDISK. If you install tvrp again in ramdisk, the magisk will be deleted
2.6.5 When installing the magisk, tvrp does not crash
2.6.6 When installing kernel.zip via TWRP, TWRPis not deleted.
2.6.7 After updating the ROM, or changing the ROM, the TWRPis deleted, since the boot sector is bundled with all the ROMs as a whole and mainly with aosp recovery included, some romodels can immediately push TWRP into it. But it's better to play it safe and flash it yourself
2.6.8 When entering TWRP, it writes the installation .zip archives to the active slot, and always works with the active slot A or B, the exception concerns firmware, wrote above in paragraph 2.3
2.6.9 install recovery ramdis on surveillance writes TWRP to both slots
Spoiler: 3. Regarding TWRP and AOSP recovery
3.1 There are currently only 2 TWRPs from Nebrassy and from vasishath. What is the difference? God knows. In fact, they are bugged equally strongly, so I will write instructions using the example of Nebrassy, from experience there are no problems with it.
3.2 AOSP recovery is like it was 10 years ago cwm recovery if anyone remembers. Serves only for switching to fastbootD and ADB sideload mode, updating the firmware over the air, and sometimes cleaning the data. Supplied by many ROM developers as a necessary component (in fact, not so)
Now, based on the knowledge above, we have an understanding of how and what works. Now we need to disassemble the installation procedure. Here, too, not everything is so simple. There are two options for each installation. And in addition, we have 10 ways to install firmware. Why 10? And all due to the fact that I was unaware and had to write a small script called DFE. Isn't there a ready-made one on the Internet? According to my tests, they simply don't work.
Spoiler: Briefly about DFE
Somewhere 90% of ROM Developers out of the box have such a function as data encryption, DFE removes "flags" from one file in the /vendor section so that the system encrypts the data "Entire /data section" at startup therefore, just like with TWRP, after changing or updating the firmware, you need to flash it through TWRP.
- Why should I remove encryption? - ask a question
I will answer, in fact, there is no need, if only you are ready to always back up all data to a flash drive or PC from the internal memory of the phone when changing the firmware, because not all firmware have the same encryption keys, and you can install the firmware, but it is simply will not start at best, at worst everything will be encrypted over a new one and all files will be lost.
But literally all the instructions from the developers of the ROM are written precisely taking into account the fact that you will format the date when installing their firmware. Also, if encryption is disabled, TvRP will not ask for a password to see the memory, and therefore your data is at risk when the phone is stolen, since it will not be difficult to pull them out.
For all cases, you cannot do format data before installing the firmware, otherwise the PC will not see the memory, format data is done only at the end of the installation.
Spoiler: Installing temporary TWRP
Method 1:
1. We drop twrp.img into the folder with adb
2. In windows, hold down shift + right mouse button in an empty space in the folder, open a shell or cmd
3. The console will open, in the case of win10 / 11, if this is a shell, you need to register cmd
4. Reboot the phone into fastboot mode / bootloader (volume down + power button) and connect it to the computer via the wire
5. We write to the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
6. TWRP will start by itself
Method 2:
1.Download TWRP Autoruner https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HsA1XAEzFgEo0n7K1Vf0QqPlyEICzkpd/view?usp=sharing
2. Unpack anywhere
3. Boot into FastBoot
4. Run the batch file in the folder
Spoiler: Setting TWRP to "permanent" - within the same ROM (Before the first ROM update, or before the first ROM change)
Method 1: Works ALWAYS
1. Go to the advanced tab and select install recvoery ramdisk
2. Find the twrp.img file on your phone and select it
3. If TWRP shows "Error opening: No such file or directory"
then you need to change the active slot in the Reboot contribution, then back and flash TWRP into the ramdisk again
Method 2: For TWRP from Nebrassy does not work 100% of the time
In the same place, in the advanced tab, click flash current TWRP
Method 3: For TWRP from Vasishath. does not work 100%
In the same place, in the advanced tab, click Inject TWRP
Before flashing custom, it is recommended to install a miui stock or a custom miui. It is advisable to drain through a fastboot by analogy with the spoiler instruction, from point 1 to point 9
This is done in order to update all sections in memory, remove tails from other ROMs. Refresh the markup of the sections. Otherwise, there may be errors, not working conditional nfc, lags, whatever. In the best case, the ROM simply won't be installed. At worst, there will be a bad opinion about the ROM because of your own wrong actions and an extra day for flashing and configuring another or the same ROM.
All files are additional here​
Spoiler: If the memory in TWRP is not visible
1. You saw that the PC does not see the memory on the device, or the tvrp is empty (this already means that all the data has been erased)
2. Download one of these TVRPs to your computer
recovery_vasishath_nonflags.img or recovery_nebrassy_nonflags.img
3. Through that TWRP where everything is empty, we do format data (yes)
4. Reboot bootloader
5. On the PC we prescribe "fastboot boot twrp.img" any of the post
6. TvRP is loaded (the computer and TWRP sees the memory, but this is not all, nothing will work)
7. In the advanced tab, click fix context
8. In the mounts tab, remove the checkbox from the date and put it back.
9. Now you can upload files from your computer
10. You flash the ROM, you can not do the date format again, when the system boots, it will erase everything from memory, and if you did not set dfe, then the date itself will be encrypted, if you set the data in the same way, it will be erased, but there will be no encryption.
Note:
These TWRPs will not see the date (files in memory) if the data is encrypted, usually TWRP asks for a password when entering it, or you can see it in the security tab.
This TWRP works fine with the already decrypted date, if you use the DFE patch, everything works normally
In this TWRP, the encryption flags are simply removed, so that after the date format when entering TVRP, the date is not encrypted with keys from TWRP and does not break from this
Spoiler: Installation using DFE patch (HentaiOS and Proton AOSP excluded)
When using DFE, you should not use internal methods of updating in ROM, when the firmware is updated in the background, and when you reboot it is already updated, as I wrote earlier, the sections are updated, and therefore the DFE stops working, and it is rather difficult to predict when the system has updated itself, and if DFE will stop working, all data will be deleted, and the ROM simply will not start, so it's better to manually set everything.​

Hi @LeeGarChat thanks for your interest in my SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW script
Does it work well on your Poco F3 device? You never sent me your log files...
If you're going to use my SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW project (or parts thereof) in your thread and make a video about it could you please at least have the decency to include a visible link (not hidden inside of spoiler tags!) to
the official SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW by lebigmac project thread​in the first post of this thread as well as in your video description? Thanks
And please keep in mind that unauthorized, unverified re-uploads of my SystemRW project files are not allowed!
The official download links in the official SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW by lebigmac thread work just fine!
I can't offer any customer support for old, unofficial, deprecated, unverified versions of my script which were reuploaded by 3rd parties but I can only offer support for the latest official version of my script downloaded directly from the official SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW by lebigmac project thread
Thank you!
Good news! New version of © SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW™ by lebigmac ® coming soon! Stay tuned!​

Hey Guys i need your help, i followed all the steps in that post but i could not find the " Onekey injection" so i ignored that step and installed the xiaomi eu rom. Everything went well, now when i want to boot in recovery mode it shows up the stock recovery
So my question is when i want to update my phone in the future, i have to install it through TWRP and if my data will be lost or no?

which version did you flash of xiaomi eu, the weekly or the stable?
The latest versions should flash twrp as well. However, if you only upgrade there is no need to format data, so you do not lose your data, I always recommend that you do a backup before any modding operation because you never know what can happen.
To flash twrp download the image from here:
[RECOVERY] [12] [OFFICIAL] TeamWin Recovery Project
Introduction: Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added...
forum.xda-developers.com
put the image filenametwrp.img in the folder where there is adb and fastboot
go to the folder where there is adb and fastboot, rename the filenametwrp.img to twrp.img then go to the address bar and type cmd and press enter, (a prompt window should open)
(In the phone) make sure you have enabled usb debug in developer settings and have authorized the pc.
now turn off the phone and start it in fastboot, then connect it to the pc via the usb cable
in the cmd you opened before type this
Code:
fastboot deviced
to check if it is recognized
if the phone code appears you can boot twrp by typing this
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
hit enter and the phone should boot into twrp
now in twrp go to advanced and search "install current twrp" in the options at the bottom below and flash.
you should now have twrp.

I'll reply in his stead ....
As of now - latest Xiaomi betas for global 12.5.4 it does not work correctly doing it the way he described ( flashing 1.32rw inside twrp has to be done twice lol ) After flashing it twice you have to flash his patch then reboot the phone and format data.
Now phone will say decrypted but for who knows what reason everything is broken. Lots of silent crashes from the systemui and overall slowdown of the system/several apps refusing to work.
Fast charging is gone as well....
Strangely much less stuff appears to be broken in EEA version of the miui , still needs flashing twice the main script but at least fast charging works afterwards. System is slightly more stable but still overall suffering from slowdown.
I personally found that manual method of creating image from booted android does work somewhat. You only need to do it once by executing systemrw.sh then flashing the super.img .
What's the catch? You can't flash super.img through "fastboot flash super" command , it mangles partitions to the point where /vendor and /odm can't mount inside twrp.
I am curious tho maybe I don't need to enter twrp after flashing super image via fastboot? Maybe his fix is not necessary then and I just need to wipe and boot system to fix /vendor and /odm not being able to mount.... Hmmm
I'll try this when I'm free sometime , but for now I'm not using this due to performance issues mainly.
His script does let you at least get that decrypted status but for who knows what reason lots of stuff is broken... Could be magisk being flashed onto phone before partitions are extracted or overall twrp not being anywhere close to stable enough to handle all of this?

@Rstment ^m^
I can nowhere read sth. about this rw Script . Where does it play a role ? I just wanna flash a xiaomi.eu Rom. Are you talking about the official weekly/stable ?

If you like my SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW script and want to share your feedback with me (the original developer of SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW) or have any questions related to my script then please feel free to ask me in
the official SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW by lebigmac project thread ​

As of now - latest Xiaomi betas for global 12.5.4 it does not work correctly doing it the way he described ( flashing 1.32rw inside twrp has to be done twice lol ) After flashing it twice you have to flash his patch then reboot the phone and format data.

I do NOT recommend formatting /data after running my SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW script in recovery! You will lose all your personal files if you do this!
You just have to make sure that /data partition is properly decrypted and mounted in your custom recovery before running my SystemRW / SuperRW feat. MakeRW script. That's all.

im on miui global 12.5.6 do i need to flash the stock rom before flashing custom rom?

I tried the Custom MIUI Process with OneOS and when flashing ROM and after Recovery to Ramdisk and reboot, the internal storage contents disappear. What is the reason ? Caused both on 3.5.2 TWRP and 3.6.0 Official one.

Can be used as reference for xiaomi 11t pro? Cause I didn't see any custom rom for this device
