Can anyone provide a TWRP file for this tablet
We all gonna appreciate it
有人有twrp吗？我找了好久都没找到能正常使用的
why would you want twrp when there are no roms?
you could try flashing a gsi, or rooting the tab though..
gsi guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/run-an-gsi-on-your-mi-pad-5.4352591/
root guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...p-by-step-pass-safetynet-widevine-l1.4412555/
apparently all GSIs have bugs with this device though, so maybe go for root.

Since when was TWRP specific to flashing ROM only? People use TWRP to perform nandroid backup or for flashing zip files for Magisk modules or whatever. Flashing ROM is just one of the things you can do.
And why would you stick with stock recovery anyway? Having custom recovery like TWRP or FOX is always a good thing, regardless of custom ROM availability or not. People should learn about the fundamentals of a recovery.

Sorry mate but I am aware of magisk modules and all, that's why I linked a root guide...
Also, on xiaomi devices unlocking the bootloader is a long and tedious process, and the Mi Pad 5 was relatively new when I made my reply, so I didn't want to:
(a) void someone's warranty
(b) encourage them to flash unofficial, untested TWRP (most likely bugged anyways)
(c) brick their device by flashing beta TWRP
Of course, I understand that custom recoveries have many advantages over stock, but at the time of writing my reply, there were no official custom recoveries for this device, and there were only a couple of beta/untested builds.
Cheers!
PS: No one would make a nandroid backup if they weren't going to make modifications to their device (adb/root/magisk), so really, all uses of custom roms stem off of device modifications, which are granted through root access.
EDIT: Sorry I just checked, there were no TWRP builds available at the time of my reply, hence why I provided none and also asked that sarcastic question. At the time, you had to manually patch the boot.img via adb.

Hey, guys, I wanted to ask if someone tried OTA updates working with the new method of rooting released with magisk 14- a rooting method in which we do not need root or custom recovery beforehand, we just need to provide stock boot image dump to the magisk manager. This method will do us good because if OTA's still work after root we can be rooted on the stock roms without having to download full OTA's when a new update arrives. If someone can confirm working OTA's on the OOS open beta with this root method, it would be really helpful. Thank you!
As long as you take a backup of system and keep TWRP installed so you have a backup to revert to it should be fine. The risk of issues is just too high unless you don't give a **** about your personal data.

Bro, I know how to work with TWRP. Your comment does not answer the question.

Well think of it about this. Magisk is just one big hack on the system partition. An OTA changes files on the system partition aswell. What if the OTA changes files that Magisk needs?
1. Your phone will go into a bootloop.
2. You might end up bricking it.
3. You just have to reflash Magisk.
4. Your phone becomes buggy as hell.
Thats why we also recommend to install the full zips when flashing roms and kernels that modify system because of possible conflicts.

Obviously I would uninstall magisk and then install ota and reinstall magisk. Magisk is systemless so I think there shouldn't be any problem.

You have missed the whole point of the post. This is a NEW method. Many people have not tried this method of root. So please, if you have any valuable information then only share. Do not litter. There should be logic to your answer and not general acceptance. Saying that many people do this or do that is not a very solid answer.

That doesn't matter. I get that it can be installed without a custom recovery. But that doesn't mean it won't conflict with possible ota's. Again, see it for yourself. Most people including me do rather play it the safe way.
I have recently updated to the lateset Oxygen OS Beta i had Magisk installed, i use Sparks Latest twrp version, with this you can install OTA updates. I dit not unlinstalled Magisk first, you do need the full rom file, but for me when i wanted to install the OTA, it found i had rooted and autmatacly downloaded the full rom. After you installed the update you can install the latest version of Magisk.
Hi everyone
Sorry I am confused; there does not seem to be an ultimate universal root / twrp installation guide for the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone (my son's phone) in 2019.
No offense intended but all these various posts on the topic just help to confuse people!
I managed to unlock the bootloader but can anybody please tell me what is the easiest / user-friendliest way to install twrp (which version?) and root the phone so that I may proceed with flashing LineageOS afterwards to get rid of all the bloatware.?
what about these partitions A & B?
Thanks a lot in advance
https://github.com/tkchn/daisyinstall/blob/master/README.md
This is the guide youre looking for
@barumbads: Thank YOU!
[EDIT] er... this is for flashing a custom rom!
I did some extra research out of XDA
[Guide] How to root Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
and
How To Root Mi A2 / A2 Lite (Magisk) and Install TWRP Recovery
but again... confusing! which one should I go for?
(I already tried the later one and created another post following an issue with it!)

It depends on what you want to do.
Root doesnt need TWRP, just Magisk. There's a guide on here.
Flashing custom ROMs needs TWRP. Each custom ROM has specific instructions.
There's no one-size-fits-all solution for this phone.

Hi @a1291762 & thanks.
This is what I am saying it is confusing; I have been thru a few phones (samsungs, LGs, lately Xiaomi...)
and the process was first install twrp then root and then you could flash roms
I know when you flash LineageOS, you get root included in dev options so from your explanations I will look how to flash LineageOS but currently I'm struggling installing twrp as you have seen in my other post

My last phone didn't have A/B or encryption or use Magisk for rooting... So for me everything about this phone was new and different.
I started with stock (android one means I didn't immediately want a custom ROM). Then added Magisk. I added TWRP after edxposed caused me bootloops (magisk manager CLI can run from TWRP). I haven't installed a custom ROM yet but I've got a custom splash and bootanim.
Any way to get magisk and TWRP on latest stock firmware?
Yes.
If you want both, you might as well install TWRP first since you need to reinstall Magisk after TWRP.
There are guides on the forum but they tend to focus on one or the other.
For OTA updates you'll need to jump through hoops due to the modified partitions.

second. i never liked stock roms so again... if i put twrp i can flash whatever rom i want or there are steps every time so i wont brick the phone? thank u guys for ur time
dont do it
For rooting stock ROM, you can flash twrp and flash magisk but you should be careful to pick a recovery which is for android 10 and also not for CFW.
For flashing custom roms, you should read the megathread. It's not very complicated and if you follow the exact steps, you will not get bricked.

It's all explained in the megathread, sir. For custom ROMs you need CFW recovery but for you to be on CFW you need to flash CFW with a non-CFW recovery.
Best way to do it is in the CrDroid post.
Have a nice day!
tl;dr: flash Android 9 then megathread

i tried rooting with magisk on latest android 10 miui 11 , basically you will fail safetynet and basic integrity will fail as well you can try to hide fingerprint with magisk busybox and props module and type su to give termux root access and edit fingerprint to pixel 4 but it's not guaranteed i don't know if there is google attestation hardware in begonia anyways you can try.
here's a pic from pixel experience safetynet.(not rooted)

I want to flash custom rom on this phone, but without twrp I can't flash zip file, so I'm stuck with older version of gsi, without twrp, I can't root my devices for other Rom, so if anyone had skill to do so, please take your time and build twrp for people in needs, thanks
Which custom ROM?
Surely the custom ROM developer will have instructions of how to flash their custom ROM.....

GSI can be flashed over ADB & TWRP thats what he means

GSI is a system image. On a dynamic partition device, that should be flashed through fastbootd. TWRP isn't needed for that.
TWRP will come, everyone must be patient...
Do you believe there will be any custom rom (not GSI) for this device?
As I research on previous models it doesn't seems like is ever going to happen
Not many but ROG 3 had a few custom ROMS...
Yesterday I posted a Beta TWRP for this device on Telegram. If you want to try it, here's the link:
EDIT: Removed TG link. See two posts down.
You barely need custom ROMs for these devices. The stock firmware is already quite lean and you can pretty much tweak, change and optimize them as you please. Signature spoofing works too...
