Installing Official MIUI using TWRP Discussion

Hey Guys, anyone already tried the link below on installing Official MIUI using TWRP?
How to Install Official Rom with TWRP Recovery!
I've been meaning to try Official MIUI for a long time now, and by doing so I ran obstacles along the way either using MIFlash tool or TWRP - nothing works. But I just saw the method I linked above, and could be the missing piece I need to install the rom thru TWRP.
The OP of that tried it with Redmi 3S. So I'm just wondering maybe someone here already made it worked with MI5?

I could update from global dev 6.11.10 to global dev 7.1.19 with miui built in updater . After downloading nougat it rebooted to twrp and installed the rom normally. The only thing is i lost twrp replaced by stock one .

Download latest MIUI and flash normal with twrp if update is fastboot method twrp replace to stock recovery

What should I wipe in TWRP - data; system; cache; dalvik? Which of them?

recommended is for you to wipe data,system,dalvik and cache to avoid possible force close window pop out when opening an app, however if you are going to one rom to another eg. aosp-miui global-dev or anything in particular i found out that wiping everything (avoid the efs partition of course) is the best choice for peace of mind, one final thought is only do this if you had other means to bring your phone back to life if other recovery method such as the ability to boot into edl mode is working for you and always do a full system backup of your current rom just in case, hope that helps

Currently, I am using MIUI EU rom and TWRP 3.0.2.0 . Ive tried several times of flashing official global MIUI and failed several times. So tried my luck with miflash tool months ago, but still unsuccessfull. And that's the reason I posted the method above, maybe it is the thing that I am missing.
But, it still continues to puzzle me why others , and even you, can successfully install official MIUI thru TWRP. weird.

can't find the line they talk about in that script. Did anyone managed to install miui trough TWRP on the Mi5?

Issu with trying to flash TWRP

Hello everyone,
I have a redmi note 4X with MTK soc
The bootloader is unlocked.
I want to flash TWRP recovery. I use adb, the "nickel " TWRP, and message in the cmd window was "ok"
but when i reboot, whatever the way (buttons or adb reboot), it still reboot on the stock recovery.
I've tryed many times, even with a "moly" TWRP (with my MI 4S, the "aqua" didn't work and I had to flash the "libra" one and it was all effective)
Tryed to re install adb, etc.
Wathever, it's always "ok" in adb but still reboot on the stock recovery.
Does anyone have a clue? what is blocking?
Thanks for help

You should get more help in Redmi note 4X(NIckel) section as you've posted into Redmi 4X section.
i believe many of us might not be familiar with Redmi note 4X(NIckel) with flashing Recovery since it is a mediatek chipset device.
i would highly suggest you to post into Redmi note 4X(NIckel) section for better help.
anyways have you tried flashing recovery with SP Flash tools?

Alright, thank you I haven't seen the specific section, i move the thread.

thanks i'm currently waiting for the bootloader unlock count down
can you give me some instructions to flash TWRP on the phone cause i'm kinda new to this stuff

Use latest magsik manger apk extract your boot.img from your stock firmware then patch boot.img using magsik manger then flash the patched boot.img and first of all unlock your bootloader I recommend you use mi unlock sent request for unlocking your bootloader

Unable to install official TWRP in Redmi 8, Miui 11.0.7. It installed. and then vanished when rebooted. and then boot looped. Had to flash original recovery and boot img to reboot.
Had made sure that I didn't boot to system after flashing TWRP. and boot to recovery instead. It flashed okay. Could use the root after installing Magisk. But on reboot, all was gone. Boot looped.

hi bro how did you unlock bootloader on redmi 8 its on 11.0.6.0

Hey people, I have the same problem installing TWRP. When I reboot after installing twrp.img, the recovery mode show me the recovery from the original ROM stock. I made this process hundred of times and gets the same result, original Redmi recovery erase TWRP recovery.
If someone know any solution I would really appreciate it.

Should I flash lazy flasher or not

Hi!
I'm new here and doing some research on flahing pixel experience rom on redmi 4 santoni running on miui 11 based on android nougat.
I've read and watched videos through several guides. I am not sure about flashing lazy flasher.
Now, I know that it disable dm Verity while flashing new custom ROM in Redmi 4 santoni.
Is it necessary to flash lazy flasher along with TWRP image while trying to install the custom ROM after successfully rebooting TWRP recovery without starting miui 11?
Thanks, in advance!

I've flash a lot of custom roms, never flash lazy flasher. So I think you don't need it.

When I read TWRP installation procedure for my Redmi 4X device in the official website twrp.me they warned me, "This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab".
Videos tutorial for Redmi 4X are also suggesting for and flashing lazy flasher in order to avoid bootloop in this device.
Also, does this lazy flasher permenantly disable DM Verity of a device? Is it safe to use?
I just don't want to root my device.

Try without lazy flasher. Its hard to brick this device. Only unlock bootloader and do the rest things to flash custom rom.
When it comes to twrp use orangefox

Hi. there's no need to flash lazy flasher over custom ROM. It is needed only in the case you want to use TWRP + stock MIUI

Alcatel 1 5033D Custom Recovery

Hey, i've been looking for some time for a custom recovery, cwm or twrp for my alcatel phone and i can't seem to find one, anyone has ever seen one or something. I am having problems to update the custom rom i installed from this post and i think it might work with another recovery. Thanks

You can't Install a custom recovery on an Alcatel 1 , as it doesn't allows a user to flash recovery, even if you use the command "Flash recovery twrp.img" you'll get an error "Failed (Only System partition can be flashed"). So it's not possible to install recovery.

You can download the updated GSI and re-follow the steps in the guide.

what is the gsi?
