Update to Marshmallow - Which ROM and how when TWRP is installed?

Hi everybody,
currently the Lenovo K3 Note runs with Android 5.0 K50a40_S121_150813_ROW (Kao-Alpha2).
OTA provides K50a40_S121_150813_ROW_TO_K50a40_S322_160314_ROW but when downloading the update and confirming the installation phone ends up in TWRP without any further action. I can try to search the downloaded file and install it from TWRP but I did not find it.
When trying to update this file from TWRP by renaming it to update.zip and moving it to the phone update fails with message: unmount of /data failed (-1): Invalid argument script aborted: This package is for "Lenovo K50a40" devices; this is a "Lenovo K3 Note" Error executing updater binary in zip ... Error installing zip file
Does anybody know why this is failing?
Additionally I found within web K50a40_S205_151118_ROW_TO_K50a40_S422_160315_ROW.
Now I am puzzled which ROM version is the correct one? Does anybody by chance know? Could not yet find any information regarding this topic within WWW.
Also I am struggling to get into TWRP by myself. When phone is off and I press volume up and power key I only end up in chinese ROM where I cannot read anything. Can I install OTA version from there? And how can I get into TWRP if wanted?
There are no enhanced reboot menu options and key combination mentioned only brings chinese recovery version up.
Any help appreciated.
Bye

The OTA package can be installed by stock recovery only.
To update the rom using twrp you have to download the full rom.

But TWRP recovery does not work for installing the OTA update! Is there any way to get into stock recovery which is english (I could enter into some stock mode after switching on - but its chinese only)?

If your rooted and have twrp then follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537.
If not rooted use KingRoot on PC it worked for me

Thank you (and sorry for that very late reply). I finally managed to install ROM from above mentioned link (was no prio task for quite a long time).
Unfortunately SMS is gone (not existing within that ROM) and not OTA update is shown.
In addition I also cannot install the downloaded OTA version - the same error still occurs: "This package is for "Lenovo K50a40" devices; this is a "Lenovo K3 Note" Error executing updater binary in zip" => so installing the Stock variant from mentioned thread did not help unfortunately!
Is the version from above link already the lastest one? Any ideas, hints, etc.?

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 .

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?

Requesting help for updating to V9.2.1.0.NDDMIEK on Magisk-ed Oxygen

Hi, I'm currently running MIUI Global 9.0 Stable 9.0.3.0 (NDDMIEI) in my Mi Max 2.
I have followed the guide to install the TWRP 3.1.1 and have rooted via Magisk method and running it.
I have received the OTA update V9.2.1.0.NDDMIEK and is downloaded automatically.
I'm guessing I can't install this OTA downloaded update via TWRP? Do I have to wait for the flashable zip of this update?
Or should I unroot, flash stock recovery and then do the OTA update, and then repeat the TWRP and Magisk again?
Thank you for any help.

I have same problem. Anybody can help ? Thanks !

You can let it update, with no problem at all. After you hit the restart to apply update button, it will direct you to TWRP and you can flash the OTA update using twrp. It will not cause bootloop, or whatsoever. You will just need to hit the restart button after TWRP have flashed the OTA and it will reboot to apply update. However, you will need to flash TWRP again if you didn't change something in the terminal cuz Miui recovery will replace twrp. It's like a code to make TWRP to replace MIUI recovery permanently. ( It has a guide somewhere in this forum to teach you how to use TWRP to replace MIUI recovery permanently) Ok, so if you didn't change the code, you have to flash TWRP everytime you update via OTA. I flash TWRP again and again nearly every week after OTA cuz I'm on developer rom and developer rom nearly updates every week. So the main point is, no worries ya. You can go ahead and flash the OTA as it won't cause bootloop.

Hmm....wait. So you go to TWRP and flash the rom? I mean, you manually reboot into recovery, and then manually flash the OTA? It can't be done like that, for sure will get error. What i meant and what i always did is let the download manager downloaded the OTA package( The download manager is in the "about phone" section), then after done downloading, press reboot and it will automatically direct you to TWRP and it flashes the OTA packages automatically and will be succesful. But if your problem still persists, i have no idea what's going on. Maybe the global rom OTA packages is different from Developer's one.

As for me, the first time my phone downloaded the incremental update which was a few hundred MB in size, when I pressed update, it went to TWRP. But from there nothing happened. It just showed the home screen of the TWRP. After waiting for a few minutes, I simply rebooted using TWRP's menu.
When returned to system, the phone said the update was not successful and mentioned something about downloading full rom. When I woke up, it had completed download the full rom which is 1.43GB.
I haven't updated yet, using MIUI menu, until I want to make sure how to correctly update without problems.
I don't mind reflashing TWRP and and MAGISK again, though. Just wanted to update without getting into some sort of trouble which may prolong the process of getting back to normal working status.
Just made a TWRP backup.
Thanks for any suggestions.

the link you have provided is not a stock miui rom updates. its only the twrp flashable firmware update packages which is very helpful for people using custom roms. custom rom users can update firmware packages without flashing stock MIUI for each MIUI update

no need for custom roms, u only need twrp. so if u prefer twrp flashing but still keeping stock miui firmware, this is a nice option. other than the twrp install routine there is nothing changed in those roms.

Tried to flash twrp. Can't boot into recovery anymore.

Hi i tried to root my P9. I unlocked the bootloader successfully and i can flash the recovery but i can't boot into recovery anymore. I get stuck on "Your device is booting now...". Also i tried to flash twrp onto recovery2 which is often suggested and that didn't help either. What i find weird it that adb doesn't allow me to erase a partition "FAILED: (remote: Command not allowed). Also the phone still works normal and i can use android. I also tried to flash a stock recovery but that still doesn't boot into the recovery. I couldn't find any advice online that would help me further. Hope someone can help me out.

You probably flashed incorrect TWRP -
you didn't even mention are you on MM (EMUI 4) or N (EMUI 5)
Different TWRP images must be used, but from the corresponding XDA Huawei P9 (MM or N) threads - not something maybe from elswhere on Internet
Also, if it didn't work from Recovery then no chance that it would work from eRecovery (if wrong TWRP, not ported to Huawei P9 and your EMUI version, it will not ecognize partitions and encryption, no matter if flashed to Recovery or eRecovery)
For example, if you didn't spoil also eRecovery, you would be simply able now to (re)Install latest firmware and recovery from eRecovery, and it would fix your stock Recovery
Otherwise, you should flash Recovery and eRecovery (extracted by Huawei Extractor from update.app, unzipped from FullOTA update.zip corresponding to your exact stock firmware and build you have).
Or, reinstall your stock firmware by DLOAD method (FullOTA-MF-PV package must be used for DLOAD)
You can also just flash the correct TWRP (but I strongly recommend to recover the stock eRecovery anyway), find the correct ports for MM, N and O here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72153575&postcount=2
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787111
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77161313&postcount=2
If you are on Nougat, you can also find on XDA (actually, zipped in HWOTA/HWOTA7 packages from links 2 and 3 above) the so-called no-check Recovery, it can replace Recovery (but not eRecovery) img for any EMUI 5 stock firmware)
---
Btw, for Magisk (root), you don't need TWRP. Just install Magisk Manager app and patch your extracted Boot.img (MM and N, on Oreo Ramdisk.img), then flash the patched img from Fastboot

TWRP.me (apparently) is the official TWRP site but you can see that they only have one TWRP img file (for each new TWRP release) for Huawei P9 (EVA) - hence they don't care, they are not aware of different organization of partitions (sizes, names and encryption) coming with different EMUI versions.
And from their P9 Changelog (screenshot attached) you can see that last adaptation for P9 was made in May 2016, when P9 had its original Marshmallow (EMUI 4).
Below is XDA thread from 2017 when Nougat (EMUI 5) was released and a guy who ported to (with description of changes he made). TWRP for EMUI 5 I gave you the link in previous answer is based on his port, but made after he stopped maintaining it (he moved off from P9), hence it is still TWRP 3.2.1.0 but with slight change (somebody else fixed/improved I think which partitions are mounted by default and/or what will be erased by Factory reset option - I don't recall details anymore)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703
Btw, you are not the first who soft-bricked P9 (with Nougat) by installing the 'official' TWRP (you could search here on XDA P9 sub-forum, I recall I similarly helped to two or three of them last year and this year) and who had to move to the proper port from XDA to unbrick - the 'official' TWRP seems to be good only for those who are stuck with Marshmallow / EMUI 4 from 2016 (most likely those who got stuck with the cust c900, 'international' cust at that time, that was never updated by Huawei to Nougat while they introduced new custs for different world regions, countries and operators when they started to sell and support the phone out of China)
It would be fair if TWRP.me at least makes a note on which stock firmware version they test their 'official' P9 releases...

Clearing up TWRP ambiguity versions + rooting MIUI pie

There is confusion over which recoveries to install for Redmi 6 (cereus).
Failure to install the correct TWRP will result in a hard brick with no chance of restoring the device without an authorised account or going to a Mi Service Centre.
If you are currently on the MIUI Oreo ROM:
You may ONLY use TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
The recovery by either TWRP or LR.Team is both ok.
If you are on the PIE rom:
You MUST use TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2 nocrypt Pie is confirmed to be working by me.
To root MIUI pie, follow the instructions in this post from 4PDA. This is because you will be unable to decrypt data.
You need to create an account to download the patched boot.img. You can either create one yourself or ask me or someone else to PM you with the boot.img. I will not attach it to this thread because it is not my work. The files have now been attached. See post below.
All credits go towards the respective recovery authors and 4pda

OK here are the boot files from 4pda

I did something wrong just don't know what
I tried with OrangeFox and when rebooted in recovery the phone would not turn on and just vibrates.
I was lucky because I just needed to open and remove the battery to get the phone back up.

So just to get it right (please correct me if i'm wrong):
Starting from unlocked MIUI stock with android 8.1 base:
0) Download patched boot image from OP
1)Download TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
2)Download Magisk 19.3 Stable (would the latest stable also work https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445?)
3)Download official Pie Rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip
4)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP
5)Enter TWRP -> Flash the Pie Rom -> Flash patched boot.img -> flash Magisk
6)Boot into system -> Leave the device alone for 2-3 minutes and install Magisk Manager
7)Download -> TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2
8)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP/OrangeFox
would this be the correct procedure?
cheers

?????????????????????
Why don't you skip steps 1-3 and just use XiaoMi Flash to install 10.4.4.0 via Fastboot by 'saving user data', then follow the instructions here? XiaoMiFlash will overwrite your recovery with the default so there is no risk of a brick. Then Flash TWRP Pie, flash boot img, flash magisk.
As I have said, you will brick your device. If you have TWRP Oreo, and then you install MIUI Pie, you will brick your device. You are doing EXACTLY what I told you not to do!

It didn't come out as clearly as you think. maybe it's my own deficiency.
btw whenever i flashed any update via TWRP the recovery got replaced by stock recovery as well.
(I don't tell this to call into question that your suggested way of doing was the most safe way.)
Is XiaoMi Flash available for linux as well?
edit: do you know if the latest magisk stable 20.0 would also work?

I'm not sure - I have never flashed any MIUI ROM in TWRP. It seems normal though - the updaterscript probably tells TWRP to overwrite itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-miflash-linux-t3708847 It's a bit complicated

This work for me :
1 - Install Pie Rom https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip with TWRP 3.3.1 https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/62 or with another method.
2 - Shut down the phone , go to fastboot (Vol - and power), plug to computer.
3 - From the computer fastboot flash boot boot_10.4.4.0_R6_mgsk_193.img (see the second post of this thread).
4 - fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0602-REDMI6-CN-wzsx150.img
5 - Recovery (Vol+ and power)
6 - Install Magisk 19.3
Reboot and enjoy

Hi, currently I'm on stable China mui v10.4.3.0. Do you have boot.img on that v10.4.3.0. Currently link only provide boot.img for v10.4.2.0 for the china version. If no how do I get those, can I just backup them from twrp, Then create patched boot img with those backup boot? Thanks

I have the camera and flashlight problem too. Any fix?

Unfortunately, I didn't find any solution.
Currently, my phone does not start, has a black screen and vibrates all the time. I can't run it in any way
EDIT:
Hi.
I was able to bring the phone to life. Get instructions on how to get to the battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9FH88b16bc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAflA4UKLLY. In orangeFox recovery I checked the flashlight, it works.

That makes us two. My phone is unusable at the moment. I thought the root was responsible for the camera bugs, I uninstalled magisk, the bug was still there. I tried to reinstall MIUI 10.4.4 ang got an error. I've wiped everything including vendor and system.

I clean dalvik and cache and for now the phone is working even, after flash the patch boot.img

Hello this is the steps i did but when rebooting to recovery i end up on blackcreen or mai i say powered off screen with the device unable to boot to recovery,any ideas what i did wrongly?

It seems there is something wrong with that boot patch. I followed a procedure on youtube and my phone is succesfully rooted without any bug

@ambyy
what guide did you use on YouTube?

Hard brick caused by flashing wrong TWRP is indeed able to get solved with unplugging the battery.
