TO ALL DEVS: reboot into recovery from system does not work - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

After flashing the newest firmware from 7.11.16 rom i cannot reboot into recovery or bootloader from system's reboot menu (in my case on aex 4.6 rom).
I've noticed that the aboot partition (emmc_appsboot.mbn) is different size than on older firmwares (eg. from 7.10.19 rom) and reboot into recovery from system works with this older firmware.
Is there any way to fix this?

-flash the fastboot MIUI rom, then try to flash twrp again.

mokee fixed in nightly,lineage and aex will follow soon

Do apps like "simple reboot" work?

Did you patch emmc_appsboot.mbn or some file in the rom itself?
EDIT: i unpacked the firmware from your lineageos release from 22.11 and noticed that you took the firmware from miui 7.11.16 and patched the emmc_appsboot.mbn, because only this file is different than original. i'll try to flash only this file and see if it works on aex.
EDIT: i flashed only the patched emmc_appsboot.mbn via fastboot and the reboot to recovery from aex doesn't work. so the dev has to patch also sth. in the rom. let's just wait...

Can't install official update zip file in TWRP

I would install Global Dev ROM 7.2.16 miui_MI5Global_7.2.16_ab1851be8e_7.0.zip in TWRP (last version 3.0.2-3) but after installation, my phone not boot to system it stuck at mi.com screen.
If I flash other custom ROMs then everything is OK
Does this mean that I can't install official MIUI zip files in TWRP?

This has been discussed many times. Do not flash stock miui rom with TWRP. Use Miflash tool instead.
in the setting
choose the 'support official update'
@muchlas46
I can't use Miflash because if I will flash this file using Miflash then TWRP will be overwrite.
And If I would do that and then install again TWRP it will be asking me in first entry to decrypt data so I have to format freshly installed Global Dev ROM so I'm back in start point.
I would have TWRP, unlocked bootloader(have it) and GLOBAL dev, so to do that?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/tool-flashable-firmware-twrp-easy-t3474898
flash "Latest one -> Developer 7.2.9 Firmware:",then flash custom ROM(ex:Lineage OS)
I don't wan't custom ROM, I want to install official ROM from this e.g Global dev :
http://en.miui.com/download-299.html#443
anh have this official ROM with TWRP as recovery, is any hint to do this?
I want the EXACLY same thing LOL and i try everything but i cant have TWRP and Global dev, sorry i just wait with you for one solution.
I have idea how to do this but I'am afraid bricking my phone
Inside official fastboot file, after extracting is folder "images" inside is recovery.img file - this is stock recovery.
It could be maybe possible to replace this file to twrp file and leave it with the same name, then during Mi-flash will be TWRP installed instead stock recovery.
1. flash the firmware given above.
2.nougat miui often doesn't boot with only a clean twrp flash,that's why you have to flash the nougat firmware posted above.
else
1.flash 6.11 marshmallow global beta.
2.reboot
3.now flash nougat beta

Stuck in bootloop after Xposed install [Magisk][Exposed][Recovery]

Device is stuck in bootloop after I installed Xposed framework module from magisk manager .
I've tried uninstalling magisk , but the uninstall package terminates with error .
Then I flashed stock boot.img , it is booting but I cannot disable the module as magisk isn't installed.
Is there a way I can removed magisk's files / uninstall magisk modules manually from twrp .
Thanks !
(If there is some more relevant place for this thread , please let me know I'll post this there.)
Edit: Fixed it!
you will have to reflash entire system.img + boot.img again with proper wiping.

If youll get into bootloop i suggest you trying to wipe system and data partitions from fastboot (important), then flash stock ROM and then flash the GSI. This most of the time worked for me as clear GSI flash. So steps may not be necessary.

You can restore boot.img by installing Magisk uninstaller update ( it's available on Magisk thread I think) , or download a fastboot update for your device to get stock boot.img

root with magisk doesnt work --> bootloop ?

hello guys,
i want to root my redmi 9 with magisk. i tried to use the "patched boot.img method", but everytime i land in a bootloop.
im on miui global 12.5.3 stable, android 11. bootloader unlocked!
i took that magisk version: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0 (v23.0 - as apk)
than i was on that page: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900381
on that page i took on the left "redmi 9 global" - which calls:
Code:
Stable ROM
Author: MIUI Official Team
Version: V12.5.3.0.RJCMIXM (MIUI11)
Size: 2.2G
i extracted the archive and copied magisk.apk and boot.img to my download-folder on my smartphone. patched the boot.img with magisk. than copied the patched boot.img to my pc.
after that i bootet the phone into fastboot mode. than i flashed the patched boot.img with fastboot flash boot patchedboot.img - used than fastboot reboot and than im in the bootloop.
can someone tell me, what i am doing wrong?
(ps: when i flash the unpatched boot.img i get no bootloop and my phone is starting again - but of course with no root )
thanks

If I understood correctly, as well as you don't mention about that, you didn't deactivate the AVB mechanism by flashing the stock vbmeta image with the command fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta [your vbmeta.img file], which is documented that if Magisk is installed without that procedure, the device is bootlooping (see this guide).
oh, i see. yes, i didnt use that command. but now i got it working. i read that twrp isnt really compatible with the redmi9 and i need another recovery.
i used that now: https://sourceforge.net/projects/shrp/
vbmeta from post #4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dont-use-twrp-on-redmi-9-use-shrp.4334123/
than i did that:
fastboot flash recovery *.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta *.img
fastboot reboot recovery
from there i installed integrated magisk v23.0
phone reboot...got root.
I have read that there are issues with TWRP and Magisk (as far as I know, even its developer mentions that). Although I never got SHRP to work properly on my device and I always get bootloop issues with that. Do you know if it's because of the version I run? I currently run MIUI 11.0.2.0, which I think it's the device's original version.
uh im sorry. im also new to the shrp recovery. i had only used twrp so far.
did you try to flash this version i linked? if its not working you can fast flashback ur twrp. maybe just give it a try?

I don't think I have tried that. I think at the worst case, because I run MIUI I'll just roll back to it's original recovery image. I'm just asking because I don't see mentions of software versions.
what smartphone do you own?

Only the stock global rom is for recovery, xiaomi.eu rom is for fastboot.
I can boot the twrp.img, but I can't navigate in the main menu. It won't do anything

Probably twrp is not yet compatible with the new android 12 firmware, some users also reported the same problem.

Thanks for the quick reply
I'm updated whiteout format data. Everything looks ok.
Alright, so I was previously rooted on 12.5 (global), non twrp. its not necessary for rooting.
I did the ota update to v13 miui (global). but as its a switch between v11 and v12 of android its not possible to install magisk into an empty a/b slot.
I tried to fastboot flash your global miui boot.img after patching it with magisk and it did not work.
I suspect the boot.img to not be compatible with the global rom.
So I opted to flash the Eu fastboot version of miui 13, I set up the phone.
Then patched the stock boot.img with magisk and fastboot that. Done phone is now rooted on v13 miui. and passing safety net check.
phone data was lost as i had to switch from global to eu.
Can anyone confirm that we get widgets and other features that are not found in the miui 13 global I want to make the switch but I want to know what would still be missing
The global fastboot rom is now released. follow same steps above to have rooted global non twrp.
V13.0.1.0.SKDMIXM (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vili/stable/V13.0.1.0.SKDMIXM/)
-Edit-
Ive also updated to the latest via ota V13.0.2.0.SKDMIXM (Stable beta). but as it detected the boot.img was modified it downloaded the entire recovery rom. Installed. Lost root access.
I then fastboot re flashed the patched boot.img from the V13.0.1.0.SKDMIXM and it works.
so im rooted/ safetynet check passed on V13.0.2.0.SKDMIXM (Global)
roms can be found here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/vili/

This thread is about XIAOMI EU custom rom
This phone is so ****ty, I'm trying to do OTA update via 100mbit/'s network in netherlands from about two f***NG weeks and it can not be finished. I can't belive that I have paid 800€ for so big ****!
Hello
For the ROOT it works perfectly (without TWRP, just with magisk)
You unlock the bootloader and wait 1 week, you extract the boot.img, you modify the file with magisk and do the command wtih adb with the modified boot
Very simple
(If you want to extract the rom file by yourself you can just extract with a little tool after your download the rom
, you can extract the fil with the payloaf file, for that, just have a look in the method 3 in this link)
