Installing MIUI 9 along with TWRP - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

As we know, MIUI automatically remove the TWRP Recovery when we Install MIUI with TWRP. So, to prevent this if I follow the following steps will it work? What do you think?
If I unzip the MIUI ROM Pack and replace the MIUI recovery file with TWRP recovery file and then re-zip again. Should it work? Is there any risk? Or did anyone tried this? Or anybody has any solution?

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

Can't update to MIUI V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM 2.2G with TWRP

Hi, I'm new to modifying Android in any way. I did install TWRP 3.3.1-0 with Magisk 19.3 and I'm trying to install this update. When it restarts the phone, it goes into the TWRP recovery mode and I suppose I need to select the file in the downloaded_rom folder 'miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_b529c3de07_9.0.zip', but when I confirm the Flash, I get an error message:
Zip Treble compatibility error!
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/downloaded_rom/miui_CEPHEUSGlobal_V10.2.13.0.PFAMIXM_b529c3de07_9.0.zip'
I can't find any useful information for this problem. Do you guys have a clue what I should do?
Someone in this thread mentioned, that this TWRP version worked for him. Could that also apply to my problem? If so, should I download most recent version for Android 9.x?
I have a Xiaomi Mi 9 Global Version if that is relevant.
I'm using https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-3-1-siankatabg-t3934962, and everything is fine. It download otg update, can't update then download recovery rom and update from it with no problem.
It worked flawlessly with that TWRP build. Thank you!

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.

Losing Recovery after install Custom ROM

Hi,
I have the following problem.
I was able to install the custom ROM properly on my Mi9t pro. Unfortunately my Orangefox Recovery was deleted After the installation.
If I want to install Magisk now, I have to reflash the recovery first.
Do you have any idea why the recovery is deleted? Is there a way to prevent that?
Thanks in advance.

Your (custom) Recovery was really deleted?
Or replaced by stock Recovery
Who says that installation of Magisk requires custom Recovery?
Magisk documentation (Installation Instructions) - please find it on Magisk Github - certainly not.
Patch the boot.img and flash (it can be flashed by Fastboot, hence custom Recovery is not a must to have)
Hi,
it really gets deleted. My cell phone is then only in fastboot mode.
I am not interested in flashing Magisk either, but rather that recovery after an installation is no longer available. This makes installing updates more cumbersome.
I only have the problem when I flash a custom ROM. when I flash a MIUI ROM from xiaomi.eu Beta, the recovery is retained.
