Cannot install TWRP on Mi Mix - Xiaomi Mi MIX Questions & Answers

Hi!
I recently bought a Mi Mix and want to flash it with Lineage OS.
I followed all relevant instructions - did unlock the bootloader and so on - but I am not able to install TWRP using ADB and fastboot.
The phone is connecting well in ADB - even the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" gets a positive response - all seems to work fine. But after rebooting, I am always confronted with the stock recovery - the flashing so seems not to work out of some reason - TWRP gets removed during the reboot process.
I also tried to first flash and then use the "fastboot boot twrp.img" command. This command starts TWRP, but only in a frozen state - TWRP then starts in a way that you are not able to interact with the interface. Also here - after rebooting the stock recovery is there again. Can someone give me a hint, how to solve this problem?
I am running ADB on a Linux Computer (Debian 9) - dont think, that this might cause issues, but maybe....
The phone runs the MIUI-Version "MIUI Global 9.1 Stable"
It would be great, if someone here could help me out. I am somehow stuck and dont know how to proceed..
Thanks for taking the time!

You can find two compatible versions of TWRP here.

Thanks Gavin!
Just out of curiosity - can you explain me, why the official TWRP Versions are not working and the ones you did post are good?

Touch has never worked on the official versions to my knowledge. Even the latest 3.2.1.0 build still has broken touch. It is still usable if you use a USB adapter/mouse, but not via touch.

Dear Gavin! Your TWRP file worked great.
But I have no another issue that seems to be common with the Mi Mix - the media sound is not working anymore. Notification and phone works fine but music and video is gone. I just was reading that you should update the firmware. Are the other files added in the link you did send by chance the relevant firmware files?

I was looking for that as well! Thanks for sharing. I can confirm that this TWRP version works well with the Mi Mix.

Thanks guys - the device works fine now. You saved my day!
There is one thing left. I still cannot initiate TWRP manually - have to use ADB for this. Once TWRP is started, I cannot reach the devices harddisk anymore from my computer. Thats no issue now, but might cause issues in the future. Any idea how to solve this?

No. It happened with my device as well. You cannot mount your internal storage on your PC. I've tried many different versions of TWRP and none have allowed access. I'm not quite sure why ... I had other devices in the past and it always worked. On the Mi mix however, it does not. So just turn on your phone and transfer what you need to or adb sideload it.

No. I don't believe that he did James. Does it work for you? because it never worked for me either. I've tried all the different versions of TWRP and it didn't do a thing. Also I have no passwords or encryption. I'm sure of this. Maybe I'm also doing something wrong and that's why I can't Mount my internal storage while in TWRP recovery?
I don't use the official TWRP because for some reason the official versions of TWRP offered for the Mi Mix are broken. The touchscreen never works and I don't have an external controller or anything else to make it work other than the phones screen. So I've used the custom versions that have been fixed and re-released on XDA.

Well its strange cause there are thousands using it for over a year now. Maybe you have always been encrypted. Which ROM are you using, I mean you haven't still got the vendor fake ROM, any updates?

That's very odd. I'm not quite sure what to tell you. I know for a fact though that my device is not encrypted. I'm currently running RR without any password/pattern. Before installing RR I was on stock OS and still no password/pattern. I live alone and so I don't feel the need to use a password on my phone. So ever since I've purchased this phone I've never had a password on it.
No updates as far as I'm aware on the RR.
Does it Mount for you? If so, what TWRP are you using on your device?

I've used the same 1 from the beginning, smarty, I just followed the guide in the guide section how to remove vendor ROM. I use Linux it works fine. Everyone thought they had official ROM in the beginning only to find out it was vendor ROM. What about using mtp to send files, maybe that's what I did, can't even remember.

Wow. Well you're lucky tbh. I can't seem to figure out why mine doesn't connect. I'm not sure what the difference is between the vendor (ROM) and the "stock" (ROM) - I know I was using the global stable (ROM) that's what my phone first came with and it was running 6.0 MM.
Yes, I have tried to use MTP while in TWRP and it doesn't do anything. My computer does detect something but doesn't show the phone to be connected or anything. I have even tried to mount it in the options but nothing. I know I have all drivers installed and does not make a difference. I'm running Windows 10 not Linux.

Yes, however right now I'm just doing a highly customized, de-bloated, de-amazon'd, pre-rooted, stock based rom. I don't know if anyone is working on AOSP or CM based roms at the moment.

hey since this is running lollipop amazon os. cany you guys make a costom rom like the hdx developers do that can be booted without unlocking the bootloader. they use safestrap which is like twrp but for locked bootloaders and install custom roms. they arnt fully custom they have amazon aspects that let it boot with the locked bootloader but it is almost fully custom the hdx has a nexus rom and a cm11 rom they made for it.

Not as easily as it they were installed.
Use a root file manager, to delete or rename or move.
Use titanium backup pro or similar app, to freeze google apps
you freeze all google apps, and see if performance improved, them unfreeze google apps one at a time to see which ones are causing issues.

Encryption Password not working in TWRP

So I have, after some work and experimentation, got encryption to work with CM 13. However I have run into a problem, TWRP will not accept my password and decrypt my phone. My phone will boot fine, I have CM 13 working correctly, make calls, surf the web and so on. It also accepts my password to unlock the phone no issues. But TWRP will not, so I cannot flash Xposed or any other ROMs without going through the process of wiping, encrypting and reflashing. That is the other oddity, TWRP DID accept the password at first and let me flash the CM 13 mod originally. After that I got a message saying the phones info was corrupted, the password was correct but my phone could not unlock. I restarted it and the phone started like normal but now we have this issue. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Re-flash TWRP 3.0.2.0? That update was specifically a fix for encryption issues. If reflashing doesn't work, then don't know.
I just tried to get encryption going on my Turbo with RR, and I got the same issue. I don't think it's a TWRP problem. I'll work on it some tonight and see if I can get it to work.
Yeah, it's some issue with RR. The latest TWRP decrypts the stock rom just fine. Weird.
I was not on RR, I was on CM 13. RR is a mod off of CM correct?

Correct. So to be more precise, it's an issue with CM.
I read somewhere that with CM12.1 (and maybe CM13), it's necessary to set selinux to permissive before encrypting, but once you do that, you can just encrypt through the settings menu while running CM (no stock rom trickery required). My battery is too low to test this, but I'll definitely test it when I get home tonight.
Edit: Nope. Didn't work.
I'm determined to get this to work. I actually figured out how to get RR to encrypt on its own without having to go back to stock first, but TWRP still won't decrypt it. I've tried all TWRP versions available for quark. I'm going to try using CM recovery. If that doesn't work, I dunno what will. For what it's worth, google says that we're not the only ones having trouble decrypting CM13.
For those who are curious, you can get RR (and presumably CM13) to encrypt by first flashing the stock recovery menu and doing a factory reset. The reason this is necessary is that encryption requires the data partition to reserve about 16kb of data to be used during encryption. However, when TWRP formats the data partition, it includes all of the available space in the partition and leave nothing unallocated. The stock recovery menu knows better.
EDIT: CM recovery is totally useless. It doesn't even touch /data unless you're factory resetting. Welp, I'm out of ideas for now.
Well this sucks! Thanks for your work The St33v. It looks like this has to be edited at the top so it leaves that extra space needed. The TWRP code needs to be fixed imho.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what the issue is at this point. According to my Googling, some devices running CM13 can decrypt with TWRP just fine, but many can't. That tells me that it's a device-specific issue, which means the TWRP maintainer for our device would need to fix it. Who knows though. I could be wrong.
I don't really feel like bothering him about it, but in case anyone else does, the TWRP guy for our device is none other than the legendary baybutcher27.
I tried to get a copy of the TWRP log, but it tries to save the log to /data/media. I don't imagine that actually happened since /data is still encrypted.
EDIT: Nevermind. The log file doesn't have any information that is different from what TWRP displays on the screen, and TWRP doesn't display anything that is helpful.
Different device (Zenfone 2/z00t), but I've been bouncing around forums looking for the same solution. Currently using Flashify to update CyanogenMod Recovery, then using the ADB sideload menu to flash the nightlies. Switching to TWRP every few nightlies to see if it's fixed. It's not an elegant solution, but encryption is pretty much a must.

I talked to the maintainer of our TWRP build, and he said that it would be something that he would have to figure out how to add, but he is working on it. Apparently, methods of encryption/decryption are specific to each device.
Right. And since I'm still running nightlies with no snapshot as of yet for my device, I'll deal with the workaround till it's sorted, or file a bug report when a stable release/snapshot is available. Thankfully ADB sideload is an option till then. Thanks for the info about the issue being specific to each device.

What is the correct way to re-enable encryption?

If I have formatted and installed with encryption disabled, what is the right way to get encryption back?
Can I just go into Settings>Security & Fingerprint>Encrypt Phone and enable it there?
Yup, that should do the trick. Didn't try on T3, but used same method on one of my prev phones.
Did that work?
I did it on OOS 4.1.1 with twrp and franco kernel installed. It worked for me :good:

Well all custom roms work fine with encrypted devices so i don't see why it shouldn't be possible to encrypt your device on a custom rom. If you want to be 100% sure ask in the thread of your rom

Root is not a problem neither. i did it with root enabled.
That twrp error is normal. When you boot in twrp it shows the error that it can't mount data because you're encrypted and you need to type in your password first.
I also suggest you to use blu_spark's twrp because it's always updated. The official twrp for the op3t hasn't a maintainer anymore and it seems abbandoned..

[SOLVED] Phone changed the model in TWRP

Hey,
I have question about a problem I have.
So I tried to install the latest open beta version (beta 17) on my OnePlus 3T through TWRP.
This didn't worked because of ERROR: 7.
I found some solutions to fix ERROR 7 but it doesn't worked with this OS.
I tried some things like updating TWRP and installing the Oxygen recovery. I messed some things up. I deleted my OS from my device accidentally.
I solved the problem and was able to install the latest stable OS without problems.
Then I tried to install ResurrectionRemix-N for OP3T and I got the ERROR 7 again. but it said:
E3004: This package is for device: OnePlus3T, oneplus3t; this device is Oneplus3.
The thing is, it is an OnePlus 3T.
I don't know why and how it changed. The TWRP is for OP3T.
In the settings it says that the Build-Number is: ONEPLUS A3003_28_171012.
So I don't know. The default device name was OnePlus 3T.
Later I got an automatic email from Google because I logged in on an "new" device. But here they say that it is an OP3.
I would like to change it, but I don't know how.
I thought I can just change someting in the build.prop, but I didn't tried it yet.
Hopefully someone can help me.
-Fun4Jan
Okay so, I went in the build.prop and this is what I found:
ro.build.product=OnePlus3
ro.build.user=OnePlus
ro.build.flavor=OnePlus3-user
ro.build.description=OnePlus3-user 7.1.1 NMF26F 136 dev-keys
ro.common.soft=OnePlus3
ro.display.series=OnePlus 3T
ro.build.oemfingerprint=7.1.1/NMF26F/10122113:user/release-keys

ro.build.ota.versionname=OnePlus3TOxygen_28_1710122300
ro.build.version.ota=OnePlus3TOxygen_28.A.57_GLO_057_1710122300
So do you think I can just change it in the build.prop?

Try the Qualcomm MSM Tool and try resetting your device completely as instructed on the Unbrick guide. Looks like you installed a corrupted Open Beta package, and something from Bootloader configuration went completely haywire. You can backup your Internal Storage since you have TWRP access.
Good Luck!

So I tried it with this instruction: http://www.androidbrick.com/oneplus-one-two-3-3t-5-mega-unbrick-guide-twrp-flashing/
I did it like it says but some things were different and I think it was because my phone worked and wasn't bricked.
Now I have my phone and got the oldest OOS 3.5.1. My changeable Phonename is OnePlus 3T but I got a mail again where it says that I logged in with a OnePlus 3.
I will try to install TWRP and the latest OOS version.
So I finally solved it.
I was a bit confused with the TWRP version, so I thought that I can install the latest OOS with the Oxygen Recovery and I saw, that I used the wrong Recovery for my phone.
I used the right TWRP version for my phone but not the right Oxygen Recovery when I tried it with it.
I thank all you guys for the help.

No problem, would you mind adding [SOLVED] to the title, so other users with the same or similar problem will read this post to fix their devices too?
Thanks, and happy flashing!

Then try with the older version, the newest one is known to cause problems with proper device detection.
Edit: nevermind, just saw it's fixed.

Xposed working flawlessly on Zenfone 5Q/lite zc600kl

Used Twrp to flash SuperSU installed Xposed framework installer and flashed the nougat sdk.
Modules are working
Zuper

Gravitybox

Few quick questions. Did you use the official Asus unlock app? Can you post a link to the twrp download?

You don't need trwp to install magisk. You can use magisk manager to patch the stock boot image, then adb push to install the patch boot image to your device. There are plenty of tutorials on how to do this here on XDA.

Yeah i know, but haven't try it myself and I usually use twrp to install it. That's why I lack the confidence to do so ?.
Have you tried rooting your zenfone 5q?

I have not yet, I'm waiting for an unlock method that is reversable, I have however used magisk to patch boot images on some of my other devices that don't have twrp available.

Which part makes you uncomfortable? Is it patching the image or using adb push?
But bro, feels like you posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for Zenfone 5 x86 A500CG/ A501CG.

Is there a dedicated forum for the 5q? I've looked on the app and haven't found one. I find threads for it in all kinds of places though.

Well yeah somehow, maybe you can make a request to the moderators? Or maybe use some kind of tag temporarily?

Soon after making my original post I downloaded the stock rom from the Asus support page the same place I got the bootloader unlock app from.
After flashing I got brave or stupid and found a site that had a TWRP for the zc600kl so i said what the hell and installed the TWRP idk if I can link it here but I'm sure they'll get rid of it if it isn't.
https://mega.nz/#!OuJHnaJR!aUTwAtRcEukqOi6XMh-FKsYcM22gHEzC35YajMkSOns
It turned out to be TWRP 3.2.3.0 and works perfectly. only issue I had was during the Magisk installation, twrp couldn't mount anything. turns out it was showing my internal storage as 0 but it was an extremely easy fix! all I had to do was just change the phones storage file system from it's original to another then immediately back to the original file system (can't remember specifics) within the twrp advanced menu I think, but it worked just fine and my internal storage read the correct size. Found fix on YouTube easily.
I installed magisk flawlessly then installed xposed seamless now have the best of both and everything is working great phone is stable no issues at all I'm very pleased,
Safety net check fails but IDC I don't need it.
Ridiculously easy root I love this phone ?? oh and now I have iOS 11 Emojis lol
Hope this helps all you Zenfone 5Q zc600kl owners out there.
If anyone wishes to know anything else PM me I'll try to help.

Just tried with this and it says it's too big when flashing and fails ZF5Q ZC600kl (X017D)

Same here, seems as though this twrp is for the X017DA which has a much larger size recovery compared to the regular X017D which has a stock recovery size and flash limit of 32mb. I tried for hours to get a ported twrp running on the X017D to no avail. Can someone help?

I just finished attempting to flash this recovery using my X017DA and I'm getting the file size too large error as well.
There are NUMEROUS people stating that they've rooted this phone and I'd SURE as hell love to know how.
I unlocked the bootloader at this point for nothing, and it's rather irritating.
It's bad enough I have spotty service on this phone because apparently, it doesn't support band 12 (which is crap) and ASUS refuses to cert it for VOLTE
I love the cameras, and functionality of this phone, and for the price the specs are GREAT, but this WILL be the last and only ASUS phone I'll purchase. Hell, I might even ban their computer components from my home after this fiasco.
Question!
