Which TWRP to download? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Can anyone lead me to a TWRP which successfully installs Magisk and Pixel Experience without boot looping? Also should I clear cache, dalvik cache and data after installing Magisk?

OnePlus 3T Stuck in Bootloop

After attempting to root my phone and things going along well up to the stage where I flash DM Verity & SuperSU according to this guide after doing those two things my phone is stuck in a Bootloop. Running TWRP 3.0.3 beta 1 and my OOS version before this was 4.0.
Edit: Just as a note I have already cleared my cache with no luck.
Did you format data? Next to factory reset button I had that happen to me i formated data and cleared cache and data in advance settings. Maybe it helps you too

I did format data after flashing dm-verity and it wiped all of my storage leaving me with an empty /sdcard. After sideloading supersu.zip (not systemless) and flashing it got stuck in a bootloop.
You're not supposed to do dm-verity and supersu. It's one or the other. If you don't want root, use dm-verity otherwise use supersu. Supersu keeps you decrypted like dm-verity does.

WIpe System

I was wondering why with k20 pro you dont wipe system? In all the thread i see flashing procedure, after first flashing miui CN, format data(if encrypted) wipe cache, delvik and data but not system? In Poco we wipe system even for a dirty clash (delvik cache, system then flash rom and gapps and alls good).
Anyone else from poco here with tips about differences in flashing procedure?

It's normal for most ROMs to wipe system as part of their install script. So normally there is no need to wipe system manually before. You will only need to wipe system if a ROM developer/maintainer tells you to in their flashing instructions.

More details needed if you want some help or all you wanted is some condolence?
P.S. If you don't know what details, just describe what actions have been taken I was on ROM x versions x.x.x with TWRP x, how you flashed MIUI11 and what MIUI11 ROM and version you used.
TWRP version is: 3.3.1-42
I was on original rom and I used this rom: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_V11.0.2.0.QFACNXM_v11-10
Procedure: I wiped dalvik/ART cahce, cache, System Data and then installed the rom and rebooted and I am now in bootloop.
P.S I have global version

Does your TWRP successfully decrypt data now? Do you have access to files in TWRP? Or you just see strange names.
If that is the case, just format data, it's an option in wipe menu. And then reflash ROM.
btw wiping system is not needed and useless.
Decrypts successfully because i install rom from internal storage and still it doesnt help.

Then everything should work, try to read this thread: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11-0-stable-release.52628/ , may be you not the only one.
But i would try format data any way. Format will remove everything and will create a fresh unecrypted file system. Wipe only delete files.
If it won't help you may try to flash fastboot ROM, and then format and etc.
btw When you wipe cache/dalvik, it takes some time to boot, it can be 5-10 minutes.

Fastboot after wiping everything in Twrp.

Hello, when i install new rom i format data, wipe everything in twrp then i install rom(im mainly using ones with oss vendor) and dfe and phone just goes fastboot logo. When i uncheck system partition everything is fine. Is there someone that knows how to wipe system partition without going fastboot.

Don't wipe system, it's not needed. Doing the factory reset in TWRP wipes everything that's need to be wiped for a clean flash.

Question No OS installed (TWRP) Help!

Hello, after flashing the [ROM][12.0][sweet] AOSP 12.0 the phone opened up and I set it up.
After rebooting it, it just stuck in bootloop and TWRP says 'No OS installed'. What can I do?
Wipe data, reinstall, wipe dalvik and cache, reboot. should work. Make sure you are on the latest TWRP official build.
