Yes it works very well. But every time you flash something that concerns the system you should flash TWRP again. Otherwise you will come back to the Stock Recovery.

[Q] Trouble flashing ResRemix!

Hi, its 11:30 and i give up!
ok i first installed cwm using the kernel, and falshed SuperSU and than wiped data and cache and dalvik and flashed resRemix so i can reboot again and flash cwm, the problem is when i flash reRemix it goes to rom but also replaces the recovery with cyanogenmod one which doens't have any flashh zip and if i re flash the kernel with fastboot it will get stuck in sony logo reboot !
if i install both without booting to rom first it will reboot in middle of setup(first time setup name etc always at activating cellular)
this time i don't know what happened but it also freezed and rebooted on the bare-rom, but it worked before that (i assume i was tired and did something wrong)
what should i do?!

Flash other kernel with flashtools, entry in recovery wipe cache davilk cache and data/factory reset, flash the rom with recovery and the boot.img with flashtools.
Sorry for my bad english
I have linux, ia flashtool the only way?
My problem is flashing gapps, if i want to flash it i need cwm and cwm gets replaced when i flash the rom, and xda tutorial for flashing cwm (kernel.elf) makes mt device get stuck in sony logo and bootloop!

Boot.img is the kernel, you have to flashing him because the latest version of this rom is for unlocked bootloader

Download the latest TWRP.zip from here and flash it via Cyanogen Recovery.
And if that doesn't work, you can flash the TWRP.img via fastboot,
then reboot,
it will directly boot into TWRP,
then from TWRP flash the ROM.zip and TWRP.zip without wiping anything.

.236 stock LP rom with Offical Twrp

Can I use the stock rom with the offical twrp?
If I can somebody could tell me how to boot the system because If I install twrp as a Kernel image It can t boot.
in order to use Official TWRP Recovery, you should unlock your Z1 to access the Recovery partition and after that you can do it.

Jeah I know that but i get a message back :tmp-mksh:fastboot: not found . And i tryed to install it with NUT s recovery's twrp but if I install it to FOTAkernel just the recovery boot. Maybe fastboot driver what I should have but I installed that long time ago. Sorry for my english.
in the other side of the coin you should reinstall fastboot and drivers.

Hi friend, mainly thanks for helping.
I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't work.
I restored with Mi Flash Tolls, the only alternative. Now it works well.
You will now try the Flash I Rom and waiting for new updates and then flash any custom rom.
After I want share stuff tools and congratulations.
Have nice guys!

Yes, that's what happened to me.
The only solution I found was to install the new rom via fastboot.
For this you will need to perform the following steps:
1 - Install Mi Flash + drivers (this is boring, if you have Windows 7, it will be easier). In this link you will find some downloads and more details.
2 - Download the Sotck Rom (for fastboot important) from your device, in my case it was PFKMIXM 10.3.1 for Mi9T Pro. You need to extract zip then before.
3 - Flash the new rom via fastboot (approximately 10 minutes).
After that, your device will start with the new rom, then you can flash TWRP again and everything will work. The Magisk installation may cause error 1, but only flash boot.img through TWRP.
Be quick, because if the battery drain, you won't be able to start it in fastboot again.
If you need any links, ask me. I didn't have time to share everything.
Have a nice and good luck!!

To boot to recovery After fastboot flash recovery , you will need also a system...
As you wiped all, you dont have anymore. I made the same mistake when decrypting After unlocking.
Extract system.img from stock fastboot rom and fastboot flash system system.img.
Then again (why not lol) fastboot flash again reco and reboot to recovery with buttons.
If it dont work , miflashtool will recover it ( DONT SELECT CLEAN_LOCK)

Yes, very important.
In Mi Flash, check only "Clean All" dont clean and lock.
Thanks.

Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Too bad you couldn't recover. I hope you can do it again.
Today I had to flash twice, once because I flashed Kernel Quax and couldn't rollback and once for trying Rom Syberian. I hope that in the future we will have a firmware balanced with the customs kernel and roms.
Good luck.
Thanks I dont think it will work
i bought a Deep flash cable to see if i can get it into EDL mode without opening.
