best custom recovery - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Can anyone pls tell me best and latest custom recovery for our santoni (treble supported)?

I am using Orangefox.
Working fine for both treble/non-treble ROMs.

Latest TWRP supports treble and it has no encryption issues

Orangefox is better as twrp has issues with OTA updates on Lineage 15.1

Lazy flasher is a flashable which is used to remove dm verity from devices
If dm verity is enabled it will cause bootloops in custom rom or even sometime stock roms too with custom recovery
So if you want to flash a custom for the 1st time
So flash this lazy flasher zip file
After wiping partitions
After flashing this flash rom zip then gapps

Has any of you guys tried the newest TWRP 3.2.0.0 for OnePlus 3T? Did you find a bug?
Thanks.

I wonder if it triggers dmverity and how to avoid it if we just want to upgrade twrp...

I assume you flash the updated Recovery followed by the patched firmware, which i assume you already have? I don't even know if the firmware is necessary but whenever i flash anything i also re-flash the patched firmware while I'm at it. No reason not to.
Alright, DM-Verity will be cleared if you flash the newest Magisk beta, and TWRP 3.2.X.X is working fine. I don't think Teamwin would release an official version of TWRP without making sure it's completely free of bugs. It flashes Oreo ROMs (Cardinal Xtended, N2Os) and also flashed OOS 5.0 very well. Add-ons such as Magisk and Magisk Modules flashed flawlessly.

Going back to being non-treble

Hi, i would like to know how to go back being non-treble. Tried flashing non-treble custom rom works on standard recovery, but i can't install Magisk because it can't mount /vendor. Tried using a treble recovery to install magisk, got bootloop. Anyone?
Try flashing Stock Rom through Fastboot/miflash.
No problem for me I flashed non treble rom from red Wolf treble twrp and it work perfectly

Magisk for non-treble and treble is different. Make sure your magisk is non-treble

I have both magisk the treble and non-treble one. Tried flashing the phone's stock firmware, then flash the recovery then the custom rom. Its still treble supported. Its seems that i am able to flash non treble roms using non-treble recovery. But if im flashing magisk on non-treble recovery. It cant mount /vendor so it failed rooting my phone. Also i tried flashing non-treble custom kernels it bootloop my phone. The only way to root my phone/ flash kernel is using a treble one and a treble recovery.
I guess once you go treble you cannot go back to being non-treble.

Help problem installing Magisk v.16 on AEX Oreo 8.1 ROM

HELP I have researched everywhere on the internet and I'm not sure what to do. I have a REDMI 4A wit AEX ROM OREO8.1 installed, TWRP 3.2.2.0 Official (for Redmi 4A on the twrp website) and tried to flash Magisk v.16. Error 1 mount vendor shows up in twrp. Many YouTubers says I should flash boot.img. I've already flashed the boot.img of the given AEX ROM OREO 8.1, but the same error occurs. I tried to search for answers, and what I found was that apprently aosp oreo ROMs usually are Treble ROMs. Downloaded Termux app and checked if ROM was treble = false = NOT Treble! Then others say I have to flash a modded vendor version of twrp. (Link: (add Https here)/androidfilehost.com/?fid=674106145207489212) Haven't tried it out just wanted to make sure if I should or not, bacuse the last time I tried to flash a different twrp, I had to flash the original one back using ADB...
Btw I had given up at some point and I flashed SuperSU successfully. Why Can I flash SuperSU but not Magisk?? I fully unrooted SuperSU and am ready to try flashing Magisk again. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, pleeeeeease tell me I need Snapchat to work while having root (yes I know I could've used Titanium Backup but that not the point rn)
Thanks in advance!!!

Yup, you must use TWRP Vendor if you want to use magisk in AEX Oreo.
Han usb Deccan if DHC dry j
Wrong section.
Install TWRP Pitch Black, then install magisk for treble rom
That version may have bugs try the newer versions
Try with Pitch Black recovery or Orange Fox recovery
Same for me and than i using BATIK Recovery for fix it
Solved Magisk error!
I've tried so many Recoveries and after trying more than 5 recoveries and about 7 Different ROM I finally got the answer.
So basically now that Redmi 4A is treble based, hence it has now a new Partitioning vendor based. For that you'll need new Recovery that support vendor mounting. I've tried the other Recoveries mentioned above and all of them are buggy. Go for the official TWRP vendor based Recovery. I found it here :
https://freaksterism.blogspot.com/2018/10/solved-cannot-mount-vendor-magisk.html?m=1
The steps are explained purely for Redmi 4A.
Use pitchblack recovery and all the problems will fix or install supersu and install magisk apk, grant root and install directly and then you can uninstall supersu with unsu zip

Question Any idea how to flash a ROM that supports F2FS and EROFS?

So, I'm planning to get back to Evolution X, but I noticed that I need a recovery that supports F2FS and EROFS, so is there any way to flash them?

Only certain recoveries can flash erofs and f2fs compression supported ROMs. To flash these recoveries is the same, either flash the img or zip file in existing recovery (select recovery partition if asked) or flash the recovery through fastboot. After that flash your ROM like you would. Currently only PixelOS Recovery, Unofficial A12.1 OrangeFox by Aryan, and TWRP by both Aryan and Nebrassy support it. Check RN10Pro group for those recoveries.

Okay, but how can I also enable both F2FS and EROFS? I have the unofficial Android 12.1 builds of TWRP and OFOX

Format data as regular, fstab will be updated with compression flag. RN 10 Pro by default uses f2fs, miui and custom, but f2fs compression is new stuff here. Erofs will be taken care of by your recovery upon flashing. That's why you will need those unofficial ofox or twrp build, and of course, rom build with erofs.
