Twrp disappeared - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

after updating to xiaomi.eu 9.5.1 I lost Twrp and can no longer install. any suggestions thanks

Updating stock rom overwrites always recovery so far I know. Reflash TWRP again and you are fine.

I tried them almost all, maybe the installation procedure is wrong

the procedure I follow is:
1-I install my stock with Miflash
2 - Developer Options
3- Usb debugging
4- fastboot flash etc ..
5- start Twrp - I see the encrypted files,
6- format date
7 - restoration.
* It's correct?
solved

Try using TWRP from LR.Team/wzsx150 which in guide, news discussion forum

Can I flashed this from beta 12 with TWRP?
What steps should I follow to flash this ROM if I am coming from a custom ROM? I was on VertexOS with 4.0.3 firmware and using RENDER KERNEL. Do I just wipe system, data, and cache and then flash OOS and SuperSU?
i have flashed the full rom.zip on twrp . now when i boot into recovery, twrp is asking to enter password ?? what should i need to do ?? i guess phone is encrypted .. How can i get my files back ???
Can someone extract the gallery and camera app in oos and post it. Thanks

What version of TWRP that you are using? Mine is 3.0.4.1 and i have no issue on the encryption error. Try to flash the latest TWRP version to see if that can bypass the error message or not.
Google Drive link for OP3. anyone? Thank you.
I have also decrypted memory. How to upgrade to the new version without encrypting memory again (and loosing everything)?

Flashed stock recovery n also tried twrp recovery.. Nothing bypassed the encryption. Asked for password. Finally decided to wipe the internal storage.
Lost all my personal data n pics :crying:
Video installation guide? I may not want to have TWRP problems..
Just one simple question: Why are you all staying at 3.0.4-1, when official 3.1.0.0 is out, able to get the job done without any problem? Just asking.

Red Wolf Recovery seems to be very successful at fixing issues. Especially Decryption problems. Even if it's of no help here, it's a good one to keep in mind.
tried redwolf too.error is still there.i will use twrp 3.1 version for testing.
just 2 questions :
- is this a hardware problem ?
- can this error be because of my pc ? should i use on other systems too ? because i notice this lag starts after copying files to phone for flashing.

I would try unbrick guide and start from scratch, if the problem persist then I'd suspect hardware failure

This error can be ignored. It's actually not an error but reported as one. Whoever is experiencing issues with backups or flashing, it is not related to this message.

Question regarding procedure to safely install (MIUI eu) rom

Hi,
The Mi8 i've bought is a Chinese version which came with the bootloader unlocked and the global rom installed.
Now I want to install the MIUI eu rom on my phone, but since there are so many brick reports I try to get clear what the right procedure is. I figured out that this procedure is the right one and I assume it can be usefull for alot of users.
As far as I understand, most of the bricks are the continuation of installing another rom via MiFlash with accidently enabled the "lock bootloader" option or trying to lock the bootloader after succesfully installing another rom (other than Chinese rom), so DONT DO IT
Since I am more familiar with TRWP, I used this to install the rom.
I've used the procedure below and succesfully installed MIUI 10 EU 10.0.4.0 8.1 rom on my phone.
1. Install TWRP by following this:
Download TWRP image
Transfer TWRP image from pc to phone
Boot to TWRP via fastboot
This should result in the following screen:
NOTE: If you phone is still encrypted, a password prompt will show up. Enter your
pin to decrypt
Click "Install", select the recovery file and swipe to install the image. To make the .img file visible in TWRP, click on the button in the right corner below saying: "Install Img"
After TWRP is succesfully installed, head back to the the start page of TWRP:
Select "Wipe" and in the next screen press on "Format Data". The following screen will appear:
Type in "yes" to start formatting the data. Dont touch the phone now and patiently wait till this is finished.
Once the data formatting is done, press the back button a couple of times to return to the start page of TWRP.
Now select "Reboot" and click on "Recovery". The phone will now reboot and start TWRP again. You will now see that you dont have to decrypt your phone anymore, since the encryption is removed.
2. Install MIUI eu (or any) rom
Since the data is formatted, all the data on the phone is removed. Connect your phone to your pc and transfer the rom to the phone.
From the start page of TWRP click on "Install"
In my case I've installed the MIUI 10 EU rom (v10.0.4.0)
Click on the rom you want and swipe to install it.
Patiently wait untill the rom is installed. Now you can click on reboot and your phone will now boot to the freshly installed rom.
3. Enjoy
Note: Do not try to lock the bootloader when you are using a Chineese phone with a rom other than the Chineese rom. This will brick you phone
Note2: Always remember to check the "fastboot getvar anti" status before installing another rom. This should be implemented starting from the Android 9 based roms, but just check to be sure. If the "getvar anti" commands results in a FAILED you should be good to go.
@AL_IRAQI wrote a nice post with more information about this policy. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219
Thanks in advance!
Correct steps u got it right, don't forget if u flash a android pie rom u cannot downgrade it to a previous miui version because of the anti roll back that Xiaomi implemented from Android 9.0 aka pie.
Wipe cache/dalvik is not needed after a clean flash.

Thanks for your quick reply! Does this anti rollback policy even counts when formatting data before installing the new rom? And how about installing a rom like lineage os? Do you know if can (for example) install lineage os 15.1 after I've used an Android 9.0 based MIUI rom?
I will try to install the MIUI eu rom tomorrow.

It was first introduced to the Redmi note 5 pro they got lots of information about it.

I would like to ask: What if I installed eu rom, but I didn't flash "Disable Dm-Verity" is there a risk? If I am correct "Disable Dm-Verity" is required to disable encryption. Eu rom doesn't have encryption I think, but if the system is at some stage encrypted I should decrypt and format data I think...Am I right - at most not a brick, but a potential loss of data will occure?

Thanks again!
What's the reason to flash the recovery from the recovery itself and not directly from fastboot? I mean :
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
TIA

To be honest, i dont know. I know about the fastboot flash recovery command, but since flashing via twrp worked good for me I've keeped it in the procedure
Little question:
Do I have to select "wipe data" under "Advanced wipe" or should I select "Format Data" in Wipe menu?

"Format Data" is the one your looking for. If you follow the steps in the first post you should be fine.
Wipe data is a factory reset. You need to format your data which will entirely remove your current rom and remove the encryption
Can't boot to recovery (twrp) after unlocking:
C:\Users\Dominic\Downloads\platform-tools_r28.0.1-windows\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading 'boot.img' FAILED (Write to device failed in SendBuffer() (Unknown error))

Any ideas?

*If encryped: Enter your

Select and install TWRP image
Format data
Reboot to recovery
2. Install MIUI eu (or any) rom
Transfer the rom from the pc to the phone
Install rom
Reboot
3. Enjoy
By following the steps above there should'nt be any chance of bricking the phone if I'm correct. If someone could confirm the above, i will update the procedure above with some images to make it more helpfull/usefull for other users who are in the same situation as me.
In another topic I've read something about flashing a region fix (since I'm using a Chinese phone), but I cannot find this elsewere. I reckon that this step is not needed?
EDIT: Topic updated. I've successfully installed MIUI 10 eu rom using the steps above!
Thanks in advance!

First, thank you very much for such informations. Flashing rom isn't hard for me but I'm so afraid to brick the device that costs me 450 euros....
Could you please put some screens as you mentioned ?
Could you please detail more in this first thread if you format or wipe which partition (data for example).
Thanks for your time man !

Mi 8 Global can't install any custom ROM

Hi, sorry for bad English.
I'm having trouble installing Custom ROMs on my Mi 8 Global. Any custom rom I install, after reboot on TWRP, the mobile does not start, it only stays on the fastboot screen or returns to the TWRP.
I already unlocked the bootloader, ADB ON, drivers installed on PC, TWRP OK, all neededs WIPEs ...
I can only install the STOCKs ROMs. I think the problem is when doing FLASH in the ROMs. It may be that I can only install ROM by Fastboot, but by Recovery not.
In the TWRP LOG, there is not a single error after installing the ROMs, always success.
I follow all the tutorials, but never start the system after installing by recovery.
Another thing I noticed is that when I install the custom rom, if I go in the TWRP file browser and go there in the SDCard folder, the files do not appear as it usually gets, such as the "Android" folder for example.
I've had several Androids since the Galaxy Y time and I've never had this problem.
Any idea?

I ll try this. Thank u
You have to format data via typing "yes", it is not wiping data, it is button in twrp. After that everything gonna be ok.
maybe you should flash a miui based on android pie (globe developer version)
then use the latest twrp recovery (both wzsx and black pitch is ok)

No, not a tip has solved the problem. Yesterday I spent all day trying different things, searching in several sites but nothing works. I'll have to settle for the ROM stock.
I had the same problem installing pixel experience you need to flash stock fastboot rom via miflash be careful, do not select the relock option, then install twrp, wipe system, caches and data and install your custom rom It worked for me.

Sorry bad english, translated by Google Translate ...
Now I've been able to install custom ROMs. :laugh:
I tested Havok and Pixel Experience.
I'll speak the steps I did:
1 - Install the Stock Pie: MIUI Global Stable 10.1.2.0 (dipper_global_images_V10.1.2.0.PEAMIFI_20181211.0000.00_9.0_global_0099f5af5f)
Install with XiaomiMiFlash, at the bottom, check the option "Clean All".
NO INSTALL ON TWRP MODE.
2 - Start the system normal and make ADB ON
3 - Make Root
4 - Start the system normal again
5 - Install TWRP: recovery-TWRP-3.2.2-0711-XIAOMI8-CN-wzsx150 (use this version)
6 - WIPE > Advanced> System, Data, Cache
7 - Flash ROM: PixelExperience_dipper-9.0-20190111-2226-OFFICIAL
8 - Reboot System
9 - Ready!
10 - Optional Step (*recommended*) - Go again in TWRP and Wipe > System, Data, Cache, Internal Storage > Flash ROM > Reboot.
After this procedure I was able to install custom roms without problems.
