Working TWRP for Mi9T Pro on Android 10 (QFKEUXM) **SOLVED** - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Now that we have finally got the update in the EU region I want to know if anyone has successfully flashed TWRP or any other recovery?
In case anyone wondering I have managed to get root with the latest magisk via patched boot image method.
**UPDATE**
I flashed the latest TWRP from this thread and all went smoothly. Also managed to get Viper4android working which was my biggest concern coming from Android 9. Happy days :victory:

I'm currently on MIUI 10.3.4.0 Stable with OrangeFox Recovery installed, Going to attempt updating later since, afaik, OrangeFox has Support for OTA Updates.

Waiting for your feedback, because my orangefox is ready for OTAs but i think because i forgot to check DM VERITY and FORCED ENCRYPTION it asks for password when rebooting for update and ruins it...this is my guess. So please share your feedback and it you checked the 2 options unlike me.

I'm also interested in this. I want to keep TWRP and magisk post-upgrade to Android 10

I updated with no issued with the following steps:
1. Installed latest TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363
2. Download latest Magsik
3. Download recovery zip for miui 11 rom
4. Reboot to recovery
5. Install rom zip ( do not reboot after install)
6. Install Magsik
7. Install TWRP img via recovery that you downloaded in step 1
8. Reboot into TWRP
9. Reboot to system

Okay so, coming from 10.3.4.0 Stable, OFox Recovery and encrypted, the update ran through fine without any problems. Since I'm encrypted I had to enter my password first but after that it started installing the Update. as far as I remember, I've seen that Orangefox's script that prevents Orangefox from being overwritten after every update (it's called OTA.bak I think) already handles both DM-Verity and Force-Encrypt on it's own, at least I didn't had to take any further steps regarding Encryption and such stuff and after updating it booted into MIUI 11 just fine (which ofc since it's an Major Update took a little longer than usual but at least it eventually did)

So what do you do when you're on 10.3.4 pfkeuxm Rom and running with twrp and magisk installed?
Can't I install the miui 11 rom via twrp and then immediately flash magisk again?

Following the advice here, I've got the update installed with twrp and magisk working fine. The only problem I have is that I can't read/write the system partition so titanium backup isn't working. Any ideas how I could fix it?

[ROM] OxygenOS Open Beta 9 (Nougat) Update and Installation!!

Hi everyone,
We appreciate everyone’s feedback from the OxygenOS Open Beta 8. With your help, we have optimized and improved several key areas.
The changes include:
Added Expanded Screenshots
Shelf Design Optimizations
General UI Optimizations
DPI Optimizations
Battery Performance Optimizations
Stability and Performance Optimizations
General bug fixes
Please visit the download page here:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_openbeta_9/
If you’ve already flashed a previous Open Beta build, you will receive this update via OTA. If you haven’t, you will need to flash this build by ADB sideload. Your data may transfer, but there is always a possibility of losing personal data, so be sure to backup all of your important data before flashing this build. As stated before, once you flash the Open Beta, you’ll continue getting Open Beta OTAs.
Please follow the link below for the UI/UX experience survey. We’d really appreciate a few minutes of your time, as it will help us make OxygenOS even better. One last thing: this is a limited program, so we may disable this download link once we receive enough feedback.
- Feedback on UI/UX: https://goo.gl/forms/hEqMPq9U9QNrxvhc2
Note: If you flash this Open Beta build, you’ll receive Open Beta OTAs (but not official OTAs). You’ll need to manually (clean) flash back to our official builds to continue receiving official OTAs. Rolling back to official OxygenOS versions require wiping data and cache.
Thank you for your patience and as always, we look forward to hearing your continued feedback in the bug reporting forum here: https://forums.oneplus.net/feedback/.
Thank you for helping us build a better OxygenOS.
Never settle.
Installation Methods
Before we start:This method is only for the OnePlus 3
Follow the steps correctly otherwise you may brick your device. I am not responsible for any damage to your device, please ensure that your device is at least 60% charged to prevent the accidental shutdown in-between the update process.
Downloads:
Beta 9 Full Zip Official Download
Compatible Stock Recovery
********************* For Stock Non Rooted Users with Stock Recovery *****************
1. Download the appropriate OTA/Full Zip from above link and place it in the root folder.
2. Navigate to Settings > System Updates > Settings Icon > Local Upgrade & Select the OTA File
3. Once selected system would prompt upgrade now
4. Select upgrade now and system would reboot in stock recovery and flash the OTA
5. The installer would itself flash the OTA and reboot the device.
The Device will reboot and your OnePlus 3 is now running on the latest OxygenOS firmware & OS.
PS: The first boot may take some time so keep calm and wait for it to boot.
* After flash is successful go back to recovery and a wipe of cache is recommended.
* If in any case flash is unsuccessful the system would prompt you to download the full 1.4GB zip. So download that and follow the same process as above.
************************ For Rooted Users with TWRP Recovery ************************
Download Beta 9 Full Zip
1. Download the Beta 9 Full Zip on your phone internal memory.
2. Download the Latest SuperSU SR5
4. Reboot To TWRP (Modified 28) & Take a Nandroid of your existing ROM
5. Go to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Select Dalvik & Cache & Swipe to Wipe
6. Install Menu > Select Beta 9 Rom Zip > Swipe to Flash
7. Wipe Dalvik & Cache
8. Flash SuperSU to maintain root
9. Reboot System and Enjoy the Beta 9 Update
* Do not flash Xposed as not compatible with 7.0 builds yet
If you come from a custom rom, i recommend a clean flash and make sure you use the modified TWRP 3.0.2-1.28 as the official one is incompatible with the CB firmware yet.
PS: The first boot may take some time so keep calm and wait for it to boot and the system would boot twice due to flash of supersu so keep calm
PS: Rooted users may either flash the full Beta 9 Zip or they need to flash the previous full zip beta 8 first to overwrite system partition followed by the relevant Beta 9 OTA zip for a successful flash else just the OTA flash would fail with error 7 in TWRP
I was on TWRP (modded) and rooted. Installed the update (OTA) and now my phone just reboots to TWRP no matter what I do (I have even made a factory reset and reinstalled Beta8)

You can't install the ota update on TWRP recovery. You need the stock one.
Try reflashing TWRP recovery via fastboot and then flash open beta 9(not the ota)

Download the recovery at the bottom of the page.
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_openbeta_9/
Copy it onto your phone with the this Open Beta 9 package.
Start up TWRP, format /dalvik, /cache, /system, /data.
Flash the Open Beta and clean the caches if asked.
Flash the original recovery from TWRP as recovery image, and restart your phone afterwards.
Your phone may boot into the new recovery, then show "Update failed", then do another restart, but after that mine was working.

flashing with twrp will result in recovery booting loop. after downloading ota simply reboot to recovery, download oneolusrecovery from ob9 page. transfer it to phone. select install image in twrp, select reocover, flash as recovery and reboot to recovery. itll show updating.. takes about 20mins
Will modified twrp also not work?
Really? The modified twrp doesnt work? I,ve read the thread in oneplus forum and some are saying it worked for them. :/
Edit: anyways, im on modified twrp, rooted, beta 8, can i dirty flash beta 9?

As simple as this
Dirty flashed over OB8, everything working fine!

Using Modified TWRP
Dirty flashed over OB8, so far no issue's.
Did flash TWRP img after update in TWRP (just to be sure), first boot took a while tho.
Anyone tried supersu?
I have this from yesterday. I was on 3.2.8 from OnePlus site, dated 12.05.16.
Clean flash with TWRP 3.0.2-1.28, thanks to eng_stk. Flash the rom & SuperSU SR5 (if you want root). Refalsh recovery 3.0.2-1.28. Reboot to recovery. If it not works reflash recovery.
Then reboot to system.
I did not flash any mods. All it's ok.

Yep. Just make sure to have the full update and not the OTA one. Also, just in case make sure you have the TWRP img and super-su on your phone's memory to be able to flash them again
Any mirror for this? Full zip is downloading really slow and I've already stucked on twrp after OTA Need to dirty flash the full zip, but it is going to dowload around Christmas with that speed...

Flash OOs Oreo Stable release

Folks,
Seeing alot of comments about bootloops, etc after trying to install the new stable OOS Oreo release.
I went through the same issue myself and found the following method to work best.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm not responsible if this does Any type of damage or issues to your device.
Be sure to backup all you need to back up to your PC.
1. Complete wipe of phone.
2. Flash the stock recovery that was used for reverting from Oreo Beta to Nougat. http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/OP5_recovery.img
3. Wipe everything again.
4. Sideload new Oreo release. (Credit @HatRiGt, https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NW5zyUOL6bWgUWozFGLiutzud203npKp)
5. Reboot to bootloader and flash the Chinese TWRP. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AKbC4HB0h4rEldQUowWGdyM4iYBVV--7
6. Reboot to recovery and flash Magisk. I flashed the 14.6 version and haven't found any issues yet. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4366826&d=1513897917)
7. Boot phone.
I cannot promise this will work for you, but it has done the job for me.
Running Oreo Stable with Magisk 14.6 and restored all apps from Titanium Backup that I saved on my PC.
I highly suggest blu_spark TWRP instead of chinese one, and i think this method is ONE of the other working way
Couldn't get mine to work with blu spark, hence why I had to use chinese
Link for Chinese twrp please
Thank you very much, work for me
Make a video of it please
New Magisk v.15.
Thanks to topjohnwu.

You should try changing the TWRP
If you have problems with adb sideload:
Boot into fastboot and install stock .
Unlock/Lock your Phone and unlock it again. Locking will wipe the whole phone.
After this you can make a clean installation.
Reboot to bootloader and flash the Chinese TWRP and boot to Recovery.
Install the oreo.zip file.
Reboot to System.
Make your Setup: WLAN, GMail Account aso.....
After all boot to Recovery and install Magisk
Very easy, put oreo zip file in the root folder, backup all data, flash stock recovery, boot with stock recovery, wipe cache, upgrade internal..., Select oreo zip file and flash it, then back and select wipe, select erase every thing and reboot. Done.
Thank you so much! I finally got it working. I needed to do a factory wipe and skip the magisk installation but it worked!
Cheers!

Magisk won't flash on stock recovery, if that's the reason you had to skip installing it.

No I installed the TWRP and flashed magisk. It refused to boot so I factory swiped it and all was good. Now I have to figure out how to install magisk without getting into bootloop.

Update to DP4 from Official 9.5.11 with root and without data loss

Tried and tested method to update to DP4 with twrp and root working.
If you update to DP4 directly before installing twrp you will be stuck without twrp.
You need USB pendrive and otg for it.
Steps
1. Update your phone to latest available official version.
2. Boot to fastboot and install TWRP (of course you need boot loader unlocked)
3. Flash DP4 from Thumbrive (keep it in external storage only)
4. Flash Recivery TWRP.zip from thumb drive
5. Reboot recovery
5. Flash DP4 again followed by Twrp.zip
6. Reboot recovery and flash magisk and any other mods you need.
7. Reboot
If you followed every steps correctly you will have working TWRP and root on DP4.
I am using it since DP2 and never had issues.
Note. Since Q diesnt allow twrp to read internal storage you will need usb drive for flashing mod also.
I have uploaded a video with DP4 Features if you want to know about its features.
New features
1. Volte working
2. Names of themes changed
3. System UI settings changed
4. Fingerprint faster
5. Overall phone is faster now.
Removed google assistant swipe shortcut.

Too late for me I currently stuck with DP4 with no TWRP. any idea how can I get TWRP again. The fastboot command isn't working anymore.

You need to use msm tool for reverting to stock
Or Stock reset rom for downgrade.
Then follow my steps
Is there any way to downgrade without MSM tool? I have a Mac. Local update doesn't work. Thanks for the reply.
Try MP version from DP Version package via local upgrade.
This will be available once the official thread is created by oneplus.
Or you may try DP to MP version for DP3

I was able to install twrp and magisk on dp3, i think you can do it with dp4 aswell.
I just fastboot flash boot twrp.img , it says slot a ok, slot b fail.
So i switched active slots and reboot, which boots to twrp installed on other slot. While in twrp (which cannot access data) i installed twrp through adb, switched active slot and installed twrp again. Same for magisk 19.4 installer.
After installing twrp and magisk to both slots i switched active to B and rebooted, which took me to rooted dp4.
Hope that made any sense
Oh and while in twrp, i used twrp installer (latest) to install twrp to both slots.
why do you possibly need to flash the rom and twrp TWICE? shouldn't the usual upgrade process for a rom if you are already rooted still work?
Flash the Q rom
flash twrp
reboot to recovery
flash magisk?
don't understand the reason to flash both twrp and the rom 2 times as posted in the instructions
regardless, i followed the exact steps and it didn't work for me. i boot to a plain black screen and can't get past it. any ideas?

Can you elaborate on step 2? Do we flash twrp.zip the same as the other steps? or do we flash the twrp-installer?
1. Downloaded the 9.5.11 update from Oxygen Updater (DONT REBOOT)
2. Went to Settings\System\System Update and click on the wheel on upper right corner.
3. Select Local Upgrade, then install the update (DONT REBOOT)
*DO NOT REBOOT after applying the update.
4. Remove Magisk modules that may cause problems (Call Recording is one of them)
5. Launch Magisk, and click the first "install"
6. Choose the "Install to inactive slot (OTA)" option
7. Reboot once completed
8. Download TWRP (from another location) and then go into Magisk and install it, but ***DO NOT REBOOT!!***
9. Install Magisk again. Click Install, then select "Direct Install" option.
10. Reboot
Will this work for DP4 as well????

I don't think so - what I've read on Oneplus page, when you hit restart (after installing magisk) it will reboot and during that erase all data. then reboot again to system. So you cannot restart via system updater,, you need use TWRP to flash it, so i would stick to the 1st post instructions (including 2-times install t ocover both slots). But hey, ican be wrong, you can try and let us know, it would be easier for sure
Is this the only way to get root on DP4?
Simple way
Info for TMobile gm1915 on 9.5.11
You must have magisk installed.
Update through local upgrade method and don't reboot. Then go to magisk select modules hit + and find twrp installer install twrp and then choose install magisk choose install to inactive slot. Then reboot.
Data does not get wiped but fingerprints need to be added again.
Also twrp decryption does not work so best to keep otg USB with you with whatever you may want to flash.
You don't have to flash to both slots it's not necessary but do as you wish.

Hi, I followed all the steps in OP and didnt. using latest twrp and magisk 19.3 (stable)
Now my phone is still starting its first boot about 15 minutes.
Update:
Probably the problem: installed magisk modules.
Anyway after some research default twrp is'nt mounfing local storage. The latest custom TWRP is! So no issues with USB Anymore, just use local storage like u used to do! This is actualy the only way to use the Magisk uninstaller because you need to mount data for uninstalling magisk modules.

Anyway it took me a view hours of testing but now it works smooth! ?

How to update without losing TWRP and root?

Hello, I have a Mi 9T Pro with 10.3.3, TWRP and Magisk. I received the update to 10.4.0. As stated in the title, how could I update the system without losing the TWRP and root through Magisk? Thank you in advance

You can't. The best way to update is to download the 10.4.0 recovery ROM, then flash that in TWRP. This will still overwrite Magisk, so you will need to install that again straight after installing the update. If you don't install Magisk immediately, then booting into system would also restore stock recovery, so it needs to be done before you reboot to system.

Many thanks! In this way I could at least save the TWRP! Should I have to take some other precautions? Like deactivate all Magisk modules, perform a backup of apps ecc?

No, you can simply flash the ROM and right after that, flash Magisk. This way you won't loose twrp or Magisk.

I would just add to this that, although this is all that is required, I would still backup things, just in case.
It's always good practice when flashing things to backup what you can, even when it's not needed should things go smoothly. It only takes an absent minded moment of stupidity in TWRP to do some serious damage. As many people, myself included, can vouch for.
Thank you everyone!
I've read a lot about this, some say it's better with fastboot rom and Miflash, but twrp method with recovery seems to be easier method.
Can anybody confirm is it necessary to remove compatibility.zip file from flashable zip file before flashing?
Clean flash or dirty should work for 10.3.4.0 update?
I'm using 9T Pro (EU), rooted, stock 10.3.3.0, TWRP 3.3.1-15

Clean flash or dirty should work for 10.3.4.0 update?
I'm using 9T Pro (EU), rooted, stock 10.3.3.0, TWRP 3.3.1-15

Flashing a minor update is fine to do as a dirty flash in TWRP.
Doing a major update is 50/50 (going from 10.3.x to 10.4.x as it's s change from Android 9 to 10, or going from 10.x.x to 11.x.x). You may be fine, you may have issues. It might be a better option to try using the 'save data' option in the Mi Flash Tool, which is the same as a dirty flash, but will still update vendor and firmware files, should they have changed between the versions.
You might be guided by what the OTA would do. Occasionally when an OTA provides a major version change, it will perform a clean flash and give you big warnings that this will happen first. If an OTA tells you this will happen, then I would definitely use the Mi Flash Tool and use the 'clean all' option.
As for the compatibility zip, it depends on the TWRP you are using. Just try as is first and if your get an error about the wrong device, then remove it and try again.
Thanks a lot, your answers are very helpful in this thread! ?
I got the OTA update to 10.3.4.0 on my Mi 9T Pro, too, but it wouldn't install via TWRP (mauronofrios version 3.3.1-15). I also tried to flash the full 10.3.4.0 ROM (https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.4.0...EAGlobal_V10.3.4.0.PFKEUXM_964826982c_9.0.zip) with TWRP, but that didn't work either, not even after removing compatibility.zip.
I then changed my TWRP to OrangeFox Recovery 10.0_7 stable (via fastboot) and dirty flashed the full ROM via OrangeFox. That worked flawlessly, it even seems that it will be able to install future OTA updates, but that remains to be seen when the next OTA update arrives.

You need to confirm if orangefox is actually ready for OTA by checking in its settings.

TWRP decryption prompt missing

I recently installed Evolution through TWRP coming from MIUI 12.5. I wanted to flash Magisk via TWRP too. However, the decryption prompt in TWRP does not appear so I cannot push any files (magisk.zip) to the phone.
How to resolve this issue?

You don't need TWRP to install Magisk. Go to Magisk Github page and read instructions
Im short,t ake your boot img, install the Magisk app, patch the boot.img from Magisk app and flash the patched boot img from Fastboot
Regarding to TWRP - make sure you use the latest official.
Nevertheless, AFAIK - TWRP does not properly support decrypting for A12
