I have been reading about the Mi 9T pro a lot lately and have now purchased one. I might install Magisk bit I don't want to flash TWRP. On my previous phones I have simply booted to TWRP, flashed whatever I wanted and then restarted and kept the stock recovery.
All the threads I have read about the 9T Pro says to flash TWRP. No one talks about just booting to TWRP. Must I flash TWRP to this phone to use it or are people just typing flash when the flash or boot option is available?
Please let me know.

I need help I just bricked my phone and can only access fastboot.
I just unlocked my 9t pro to install a custom rom and followed the steps of this video ( can't post link but it's called: Redmi K20 Pro / MI 9T Pro - INSTALL Pixel Experience ROM Official | Android 9 Pie)
I managed to install twrp, made a backup of dtbo, boot, system and data and then wiped dalvik, cache, system and Data. After that I flashed DM Verity Force Encrypter and proceeded to flash havoc-os which gave me Error 7. I figured I might need to reboot the recovery, after doing so only fastboot comes up anymore. I cannot access twrp and have no OS installed. Please help.
If bootloader unlocked, you could use MiFlash to flash stock Rom

Thank you, where can I find the file that I need to flash in MiFlash? I don't want to break any more than I already did

This is the problem with random YouTube videos, they don't always give good advice.
There is no reason to back up dtbo, unless you are going to install an overclocked screen refresh rate mod.
There's no reason to wipe system.
There's no need to install DM Verify Force Encrypter, unless you know what they are for and you choose to disable DM Verify and/or permanently disable encryption.
Go here https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/raphael/
And choose the fastboot ROM for the version you want to install, then flash it in the Mi Flash Tool.
When flashing you MUST change the flash option at the bottom of the screen to 'clean all'. If you do not change this you will brick your phone (worse than it is now)
After this you can start again. Your best solution to flashing is to search these forums. There's many good guides here
Before we start, I am on an unlocked boot loader with Stock EU rom along with twrp/magisk installed.
So I went ahead and downloaded the latest full rom from c.mi.com and proceded to flash it via twrp, but before that, I made a nandroid backup just for safekeeping. Everything went well but when I tried to install magisk it gave me cannot mount system error. So i tried restarting Twrp but the whole storage was now encrypted even though I took of pin/password from the previous MiUi version. So I googled a bit and tried different Twrp version but none of them even booted but the original version so I gave up and just restored the nandroid backup and this is where the boot loop problem started.
In the end, I went ahead and flashed the whole thing using miflash which went smoothly but not without me being utterly depressed the whole time thinking that I might have hard bricked my device.
Is there any way I can avoid all this headache in the future when Miui 11 and android Q comes out cause I am pretty scared to even try to flash anything atm.
You need to wipe data after flashing TWRP otherwise you won't boot and also the phone will restore the stock recovery on reboot if you don't flash dm_verity
Check this post of mine it might help.

The problem was that no matter what recovery(apart from one) I tried including Orange fox, after flashing them via fastboot I always ended up being stuck at Mi logo ( even tried fastboot reboot recovery command)

Do you have the Mi 9T Pro?
If you have, only latest orangefox 1.0.0.7 or Mauronofrio's TWRP working for this device. Abhisheks or LR TWRP doesn't work on Mi 9T Pro.

Yup Mi9t Pro user here, and yea for me only latest Mauronofrio's twrp works, but not sure if it will work with Miui11/Q when it is released sometime today
Just googled the orangafox recovery you mentioned, is the one with OrangeFox-R10.0_7-Stable-raphael name?

I think it will work. Because I'm on indian Q Firmware with LOS 17 and there was no issue with Mauronofrio's TWRP.
Yes that's the right orangefox version. I didn't remember the exact name. I tried it once but went again back to TWRP because i grew up with it. :laugh:

Thanks for the info regarging Twrp. everything will go smoothly this time hopefully.
I also wanted to ask that did you format data after installing twrp via fastboot? I was reading on Twrp thread that if you get encrypted after flashing twrp then you will have to format all data for it to disable encryption. This is the only thing that I am still confused about and I really dont want to format my internal storage again . Can you maybe list steps that you took to upgrade to Android Q? thanks

I have Mi 9T pro like you and flashed Orangefox recovery version _07 and no problem at all, i also flashed disable_dm_verity just to be safe and i believe this is where people get stuck on mi logo, if you flash this file it blocks your system from restoring the stock recovery on reboot and makes your TWRP/Orangefox permanent.

you can download and install the TWRP Recovery on Xiaomi Redmi 8. This is an official TWRP.

thanks i'm currently waiting for the bootloader unlock count down
can you give me some instructions to flash TWRP on the phone cause i'm kinda new to this stuff
Use latest magsik manger apk extract your boot.img from your stock firmware then patch boot.img using magsik manger then flash the patched boot.img and first of all unlock your bootloader I recommend you use mi unlock sent request for unlocking your bootloader
Unable to install official TWRP in Redmi 8, Miui 11.0.7. It installed. and then vanished when rebooted. and then boot looped. Had to flash original recovery and boot img to reboot.
Had made sure that I didn't boot to system after flashing TWRP. and boot to recovery instead. It flashed okay. Could use the root after installing Magisk. But on reboot, all was gone. Boot looped.
hi bro how did you unlock bootloader on redmi 8 its on 11.0.6.0
Hey people, I have the same problem installing TWRP. When I reboot after installing twrp.img, the recovery mode show me the recovery from the original ROM stock. I made this process hundred of times and gets the same result, original Redmi recovery erase TWRP recovery.
If someone know any solution I would really appreciate it.

Hello, I am trying to flash TWRP from this thread on to my Mi 11 it works fine when i use fastboot boot twrp.img and then install twrp using Flash Current TWRP.
But when i then reboot my device miui 12 gets in a bootloop. So i flash miui again to get it working and TWRP is gone and so on.... any fix for this?
Write in those threadd. It is no needed to open new.
I bought a used MI 11 Ultra running Xiaomi EU MIUI 13 Stable. The phone had the stock Xiaomi recovery on it, and I tried to flash TWRP onto it.
After having flashed multiple phones with TWRP and custom ROMs before I have run out of patience with this one. TWRP refuses to work. I can flash it and boot onto it the first time, then boot into MIUI. However, any time after that TWRP is useless and unresponsive. Now I have no usable recovery. I am not flashing anything from it, I'm just trying to make it work.
I am aware of the fact that MIUI 13/ Android 12 does not support flashing by TWRP YET, but this is something I wanted to take care of now before I setup the phone for the first time so that when TWRP adds support for Android 12 then I would have it already installed.
At this point I just want to flash the official/stock recovery on the phone, but I can't find a single thread on that.
I'm also worried about the fact that the phone may ask for the password for the MI account that was used to unlock the bootloader.
What should I do?
Any help would be appreciated.
I may be wrong - but the first thing I'd try is to find a stock package, explore it's assets, find the recovery image and flash it with fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It may or may not work, but I'd try it, before I try going "full-stock" by flashing a complete image.
