Hey, i've been looking for some time for a custom recovery, cwm or twrp for my alcatel phone and i can't seem to find one, anyone has ever seen one or something. I am having problems to update the custom rom i installed from this post and i think it might work with another recovery. Thanks
You can't Install a custom recovery on an Alcatel 1 , as it doesn't allows a user to flash recovery, even if you use the command "Flash recovery twrp.img" you'll get an error "Failed (Only System partition can be flashed"). So it's not possible to install recovery.
You can download the updated GSI and re-follow the steps in the guide.
what is the gsi?

Hello,
I'm lookig for a guide how to twrp, root and install custom rom, on my Mi5 miui 10 global stable.
I'm not newbe I did a lot of flashing on my previus phones Nexus and others. But this time I feel lost. I sit on miui 10 global stable. When I try to to flash twrp I get reroll to mi recovery every single time. All guides I found in the Internet are dedicated to older android versions. Xiaomitool don't help too.
Can someone point me to the right direction? It is time to change rom on my Mi5 finally to give him boost b4 I buy something new.
Best regards

Your bootloader is unlocked, right?
Then you need reboot to fastboot mode and flash latest official twrp via fastboot.
Like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp.img>
Have you tried it that way?

Bootloader is unlocked.
I did it that way but after twrp is installed I reboot and there is no twrp available. Only mi recovery.
To make it easier...
I would like to:
Flash twrp
Flash magisk and root
Flash firmware (why i need this?) Havoc os asks to flash it but I don't know why.
Flash havock os and gapps
Flash some mods for camera and sound
I don't understeand why twrp can't be flashed and I have no idea what is modified firmware for? Do I need this?
Thanks for your time
Try the the xiaomi eu rom guide .
I think you may need its custom bootloader , not the actual rom.
Than flash the firmware required for your custom rom and reboot directly to recovery again from twrp than rom and gapps , I hope that helps
Hi, i had the same problem, try this:
1. Flash twrp as usual(fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then fastboot reboot)
2. When rebooting, you have to enter at recovery (vol up + power) . Don't allow phone to boot! In TWRP official page, on installation instructions , they say after installation you must enter in recovery to allow TWRP patch recovery rom, because some Roms after boot reinstall original recovery.
3. Now you should have TWRP installed.
If you do
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then do
fastboot boot twrp.img
It's simpler and it will boot to recovery and patch the ROM to be permanently installed.

First,fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then no reboot your phone, just to hold the key combo (vol up + power), and then you can enter the twrp mode once because the recovery will be changed when your phone has rebooted.
But you can use the only once twrp mode to install the zip .
If you just want to use MIUI 10, you will flashboot twrp everytime when you need twrp to do something.
PS: Forgive me pool English.

Hi everyone, when I install the TWRP using the flashable zip installer and then boot into TWRP it gets stuck in the TWRP logo and when I flash from fastboot it works fine, but I need to install it from flashable zip because I TWRP the I have to start with the partition slot A that also has the custom rom, I can't always change slot partitions every time I have to do operations with the TWRP.
I would also like to note that using the twrp-installer-jasmine_sprout-3.2.3.zip results in the recovery mode sitting on the TWRP logo even if it was a successful install.
I'm hoping someone can find a fix to this soon.

Do you flash the rom before the twrp zip?
I found a workaround instead of using the zip package.
1. Get the current partition you are using:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
2. Choose which partition you want to install to( in this case I'm using B, but you can use A if you like ) and flash the latest TWRP IMG file:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.2.3-0-jasmine_sprout.img
3. Set the current partition to the one you just flashed:
Code:
fastboot set_active b
Yes but then to go to TWRP to do something I can't always use a PC and from fastboot change slots. I took so long to install Magisk.
I had to dump the boot partition, modify it with magisk manager and flash it with the TWRP, it doesn't seem like anything to dump but to me it was difficult because I don't have root at the beginning.
If I flash the TWRP in the boot partition in the resurrection remix slot, I lose the chance to start the custon rom
Fixed, after the 3000th time I flashed, then the TWRP starts up, I don't know how not to ask me why but now I try to hypothesize 2 solutions:
1) We have to stay for a while with the custom rom, then later when you will try to flash the zip, the TWRP will start.
2) You need to have both Magisk and TWRP installed in the boot in order to start the TWRP flashed from zip without problems.
These solutions do not know if they are like this or I am confusing myself, so it happened to me.
If in doubt, hoping for an update does not hurt, maybe the TWRP will start immediately with no problems in the future.
Hello guys.
I have a problem trying to install custom recovery on my phone. I tried the fastboot method ( fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ) it does install the twrp but after reboot the official recovery it's back.
The problem is that is not the first time I try to install, before I succeeded because I had the startup page of twrp with that slide. Now no matter what twrp I try to install it boots in twrp and after reboot stock comes back.
I tried even those scripts which are installing automatically the recovery but without success.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks

i have same issue. I use miui 11 android 9.
You have to flash magisk or other rom.
Hi there,
I've been rooting phones since Android 2, but lately it has been quite a challenge.
What I did so far:
Unpack new Xiaomi MI A2 (jasmine) device
Enabled Developer, USB debugging, OEM unlock in Android settings
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b TWRP-3.2.3-jasmine-20180804.img
TWRP ran fine. However, started with boot_a again.
OTA updated (about 6 times) to the newest version (Android 10, QKQ1.190910.002 V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM)
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b twrp-3.4.0-0-jasmine_sprout.img
TWRP started only to the splash screen (showing "teamwin" and "Recovery Project 3.4.0-0"). Why is TWRP not starting properly?
Downloaded the stock fastboot image V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM from https ://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/jasmine/ and flash the stock boot.img via
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b jasmine_global_images_V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM_10.0/images/boot.img
(my goal is to later patch it with Magisk and then install the patched version). However, the stock boot.img just hangs forever on the androidone screen. Why is the stock boot.img not starting properly?
I haven't used the Mi Unlock app and I didn't do an "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" yet. Is this necessary? What do I have to do to make the boot images work?

why do you feel you must use boot images ...the tried and working method for "jasmine" is to boot custom recovery and then flash magisk zip ( root only ) ..or...flash custom recovery installer zip which will flash recovery to both a/b slots.. then flash magisk
to properly boot you need to overcome stuff like secure boot and force encryption
if you aren't planning on custom roms just boot twrp to flash magisk
or
flash installer zip for recovery and wipe everything including formatting data to remove encryption and boot directly to recovery to install custom rom
twrp custom recovery had problems with decryption on stock rom ...secure boot won't allow booting modified images ..
lastly remember on jasmine there is no recovery partition..so everything is in the boot image ..magisk and recovery ..so everytime you flash stock , stock boot overwrites these changes and should flash everything again
tbh that's why i converted to wayne to get old partition layout as the A/B story pissed me off

Ok. So I'm back to Stock image jasmine_global_images_V11.0.12.0.QDIMIXM_10.0 by executing "flash_all.sh". You are saying I should "simply boot". You mean:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-3.4.0-0-jasmine_sprout-for_V11.0.12.0.img
right? That doesn't work, it won't boot. How do I overcome secure boot and force encryption?

yes im saying that but post a pic of the error ...why or how doesn't it boot ..
if it is the official twrp just dump it and look for the unofficial Russian one or one modified by Nebrassy or use Orange fox and or Pitch black ..official is broken last time i checked
also the name of that looks like one hell of a job ..shorten it to
recovery.img or twrp.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
but first run
fastboot getvar all
& also run fastboot flashing unlock_critical
but most importantly get another recovery
& i don't want to insult your intelligence but after flashing stock did you check to make sure bootloader was still unlocked and that dev settings was activated and that adb was toggled to on and that you authorised adb again
basicall after stock boot device and do the above ..plug in usb ..toggle adb ..authorise ..run adb devices ..if you see your device ..adb reboot bootloader ..fastboot devices ..see your device ..fastboot getvar all ..see bootloader is unlocked ..fastboot flashing unlock_critical if not done yet ...make sure to do ALL the above again after data gets wiped.....put twrp in adb folder ( MUST BE UNOFFICIAL RUSSIAN OR MODUFIED BY NEBRASSY ..rename to revovery.img ...fastboot boot recovery.img .. use file manager to put magisk.zip on internal then flash ..then reboot to rooted phone with stock recovery ...

Of course it is the official one. OMFG twrp-3.4.0-0-jasmine_sprout.img is broken (freezes on the TWRP splash screen), but version 3.3.1 seems to work. That's a relief, so I will try to flash magisk now. Although, I think I will need to do the decryption thing for jasmine first, but I guess I'll follow https://www.the***********.com/install-twrp-recovery-root-xiaomi-mi-a2-a2-lite/ mostly

jajaja well now you know ...be careful ...some "official" roms are also more buggy than unofficial ones for Jasmine/Wayne..
LOS is an example ..so be forewarned .. if you like android 1 i guess stock rooted is a smart option to keep updates and keep device certified for google stuffs . .
alternativeky go FULL custom rom because stock and custom recovery is just a pain and not worth the hassle on an A/B treble device flashable by fastboot ..just boot the recovery when if ever needed
fyi ..you can flash magisk and it will boot ...if you don't try changing the recovery ..so you can have stock rooted with magisk without rcustom recovery...* recommended by me if you only wamt stock with root

All good now, thanks for your help! I just flashed Magisk (and also TWRP) and everything works nicely! I will need to get some experience, but I'll keep in mind that I maybe want to get rid of the TWRP recovery. Finally security testing is fun again. Thx!
So i have TWRP 3.6.0_9-0 installed and i flash Pixel Experience on the device and it runs fine but then when i go back to TWRP it says unable to mount storage and then later on if i try the EX2 -EX4 file system method it goes into Boot loop and i have to reflash the ROM and also there is a problem as in If i install The Rom and Magisk at the same time it also goes into bootloop issues. So clearly The Pixel Experience isnt able to be rooted or something is wrong with my TWRP. I am new to putting custom Roms in my device so i was wondering if anyone of you can educate me about the same. Thank YOU <3
