Hi,
I have Carbon ROM with Android 10,
I wanted to flash Bliss ROM, and it says that I need a rooted device,
So I've downloaded Magisk and follow the instruction, created a boot.img and flashed it in fastboot, then I did the same only with twrp recovery & Magisk, flashed it and now it is wiered and I'm not sure what is the problem,
I have fastboot BUT when I try to perform any command, it shutsdown and preety useless, I've tried from PC, if I try from MAC, I can boot into twrp but every operation is causing the tablet to reboot.. So I can't even flash a stock ROM,
In PC, the recognized Android device (When in fastboot mode) I update it's driver to Android bootloader device
How can I solve it?
Thanks !!!

Hi, im having a little bit of a problem here, i succesfully managed to unlock the bootloader of my chinese mi8, flashed and booted twrp, the issue is, my files seem to be encrypted, i can't copy anything to the device while on fastboot/recovery mode from the pc, tried booting to miui, allowing the transfer of files and booting to twrp again (for some reason i can't boot to twrp from the device itself, it has to be via fastboot with the command "fastboot boot ***") but all twrp shows me are folders with random characters, it seems to be some sort of auto-encryption, do you know how to solve it?
Miui auto encrypts the device, that is why your device is encrypted. You are unable to boot to twrp for two reasons: 1. Miui auto checks and rewrites over any custom recovery 2. Fastboot boot command does not install twrp, it only boots into it, from which u must install twrp again.
Upon booting into twrp, you need to FORMAT data, flash TWRP, flash this file https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfec (DM-verity and anti-encryption) this will prevent anti encryption when your freshly flashed ROM boots up.
Side note: DO NOT RELOCK YOUR BOOT LOADER IF YOUR MI 8 IS CHINA VARIANT AND YOU ARE INSRALLING GLOBAL ROM.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU HEAD OVER ONTO THIS THREAD TO UNDERSTAND BETTER! https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/rom-mi-8-miui-10-global-beta-8-8-7-t3826560/page7

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
Amonlb

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.

my device is not starting the system anymore, it enters fastboot without problems, but twrp is very strange, does not erase anything from memory, does not install zip files, I tried to uninstall the magisk and error1 appears. I'm not able to install the rom stock of my device, I don't have much experience with it but I know the basics. someone help me please.
Info: -Zenfone 4 2017 (ZE554KL) SDM630 64GB/4GB
-The device was rooted (magisk)
-was with asus rom
-contains twrp 3.1.1-0 (problematic)
I tried asus flash tools but does not recognize my device, I tried QFIL and also did not recognize "port available" and an XML error occurred.
I do not know what to do.
----------
I don't know why, but TWRP worked perfectly after a while.
I managed to fix it by cleaning the stock ROM with TWRP and then installing the original recovery, I downloaded the first version of ROM to my device on the official website and installed.
Hi,
I have C11 RMX2185, unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and then some roms (pixel experience, next stock android 11, next CipherOS-2.0-KNIGHT)
everything worked fine and I was preparing to try some other ROMS
But now I am unable to enter TWRP (I was, I flashed roms with TWRP before)
In fastboot I do fastboot reboot recovery and TWRP started to load (blue TWRP logo), and it blink and logo, blink - logo,.... forever
I tried to flash boot.img, flash TWRP again, tried another release of TWRP for RMX2185, flashing vbmeta, format userdata, ..... all kind of posibilities without any error but stil unable to run TWRP
I can boot into system (CipherOS-2.0), I can do things in fastboot, when it loops in starting TWRP it is able to react to adb reboot
I run out of ideas.
Thanks in advance for some kicks in the back
All,
I'm attempting to figure out whether something in my flashing process broke down for one Zenfone 8 in particular that results in an unusable LineageOS 18.1 OS. This one particular phone was in a fastboot cycle that would not load the LineageOS Recovery mode or OS until I flashed the `dtbo.img` file. That fixed the fastboot and I was able to then sideload the OS.
However, the OS comes up with a white screen and extreme unresponsiveness. It's unusable. Other phones whereby I followed the same process (but did NOT need to flash `dtbo.img`) are working just fine.
I've run through the flashing process multiple times on the problem phone w/ no luck. Any thoughts appreciated. Should I get the phone back to complete stock and try again?
Flashing Process
-------------------------------
1. Unlock tool APK, unlock, etc.
2. fastboot flash vendor_boot sake_vendor_boot.img
3. fastboot flash boot recovery.img
a. When in fastboot cycle, I then flash `dtbo.img`, but I've only done this on the problematic phone
4. Factory reset
5. Restart, Recovery Mode, Update via ADB
6. adb sideload lineage.zip

HI
Lineage OS 18.x is based on Android 11 as far as I know so I suggest to install the original ASUS Android 11 raw image and then reinstall the LineageOS using the install instructions from LineageOS.
The raw image for Android 11 on the ASUS Zenfone 8 is available on this Website:
https://www.asus.com/Content/Android-12-Beta/
in the section
How to opt-out and revert back to Android 11
at the end of the page
That's how I reinstall my development Zenfone 8 from 12 to 11 or vice versa.
regards
Bernd
Just wanted to thank you for the information you posted; the re-flash to stock download worked perfectly for what I needed.
