How to install TWRP and Magisk on Redmi 8?

How to install TWRP and Magisk on Redmi 8?
I always end up in a bootloop and have to flash official rom over and over again.

I'm looking for installing twrp for the redmi 8 Olive, but still haven't found it. Where did you get yours?

Same here bro

Maybe you guys need to flash the no verity zip file after magisk?
Not sure if that will do the trick tho.
How are you installing magisk without any official or unofficial twrp???

I am not sure, but on cz.xiaomi page one admin take this link to redmi 8 twrp. I dont try it because i dont have unlock bootloader now.
Sorry i try to take link in here but this stupid server rules... "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
Go to miuios.cz to section redmi 8/8A, post MIUI CZ SK ROM + TWRP, you must be loged and in VMach3 post is this link.

I have only tried to boot mentioned recovery, but it was not working for me.
Code:
~/Downloads$ fastboot boot recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1127-REDMI8-CN.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 2.107s]
booting...
OKAY [ 2.121s]it
finished. total time: 4.228s
~/Downloads$
After automatic reboot started system. When manualy restarted phone booted to vendor recovery mode. No adb was available and any try to boot to system was failure - phone always booted to recovery mode. To boot to system I needed to select "wipe data" and then reboot to phone (but all previous data/configuration was deleted).

One more try with this Unofficial TWRP 3.3.1-1127 for REDMI 8 by wzsx150, this time it was success, everything was working smoothly.
Install from fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1127-REDMI8-CN-wzsx150.img
fastboot boot recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-1127-REDMI8-CN-wzsx150.img
my device:
Code:
fastboot getvar product
product: olive
Tested also with rom MIUI 11 xiaomi.eu without issues.

Hi. Am I right, this TWRP is for China version of Redmi 8? I have Global version. Will it work for me?

TWRP is language and version (global, china etc.) neutral. You have on first screen by first run button on right side at the bottom where you can select english language.

If you want root your phone with magisk, go directly to canary version. By stable version I got root only by adb, other apps were denied root access and freeze for a short time (for ex. Total commander beta).
On the other hand I was not able to use phone with not encrypted data with none of magisk version (stable or canary) even if I had "Preserve forced Encryption" unticked.
Code:
~$ adb shell getprop ro.crypto.state
encrypted
Tested on MIUI 11.0.4 by xiaomi.eu.

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.

Hello,
Did you reboot via button combo or fastboot reboot?
I read somewhere that Magisk is to be flashed before reboot.
Anyway, you will succeed.
I follow you because I am at 100 h to unlock.

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

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.

Evolution x problem

So i installed/flashed evolution x rom OSS vendor using orangefox (unchecked the unmount system thingy)without any error
my phone is decrypted so first thing i did is
wipe the cache,data,system,vendor,dalvik/art cache then
Add the evo x rom to queue then next is the DFE.zip then after succesfully flashed i reboot to system it worked and played for hours then I was planning to install magisk and pressed the reboot to recovery then the problem begun always stuck at fastboot wont boot to recovery cant even shutdown the phone always starts at fastboot.
whats the problem? or did I do anything wrong??
right now im using stock rom again but i want to use custom rom.
Mi 9t pro global latest update.

I had the same problem with other ROM. Even after flashing recovery once again my phone couldn't exit fastboot. The cause could be a damaged boot partition, but I'm not 100% certain.

flashed the latest fastboot version from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael to bring the phone back to life.
same problem? repeat after me:
choose a fastboot version, click download and then scroll down to the fastboot version (.tgz file type, don't get confused as the first download button is recovery version again...). extract and copy to minimal adb & fastboot. run "flash_all.bat".
phone starts with miui
softbrick, soft brick mi9 t pro, fastboot, flash stock rom, bootloop fastboot, Redmi K20 Pro, Raphael
still wondering what caused that bootloop...

Impossible to install TWRP on MI 8 stockROM

Hi!
I have an MI 8 with chinese stock rom. I tried many times to install a custom recovery but it's impossible. After reboot from flashing custom rom on fastboot mode with fastboot commands, still the stock recovery.
I tried to use XiaomitoolV2 as well, but with no success.
I'have my bootloader unlocked (lock open) One time I had to contact someone to unbrick my phone. He did the unbrick with some special account.
Any idea or what to do???
MIUI version > 12.5.1.0 Stable
Thanks in advance!!!

I was follow guide from here and working fine..

Did you try to flash the official Fox Recovery img for Mi 8 ? I have Mi 8 with Xiaomi EU ROM and I had flashed the TWRP recovery before and recently I switched from TWRP to Fox Recovery.
