My 6x (converted a2 + ARB4) is running EMUI 10 on pie (BETA EU version), so the TWRP does NOT work on my device. (PitchBlack works as a charm)
I've found this Recovery, it boots properly but if it secure to use this recovery for FLASHING or RESTORING either?
Since it is for whyred and not wayne!

Is it working for you? As you have already flashed it check if everything works. We may adopt it for our device also.

I've just used the "boot" (not "flash recovery") command and it booted successfully, I didn't flash the recovery itself on my phone, neither haven't used it for flashing roms.
BTW PitchBlack has OTA support which is very handy.
The issue I have is that I am unable to install any custom rom in the phone, I am only able to correctly install xiaomi.eu roms and also miui global roms using fastboot method. Any custom rom I try, like Pixel Experience, but also many others, the phone will boot loop. Tried android 10 and android 9 roms, also tried to flash roms coming from an older global miui rom, just like one tutorial recomended to do, but still nothing. In TWRP there are no errors, rom seems to install correctly, but when I reboot the phone it will boot loop.
Another weird issue is that only some versions of TWRP will install on my phone, right now I am using Orangefox 10.0.3, version 10.0.4 just won't install, I flash it but nothing happens. TWRP versions from mauronofrio won't install for some unknown reason.
I'm at a loss really as to what is happening.

1. Try the latest OrangeFox beta - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/official-orangefox-recovery-project-t4039531
2. If you have any issues with it, then report (with logs) in the OrangeFox thread.
I wanted to start this thread to keep up with the information i've gathered working with this.
So far, magisk roms seem to work fine.
Working with other roms built for other OP7P models is not, however, ive had good progress with one. I initially tried havoc (didn't know it but it was Q based) and flashing each partition in fastboot worked, but i had no service. No sim error in fact. I then used a recovery msm tool and went back to OOS. Proximity sensor broke for some reason.
I then tried the same thing but with a Pie based Havoc rom. No dice, twrp wont even boot (twrp would boot on the opposite slot and install to both). Even with installing twrp, it wouldnt load it or the os. Now, im going to continue testing things out here, but if anyone has any more info or wants to try this, that would be awesome.
Update: Tried Aosip, same as Havoc pie. I found I was able to store my OOS Pie installation on slot B, and reboot to it by changing slots with
Code:
fastboot --set-active=other
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
I was on MIUI 20.8.25 beta (Android 10) by Nebrassy then flashed Octavi OS (Android 11) then when again I flashed MIUI 20.8.25 beta (Android 10) by Nebrassy, my fingerprint sensor seems to be broken. I even tested with the tester app and it displays 'fingerprint not found'.
No idea what went wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.
Update 1:
Tried to restore twrp backup. Sim cards stoped working, I mean detecting.
Update 2 :
Flashed stock rom via miflash tool and now everything seems to be working fine.
You can try the other rom again but flash another kernel. I use the one from awaken os and it works fine.
I was using pixel experience ROM for some time and I tried to update to the latest plus edition. The installation guide recommended full format data and flashing. I did as instructed. Now I'm stuck in booting into TWRP recovery. I looked up a few kinds of stuff and none of them worked. Is anyone else facing the same problem? has anyone got a working fix? I tried removing the TWRP folder, re-flashing TWRP with TWRP and orange fox recover, and then flashing ROM. non helped. got a broken phone now any help is appreciated.

AOSP roms can be under ANDROID 11 or 12 or 13.
PixelExperience
Android OS version: 11.0.0_r40
The first version is in A11 and since August in A12
Version: 12
File name: PixelExperience_raphael-12.1-20220820-1826-OFFICIAL.zip
I had A12 then. I flashed pixel experience 12.1 on May 28(PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220528-1605-OFFICIAL.zip) and it went thru just fine. Now the updates of 8/20 bricked the phone.
After format data, I get the Readonly info screen, I swipe to allow modification, side loads the latest download PixelExperience_Plus_raphael-12.1-20220820-1448-OFFICIAL.zip, and restart, but back to TWRP recovery.
Some things I tried
0. https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/raphael/install/
1. https://www.getdroidtips.com/keep-booting-twrp-recovery/
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixelexperience-stuck-in-bootloop.4435533/ ( it's shown for beryllium but I did for Raphael code with all files related to Raphael version such has recovery and pixel exp. img file
Any other flow I can try to get it fixed ?
I'm thinking to reverting back to MIUI is nth works.

Wipe everything, system, vendor, internal storage, dalvik, cache via advanced wipe, then flash firmware and vendor or if your rom has included firmware then just flash the rom directly. Try to boot into OS if it still bring back to twrp then again repeat the above steps and this time flash stock vendor and firmware from mi website and try to boot into OS.

All the best
yes using the team win version of TWRP. Used Orange Fox recovery. ( nice look and feel and features btw). But they didn't work either. What could I try more? Could I be able to revert back to MIUI stock ROM ? let me know if you have good resources. Thank you very much for your time and efforts

Back to MIUI
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
flashed stock miui rom for now. Will tap into pixel rom in few days.
now that I think, I think I did a blunder, thinking I was in A12. Can you point me to A12 firmware for Redmi k 20 pro? I"m looking into https://miuirom.org/phones/xiaomi-12, but they seem to be recovery and not firmware. I'm not sure if recovery comes with firmware. As I need to format to install, will the firmware stay or not?

Xiaomi has stopped updating on Android version 11.
Which rom do you want to install?

Why bothering to manually search here and there for official ROMs
Install the app:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
and the app will show you links to download the latest Global, EEA, etc, zip/recovery or tgz/fastboot, or you can scroll through the older versions and pick an older if you wish
Btw, latest are MIUI 12.5, A11 - there are no official A12 ROMs for Mi 9/Redmi K20 line of models
Even if they receive MIUI 13, it will be (for some already released, but eg China only, etc) it will be A11
Same issue, I guess this is it for me. Time to buy a new phone rather than accidentally losing data from time to time with custom ROMs. I wonder if they didn't know such issue exists before releasing it to the public.
