Hello! On the official TWRP website I downloaded the latest version 3.7.0-11 and it turns out that I can't update the weekly ROM because TWRP doesn't show any file. Reading and asking on the internet they gave me a solution but I do not know how safe and reliable it is, they referred me to this link: https://www.123pan.com/s/qHhDVv-nuQJv where they tell me that I have to do, adb, "fastboot boot TWRP.img" with the version (BOOT) 3.7.0_12_Mi11_v7.0_A13-venus-skkk_64135681 .....the question is. How reliable is that file, considering that on the official TWRP website only supports Android 12 and earlier versions? Does anyone with Mi 11 and android 13 TKQ know how to solve this problem? Using ADB Sideload could it be possible to update without losing any data?
Thank you for all!!!

If you are on xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11_V14.0.23.1.3.DEV_v14-13.zip
and want to update on the
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11_V14.0.23.1.9.DEV_v14-13.zip
Start by removing security on the lock screen and reboot then use OTA to download the update and update the phone reboot and the twrp install the rom.
If you want to install the latest TWRP remove security on the lock screen and reboot then flash the TWRP in fastboot mode, assuming it is a TWRP boot.
Command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP.
If REC version
Install with TWRP or fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img
Note that the TWRP A13 is already on the rom that you use if weekly A13.
If your system is in A12 use a TWRP A12 to flash A13.
I have Android 13. When I try to download TWRP A13 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/re...wrp-3.7.0_12-v7.0_A13-venus-skkk.img/download I get: 'Software download may not be possible on this device'
When I flash current TWRP I get two sentences, in red (error) 'Unmont data.../.../.twrp'.
Is this command 'fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img' new to me, what is the difference with 'fastboot boot twrp.img'?
I don't know what this REC version means?

If the fastboot boot twrp.img command worked, it's a boot.twrp.
The REC version installs with the TWRP or fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img.

Sorry, 22.12.26 is the ROM.
'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' doesn't work for me, only the boot command.
I didn't try 'fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img' but the TWRP I have (3.7.0-11) is apparently not compatible with Android 13 and that's why some say it doesn't work, but I don't understand, it's the latest version on the official TWRP website.

22.12.26 was in Fastboot.zip because no functional TWRP at this time.

then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP.
Try several rebooting each time in Fastboot mode.
If after several attempts 5/6 still the same you will have to:
Format the data.
Twrp/wipe format data type yes reboot TWRP.
If error, red lines, repeat the operation as many times as necessary and reboot on the TWRP at each attempt.

To try.
In the Fastboot rom 22.12.26 look in the img folder and replace the recovery.img with the TWRP A13 by renaming it recovery.img.
Important check that the sizes are identical otherwise it will not work.
Then use the Update.bat file.
Then update via OTA.
This will allow you to keep the data.

There is no recovery.img but the 'boot.img' file happens to weigh exactly the same as the twrpA13skkk file.
Is it possible that boot is the recovery you are referring to?
If so, I should rename the twrpA13skkk.img file to boot.img in this folder.
Although, probably misinformed, I thought that boot is the one in charge of booting the system..... so I'm afraid that changing the file will only boot in TWRP mode without being able to enter system or fastboot.

Well, it seems that it is no longer called that.
By installing the twrpA13skkk version you told me, via fastboot, it works perfectly !!!!! I think a lot of people have had the same problem as me because we went to the official TWRP website and the latest version listed there is not compatible with Android 13.
I looked at the cmd command screen and I noticed that after typing 'fastboot boot twr.img' appears writing 'boot.img' so maybe you can change the boot.img file from xiaomi.eu by twrpA13skkk.img (renaming it to boot.img) but as we are not sure we better not move forward on that issue until someone solves that unknown.
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have found the TWRP version compatible with my device so thank you very much! This is the magic of forums and the internet, now I will be able to help other people thanks to you !!!!!
I have one last doubt, now that I can see the Zip file of the updated Xiaomi eu weekly version, to UPDATE WITHOUT DELETING ANYTHING I simply have to hit 'install' select the ROM and...already?
I ask this because some sites say that you have to do wipe/dalvik and wipe/cache.... in some sites say to do it before installing, in other sites say to do it after installing the ROM, in other sites say to do it before and after and in other sites say that none of this is necessary.

"TWRP website"is obsolete, use my link.
Update via ota then install, the phone reboot on the Twrp and install the rom. No wipe necessary.
Would it be possible to please move this discussion to venus forums? This forum is for alioth, and this discussion could lead to some confusion. Thanks.

Ok guys, this is a sureshot guide for
PROBLEM
* anyone wanting to decrypt their op3 but stuck at 1+ boot screen(Or not able to boot any custom ROMs.) and only able to restore twrp backups
* After using fastboot format userdata twrp and about phone shows only 32gb phone memory(where the hell is my rest of 32gb )
* Fastboot format userdata resulting in Stuck at boot screen or simply an unbrick trick to return to Stock OOS in unencrypted stage
SOLUTION
1. Use method 2 of Mega unbrick guide to restore your phone to stock partitions found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700
2. After the flashing is complete do not reboot the phone instead reboot directly into bootloader.
3. In fastboot mode flash modded twrp 3.0.2.22 using command ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
4. Reboot directly into twrp and using mtp mode copy latest elemental x kernel or bluspark kernel zip for OOS and SYSTEM supersu.zip into the internal storage. System supersu.zip here OR directly proceed to step 8
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
5. Now flash system supersu.zip and directly after that kernel.zip
6. Now again reboot to recovery directly and from twrp boot into system.
7. After boot up you system should be decrypted. You can check in security settings.
8.Reboot recovery and flash required firmware + modem zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628
9.wipe data +cache +dalvik +system
10. Flash any rom of your choice and go flashoholic, use multirom or whatever you want.
Pheww. Thanks.
Man, Finally the SystemRoot (V4A, MultiROM etc) as we discussed a couple of weeks back with this hassle at the Mega Unbrick and Decrypt guides threads...:highfive:
I saw your post on MultiROM but maybe it got moved I guess...
So are you able to cross flash anything now ?
thanks.

Thanks but, this is basically what i have done to decrypt my op3, i just used the CypherOs ROM instead OxygenOs, fastboot format userdata, reboot to recovery, flash rom, flash elementalx, and i didnt flash Supersu(dont know if thats causing my problem, i dont think so), i also did fastboot format userdata without being stuck at boot logo and still no 32gb, dont know whats the problem

What im saying is my device is decrypted as long it doesnt boot, am i right?

Yes you can but you will be encrypted again. so after msm method reboot fastboot and flash modded twrp. reboot recovery flash CB or OOS. flash supersu flash kernel. Agin flash twrp.img from recovery itself and reboot recovery. After that reboot system and you are good to go. Make sure you have enough system space before flashing supersu and kernel. frow twrp file manager delete unneeded system apps 1st. DO NOT REBOOT in between.

Hi there.
I have been flashing ROMS since ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) but for the last 18 months I have been a bit disconnected from it.
I am also new to everything Huawei.
I find a lot of times people referring to the eRecovery.
Where does this terminology (eRecovery) differ from the normal recovery, be it stock recovery or TWRP?
Is this eRecovery a Huawei thing or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
It is nothing to really worry or even think about. I don't think you can get rid of it or even if you could there is no reason. It's just second recovery which does a different things than the normal stock recovery. I think the eRcovery is needed for the stock update, but normal recovery isn't(not completely sure about this).
It is just good to know that device also has eRecovery, because there are some users who install TWRP and then they boot to eRecovery and then they think the TWRP installation failed.
I don't know is it just huawei thing.
Hope this helps a bit, even though it's a bit messy info.

Thanks for the information.
It has definitely given me a much better idea regarding what is eRecovery.
Much appreciated.
it's basically useless on this phone. it will never fetch any package nor restore your device. most people either just keep it and dont bother using it or flash TWRP over it. by having stock recovery as 'recovery' and TWRP as 'recovery2' you can have access to official OTA updates yet still being able to do everything you could do with TWRP

Yes, you can flash TWRP over eRecovery.
Since A8 and above you can not install TWRP over eRecovery from fastboot, only from TWRP:
- Copy TWRP file to the SD card
- Boot in TWRP, select storage - SD Card, select "Install image", find TWRP file and mark eRecovery, swipe.
- reboot .

And what's stopping you from installing TWRP instead of eRecovery and then installing Recovery back?
No matter what your ideal solution is, this is the only way.
Okay. So, I can an have tried to install TWRP just normally using fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img That works, but the issue is that I can't find the stock/original recovery.img to replace it with when I'm finished. I extracted the UPDATE.APP and found a recovery_ramdisk.img. I am kinda scared to try to flash it using the same command for twrp, so I haven-t tried it. Can u pls tell me if I shall do it So in theory, fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
Oh and FYI, that image was extracted from a working UPDATE.app I used for my particular phone and it has always worked, just that it restores EVERYTHING. I just want the recovery back when I finish with TWRP. I-m giving it away and dont want the new owners messing with TWRP, since it can do harm to the phone if misused. Thx!!!

Make sure your device is on international and unlocked of course
Boot into Twrp recovery and copy the system.img and vendor.img onto device
Flash both images in respective partitions and on both A and B slot
Wipe data after flashing and reboot into bootloader
From directory of the rest of IMG you've extracted you'll want use fastboot and flash:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img

Then reboot and done
Don't delete files just yet
Haven't tried but certain you can root this way:
After you've setup your device you can download magisk manager. Select the boot.img on you pc, in your dump folder, and copy it to your device again. In the magisk manager patch the boot image you copied, and copy that onto your PC
Now boot into bootloader and use command
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Or if that doesn't work try
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
And if device doesn't boot for any reason just flash back the stock boot.img
Enjoy
-About TWRP- (from my knowledge)
DON'T FLASH TWRP
I think recovery is running in boot.img now I'm not sure
But it seems we may need to patch the bootloader to have the recovery in there
Ive unpack both boot IMG from dp3 and Twrp IDK if they're made different but they look different unfortunately I don't understand enough to patch but hopefully that helps idk
So I wouldn't try flashing or booting into recovery it'll just freeze and flashing will mess up the whole device and you'll have to use msmtool again and redo process

It's not about patching.
Flash stock boot.img to both slots as I'm guessing you aren't sure which one your on.
I'll give u a twrp that works for qb3 also proper instructions.
T-Mobile version downside is we can't flash ota and we can't boot qb3 wth fastboot twrp so flashing the twrp.img now replaces kernel in boot.img.
Thanks, so I'll have to use the "flash recovery Twrp.img" command now?
Or, is it a custom one Twrp only for dp3?
And thank you by the way I'll probably post a guide using a backup from Twrp then
And I'm aware of checking the active slot with a command but I have trouble switching to the opposite after rebooting because of set_active command maybe I'm doing something wrong

Our recovery is built in boot.img.
Uploading now
---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------
Boot to fastboot
fastboot getvar all
See which slot is active.
If it's slot a then this
fastboot flash boot_a qb3-twrp.img
If it's slot b then this
fastboot flash boot_b qb3-twrp.img
Once flashed choose boot recovery and once it boots u can flash stock boot.img back then flash magisk 19.4 while in twrp.
U must use USB drive decryption isn't working yet. Or adb sideload.
I've only tested this on T-Mobile version running qb3.

Not yet, but if you flash the stock boot image after then would there be any point in flashing the patch boot before hand? And, what I was looking for is a more permanent solution. So, that it'll boot and you can go to Twrp whenever without having to use a PC.
If that's the case and it works then nevermind but I remember and if I'm mistaken that, even if you flash the Twrp installer it'll still boot loop after the installation.
If that's still a problem maybe someone more skilled than I, or even you, can patch the stock bootimg themselves. And, eveb get it working for the future time on Q
Maybe unpacking and looking inside the boot.img and Twrp.img, the repacking with the proper adjustments

I'm aware of the permanent solution your looking for. This is the first step. With magisk installed u can simply use the installer in my android file host by selecting modules push the + sign and find the installer then without rebooting install magisk direct install. Then u can boot to recovery with advanced reboot menu. U can also just do everything in twrp. After u flash twrp.img .
ayjays said:
Not used to giving guides
But you need to download the the QB3 update zip and upack the payload.bin with a payload dumper
Make sure your device is on international and unlocked of course
Boot into Twrp recovery and copy the system.img and vendor.img onto device
Flash both images in respective partitions and on both A and B slot
Wipe data after flashing and reboot into bootloader
From directory of the rest of IMG you've extracted you'll want use fastboot and flash:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img
fastboot flash dtbo_b dtbo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img

Just like my guide last month on OnePlus forums as I am jacksummers, even if u do this we still have no calling ability whatsoever. SMS is barely working and it still blows for us. I have been trying everything to get the whole thing to not only flash and install but be able to boot with no hardware mismatch... It won't work unless we can resign the firmware with OnePlus signing keys after changing everything to say "single" still. Since we cannot change the phone. There is still something in the phone that comes back as op6tsingle

Yeah u need to flash every other partition in the bin dump. If it tells u u cannot bc it's a critical partition then ya can't. Once u do so u will have full function and on calls. It's basically everything in the payload.bin but abl,xbl, hyp, and a few others that tell ya they're critical partitions. Once u do that everything works Perfectly.. my main issue was the call issue u described..but do as I suggest and all will work

Hi everyone, and a happy new year
I need some light please, i don't understand what i'm doing wrong :/
To follow this post, i can't install EU ROM anymore (via TWRP) and i don't know why...
1) i flash the EEA Global via MiFlashTool, all ok
2) i make sure to unlock bootloader, all ok
3) i flash TWRP (official 3.6), all ok
Finally i want to flash 12.5.20.0, or 12.5.17.0 of EU ROM via TWRP/install, the process end up nicelly, no error so reboot, now everytime /data is lost, so it only boot on twrp and nothing is here anymore, need to go back at 1)
That is so frustrating :/
Can anyone enlight me please ?
did you format data after flashing 12.5.20.0

If you want to flash 12.5.20 it's impossible to use TWRP.. it's android 12 and fastboot only

Thanks both of you !
Ok, but when i see files like 12.5.20.0 with a twrp flashing procedure labelled Mi11 Ultra, that let me think i can do it that way, it's misleading, at least :/
So, i flashed the latest 12.6 xiaomi eu rom and it worked
New problem, i then try to use twrp to flash magisk, i do fastboot boot twrp.img and then, /data lost again, so impossible to flash magisk :/
I tried both 3.6 official and 3.5.1 unofficial
p.s.: never set security pin/pass or whatever atm, so it's not a problem with the password
why do you want to try twrp to flash magisk?
copy the boot file from fastboot / images folder to your phone.
boot system, open magisk app, choose install, and search the boot file, patch. once patched, copy the file to the fhe pc.
reboot to fastboot
just type fastboot flash boot yourpatchedbootfile.img
you can type fastboot flash boot and drag the patched file to fastboot line

We don't know where you went wrong either because you didn't list the steps you took or what GSI you flashed or what stock ROM you started from. Or where you are looping.
starting firmware: X200ZCU2CWD3
Steps: 1. Unlock BL
2. flash TWRP via Odin V3.14
3. Format data partition
4. flash dm-verity disabler (File name: Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt)
5. reboot to fastbootd mode (using TWRP reboot menu)
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot flash system "img path"
8. fastboot -w

1. Extract the IMG to the adb folder and rename it system.img
2. Flash TWRP with ODIN
3. When booting into TWRP using the Volume up and Power key, select reboot and then fast boot.
4. When you get there, go on your PC and open cmd with the adb folder.
5. Now type fastboot devices just make sure you have the device connect properly. Type fastboot -w after.

Both 19.1-20230418 and 20.0-20230324 do install properly but there's certain bugs that make them unfit to be used as a daily driver.

TWRP and fastboot can't handle the encrypted data partition. So you need to format it. Current versions of LOS re-encrypt it as soon as you boot to system. And you can't use dm-verity on this model, so you can't disable it.

Has anyone managed to install a GSI on the SM-X200 with X200XXU2CWC1 firmware? I tried different LOS 20 and LOS 19 GSIs, with and without GAPPS, including the ones mentioned earlier from March and April, but did not succeed a single time. The tablet gets always stuck in a boot loop. I flashed via TWRP and wiped and formatted data every time.
Is it possibly the vendor firmware (SW rev. 2) that prevents the GSI from running? All guides from this forum seems to relate to a SW rev. 1 firmware like X200XXS1CWA3.

If you mean you used the "Install" button in TWRP to flash, then that is your mistake. The "Install" button only has the option to flash the "Super" partition and not the "System". You need to use "Fastboot" to flash the system image. I flashed from CWD2 which is even later than CWC1, so that shouldn't be a problem. If it was, then TWRP wouldn't have worked. I'm running LOS 20 20300507 bgN.
No, I used TWRP to get into fastboot mode and said fastboot flash system ...img. I have no idea what I did wrong. Previously I flashed Lineage on a couple of Samsung Tablets (SM-T510, SM-T505).

There are only certain LOS builds that work with this device, you're wasting your time if you are blindly flashing random ones.
Refer to earlier posts to confirm which ones do work. And like @lewmur just reported the newest build 20300507 bgN does flash successfully
The 20230507 bgN was actually the first build I tried before I went to older variants, including the 20220814 bgN that is mentioned in a different thread.
@lewmur : Did you do a clean flash and format data before you installed the 20230507 build on the CWD2 firmware? There might be some issues with format data and the TWRP 3.7.0-12.2 from this forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-for-2021-galaxy-tab-a8-10-5-sm-x200.4488691/) on the latest kernel. After I format data in TWRP, the tablet is recognized as writable media in Windows, but I get reading and writing errors when I try to access the about 22 GB large partition.
I know that it is impossible to roll back the bootloader to revision 1, but may it be possible that I extract and flash a kernel from the X200XXS1CWA3 to further investigate this issue?

You must do a clean flash. The purpose of formatting the data partition is to get rid of the encryption. TWRP can't handle the encryption. And LOS will re-encrypt it the first time you boot to system. As to extracting the kernel from CWA3, I don't advise doing that. It could hard brick the tablet.
