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 tried to flash some stock 9.0.0 firmware on my P20 pro and now I have some weird bootloop.
When I boot up my device I get a flash for a second full of random colors and then the device starts to boot up.
Devices boots up normally but after one minute of using the device it gets in to reboot.
I have my backup from 8.1.0.0 via TWRP but now my TWRP encrypts all data, I tried several TWRP and on every TWRP data are encrypted.
My question guys:
Can I flash ROM from fastboot because this is the only thing that I can do?
I have even tried to go to eRecovery (i managed to flash stock recovery) and when I want to download stock ROM from recovery it says that I have no packages available for download.
There is confusion over which recoveries to install for Redmi 6 (cereus).
Failure to install the correct TWRP will result in a hard brick with no chance of restoring the device without an authorised account or going to a Mi Service Centre.
If you are currently on the MIUI Oreo ROM:
You may ONLY use TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
The recovery by either TWRP or LR.Team is both ok.
If you are on the PIE rom:
You MUST use TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2 nocrypt Pie is confirmed to be working by me.
To root MIUI pie, follow the instructions in this post from 4PDA. This is because you will be unable to decrypt data.
You need to create an account to download the patched boot.img. You can either create one yourself or ask me or someone else to PM you with the boot.img. I will not attach it to this thread because it is not my work. The files have now been attached. See post below.

OK here are the boot files from 4pda

I did something wrong just don't know what
I tried with OrangeFox and when rebooted in recovery the phone would not turn on and just vibrates.
I was lucky because I just needed to open and remove the battery to get the phone back up.
So just to get it right (please correct me if i'm wrong):
Starting from unlocked MIUI stock with android 8.1 base:
0) Download patched boot image from OP
1)Download TWRP 3.3.0 OR 3.2.3-0 OR 3.2.3-1
2)Download Magisk 19.3 Stable (would the latest stable also work https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445?)
3)Download official Pie Rom: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip
4)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP
5)Enter TWRP -> Flash the Pie Rom -> Flash patched boot.img -> flash Magisk
6)Boot into system -> Leave the device alone for 2-3 minutes and install Magisk Manager
7)Download -> TWRP 3.3.1 or OrangeFox Recovery. R10.0-2
8)Enter Fastboot -> Flash TWRP/OrangeFox
would this be the correct procedure?
cheers

?????????????????????
Why don't you skip steps 1-3 and just use XiaoMi Flash to install 10.4.4.0 via Fastboot by 'saving user data', then follow the instructions here? XiaoMiFlash will overwrite your recovery with the default so there is no risk of a brick. Then Flash TWRP Pie, flash boot img, flash magisk.
As I have said, you will brick your device. If you have TWRP Oreo, and then you install MIUI Pie, you will brick your device. You are doing EXACTLY what I told you not to do!
It didn't come out as clearly as you think. maybe it's my own deficiency.
btw whenever i flashed any update via TWRP the recovery got replaced by stock recovery as well.
(I don't tell this to call into question that your suggested way of doing was the most safe way.)
Is XiaoMi Flash available for linux as well?
edit: do you know if the latest magisk stable 20.0 would also work?

I'm not sure - I have never flashed any MIUI ROM in TWRP. It seems normal though - the updaterscript probably tells TWRP to overwrite itself.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-miflash-linux-t3708847 It's a bit complicated
This work for me :
1 - Install Pie Rom https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM/miui_HM6Global_V10.4.4.0.PCGMIXM_99304098f7_9.0.zip with TWRP 3.3.1 https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/62 or with another method.
2 - Shut down the phone , go to fastboot (Vol - and power), plug to computer.
3 - From the computer fastboot flash boot boot_10.4.4.0_R6_mgsk_193.img (see the second post of this thread).
4 - fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0602-REDMI6-CN-wzsx150.img
5 - Recovery (Vol+ and power)
6 - Install Magisk 19.3
Reboot and enjoy
Hi, currently I'm on stable China mui v10.4.3.0. Do you have boot.img on that v10.4.3.0. Currently link only provide boot.img for v10.4.2.0 for the china version. If no how do I get those, can I just backup them from twrp, Then create patched boot img with those backup boot? Thanks

Does anyone else have a similar problem?
View attachment 4862683
I have the camera and flashlight problem too. Any fix?
Unfortunately, I didn't find any solution.
Currently, my phone does not start, has a black screen and vibrates all the time. I can't run it in any way
EDIT:
Hi.
I was able to bring the phone to life. Get instructions on how to get to the battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9FH88b16bc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAflA4UKLLY. In orangeFox recovery I checked the flashlight, it works.
That makes us two. My phone is unusable at the moment. I thought the root was responsible for the camera bugs, I uninstalled magisk, the bug was still there. I tried to reinstall MIUI 10.4.4 ang got an error. I've wiped everything including vendor and system.
I clean dalvik and cache and for now the phone is working even, after flash the patch boot.img

Hello this is the steps i did but when rebooting to recovery i end up on blackcreen or mai i say powered off screen with the device unable to boot to recovery,any ideas what i did wrongly?
It seems there is something wrong with that boot patch. I followed a procedure on youtube and my phone is succesfully rooted without any bug
@ambyy

Hard brick caused by flashing wrong TWRP is indeed able to get solved with unplugging the battery.

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!
I am not responsible for any mishaps you may do on your device!
Prerequisites
Unlocked bootloader (Obviously )
Must've installed android_sdk/platform-tools, if not download and install it here, afterwards extract it to somewhere easily accessible
The recovery itself, to which you may download it here officially, and place it inside to where the android_sdk/platform-tools where extracted
A personal computer
Steps
Reboot to fastboot and plug your USB cable to your PC
On your PC launch command prompt to where the extracted android_sdk/platform-tools are
Verify if your PC detects your device by inserting fastboot devices if your device is not detected you may need to install specific driver for your device.
Flash the respective recovery image using fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img (replace <recovery_filename> with the actual filename!)
After installation verify if recovery is installed by rebooting to recovery using fastboot reboot recovery
You are done, congratulations!

Yes, you can utilize the adb side load feature to install the operating system you want.
After flashing the recovery, i get:

Does this work for Redmi note 11?
I'm having issues on my recovery mode, my touch is not responding (TWRP installed), but works in normal boot with some problems (this happened after I changed my screen)
So can this recovery install custom roms and also work with the volume buttons?
