After several time failing to flash persistent TWRP, i figure out that miui boot image overwrite custom recovery maybe. Thus, although flashing twrp via adb successfully but it will go back Mi recovery after reboot device.
Let follow my step to reach successful installation persistent TWRP
1. Unlock bootloader your device is prerequisite
2. Down load ADB & TWRP(sakura).img
3. Access into fastboot mode by holding Pow + vol-
4. Shift + Righ click at ADB folder and chose "open command window here"
5.Type command "fastboot flash antirbpass twrp.img" => your sakura will access into TWRP
Not use command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" ortherwise you will get error : FAIL (remove: rollback version downgrade)
Remember : never let your device boot into Miui otherwise you will fail
6. In TWRP chose wipe/format data – type yes .After that you chose reboot/recovery. Now your device return fastboot mode again
7.In PC type command "fastboot boot twrp.img" => your device access into TWRP
8. In TWRP chose install/install image then select file TWRP.img and sweep for installing
Now TWRP was installed persistent in your device

Follow these easy steps
Makes sure you have the GSI image on your sdcard before starting this, if your coming from lineage OS backup your data!
1.Unlock Bootloader
2. Boot into bootloader, check your slot if on B switch to A and vice versa.(fastboot set_active a/b) or you can stay in your current active slot up to you.
3.Download twrp and flash it (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
4.Boot back into boot loader and run "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" link with b11 vbeta.img
5.Boot into twrp,Format data or in bootloader run this command "fastboot format userdata" to get rid if encryption else gsi wont boot then, go to "install" navigate to your sdcard where you place the gsi , look for 'select image" then flash your gsi.
6.To flash gapps(skip if the gsi includes them) if your using a aosp gsi go to twrp then go into /wipe/advanced wipe/ select system on the options then "repair or change file system" then press on "resize file system" this will resize your system partiton back to 3.X gigs and allow you to flash gapps.
7.Then reboot to system
8. Your gsi "should" boot

having trouble
Steps I followed:
(bootloader been unlocked but double checked to be sure)
Started from LineageOS 16 clean flashed based
booted rom made sure Debug was enable in settings did nothing else
booted to bootloader
>fastboot set_active a
>fastboot boot "D:\Android\Flash\Recovery.img"
In Recovery:
Installed Twrp zip
install zip DisableForcedEncryption.zip
-reboot bootloader
>fastboot flash vbmeta "C:\Users\chris\Downloads\ZTE_Flash\vbmeta.img"
>fastboot format userdata
boot to recovery:
Installed GSI Image of Havoc OS to System image
Flashing system image......
simg2ing '/sdcard1/Havoc-OS-v2.9-20190914-phhgsi_arm64_ab-offical.img' 'dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system_a'process
ended with ERROR: 255
got creative because nothing i was doing was fixing the problem so i went into fast boot and
>fastboot flash system "location/of/Havoc.img"
now no longer can acess the recovery not even but fastboot boot img command and back in a bootloop hell
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot "D:\Android\Flash\Recovery.img"
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.605s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
finished. total time: 0.640s
also i have no way to return to the original 10 pro rom whenever i flash it via the EDL tool with one of the US edl
Zips you provided i have boot loop but it gives me enough so i can have bootloader mode accessible but i have to rerun
the bootloader unlock. but flashing Lineage 16 seems to be the only thing to make my phone functional without giving it boot loop hell
ill try do it with bliss later but if there's anywhere i went wrong or how to solve the 255 let me know i really want to try out one of those GSIs
but im running on the US rom and using the TWRP for my pro from the fourms so i just really confused here idk if i could possibly give you anymore details
ok update i got it working
1. the 255 i fixed by
"
Reboot into recovery, TWRP
Go to the terminal in "Advanced"
Type cd /system to change the path to the system folder
Type rm addon.d to remove the addon file
Type exit to quit from the terminal
Now back to TWRP home, try backup/restore again, it should works.
Further adjustment: do check the use rm -f to format disk settings of TWRP, to make sure TWRP won't mess up the filesystem."
secondly what was ruining me was a big dumb mistake on my part you HAVE to do " --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" with the latest ADB tool kit I was using minimal adb and fastboot then got it to work
In step 5,i can not boot into TWRP and phone displays ZTE crashdump mode.
Please help.
Thanks.
Edit: I fixed it and can flashed this rom but it has some bugs.
Well, a lot of people wanting to root global miui 11.0.7 and not being able to... So I did it on my Global redmi 7a - MIUI 11.0.7 Global.
Simple though. Apart from whats being said, u can update Magisk to v20.+ after flashing
the 19 version, through the app Magisk Manager automatically installed after flashing.
Prerequisites & Downloads:
- Your bootloader must be unlocked (https://en.miui.com/unlock/)
- ADB and Fastboot -> I did on windows version, maybe can be done on linux...
- patched boot.img for miui 11.0.7 global
- vbmeta.img
- Magisk v19.3 zip -> place it on the root of your external sdcard
This is basically copied from cg730620's post [Guide][Redmi 7A] TWRP, Root with Magisk, Custom ROM [GSI][Pie] and Avedroid's vid
1 - Unlock bootloader and flash stock miui 11.0.7 recovery rom, using miflash 2017
CAREFUL! On the lower right corner check the first option, "clean all", or you may end up with a locked bootloader.
-> exactly the same from the quoted post from now on, what differs is the files and we are only flashing magisk v19.3
"2. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3. Rename patched boot file to boot.img
4. Rename custom recovery file to recovery.img
5. Place boot.img, recovery.img, vbmeta.img in Program Files (x86)/Minimal ADB and Fastboot/ folder
6. Turn off your phone.
7. Reboot phone to fastboot mode by holding Volume-down button while pressing On/Off-button. You know you are in fastboot mode when you see a cartoon bunny.
8. Connect the phone to your PC via USB.
9. On your PC open command prompt and nagivate to ADB folder, or open command prompt window directly from right-click menu in ADB folder; just right-click on empty space and choose 'Open command prompt here'
10. In command prompt, enter the following commands:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
11. Now reboot to recovery: Press Volume-Up button on your phone and enter the following in command prompt:
or just turn off the phone and reboot by holding Volume-Up and On/Off button (release On/Off when phone turns on, keep holding Volume-Up until you see screen of TWRP recovery)
12. Swipe to allow modifications. If TWRP asks for PIN, enter the PIN code you set for your unlock screen.
13. In TWRP choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe. Select 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'. Then Swipe to Wipe.
18. In TWRP choose Install. Select the Magisk zip-file on your phone and then Swipe to confirm flash.
Reboot to system, open Magisk, update and there u go.
Same steps of the beginning of Avedroid's video, only with modified boot.img and Magisk Version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSs08O6uGVI&t=324s
After 16:30 of the video he flashes a custom gsi rom which is not of the interest of this thread, just flash magisk.
Thanks to all who made it possible, especially Avedroid and cg730620
Post questions and answers here, please, NOT in PM.
Good luck!
Thank's it's work fine on custom gsi too, i just flash patch boot, vbmeta, finally install magisk success
I did everything right, however, when it came to installing Magisk, the following error occurred: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1".
So I redid the whole process, but before installing Magisk I did the following: I went to Mount, I deselected the System partition and after that the installation proceeded normally.
Well, I don’t know if this is the best way to fix this problem, I don’t understand much of these things, but it ended up working for me.
Thanks for the post
I will do some tests to see if everything is working.

I wish to obtain root / access to magisk,
Wanting to know if I can do this without losing data (having to delete system data)
Thank you
Hello.
So I was trying to root my Redmi 7A - v10.2.1 with TWRP 3.3.1 but now I am stuck in a bootloop.
What I did:
1. Flash boot.img
2. Flash recovery.img
3. Flash vbmeta.img
4. reboot
Phone rebooted to system and TWRP was installed.
Then I booted to TWRP to install Magisk-v23.0.zip,
I went to Advanced Wipe, then wiped 'Dalvik / ART cache', 'System', 'Data', 'Cache'.
When I rebooted, it went into a bootloop, when I go to TWRP it says 'No OS INSTALLED".
What did I do wrong? And how to recover?
Thanks.

Im also getting the same error,, but what do you mean by "deselected the System partition". I see "system_root" in Mount but not "System"
