[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][CHIRON] Red Wolf 027 - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

I'm sorry for posting this here (I did't posted enough to have access to post new threads in the ROM section)
I ported the Red Wolf recovery (based on TWRP 3) for the Mi Mix 2.
I did not compile it from source but merged the RedWolf-027-kenzo.img and an unofficial TWRP-build for the Mi Mix2
Known bugs:
Touchscreen does not respond till the screen is locked and unlocked
Flashlight does not work
backing up wifi (and other special) partition (probably not set in fstab)
...
Tested and working:
Mounting partitions including the SDCARD
Setting up a password
Flashing ROM's and ZIP's
...
All credits to the RedWolf team, TWRP team and the person who ported TWRP to the Mi Mix 2 in the first place.

Use at own risk. My phone is still alive after flashing a new ROM so I assume it's ok to use..

fingerprint sensor stopped working for me after a few rom flashes. also official twrp is now available, is this still being maintained?

It doesn't matter if you use TWRP, Redwolf recovery or any other recovery. I have no plans to maintain this recovery. Maybe when a newer Redwolf comes with extra features in a newer version I port a new version.
When you flash a different rom it is recommended to clear data. You can try to roll back to the last working rom and hope your settings and and data of your fingerprint sensor will work again. DIsabling and enabling your fingerprint can also do the trick. Otherwise restore a backup or clear data, cache and dalvic cache.

AOSP, RR Resurrection Remix, ArrowOS and others

I just wanted to point out that I have been able to boot some treble GSI on my device from different roms like AOSP, RR, ArrowOS in the treble section of XDA and some of them boot fine, but I have found some issues:
PHH PIE GSI doesn't like magisk it breaks wifi and mobile data once magisk is flashed
PHH Oreo AOSP GSI I do not remember any issues besides being too stock for my liking
RR GSI It has so many options almost comparable to what a Venom Rom would be for HTC devices
TWRP it is not able to read encryption on any of this GSIs
AOSP Oreo I don't remember if the other variants GSIs does not read exFAT formatted MicroSD (works on PIE GSI)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
I would like more users to share their experience here with GSIs
the steps I took to flash this
1. make sure you download an arm64 AB GSI image from your favorite ROM
2. go to TWRP wipe section wipe system, Dalvik cache data & internal
3. go to TWRP wipe section format data, type yes
5. restore stock Vendor.img and stock Boot.img
6. flash GSI
7. reboot & enjoy
first boot might take awhile it encrypts the device, thi is the part that makes TWRP not being able to decrypt data since TWRP decrypts Qualcomm Encryption on our device but no stock android encryption this part it is possible to fix by TWRP team and it will probably come in later
Thanks for sharing. I was planning on trying out a GSI this weekend and see how it goes. Glad it works!
I forgot to save the stock vendor and stock boot file I need these two files Can you help

Read the OP there
I tried to boot the RR img, no dice.
Backed up modified rom on slot b
Switched to slot a in TWRP, supposedly empty
Wiped system, data, cache, dalvik
Flashed prior stock vendor img and boot img
Flashed RR ab arm64 su gapps Img
Rebooted slot a
Bootloop
Interestingly, after looking 3 times, my phone booted back to slot b by itself back to stock, back up restored just fine
I realize I didn't wipe factory reset with yes
Finally got RR to to boot! It's a very finicky process. I think my problem was I kept trying to "dual" boot, Viper in one slot and the GSI in the other. Turns out it just has to be in the active slot, regardless of which slot you switch to in TWRP. Maybe that's obvious for some. This a/b partition business sure has a learning curve.
Anyway, things I noticed on RR: Lots of customization as usual for RR, very fast and smooth, screen brightness is on max all the time regardless of slider or auto brightness, and I couldn't make phone calls but texting worked. Everything else seemed to work fairly well. I love the fling navbar....on to the next one.
I'm not sure if anyone else is trying the GSI's, this doesn't seem to be a very active thread. So far I have only been able to boot RR 8.1 GSI. I have tried multiple other images without any success. I think the reason I didn't get data and calls didn't work on RR is that I am on Verizon and the HTC u12 does not have CDMA radios. Volte calling was not available on the rom. Oh well. I'm excited for the upcoming developments in the Viper forum. If anyone knows a fix for data on verizon with the GSI's, I'm all ears. Thanks
Anybody successful in making one of this ROMs a daily driver?
Sent from my HTC U12+ using XDA Labs
Resurrection Remix 8.1 is pretty stable if you are on a gsm network. I popped in a Tmobile sim card and it was pretty solid. There are some minor annoyances like the inability to adjust the brightness (always on full), though decreasing screen pixels makes it more dim, vendor mismatch message on boot, and no volte or wifi calling. There may be some other small things like with the camera and bluetooth but I didn't keep it for long as I am on Verizon and don't get data. I could see using it as a DD though. There are probably ways to fix the annoyances I mentioned.
Have any of you tested this version of RR on U12+?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-arm64-32-b-t3891636
For example, face recognition, 4k camera mode, slow motion recording, 3D sound, AudioFocus, bokeh mode etc.?

[GUIDE] How to flash Android 9 Pie (PixelExperience, Havoc OS etc.)

Hello fellow XDA members and flashaholic people! This is a guide about flashing sGSI or GSI (semi-GSI) Android Pie images on VINCE.
This guide is for VINCE only! Please don't try it on WHYRED it may work or it may not.
First you need to treble enabled custom recovery. I suggest OrangeFox V8.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
You can either flash it via TWRP or extract zip and flash recovery img by fastboot method.
Second you need treble enabled custom Oreo ROM, I suggest Cardinal-AOSP as it's vendor.img works flawlessly. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/rom-cardinalaosp-t3774232
And third step includes the GSI image. You can find several GSI's here; https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
After downloading .zip file from any ROM you wanted extract it to get its system image and move it into the either internal storage or SD card. [SYSTEM IMAGE ONLY NEEDED]
I tried Pixel Experience 9.20 and Havoc OS 9.18 builds both booted without issues.
Please note that you need GApps package for ROM's (Except PixelExperience) you can find them here; https://opengapps.org/ Suggested package is Nano one. But if you want more you can go for bigger packages. I always use Mini version of it.
Steps to get Pie working on our device:
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DO NOT DEVELOPING ABOVE GSI IMAGES OR HELPING TO DEVELOP. IF YOU HAVE ANY BUGS TO REPORT PLEASE REPORT IN PROPER FORUM POST. I CAN HELP ABOUT INSTALLATION ONLY.
Ah, and there is few screenshots i'll share (Pixel Experience 9.0):

Since i did not have any problems about lag or freeze dont need to flash it. Though im not sure about VoLTE but it seems broken for me too. I still wait for official or unofficial Pie ports (which even redmi 2 and 3 got)

Any other bug or issue that you've found in the ROM? Camera problems? Bluetooth or Wifi's MAC changing or reverting to 00:00:00...? Battery drains, memory leaks, crashes? GPS problems? anything?

In few hours of usage i did not encountered very-serious level bugs. Battery was fine and didn't seemed like to draining. Bluetooth and WiFi had no issues for me either. Only VoLTE doesnt works and as may you know thats global issue on it. Did not faced any mem-leaks or running out of memory problems, with freshest install it used up to 1.3 GB mem and with some apps like social ones it went up to 1.6 to 1.9 GB but ROM was overall butter smooth without single lag or freeze. No FCs either, GPS works i guess it was enabled by default on fresh install as usual but since im not using the GPS that much i did not tested it fully though.
As you can guess those are still experimental/beta builds could have issues that i did not encounter. But overall was very fine for me. I'd keep it but it kinda messed "about phone" settings as it goes manufacturer and model both goes by unknown or phh-treble. It's very natural since i installed as GSI image but still bothered me.
Almost forgot; In Havoc OS settings goes direct crash if you touch battery in settings. PE works fine but it has problems with Dark theme beign not applied correctly. Also i did not used or tried substratum or its themes.
Thank you for your instructions. I wanted to install a GSI 9.0 ROM since Pie came out, but other threads with instructions were too complex or convoluted that I thought it was harder.
I would like to make some clarifications on your steps:
* I used the unofficial PixelExperience 9.0 GSI image, as you said. It feels and behaves almost exactly as the official PixelExperience build for our device, but with nicer interface. The image is HERE. Just as a sidenote, the System image comes with DPI = 360, things look a bit too big. To make it look like MIUI or the official PixelExperience build for vince, a dpi of 390 should be set (this can be done from settings > System > Developer Settings > Minimal Width, under the "draw" section).
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
* At this step, I had to make "Format Data", and only then reboot to recovery again, and make the wipes to all other partitions. Without rebooting the wipes weren't possible (it was showing errors while trying to mount partitions). VENDOR PARTITION SHOULD NOT BE WIPED
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
At this point, you must check that the hardware works correctly. Touch, screen, audio, BT, wifi, RIL, LTE or whatever you use. If something doesn't work at this point, it won't work after installing the GSI image.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
* In OrangeFox, at this point before flashing the GSI's .img file, the recovery asks for the type of image. For noobs and careful people, "System Image" must be selected before proceeding.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
* When installing Magisk through recovery, the framework will be installed, but the APK won't appear in the app list. It must be downloaded separately from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.0/MagiskManager-v6.0.0.apk
The following modules are working without issues in my setup:
* Youtube Vanced
* Google Product Sans font
* MagiskHide Props Config
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
Cast and mirror screen are broken. After choosing a screen to share the phone's screen to, SystemUI will crash. Apps with cast capabilites won't detect Chromecast devices (the cast button won't appear).
Thank you for your help

I don't know what is "MagiskHide Props Config" but is MagiskHide working normally for you?
I'm currently using the Pie "V4 zip" from this thread but MagiskHide isn't working. If it is working normally for you I will try to flash in your way then.
And can I flash 9.0 GSI image over any 8.x roms? Or it must be PE or Havoc?
Can't Show the Image File
After extracting the Hovac OS GSI file (a link that given) can not show Image file it shows file different files in different formats.

This is the correct link, you don't downloaded gsi file (I did the same thing, currently running Havoc 9 ):

sadly i can't flash pie rom because my phone is encrypted. i will try this someday, once i backup my files and do the full format (including internal storage)
i want to try PE pie
Biggest thanks to you as i was in dilemma to try the PE 9.0.
However, the stock camera is so dark so i installed Camera2API, resulting the camera app FC, installed the crashfix Gcam apk i found somewhere in this thread not so long ago to no avail, the camera is still broken. Anyone having the issue ?
TIPS: I tried both Dark Ages and Genom Kernel, the brightness is crazy, i think its the late display driver provided within it: the brightness level is scaled incorrectly, with the 50% on MIUI is 0% in PE, and 50% in PE is equal to 100% of MIUI (the max brightness is at 50% and sliding all over to the right does nothing); clean flashed the whole thing and not using custom-installed kernel at all.

MagiskHide Props Config" its a module that replaces the ROM's fingerprint with a certified one. This way you get ctsProfile: true and basicIntegrity: true, thus passing SafetyNet. This combined with MagiskHide allows me to use some apps that rely on SafetyNet.
After flashing the Treble-enabling ROM (Cardinal OS) you can install GSI system images based on Oreo or Pie.

seems like i need to do a format data in recovery. but right now i cant afford to loose all my files in internal storage. once i back up all my file then i will do the format data.
i wish there is some way to decrypt my storage without formatting
btw, i got my storage encrypted because i flashed miui stable rom
it's work but hotspot doesn't work
in cadinal i already check it's work but in gsi have a problem
And.. what If I installed a Treble ROM and I want to go back to stock MIUI, or a non-treble ROM? What should I wipe before going back?

[ROM][9.0][UNOFFICIAL] XenonHD

Another nice (treble) ROM for Oneplus5 (cheeseburger).
No fancy intro, no long list of features...just try it for a couple of days and if you don't like it - toss it and restore your previous rom!
ROM: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603857500
built using
- ROM source: https://github.com/TeamHorizon
- Krieg kernel: https://github.com/Krieg-Kernel
- GZOSP: https://github.com/GZOSP-Devices
It's still in its early 9.0 stage, not many settings are implemented yet. I can only promise to post a fresh build as the dev.team adds new features.
Tried & tested on my own OP5 (decrypted) after having installed OB19 firmware (tried also 5.1.5 and it's ok, too).
IF YOUR device satisfies those conditions then, installation is straightforward:
1. In TWRP wipe dalvik/cache/system/data/vendor
2. In TWRP -> install ROM and (if you wish) opengapps/magisk
3. add noverity
4. flash
5. reboot
6. enjoy your new ROM
sha fa !chinese man will try

Excellent new rom and like the mantainer (you other roms)
All is fine, there already all the stuff for a daily usage, really (AOD, AudioFX, QS Columns/Rows numbers, etc)
Just a little thing for me is essential for keep this rom :
- Disable / Enable HW Buttons & Backlight
- Button Mapper
Good job mate, for sure i will try the others builds
Hello
It's looking a good base with stable kernel, but need to fix :
- battery menu crashes
- no traffic in/out visible after activation
- notification slider button on side left are not working
Can you check?
Thanks
Try
I'd try it later.

The ones that are selected as default are enough. I have the latest twrp from codeworx and on backup, the selected partitions are: boot/system/data. In previous versions of twrp (from codeworkx) there was also vendor partition. Here's also a pic of my twrp screen when i do backup.

Yes it's the vendor partition that's a grey area for me. As I know the vendor partition is for treble enabled roms (I believe).
So if I was to backup Boot, System and Data (like your photo), then backed that backup to a PC (not forgetting the contents of the SD card folder), did a Format data, flashed a new rom and disliked it (as I do flashing between roms). All I would need to do it copy the TWRP backup back onto the phone, and restore that backup via the TWRP. I know it's pretty simple, but always best to be sure.

You dont have to format data if switching between custom roms. Do a backup of your current rom (if your twrp version has also a "vendor" partition selected then leave that, too). Then just follow the standard procedure: wipe system/data/cache/dalvik, flash the new rom and your twrp backup(s) will still be there. But if you FORMAT data, as you said, then of course you need to first save the twrp backups to your pc.

Hi, i try use R10 Stable version, and there is no Format Data option.
I check on Manage Partition (that mentioned on Wipe section), no Format Data option.
I like this recovery, cute Fox.

It should, try it. Don't have this device on hands so can't test.
I have a question is that can I delete these files on the fox folder (it's 3GB) . Also I don't want the orange fox to install my miui updates, I just want my system updater to do it even if it means removing the orange fox, it's still ok.. can I do this?
The beta version of this recovery shows SD card and USB storage 0 mb and thus we can't access them from recovery nor we can mount them (this problem is in beta version only)
I flashed stable version of this recovery but touch was not responding, not even a bit..... then i installed beta version and touch worked, but whenever i tried to install lineage os 16.0 , it shows error 255 ..... i also tried twrp 3.2.1.0 earlier but touch was not responding there as well....nor was otg mouse.... i flashed twrp 3.3.1.0 as well and there otg was working fine but even after installing the rom amd booting up, touch was irresponsive help!!

Try this recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-s2/development/arm64-twrp-v3-3-1-0-redmi-s2-y2-t3954150
For me it's working fine
i already mentioned , i had tried 3.3.1.0 ..... by the way my issue was resolved by the service centre and for free (under warranty ) i just cleared everything , installed original rom locked the bootloader and went straight in stating that touch became irresponsive after update .... also i would like to update that , i tried pitch black , orange fox stable plus beta , twrp 3.3.1.0,3.2.1.0 and at last flashed stock fastboot rom using mi flash tool as well but failed to solve the problem then ..... I'd 2 phones that made it easy for me
This is really nice, Thanks devs
I can't decrypt the data partition. I'm trying for hours to find an answer. Can anyone please help me? Lock screen password doesn't work.

Go to wipe and click on format data then enter yes and swipe the slider it will format your internal and your encryption will remove

Thanks for the answer, my friend. I really appreciate it. I've already solved this problem.
The thing was that after I format data and rebooted to system it kept encrypting it again. For some people rebooting to recovery again and flashing magisk from an SD card worked. For me it didn't. So I tried again but wiping data, cache, and system and flashing another ROM.
Hi,
I'm actually considering buying the Xiaomi Redmi S2 and I have some questions regarding the device and this recovery.
1. Would you recommend the S2 in 2019/2020
2. Is Treble TWRP required to use treble ROMs or can I install this directly and also use treble ROMs.
3. Any recommended tweaks for this device.
4. What configuration of RAM and Storage would you recommend? (I only found 3GB RAM and 32GB Storage versions)
5. Expandable Storage? (microSD)
6. Any bugs with treble in general or specific treble ROMs?
7. Anything to look for when buying this device used?
Kind Regards

Don't use TWRP, use SHRP instead.

SHRP is based on TWRP, its officially supported unlike TWRP, has some more features and a better UI.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/shrp/files/merlin/SHRP_v3.1_stable-Official_merlin-1628943443.img/download
installation is same as TWRP
fastboot flash recovery SHRP_v3.1_stable-Official_merlin-1628943443.img (you can rename the file to SHRP.img and just type that in, its easier)
I flashed SHRP almost and from my perspective, there are still some bugs like the flashlight not working or the Themes options broken.
And speaking about the Backing up and Restoring functions, only the Backup works.
I have successfully rooted my RN9 without any problems. I forgot to clear the Dalvik on the first time and had to perform a Data wipe. After fixing my mistake, everything worked as it should.
I immediately flashed a custom ROM (Project Elixir) and it's excellent!
Make sure you install the Magisk first, so the recovery won't get replaced by a Pixel Experience one.
In the tweaks, use the "MIUI anti-replace recovery" feature which flashes the recovery, if using MIUI.
Also, if you plan to use the SHRP's included Magisk v23, make sure you wipe the Dalvik after an installation as it doesn't do it for you automatically.
So, my conclusion: I definitely recommend it as it's easy to use even though It has some bugs that will get fixed soon.
