Twrp replaced by stock recovery - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

So i unlock and install twrp on my xiaomi redmi note 5 pro, twrp works fine on my device nothing wrong with it, but the next day when i try to open it instead of opening twrp but it's directing me to mi recovery (stock recovery), and i tried to re install twrp again on my device i thought the issues gone, well it works for few times, but later when i came back to twrp it directing me to mi recovery again, I don't know what to do, is there any solution for this? Or i should boot manually on my pc everytime i want to open twrp? Any answers will be appreciated.

Had the same issue. When you flash recovery, boot back into recovery and than flash lazyflasher.zip. The recovery won't be replaced with stock recovery. I even mentioned about it when I faced same issue. Check my old post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76939231&postcount=125

That's because of anti-rollback feature.
In July MiUi was released with anti roll back feature, which prohibits to go back to previous versions of MiUi.
However your problem can be solved with these steps.
1) Download "twrp.img" in RN5P and PC both.
2) Boot into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC.
3) Browse the folder where you have "twrp.img" in PC, and flash it,(I hope you know, how to do that.).
4) Boot into twrp by command "fastboot boot twrp.img" (in Linux use "sudo" before above command incase of permission deficiency)
5) Now your phone will boot into Twrp recovery. Here click on install.
6) In lower right corner you'll see "Install image" button. Click on that. Now browse to the folder you have stored "Twrp.img" in your phone. Install it, select "Recovery" when asked.
That's it. It will be installed permanently untill you reflash any MiUi ROM further after.

I cam confirm that doing step 6 will prevent stock recovery (MIUI) from replacing TWRP.
Another way will be to flash lazyflasher if I'm not wrong but I never have to do it.

Can this work when official ROM is intalled?
is this normal after flashin the twrp ?

No,you didn't make the correct actions and twrp got replaced by stock.Do it again and be sure to make all actions.(Including dumb file etc)

After installing recovery, flash magisk,that's all

copy the twrp .img file in to phone's sd card
boot recovery via fastboot from pc
using cmd
fastboot boot filename.img
after the boot from pc it enters twrp ,then also flash the twrp .img from sd card
thats all

Guys after a little research I figured out that thing at the photo is redmi's 4 series control panel and when I choose the recovery option, it normally enters in TWRP. So after all , I'm good . [emoji868][emoji1690]

guys, i cant see the recovery partition in the list of "select which partition to flash to" when trying to flash twrp. All that's there are: boot, dtbo, vendor image, system image, boot logo, vbmeta partitions only

Pixel xl in twrp with no OS installed?

Hello to all. I have just unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and su. After everything booted up properly, I went to install an adblocker zip file, however once it booted into twrp it had no download folder, as well as when I went to reboot system it told me I had no os installed.. I'm a bit confused as to what to do now.. My apologies for clogging the thread if this has been answered before..
Edit: do I adb side load an image file or OS? I'm afraid of bricking this phone as I don't know how to continue from this point..

Hi thanks for the reply. This link right here:
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/11/...timate-guide-root-twrp-and-bootloader-unlock/
Steps I followed:
1 unlocked bootloader
2 Download the below files TWRP and Root files for Google Pixel & Pixel XL
Official TWRP for Pixel phones → Download |
Files: twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.0.2-0-alpha1.zip 7.6M
twrp-3.0.2-0-alpha1-fastboot-sailfish.img 25M
Flash SuperSU 2.78 SRF4 → Download | File: SR4-SuperSU-v2.78-SR4-20161115184928.zip
Twrp install instructions:
Step 1: Download the TWRP recovery and latest SuperSU zip file for your Google Pixel and Pixel XL devices. There are 2 TWRP files with .zip and .img extensions. You will need both. You don’t need to extract the files, just place all the files on your PC as well as your Android phone’s internal storage where you can easily locate it.
Step 2: Make sure that you setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC and gone through all the prerequisites from above.
Step 3: Now plug in the Pixel device to the computer and open a command prompt or terminal on your PC to the window where TWRP.zip file is located. (See above to know how to open cmd)
Step 4: Boot your Android device into the bootloader or Fastboot mode. To do so, issue the following command through cmd or terminal. You can also manually boot into it using the hard key combination like Power+Volume Down while the device is turned off. Meanwhile, use code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Step 5: Now issue the following command in the command prompt to check your device connectivity
fastboot devices
Step 6: Now issue the following command to temporarily boot up the TWRP image.
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
Note: If you have installed our recommend quick 15 second ADB & fastboot installer, you do not need to insert the complete file path. Simply go to where the TWRP image file is and issue command “fastboot boot twrp.img” Otherwise, note that “path/to/” is the actual directory for the TWRP image file. Use fastboot boot and not fastboot flash and that the file you are booting is not the zip file.
Simply After that, TWRP will be accessible to you no matter which active partition slots are being used.
Step 7: After that fastboot command, you will be rebooted into a temporary TWRP recovery interface. To make it permanent, use the TWRP interface to navigate to and install the TWRP.zip file. This is just like using TWRP to flash custom ROMS and SuperSU.
Once the installation completes, you can now enjoy your new firmware. Alternatively, while, on Mac OS, you can issue “./fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img” command or on Linux type “sudo fastboot path/to/twrp.img” to flash the TWRP. For detailed tutorial and alternate methods to flash the TWRP recovery, click here.
Now it’s time to root your Google Pixel with latest SuperSU 2.78 SR4.
How to root :
Place the latest SuperSU 2.78 SR4 package onto your device’s internal storage or SDcard.
Boot your device into the custom TWRP recovery and tap install. For that, turn off your device completely and hold volume down and power buttons for a few seconds.
Once into TWRP tap the install button and select the SuperSU file.
Swipe the confirmation action below to start flashing.
Once done. reboot to system.
You can boot into the TWRP recovery by issuing the following command:
adb reboot recovery
There is an alpha 2 for twrp now. I would try installing this and seeing if it works. If not, you can simply flash the latest factory image and "start over". Granted you would lose any data that you might have had not backed up on your device, but youre not out of luck!
I wouldn't waste your time. Just flash the factory image and start all over. You managed to wipe the Rom off your device

Thanks guys, I actually have installed the alpha 2 twrp. I guess my question is how do I proceed? I'm in twrp and my PC does not see the device when typing adb devices.. Within twrp it says no os installed... What do I do here?
So how do I "start over" or "flash factory image" from the state that I'm in?

Off the top of my head... Probably selected the wrong "slot" maybe?
Remember on this device there are two locations for the ROM. Slot A and B. If you select the wrong one it will show no OS.
As far as the download folder missing... I know its mute at this point, but that has to do with the FBE (File Based Encryption). Make sure TWRP asks you for your Pattern Password. If you do not have one I would consider setting one. That way you know for fact that the File system will get decrypted properly. Also reports say you may have to reboot TWRP twice to get it to decrypt as well.

Flashed wrong kernel.

I flashed a wrong boot.img in my honor 7x (BND Al-10) using fastboot and since then, even TWRP isn't accessable. I flashed it, thinking the ROM I'm installed doesn't have anything for the boot partition and that's why isn't booting it (Not even showing up the boot animation). I was running on EMUI 8 earlier and shows an exclaimination mark upon trying to access TWRP (With options at the bottom). Fastboot and stock recovery are still accessable. How to revive this thing now? I've tried various methods, but all of them require TWRP.
Follow this post..https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...pment/oreo-twrp-complete-backup-t3764500/amp/
In short
1. Downlod the two files in that post
2. Connec mobile to PC. Enable usb deuging
3. Install ADB in PC.
4. Copy the two twrp files into the adbfolder.
5. Flash twrp img mount and then flash twrp complete backup
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk file 1
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk fle 2
6. Reboot
To enter twrp..press power plus volumeup onstartup
I made the mistake of leaving the usb lead plugged in when rebooting to recovery, it will not you into emui Erecovery
If you can get into fastboot it's fixable

Mine is fixed! Just download service ROM for honor 7x. Extract the zip and copy the update.app file ''to your phone's SD Card!'' create a folder named 'dload' and put that file in it.
Shut down your device, remove any sort of USB. Press all three buttons. It'll install the stock EMUI.

ROM installation failure : Encrypted file PARADOX

I have managed till installing twrp, however it seems like all the downloaded rom files and decrypt.zip are encrypted. I tried to copy 'em to the internal storage again but as I boot to twrp it again goes to encrypted mode. In Twrp, I tried to enable the MTP and copy files directly but it always fails. How do I go from here?? Please help!
Phone : MI mix 2

orange twrp ? could you tell me where can I get it?
My 2 cents:
If you can still boot whatever OS you have right now, back up things you need (including internal storage), then format /data. Reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want, optionally DecScript to switch to unencrypted data after next boot. OrangeFox recovery is not necessary but its UI could be seen as intuitive to some.

I can boot in Twrp and Miui10 OS too. I want to install custom rom, but the rom.zip files turns out encrypted when booting up in Twrp. while being in Twrp I tried to transfer " unencrypted rom.zip " files in my PC to internal storage to flash it but I can't transfer it even after enabling MTp in Twrp.
How do I install the rom is my problem. Shall I wipe data, cache? and then how?

So you're seeing the storage as encrypted (garbled content)? I never actually used encrypted data so I don't know for sure, but Wight's TWRP might not be able to decrypt MIUI's /data, so IMO you do need to format (not wipe) /data. You might also need to reboot to recovery once after that, so that the storage is recognized properly by PC.

Boot into TWRP and select Wipe and then Select the Format Data button.
Make sure you're not sliding to factory reset or advance wiping.
NOTE: This will erase all the information from the phone including internal storage. Make a backup prior this process.
After you're done, you can connect the phone to a PC while on TWRP to copy the rom zip files to internal storage and flash them. A backup from TWRP is highly recommended just in case.

1- There are multiples ways to reboot to recovery:
Buttons combination: Turn the phone off and press Power + Volume Down and it will boot to recovery.
Apps (root required): There are multiples apps that has a option to reboot to recovery directly. Search something like advance reboot on Play Store.
adb (USB debugging required): Running the command "adb reboot recovery" from terminal will reboot the phone into recovery.
2- To flash magisk, first flash the rom and gapps and reboot to system, finish the initial setup and then reboot to recovery and flash the magisk zip file. Next reboot will take a few minutes.
Edit: The universal decrypt file is not necessary since the data partition is no longer encrypted.

Yes i agree. The thing is Mi has its own recovery, thats preventing me from going to twrp directly, (even though) twrp is properly installed. if i press the button combination it will go to the "Miui inbuilt recovery" Not to twrp. so i go the fastboot mode and boot to Twrp recovery thru adb command. If only I could suppress inbuilt recovery and boot to twrp recovery it would be great. Apps like "boot to recovery" only initiate booting in recovery. It fails to choose Twrp because there are two recovery inside.
In my previous devices, honor 8pro n Samsung 8+ this wasnt an issue. But with Mi phone...
Does yours boots to Twrp directly with the button combination?

That's means that the TWRP recovery is not installed, there's is just one recovery partition and only one can be installed at the same time.
From fastboot mode run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
That will replace the stock recovery and you will be able to boot to twrp with the button combination and any other app running the reboot recovery command.

Just remove lockscreen protection before rebooting into recovery. You will be fine. Do this before everytime you want something done in TWRP. You won't have to format DATA partition everytime. TWRP will decrypt with default password and you'll be good. I have moved between MIUI 10 and pie roms without trouble this way.

You can just use power + volume up combo to get into TWRP recovery. You don't basically need to fastboot for recovery after it's installed.

Wiped everything using TWRP and need help restoring.

Hi.
So I was messing around with the twrp custom recovery and (without thinking much of it) wiped everything in the advanced wipe menu :crying: (System, data, EVERYTHING)
I knew I had removed my OS and that I could just use the twrp recovery to install a new rom onto my phone BUT little did I know, when I tried to boot into the custom recovery, it would just loop the screen with the redmi logo
I am still able to boot into fastboot mode, and I have tried to flash the same twrp recovery but with no avail (It still loops the redmi logo screen)
So now I'm here to ask if there is any advice that you could give me to try and fix this problem that I have gotten myself in (I am not worried about deleting any of my personal files. I would just like to get twrp to boot so that I can install another rom)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this problem :highfive:
Hi, which rom are you trying to install? for android 9 use this recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-recovery-redmi-t4002397, for android 10 this one... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82062075&postcount=7...
If what nuvulet said doesn't work, in fastboot, flash the exact same stock ROM you had before, let it boot and then flash TWRP.

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
The stock android I had before I wiped everything was android 9, MIUI 11. I tried againt to flash the recovery through fast boot but (like before) when I try to boot into the recovery (by holding the volume up button as it reboots), the redmi logo keeps appearing and disappearing and doesn't go to the twrp recovery. At the current moment I don't have any OS installed (since it got deleted when I wiped everything)
Any other leads I could try?

If what nuvulet said doesn't work, in fastboot, flash the exact same stock ROM you had before, let it boot and then flash TWRP.

I'm not sure how I can flash the stock ROM without the twrp recovery. I had the impression that you needed twrp recovery in order to install ROMs in the first place.
If there is a method to flash a ROM using fastboot, please explain since my unexperienced self has no idea how to do this. :laugh:
Thanks for the fast reply too

MiFlash works through fastboot mode. It's also safer to flash with MiFlash, just make sure you have the correct ROM.
I can't find the guide right now, I'm at work

Yes, this is the method I used to flash the twrp recovery.
My problem was that even after installing it (using this method), i would still not be able to boot into the recovery.
However, it is fixed now. I used the Mi Flash tool in order to install the stock rom and then installed twrp after that. :good:

I tried this method and IT WORKED!!
After installing Mi flash I was able to download the stock rom and install it through the program without any errors.
I was then able to finally boot into the OS and install twrp recovery, then install the custom rom! :laugh:
Thanks for this method. I would probably still be stuck on the Redmi logo if it weren't for this

Question Hard brick Poco f3 no recovery

Hello community, first of all I clarify that I am using the google translator.
As the title says, my poco f3 has a hard brick, I was trying to flash the miui global rom via fastboot(stock rom was global miui for turkey) but an error occurred in the process (the same as attached in the image), at that moment I got scared because the phone did not start the system.
The bootloader was obviously unlocked, I tried to recover with XiaoMitool but nothing, I couldn't flash super.img either in Xiaomiflash, then I decided to download its stock rom and redo the process but it failed.
Before all this I had tried to install TWRP or OrangeFox but none could be installed, I only got to the TWRP boot but the option to flash the current TWRP did not appear and it did not recognize the internal memory and the OTG with the zip. Right now it only shows the POCO logo and goes directly to fastboot mode.
I'd appreciate your help.
Edit: It does not have the recovery stock

try booting twrp via fastboot and then format data.
Obviously you'll lose your data, but it might give you access to your phone back.
Good morning.
Try to enter with quiet fastboot mode, both in twrp and orange fox, it's the same process. Put the phone in fastboot mode and then open minimal adb.
1. Put the fastboot devices command, the serial number of your mobile should appear on the command screen.
2. Put the command fastboot boot orangefox.img or twrp.img, take a good look at the file you have downloaded, to make the boot easy, it has to be an .img image and not a zip file.
3. If you can get into both fastboot and orangefox, please format the data.
4. Try to flash the miui stock rom with the same process where the error appeared, remember that this rom (it worked for me) has to be the rom for the poco f3 fastboot, since there are 2 versions (I think I have seen this) one which is fastboot and another which is not.
LUCK!

Hello, i had already tried to boot with twrp.img but without success, the good news is that I have already recovered it and the solution was as simple as taking the flash_all.bat from the rom and it could already be in any version of miui.
What I don't understand is why it hadn't worked with XiaoMitool and Xiaomiflash, and I still can't install TWRP because it doesn't recognize internal memory and OTG.
Anyway thanks for your help.

Glad you got it sorted, When installing a MIUI stock rom remember to put the Firm wear folder on your C: Drive and remove any spaces from title,
As for TWRP & Orangefox recoverry, i installed these in fast boot mode and use "Temporary Recovery" by downloading RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat /unzipping/ and running the "RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat File, once in temporary OF Recovery you can choose to make OF Recovery permanent by installing current version of OF from within OF, Check my post on the EVO-X Thread post 20,
you will also find my post regarding OTG issues,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTG is no longer Now working with Orangefox recovery.
To overcome the OTG showing 0MB or .., remove the OTG adaptor,
reboot into OF Recovery, re-connect your OTG adaptor and
tap ☰ in the bottom right of the main screen to open the MENU,
open Mount, tap USB-STORAGE (wait 5 seconds) the (USB-STORAGE background will turn black), shortly after the check box will enabled, many thanks to Rafsf for the Workaround.
I hope this helps a bit
