Anyone wants to test multirom it seems to work fine for me so far. I've got my device encrypted and it seems to work fine still.

Add rom using MR menu in recovery.
In MR settings change brightness to 255.( Otherwise there is no boot screen)
ReBoot to system.
Select rom to boot
Bugs: make sure you set brightness to 255 in settings.
I've tested on my phone with live data and lost nothing.
I take no responsibility for anything that happens to yours if you test this.
This was based off the work done by Vasishath the Beryllium dev. I've used his multirom patches and changes so the credit for that goes to him. I've used his work and made it work on the Android 9.0 omnirom tree although its not finished yet as DRM is still f'd.
If sh1t goes south uninstall by using:

Also can the multi rom Manager app be used to boot into the other roms?(Tried it and says like Device not supported and stuff)
Edit: Tried and added a rom but the auto boot settings are a bit confusing as I can't seem to find the setting if I want to boot into the internal rom. It has options to boot into the last booted rom or one of the secondary rom that I have installed. No setting to boot into the internal rom
Edit 2: After rebooting into recovery it is now showing the option for both internal and the secondary rom. Although thebooting into secondary rom is giving problems at the moment as it is boot looping and went back into recovery
Edit 3: First tried installing citrus-caf rom which boot looped back into recovery. Next flashed PE rom and it booted and am currently setting it up.
Edit 4: Tried installing a secondary rom by restoring a backup and it also booted fine.
Edit 5: Made the mistake of updating the Magisk from the secondary rom which was restored from a previous backup and then none of the roms would boot and go to fastboot after a while of boot looping. Since you did not post an uninstaller for the Multirom, I downloaded the one from the Beryllium thread and removed the asserts line and removed the Multirom and again restored from a previous backup and was good to go.
Again went back and re-installed Multirom and added the latest PE build and set it up. So every thing is nice and dandy now.
Better post an un-installer for Multirom in this thread.
I am attaching the Uninstaller that I used here till you post one
Exciting stuff man. You are awesome dude

Thanks for the feedback and the link for the uninstaller.
:good:
Dear @infrag is there a possibility of getting haptic feedback in the twrp. Really miss that.
Otherwise everything else is working nicely.
Great work thanks for sharing,
Which kernel did you use?
Is it Pie?
So you are the guy I've been waiting for! Bravo Infrag, I was looking after this. I'm gonna try it right now. Thank you very much for putting your time on this.

I have Havoc and Syberia both of them Pie and everything seems to be fine.
All the kernels seem to work
I managed to run Havoc as internal + Syberia as secondary and China Developer as internal + Havoc as secondary. Plus Magisk 17.1 and Sphinx kernel in both cases and everything seems to be fine.
The only "problem" I'm facing is the impossibility to use lock protection in internal and secondary ROMs at the same time. Once I set a lock pattern for one of them I'm unable to pass through the lock security in the other, even being the same pattern. The only solution then is to flash a lock security remover zip but this makes impossible to set back a protection.
The other issue I'm facing is that Play Services FC in custom ROM but I have no clue about the reason, this is probably not related to the multirom, no idea.
Edit: Uninstalled Play Services with TiBu and installed a previous build from apkmirror, it got updated through Play Store and FC,s seem to have disappeared.
Anyway it's an excellent work and I rally thank you Infrag.
Thank you Infrag, I remember you from the good old leeco days lol. Glad to see a pro like You working on the mi8

for the pin problem i've restored my primary rom pin with in this way:
Using adb:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd /data/system
su
rm locksettings.*
adb reboot
then i've rebooted my internal rom, now without a pin protection, and i've set a new pin from settings

hi infrag, its seem if my primary rom is encrypted, it goes bootloop, after install secondary rom, but secondary rom is work fine..
Edit : apologize, its work now. multirom must be installed before encrypt process
I flashed the recovery img and installed the multirom.
I can add new roms with no problem.
When I reboot the phone it doesn't boot into any rom. It boots in my primary system.
In settings I can see only the roms I have installed, not the internal rom.
There is no error message, it just don't boots into the new roms.
Edit: I am trying to upload screenshots from my TWRP but I don't have permission in this forum. My TWRP version is 3.2.3.0

Maybe the no-vibrate problem has a similar ridiculously simple solution.
Another thing that I noticed was if I install a secondary rom by restoring a backup, it almost always bootloops to the fastboot mode. If you reflash the rom.zip after restoring from a backup, it boots normally.

Not tested on nougat.
I use adb and fastboot , twrp, supersu.
Files We need:
TWRP: It's bogus, in my phone the screen flips upsidedown: Connect a mouse thru female usb or try to figure out how to tap in a rotated screen with a non rotated touch panel.
TWRP Download -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0XMYw0cbs_cdm5FZW1DQXl4MFU/view
SuperSU file - > https://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip?retrieve_file=1
For ADB access thru MAC:
1.- First of all we have to get open USB debug mode to get adb acces to the phone by going to Settings -> About -> Software Information -> Tap 7 times over Build number.
2.- After we get Developer options available we have to put the phone on usb debugging by goig to "Settings-> Developer Options" Activate USB Debugging.
3.- Install android platform-tools on your PC/Linux/MAC , in my case had work on MAC and no devices acces thru ADB on PC :silly: .
platform-tools -> http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...ble-without-full-sdk-android-studio-download/
Here you have the 3 options to download ADB and FASTBOOT
4.- Connect your phone to the PC (USB) and copy SuperSu to the root of your phone, a place that its easy too acces, cause TWRP, for the moment flips the screen.
5.- Copy TWRP3.0.XXX.zip to the folder where you have platform-tools installed.
6.- Reboot your phone to bootloader and in Linux could work too:
./adb reboot bootloader [./ is placed cause I don't put platform-tools on the my PATH]
After the boot, then we have to boot on TWRP
./fastboot boot twrp-3.0xxxx.zip (you don't flash anything) If you want to flash TWRP, at your awn risk, ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0xxxx.zip".
Well, now you have to see TRWP on your phone screen.
My recomendation is to play a little bit with the flipped screen if you don't have a female USB to plug a mouse.
7.- Trying to make a complete backup of the phone could be a good practice to move on TWRP with the flipped screen . Tap backup option and make a Backup. Always recomended!
8.- After Backup, you can go to INSTALL SuperSU.zip file. "Install -> look for your SuperSU.zip file "
9.- Go to Playstore and install supersu app.
Now you can test your root, after reboot for example tryin to install some APP that requires root. Fast move:
./adb shell
su root
It has to appear a screen to grant root access to the phone.
10. Done!
Well I think thats my second post at all, hope can help someone to root the phone.
I placed In Questions and Answers cause XDA says want to protect us from SPAM.
Feel free to correct me anything.

You can also substitute Magisk instead of Supersu if you need to use any of the pay apps or have root sensitive apps...
Without the right Twrp, many benefits to rooting are missing such as removing stock rom applications. Seems without being able to boot to a recovery, even Titanium cannot remove apps because it needs to clean the dalvic.. Can't do it without a recovery

You should change your title !!
Tested on nougat.
The variant ZS550KL can be rooted with same method on latest firmware with nougat
Very nice guide, Thank you. Could you please provide updated links to both TWRP and SuperSU. I am currently using TWRP 3.1.1-0 and it functions properly after hanging for approximately 45 seconds on boot. This may be due to the fact my phone is encrypted. I initially rooted without installing TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) but have since flashed it. Both ways work well. The posted version of SuperSU did result in root but caused me to lose cell service! The phone could "see" the sim card but not use it. Updating to SuperSU 2.82 solved that issue. This was all done on my finally rooted ZenFone 3 Deluxe Special Edition (Z016D)!!!
I unfortunately figured something out the other day. Using TWRP 3.1.1-0 I am able to install zip files, complete wipes, make & restore backups. The issues only arise after you restore your nandroid image. Everything works except for two things.
1. The ability to hear audio during phone calls. The phone is actually able to place calls but you are unable to hear or record any phone audio. Oddly enough I was able to play music and use voice dictation. It was only in-call audio that seemed to be affected.
2. If you have a pin set when you create your nandroid image your pin will no longer work once restored. You will be locked out of your own phone!!
Fortunately both are fairly easily resolved and keep TWRP relatively useful, although a bit bothersome!
To resolve the pin issue it is necessary to use the TWRP file manager or ADB to delete 5 files (listed below) and regain entrance to your phone. Once deleted simply reboot the phone and reset your pin. If you remove your pin before creating a backup this issue is averted completely.
/data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key
/data/system/gatekeeper.password.key
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-wal
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
To re-enable call audio use TWRP (install zip) to reflash the same version firmware from the Asus website over your current install without wiping. This will restore any system apps you may have removed but you should still have root and can easily remove them again. There will be two errors when performing the flash, which is why I believe root is retained but the system image will be reflashed. Reboot and enjoy
I sincerely hope I have not caused anyone any issues! Or that someone else finds this information useful. I have tested everything in this post at least three times. All testing was done on the most recent Android 7 firmware on my ZenFone 3 Deluxe Special Edition (SnapDragon 821/6/256).

The second issue happens in all the phones/twrp.
It's possible to install the firmware from asus website with twrp?? To update i flash the stock recovery, install the firmware, then reflash twrp and supersu. Didn't know that! It updates successfully with twrp??
Thank you Ryder for confirming my suspicion that the pin issue may have been a more common one with TWRP. This is the first phone I actually cared enough about to use a pin. I was thrown for a loop when I first booted my fresh nandroid restore and the pin I know I've been using was incorrect!
As for installing firmware, with the two errors that occurred during I don't know that you would be able to do full scale upgrade to a higher version. To reinstall the system partition however it does seem to work quite well. I tested this part four times. To do so download the correct device/version firmware to the phones storage, click install, and select that file. After it completes I like to wipe both the cache and the dalvik cache before restarting the phone. The audio issue was unfortunately easily reproduced on my phone, but thankfully equally easy to resolve. This worked for me each time without fail.

You said that the two issues occurred when you restored the nandroid backup and to fix one of them by installing the zip firmware from asus website with twrp... I don't understand. I can install zip firmware with twrp or i have to flash the stock recovery and install with it? Errors may occur using the twrp? Sorry
Everything done in my post so far has been in TWRP. Honestly I didn't even back up the recovery image. TWRP seemed to work flawlessly so I bit bullet and flashed it.
On a sidenote I am currently testing the usability of FlahFire on this device. It appears to create a very nice fastboot installable recovery image! I have yet to restore the image however. I will post my findings here once I have thoroughly tested it.

Ok. I'm interested in flashing zip firmware to update. Never tried that. I thought that firmware can be installed only with stock recovery. The stock recovery can be downloaded in an asus forum website
This is the first time I have flashed anything in almost a year. I got to thinking and this is the most success I have had was flashing a stock image with TWRP! I doubt it will perform a full flash. I believe the errors are most likely for the boot and recovery partitions. As a save my butt reflash the system partition it does work. It sounds like it's time to find some TWRP changelogs!

I don't care about stock images... If i can't flash the zip with twrp to update successfully then i reflash the stock recovery and after the update root again with twrp and supersu. By the way, the zip firmare contains factory images? I thought it contains different kind of files

I lack the knowledge to answer that with enough certainty to even call it an answer! This is my foray into the insides of this phone and I don't want to start posting my hunches.
What I do know is you can flash the system partition using TWRP. I have done it several times. Asus's zips run as a script based zip install. You are offered no options during install. When the script runs you will see two errors quickly scroll past.

Are you creating these TWRP builds? If so thank you very much! TWRP-3.1.1-0-Z016-20170826 seems to work flawlessly! No lag on boot and no known issues after restoring a backup unlike before.
I wanted to post my finding about FlashFire by Chainfire. I have had great success with the fastboot backup! It is the only option I have tested extensively however. I have been running the same fastboot restored phone since soon after my last post on this topic with no issues discovered.

Okay thank you. If you happen to find out/remember please let me know. I would like to give credit with my project and thank them for their hard work.
Hello, I am in need of assistance on rooting/my pixel C device.
I was trying to follow the steps outlined in this webpage: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-t3307183/page27
The tablet by itself had 8.1 to start out.
The steps I did so far is
1. Successfully unlocked the bootloader (the 30 second boot time and the beeping noise)
2. Installed TWRP
3. Installed superSU via TWRP
4. flashed the AOSP kernel from this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-c/development/rom-t3569215
5. Upon system reboot, I noticed two issues:
Issue 1: The apps is pretty empty, including no google play store. I am guessing this was by design, to keep things simple. In addition, I think the original author was saying to install opengapps manually.
Issue 2: Every time I boot to system, I get the message "google connectivity service stopped" error in the beginning (that wording might not be precise). I was able to connect to wifi and bluetooth with no problem, but maybe the connectivity service is responsible for something else, and it is concerning.
6. Another thing I noticed is an issue is when I boot back into TWRP, my internal storage is 0mb. In research it sounds like I need to implement some sort of passcode, as it might be due to the internal storage being encrypted (although I didn't set up any manual encryption myself).
However, when I boot back into system and look, there is no way to set up a screen lock passcode. There is a method to encrpyt the tablet data, but I didn't pursue that, because it projected a long wait time. (If this will indeed fix the problem I will do so)
If I format data through the twrp system, the internal storage comes back.
7. Nonetheless, I was hoping I can still navigate through the system if I just install opengapps. Therefore, I went to opengapps.org, and chose the arm64, 7.1 stock file to download, as this was the default choice it offered (and I couldn't find 8.1- please let me know what the correct one to install is)
8. I then used adb sideload to install the gapps. (As I couldn't access the internal storage)
9. Now, when I try to reboot to system, the TWRP recovery keeps on coming up, every time. Essentially a TWRP bootloop.
My wish is to just get back to the stock 8.1 os with root. Even if I go through a format erase on twrp, the aosp design defaults. Maybe it isn't completely erased?
I have been working days and nights. Maybe it is because I am a novice and a total newb on the pixel C, but looking everywhere it shows similar yet different suggestions, and hasn't been giving me what I am looking for.
Any insight/advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for reading my long post.
I think I found the correct gapps just by a Google search. It is unfortunate that they're not just out there in plain view on the OpenGapps site. So you flashed the 7.1 apps, and did you get an error message while trying to flash them via TWRP?
To be quite honest, I had a lot of difficulty rooting and flashing a ROM on the Pixel C, myself. The process took me a couple days. I really had to play around with the drivers and the SDK...the latest wouldn't install to my computer unless I installed it using Android Studio. Once I finally had everything set up right, which I can't even remember how I had it set up, it worked. One ROM I flashed didn't boot, and the Lineage one did. Now, I'm on Resurrection Remix, my favorite ROM ever! Hope this helps!

Hi, I have a suggestion for ya, You can either flash your tablet with the stock rom : https://developers.google.com/android/images , change the recovery to twrp and root your system with supersu Or you can install lineage 15.1 (oreo) + opengapps oreo 8.1 + supersu/magisk15 don't forget to change the vendor image and the boot image also if you want to have access on your internal storage on twrp. Hope that it will help you.
Thanks guys. Since this time, I was able to try different things and was able to get things rooted and erased using a combination of twrp and the original stock rom.
However, during this process, the TWRP recovery was overwritten with the stock one, and when I try to re-flash the twrp recovery using adb (at the Fastboot, using command: Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img ), command line just stalls with no progress.
Has anybody else encountered this before? Any way to re-flash the twrp file? thanks in advance.
Dear every one, I really like this ROM, but how to flash this ROM?
I try to flash to use fastboot and TWRP with IMG flashIng, but after flashing them, the mobile phone will jump to Bootloader page, but when I use the same method in other ROM(like PHH and RR6.1.0)it works. My last ROM version is MIUI10-8.7.12 Globle.
details here
1.formate data
2.4 wipe
3.install and choose img file with system type.
4.wipe again
5.reboot
THanks.
If supported you can flash the image in bootloader mode.
Type in this command.
fastboot flash system nameofimage.img and reboot.
PE just wont boot for some devices. There is a whole different thread about fixing this, it may be for Huawei, but it could work for more devices. Apparently flashing a patched boot from Magisk works.
flash magisk 16.6 it will boot. but then you will have to also format data(not wipe) in twrp to disable encryption.
It finally works!
The steps I took to get it working are the following:
1. Boot to TWRP (I used version 3.2.0.1/v5 from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/development/recovery-twrp-mix-2s-t3790922
2. Format data, confirm with "yes"
3. Wipe data, system, cache, dalvik
4. Install latest Pixel Experince.img (GSI) from the thread on XDA
5. Flash magisk 16.6 directly after the image. Didn't do a reboot before flashing magisk
6. Rebooted system
7. Got many warnings that the device is not Google certified. Search for this terms and you'll find a tutorial to get rid of the messages. Simply downloaded the "device+ID.apk" from XDA and installed it. Wrote down the GSF ID and visited the mentioned page and got my device registered. Warnings are gone, play services are running perfectly fine. Here's the link to the article https://www.google.at/amp/s/www.xda...fix-device-not-certified-by-google-error/amp/
8. Rebooted system again
Works like a charm. Got everything set up to my needs. Only thing I had to configure was the navigation bar as it was hidden from the beginning. Just opened settings and toggled the navigation bar settings from one setting to the other and it appeared.
Will definitely be my daily driver from no on. Finally we can have a "Pixel" for half the price!
I'm so happy right now. Thanks to all the people who supported me and answered all my questions!

didnt worked for me rebooted into recovery i used 3.2.1-0 can you link me yours?
From this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/development/recovery-twrp-mix-2s-t3790922
I used version 5 because in version 6 usb MTP mode is disabled.
Which rom did you come from? I came from a working official resurrection remix gsi. But I don't know if this matters as you wipe everything from the device.
Have you ever had a treble gsi running on your device? I remember installing RR after the android P beta from Xiaomi failed. I then started from scratch and installed the latest official global stable miui rom for the MiMix2S from Xiaomi without magisk and all and went from there. Don't know why but this fixed the problem with the RR gsi.
Maybe theres a problem with older mods you have done. You could try and start from zero and get the device back into the original state.
Hope it works out for you! Let us know how it turned out. Could be anyone else has some more input for you.
I know it's frustrating to flash a rom that works for others and not on your device although you have the same as them and followed every step in the tutorial. I've been there so many times that I lost count but it's always the little things that cause problems. Take your time, read some more about this whole stuff. I had to read a lot to get into this topic. Maybe theres a nother method of flashing that works for you.

Very good, great it works for you now.
Enjoy the new phone! I have it running for a few days now and so far I love it! I'm never going back to miui again! Never!
Some things are not working at the moment like Bluetooth audio to car stereo. Although it shows the song playing with the title and the correct time on the car head unit I hear no sound. Hands free calls work without any problems.
In band ringing doesn't work so I don't hear my ringtone over the car stereo. I can activate this in developer options but it doesn't stay on and doesn't work. Nevermind, this isn't important.
Haven't found many other things that I need at the moment.
Great rom, hope it gets maintained in the future and there will be a device specific rom for the MiMix2S in the near future.
Hopefully Android P in fall/winter?

Thanks for sharing so much...but I wanna know flashing Magisk 16.6 is significant or not? Why should I must flash that..caz I use bank App which is not allowed root device..Oh, I try to flash Omin ROM, but it can't get into the system..and Magisk16.6 can't be flashed in with error..

Magisk was mandatory for me because otherwise it ended up booting only to recovery.
I haven't tried what happens when you uninstall magisk after successfully setting up the device.
If you need to hide root use magisk hide, maybe that helps?
First, let me say I have been using rooted phones with twrp for several years and never had the slightest problem with them, so I generally know what I am doing, but the Mi A2 Lite is just a disaster area for me, not with Magisk, that works fine, but twrp seems impossible for me to install on 10.0.3.0 without soft bricking ( I had twrp installed on 10.0.2.0 and 10.0.1.0 so I am not unfamiliar with the method, but on 10.0.3.0 - no way). I have done so many factory resets now I have my own parking space at the factory! (That is humour btw).
So I wondered if a different approach to the problem might work. I am not a coder or phone guru, so what I propose might be nonsense, if it is I am sure somebody will tell me.
We are all used to the concept of the 'patched_boot.img' created by Magisk and if you don't want to produce your own version the forum usually has a link to it. Magisk though is not the problem, twrp is, so what I am proposing is that somebody provides a link to a 'double_patched_boot.img' ie a flashable boot image that contains both twrp and magisk and that can directly replace the stock boot via fastboot.
Apparently there are some folks that have managed to install both twrp and magisk on 10.0.3.0, so if one of them could extract the 'double_patched_boot.img' from their phone it might help out a lot. How do you achieve that? Well there is probably more than one way, but the way that I would choose (if I could manage to install them both in the first place) is to boot into twrp, connect to pc, take a miflash backup of the phone and then unzip it with the following command (this is a linux command I am sure someone can provide a windows equivalent):
Code:
tar -xzf ********.tgz
where ********.tgz is the name of your miflash backup.
Then extract the boot.img from the resulting folder, rename it to something like 'double_patched_boot_10.0.3.0.img' and provide a link to it on the forum. Then some brave soul could try it out (probably not me as I am sick of doing factory resets and don't have any backups because I don't have any recovery to make them from).
OTOH this might just not be practical, I don't know enough to be sure.
i was having similar issues. replaced my mi a2 lite and followed the guide for the aosp 109 gsi here in the forum replacing the fstab and one other file i forgot they name but it's instructed. i have twrp zero the fixed one, magisk, and I'm running the RR PIE ROM with zero issues and I've been back and forth in and out of recovery no problem. I'm pretty sure it will work for you too.

Interesting. I have certainly thought of jumping ship to a custom rom, but I would like to wait a little before I do so, ideally until someone fires up a Lineage rom for the A2 Lite. But if things continue as badly as they have done so far with stock roms then I might well join you on RR.

also because of the new ARB thing, custom is much safer, i think i bricked my last device rolling back from ota 9.0 software to ota 8.1. that's a non-issue with custom. just something to be wary of. the current RR pie gsi is near flawless for he so far. hope that helps a little

Anti roll back is disabled and not an issue if bootloader is unlocked
Nice thread. Tried it as well but no chance 10.0.3.00 + twrp + magisk. And you are right the problem is twrp.

correct it is not. what happened was.. lol. i thought i was crafty and did some file swapping and made miflash setups that would flash so the stock files as usual , but with gsi's like RR and/or bootleggers for the system image. and it works, up until i flashed from RR to bootleggers with those setups described previously . there is where my genius was flawed. lol. lesson learned

I don´t get your problems... Just boot twrp, and install it as described in original thread.
After that flash back aboot from 9.6.11.0 and the message "your system got destroyed" will disappear!

You might not get my problem, but likewise I don't get your solution. Firstly aboot has never been touched during the attempted twrp install so why flash it at all, it has not been changed, and secondly you suggest I flash it with something that is how many versions old 4?, 5?, I'm not sure, when just about every post you ever read stresses that you should not mix old and new partitions at the same time.
I hope you forgive my scepticism, but can you actually suggest the slightest reason why this might work?
Or is it all just voodoo johnny (sorry, couldn't resist that).

Aboot is the bootloader. Since Pie the aboot was modified to check wheather there are modification on your boot.img. So everytime you modify something (like installing twrp), you get the message "your system got destroyed".
9.6.11.0 is the last version of Oreo. Here the bootloader didn´t check boot.img.
That´s why you need to flash 9.6.11.0 - maybe the older verstions will work too. Didn´t check. But I guess only 9.6.11.0 will work becouse it was the latest oreo version and it had to have a bootloader which can boot up pie (to have ota working).
Here you can find the aboot.img I use... and which works without any problem on pie - right now I´m running 10.0.3.0...
Just flash it via fastboot.

OK that makes sense now - thank you for the explanation. I will probably give that a try sometime, but not right now as I have a stable working phone for the first time in ages and I don't want to jeopardise that.
Just one question though. When I had twrp installed on 10.0.2.0, it was fine at doing backups, but on the two occasions I tried to restore with them they failed, by which I don't mean that the restore didn't repair the phone, but that it was impossible to even carry out the restore, it started but did not complete - just ended with 'Restore Failed' message.
Have you tried any restores with twrp installed in the manner you suggest and if so did they work? No point in installing it otherwise.

There seems to be some bugs restoring system and vendor... Some users talked about... I usually only save and restore the data and boot partition and I never had any problems with that. For all other partitions you can use miflash or fastboot...
Yeah all my twrp full backups don't work after a fresh stock installment either, that's very annoying.
The twrp version for daisy is bugged. Backups are not working, the wifi with GSI Roms on pie stock is not working anymore as soon as twrp is installed as well.

Thanks for the replies above. @voodoojohnny
In my case it was the data partition that caused the restore to fail, vendor and system and boot all seemed to go through normally. @cd492
Based on what you say along with my own experiences and those of voovoojohnny, it looks like twrp is more trouble than it is worth at the moment. I think I will make do without it for now and hope for a better version in the future.

THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED ON GSI'S YET
I'm currently in the process of RR with TWRP but having extreme Encryption errors
Grab these two files (Big Thanks to Zerovoid, Seryioo, and mac12m99)
Fixed SDCard Support TWRP Image File (Put this on your SDCard and Computer)-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...unofficial-twrp-daisy-mount-sd-fixed-t3889390
Fixed SDCard Support TWRP Installer Zip (Put this on your SDCard)-
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603893418
But I got TWRP on 10.0.3.0 with magisk, and Justic Kernel.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE I'M DEFINITELY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST DATA
Start with the phone being on with USB Debugging enabled correctly
Type adb reboot bootloader
So flash the 10.0.3.0 ROM through MiFlash using the flash_all.bat, this process has to be done so backup your data before erasing.
After it is done flashing it restarts, go ahead and hold power and volume down right back to the Bootloader
Type: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-daisy_zero.img
It would boot into TWRP, if you see something about decryption hit cancel this may mean you haven't followed directions so far
Tap install and find your SD Card, find the fixed-twrp-installer-daisy.zip where ever you put it on your SD Card and install it, this process takes a few minutes when finished DO NOT HIT REBOOT SYSTEM!
Hit the home button back to TWRP home screen and tap reboot >>> bootloader
Download this to your computer - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603884024
Type: fastboot flash aboot aboot_9.6.4.img
Then type: fastboot reboot
Afterwards your phone shall boot up to Android if it does hold power and volume up and release power and keep hold volume up when the screen turns back on to go-to recovery, if TWRP boots up you have successfully completed the task.
Now flash Magisk zip (optional)
Hopefully this helped kind of my first tutorial, this was my process.

Yes I didn't see that post but understand I didn't give you links to the official TWRP, I gave you the unofficial fixed TWRP which actually features SD Card Support and trust me it works completely fine I haven't had a problem yet. This took me hours upon hours to figure out what I was doing wrong.
The only specific reason you are not successfully getting TWRP is because you didn't flash the aboot.img after installing the zip.
I hope this helps you in the future!
thanks InfinityXDA for the tutorial, you should create a post just for it~
Greetings!
An interesting and strange situation has appeared on the Poco F3.
Unlocked device, installed xiaomi.eu dev latest with their own TWRP, Magisk 25.2 (latest stable). I didn't install any DFE or other vbmeta etc patches.
After installing all this, after a couple of days of using the device, I get a bootloop (when I reboot the device it gets stuck on the MIUI logo), just with nothing. Before that, bootloop do not appear (I did a reboot on purpose and loaded into the system). Then, I thought the problem was in the recovery, I flashed orangefox - but the result is still the same. No any Magisk modules installed (specially tested without them). There is also a backup when everything works, it is restored, but it still does not load into the system, it just remains on the MIUI logo. In the recovery itself (what is skkk, what is ofox) is nothing red, without errors during firmware/actions. BTW, there is a problem on other ROMs based on MIUI: like Pulse, MiuiSR I tried to install on it.
I tried option to install a clean stock through miflash, and then put it through fastboot xiaomi.eu - but it also did not work.
I restored the backup when everything worked except for the data section and made data format, and only then it turned on according to the factory settings with the settings down. So the format data allows to revive it to the initial state, but this is not the way out.
On a local forum, I was told that this is some kind of problem with the encryption of the /data partition or android party rescue in recovery (red line) and it met on XDA, but no one found a clear solution.
Why does the bootloop appear only after some time (2-3 days)? This is some kind of hell and misunderstanding that this occurs specifically after a couple of days of using the device, and not right away. Where to dig and in what sequence? Thank you.

An interesting and strange situation has appeared on the Poco F3.
Unlocked device, installed xiaomi.eu dev latest with their own TWRP, Magisk 25.2 (latest stable). I didn't install any DFE or other vbmeta etc patches.
After installing all this, after a couple of days of using the device, I get a bootloop (when I reboot the device it gets stuck on the MIUI logo), just with nothing. Before that, bootloop do not appear (I did a reboot on purpose and loaded into the system). Then, I thought the problem was in the recovery, I flashed orangefox - but the result is still the same. No any Magisk modules installed (specially tested without them). There is also a backup when everything works, it is restored, but it still does not load into the system, it just remains on the MIUI logo. In the recovery itself (what is skkk, what is ofox) is nothing red, without errors during firmware/actions. BTW, there is a problem on other ROMs based on MIUI: like Pulse, MiuiSR I tried to install on it.
I tried option to install a clean stock through miflash, and then put it through fastboot xiaomi.eu - but it also did not work.
I restored the backup when everything worked except for the data section and made data format, and only then it turned on according to the factory settings with the settings down. So the format data allows to revive it to the initial state, but this is not the way out.
On a local forum, I was told that this is some kind of problem with the encryption of the /data partition or android party rescue in recovery (red line) and it met on XDA, but no one found a clear solution.
Why does the bootloop appear only after some time (2-3 days)? This is some kind of hell and misunderstanding that this occurs specifically after a couple of days of using the device, and not right away. Where to dig and in what sequence? Thank you.

Hi,
What was meant and what is the meaning of your question?
Regards,

developers still improving f2fs file system. I could imagine it's some unpatched bug (without knowing exactly if there is one)

Hi, no idea but from some sources this indicates that the culprit is vbmeta when installing the initial twrp. But this is still being tested. A bug with a custom font in MIUI is also possible, many people know that this caused bootloops after a while in theme manager.
