Live l1 and lite l1 is a completely different devices

This TWRP actually partially works for Live L1 (ZA550KL, SD425). The problems are 1) it can't decrypt /data, 2) it fails to mount /xrom (which is inexistent on the Go variant) and 3) no ADB/MTP, but for flashing ROMs/addons, backing up and restoring, it works nicely. Just letting y'all know about it.

Can you link me to the one you know of? I just found another one from TWRP Builder, and it did fix most problems, but I still can't use decrypted data (shows "encryption unsuccessful" on boot). And it doesn't expose /vendor either which is a small letdown. <- Fixed by unpacking and editing recovery.fstab.

All I know there is no rom for this device as of now , if you flash a gsi , it. Will definitely show system image option , for now flash stock rom using stock recovery to unbrick

I used a GSI to update from Oreo to Pie. But the TWRP has only 2 options (boot & Recovery) to flash the .img file. However, I did a restore & back with the old Oreo. I want to upgrade my Asus Lite 1 to Pie!! Is there any possibility to get the mobile back to the factory state including recovery? So, that I can begin from one.

MiFlash uses fastboot writing.
SP Flash Tool uses eMMC writing.

Try using sp flash tool.
But if you are on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to bypass authorization and flash in EDL mode: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/

Xiaomi flash tool is an official tool specifically only for Xiaomi devices, it can flash in fastboot mode and download mode both.
Sp flash is an unofficial tool which works for almost every device with Mediatek chipset, and it can flash only in download mode.

Probably an unusual question:
I hate android 10/11, they simply abuse of "security" bs and prevents us of doing what we want with our phones.
Is it possible to get rid of dynamic partitions and install some android 9 (Pie) from old days of freedom?

Do you mean some rom like GSI ?
I have no ideia, my friend.
But, android 9, 10, 11 and 12 are totally compatible.
So, I think yes, you can.

Yes, I mean GSI, but without the super partition, where every partition goes to root (boot, system, vendor, userdata, etc)

I suggest you to unlock bootloader once you can and then, backup it following my guide:

[GUIDE]Installing a Lineage 17.1 ROM in Redmi Note 9 (merlin)

Hi everyone!
I've been testing installing Lineage 17.1 custom ROMs on merlin, here are the steps I followed plus a LOS 17.1.
I found out that this ROM works better than MIUI and its very stable as a daily driver.
Tested on Redmi Note 9 Global (merlin) - CPU (Helio G85) - ROM/RAM: 64GB/3GB, initialy flashed over MIUI 12.0.3 Global
This are the steps I followed:
Unlock bootloader (of course)
Backup all sensitive data (it maybe lost if things go wrong)
For you in case things go wrong, also download the exact fastboot rom of the MIUI version you are using from xiaomifirmwareupdater.com (it has to be fastboot ROM becouse it contains stock recovery)
Flash a TWRP with new MIUI kernel support
Download TWRP build by wzsx15, for example
Download a modifed vbmeta.img, like the one provided in this thread
Flash like this:
Bash:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Test TWRP, at least verify it can mount and read /data.
Wipe data, cache and dalvik
Flash LOS 17.1 for merlin (details below), or anything you want to test
Details about provided LOS 17.1:
LineageOS 17.1 - UNOFFICIAL | A10.
Released : 11/02/'21
By @CosmoFreak001 & @chcepizze
SElinux permissive
Changelog:
• Fixed VoLTE
• Fixed Brightness bug
• Fixed all major bugs
• Fixed Double tap to wake
• Fixed Offline Charging
Download
Source (build using generic kernel for Mediatek Helio G85)
Works at least over:
MIUI 12.0.4 Global and less
MIUI 12.0.1 Indonesia and less
--------------
⚠WARNING⚠
MIUI 12.0.5 Global (and 12.0.2 Indonesia) and any higher version, would probably need a downgrade.
--------------
In case things go wrong:
TWRP dosen't work correctly and now my system can't boot
Restore stock recovery, vbmeta and boot partition
Go to fastboot
Extract recovery.img file from your stock fastboot ROM and flash it like this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot, if system dosen't boot, go to next step
Extract vbmeta.img file from stock fastboot ROM and flash it like this
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Reboot, if it can't boot, go to next step
Extract boot.img file from your stock fastboot ROM and flash all (recovery, vbmeta and boot partition) it like this
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
TWRP ask's me for a passoword
It's the first PIN number of the lockscreen you set when you first run the system
My PIN doesn't work or my phone never had a PIN and still asks me for one
Maybe /data is not accesible (TWRP compatibility problem)
Try mounting /system and /vendor partition
Navigate through them and verify you can see files and folder
If TWRP is unable to mount any partition restore stock recovery partition
If TWRP can see and mount partitions other than /data:
You can format /data (you are losing ALL data including internal storage)
I don't wont to lose all my data!
Restore stock recovery

Good work, Please note that the rom does not boot on every vendor version, So include the list of the vendors working for rom, As far as I know, it has booted successfully on MIUI 12.0.3 Global and 12.0.1 Indonesia.

Hello members after a long daunting minutes ,hours and days asking for the procedures in this forum on how i can install the custom rom on the Redmi note 9 Merlin MT 6768 3GB Ram ,64GB Rom Global version MiUI 12.0.3.0 i have managed to to install the 17.1 lineage through some experiences, First thanks to the two members who have been of help namely SparXFusion and Ma269 after i have read their post on this forum. Here is what i did i was on MIUI v11.0.4.0 which i later updated to 12.0.3.0 for this to work . Below is the procedure which i have been following and i discovered that the TWRP files i downloaded works fine from v 11.0.4 to 12.0.4.0 PROCEDURE
1- Download the TWRP file from this site : https://mega.nz/file/SuZn2QqZ#jJ6xRku...
2- Download the ADB file from this site : https://androidmtk.com/download-minim..
3- Below command prompts
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash misc misc.bin
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once boot in TWRP open Wipe/format then type yes. Then go to install to get the 17.1 lineage custom rom from internal or external storage if it was downloaded there . Then fine you are good to go
All in all i have noticed that to set the email its not working may the experts explain my observation.
Waiting to hear from some members the solution

Misc.bin isn't necessary for flashing twrp,
And what do you mean by "that to set the email it's not working"?

yes, this recovery is built to work with a12+ (a11 is compatible)
(some little things need to be completed, but this will be later)

I have actually a Xiaomi 11lite 5G NE with Xiaomi.eu rom (a11: version 12.5.9, rooted with magisk 15.1) and twrp-3.6.0_11-0-lisa. I am very happy with them but I would like to try this recovery. Can I install it over TWRP using "ramdisk install"?
Must I reinstall from Platform tool?
I appreciate very much that you are working on a android 12 compatible version!

Doesn't work ... after sending recovery with 'fastboot boot OrangeFox-12.1-lisa.img' command it gives a little vibration and the screen goes blank. when forced reboot to recovery there's MIUI recovery 5.0 that's all ....

Same for me (black screen after fastboot boot ...)
I have stock MIUI 12.5.8 (A11) and so far I used SHRP from HimanshuRaj (another thread here) and OrangeFox-R11.1_0-Unofficial-lisa (I also picked up here on XDA) and I was always able to fastboot boot ... to either of them (and then to install one or another permanently to the Ramdisk - actually I later Installed magisk together, too, everything works perfectly)
Don't know nwhy now this OF 12..1 fails to boot (black screen) - I had to reboot to my older OrangeFox-R11.1_0-Unofficial-lisa
---
Also, do I really need to disable VBMETA verification?
So far I used both SHRP and OF 11.1 (and patched the Magisk to the boot img), but never ever had to play with/disable VBMETA verification. Everything worked fine (also passing SafetyNet with the USNF module)
---
Also, Lisa is A/B device. Doesn't that mean that (if disabling verity in vbmeta is neccessary) instead of
fastboot flash vbmeta ...
fastboot flash vbmeta_system ...
we have to use (depending on which slot is currently active):
fastboot flash vbmeta_a ... or fastboot flash vbmeta_b ...
fastboot flash vbmeta_system_a ... or fastboot flash vbmeta_system_b ...
(or fastboot will correctly flash to the active slot just by using vbmeta and vbmeta_system, resp, as in the OP post #1)
Sorry for asking that, as I said I used two other custom recoveries with my MIUI 12.5.8 so far, and didn't need to touch vbmeta

Same issue as above. Unable to boot to recovery. However, I was able to install via TWRP. I tested OTG, backup/restore, flashing and sideload. All working. The only thing that does not seem to be working is mounting external sd. Other than that, great work. Thanks!

Same for me (black screen after fastboot boot ...)
I have stock MIUI 12.5.8 (A11) and so far I used SHRP from HimanshuRaj (another thread here) and OrangeFox-R11.1_0-Unofficial-lisa (I also picked up here on XDA) and I was always able to fastboot boot ... to either of them (and then to install one or another permanently to the Ramdisk - actually I later Installed magisk together, too, everything works perfectly)
Don't know nwhy now this OF 12..1 fails to boot (black screen) - I had to reboot to my older OrangeFox-R11.1_0-Unofficial-lisa
---
Also, do I really need to disable VBMETA verification?
So far I used both SHRP and OF 11.1 (and patched the Magisk to the boot img), but never ever had to play with/disable VBMETA verification. Everything worked fine (also passing SafetyNet with the USNF module)
---
Also, Lisa is A/B device. Doesn't that mean that (if disabling verity in vbmeta is neccessary) instead of
fastboot flash vbmeta ...
fastboot flash vbmeta_system ...
we have to use (depending on which slot is currently active):
fastboot flash vbmeta_a ... or fastboot flash vbmeta_b ...
fastboot flash vbmeta_system_a ... or fastboot flash vbmeta_system_b ...
(or fastboot will correctly flash to the active slot just by using vbmeta and vbmeta_system, resp, as in the OP post #1)
Sorry for asking that, as I said I used two other custom recoveries with my MIUI 12.5.8 so far, and didn't need to touch vbmeta

Installed the correct firmware before flashing.
for example for this rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-12-1-official-pixelos-aosp-stable-15-08-2022.4392297/
This firmware
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pixelos-releases/files/twelve/lisa/firmware/
Most often it is global or CN firmware.

Yeap, try this rom.
Flashing the correct firmware with the TWRP but sometimes it does not work, the method that works 100% is to use Miflash(without relocking the bootloader) and let the phone restart then switch to fastboot mode once arrived at the request of the Xiaomi account.
Install TWRP
Twrp
Wipe/format data type yes
reboot twrp
put the rom in internal storage or use Otg
Flash rom
• After installation complete, Reboot system
if bootloop format data and reboot system.
This method differs from that recommended by the OP but remains the most common one, you can use that of the OP, at your choice.
In any case, formatting the data does not erase the previously installed firmware.
.Use 12 version

Rename to twrp.img.
The command from the folder where the img is.
You must have flashed the xiaomi rom first to be on the correct firmware. How did you proceed?
