Question Query regarding update Miui EU 12.5.3.0 - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

Hi,
I have Mi 11X India handset and have unlocked bootloader and installed Miui Eu 12.5.2.0 ROM a few days back. Today while checking the inbuilt updater app, a new update Miui 12.5.3.0 EU ROM. Can I update using the inbuilt updater?? Or should I download the file and install the update via fastboot method only??
Also Can I install TWRP Alpha released few days back?? I mean I am on Miui 12.5.2.0 EU ROM which I installed via fastboot method. Can I install TWRP now??
If yes, then should I have to use TWRP to update to the new update?? Or can I do via fastboot method??

You have to use TWRP to install the new version. In TWRP, select the EU ROm.zip file from the install menu and complete the installation.
Fastboot method is no longer supported.

So first I need to install TWRP on my handset. Then I should download the update zip and keep it in my internal storage and then I need to reboot into TWRP recovery and then install the downloaded package available in internal memory??

Yes thats right
If you are going to install it on the previous EU rom;
1-Copy the EU rom .zip file to internal memory.
2-Install TWRP
3-Open TWRP
4-Select the .zip file in memory from the Install section and complete the installation.
If you want, you can just start TWRP and use it. ADB Command : fastboot boot twrp.img
Please see the attached picture for permanent setup after opening TWRP.
If you want to factory reset it after installation, you can Wipe Data.(After installing Eu rom, do Wipe data.)

Sorry bad english

I have installed the new Miui EU 12.5.3.0 update without installing the TWRP. All I did was download the TWRP file and place it in adb tools folder. Also downloaded the 12.5.3.0 zip file and placed in in device internal memory. Opened command prompt. Entered "fastboot boot twrp.img" and TWRP launched in Device. Then went to Install in TWRP, selected the ROM Zip file from internal memory and installed the ROM. All working fine and I have also TWRP now on my device.

This is asking the experts here. Can some expert who has been playing with TWRP and Custom ROMs provide some feedback.
I have a Mi 11x Indian Variant. It came with Miui Global Stable. I unlocked bootloader and installed the fastboot EU ROM 12.5.2.0 via fastboot method. Three days later EU ROM 12.5.3.0 ROM was released which is not a fastboot ROM but Recovery ROM. Hence it could have been installed only with TWRP Recovery. Instead of installing TWRP I just booted TWRP on my handset with command fastboot boot twrp.img and then selected Install on the screen and selected the downloaded EU ROM 12.5.3.0 from Device internal memory which I copied earlier after downloading it on my laptop. Proceeded with Install and update 12.5.3.0 was installed and the Device booted into system with 12.5.3.0 update applied. Also since this update also included TWRP, TWRP also got installed. I can boot into TWRP recovery from my handset.
Now what I want to understand is, that have I done everything correctly?? Did I had to do anything extra?? Like some wipe data or format data or something?? I simply wanted to update from 12.5.2.0 which was a fastboot ROM to 12.5.3.0 which was a recovery ROM. And I have done exactly the same as explained above. Haven't faced any errors or issues. Just want to understand if everything I did was correct. Or should I have done something extra? I mean I dont want to face any issued or errors in future and loose my data.
Please throw some light.

There is no need to extend the subject that much. You did everything right.
Nobody can guarantee that there will be no software problems in the future.
If you have a problem in the future, you back up your data and wipe data / cache OK.

twrp has a bug and cant decrypt your data. before using twrp please format your userdata partition in fastboot by using this command: fastboot format userdata

I have the same issue, it asks me for a password when accessing TWRP because it couldn't decrypt. I've tried both the command above (fastboot format userdata & format data from TWRP directly) and I can access TWRP but when I restart the phone, I have boot loop on the loading screen.
If I don't use the command, and restart the phone directly (not going into TWRP first), the flashed recovery is automatically replaced with the MIUI recovery.
Anyone managed to actually boot the phone with the TWRP recovery installed with no decrypt error?
Thanks

Hi,
I didn't install xiaomi.eu afterwards neither updated the china rom. I'm using china rom (I live in China so there's some stuff on the chinese rom I can use and the updates are more swift), but it's the latest chinese miui rom with the update that came out a few days ago. I had the mi max 2 before and never had to update or re-install a rom after flashing TWRP. With the mi max 2 there were no issues after flashing TWRP in fastboot and then go to TWRP and flash super su. Do you reckon if I flash TWRP then flash the china rom through TWRP it won't give a boot loop (won't it re-write the TWRP bootloader with the miui one?)? If so, should I run the erase data command from fastboot or erase the data partition on TWRP recovery?
There's also a zip file to be installed in TWRP to avoid boot loop (can't recall the name right now), but didn't work either.
If someone has any ideas I'm willing to try on my end to figure this out
Thanks

Flashed TWRP again, did a userdata format from fastboot, then went to the recovery, deleted dalvik/cache and re-installed China ROM... Still stuck on boot loop.

Come on! Guys!
It is so simple to bypass this Internal Storage(0MB) problem on official China rom (Stable and Beta) of TWRP!
DO NOT use the "Install" option in TWRP to install Magisk.zip/Superusr.zip as TWRP cannot read your Internal Storage at all!
Just activate the adb sideload in TWRP and use the adb sideload command on your PC to push the magisk.zip/Superusr.zip or any zippies into your internal storage especially so if you are rooting the official China rom!
After that. Reboot to system from TWRP and Bingo! Your official China rom/MIUI pops up nicely in no time! :fingers-crossed:
...and the best part of it. You don't need to format data at all! All your data remained intact!!!
I'm running the official China rom 9.6.11.0 with Magisk 16.0 now! All work perfectly including the ever-most-impoartant's Titanium backup! :fingers-crossed::victory:

How to update with twrp and root access installed?

Hello,
i have version 11.0.2.0 Global on the device with twrp, magisk and edXposed.
Now I have seen that there is already a global version 11.0.6.0.
In my case, how can I update to a new version without losing the data and settings?
And one more question in general. Version 11.0.6.0 is not shown to me via OTA. Here it says, latest stable version 11.0.2.0. Is it not rolled out via OTA?
And if there was a newer version available via OTA, could I install the update despite TWRP?

I (without root) flashed the OTA on 11.0.2.0 global PGGMIXM to 11.0.6.0, but, to flash with root... Maybe (I dont know if it will brick) but you can try flash a recovery version of 11.0.6.0

I had exactly the same setup as you - here's what I did: 1 - Downloaded full rom from official Mi website (MIUI Global 11.0.6.0(PGGMIXM) 2 - Moved rom to root storage 3 - Flashed rom with TWRP, and voila! Updated to latest stable rom. Just remember to flash TWRP recovery again through Fastboot, because you will have stock recovery after update. I am using LTWRP- 3.3.1 -0924 and rooted and installed Magisk, without issues

One thing you forgot to mention is what region is your phone (not your Rom). If Chinese you may have to be extra cautious and steps above might not work for you.
Good luck!

Interesting. I'm still on rooted miui 10 4.5.0 PGGEUXM rooted magisk and twrp recovery-红米Note8Pro-3.3.1-9.0.img
I didn't update yet as bricking started to happen and I can't miss my phone as a daily driver.
Normally I would flash the full ROM, flash magisk, wipe cache and reboot.
So flashing full ROM doesn't break root?
Can't we flash recovery by twrp after flashing ROM instead by flashing by fastboot?
Isnt secure flash twrp after the ROM.

Flashing a full rom will break root, and install stock recovery...
It is too risky to flash another recovery with twrp (possible brick)
so where to put official update on sd card?
download recovery rom?

I just brought rmn8p with miui 11.0.6.0 ,so it is ok to use LRTWRP-3.3.1 -0924. I came across a new version -1104, I'll try it after unlock the bootloader. After that flash preloader then trwp.
Use LR.TWRP, it got an option to make the TWRP persist on every OTA.
Also LR.TWRP = less headache on Xiaomi devices.

What is correct solution to update rooted phone?
Redmi Note 8 Pro, 11.0.2 QGGEUXM, TWRP 3.3.1 1210, Magisk 20.3 -> 12.0.1 QGGEUXM
System say there exists update, i choose download, select reboot, but after reboot i end up in TWRP but nothing happened. After exit i boot to old 11.0.2 system with message that update fail.
Edit 1: after 2. download/update/reboot TWRP start installing image ...
Edit 2: after automatic update system say 12.0.1, just loosing root (all apps stay)
Edit 3: installed TWRP again, Magisk (there was little problem because Magisk Manager say "not installed", but after some googlig i fix that. So i update system without reinstalling apps or loosing data.
Clear solution is probably download full rom from official Mi website and flash selected rom with TWRP (flash TWRP recovery again, repeat root process, to get root back). See next post.

This is how I upgraded, try at your own risk.
Download full recovery zip of MIUI 12 and latest magisk
Create twrp Backup just in case
In LR TWRP 10 mount & format system, cache, dalvik, vendor.
Flash full rom (not ota!)
Press home to return to the main screen Choose Advanced-File Manager item >system_root / system / folder at the bottom if there is a recovery_fromboot.p file delete it.
Go back to Advanced and select Close AVB2.0 and confirm with a swipe to the right.
flash Magisk
boot to system
First boot takes a while, relax and grab a drink
Remember to backup and close AVB!
Thank you so much for sharing these steps. I have questions for a couple of steps below:

What is TWRP 10? Do I format first and then mount? I usually wipe system, cache, dalvik and then "install" the full rom (your next step), but i never try "mount" here. What does mount do here? what is wiping vender and mounting vender?

Question How to flash manually new available zip OTA firmware update ?

Hello.
How to flash manually new available zip OTA firmware update ?
I have 12.5.1.0 RHKEUXM
And now is available new version 12.5.3.0 RKHEUXM (zip file)
How do I flash manually a new OTA zip version with a size of about 355MB via twrp recovery or another way ?
I tried it, but in twrp recovery I got an error with some A / B partition switching.
(Screenshot in next post)
Simplified: How to install the update when I have TWRP recoveryrecovrecovery and Magisk Root?
Can you please help? Thank you.
You cannot update with TWRP unless the twrp supports it.
It would say MIUI OTA support where you downloaded it.
So how do I install it? I have the OTA update downloaded in the downloads in the repository.
So how do I install the OTA update?
When I install the zip via twrp recovery, this pops up:
No one can advise? Please.
You don't.
OTA is automatically installed by the system

see here if you don't have the option to select update manually, tap on the miui 12 icon in 'about' several times to enable more options (going from memory, so can't be sure, but i think that's right)
I selected the downloaded zip manually and started updating.
MIUI update failed!
Where is the problem?
I note that I have TWRP recovery, Magisk root, unlocked bootloader.

That only works with stock recovery.
Try installing the stock recovery by manually flashing the recovery.img from the fastboot rom of the miui version you are currently running.
After downloading the fastboot ROM current to your muui version extract it and flash recovery.img
Then do the OTA update.
Then reflash twrp.
Thank you. And any procedure and links to download and install stock recovery?
Um just download your stock rom?
Same place where you manually downloaded the ota, there would be a fastboot recovery ROM too.

Do you mean zip rom?
If u wanna use TWRP, u have to download recovery ROM for 12.5.3.0 (the one over 2,9 Gb), not the OTA (incremental) one.

Do you mean the whole ROM with a size of about 3 GB zip file?
And after the flash, will I be left with the system and application settings as before the flash of this new ROM version?
Or will I have to set everything again?
Ur settings and apps will be kept....after flash rom, just delete dalvick and reboot to system. if u have magisk, u'll have to flash it again....most probably

Okay. So what do you think is easier? Flash the whole ROM via TWRP recovery, or back to stock recovery and flash only OTA update zip (355 MB) manually and back flash TWRP recovery?
If u have TWRP flashed, my way is easier in my opinion....but is ur choice after all.

Yes this method works.
Flashing it would upgrade it.
Problem with MIUI OTA the zip is encrypted so. Only some forks of TWRP like pitch black, orangefox etc have MIUI OTA support.

Question Xiaomi Eu 12.5.6 - 12.5.7

Yes but not necessarily.
Flashing a ROM-Update will also flash a new boot.img, and boot.img also contains the Recovery Mode.
However, Xiaomi.eu for Poco F3 has Nebrassy's TWRP 3.5.1 integrated.
So if you have Asishoth's TWRP 3.5.2 before the update, Xiaomi.eu will replace it with Nebrassy's TWRP version 3.5.1, which is slightly older.
If you want your TWRP to persist, select "Inject TWRP...", or you can flash TWRP manually after the update.
Edit: And if you had Magisk Root before update, you will have redo that. You will have to backup the boot-partition using TWRP, rename the backed up boot.emmc.win to boot.img and patch it with Magisk, rename that file back to boot.emmc.win and restore that boot partition using TWRP.

No don't worry.
Yes the size is normal, because it's a full Recovery ROM, which are for both Clean-Install and Updating.
There are also Incremental ROMs which are small and only contain changes since previous build and thus can only be used for updating, but you only get such ROM update files for Official MIUI ROMs, not Xiaomi.eu.

You can install Magisk by downloading Magisk.apk from that GitHub page and renaming it to Magisk.zip and flashing it in TWRP.
That's easier than having to patch boot.img

I don't know exactly either, but App Cache is definitely one of them, and some files in phone storage...

Question Help: Can't flash twrp recovery from PC to my Phone (F3)

I successfully unlocked my bootloader, then I tried flashing the twrp by following munchy's tutorial from YouTube (as someone recommended here). I also used the twrp recovery file he provided in the description, by using the latest platform tools from the official website. It was going pretty good. I even got the TeamWin logo, and also loaded up the twrp interface, and was able to navigate through it. But the problem was my internal storage wasn't showing up. So I booted back to my system normally to see If I can find a solution. Then I think I tried again after restarting to see if it fixes itself, but the same problem was persisting. The next time when I tried again, I used the latest twrp version which I downloaded from the official twrp website.
But since my 3rd attempt, I am not able to see any TeamWin recovery come up on my phone, when I connect I do the "fastboot boot (twrp filename)" command in cmd. When I do the command, nothing shows up. The device remains in the Fastboot mode, or just turns off. When I switch it back on, It turns on normally and boots into the phone without any issues, and I can use it. I've tried switching back to the original twrp version munchy used in the above linked video, but same result.
What did I do wrong here? How do I make my phone get into the twrp recovery when I enter the fastboot boot (twrp filename) command thru my PC? How do I make my Internal Storage available to view int he TWRP recovery so I can install it from my Downloads folder? I am on MIUI 14.0.4 If that helps. My end goal is to install Magisk.
Any tips/guides/suggestions are appreciated.
Installing TWRP and root does not erase your data.
Remove security from the lock screen. (decryption).Normally the latest TWRP decrypts the data.
Install Platform tools ,put the TWRP in the folder and run the commands from the folder.
TWRP SKK, Use A12 if your system is in A12/A13 if system A13.
Rename it to twrp.img
CMD
fastboot boot twrp.img
Powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current TWRP"
If offered, both slots.

Thank you. I had put backed the screen lock after the first 2 attempts because someone said to to that on a YT video after they faced the same problem. Now I tried again by removing the screen lock and the latest twrp for my device also boots up just fine. Now the problem Is I still can't access my internal storage .
Still having removed the screen security?
Which rom(fullname)?
Which TWRP?
Try to mount storage.

Yes, I removed the screen security, though I can enter TWRP, I can't read the internal storage. MIUI 14.0.4.
I just watched a YT video where the dude does the following:
-TWRP Recovery
- Wipe
- Format Data
- Types 'yes'
then
-TWRP Recovery
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Do not Install
After coming back to recovery after rebooting, he gets a pop up, which at the swipe says "Swipe to allow for modifications" which he swipes, then now after checking the Internal Storage, It's readable now. Is this a possible solution?
Twrp A13, obviously if you don't want to keep the data.
Twrp/wipe format data type yes/reboot TWRP.
If error red lines, reboot TWRP and repeat the operation.
Sideload roms or use OTG.

what's twrp A13? Also, I just unlocked my bootloader a few hours ago, so my phone has already done a factory reset and i don't have anything to lose except the Magisk APK and .img file in my phone.
But I have a question, will doing the format data just do a factory reset, or will I lose my ROM? Because I'm not trying to install a custom ROM, I just want to Install Magisk as the end goal with my current ROM.
MIUI 14 Android 13 so use this TWRP
plugged the phone into the PC when it is on the TWRP, you will have access to the internal storage. (works on my 12 pro aves twrp A13 Skk).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
I'm using the latest one I could find on the TWRP website for my device. Not aware If it supports Android 13 though as it isn't mentioned on the website. Just asking my prev question, will doing the format data from TWRP just do a factory reset, or do I lose the ROM and will have to install a custom ROM?
second question I forgot to ask in my prev post, after i do the format data and put the Magisk APK and twrp img file again on my device, will my device stay decrypted as I formatted the data, or will the problem persist?
sorry If i sound dumb

Use this TWRP(officiel).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
thank you, this is the one I was looking for. Sorry to bother you again, now I installed the Magisk V26.1 apk from TWRP. And when I boot back to system and try opening the magisk manager, this happens. It says downloading, forever. I think I shouldn't have directly downloaded the latest version. So probably have to downgrade it a bit. For that, what will I have to do?
Can I just hold the Magisk icon, and uninstall it simply like any other app? Or do I have to do it from the TWRP? Also, Is it necessary for me to uninstall it before downgrading, or can I just download the apk of older magisk version and flash it from twrp just like I did previously?
It was on my first post.

Hi all. Hope you are good and safe from Covid-19. If you like TWRP as your recovery and want to keep root access as well, I am going to show you how to do that. Because if you take the stock boot.img and patch it via magisk, you will lose TWRP...

I don't doubt it, the Twrp A12 also works for certain operations on an A13 system but for certain Miui roms some bootloop.

Hm ok.
Welp for me on AOSP, it works nicely. I flash a new build (or two) every week. Backup/Restore works as should. UI is nice and modern, imo better than TWRP. That's why I'm recommending it.
Haven't heard anyone saying that they can't view Phone storage on OrangeFox.
Hi,
@NOSS8 , I'd like to ask : I've only some hours to wait to unlock the BL. But one question, as it's yet the stock rom (FW V13.0.11.0, A12), wich twrp should I use ? I want to install a A13 rom (that supposes FW V 14.xxx !)
So :
- fastboot boot twrp (but wich one ?? A12 or 13 ?? ; skkk ? Or ?) (+ "flash current twrp" OR "install it in ramdisk"?)
- reboot recovery
- flash FW V14.xxx
- flash rom
- format data
- reboot system
- flash magisk (last version ? Seems to be 'big' changes ?)
- flash what I need (V4A, DFE (??), ....)
What do you think ?
Thanks a lot ! Main question is about what version of twrp.. Help will be very appreciated !

Instead, use Miflash with a Fastboot rom, you can extract the boot img for root.(don't re lock the bootloader).
You can root without TWRP, but according to this thread, if you root you lose the TWRP and vice versa, I don't know if this is still relevant.(I don't have this device).
If you need ,install the TWRP A13 after flashing the A13.

I'm very greatfull for your quick reply ! Thanks
The device is too a Poco f3, sorry.. This doesn't need to flash magisk for twrp to stick (I had another one I've broken)
But I don't understand what's the advantage to first flash a fastboot rom..? As you say to flash twrp would loose root and vice versa... (I've read the thread you're talking about ofox)
So I wanted to go trough +- the way I mentionned, as A13 as well as ofox 'seems' to work (but I'm carefull with that twrp on stock MIUI A12, and I never used ofox..)
So you do think it's a bad idea ?? The rom I want to flash is crdroid.
I'm more lost now ...
Thanks again !
