TWRP Does not appear to stick after reboot - MIUI 10 8.8.3 China Beta / Max 3 128/6

Hi Guys - I installed this twrp via fastboot flash recovery, I am on china dev version MIUI 10 8.8.3 Beta, rebooted to system, powered down, and then volume up & power button to go to recovery - I am greeted by china recovery 3.0 in chinese. It appears twrp does not stick. Device is unlocked bootloader (from vendor), Just flashed over from the fake ROM, this is the 128 GB / 6 GB version phone. What am I doing wrong

Lol, dont understand why you typed "revocery" in your pic but it still understood

After flashing china rom, need to boot to fastboot then execute the following commands in adb:
1. fastboot format userdata
2. fastboot flash recovery twrp.......
3. fasboot boot recovery twrp...... so the phone can boot into recovery then follow the rest of the guide if you want to flash xiaomi.eu rom

That's strange, but Orange recovery also reverted
You're right it shouldn't have installed but it did. The Orange recovery also installed, neither stuck tho

Awesome

I'm straggling with Chinese like most of us here. There is an android app you can install on your other phone which would use your cam to translate Chinese. Try that see if it helps...

What I am getting from this (cannot read chinese) but phone goes into fastboot - So I have formated, deleted the eu rom I had on the internal - so start again install the fastboot rom, twrp into it reboot twrp, have eu rom on SD Card and go from there.

After flashing TWRP you need to change file system from ext4 to f2fs, then reboot recovery, from within twrp, wipe cache,dalvic, data and internal recovery ( do NOT wipe system), mount all possible options ( pc will recognize phone, transfer xiaomi.eu rom from pc to internal memory, go to install and flash rom and wait to boot.

Change phone file system
How?
Currently it states reset device and loops off and on.
It's a mess

Can I flash this instead
Hi, I'd also flashed miui_MIMAX3Global_V9.6.6.0.OEDMIFD_091e94a919_8.1
Can I flash this rom on top of the above?
Fastboot ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.7.0.O...EDCNFD_20180705.0000.00_8.1_cn_7c9a1a57f8.tgz
Located here
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...-and-recovery-rom-9-6-7-0-for-mi-max-3.45198/
Thanks, I'm afraid I'll brick the device?

Also struggled with twrp, switched back to miui's.
Look the twrp official site, find your device and follow step by step the fastboot method till the end. Worked.

I have solved the TWRP issue, the problem now is that when I flash a ROM it does not seem to work and crashes.
I am worried this is going to get bricked in this process. Maybe just wait for the official Global to come out

Hi, Which partitions to change to F2FS, If we change the Data Partition that would need to reflash Miui Chinese again?

Many Many Thanks - I am up and running

Thanks Martin you're very helpful I am now up and running. I am going to list a list of mistakes
1. I should have used CMD, not Powershell (type CMD in the address bar of the folder where your recovery is)
2. I did not know the sequence of flashing (change to F2FS, reboot recovery from within, Wipe Dalvic, Cache, Data) Then flash
3. I did not know how to boot recovery from fastboot (fastboot boot "recovery.img" "name of your recovery")
4. I did not know to change file system for data, (From TWRP Wipe->Advanced wipe->Repair or change file system. Select Data partition, select F2FS) change it then reboot recovery = see step 2 above.
Thanks Very Much
I am listing these for reference, and for those who help others to know what other errors may be committed.

Twrp supposedly installed -- twice -- but i got nothin'
Hi all,
I love this forum -- despite having a bunch of learning disabilities, I've managed to root a half dozen devices over the years thanks to your patience. This time I'm stumped.
Can't install TWRP. It says it is installed successfully with ADB (see screenshot). I used
twrp-3.3.1-0-nitrogen.img and I'm on I'm on Miui Global 10.3.5 Stable (Android 9PKQ1.181007.001).
Command line confirms installation. MM3 reboots when I enter the fastboot reboot to recovery command but it boots into the main system. I can boot into recovery using power/volume up method but it boots to the stock Mi recovery.
Should I try OrangeFox? Does this have anything to do with dm-verity? Is there anything else I can try to get root?
Originally, I wanted to install LineageOS, but what with locked bootloaders, anti-rollback, DM Verity, etc. , I'm guessing that's over my head and would happily settle for rooted stock.
Best,
Amy

Twrp supposedly installed -- twice -- but i got nothin'
EUREKA!!! I found a simple solution to install TWRP no worries about verity etc and I am rooted!
Genius idea came from Youtuber. Here is the link but I will still describe it in case the video gets removed for some reason.
You do it the regular stuff:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery "twrp filename"
But then while you're still in fastboot enter "fastboot recovery" into the command line and before you hit enter, press and hold volume up on the phone.
It boots into TWRP!
Note that you will keep getting Mi Recovery using volume down/power combo until after you use TWRP install (accessing TWRP with above method) to flash magisk.
Then, TWRP seems to stick. (Although just in case it gets unstuck, I installed the official twrp app from the Play store, since it has a 'boot into recovery' option.

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.

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.

it's best to go global first coming from tmo. No, as long as you don't do an ota on Global. so flash global then boot, then flash custom rom(following their guide).
If u lose service modem is provided (Just unzip) Bootloader fastboot command "fastboot flash modem modem.img
This of course is assuming u got unlock.bin and unlocked Bootloader

Here we go!
Welcome @gwolfu
Hopefully we don't need 11.2.7.7?? It's not out here in EU yet, what's the reason most of the custom roms seem to want the EU build by the way?

CRDroid, fantastic to see this here my favorite ROM since the days of my LG G3! Can't wait to try this out, will sadly be waiting till TWRP tho as I'd prefer to avaoid gapps. Unless there is any chance of a non gapps build also? Cheeky....!

I'll flash and report tomorrow .

Since the instructions specify using fastboot (as well as sideloading the rom), that's not possible.

install magisk apk on phone as any other apk (I know we are not rooted yet)
copy boot.img to internal phone storage

select the boot.img from internal storage
after done, copy magisk patched boot image from Download folder on phone storage, to PC

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!

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

Hello, dear owners of this beautiful device.
After an unsuccessful attempt to get root, such a warning appeared, plus the ability to lock the screen disappeared. As a result, I didn't get root either and problems arose)
Could you show the instructions how to fix everything step by step and get root? Thanks)

Hey, so I have the same problem as you. I was installing the patched boot.img file when I rebooted, but there was no magsik app. After I tried to flash the same file again, except I put in some vbmeta file because some website said so, now my phone's files are corrupted. I got into fastboot mode and put through recovery mode, and did a data wipe and one final reboot, but even that did work because it said my phone is corrupt. The last thing I will try is to install TWRP, remove the old data, and install the update to restore the previous ROM files. I'll let you know if anything works. Just try ur methods and let me know if they worked. Sure is an expensive paperweight if it doesn't work...

Your boot loader must be unlock
Reboot to recovery, choose English when you see "Wipe data" type
adb reboot sideload
Once your phone boots into sideload mode (When you see the two error line at the bottom of the screen) type
adb sideload NX729J-update.zip
When the transfer is successful ( with a transfer of 2.0 display) you can wipe the data twice with the first and second options and reboot the phone. If you are lucky, the phone will boot

For QFIL, use Flat Build and in the configuration use ufs. Good luck!

Your version V4.18 will be replaced by V3.19. This V3.19 version can be flashed through edl mode. I could not find V4.18 in this format. The two roms are very similar. They are both global roms.

If QFIL does not work, you need to do side load the rom multiple times again then it might work!

turn off the red rm8 notification (Your device is broken. It is unreliable and may not work)
- enter command on PC: adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"
- on phone for rooted device with termux: reboot "dm-verity enforcing"

The command on PC shows "Too many arguments." The Termux one works. Thanks!
