Hello everyone. I started this thread because I don't think I've seen anything with this issue on my specific phone on this forum. Apologies if this has been discussed before.
Anyway, I'm having issues installing a ROM with adb sideload on TWRP recovery.
I got the ROM and the recovery image from blox2.com (I would post the links but apparently the forum doesn't allow me to...)
Everything works fine, I'm able to boot into TWRP recovery and inititiate the adb sideload, but the process gets stuck when it reaches 28% and throws the error message:
serving: 'BLOX2core-v1.1.1-31217.zip' (~28%) * failed to read command: Success

In case this has anything to do with ADB version, I'm using Debian and my adb version is 1:7.0.0+r1-4
If you need any more info, please ask.
Thanks in advance.
Ok, an update.
I now tried installing the ROM through TWRP's own installing option, but TWRP crashes and reboots a couple of seconds after the install is initiated.

Make sure you have MTP turned off. Also DM verity and force encryption needs to be disabled

How do I disable MTP? I can't get android to boot. Can you disable it from TWRP or is it done from a fastboot/adb command?
I figured it out. I disabled MTP from the mount menu and disabled DM-Verify and encryption from the Advanced menu... same results

OK. I tried

It crashed after a couple of seconds.
Tried with MTP disabled and DM-verity and encryption disabled.

I'm would assume the bootloader was unlocked? Are you able to make a nandroid backup? And have you tried flashing twrp to the phone ?
Where do you have the files located at? Is it on the SDcard or on the flash drive?
does this work?
fastboot oem unlock
or
fastboot flashing unlock
Should also erase/wipe everything except system/recovery/boot...
Also hope you made a nandroid backup first with the fastboot boot recovery.img, then booting into TWRP and backup. to flash drive. Need MTP disabled for some to not reboot.
Also try with the new TWRP where the reboot has been fixed.. and which version 16/2 or 64/4 BLU X2 or mini?

The bootloader was indeed unlocked.
I haven't tried flashing TWRP to the phone. Would this make it work? I'm kind of scared of having a recovery image that crashes whenever I try stuff. Can I restore the stock recovery in case anything happens?

64/4 BLU X2 version.
I can't find BLU Life One X2 on the official TWRP website, the only version I tried was on blox2.com, which I think is a modified version of 3.0.2-0.
Problem fixed!
I flashed the stock firmware using QFIL 1.0.2. Thanks so much to everyone who helped!
QFIL
I got the QFIL rom from blox2.com
When you say fixed, do you mean TWRP is now working? Or that you were able to flash the stock back? Did you already take the BLOX2 OTA update?
Trying to figure out if the update had anything to do with this default rebooting on /system being made writable.. Also did you make a nandroid backup?
QFIL is now on 1.0.0.3

I was able to flash the stock back, but via QFIL, not TWRP. The rebooting issue still persists.
I didn't make a nandroip backup, will get to it now.
Oh, I'm actually now trying to fix the rebooting issue. I think it might be a write protection, like the one HTC has. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV3YaMBnEYI
I really really need to be able to modify the system partition because the phone comes with a lot of crawpare and even some malware (https://www.cyberscoop.com/android-malware-china-huawei-zte-kryptowire-blu-products/)
FotaProvider installs some apps without your consent like Uber and some games and supposedly sends some info, too.
When I try to remove it with root uninstallers, the phone reboots. I though I had gotten rid of this issue by reflashing the ROM but apparently not...
I only flashed TWRP to cache and booted to it and flashed super SU, then used root essentials to remove some of the bloatware. But noticed supersu was gone now. It was able to remove or disable some of the stuff without rebooting and then later manually rebooting it. I disabled the apps and then removed it, so I think even the update now has the stuff but still disabled. The update also supposedly removes one of the apps that sent data back.
It rebooted at first until I saw that I had to disable MTP in TWRP options. I have not tried the recent TWRP, I was still using the one under development in the beginning.

For the time being you need to boot into TWRP and manually remove apps using ADB. We are currently working on patching the kernel to allow /system to be mounted RW sAo that you can use apps to remove system apps. In the mean time use Blox2core as it has been fully debloated.

Sounds great! Looking forward to it.
I can't install Blox2core since TWRP reboots when I try to install it or even wipe the /system partition though. Some people mentioned TWRP 3.0.3 fixed this issue.

We have a new tool that you can use to flash TWRP and root. All auto matic. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
[TOOL]Draco’s Blox2Autoroot - http://wp.me/p8gYUZ-5x
Afterwards you'll be able to flash Blox2core
Also I was unaware of this TWRP 3.0.3 for the blox2. The only one that has been ported has been 3.0.2 last I checked.
I would say disable MTP in TWRP options and developer options as well. dirst disabled it in developer options before I found out that did not stop the kernel rebooting the phone when /system became writable. I had not installed the oct update BLU sent out and maybe that makes a difference? Although the QFIL should also have the original boot/kernal image? so not sure what is going on..
If that dont stop it we need a new kernal.. I think I have the original kernal/boot saved. If anyone wants to see if that fixed the reboot.
twrp gave a MD5 of it..

The OTA update showed up one day and it installed it.. For the longest time I ignored it but I suppose someone hit ok on it.. But SuperSU seemed to have vanished before that I think. Spending time on 2 other problem phones so this one is not a priority since it works very well comparatively. I love it though it is heavy as a brick. Even my N5x case fits with a little coaxing. Although the DPI setting is set much higher like for a HD screen and not FHD. Maybe we can change it in build.prop to fix it. The N5x has much smaller icons and letters and actually fit 5 icons to a row although they both have the same density screen.. BLU has much better touch though and is far brighter and richer.

The 2 boot images ARE different.. But you should first try to write a backup back to itself and see if there are problems and guess I dont have the previlage of attaching files just yet on here.

This mod is no longer being developed.
In case you haven't noticed, it's been deprecated for some time now.
Status Bar Mod for the TrueSmartThis mod adds the Status Bar back to your device. It should work on all ROMS (though I can't make any promises for non TS devices.)
Installation
Download the zip and move to your SD card.
Disable Quick Boot!!! and reboot into recovery.
Perform a NANDroid backup (Highly recommended!)
Flash the mod.
[*]Preform a Factory Reset!!
TroubleshootingIf you do end up in a bootloop, ensure you preformed a factory reset
It may sometimes take a few minutes for the device to preform dex operations, be patient.
Ensure you are on the 1/20/2014 firmware
Get a logcat (adb logcat > log.txt) before asking for help, I am not at your device, seriously, help me out here.
The status bar can be hidden using the Xposed module GravityBox.
If all else fails, restore that NANDroid backup you made earlier.
Jarocks said:
This mod will bring back the status bar on all apps as well as a add more vanilla Settings app.
I've move around some settings, Quick Boot is now under Development Settings. Auto Rotate to display settings. A shortcut to engineering mode can be found under Development Settings.

Nope. Mine is stuck at the omate screen and doesn't go past it. Might have to pull the battery.
UPDATE:
I've now flashed back to stock. Re-flashed this over stock, got another boot loop. Wiped again, reflashed, same deal. Wiped again, no flash, got into the OS, but the update didn't change the status bar.
Any time I flash this over a fresh wipe, I get a boot loop.
Anyone else have any other experiences?

I thought i'd have to pull battery too, but if you can connect to a pc with the drivers, and adb installed you can do "adb reboot recovery"

Yeah, it wouldn't let me do that. I had to pull the battery.
Though I can adb reboot now when I get stuck on the loading screen now after I've flashed back to stock.
Me thinks this mod is borked.

Hey Jarocks,
I'm getting the same issue despite being on stock or on lokifish's mod. Any idea what's causing it?
For those of you in a bootloop try running the following adb commands and rebooting. You may also need to wipe the cache as well.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Settings.odex
adb shell rm /system/framework/android.policy.odex
adb reboot
If any take a couple mins to boot up.
Edit:
A fix has been posted in the OP, sorry guys.

No luck.
Here's what I've done:
Restored back to Stock
Booted into the OS
Unchecked Quickboot
Rebooted into TWRP
Flashed the updated MOD
Cleared Cache
Stuck at the boot screen
ADB Reboot Recovery
run the commands you listed in a previous post
none of the files are found
Reboot back into boot loop
It's still not working quite right.
So the mod also caused a boot loop and while trying to fix it I managed to wipe my OS. Now I can only boot into TWRP and that's it. Anything I could do to flash the OS. SP flash tools won't recognize my device? I feel like a complete noob!

SP Flash tool doesn't need to have an OS to recover. So all is not lost. It just takes some tinkering to get it working right. Make sure you follow the steps in the unbrick thread exactly. You may have to plug/unplug with the watch OFF a few times to get it to recognize.

Hi to all. I'm new in Honor world and I've stopped my Android experience with KitKat so I'm a little bit confused ...
I've read several guides (on XDA too) that that three steps to obtain root are unlock bootloader, flash TWRP via ADB and then install Magisk or SuperSU via TWRP. But in the thread on TWRP is clearly written that to install Magisk decryption is needed and to have decryption we must flash a kernel with encryption disabled in fstab. But no guide says anything about this step. Can someone explain me how encryption/decryption work doing a standard installation of TWRP ? Is needed a flash of a modified kernel ? And where find it ?
And another question (if it's not too much ). Since I don't need to install custom rom (I want root only to use some apps like Titanium) how can I make a backup of stock rom, boot.img, efs partition and all that can be useful to restore phone to the starting point if, by chance, I need Huawei warranty ?
Thanks a lot
Hi, apparently there's a way to get root on an encrypted system. Follow the rebrand guide and then flash supersu in TWRP via ADB sideload. It worked for me and a few others, there is no comment from the developers as of right now.
So basically in short follow this guide until you are finished with the TWRP section:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/one-guide-recovery-os-roms-t3661829
Then
- enter twrp
- adb sideload supersu
Afterwards follow the "rooting!" section with point 2
Thank for your answer... I'd like to try to install Magisk instead of SuperSU. In several places is written that this should be right. I'll try....

Finally done with a couple of hours of panic. This is the story if can be useful to someone...
Unlock bootloader....done TWRP install... done. Copy magisk (apk and zip) on phone than install apk without opening it. Reboot to recovery wipe all, factory reset. Trying to boot.....BOOTLOOP But I don't have installed Magisk zip. Only apk without opening it.
Nothing to do. Bootloop and then erecovery. I try to restore the backups previously done with TWRP. I restore boot and system partition. All wipes ...no luck. I don't know what has happened. While downloading full firmware to try to reinstall it I try to install magisk.zip. Install via TWRP. All wipes and then magically (it's such a case ) phone boots. Powered off and on several times no problem. Root (verified with root checker) ok.
I habe b100 release but I don't think to update to b130. I wait for Oreo...
The only two things that I can say are these: first TWRP even after flashing magisk gave an error (unable to mount system). Two while installing magisk it seems that magisk itself has patched something.
If someone has an explanation is welcome...

Here what I have done:
Unlock bootloader
install adb drivers (find something that is right for your PC. For example minimal ADB found on XDA weren't suitable for me. Google adb drivers...). Open a command windows (shift+right click). If typing "adb devices" your phone is found that's ok
Enable usb debugging and oem unlock (or in other words disable FRP, factory reset protection)
Put the phone in fastboot mode ("adb reboot bootloader"). If all ok typing "fastboot devices" your phone is found
Type "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxx" (xxxxxxxx is the code provided by Huawey)
Bootloader unlocked
Flash TWRP
Download TWRP recovery for Honor 9 (link found on other thread on this forum)
Put the phone in fastboot mode
Type "fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" (where xxxx.img is the recovery downloaded)
Reboot phone directly in Recovery to avoid erecovery overwrite TWRP. Booting on TWRP let TWRP patch to avoid erecovery booting
Now here I've had some issues as said (read previous post). My tip is the following:
after rebooting in TWRP make all wipes then reboot again in TWRP
Install Magisk.zip (for me download here https://geekaxe.com/root-honor-9-twrp-bootloader-unlocking/)
Reboot recovery
All wipes
Reboot to system
If it's all OK you can install magisk.apk and you are rooted
I suggest after flashing TWRP to make backup of all partitions on external SD (for some reasons, maybe encryption, backup on internal storage gives error). Again I suggest to copy all files that you need (i.e. magisk files) on external sd before starting all.
Pay attention that if you update firmware after this procedure I think that you must repeat all. For me I remain on original firmware found on phone (B100). B130 seems to have some bugs, B120 doesn't seem improve much. Moreover all releases are 7.0 based. I wait for Oreo, hopefully in some custom rom!
To add to this, a bootloop or two might be normal. Let it sit for a few minutes before considering re-flashing everything.
Thanks for your guide!

Which TWRP version did you use?
I had a similar problem after formatting all data with the OpenKirin TWRP 3.1.1 Perhaps its an issue with this TWRP release?
I was able to recover in similar circumstances by flashing a stock boot.img over fastboot. Based on this, it's looking like Magisk is really the way to go for rooting atm. Making sure to pull my twrp backup with adb this time though.
If I'm lucky enough to install magisk and not get a bootloop the safetynet always fails. Anyone got a valid method of actually getting magisk working fully?
Return to Un-modded Stock:
Bootloader unlocked and TWRP and Root included
The file is 4gb compressed to 2gb. Depending on your connection it will probably take 20 to 45 minutes to download.
Be Advised
Do your research before flashing anything, I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device, due to impatience and missed steps. However, rest assured this recovery is solid and will absolutely return your X720 or X727 to stock 5.8.21s (with the bootloader already unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted)
I was asked by several people if I would be willing to share a link to my Stock X727 recovery, I created this thread to provide the 5.8.21s recovery for anyone who is experiencing dire issues or is simply wanting to restore the last official x727 recovery, as a daily driver or as a means to troubleshoot their issues by returning to the fully stock rom, stock partitions and ready to start over.
Attached is my full stock TWRP Recovery for my Le Eco Pro 3, version: 5.8.21s (X727)
It is a clean TWRP backup recovery that I did not mod in any way other than unlocking the bootloader.
The link is to my Google Drive account. https://drive.google.com/open?id=19dtLHmE5bsx5mdtEXOns4Z5drpeY79Em

Ensure that you perform a full wipe before applying this recovery, and that you know what you are doing before attempting to install.
Please note that any changes that you make to your device is done at your own risk.
Please use caution and make sure that you have TWRP recovery installed.
Be in the habit of booting back to recovery before booting to system....This is a good practice for ensuring TWRP stays installed
You must unpack the downloaded 7zip file, before it will be useable.
As long as you can boot into TWRP and have root access you will have the full permissions needed to install anything , and reverse any actions that do not workout as planned.
Personally, I make a backup of my existing installation prior to making any changes. I recommend that you do the same. If you buy an OTG adapter and a USB 3.0 drive it takes 5 minutes.

I uploaded the Leeco Full Stock Rom 5.8.26s to my MegaDrive.
If you are selling your phone and want it to have stock without TWRP and without root , just flash this Rom and your stock radio driver "firmware" for your device

Thats Awesome! I am glad that it helped you.
Great work just what I needed only one problem for me after I flash rom reboot system and then go back into TWRP there seems to be encryption on it and I can't install or backup or do much. Is there a password or way around this TWRP encryption?

I don't have time at the moment to provide lengthy instructions. With respect, I am providing a working, clean unlocked recovery file and pointing the way to instructions already that exist all throughout the LeEco forums.
But here's a quick answer
First use TWRP to reset your phone with a clean wipe, like you would for any ROM. Set developer options to the standard settings.
Next, your storage is encrypted. So it needs to be formatted. Use TWRP format the storage only. Then reboot to recovery.
****Important****
Don't ever format the storage without ensuring that you have a TWRP recovery. Always check the boxes to check if TWRP is installed before swiping. If you don't have a recovery you have a soft brick.
For you information, TWRP recovery is installed on it's on it very own partition. Formatting the storage does not affect the TWRP partition. Nonetheless, if you see the check box option, make sure they are checked.
I would suggest that you install the all in one tool : https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....pment/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611/amp/
This tool helps a lot and makes this stuff easier if are new to flashing custom Roms.. The all in one tool will update the Google driver and ADB installation on your computer.
After you format your drive you will have to flash the recovery from the PC. The links provided show all of the steps, or you can use the all for one tool. When your storage is encrypted you have no choice but to format.
If you use the all in one tool , see their page for instructions.
Read the instructions, then read them again. when learning something new it's a good idea to take notes.
Do not deviate from those steps or you could brick your phone.
There have been many people that have messaged me by PM who successfully returned to stock using my recovery, so it will work as long as you are careful and follow the instructions verbatim and you will be fine. Plus, It's a great idea to create your own working recovery before you begin.
Reminder, you are restoring to stock under you own discretion, I am not responsible if you miss a key step, have a power outage, use faulty cables or brick your device.
One final suggestion, when you install the recovery make sure your phone is fully charged. Unplug all unneeded external peripherals from your desktop computer.
Temporarily, disable antivirus, insert USB cable into the back of your desktop PC. Those outlets provide more power.
Please look past any typos, I typed this on little keys.

No it will not keep twrp. follow the instructions in the link I provided above, there was no reason to duplicate the instructions on my post.
The difference is that my backup will restore your phone to Eui 5.8.21s with bootloader unlocked. You will need to reflash Twrp and root the phone with Magisk if you want to keep Twrp recovery ( that is what I would do) You will not be able to get OTA updates. But that doesn't matter because there probably not be any more OTA updates for the x727
Thank you, sir! This is great work. I was able to restore back to stock.
On the strange side of thing, my TWRP was saved. Previously, I was running AICP, but having multiple sound issues with it.
Here are the steps I followed to restore:
1) Move the file to OTG flash drive
2) Restore through TWRP via Restore
For my 727, it just reboot on logo, and doesn't go past it.

It takes a while.
For me, I had the quickest experience by flashing Magisk afterwards. The stock Rom , Rooted, and with Xposed is actually pretty sweet.

It should not take more than 10 minutes, and will usually startup in 5. I just now restored one of my X727's with this recovery, using the OTG method that the last person used and viola in worked so there's no doubt. I have always used ADB until now.
However, unlike the other poster, I did lose Twrp and had to reinstall it.
Always, Always Ensure Twrp is permanently installed
Make sure that you are on the latest version of Twrp : https://twrp.me/leeco/leecolepro3.html
Run Magisk, install Rom, Install Magisk again
Personally, I use the latest version of Magisk : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
You want a fully clean install before you flash.
Instructions are redundant of XDA: if you want something other than what you have read already: Click on my account history to find detailed instructions, ( I type too much, too often) Under most thanked, you can quickly find detailed instructions for installing , Roms, Rooting, Installing Twrp, How to wipe to avoid any issues.
Finally, if for some reason it still doesn't work, the file may have been corrupted.
Worst Case scenario : there are other recoveries available on XDA. Beware of the edited versions, they do not work as well as an unadulterated recovery.

This recovery is stock EUI 5.8.21s. The exception is that the bootloader is unlocked, and it has TWRP Recovery instead of EUI Recovery. I do not remember which version of Magisk I Installed. I would advise that you flash the newest version of Magisk and you will not have any safety net issues.
If you are wanting a complete return to stock, you should instead reflash the stock Full Rom, which will reinstall EUI recovery and lockdown the bootloader.
MTP does not work in TWRP on the Pixel 3 and will not work until we have time to update the TWRP MTP implementation. You may still use adb to push and pull files.
Pixel devices have 2 "slots" for ROMs / firmware. TWRP will detect whichever slot is currently active and use that slot for backup AND restore. There are buttons on the reboot page and under backup -> options to change slots. Changing the active slot will cause TWRP to switch which slot that TWRP is backing up or restoring. You can make a backup of slot A, switch to B, then restore the backup which will restore the backup of A to slot B. Changing the slot in TWRP also tells the bootloader to boot that slot.
The zip install method installs TWRP to both slots.
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, you will need to reflash root.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.

I got twrp up and running on my Pixel 3, but when try to install magisk 17.3 via twrp it says it completes but just bootloops. And I have to restore again. How did you go about it?

On the Pixel 2 XL touch was broken unless you used a custom kernel. I guess it's the same on 3. If you boot TWRP using fastboot it should allow touchscreen.
You would think after buying the Pixel 1, 2 and 3 I would have this whole A/B slot thing down pat but I dont LOL. That did the same thing for me too. I just rebooted into recovery and flashed TWRP again and it has been fine since. I think sometimes it switches slots and that causes the bootloop. I messed around with changing slots and I think I am on slot A and all if fine for me.

Hey guys - I'm a pixel noob and have a quick question about TWRP/Magisk.
I was rooted before TWRP came out so I flashed the stock boot images back to slots A and B. Then I followed steps 2-12 of the following article to install both Magisk and TWRP using temp TWRP. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/
My question is... when I was temp booted into TWRP, and installed the Magisk zip file, it only said that it installed to slot A. But when I was rooted before TWRP released I remember I had to flash the patched boot image to both slots. So using the process I followed, do I have one slot rooted and the other not? If so, is that a problem? Phone seems to work perfectly and root is working.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I've always been a HTC guy but I'm trying

No, only the current slot needs to be rooted.
Hello,
I apparently have one of these Pixel 3's that are not working with the current version of TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-0-blueline.img). Yes, I have a 3, not a 3XL. I have done these a hundred times before so I am fairly confident I am not doing anything wrong either. I get the file to load through ADB but on the reboot, it just hangs on the Google screen forever. I have left it for an hour. I have tried everything I can think of. Does anyone have any advice or is in the same situation? I just got my Pixel 3 in the mail on Friday so it's as fresh as they come. I was thinking of fully flashing the TWRP image, but I really don't think it's going to make any difference and I don't want the extra hassle of tracking down the official boot.img from the repo. I guess I will just have to wait until someone who really knows how to debug these comes across one like mine. Clearly, something has changed in what Google is sending out.
For reference:

To Pixel 3 owners that succesfully rooted, can you share the build.prop here? /system/build.prop
when i booted in to twrp it was encrypted! but i didnt have a PW.... so for everyone to whom that happens, boot up normally and disable your pin ! then you can see your storage in twrp!

Flash the stock boot image. Then try to fastboot boot "path to TWRP". If it still hangs, redownload TWRP and try again. Here's the stock boot for Pixel 3... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EMkcRkH7n-1bGlVbbzcEJKKPJeE4l9mB/view?usp=drivesdk

I have a similar problem. After installing twrp, I can boot to the OS, but Magisk isn't installed and I don't have root. After going back to Twrp and flashing the magisk zip, i can't get past the bootloader screen with a error saying something about failed to load boot.img.
Re-fastboot flashing the patched boot img to both slots brings me back to a rooted state with all magisk modules loaded and applied, but no more twrp. I technically don't need twrp for anything except for nandroid backups, but I guess i could just backup using the adb backup commands and get similar results, right?
Either way, I'm open to suggestions for how to get twrp and magisk working at the same time.
I was read https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html. That link describe how to install Magisk in our device in few ways. I was interested "Boot Image Patching" section that tell us about rooting device without TWRP.
Before this, I have 5 redmi devices and 3 of it were rooted-well via TWRP. 1 bricked (totally bricked) :laugh: and 1 still un-rooted (Redmi 6A-cactus).
My spec of Redmi 6A are:
Security Level Patch: 2019-03-01
MIUI Version: Global Stable 10.2.8.0 (oCBMIXM)
Unlocked: False (i know that i should unlocked it later, i still waiting my 360 hours )
RAM: 2GB
Storage: 16GB
Since i found that link, i still wondering and keep searching about: "is anybody succesfull root their device (especially Redmi 6A with same spec above) with "Boot Image Patching" way?
if any, please let me know. i just want to hear their review and (of course) their experience.
thanks
Yes, i got it working but i still recommend the TWRP method, but if you're still interested, be careful, don't disable the forceencrypt while patching, you can disable dm-verity but DO NOT disable the forceencrypt or you'll lose IMEI/Baseband.
Anyway, this is the patched_boot.img i've used (extracted from the latest V10.2.8.0.OCBMIXM rom).
https://www80.zippyshare.com/v/2zWEXIcM/file.html
Repeating, i still prefer the TWRP method, be careful.

Hi @jonaaa, its me again..
i was success root my 6a with patched_boot.img. but i've got problem when i installing systemless xposed. Xposed Zip successfully installed, but when i tried to install Xposed Manager then reboot, i got stuck in mi logo. i've been trying for 3 times and getting frustrated
now i decided to install twrp and (again) i got stuck in encryption problem. most of google result said that data partition should be formatted and that dont make any sense for me. how could i formatting data partition while that partition is untouchable.
so i wanna ask you: how you get rid from twrp encrypt-decrypt problem?

Do you know how to fix it? I spend my time searching to fix it and no result. And I tried flash stock ROM too and no result. Hope you know how fix my issue, thanks!!

Someone said to encrypt the data on settings, i don't know how though, if you fix it, next time, don't disable the forceencrypt.
Can you post questions in the questions and answers section next time?
i was looking around on how to flash twrp but theres no clear guide on how to do it. i keep noticing people said dont disable verity, they didn't mentioned where and when not to disable it.
because after we flash twrp, we boot to twrp. then what?

Uhh... just flash the TWRP and you're done.
The dm-verity removal is necessary if you want to install any GSI.

well i got this issue after flash twrp. after boot and reboot
i got this annyoing android system error, contact manufacturer for detail.
I have a similar problem
I was rooting my redmi 6a and now its bricked
First i intall the twrp, then i flash the Magisk with DisableEncryption, the first boot work fine, i update the magisk app and the new version isnt compatible with the magisk installed
Well i repeat the steps and then i lost the signal, in that moment i didnt know it is the IMEI lost, then i try to install Lineage OS 15.1 GSI for Redmi6a cause i think that is the solution
but the system dont boot, only boot the Xiaomi Tittle with "unlocked" (I unlock the phone before) and then get me to TWRP
Im only one with this problem?
I try use the MiFlashTool for flash the stock rom but not work, now im trying with MiFlashTool flash the MIUI9 and MIUI10.2 and other versions
I think, the problem maybe is the Boot.img
(Sorry for my bad English)
Edit-
I dont have any backup lol

This "contact manufacturer" error happens when you disable dm-verity, you can install Magisk without disabling it.

Sorry for late post
Just make sure that you flash Fastboot ROM, not just STOCK ROM. I did that last time when my IMEI/Baseband are gone. Of course it will wipe all of your data. Just be prepare for it.. :laugh:

Ups sorry.. i didnt notice that is exists :silly:
No, it wasnt like that :laugh:,, actually i did confused where should i put this question, because in Question & Answers (for me) the topic just too general and i was thinking that my question (maybe) still in development because i didnt found that in Question & Answer...
All my fault, Sorry again,

Use the TWRP-1020 instead, it works much better.

that just un-official TWRP, right??
i will try that in this weekend. Last time i remember that i can not boot into twrp. Till now, my devices still unrooted. I flash it back to stock ROM. But, when OTA update notification comes and reboot for installing, it give me bootloop into twrp (not to system), and that's mean my TWRP still inside i just cannot boot into.
so, i'll try that TWRP-1020 this weekend. Thanks.
