HOW TO FLASH
Power off your phone and press volume down key and press power key to boot to Fastboot Mode
Download Fastboot tools..
open a command line(cmd or powershell in windows) and change directory to the directory where fastboot tool locate(cd PATH/TO/FASTBOOT/TOOL), then you can use fastboot simplely
use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [PATH TO THE IMAGE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED]
to flash(or grab that file into the cmd window, it will automaticly fill the full path of that file)
then use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
to boot the recovery(or just manually press volume up key and power key to reboot to recovery)
because this recovery is not support encrypted data partition, you can download flashable zip at computer and use
Code:
adb push THE/ZIP/FILE/YOU/DOWNLOAD /tmp/
(/tmp is a RAM-disk, means that the size of this partition is your free ram), you can push the flashable zip into your phone and flash it in recovery(or use otg storage devices, but the original author not mention it and Im not testing it)
IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED,but you wanna try it
You can use
Code:
fastboot boot [PATH TO THE IMAGE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED]
to only boot the recovery(not flash recovery)
(not sure 100% success)
Do anything on YOUR OWN RISK

Did you change TARGET_OTA_ASSERT_DEVICE or whatever from xiaomimi9 to cepheus? If not, it's still broken in some way.

Maybe not , I cant upgrade by manually download full size rom and click reboot to install at the stock updater, but you can download at computer and use
Code:
adb push THE/ZIP/FILE/YOU/DOWNLOAD /tmp/
(/tmp is a RAM-disk, means that the size of this partition is your free ram), you can push full size package into it and flash it in recovery
ps: the recovery doesnt support data decrypt, and I cant use sideload to flash these zips(TAT)

Did not try...... I am fine with Xiaomi.eu atm and have no sense in installing everything again. [emoji16]
So if you flash from OTG it would be possible to backup??

Is this twrp support format data to remove encryption?

Hi all,
I have mi9 with 8gb china version.
1. Can I use this tmrw version?
2. If yes, I would flash gapps micro because currently google contact won't sync. Maybe any users in here have experience, can be sync or not with this
