Hello everyone, firstly, i'm not a dev. I'm just someone who really enjoying tweaking phones, Windows... So, in this post i'll show you how to install Magisk and GSI rom. Most of resources i took from 4PDA forum. Redmi 8A section on their forum is very active. My phone is Chinese variant (4-64), using MIUI 11 Xiaomi.eu rom / Havoc OS 3.1 GSI
Backup your data before doing anything!!!
Code:

* war, or the current economic crisis caused by you following these
* directions. YOU are choosing to make these modificiations, and

* laugh at you.

#1. Install TWRP
- First, you must unlock phone with Mi Unlock tool. Which can be download from http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html The unlocking process normally will take about 14 days.
- After unlock the phone, flash twrp from @milankragujevic thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-8a/help/twrp-redmi-8a-olivelite-global-miui-10-t4006827
Now you'll have a working twrp.
#2 Install Magisk
1. Download lastest Magisk Flashable Zip from @topjohnwu thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
2. Download patcher tool (thanks to @YaAlex3): http://files.yaalex.tk/patcher.7z
3. Reboot the phone to TWRP, on the computer, open adb and type command:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
This'll pull your current boot image to sdcard
4. Unpack patcher.7z, copy boot.img to this folder. Open boot-patch.exe.
5. You'll have new_boot.img, flash this to boot partition using TWRP.
6. Flash Magisk you download at step 1
Caution: If bootloop happens, you may have to WIPE DATA.
7. Now you should have Magisk installed and working
If you can't patch the boot image file for some reasons, you can download here, choose the correct version, unzip and flash. If bootloop happens, wipe data in TWRP.

#3 Install GSI Roms
Our phone is arm32binder64, so we'll download A64 A/B GSI rom to flash. In github of @phhusson, there is a list of GSI roms: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-%28GSI%29-list
After you choose a rom, we'll follow these steps to flash a GSI rom:
1. Unzip the rom you choose and you'll have image file (.img)
2. Copy to your phone, Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_10.20.2019.zip to stay encrypted (optional, you can backup the /data but you can't setup password)
3. Make a factory reset and flash your unpacked image to system partition using TWRP or Orange Fox.
4. If you like Gapps, you can download Bitgapps or Opengapps (Arm) and flash (optional). But you must resize system partition first (advanced wipe -> repair or change file system -> resize system partition)
5. Flash Permissiver_v5.zip and Certification+Patch.zip
6. Go to Reboot and reboot to bootloader. Flash vbmeta using command:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot
Otherwise, you can flash vbmeta.img directly to vbmeta partition, no difference though.
7. Now your phone should be reboot.
After trying some GSI rom like Pixel, RR, Lineage OS, AOSP... There're some bug like:
- D2TW is present in phhusson setting but not working. Use Magisk module: magisk_force-d2tw.zip to fix
- Auto brightness
- Brightness Slider: Can be fixed using adb:
Code:
adb shell su -c setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness $(cat /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/max_brightness)
or using Terminal:
Code:
su
setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness $(cat /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/max_brightness)
- Camera Recording: You can use 3rd camera apps if bug occurs.
- When set password (pattern, etc...), next time you enter password, password will be wrong. (if you flash disable_dm... above), temp fix: boot to TWRP and remove some files in /data/system then reboot, password will be removed
Code:
locksettings.db-wal
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db
- Fix auto brightness, power consumtion... : copy treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi8a.apk to /system/overlay then set permission 644, reboot.
- No Mac, IP address? Install the correct boot image.
- Some rom specific bugs...
UPDATE: On Havoc OS 3.1 from ExpressLuke, all the bugs are fixed, if any still present, just follow instructions above.
That is. I don't know why our device development is so slow after 2 months... So i decided to write this post. My main language is Vietnamese so if there's a grammar error, feel free to comment below. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I send you my best regards.
I comment. -
I have a global 8th redmi (olivelite), I unlocked the bootloader and continued to install the unofficial TWRP, but there is a problem, my touch screen does not work.
That's why I tried Orangefox and the touch panel worked without problems, I could erase everything except the micro SD, and continued to install Mi Globe 11.0.7, the most recent.
But at the time of finishing and restarting, restart only in recovery, no more, again and again.
Try once installed the rom my globe, flash twrp and force start by fastboor reboot, but it didn't work either.
Also install by fastboot, boot.img of the rom eu, of the global and also the patched by magysk and it didn't work either.
I am NOT looking for root, I am NOT looking for magysk, just install rom MY GLOBE clean, as in all my xiaomis, then I ask.
Has anyone been able to install Xiaomi.eu successfully on your device? With orangefox what was your process? With TWRP and the OTG, do you think I can start?
I would greatly appreciate your response. ):

Hi, have you try to wipe yet? Or try to wipe internal storage? I don't use miglobe but i'm using xiaomi.eu rom and this rom works great for me. And don't flash boot.img because each version is different.

Miui 11.0.7 is not global, it apparently flashed either Chinese, or xiaomi.eu .

He wrote mi-globe which is a rom modified from xiaomi.eu rom. I haven't updated the post yet. By the way i feel somehow MIUI is bad at wifi compare to GSIs. But GSIs have many bug, sometimes they won't boot at all. I noticed that you installed havoc os before, does it have double tab to wake device?

Yeah, the same as mine. I'm just waiting for a device specific rom so that we have a more stable rom, full-features, not miui. I hate the thing that after update i have to re-patch boot image to install magisk, if bootloop then wipe all. That's inconvenient.

I've been using havoc os 10 for the past day and so far I really like it. MIUI is really sluggish compared to havoc. So far I have not really noticed any bugs besides the brightness which was easily fixed using the command in the original post and not being able to apply a screenlock.

Excellent, thanks for your reply.
Could you be a little more specific about the steps you took?
Formatting before installing the ROM, or after?
For example, I followed these steps.
Unlock the bootloader.
Fastboot, install the vbmeta first (or something like that).
install the Orange fox recovery, then the orangefox zip.
Clean EVERYTHING (dalvik cache, intertnal storage, etc), except SD.
Install MY GLobe ROm Olivelite.
Start in recovery, restart again, without changes, continue to start in recovery, and so, for eternity.
I did not do the formatting, and I do not use TWRP because the touch panel does not work with that, so I only have Orangefox as an alternative, could you try to install the MI Globe ROM please? https://mi-globe.com/miui-firmware-rom-builder-features/41/
Thanks for everything.

Hi,
I'm a happy new owner of the redmi note 4 and I've already unlocked the bootloader.
I would like to use google camera, and eventually adblock.
I've seen there are various way to
- install bootloaders (and it seems there are also various boatloaders)
- root the phone
- enable camera2 api, with and without root
- ...
Actually I like to keep the stock rom and the phone as vanilla as possible, as I've read there are redundant issue with custom rom. I also do like the idea of being able to update the phone "normally", which seems to be what you call OTA update . Also, I've seen that some app may not work if some verification fails ?
So basically the question could you explain me a bit the broad picture and what would you recommend ?
Thank's
PS : sorry I'm not super acurate, I rooted my LG G2 years ago and things seems to have evolved a lot since then.

So, you want root and GCam working on your MIUI without breaking OTA updates, is that right?
• Unlock bootloader, flash RedWolf recovery then through Redwolf recovery flash LazyFlasher.
• In Redwolf enable OTA survival.
• Flash Magisk through recovery for root.
• For GCam to work, you need to enable Camera2API in your build.prop. This can be done through a simple Magisk module too. But I must warn you enabling Camera2API on MIUI might break some functionalities of your MIUI stock camera app.
I am using pixel experience 8.1 oreo rom in my redmi notr 4.and i have also install google canera mod.mgcmod5.i have done all the settings but ehen i am trying to take puctures its force closing and lagging..need solution..

If RedWolf succeeds OTA survival, then there is no need. But after OTA if RedWolf is replaced by stock recovery, then yes you'll have to flash everything once again. Refer RedWolf thread for more details on OTA survival.

Sounds right and great, thank's !
Two question.
- I've read somewhere that some custom recovery and/or root may cause some app to fail, notably banking app.
Well I used to use such app on my rooted G2 , but will it remain posible after folowing the process you suggest above ?
about redwolf, there is quite a lot of explainations in theses two links 1 and 2, however I can figure out how to install redwolf ?! what am I suppose to do with the .iso image available for download ? isn't there a step by step install guide somewhere ?
Thank's

Use Magisk for root and once Magisk is installed enable Magisk hide for the banking app, this will hide root from that particular app.
Installing a custom recovery like redwolf :
1. Unlock your phone's bootloader.
2. Download the recovery image file, rename it to "recovery.img" and place in a folder on your computer. Make sure you have working ADB and fastboot drivers installed on this computer.
3. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (Volume Down + Power button)
4. Open command prompt in the folder containing the downloaded recovery. (Shift + Mouse right click)
5. Type the below command into the command prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once inside recovery flash ROM, Magisk, if ROM is MiUI flash lazyflasher too, or phone won't boot. If custom ROM ignore lazyflasher and flash GApps instead.
If recovery installation instructions confuse you there are infinite number of YouTube videos that will help you.

Thank's again , that's awesome!
Maybe a few more question
FIRST
at step 2) how do I make sure I have a working ADB and Fastboot drivers ?
As far as I understand, fastboot drivers should already be installed ; however I suspect ADB not to be installed.
Indeed, I've already unlocked the bootloader with this tutorial, and I can confirm the phone is unlocked from settings > more settings > developper options > Mi locking status.
So basically I've already installed MiUSBDrivers and ran miflashunlock. There are fastboot.exe, fastboot_unlock.exe and AdbWinApi.dll files in the miflash_unlock folder I downloaded and used to unlock, but I haven't used any of these later 3 files.
I have found this post to install ADB
SECOND
at step 4), the best would be to place the recovery image downladed from here into the folder containing ADB downloaded just above right ?
Then, go on with step 5)
THIRD
If everything went well, my phone is supposed to reboot in redwolf recovery, ok.
but whart do you mean by "Once inside recovery flash ROM" ?
Why am I suposed to flash a rom ?
To my understanding, I already have a rom, miui, and do not want to change for the moment.
Should I download the "Full Rom" from here, or the "Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File" rom from here ? If so, what souhld I do with the rom; where sould I place it, on the computer, on the phone ?
Or do I need to flash ROM only if I want to change/upgrade my rom ?
FOURTH
To flash Magisk and Lazyflasher.
I understood that redwolf recovery comes with Magisk, so I assume I'll only have to go to "install" tab of redwolf, and I'll find the Magisk file to flash.
Ok what about Lazyflasher ? is it also provided with redwolf ?
Or should I download it ? and if so where should I place the file ?
FIFTH (and last)
I assume once installed from recovery, Magisk will show himself as an app/icon on the "desktop", and I'll be able to selectively enable Magisk hide for the banking app.
Thank's again for your help.
Sorry if I have too many questions, I'm a little rusted, and prefer having a comprehensive picture of the porcess before jumping into it, and avoid one more post entitled helpppp pleeeeeese I bricked my phone

So basically I've already installed MiUSBDrivers and ran miflashunlock. There are fastboot.exe, fastboot_unlock.exe and AdbWinApi.dll files in the miflash_unlock folder I downloaded and used to unlock, but I haven't used any of these later 3 files.
I have found this post to install ADB
SECOND
at step 4), the best would be to place the recovery image downladed from here into the folder containing ADB downloaded just above right ?
Then, go on with step 5)
THIRD
If everything went well, my phone is supposed to reboot in redwolf recovery, ok.
but whart do you mean by "Once inside recovery flash ROM" ?
Why am I suposed to flash a rom ?
To my understanding, I already have a rom, miui, and do not want to change for the moment.
Should I download the "Full Rom" from here, or the "Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File" rom from here ? If so, what souhld I do with the rom; where sould I place it, on the computer, on the phone ?
Or do I need to flash ROM only if I want to change/upgrade my rom ?
FOURTH
To flash Magisk and Lazyflasher.
I understood that redwolf recovery comes with Magisk, so I assume I'll only have to go to "install" tab of redwolf, and I'll find the Magisk file to flash.
Ok what about Lazyflasher ? is it also provided with redwolf ?
Or should I download it ? and if so where should I place the file ?
FIFTH (and last)
I assume once installed from recovery, Magisk will show himself as an app/icon on the "desktop", and I'll be able to selectively enable Magisk hide for the banking app.
Thank's again for your help.
Sorry if I have too many questions, I'm a little rusted, and prefer having a comprehensive picture of the porcess before jumping into it, and avoid one more post entitled helpppp pleeeeeese I bricked my phone pen

ADB/Fastboot Drivers
Looks like you don't have ADB/Fastboot installed system wide. Although it is completely fine to use adb/fastboot in a folder, installing it system wide is much more convenient because you can open a command window in any folder and execute ADB/Fastboot commands. [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979”]Here's the link[/URL] to download the system wide installer. Install it and REBOOT your PC.
Flashing RedWolf
Once drivers are installed and PC rebooted, connect phone in Fastboot mode and follow my previous instructions. Also now you can open command prompt in any folder and execute the commands since ADB/Fastboot is installed system wide.
Flashing ROM
Sorry if I confused you there in the previous post. If you wish to stick with your current MIUI ROM then you don't need to flash any ROM file.
Flashing Lazyflasher
You MUST flash lazyflasher since you want to stay with MIUI. If you install a custom recovery on MIUI without flashing lazyflasher, the phone will not boot and will be stuck at the MI logo. I've attached the file.
Flashing Magisk
Flash Magisk after lazyflasher. You may download the latest package from Magisk thread or use RedWolf's built in Magisk package as you said and update it later through the Magisk manager app. And yes, you can select which apps can be Magisk hidden.

Awesome !
Great to know that I should fisrt flash lazyflasher and then magisk.
Stupid, probably last question
Should I do everything up to and incliding flashing lazyflsher, rebot normally, and then reboot again in redwolf and flash magisk ?
of is this extra zealous ?
Thanks

While it can all be flashed at one go, I suggest you to flash LF and once boot your device successfully and reboot to redwolf and flash Magisk afterwards.

Excellent !
so
- I did installed redwolf recovery - changed settings as advised here
- flashed lazyflasher
- reboot -> wokrs I'm back on miui
- reboot in redwolf and flashed magisk
- reboot into android, installed rootchek, I'm rooted
- hide magisk from magisk manager for my apps --> working
Everything works
Further questions :
- Am I suppose to clean cache at some stage ? I can still do it now ?
- Is there some recomended module for magisk ? (not sure what they are for)
- as for everything else, I've seen many options to enable camera2api. Which one would you recomend ? is "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" the only needed change or this treat rises something this
- is there a recomended version/release of google camera to use with miui9 global, latest update (not developper) (I've seen various reported issues depending on version/release)
- any other must/nice/interesting hacks to fully enjoy this phone ?
- any security recomendation ? (re-locking the bootloader ? instally some utilities... ?)
thanks
after that, I'll be done

Clean cache not required.
Magisk modules are MODs for your system but they are done without tampering your system. (Systemless MODs).
Try Dolby atmos ZTE Axon 7 audio MOD module, YouTube vanced module (100% Adfree, background play)..etc
Use Arnova's GCam.
Never ever relock bootloader with a custom recovery or custom ROM. Else irreversible brick.
I've repeated too much stuff that has been posted in the forum already, if you have any further doubts search the forum or use Google.
Flash through redwolf the attached file to enable camera2api. If you want to uninstall it later go to magisk manager and delete it.
Cheers.

Hi dude
I'm almost done but back to square 0, with blinking black screen at boot !
No crisis, I can still go to redwolf recovery, as well as fastboot.
How it happend ?
In magisk manager (on miui) I checked what modules were available in the download panel, and tried "Google Pixel 2 Experience" or something similar.
On reboot, the mi logo is displayed, then I have a black screen blinking on and off, without mi logo, just black, on and off
I thus wanted to unistal the mod with magisk module uninstaller, but the install fails and return that "magisk is not installed" and "magisk is required for this mod"
So I obviously couldn't try to uninstall the supposed failing module
I thus rebooted in redwold and installed magisk from redwolf (the included release), things went well
However, I still cant install magisk module uninstaller, getting the same error as above.
I took my chance and try to re-install magisk from the zip filed I downloaded, the install process was successfull, but I still can't install magisk mod uninstaller, and the black screen issue persist.
Lastly, I took my chance and try to re-install lazy flasher, the install process was successfull, but the black-screen issue persist.
To be honest, I'm a bit sctuck now.
What may be the right procedure to solve this problem ?
Am I screwed and do I have to reflash a whole rom ?
If so Should I do it from redwolf, and how ?
Or should I do it from the pc with fastboot, and how ?
Thanks for your directions
ps: i was interested by pixel 2 experience module as at it was written that it was compatible with mido and provides camera2api, which might have been a nice combo.
ps 2 : I also did installed dolby as you suggested, it worked but the demo crashed to app
ps 3 : I also did installed youtube vaccant, but I couldn't see any new app and my original youtube still had add and couldn't play in the back... not sure it reveals something on the effectiveness of magisk...
I'm a noob, excuse me if this is a stupid question
its not a stupid question but an obvious one
since you are new I will write cliff note steps in order for you to understand better
1. unlocking bootloader (needs miui permission 72 hours waiting time (it can be more) ~ verifying Sim to Miui account ~ enabling oem unlock under developer options
2. flashing Twrp ! ( you need Minimal Adb & fastboot 1.4.2 ~ in order to either BOOT temporarily in twrp (recovery) or flash Recovery to POCO
3. booting in to twrp (power+ VolumeUP button ~! hold until you see Twrp logo)
4. assuming you are in MIUI10, flash magisk19.3.zip, Magisk not only root your device, infact in order to do so, it will first disable dm-verity!
5. now device is rooted
HOWEVER!!!
if this is NOT WHAT YOU ARE ASKING
then there is a file called Lazyflasher.zip , if you flash this in twrp, it should disable dm-verity
more ?
use AIK (kitchen) or Super Kitchen to EXTRACT the kernel image in to differen files and alter settings in fstab and/or ramdisk and REPACK your kernel again in to .img file

yes i am on poco f1 using custom rom
in twrp
1. flash vendor firmware https://mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/beryllium-9.6.27-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip
2. flash the custom rom
3. flash GAPPS ( opengapps.org) take ARM64>9.0>Micro package
4. i flash Optimus Drunk kernel 26aug19.zip (optional)
5. MAGISK19.3.zip flashable
6. clean delvik/cache and REBOOT
however if you are in MIUI10 just perform step 5&6
first REBOOT may go in to BOOTLOOP but eventually MIUI10 will boot.
HOWEVER ALWAYS TAKE BACKUP!

Are you using K30 or POCO X2?
How did you flash this ROM? Did you root it? Were you able to boot after flashing magisk?

K30
Through twrp they provided. Wipe cache after flashing.
Yes. Don't flash magisk through twrp. It causes bootloop. You have to patch the kernel and manually flash it.
1. Extract boot.img from the rom.zip
2. Install magisk manager app. Connect to any working network and open magisk manager.
3. Patch the boot.img from 1. It will generate magisk_patched.img to /storage/emulated/0/Download
4. (If you have twrp installed, go to 4.1)
Copy the magisk_patched.img to your pc's adb and fastboot folder and flash it through fastboot.
4.1 Boot to twrp, flash magisk_patched.img to "Boot"
Sorry if my english is bad

i cant seem to install miui eu, stuck at redmi logo for hours, any idea guys, already format data
Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global Rom but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx, due to support wifi 2.4 ghz only. (Because bluetooth interfering with wifi 2.4 Ghz and our device doesn't support 5ghz wifi)
Compare to MIUI, Havoc OS has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: no delay with wifi bluetooth interference
+ Doesn't have bloatware, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk and root.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI and extract to get system
From Official Havoc OS here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/a64-ab/ (Newer Version)
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature. If it doesn't work, then try an alternative way:
Open /vendor/bin/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and add the string:
Code:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 1 5
then reboot
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
How to Update
- Flash system image over, no wipe require. Just reboot.
Bugs
I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.
Additions
- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from https://vancedapp.com/; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here
- To fix Recording, from Misc features -> Force Timestamp Source, choose Clock boottime
And that's all. Now enjoy!
I gifted my sister this phone so i don't have device to test anymore. Still, sometime i'll test if i can. The guide still works so enjoy flashing!!!
Great. I've been using havocOs for almost two months now and it's great. Much quicker and smoother than stock miui. Only problem I've been trying to find a fix for is setting up a lock screen.
Thanks for sharing the dt2w module for magisk. Is there some sort of setting I need to mess with to get it to work? I've installed the module and activated it in magisk but dt2w still won't work. I also activated the dt2w setting that comes with havocOs 3.1 under " xiaomi features " but that never worked from the beginning.

Did you flash no_encrypt zip? It'll make set up screen password impossible because encryption is disable. I have clean flashed Havoc OS and confirm d2tw module working, despite i don't active the xiaomi option in setting.

There is a trick, you can enable encryption through Settings -> security -> Encryption and credentials then encrypt phone. If it doesn't work, then read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Or you can do the whole process again, clean flash and do as my thread. May be d2tw starts working.
Thank you sir
thanks a lot for this
can you tell me how to upgrade our 32bit os to 64bit

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

I've considered making a complete tutorial on installing recovery, root, & rom installation for this phone. Next time I go back to stock I probably will make a video. Until then you can definitely follow the tutorials on this forum to install a custom recovery and rom. Personally I would recommend installing OrangeFox recovery because TWRP has touchscreen issues sometimes.
You will have to unlock the bootloader first which takes 14 days if you have not already.
The tool to unlock the Bootloader is here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Once your bootloader is unlocked you're ready to install OrangeFox custom recovery, the files and instructions can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...t/orangefox-recovery-xiaomi-redmi-8a-t4032583
Once you have OrangeFox recovery installed you can follow this tutorial in this thread to install HavocOS rom or the other thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
Try it out and then come back and let us know what problems you run into

I'm wondering if that d2tw module not working for me has something similar to do with how the touch screen becomes unresponsive in TWRP for some people. What recovery did you use on your redmi?

I used TWRP then moved to Orange Fox. Everything working fine, may be your screen is different. In d2tw module, there's a file called readme.md: Manual usage : - enable $ set-dt2w 1 - disable $ set-dt2w 0
Just try it -))))))))
Great GSI. I have this one problem though. I cannot backup anything from TWRP. Is it really normal because it's encrypted?
createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255

Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global 10.3 but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx.
Compare to MIUI, Havoc 3.1 has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: almost the same as the speed of my network
+ Doesn't have some bloatwares, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk.
And a lot that i dont write all here.

Bro having oragane fox recovery installed on my redmi 8a device, can you please tell me at which step of flashing gsi we have to flash vbmeta.img and boot. Img

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

Boot.img and vbmeta are done before flashing the gsi. I'd recommend reading this thread first for better understanding

I'm getting the same error with attempting to make a back up in orangefox. After seeing you have the same problem now I'm assuming it is indeed a problem with encryption? I was able to make backups successfully before my phone was encrypted so I still have an old back up on my PC. However it would be nice to be able to make a new fresh back up.

That was weird. In stock ROM, I can back up the /data/media just fine even when encrypted. But after having Havoc OS, I cannot do that anymore. Tried on both TWRP and OrangeFox. I can, with an unencrypted phone, but I do not feel comfortable without a lockscreen. Tried all things I have researched on that error. Not one worked. Might as well just stick to Titanium Backup for backups.
Overall, great GSI. Loading is faster than on stock (with the internet too)! Though, I have another issue with regards to the locking of apps, so that the app would not be cleared. Speaking of clearing apps, it is tiring to scroll left just to see the "Clear All" option in Recents. Autostart too.
I know you are not the developer, but just letting you know my concerns.

The use and installation of this software product is at the exclusive responsibility of the user.I am not responsible for any damage that may occur to your device resulting from the use of this software.This software product is "as is". Its first goal is to allow the xiaomi.eu Rom be installed via recovery.If you have any doubts regarding the above lines, you should not use or install it.
Recovery:
Unofficial release 3.7.0 for Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite and Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G devices. Status : StableVersion : 3.7.0.4GRelease Date : 2022.12.26Features:

Notes:
I concluded that custom roms (without Miui) are unable to decrypt /data with this recovery.Checking LineageOS and ArrowOS, it seems that they use a different encryption mode than Miui.I haven't found how to check on Twrp booting what encryption mode /data uses and adjust to it.Therefore, I have uploaded another release for non Miui devices.Can't tested by myself, I don't know if it decrypts fine.However, it is likely the Miui variant will work correctly on the rest.
About official TWRP: The current official release https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimi10i.html does not work anymore since Miui 13. Use instead this TWRP.

Nice work
Flashed R2 release, but it doesn't decrypt my data (it doesn't ask about my PIN). I am Polish xiaomi.eu translator and tester, and will ask Xiaomi.eu team about recovery ROM if the storage is decrypted... but can't for now...
Also, I was unable to boot to system after flash that TWRP, I had to use OrangeFox to be able to boot.

Hello. I'm Spanish xiaomi.eu translator and user.
I don't understand how is possible your issue...
When I boot TWRP it asks me for the PIN to decrypt.
I would not have uploaded the image without testing it first.
Also the reboot buttons do what they say..
I have so far tested it without installing, because I have not yet dumped the Stock Recovery partition.
In theory, it is supposed to work exactly the same in boot mode as in flash mode.
Can you try it without installing?
As stated in the third disclaimer lines:
"Its intention is to allow the Rom xiaomi.eu be installed via recovery."
I retired here due to lack of free time and have only become involved now for this reason.
Best regards

Same situation, unfortunately... (except the reboot button which boots system, as i've just booted recovery, not flashed).
Edit: removed all screen lock methods I've set, still same. Looks like it isn't able to decrypt my data even without screen lock... Maybe something works differently between beta (which I use) and stable (which you use) release?
Edit2: logs there with set PIN as screen lock method https://miuipolska.pl/d/Orjon/gauguin_twrp.zip
Edit 3 24.07. 9:00am CEST: reboot to system works fine now after flashing your recovery, maybe the fact i've used "fastboot reboot-recovery" command was the reason to fail before...

Your logs do not seem to give relevant information about the issue.
It is clear that booting are completely ignoring the security lockout..
During the night I dumped and unpacked the stock recovery.
After studying it, I found nothing significant except that the kernel is not exactly the same as in boot.img.
I'm now downloading the latest weekly release to unpack it and compare vs stable release.

Lineage os data decrypted successfully.
Unfortunately, the weekly xiaomi.eu does not decipher the date.
For @kacskrz , @nolan2112 and anyone else using weekly xiaomi.eu:
I would appreciate the test of the new Release 3 I just uploaded.
Thanks in advance.
@tuxafgmur Unfortunately, nothing changed. I've posted logs on the xiaomi.eu thread.
The latest version also cannot decode the date. firmware weekly 22.7.21
New release 3.6.2.1B uploaded
In addition to some other minor changes,
fixed decryption on xiaomi.eu weekly.

Revision

Format: Zip file to install from TWRP.
Some reviews.
Since xiaomi.eu rom replaces boot Logo on global devices, showing "Redmi"
this release includes options to switch logo between "MI" and "Redmi".
Each has two versions to choose from:
1 - Factory stock.2 - Like stock but hiding the padlock shown when bootloader is open.
The only recovery that works (and decrypts) on the newest MIUI 13 Android 12. Thank you!
Fantastic work, congratulations!
