If I understand correctly, in theory, you can install magisk manager and then use it to patch the boot.img. After that you can go to fastboot to use cable to flash the patched boot.img. If your bootloader is unlocked, this will succeed. TWRP is not needed.
Btw, I haven't tested it.

[LR.Team] TWRP for Clover

This is the known working TWRP that supports encryption (no need to wipe data) & also it can root the pad within itself.
The root is achieved with Magisk 17.1, no need to flash any encryption disabler or anything, it simply works!!
I present you: [LR. Team] TWRP
Credits to original devs & authors, not me.
Download in my folder: https://mega.nz/folder/cMAT3Q4b#7CbPV7sbEuSEdP7cehXJ-w
FEATURES said:
* Delete redundant languages, keep English, add Chinese language, default Chinese.
* Modify the default configuration, for example, the default time zone is East Eight Zone, default screen brightness, default vibration, default 24 hours, default return button on the right, default Chinese and so on.
* Modify the default configuration file path to reduce the possibility of conflicts with other people's compiled versions.
* Adjust and optimize the Chinese text and description, and re-edit all the items one by one, which is more accurate, understandable and humanized. Also added display mtp enable off display, file operation result display, operation page title display, permission description when modifying permissions, etc. UI text display.
* Modify the unlocking interface and adjust the height of the sliding unlocking bar, which can effectively prevent misoperation (the original unlocking bar and the operating unlocking bar are of the same height. When the unlocking is completed, the sliding may be repeated, and the corresponding action is directly operated).
* Open more partition backup and restore, such as modern baseband partition, bootloader, persist, cust and other partitions, easy to backup the underlying files before flashing, can restore the underlying files after flashing.
* Add .bin and .mbn format image files, so you don't need a zip brush package, you can write the underlying file. The original version only supports the flashing of .img format image files. (Be sure to pay attention to the selected partition!!!!)
* Solve the problem of interface jam when using the simulation operation (the simulation operation is mainly for testing the theme, and no actual operation).
* Add the manual installation root function in Advanced Options > root system. Add a display root system option on this basis for manual operation.
* Added the ability to unenforce encryption, in advanced options > Unforce Encryption. You can remove the official system to force encryption and cancel the check.
* Change the built-in root mode and add magisk as the default root mode.
* Fixed button and button operations for some interfaces.
* The adb/usb debug mode is enabled by default, which is convenient for operating the phone through the computer command line in rec mode.
* MTP is enabled by default. In the rec state, you can also connect your phone to your computer to facilitate file copying.
* Modify the logo interface, modify the header of the main interface page, and add the display phone model and team name, author name.
* Fix some logical relationships and modify some interface displays.
* Added clear root function
* Added clear power-on password function
* Added clear battery information function
* Added signature boot function
* Added restore official rec function

FLASHING PROCEDURE said:
1. Working brain
2. Common sense
3. Common knowledge of flashing via fastboot
4. UNLOCK THE MI PAD 4
5. Use cmd line: fastboot flash recovery [name of the file]
6. First reboot to recovery: fastboot boot [name of the file]
IF TOUCHSCREEN IS NON-RESPONSIVE ON FIRST RECOVERY BOOT, FORCE REBOOT IT USING [VOL UP + POWER].
After flashing, if you encounter Chinese UI, press Language then select English.
Root menu is in the [Advanced] .

Enjoy!!
Thank you for presenting us. But I'm still waiting for the bootloader to be unlocked. I will try it after my phone's damnable bootloader is open.
But I have something to ask,
You said:
Xposed still not working, be it via direct flash or magisk -> BOOTLOOP!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't really get it. Do you mean we can't use this recovery to flash Xposed, if we want it, we must use Magisk to install it. Or do you just mean Mi Pad currently has no way to access Xposed Framework, installing Xposed will cause bootloop regardless of installing methods (direct flash and Magisk)?

You can flash anything just like normal TWRP, but the ROM (I'm talking about MIUI 9 latest stable) isn't compatible with Xposed (zip/magisk)..
No matter what you do (recovery zip / magisk), it'll give you bootloop..
I heard the xiaomi.eu ROM can use xposed but I'm sticking to official stable.

What are the exact steps for permanently removing encryption? If I format data in TWRP, will I be able to boot back in to the system without having to reflash the rom?
Encryption is really annoying, I'm currently on the mokee rom with this TWRP installed. Any help is welcomed, thanks.

AFAIK just reformat /data, that's all.... no need to reflash ROM....
but you'll have to reinstall your apps....
xposed also needs an unencrypted /data partition, or it'll just bootloop....
Thank you for this. Much appreciated my friend.

Hi, I've been trying the recovery, but it does not seem to stick ?
The command line returns a successful process, but then I turn off the tablet, and try the buttons combo, but it just boots to the system.
Is there any requirement for the system version ? What could I be missing ?
Thanks for any help

you could try this command after succesful flash: fastboot boot name-of-recovery-file
then try to reboot > reboot to recovery inside the TWRP to see if its sticks...

The Ultimate Guide for Redmi K20 Pro [Raphael]
Fake Global ROM to Chinese ROM to Global ROM/EU/Mi-Room
ATTENTION!*All that you will do with the phone is guided by this guide - it lies in the area of ​​your personal responsibility only.*Neither I nor other members of the forum, not the administration of the forum are responsible.*
If you do not understand something and the written guide below - contact the LS to knowledgeable colleagues, as I did!*Hide created for the Chinese version of the phone K20 Pro - Global ROM.*(for India it will not work!)*
I will explain in stages what to do, giving my comments in my simple language: what?*What for?*Why?*Don't be scared that there are a lot of points - I tried to chew everything up.
So what do we have?*
• K20 Pro - Global ROM (Installed by the Chinese firmware, with no updates, poor translation, with not working Gpay)*
• You must create an official mi account and link the device to it.*
What do we need?:*
• Installation Recovery - Orange fox (Advanced replacement of standard Recovery, and installation of any firmware) - Wildly necessary thing!*
• Installing the firmware MI Room 9.7.4*
• Proper operation of the GPAY through the patch*
Introduction)*
So, you got a phone from China.*What do you have in your hands?*This is the device on which the Chinese put the left firmware and at the same time did not unlock the bootloader officially - which is not compatible with the transition to any, really good firmware.*
Before we begin - the most important thing!*(further quote from the forum):
ATTENTION!*CHINESE VERSION REDMI K20 PRO CAN BE BLOCKED ONLY ON THE CHINESE FIRMWARE!*Before carrying out any operation, read the materials that are referenced in the header themes, check Search by topic, and if not found the answer to your question, or do not understand something, ask more experienced users.*
Do you understand?*Now read again 20 and memorize this phrase!*
INSTALLATION OF THE CHINESE OFFICIAL FIRMWARE AND LOCKER DOWNLOAD AND UNLOCK!*
What for?*Your phone needs to be unlocked officially.*To do this, you must put the official firmware and file for unlocking officially.*
What is needed (all in the header):*
•Firmware file - *10.3.6.0 China Fastboot
• Program MiFlash 2018.11.15.0 (we need administrator rights) - a program to install Fastboot-type firmware and lock the phone loader.*
• Driver for computer - ADB Driver Lite
• Program - miflash_unlock*
• Phone*
• Type C Cable*
1) Download all of the above and check that everything downloaded*in the right “size”.*
2) Install MiFlash 2018.11.15.0*on the C drive:
3) Go to MiFlash 2018.11.15.0 - it will offer to install the drivers.*Do not hesitate to install everything - exit the program!*
4) Install ADB Driver Lite (by default it is set by MiFlash but will not be worse if you additionally install the latest driver from the header)
5) - CORRECTLY unpacking the firmware 10.3.6.0 China Fastboot!*By default, you download it with the extension .tgz!*The file you downloaded will be called raphael_images_V10.3.6.0.PFKCNXM_20190516.0000.00_9.0_cn_ed862b8182.tgz*
- Unzip this .tgz file and get a file with the .tar extension.*The full name will be - raphael_images_V10.3.6.0.PFKCNXM_20190516.0000.00_9.0_cn_ed862b8182.tar.*
- Unzip this .tar file and get a folder named raphael_images_V10.3.6.0.PFKCNXM_20190516.0000.00_9.0_cn.*Here we will work with this folder in the future!*You need to move it to drive C:!*It is important!*
6) Switch the phone to debug mode via USB.*(I think there will be no problems here)
7) Transfer the phone to FASTBOOT mode.*Turn off the device.*Clamp the power button + volume rocker down.*If there is a hare and the inscription Fastboot then everything is OK!*
8) In MiFlash, press the Select button, specify the path to the folder with the firmware raphael_images_V10.3.6.0.PFKCNXM_20190516.0000.00_9.0_cn and click ok.*
9) Something like this should appear in the line:*С: \ raphael_images_V10.3.6.0.PFKCNXM_20190516.0000.00_9.0_cn
10) Put a clean all and lock checkbox at the bottom.*This parameter means that the*
phone will be erased while all data is erased, and the bootloader is locked.*(only for the Chinese version of the phone)*
11) We connect the phone (in fastboot mode) to the computer through the official drawstring.*And without any USB hubs and adapters!*
12) Press the Refresh button.
13) If everything is correct then a line should appear with the id of the phone and the status ready.*
14) So, the phone is recognized.*The path to the folder with the firmware is specified.*Galka clean all and lock costs.*Press the flash button.*
15) The phone starts to sew!*Do not unplug the power cord!*don't touch anything at all.*Do not breathe!*The firmware time is about 10 minutes.*
16) At the end of the firmware, complete will appear in the line with the execution status and the phone will restart (up to 10 minutes) to the initial welcome screen.*Disconnect the phone.*
17) Hooray you flashed to the Chinese firmware and officially blocked the phone.*Let's start the activation and application for unlocking.
18) The first thing that will meet you is the screen in Chinese.*With two button in Chinese.*Push first you are asked to enter something ... This is the password from your mi account.*We enter.*
19) Tap on the second button connect to the Wi-Fi or skip.*
20) Choose the English language.*Customize your phone.*
21) Transfer the phone to the developer mode.*In the settings of the developer, we go into the unlock status (I don’t remember exactly how to speak English).*We see the closed lock, below we see the button.*Click on it!*And we will register the phone for the official unlock (Wi-Fi should be turned off and mobile networks on).*
22) Next, go to the mi account and check that your mobile phone is tied.*Are you convinced?*I recommend to look at the corresponding topic on the forum with the video.
23) On the PC, run miflash_unlock.*Log in to your mi account.*The phone is transferred to the Fastboot mode (point 7) and connected to the computer.*Press the unlock button.*At the same time, we confirm a bunch of times that we are sure that we want to do this.*All your data will be destroyed.*
24) The PC starts to unlock and at some point gives a message that the unlock failed and should be tried again after 168 hours.
25) Congratulations, you activated the counter before unlocking.*You walk with the phone 7 days on the Chinese firmware.*Is it hard?*Well no.*You can take the apk with Google services from the page on this forum and install what you need.*
26) It's been 168 hours, and you're ready to unlock.*
27) But before you do ... Update your phone over the air to the latest version - nowhere on the forum it is not written (I have not seen) but this is important.*I will explain later why!*Remember this item.*
28) Start and repeat paragraph 23. And lo and behold!*The unlock process has begun.*And at the end there is an inscription that the phone is unlocked.
29) Now, when you boot your phone, you should see Unlocked.*Check out what it is!*
30) Configure the phone again.*Turn on USB debugging mode.*
31) Further, in my opinion the most dreary, because the forum has a lot of conflicting information.*I will tell you how I did.*But before continuing, I can say that since you have already received unlock, it is almost impossible to turn the phone around (but everything is possible)*
32) So, download three things:*
- TWRP-3.3.1*
- OrangeFox R10.0 Recovery*
- MI Room 9.7.4 firmware
33) Everything that you downloaded in the zip archives.
34) Unzip -TWRP-3.3.1 to drive C. Transfer the phone to Fastboot (item 7) and connect it to the computer.*We find in the unpacked folder TWRP file with the extension .bat.*in different versions of TWRP called differently.*I called Flash_twrp.bat*
35) And before*proceeding, I’ll*remind you about clause 27).*The fact is that I could not install TWRP without updating over the air.*Therefore, you must first install the update.*And on the firmware 10.3.6.0 China Fastboot.*- It will not work to put TWRP and you will have to do a lot again*
36) Start and get the menu in my Russian language, where we select the auto installation (1).*After a couple of seconds, your phone should reboot into TWRP recovery.*There we choose the language if asked.*
37) And
so, we are in the main menu of TWRP.*We need to take a series of actions*(in a strict order)
38) Go to the Wipe point and select FORMAT DATA -> svayp -> type yes.*The formatting process takes a couple of seconds.*What does this item do in my understanding?*He decrypts the data on the phone, which is necessary to throw on the phone firmware and Orange fox.*
39) Exit the main menu by clicking REBOOT Recovery.*The phone should reboot into the main menu again.*And on the PC, it should be defined as a phone with Internal storage.*Go to the Internal storage on the PC.*See the TWRP folder?*If yes, then everything is OK!*
40) On the phone, go to the Wipe point and select Advanced wipe -> svayp -> select all the items*except System and OTG* svayp
41) Exit the main menu, press REBOOT -> Recovery.*The phone should reboot into the main menu again.*
42) On the PC, go to the phone -> Internal storage and next to the TWRP folder, throw the downloaded OrangeFox R10.0 recovery directly into the zip archive.*
43) On the phone, go to the Install item and see our Orange Fox.*Choose it.*AND THERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT!*He will ask you to install two checkboxes before installation: one of them Verification of the ZIP signature (in English) and so this checkbox must be removed, otherwise the error will be.*We start the installation.*Your phone must reboot into Orange FOX.*
44) So what is Orange Fox?*This same TWRP is simply much more convenient and stable.*
45) On the PC, go to the phone -> Internal storage and next to the TWRP folder, throw the downloaded firmware to the worlds.
46) In Orange Fox, select this firmware, also remove the checkmark ZIP signature check (in English).*And start the process of installing the firmware.*
47) Hooray you got the best, in my opinion, firmware)*
48) Disconnect from the computer.*Customize your phone.*
49) Installing a patch for Gpay is easy.*Straight from the phone, download the patch file.*
50) Put the phone in orange fox recovery mode.*Turn off the device.*We press the power button + volume rocker UP (not to be confused with the power button + volume rocker DOWN for Fastboot boot mode)*
51) In the Downloads folder we see our patch and install (also remove the Check Signature ZIP checkbox).*
52) Congratulations!

Yes, you can flash it with TWRP. That's the multilanguage rom with Google Play preinstalled and without the bloatware of the Chinese version.

Hi. I really appreciate the post.. just one question though? What are the firmwares for? Coz if I am not mistaken, to be able to install twrp and root, all I need is to unlock the bootloader then flash the twrp.img. Please enlighten me.. thank you..
---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------
Also, will bootloader unlocking and installing twrp wipe everything I have in my internal storage?

The firmwares are the stock roms, should you need to recover the phone. The fastboot ROM is the absolute failsafe and flashes almost all partitions. This can be updated using scripts within the package or using the Mi flash tool. The recovery roms will just update the system partition and flashed using recovery, either stock or TWRP or any other recovery.
Installing TWRP won't touch anything on the phone except the recovery partition. However bootloader unlocking will perform a factory reset. In theory the internal storage should remain untouched, but best to back it up.

I can't fix quickly any bug because i haven't free time....
Don't tag me about bugs.. I will not answer.. when find some free time, i will try to fix if anything new come out!
! USER NOTICE!
It's a ported build. For me is ok for daily use.
I'm using it without issues..
Flash this ROM if you know what are you doing and how MIUI10 working.
It's your responsibility if any issue mess up your files e.t.c...!
#EXTRAS#
Rom by default is EU localized with EU Theme servers full and free.
If you want Chinese Themes and stuff flash one zip of these, inside archive below. Clean Theme app all data..
If you want Chinese Full Themes is better to flash the zip right after installation, before first boot.
-Themes and different Locality's zips-

#Kernels#
Rom on board has AEX kernel by shivatejapeddi. If you want to try another i have made 3 versions.
BS 6.6.1+ OC
AEX alternative
LOS kernel.
Download zip below, unzip it on your phone or PC and flash each boot.img, through your TWRP by selecting : Install>Files storage>Install Image down left>select boot.img> and flash it at boot.
Done...

About themes.. some Themes are available.. some others doesn't..if you want more Themes go with China's version zip
Thanks for trying my rom..
it worked , thanx ! Really one of the smoothest roms I've tried for this device. Fingerprint is snappy, no bugs untill now ... as for battery life mine is on about 85 % health and i'm currently explorig the ROM all the time but it seems good .... Thank U, wanted to change my phone but now I will reconsider
Thanks a lot Cris! Now, I owned a Mi Mix 2S but I can't forget my beloved LeMax 2. This rom works like a charm but my fingerprint sensor didn't respond; I supposed it's an issue on my side.
Best regards
Unable to download from Google Drive - download limit exceeded. Can anybody upload to Mega or other hosting?
is there a way to change lockscreen wallpaper or icon set ? Is this a MIUI bug or there is some workaround? Thanks!
Hello, I'm using rom is great so far, except for a problem that miui has in the Chinese version that does not allow the use of unlicensed launchers. I did a research and saw that this does not happen in the global version of miui, is there any way to circumvent this?

There is a workaround for this..
I have made up to 10.000flashes testing my builds and i have faced this twice..
After to Many tries with Qfil kernel's etc finally I've found tge trick accidentally..
Flash clean my EUI30S-V17 ALL Formats including internal storage... with my TWRP 3.2.1-1 with tools..
Then go ti fingerprint settings abd make fingerprint calibration (lower setting)
for many times..uo to 15... after 12 time usually working..
Then flash any other rim you want and enjoy..
This worked for me twice so far.
I hope to work for you..

[Guide][GSI][10.0] How to get Havoc OS 3.12 GSI running on Redmi 8A

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 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?

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 to me.
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 from ExpressLuke and extract to get system imagehttps://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/HavocOS/Ten/A64/AB/
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.
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
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 vanced.app; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.

And that's all. Now enjoy!

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

Great GSI. I have this one problem though. I cannot backup anything from TWRP. Is it really normal because it's encrypted?

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.

64 bit FOR REDMI 7A

64-bit Base Package For GSI Redmi 7A
Flashing instructions ?
• Boot to recovery
• Flash given zip file (Downloads section)
• Wipe system
• Flash any arm64 GSI of your choice to system image
• Format data, wipe cache
• Flash gapps, magisk, etc...
• Boot to system, congrats you're on arm64.
Changelog:
- Fixed camera service crashing.
- Gcams can now run on Enforcing mode.
- Swap is disabled by default in favor of ZRAM.
- Fixed more services crashing that just filled up the logcat.
- Changed to Global for better overlay compatibility
- ViperFX now works in Enforcing mode where as before it would be unstable.
- Camera doesn't take as long to launch now.
Old Changes (from previous vendor/post):
• Fix bt audio, cleanup audio configs
• Add exfat fix
• Fix headphones
• Fix video recording
• Enable pseudo-gyro (emulated gyroscope from miui)
Downloads :
Base
mirror link
Bugs ?
• VoLTE doesn't work (fix: https://t.me/Redmi7AUpdates/98)
Things to point out:
- As mentioned on the previous release, Pie and Amber/Erfan based GSIs can't boot on Enforcing mode, in which case the Permissiver v5 zip from #permissiver is necessary.
- The FM Radio fix found in notes doesn't work anymore, use this instead (http://www.mediafire.com/file/wgnysvjo362yuco/FM_Radio-Fix.zip/file) and flash through Magisk.
- If you are having any camera related issues then switch to Permissive mode.
-Fixed some stuff and made a new one.
-Sadly, upgrading directly from the old one isn't possible and formatting data is required, I tried to make it upgradable but with no success.

You could try to use this on a MIUI GSI ported from the Redmi 8 maybe, but I don't know if it would work completely.
Maybe Erfan's GSI builds? https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/MIUI/

Great Work, congrats <3
i have ask helios developer (maintainer of helios gsi) to resize the gsi of redmi 8 (redmi 8 has 3.5 gb raw image that cant be flash easy to our phone which has only 3gb)
"Flash any arm64 GSI of your choice to system image" i dont know what is this, but can u give me yours?
all using just twrp to flash?
How did you root your device? Im currently on MIUI 11.0.3 Q and there's no TWRP or any magisk rooting files/guide that is updated.
Good work btw. If you can share your rooting method and TWRP this can be an ALL IN ONE guide. Many thanks!
EDIT: Its working right now, but thing is I cant flash anything from internal storage, it shows weird letters (encrypted). Its Pitch Black Recovery 3.0. How did you solve this?

Had the same situation here on my 7A with TWRP, i also couldn't transfer the files via file Explorer from Windows to the 7A
because of the encryption (the copy and paste window doesn't do anything and disapears after a while).
Solution to this is:
Format Data > Yes
[Warning - outdated - OP has replaced the fw+vendor file 11.0.3 to 11.0.11]
Explaning some stuff about GSI basics
If this GSI stuff is also new to you like it is to me:
When working with GSI it's important to understand that the version which is currently running on your device, lets say V10.2.5 for example,
has the same version of your patched boot image (actually the boot image is build to fit for the currently running version i guess)
In this Thread the Base (11.0.3 Q FW) must have the same Version as the currently running version.
At the beginning i didn't know how this should work out because in all the other GSI Rom guides there is a patched boot image file in use
but if you want to use this Base (11.0.3 Q FW) there is no V11.0.3 GLOBAL patched boot image file to use?, just russia.
(see https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-7a/how-to/guide-install-lineage-os-17-x-redmi-7a-t4142305 link in download section)
but then i read somewhere that the boot img also/always is part of the stock image and then i saw that the actual stock image from c. mi. com homepage is V11.0.3.
the second thing that doesn't made sense to me was: does Base (11.0.3 Q FW) mean you only can run Android 10 on it and why are there "higher versions" like Base (11.0.7 P FW) for the older Android P?
but anyway i had all the needed files to give it a try.
Instructions how to get from some sort of a corrupt status xy --> StockRom
Because i did some testing with Rom's i needed a "starting point" = this means unlocked Bootloader, Stock Rom V11.0.3, recovery installed
This was necessary for me to find out what step causes problems and also to "reset" the boot.img if i used a patched one
So this was my loop i did everytime to get from some sort of a corrupt status "xy" back to "starting point":
Enter Fastboot mode (Vol-Down & Power)
Install Stock Rom "pine_global_images_V11.0.3.0.QCMMIXM_20200717.0000.00_10.0_global" from c .mi .com homepage by using the software "MiFlash 2020.3.14.0"
(if you use MiFlash for the first time go to Driver --> install & wait for weird message.)
(it's important to use the V11.0.3.0. if you want to run the "64-bit Base Package For GSI Redmi 7A")
if your bootloader is unlocked at this moment choose "clean all" at the bottom of MiFlash instead of "clean all and lock".
("clean all" always ends with the error "error: Not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s .*lock), flash is not done" but you can ignore this one)
After install Stock Rom is finished let the device boot to system
if you already have a unlocked bootloader and you used "clean all" option you can now shut down the device and then enter Fastboot mode (Vol-Down & Power)
if you used "clean all and lock" with a previous unlocked bootloader you can quickly unlock it again by entering Fastboot mode and using the "Mi Unlock" software for Windows.
if your bootloader was never unlocked before you now have to do the complete process:
enable the developer options, go to "Mi unlock status" and register/LOGIN ON YOUR DEVICE into Mi-Account, install "Mi Unlock" software on PC and then you can unlock it.
anyways, if your bootloader is unlocked - shut down the device and then enter Fastboot mode (Vol-Down & Power)

All i can say is that i tested Camera, Weird cutted corners and Brightness and Screenrecording on LOS 17 based on 11.0.3 64 bit . Everything works so far
PS: Can you please edit your quote so only the lines you refer to getting repeated? thx
does it work with the feature : wireless fm radio?
so you can play sky children of light with this or games 64 bit based?

The first one worked the first try, but the second one does not let me install the gapps, I get error code 70 don't have enough space, I tried to resize system but I get an error and if I try again it works but when starting the phone it stuck in the logo (I already installed FM radio gsi). I don't understand why that happens
