Mi A3 Android 10 v11.0.15 unable to flash twrp and magisk - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Hi I recently updated my Mi A3 to May Android 10 update i.e. v11.0.15 . Before this it was rooted with TWRP and Magisk as now both of these softwares are gone due to update. Now i want to flash TWRP first but unable to install it as I changed the active slot to A (current B) as per old method but nothing happened and phone stucked at Fastboot screen. This thing really concerns me as if I flash twrp.img at slot B, does it boot properly? Other way around to root Mi A3 using Magisk manager by patching boot.img of V11.0.15. Where can i get this and is it a reliable method without flashing custom recovery like TWRP? Can i flash any other good custom recovery?

Starting July im also facing the same issue. I restarted my phone but received a message that phone has been updated. Now TRWP and root is gone. I can't flast TWRP again on slot boot_a, also cannot flast twrp on boot_b. Stuck on Flashboot.
I was lucky to have the Stock boot img, i then flashed the Stock boot img on both slots a & b. But cannot flast TWRP anymore using ABD/fastboot
Solution: I flashed the new TWRP 3.4 for Android 10 from this link and now the problem is fixed!! https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/development/recovery-twrp-3-4-0-0-patched-boot-img-t4123287

I only used the files from that link. I did not read it anything. But Thanks, you pointed this out.
This means that the next time I wipe data in TWRP, then I should first enable "use rm -rf instead of formatting" in TWRP settings
I have never tried 'wipe data' on this phone. But I'll remember this the next time I 'wipe data'. Thanks, you just saved me.

Couldn't get root access error on miui 8 china developer beta 6.63

getting the following error 'Couldn't get root access-root rom isn't ready,please wait a moment', when trying to use the allow root access tab in security>permissions>allow root access . Is this normal for everyone? Is there another alternate way to enable root?
Yes, you need twrp recovery and BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
If you don't want to flash the custom recovery permanently you can use:
fastboot boot recovery.img
And the twrp recovery will appear. After installing of the zip file and reboot, the stock recovery will take its place.
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-beta
This version is 2.74. I can't find 2.71, but it may do the job
tried it, after flashing the zip ,the phone got struck in the mi icon during boot. had to flash my backup.

With 2.71 there is no problem with this.
Obviously not every version works with every phone.
For example mi 4 is rootable only with 2.65
hmm everytime i try to enter twrp, even if i dont do anything and reboot it will boot struck at mi logo......maybe the dev rom beta just dont work well with twrp.....
Check to see if the bootloader is locked again.
Code:
fastboot oem devices-info

Can somebody help me please!

So hey! I successfully booted into the TWRP and used it to flash the DISABLEFORCEENCRYPTION file, right after. I decided to reboot to recovery (Cause I think that would be great just after you flash something in TWRP) but then after it finishes showing the pocophone booting screen rather than showing TWRP recovery. It showed the stock MIUI recovery! someone please help! I just finished flashing magisk and a custom rom by using the method of: Everytime I need to flash something using TWRP I would just open adb and fastboot boot recovery it again so that I could use the TWRP!
Thank you in advance!

I decided to fix this problem after I flashed a rom cause I think I would run into future problems involving magisk and it's use of the TWRP recovery.

If you already have the ROM installed, use adb to flash TWRP and without booting flash Magisk and then boot to system. If you are on stock ROM, follow THIS.
For entering into TWRP, use the key combination of volume up + power buttons.
You can use the encryption compatible TWRP (search for it) instead of the official one.

Stuck on poco by xiaomi boot screen

Im stuck on poco boot screen and after few seconds it reboots to fastboot.
I did a twrp backup (system, vendor, data and boot) when everything was working but now after i try to restore the twrp backup, it still doesnt fix the problem.
before this, i flashed a new PE build and that had a boot loop for some reason.
wtf?
How does my twrp backup restore doesnt fix it ?
Do i have to miflash a fastboot rom ? is it the only fix for me now ?
You may find your solution here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-decryption-t3853004/page42
You can also install latest ROM and restore data only.

i dont have a firmware zip in my storage and i cant push it through adb because i didnt have debugging enabled. So i cant cleanflash because i dont have the firmware zip. Looks like i will need to use the mifash method.
flash the original Vendor image!
if you have flashed PE over MIUI10.2.x
, this mean you have used MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE
poco supports Treble!
you cannot flash PE/ or any other custom rom over modified vendor image
take the latest vendor image from mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
and flash it view twrp
and reboot
you wil lbe fine
i fixed the problem. I put firmware - vendor zip in sd card and flashed it through sd card. All good now. Thanks for trying to help my dumb ass.
i guess there might be some magisk module thats causing the bootloop after i flash a new build of rom . Maybe.
If thats the case. There's a flashable zip file that lets you disable a magisk module via TWRP.. ehehehe.. happened to me too. I flash gl tools via magisk systemless then it got stuck on pocofone f1 loading screen.. so i flashed that magisk module disabler.. hit some commands via TWRP TERMinal emu.. then it boot right away..

Always uninstall Magisk before flashing new update if you are on official twrp cuz it doesn't support ota, update then reinstall it. If you have did so wipe encrypted internal storage , wait a bit it will boot .

Flashing recovery - keeps reverting to stock after reboot

Hi peeps
New Pocophone owner here. I got my bootloader unlocked earlier today and now trying to flash the official TWRP 3.3.0.0 recovery from twrp.me, simply following the fastboot instructions on the device guide.
However every time I reboot the device, the recovery always reverts to the stock MIUI recovery?
What am I doing wrong here?
I just got the phone and have upgraded it to MIUI 10.3.6 as well. I am wanting to flash pixel experience onto it.
Do following, instead of flashing your recovery.
Use this method boot and flash Magisk. Reboot back to your system and install Flashify and install your choosen Recovery with it

What the post above says is correct. However, if you don't want Magisk, after flashing TWRP, reboot into recovery and then into system. You may retain TWRP. However, this doesn't work for everyone.
Hi all, I fixed the issue by completely wiping my phone via TWRP and clean flashing pixel experience ROM. After rebooting on pixel rom TWRP persists.
It appears that MIUI rom has something that keeps reverting it to stock MI-recovery.
If you are on MIUI and flashing TWRP, once the recovery is up for the first time, you need to head on to reboot>recovery again in order to overwrite MIUI stock recovery. So the whole process would be like this;
i) Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the name of the image)
ii) Fastboot boot recovery
iii) Once TWRP is up, Swipe to allow modification and then go to Reboot>Recovery and reboot into TWRP once more. That's it! You have just overwritten the stock recovery and are now on TWRP!! Now you can reboot to system and TWRP will remain on your device. There's no need to flash Magisk etc if you want just TWRP and nothing else.

I did those exact steps and it didn't work. It ALWAYS kept getting overwritten.

Did you follow step 3? You can't boot into system right after twrp is up for the first time. You need to reboot into twrp twice before you boot into system. This is what I do whenever I flash twrp and it never failed me yet.

Yes, I even flashed the recovery image from within TWRP and rebooted to recovery again. Still didn't work.
Note this was on the new 10.3.6 stable MIUI release that got rolled out recently. Not sure if it has new detection or anything that rolls it back.
Anyway I have resolved my issue now all is good.

after installing lineage 19 for micro G, oneplus 5t only boots in recovery

Good evening dear members, I ask for your kind advice, as I have done something wrong to my Oneplus 5t.
I upgraded my Oneplus 5t with "lineage for microG" 19.1 (from lineage 18).
I had installed TWRP 3.5.0_9 (phone encrypted).
It booted fine the first time into system.
The problem arose after I tried to install Magisk 21.4 from TWRP.
Now the phone only boots in recovery, but it doesn't enter TWRP's menu. It stays on the first TWRP screen (where it shows the version number).
The good thing (I hope) is that I can enter fastboot mode.
I tried flashing TWRP again from fastboot to no avail.
I tried flashing boot.img from fastboot (taken from the original firmware), but still no luck.
Is there a way to install the original firmware from fastboot?
I think starting from scratch would be a step into the right direction.
Please give any suggestion which I fill follow to the letter.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You have to be decrypted or flash DMverity for A12. I assume You mean Magisk 24.1 the current version is 24.3
Hi. This is what I did:
I downloaded and installed original firmware through fastboot (fastboot was still on).
I also installed original recovery through fastboot.
After that my oneplus 5t was in stock condition, apart from the bootloader, which was unlocked.
After that I managed to install TWRP through fastboot, and then lineage 19.
The thing is that TWRP doesn't support lineage 19, for one reason or another. Or it could be the other way around (lineage 19 doesn't support TWRP). In any case I had a phone which would only go in fastboot mode.
At least I knew what to do, as I did it already: reinstall stock firmware and recovery.
Long story short, I installed LOS recovery and lineage 19, and everything works fine.
Thanks everyone, and especially thaidroid, for the support.
Have a nice day.

What recovery are you on? TWRP?
I use the one posted alongside each version: https://download.lineageos.org/dumpling
can you help?
I need to root so I can titanium backup everything. but I can't root. I suspect I might need to fully format and wipe and start again, I tried wiping data and doing a fresh install, but after sideloading magisk it just fails to boot every time now.
Does it boot regularly BEFORE installing magisk? I am trying to define the source of the problem.
I have installed lineage 19 and magisk, and I confirm you that it's possible
Yes. It boots fine if I just install lineage then nevermindthegapps. problem only occurs if I flash magisk. I tried installing the .apk and patching the .boot image manually in it and then fastboot flashing that, but same thing.
oh - one possible thing that it may be - is that I had a couple of modules loaded (I think a gcam fix mod and something similar) in magisk, and I read somewhere about people having them stuck 'installed' despite demoving all traces of magisk app. whether that is the problem I don't know.
This is very strange. That's what I did:
Sideload lineage recovery
Sideload lineage 19
Download magisk apk
Patched boot image from lineage 19.zip
Sideload the patched boot image
And that's it it all worked
May I suggest you to start all over again?
is wiping system data sufficient or do I need to format it? I'd rather not lose my appdata- but I can't rescue it without root / titanium backup :/
Try first without formatting, and see how it goes
I wiped system/cache, installed lineage-19.1-20220719-nightly-dumpling-signed.zip / mindthegapps, phone booted up fine - rebooted fine.
ok, good. Now download latest magisk app and patch the boot img.
do I click patch vbmeta in image?
Yes.
First extract the file called boot.img from lineage.zip you just installed.
Then in magisk select "patch vbmeta in image".
Magisk should produce a file named something like " magisk_pached-24300_f41h3.img".
That patched file should be sideloaded.
Installation is explained really well by topjohnwu
it wouldn't flash without selecting vbmeta, so tried with, flashed it, now i'm sitting looking at the boot logo.
