Hello all,
It's a long time that's i haven't post a thread here but i have a question.I have a Poco with MIUI Global 9.6 Stable (9.6.25.0) for ROM with a Android Version 8.1.0 OPM 171019.011 with root acces, unlocking bootloader and TWRP 3.3.0-0 installed.
I would upgrade my phone to something "newer" (A ROM with Android 12 if possible) and conserv the root access and my apps.
I have read that now ,we should have 3 files to do that (firmware,system and vendor) to make a wipe and install new ROM with TWRP.
So my question:
-Is it possible to upgrade Android 8.1.0 to Android 12 witn a new ROM? (i have read something about kernel in Android12 but haven't understand all)
-Have i missed some steps or just download files,boot TWRP,wipe and install newer ROM+firmware and vendor appropriate is good?
-Which ROM do you recommend?
Thanks for the previous answers.

It's not possible to switch from stock ROM to custom without doing clean install. You will have to root again.
First update to latest Official Stock ROM, then take backup of your files to your PC or to SDCard (if you have one) , flash to latest Official TWRP and check my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. You can find everything there. I have awarded recommended ROMs in my collection.
Feel free to ask if you have any question regarding the guides.
Thanks for the answer.I have begin to read your guides.
If i understand good,it's not possible to conserv my root,unlock bootloader and twrp when i upgrade to android 12? Automaticaly i should root again my phone and restore with titanium backup my files,contact,....?

First you need to take backup of your files to PC or External SDCard.
Then you should update to latest version of MIUI via OTA if it's possible or via TWRP (you can use the stock recovery rom to do it via twrp). (You can also use my guides for clean install stock rom)
Then you should unlock your bootloader if it's not already unlocked.
Then flash latest Official TWRP.
Then flash latest firmware (not vendor) just to make sure you are on the latest. (You should be on latest firmware after updating to the latest MIUI version)
Then Wipe everything + format data according to my guides and flash the ROM you want. If you choose A12 Pixel Experience or crDroid keep in mind that these ROMs use their own recovery because these are encrypted by default ROMs and TWRP can't handle the decryption of A12 encrypted ROMs yet. So to make OTA updates and that stuff work correctly devs of these ROMs decide to use their own recovery which can handle the decryption of encrypted roms and as result to make OTA update work fine. Check the installation instructions of these roms in their threads. (Afterwards you can use adb sideload to flash stuff using these recoveries)
After that, flash Magisk since you want root.
Then you can restore titanium backup if you want.
OK i follow your instruction.Thanks
Hello retrial,
I have now updating my phone to MIUI Global 12.0.3 Stable with Android Version 10QKQ1.My phone is not yet rooted and now he is encrypted.The recovery is now Mi-Recovery 3.0
I have unlock again my bootloader.
Now to follow your instruction,i should flash the latest TWRP.
I have take TWRP-3.6.0_9-0-berylium in your guide.
I think i should do Fastboot Method because i'm now in Mi-Recovery?i'm right?
No problem with the encryption?
Thanks.
i have find this video.This is not the good phone but i think that the installation is the same:

Yes use Fastboot Method to flash TWRP. No problem with encryption.
After that follow my clean install custom rom guide to flash the ROM you want. Also please check the instructions in the threads of ROMs you want to flash. A12 crDroid and PE use their own recoveries.
Basically tell me which ROM you want to flash to help you exactly with steps.
Hello retrial,
i have a problem to install TWRP-3.6.0-9-0 on my pocophone.Everything working fine but in step 8 of your guide,i can't find my twrp.img that i have copied in 2 different case to test :
8. Boot into Recovery by typing in cmd: fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly and write the full path of it, check the example below).
This command will not flash permantly the recovery, it will just temporary boot into it and afterwards you will flash permantly the twrp.img you copied into your Internal Storage or SDcard in recovery partition.
For example: fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-3.5.2_9-0-beryllium.img
Have you an idea to why i cannot find my twrp.img in the boot mode?

I have all the steps on my guide. Please read it carefully. It boots back to mi recovery because you haven't flash TWRP yet just booted into. After boot into TWRP u need to flash twrp in recovery section so it will stay after reboot.
Please read the steps.
Download portable Minimal ADB and Fastboot and latest Official TWRP recovery.
Open cmd from minimal adb and fastboot and write:
fastboot boot and the path you have TWRP.
Example:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-3.6.0_9-0-beryllium.img
Then proceed with the rest steps in my guide. Connect ur device to pc while u are booted into TWRP and copy TWRP.img to your device. Then in TWRP press Install Image and select the twrp.img u just copied into ur device. Select recovery and done.
I have made a video to show you what happened (sorry for the bad quality and the moove) :
I think a video is easyest to understand my problem.For information my bootloader is unlock and usb debugging ok.

Hmm strange, probably of MIUI. Anyway since you are going to flash custom rom, when u flash twrp in recovery go back and select wipe and wipe everything (read my clean install guide), go back press format data type yes, and then reboot to TWRP.
EDIT: I just saw u rebooted to system. That's not what we want. Press reboot to recovery.
i reboot first to bootloader after have flash the twrp.img in recovery.That's only the second time that i reboot to system to use the normal mode of the phone and reboot after to recovery mode to show you that mi recovery is back.

The TWRP flashed correctly. You overlap it again by pressing reboot to recovery from MIUI updater.
Don't do that...do the combination to boot to TWRP after flashing it. Power+Volume Up.
And continue with clean install steps in my guide to flash custom rom.
In my guide I write nowhere to boot to MIUI and press from MIUI Updater reboot to recovery, please stick to my guide and you will be fine.

2- Install the adb & fastboot drivers on your PC
3- extract the ROM file [ will have a lot of files , you only need System.img and boot.img]
4- copy System.img and boot.img to adb&fastboot folder
5- open command Prompt
6- put your devices in fastboot mode [ restart your device then press the Vol.Up button and choose fastboot]
7- enter these commands in cmd :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
8- enjoy your new ww rom
** if you want to flash twrp then >>

Nice guide
awesome
I know this isn't the thread for it... but there is no forum for the ZenFone 3 Zoom.
I have US model and I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, rooted.
I want to install rom update that was just released last week. It obviously doesn't flash in TWRP. I also can't unzip it without corruption errors. Redownloaded the ROM multiple times from ASUS.
I assume to update stock rom with an unlocked Bootloader we'll need stock recovery??

And where was that twrp install originally from? I haven't found an image for this model specifically.
Also, does this bootloader unlock still allow the pushed OS updates from ASUS? Want to make sure I can get Nougat when it comes out!
Hey guys,
I need some help. I installed the apk to unlock the bootloader and my phone was fine, but after flashing twrp and installing the zip for supersu via twrp, my phone has been stuck on the boot screen. Now it says "The dm verity is not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly" when booting up. I can get back into twrp, and I've tried wiping the dalvik/art cache, system, data, and cache, but my phone still won't boot up. It's stuck on the ASUS boot screen, and I have no idea what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No. The last update WW_V11.41.87.2 is not available for my OTA. I can download the zip though and flash. I haven't actually attempted to do this yet. I plan to flash it today. Not sure if I'll be able to do it through twrp, or if I'll have to flash back the stock recovery first.
So does this change the bands available with it? I have the WW ROM but want the additional bands the US ROM has.
why I only have system.new.dat where can i get the system.img? thank you
How did you get on with flashing the update... did you have to revert to stock recovery and if so which did you use? Thanks for your help with this.
Can I ask where/how you got the stock ROM? I'd like to make sure that these are updated/available somewhere for people on this device to use as needed, and ASUS seems to only have the updates on their website.
Is it possible to relock bootloader after converting to WW?

Hello,
I am trying to root the Global MIUI _V10.2.1.0.PECMIXM ROM using Magisk. I want my phone to remain encrypted, and having spent all day today trying to achieve this, I am turning here for help.
I have tried flashing via Fastboot and TWRP, have tried flashing Disable DMVerity (without disabling the force encryption) before, and after flashing Magisk. I hava managed to get Magisk 18 flashed and able to boot to the ROM, but when I open Magisk Manager (Installed by the flash) it updates itself and says it needs to install Magisk, proposing to download it - or patch boot img.
Every time I try to flash the downloaded zip, or try fastboot flashing the modified boot.img, the phone won't boot - it just ends up in TWRP recovery.
I have wiped data 100s of times to try to fix this, to no avail.
I have tried to boot into TWRP without flashing it, but this just hands on the TWRP flash screen every time.
Any help / tips would be appreciated.
Were you following any tutorial post? Recent xiaomi phones come with more strict policy on bootload locks. I'm not familiar with it, but if I didn't misunderstand, without BL unlock it's kinda dangerous to flash anything on the phone.

Great.....you should try gsi on your device....
Sounds good and regards to the developer, But I recommend that to wait until the TWRP be tested well and release the first update vesion .

I guess you can test it yourself. Quite easy to fix things if it doesn't boot the TWRP. You'll simply flash the original recovery.img from the current MIUI full ROM installed on your phone to erase the TWRP without even erasing userdata. My bootloader is currently locked so can't test it now. About bricks, as you know this is an MTK so you have to be extremely careful.
The advantage with TWRP is you can mod the system so long as you enable write access to that partition. Flashing Magisk modules also works better via the recovery.
Last thing, I think the only way you can get root on MIUI is through the patched boot method. Flashing the Magisk installer zip in TWRP just doesn't do.

It means the flashing program in the zip. You can just flash the img file via fastboot command. I tried, it works.
Copy the .img file to your fastboot folder & flash .
Almost brick my device.....
Today I installed this in my redmi 9....
I was surprised when I see that my device is is boot into this recovery....
I am very happy but my happiness gone after a few minutes.....
When I boot into system I cannot boot into recovery.....
So I format all user data and chach....
But same thing happen To me....
I flash this recovery again with fastboot mode.. then I can boot into recovery...
I think it could be happen because my phone is encrypted... So I force dencrypted my device....
When I want to boot into system. I fail to boot no system and no recovery...
I think it is over but luckily I able to boot into fastboot mood ..then I flash boot and recovery....
I realise that there is no need to flash this recovery... Because you can root your phone without recovery....
If you try to flash GSI ROM... It will not happen because it does not support GSI ROM
There is no option to erase system and vendor separately.....
So who want to flash GSI via this recovery, I suggest you do not flash it because we do not need it this time....
I am not sure it may be happen only with me. Feel free to share your experience...

This recovry is only to flash magisk for now. Flashing ROMs not supported yet. Don't try to flash rom with this.
That's mean this recovery is not helpful.....
Because we root our devices without any recovery....

In order to get that lucky we will need source code. Without source code nothing can be done properly.
PLEASE NOTE I HAVE ONLY TESTED THIS ON MY PERSONAL DEVICE RUNNING BUILD 58.0.A.10.3 WITH DATA ENCRYPTED. NEWER FIRMWARE VERSIONS HAVE ISSUES THAT I CANNOT PRESENTLY FIX, THAT IS UP TO THE TWRP DEVELOPER.
This requires you to have adb installed on your computer, magisk needs to be installed, and your bootloader needs to be unlocked.
Use this guide for bootloader unlocking and Magisk installation
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-5-ii/how-to/guide-magisk-twrp-recovery-t4177209
Step 1. Download the twrp.img linked in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=4185891
Step 2. Place that .img wherever your adb is installed on your pc.
Step 3. Reboot your device to fastboot by any means. Either use
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
when your device is plugged in, or boot your device while holding volume up.
Steps 4 - 8 are optional, as they make a TWRP backup of your stock recovery. I did this just to be safe because this TWRP isn't perfectly stable yet. It does work fine so far but its just a precaution.
Step 4.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a Twrp-Xperia5II.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b Twrp-Xperia5II.img
Step 5.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Step 6. TWRP should boot now. Once in TWRP, be sure to change your language, it should be Chinese by default.
Step 7. Mount all partitions, except op2 and USB. Then create a backup of at least your recovery partition, although you can do all partitions if you would like. The backup will take a couple minutes, but let it runs its course.
Step 8. Reboot back to fastboot, either via TWRP or power button methods.
IF YOU MADE A RECOVERY BACKUP LOOK BELOW STEP 11 FIRST
Step 9.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery Twrp-Xperia5II.img
Step 10.
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
Step 11. TWRP should now be booted from the recovery partition. You can verify by trying to reboot to system like normal. The easiest way to test once booted to system is to reboot to recovery in Magisk manager. If TWRP boots you are done.
THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE ONLY NECESSARY IF YOU MADE A RECOVERY BACKUP IN STEPS 4 - 8
Immediately after Step 8 do the following, you will need your patched magisk .img file from the magisk guide I linked above.
Step 1.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a [your patched magisk img]
Step 2.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b [your patched magisk img]
Step 3.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Step 4. Go back to step 9 above.
Your system should now boot like normal again, but TWRP should be flashed to recovery. Test by following the steps listed in Step 11 above. Please reply with an questions or issues.
I will attach screenshots of what you should see in some of the steps in the second post.
Special thanks to Miustone and M-Rom for the Magisk guide and TWRP respectively.

/data/media/0 is encrypted?
Thank you very much for this guide and the TWRP image file.
I have tried creating the backup of recovery per your instructions but it seems my /data/media/0 is encrypted so I can't create the TWRP backup folder. How do you remove this to create the recovery backup?
Thanks!

You can wipe everything on the wipe menu, which will decrypt internal storage. This is a factory reset also so you will lose everything! I tried it in hope that I will at least be able to use twrp for future backups and zip flashing, but after rebooting the storage becomes encrypted again.
TWRP on the 5 ii is useless right now imo, you cant backup/restore or even flash anything with encrypted internal storage and no access to sdcard or usb OTG.
why does this need magisk to be installed?

Did you make sure to allow system modifications when you first booted TWRP, because that is very important. I am running an encrypted internal storage myself and it works fine for backups and flashing.

It isn't really necessary, but it makes troubleshooting easier so I recommend it. You can do the same steps I listed but substitute your stock boot .img for the magisk .img steps and it should still work. I can't say for certain, as this guide is simply based on the steps I took to make TWRP work for me.

Thanks for the advice. I wasn't given the option to allow system modifications. I've reflashed multiple times and not once does the option come up. I also notice that when I try to mount system then try a backup that the system mount box becomes unchecked.
I have no idea why it would work for you and not for us others. Maybe you used a different twrp build?

I am using the exact same build that M-Rom posted, the one I linked. One thing to try is mounting your partitions manually in the TWRP menu prior to starting a backup. I have those all checked as mounted in my TWRP.

It has come to my attention that users on updated system firmware are encountering decryption issues with the TWRP version listed here, rendering it useless. I am currently running build number 58.0.A.10.3 on my X5II, however flyl0 has brought it to my attention that other build versions could be proving to be the issue.
Please note that this guide is entirely based on the steps I took to do this on my own device, which currently isn't updated to the latest version of stock firmware. I will add a note in the OP as well. Sorry for any confusion.

Then I am doing something wrong in my root/twrp process. I am not able to edit (R/W) the system partition anyway after installing magisk, but I think that's expected. When you are just running android, are you able to edit the system? With root explorer for example? Or does it show that the partition is full?

XQ-AS72(Hongkong or Tiwan model) is 58.0.A.10.3, I flash that, and I can use TWRP and also able to make backup.
But flash for XQ-AS52 ones (such as for EUver), I cant use TWRP(boot is OK, but cant make backup).
TWRP Encryption don't work on the latest update
This might help you after realizing that you want to install custom ROM again after upgrading to android 11 MIUI but you cannot install android 10 or 11 based ROM and stuck with either boot loop or android rescue party.
WARNING: This might wipe every writable partition. Charge your phone at least 20% or more to prevent from destroying these partitions.
Instructions:
1. Download firmware from here
2. Download full ROM (either recovery or fastboot) from here
3. Save the firmware zip file it in either internal storage or sdcard. Reboot to TWRP afterwards
4. Tap install and find the zip file in your storage and install. Wait for a couple of seconds to get done.
To install full ROM
Recovery
1. After installing firmware from recovery mode, don't reboot. If you reboot the system it will fail to boot. Boot to fastboot if you fail this step and flash a recovery image. Proceed with next step.
2. Install full ROM flashable zip from sdcard or internal storage.
3. Format /data. Reboot.
Using fastboot
1. Boot from fastboot mode
2. Extract full ROM fastboot zip file.
3. Open miflash and locate the fastboot folder.
4. Choose flash_all. Click start.
5. The phone reboots itself. Boot to recovery mode and wipe data.
All done. The phone is now downgraded from android 11 back to android 10.
Note: I got 2 anti triggered when attempting to downgrade the phone using recovery and fastboot without installing firmware zip file first. RIP me I guess I voided my warranty anyways so doesnt matter as I already applied some insurance for my device.
TL;DR: Installed Recovery will get erased as I mentioned in WARNING. Please don't skip every step.
Edit: since it made confusion, I split steps for recovery and fastboot mode.
Has anyone tried this procedure?
Im on 12.0.6.0(EU). Bootloader locked (wait 3days) so no TWRP. Want downgrade to 12.0.8.0(EU) and flash Pixelexperience ROM.
It will work?
I'm a bit confusing... Links inserted in first 2 points seem to be the same link. So what I've to download exactly?
I'm on 12.0.7.0 Android 10 but I'm curious to try 12.0.6.0 Android 11 stable beta released some days ago...

Its not the same. First one is cca. 80MB of size while full rom is 2.4GB for recovery and 4.4GB for fastboot.
I did this method yesterday and its working. No problems whatsoever.
The only thing i would add is you need both versions of rom - recovery and fastboot. Recovery when you flash for the first time in recovery and fastboot when you flash with Mi flash.
And my advice is, android 11 miui is really bad. Its not finished, it stutters a lot, u can't use third party launchers with gesture navigation (at least in my case, Nova lanucher), performance is bad.
Not worth any time.

did you try to flash firmware file from twrp recovery first? also that error means that a checkpoint failed which you need to disable or remove in configuration settings.

i only tried recovery method and it works fine after days of trying. 12.0.6 android 11 is still buggy and miui needs to fix it a lot. most of apps are not well optimized for this flavor.
Today unlocked bootloader. Flashing 12.0.8.0 (i have 12.0.6.0 A11).
Everything work perfect. No bootloop, bootloader relock and works fine
People are probaly skipping some steps.
1. Download Firmware small size files
2. Download full Firmware, both - fastboot and recovery (put it on SD card, small and recovery)
3. Install Twrp or Orangefox recovery (download it from somewhere)
4. Enter into recovery and install small firmware FIRST, dont reboot, install big firmware (recovery version) SECOND
5. do not reboot
6. format data
7. Now reboot into fastboot
8. Extract fastboot firmware zip into new folder on desktop
9. Start Mi flash, select that folder where u extracted files and tick "clean only" on the bottom of the Mi flash if u want to leave bootloader unlocked and from drop down menu near that pick "flash_all.bat".
Thats how i did it.

i did the same, but looking to partitions of system, product and vendor, i understand that flashing the files via recovery and fastboot they dont write in that partitions.
looks like the partitions are read only. thanks
