[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] szachara:
Hi all, yesterday I backed up pixel experience from with TWRP, I selected classic combination system, data, vendor, efs, recovery, boot and cache partition, I installed a newer version of PE rom, tried few things and after that, I wanted to restore to backed-up version.

So I restored vendor, system, data, boot and cache from twrp backup, but I could not boot, it hanged at google boot logo.

Then I tried to restore vendor, system, data, boot, cache, efs and recovery with the same result, hang up at google boot logo.

Backup and restore were of course without any errors.

I had to flash/install pixel experience rom after the backup was restored, after that, I booted normally without any data lost.

Why I could not restore TWRP backup, does it have something with dm-verity ( I don't even know if PE rom use dm-verity ), or is something else in a game what does prevent to successfully restore a backup? What I'm missing?

What is your advice for Mi5 about this new option in settings; "unmount system before installing ZIP" this must be selected or not?

twrp-3.5.0_9-0-gemini

Can I use 3.5.0_9-0 while for flashing Android 10 or 11 custom rooms?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Puliyo:
Install for twrp-3.5.1_9-0-gemini.img went fine for me.

Going to sideload lineage 17.1 -> 18.1 when opengapps for android 11 is ready.

Will update again once done.

If I try to boot in recovery manualy then only boots to Fastboot, if I boot normally then go to MIUI and can go to Recovery but to MIRECOVERY

I searched for a solution but I didnt see anyone have the same problem, any idea?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] eriol1:
If you have mi 6 you should not be flashing twrp for mi 5
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Kai_Jan_57:
Do you have any plans to update TWRP to get compatibility with android-12? That would be really nice, considering you made lineageos-19 available on gemini and as a side note, this is the only reason I have not upgraded yet ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
No, I have no plans to keep updating it. For a simple reason, FDE is no longer supported on Xiaomi 8996 family starting with Android 12. Just stick to Lineage recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JackSlaterIV:
I don't get this. Why is the FDE support still needed, when Android 12 only uses FBE?

Can't the devs use the updated Mi5 kernel to create a new TWRP that supports FBE?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
I didn't say FDE support is needed. It obviously isn't because as you wrote we now use FBE. I don't want to keep maintaining TWRP, simple as that.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JackSlaterIV:
Ok, can we create full backups using the LOS recovery like TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
No, because Lineage recovery doesn't support userdata decryption at all by design.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] andy356:
TWRP seems to be the only way for Magisk to survive LOS OTAs, though, on A-only devices. Lineage Recovery doesn't support some aspect of the process, apparently.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] r4wn4k_rum1:
I'm trying to install TWRP but it's getting deleted on reboot. I tried everything mentioned in the comments but nothing worked. Installed TWRP via fastboot then booted to recovery and selected reboot to recovery from TWRP. Everything seemed fine but as soon as i boot to system and then try to go to TWRP, it doesn't work, it gets revert back to MI Recovery. Please help.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] reb00tz:
No longer have the Mi 5; but you should check latest TWRP instructions - may need to reflash TWRP the moment a new ROM is installed (but before boot to new ROM) to overwrite the recovery that the ROM may have installed/come with.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Updated to which release? Can you tell me the build number?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ivanrsz:
MIUI8 6.8.18 http://en.miui.com/thread-330304-1-1.html

Also I'm not afraid to follow the steps do you need in order to find a solution.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Funny. Was that one the first MIUI 8 ROM that you installed?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ivanrsz:
yes, before I was using the MIUI7 without problems with the TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] marcel112:
Strange. I also am on .18.

I Have to say i tried Both... Upgrading from older with .18 zip file and full wipe. Both working normal Here, no screen bug.

What if you try flashify? Choose to Flash twrp with flashify, download it First with app and Flash it afterwards?

I am on 3.0.2.0 btw

When i try to Flash 3.0.2.1 i am stick at logo also

Hi,

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
I was only aware of 1.3.0, 2.0.0, 2.2.0 HW versions. Which variant do you have (32, 64 or 128GB)?

This is the most important part, I think: mdss_mdp.panel=1:dsi:0:qcom,mdss_dsi_lgd_fhd_td4322_cmd:1:none:cfg:single_dsi. All panels I have seen before were mdss_mdp.panel=1:dsi:0:qcom,mdss_dsi_jdi_fhd_r63452_cmd:1:none:cfg:single_dsi.

Same here, but that's not an issue for me or all the *majority* of the users. The thing is that it seems you have different (newer?) hardware on your Mi 5. I'll keep investigating.

I guess you should be sad, at least for now. :laugh: So, isn't there any unofficial TWRP recovery working for you at the moment?

the link where's it from: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=309596#pid5696552

If the flasher doesnt work, maybe you could try it with only the twrp included?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
The problem is not related to the way recovery is flashed. Using a flasher is pointless.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] marcel112:

Is that the difference between the Mi5 and the Mi5 Pro?

I've the Mi5 Pro and I'd be interested in seeing if that works on mine.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

Bruno I had the same problem as this, but I tried out your test build, and it works. I still had to do the thing where I let the screen turn off but when turned back on, it all works fine. That's with me running an Mi5 pro, so I wonder if it's a hardware difference between models?

In any case, I'm just rooting the phone now, but is there any info or logs I can grab from my phone in the interest of your development of the recovery image?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
I don't think so. I have seen other users with Mi 5 Pro and the same JDI LCD panel as mine. When you say Mi 5 Pro, do you mean the 64 GB variant or the 128 GB?

Did you try the first or the second image I sent to [MENTION=7653268]ivanrsz[/MENTION]? The second one seems to solve that issue as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] trad3mark:
Yes I tried countless versions. In the end, it was the TWRP-recovery-gemini-test2-blank-screen-6.8.18-kernel.img one that worked. With the Mi5 Pro, I mean the 128gb/4gb ram one. I was wondering if this suggested that there were a few subtle hardware differences between the 32/64 and the 128gb versions, other than just the extra gb of ram.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] ivanrsz:
I gave to him the one which fix this issue (TWRP-recovery-gemini-test2_blank_screen-6.8.18-kernel.img), the second one you gave me.

So normally should works without to wait till the screen goes black...
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
So, even with that recovery you have to wait until the screen goes off and turn on with a key press to have touch working? Damn...
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] trad3mark:
only once though. I'll boot into it again now and try straight from when it boots up.

edit:

this time touch function works straight away. looks good!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Are you also running MIUI 6.8.18?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] trad3mark:
yes, MIUI 8 Global 6.8.18 | Beta, according to the info on about phone. It was the official global miui8 developer rom from the miui site, and it updated via updater a few days ago.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Okay, please don't share the internal build anymore. I will do some more testing and push the updates to the official TWRP device tree. This is worth for a new maintenance release. :laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] trad3mark:
No problem. If there's anything else I can do to help you out, let me know. Awesome job fixing this up. I'm off to FINALLY put CM13 onto my phone!
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] markus1540:
Hi,

I noticed that you are trying to fix the issue with the non-responding screen on recovery boot before releasing the next maintenance release (in the TWRP Porting thread).

Could you maybe share the internal TWRP build ivanrsz was talking about, without these new fixes, for the time being?

I just unlocked the bootloader to try out the MIUI 8 Global Beta (6.8.18) and decided that I'm probably more comfortable with one of the unofficial CyanogenMOD ROMs.

However I'm now stuck at the splash-screen of all TWRP builds I could find.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Sure, I'll share it here tonight. I was just doing some additional research before pushing the changes to TWRP device repo, but MIUI 8 is now rolling out and more and more users will be affected.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] trad3mark:
might be helpful to advise people to check their screen type first, unless the new one will work on both?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Yes, it works also on my device, so it should work for every display type out there.

Out of curiosity, what's your display type?

by the way, I can grab recovery.log for the sudden reboot while flashing issue by using adb tail -f to redirect while flashing, but not sure if it capture log you need.

I select 4 files to flash, and reboot occur after finishing the first file (issue not always occur, but more than 50% chance). I capture log for both sudden reboot and normal, but both looks the same.

Oh damn... it seems that Xiaomi is seriously breaking things. Can you both tell me what ROM you are running, if it is MIUI which version it is and if you flashed all via fastboot (including bootloader)?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] baszu:
I'm using an unofficial MIUI rom, Xiaomi.eu 6.8.18, which is based on China Developer.

The installation is via your previous TWRP test build, by dirty flash over Global Beta 6.8.11 (fastboot flash all, but I don't see bootloader image in the flash_all.bat command. Could you remind me again what it name?)
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Bootloader is the emmc_appsboot.mbn file.

What's your panel type?
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ramabi77:
yeah me too, i'm using miui 6.8.18 eu too, but well, i figured how to fix my screen, i'm using chinese pc suite, and flashing chinese rom through fastboot, and it back alive
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] baszu:
I've checked, there is emmc_appsboot.mbn file in the zip rom, and also command to update in updater-script.

Each week rom also have different emmc_appsboot.mbn file, have checked and compare MD5. Do you mean different bootloader will impact recovery as well?

For panel, do you mean these info? If not, please let me know what else

[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] baszu:
Here is link to EU rom, https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/

Even though it is unofficial, it is like a translated rom using China Dev as base. Never compare whether they edit bootloader though.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] bgcngm:
Yeah, but if that breaks compatibility with TWRP, then something is wrong. Can you flash bootloader from MIUI 6.8.18 China dev package and see if that solves?

I will check this later, as I'm still in the office. Cannot download big file, need to wait until I go home. Will report tomorrow.

By the way, in the early state, EU provide their own unofficial TWRP but later use your official one, including in their zip rom.

EU 6.8.18 is using your previous test build in their rom zip file (I've compared MD5). Haven't download 6.8.25 because it is just released today.

Ok, I'll flash it now and report.

EDIT: nope, touchscreen is not working on latest testbuild. I'm on latest weekly (6.8.25). I waited till the screen went off, to see if it fixed it, but nothing.

There's something that I don't understand. If Xiaomi.eu ROMs are supposedly based on official MIUI China packages, then why are firmware images different? :confused:

I take that back. After all it seems to be just a problem when first booting into recovery after flashing things (or maybe coming from bootloader). It works with 6.8.11, 6.8.18. or 6.8.25 firmware, but I need to reboot to recovery a second time. Can someone else confirm this behaviour?
