[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] crok.bic:
[MENTION=7527998]drawix[/MENTION]: you've installed ROM that has force-encryption on by default - most probably that's why you experience this.

[MENTION=8655682]unit440[/MENTION]: if you don't inform us what kind of ROM are you using right now and what kind of OTA update arrived for you - we most probably - won't be able to help you with a 100% correct answer. If it is a full ROM (like BigOTA) then you can install it with TWRP or Red Wolf, no problem, but incremental OTA is not supported as far as I can tell you based on info coming from the developers of TWRP and Red Wolf.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] LiQuiD_FeAR:
Full rom update worked and was successful! The incremental update failed.

So that was awesome! I let it try the small update, failed, rebooted, downloaded full update, let it try the full update, and success! After full update it rebooted to the lock screen, so auto noverity works good. I just restarted to recovery and pushed supersu, and that worked great. I'm super happy about this recovery. It's way nice!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Justin Timberlake:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] caylean:
If you do root your Phone, then YES, if you don't then not really I think. Red Wolf comes with preinstalled stuff like SuperSu, Magisk and AromaFM ..

For me the preinstalled SuperSU was the reason to go, and the possibility that in the future we will have OTA MIUI Updates too. Now I can just flash my MIUI Rom, start Recovery and with some taps on the display I am rooted again, without the need to download (or search for the proper Version of) SuperSu or other Stuff again.

Kind Regards

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] caylean:
OTA is working

Many have said that OTA Update is NOT working, but NOW I know they were WRONG!

Today I was finally able to test my Idea. As I am no developer and I had no intent of downgrading my Phone to test it, I had to wait for the next OTA Update.

In the past days MIUI 9 Global 7.10.19 | Beta was released and today I got my chance. And I succeeded!!!

How to use OTA Updates with Red Wolf Recovery

Charge your Cellphone

Deactivate Lock Screen and Password

temporarily

Download OTA Update

Apply Update and let it work itself trough all needed steps (t will start Red Wolf Recovery and you see an Installprocess or some sort) until reboot to MIUI

Activate Lock Screen and Password

DONE

My Phone runs now on MIUI 9 Global 7.10.19 | Beta .. Using the OTA Update function!

It might now be the smoothest way as you have to deactivate your Lock Screen, but at least you get OTA capability. I do NOT know if TWRP will work the same way as does RWRP, but for me with knowing that I have now EVERYTHING on board to simply update and install SuperSU in 'seconds' makes for me this Recovery the absolut best there is at the moment!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] tres_linguas:
Just to make sure: do you refer to RedWolf or Miui when talking about Lockscreen and password?

Thanks a lot for the post, anyway :svetius:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] caylean:
I am refering to MIUI. Have recovery not locked in any way. So this was already unlocked. So that might be an issue too, not sure

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dadi11:
they are 2 different things. the recovery in xenonhd thread is just updated TWRP and this one is a custom recovery different in many aspects. you can use both to flash 8.0 roms
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] cidxtc:
I have installed 8.x ROMs with older version and didn't notice any issues. Is there any reason I should use this version instead?

Edit: maybe I should have said is there any reason I should use this version for 8.x instead of older? Wanted to know what "install changes for 8.x" were and if I should wipe and reinstall with this version. I normally follow GitHub changes and don't have to ask stupid crap like this because I can see what changed. Being closed source I can't see what changes are. Simply stating install changes tells me nothing.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dadi11:
do what you want, I don't care. you have the changelog

Chill out man!... Thanks for your amazing work! :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dadi11:
you have flashed a rom with workaround for the outdated TWRP (removed device assert from updater-script). that's why it worked and it's not a right method to do it. The reason you should use this version is that it is updated with 8.0 changes, what is written in the changelog, besides the other changes. What I said is that I don't care if you use the old build, TWRP or anything else, because I am not here to persuade you to update or download anything and you're asking for a reason while we've worked 2 months on this update and the changelog is filled with reasons. It's all your choice and responsibility
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] cidxtc:
Your right it is my choice and responsibility. I chose to ask what the difference was so I would be a more informed user. This response (minus the bs) is what you should have said in the first place.

So thank you for a real reply this time around.

Cant see anything in aroma ..anyway to fix that ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] tres_linguas:
Just one more question did you make use of the INCREMENTAL Update or THE WHOLE ROM?

I tried it with incremental update and it did not work*. Don't know why, I followed all the steps you described. It worked with the full ROM update, though.

Specs: old Rom - miui 9 7.10.19

New Rom - miui 9 7.11.2

Red wolf recovery v 3.1.1 019

Battery - about 30%

And yes, I'm rooted ;)

*red wolf started and there was some installation process, but only for about a second. Then I was left in RWR main menu and had to reboot manually. When I was back in the system again, it said incremental update had failed and suggested to download the full Rom instead which I did (and which worked)

EDIT: found the reason - Miui incremental update support was not activated in settings. Now also the incremental updates work (if anybody had a similar problem - just select the settings in RWR as indicated here: http://en.miui.com/thread-998560-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] tres_linguas:

Because OTA survival doesn't exist as redwolf is already warning you guys.. Try to follow this guide on how to correctly flash Incremental OTA using redwolf: http://en.miui.com/thread-998560-1-1.html
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] tres_linguas:
thanks bro, but as you can see in the edit part of my post, problem was already solved ;) and it also works with build 19, the only thing I did wrong was to forget to check the box under settings-special actions - miui update support

Just for everybody who may be prone to forgetting important settings, here is what you should check immediately if having issues with the incremental update:

3.Go to advance settings in RWR and from there go to special actions and enable miui OTA update support and aggressive stock recovery deactivation and first two options (by enabling first two you need not flash lazy flasher zip). (= quote from http://en.miui.com/thread-998560-1-1.html)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ccav2000:
I received a MiUI global beta update last Friday and it failed. Guess what, I never checked that checkbox in the special actions. In 2 days there's another beta scheduled to be released, I have now updated to build 20 and did enable the MiUI incremental update support finally. Hopefully it will work.

The existence of this checkbox should be put on the OP with some kind of big notice. If it's already there I apologise, did not see it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] tres_linguas:
Is it normally possible to do a Screenshot in recovery using hardware buttons?!? As far as I know one can only do this with a certain tool from a PC while phone is connected to it via USB cable...

Like this: http://xiaomiadvices.com/take-screenshots-cwm-twrp-recovery-android/

Guess this works with RWR as well
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dadi11:
Power + Volume Down - screenshot saved on internal storage in WOLF.res/Wolf.images folder

Power + Volume Up - screenshot saved on sdcard in WOLF.res/Wolf.images folder

everything works fine for me on the latest build :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] tres_linguas:
Yes, I just tried out power & volume down, works for me, too (except for when in aroma) :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] exodius48:
It works

But in aroma i can't take screenshot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Felix Siahaan:
As I said before, I already follow all the steps from http://en.miui.com/thread-998560-1-1.html but still no luck to flash incremental OTA.

And from screenshot from [MENTION=8499226]sheeeple00[/MENTION] from here seems incremental OTA already activated.

BTW, I made a script to debloat some unuseful applications to flash via TWRP/RWR everytime I update my phone. Could it be the root cause I cannot install incremental OTA?

Edit:

Just try by myself, incremental OTA worked.

Dirty flash previous ROM and flash update zip, update succesful!

So it means that any debloat or permanent changes to system will make update fail. So I'm going to use systemless debloat now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ATG Droid:
Yeah.. Incremental OTA won't work in case that you modified something in the /system.. So just try to stay as much system-less as possible. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] bkp96:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] deolux2:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dadi11:
I think so, but we're going to use different fstab, which will allow to backup more partitions so it could be incompatible in next release
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dadi11:
RedWolf-V3.1_013

is now available in OP

- Slightly improved deactivation of the stock recovery during reboot after the zip installation

- Added ability to flash boot logo in the recovery

- Fixed firmware restoring issues

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] DarthJabba9:
No offence meant - but shouldn't ensuring full compatibility be a major goal? (else will users not become locked-in to your recovery?)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ATG Droid:
If you want to add more features then you have to do this. You can restore partitions which were made by official TWRP but you won't be able to restore some partitions from Red Wolf using the official TWRP. Because official TWRP doesn't support them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] jamez001:
No issues with it :) just go ahead, its awesome :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] DarthJabba9:

https://github.com/dadi11/twrp_mido/commit/8cbd6fdd4bad6734a09be99e685427e572845591

here you have the changes I've made to the fstab. in a short added /sec, /splash and changed mount for /modem. If anything could be wrong with restoring backups when switching from RedWolf to TWRP and vice versa, that would be firmware restoring only, but it's not confirmed yet

Same thing you can say about the password protection in the ROM. Anyway if you have password protected recovery & also the ROM then nobody can reflash your device without PC. You are just making it harder for the thief to get in to your device.
