Okay, I did everything.

Long time use Red Wolf, always do full install of rom. Try use OTA feature.

Turn on "Support MIUI Incremental OTA" and "Include System in OTA Survival", flash full ROM (because instruction) and wait OTA update.

MI application detect next OTA, press update and wait. OTA downloaded and reboot to recovery, and NOTHING.

Come to INSTALL option and manual select downloaded OTA, swipe to install and get error: Corrupted zip bla bla bla.

Reboot to OS, and some application dissapear (google plus, viber, facebook and etc) - WTF???

OK! going to MI update site and manual download OTA update, put to phone and go to recovery, come to INSTALL option and manual select downloaded OTA, swipe to install and get same error: corrupted zip bla bla bla.

If you can able boot your device into RedWolf recovery (must be on latest version) then just try and do clean install. Format the data first followed by necessary wipes under advance wipe options. Flash any custom roms & gapps if required, wipe cache at the end and reboot the device!

And if you've already did this exercise before then the best way is to restore your device to original miui stat by doing clean flash and lock bootloader using miflash tool and contact your nearest Mi service centre if your device is still under warranty period and explain them about you facing frequent reboot in the device!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nuno106:
Thanks ne0hp i will do that
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is there a way to switch from Supersu to Magisk (or vice versa)? I installed Supersu via Redwolf. It works ofc but there is no "app" for it in the drawer or some way to even configure or uninstall it. I tried to just install Magisk over it via Redwolf but it fails. I tried to install it via Magisk Manager and it still fails with the "please restore stock boot image" error. So, if you choose one, you have to stick with it? If that right, I would rather install a root application the old way (downloading and flashing) as being able to directly install it via Redwolf will just save you some time on your first root.

Anyway, some kind of faq or readme for Redwolf would be great. Otherwise, I'm loving this recovery, its the best I ever had.

EDIT: just to clarify something, I installed supersu via redwolf however, I don't have an app for supersu. In fact, I wouldn't even know that I have su if some apps wouldn't recognize it. So yeah, I have definitely supersu installed without having an app for it to be configured or uninstalled. I suppose that this shouldn't be like this? I have the latest version of Cardinal AOSP, maybe its because of the rom.

Edit2: I fixed it myself by flashing the boot.IMG from the cardinal rom. For some reason, the last time I rooted, it didn't create a backup of the stock boot.IMG.

Same..still on version 023 of redwolf twrp but looks like OTA isn't working.

Hi guys. One quick question. I installed everything and last ota update was great. Reboot to recovery and automatically flash it. But now I have magisk with xposed installed. Do I need to Uninstall magisk and xposed before I do the update? Or I have to flash it again? Or I do nothing?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] reven20:
Yes. I install the recovery and made the configuration , do a dirty flash of an old global version to test it. Install magisk, reboot and do the ota update. The first time reboot to recovery and nothing. I reboot and make the ota install again and it worked! New 9.2 miui working fine :cool:

I've just received notice of an update (v9.2.1.0.NCFMIEK) and I'm not sure how I'm meant to install it, so thought I'd better check rather than trying to work it out and breaking my phone!

I let the update download and it prompted me to reboot, so I did and it booted into Redwolf but it didn't do anything like install the update. So I went into the settings and "Support MIUI Incremental OTA" and "Include System in OTA Survival" weren't checked (these settings never seem to survive a reboot), so do I need to check them, then go back to the main RedWolf menu and click on Install and navigate to the download which is in downloaded_rom?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] saransh arya:
Boot into recovery- Advanced- special actions- support MIUI incremental OTA and include system in OTA survival,boot into system download the update once more and see if it works! Hope it helped you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] doveman:
OK thanks, it worked now. I did it slightly differently, well it did it automatically. I downloaded the update, rebooted into recovery, went and ticked those two options and then when I rebooted to System it automatically installed the update this time :)

Only thing now is I've lost root. I went into Red Wolf to reinstall Magisk but it says "File not found, please reinstall recovery from image" (I'm going by memory so that might not be the exact wording). It says the same if I select SuperSu. So do I just need to boot into recovery and re-flash RedWolf-024-mido.img from here? https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-4/...t/recovery-red-wolf-recovery-project-t3653704

I can not or do not know how to use Magisk or SuperSU with Redwolf 0.26 on my Mido device. Before I flashed RedWolf I had TWRP on it and flashed each time a weekly new Lineageos came out the SuperSu again since otherwise it was gone. LineAge updates seemed to overwrite the SuperSu changes.

So I went for Redwolf since it support natively to root devices and hoped that I would not have to reflash SuperSu each time.

Anyhow, as said I do not know how to.

All I can do and still have to do is to reflash the same SuperSu.zip 2.82 I used with TWRP :(

Hello :)

First at all - thank you for RedWolf! I have only a short question about the "Include system in ota survival".

Without this option OTA wont work for me at all. My System stuck at the bootlogo and never "boot" (no android boot logo).

With the option (an first a full rom flash for the system image) the ota updates works good, but i lose all my custom system modifications.

I also lost magisk in the /boot partition.

Is this normal? I understood the function as preserving system modifications. Is this wrong?

Sorry for the bad english btw.

RedWolf cannot perform Incremental OTA installation

I downgraded to Redwolf v22 as I couldn't find the 'Special Actions' option in v027 and also it was mentioned somewhere that RedWolf supports incremental OTA only upto v23.

Downloaded the incremental via updater and upon reboot to recovery, I get this screen for a second and then it is just the usual Redwolf recovery interface without any installation.

Please help.

I even tried switching back to Mi recovery, still incremental OTA doesn't work. What is needed in addition to reverting back to Mi recovery? Locking bootloader perhaps?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ATG Droid:
Recovery isn't yet compatible with treble devices such as Note 5 Pro, so this guide might won't work on them. On Note 4, 027 was few times re-uploaded after the XDA release on our server to fix some issues. If you now download 027 build for your device and follow this guide, it will work. Don't use any outdated builds.. it's useless.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinay2201:
Mate you will not find Special Actions in v027 because it doesn't have it. Read the thread whole you understand. There is already a screenshot where it shows the option for OTA updates and in this thread a user has put a video in comments section. You will understand how OTA works on v027.

I can't update ota miui v9.5.11.0 with redwolf v.27. I have to download the full rom (1.3 G) as I did with twrp. What is the problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] xaftessest6300:
OTA to 9.5.11 works for me on Note 4 global.

But for real, i don't understand the benefits of OTA survival. If i use ota survival, i have to use ~3GB intern memory and with every update it writes over 6GB on the NAND! Writing the system images, patching the system, make a system_img backup. Also it clear dalvik/cache every time, so the reboot needs longer than normal.

And it does an auto reboot after the update, so you have to manually shutdown / go to recovery for re-root your device, if you use root.

Maybe I miss something, but a fullflash in the recovery is faster, I can root directly after the flash and the NAND gets used much less for write actions.

If i am wrong with that, please corrects me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] memeda:
your file ota incremental full rom or just 62mb?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] xaftessest6300:
Small OTA file, not the full rom. If your OTA fails at the first attempt the updater will give you the full rom at the second try.

But this does change nothing on OTA survival.

If you though want the small OTA file you can simply delete all data under "installed apps / updates (app)" [clear data / all data]. After that reboot and MiUI will show you the small OTA file in the updater again.

HF & happy computing.

Hello everyone, I have a question about the OTA survival process. When I update my phone, Redwolf makes a backup of the boot and image in a folder called WOLF. Last night, I updated my phone but I decided to restore the backup. I was surprise to see that I still was on the latest version and not the one which should be backed up.

So my question is : do Redwolf make a backup after the update? And if not, why did it restore the same build version?

thanks!

Do we really have to clean flash some full MIUI ROM or can we just flash this recovery using an app such as Flashify for example? If not, then can I clean flash a full MIUI ROM using TWRP without a PC and then flash rw using Flashify?

Edit: Oh I just realized I got a little confused with the steps. So my question is, can we install rw using an app such as Flashify and not a pc? If yes, then is it absolutely necessary to clean flash some full MIUI ROM for this to work? And one more thing, if I backup my data using the Backup feature in the settings, will I be able to restore it after clean flashing that same version I am currently running?
