Help

For some reason I cant get twrp to work...once booting into recovery the mi stock version is shown...

These are my steps used within adb:

adb reboot bootlader

fastboot boot recovery.img

Then I finished the installation process within twrp and rebooted the device.

Anything I did wrong?

Thanks!

I have installed twrp 0806 and everytime I boot into recovery mode the twrp shows up for some seconds and then it just reboots, any ideas ?

FIXED: My device always booted automatically after entering in twrp because it was connected to my PC, when I disconnected it , I could easily use twrp without problems. I dont know why that issue occurs, but ive talked to another guy on a forum who had the same issue.

Make update for what? If you update from the same ROM's source you don't really need to delete data, unless the instructions ask you to.

... Finally succeeded

Finally it's working with newest version 3.2.3. Had to flash three times. After that it booted to recovery. :D

Thanks for the hints!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeeHoang:
Ohhh you flashed the 3.2.2 right? My phone can boot into the recovery right after flashing that, otherwise it'd just shown black screen.

The night I unlocked the BL I flashed those recoveries at least 10 times or so. I'm also using 3.2.3 now. I hope TWRP can work on our Mi8 soon :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rot6713:
3.2.3

No I use the 3.2.3 (latest afaik).

What happend later:

I ran then the latest MIUI 9 official OTA update, which reinstalled the Xiaomi recovery. I flashed TWRP 3.2.3 again (only once) and voila: TWRP's back. No idea, why it needs multiple flashes sometimes and sometimes one time is OK.......
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeeHoang:
If you use official firmware it'll always wipe out TWRP.

Use other ROM then TWRP might stay.

& if you can, MIUI 10 is miles better than 9.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rot6713:
Thanks for your suggestions.

I already tried it, but it ended up with a non booting device. It stayed on the MI logo. Do you have a link to a working global miui 10 beta Rom. Will then try it again. I already did a backup of the running system.....
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeeHoang:
Where did you find that ROM? I personally only trust Xiaomi.eu's creations. Their latest (8.8.16) has a lot of bugs according to the thread posts yet works flawlessly on my Mi 8.

Yea there's a problem with my phone. Everytime i plug it to my computer with twrp it crashes, making it unable to transfer files.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RainGater:
My device (MI 8) will arrive in couple of weeks from China. Here is what I plan to do and correct me if my steps will end up in a loop as well?

1. My device (MI 8) is a China variant with bootloader unlocked and global ROM installed on it. That's how the seller is going to ship it to me.

2. Flash TWRP using fastboot and reboot to recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0806-XIAOMI8-CN-wzsx150.img

fastboot flash recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0806-XIAOMI8-CN-wzsx150.img

3. In recovery,

wipe data/cache

format data

flash xiaomi.eu_multi_MI8_8.8.24_v10-8.1.zip.

Is this ROM stable with face unlock and other essential things working?

4. Reboot and let the apps settle.

5. Reboot to recovery again and flash latest magisk (Magisk-v16.0.zip) to get root.

6. Reboot

Anything else I missed?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] altvolt74:
thats how will work.... so you can lock your phone whit Chinese stock firmware HOWEVER..... (THERES AN STABLE MIUI GLOBAL 9X WHICH U CAN RELOCK/UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER IN CASE U MESSUP IN MI FLASH AN (FLASH/LOCK) YOUR DEVICE ......BUT I WILL NOT SUGGEST YOU TO STAY UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AS U CAN SEE MANY HAS BRICKED)

Now..... the other method is Mi Flash since ur unlock you just can flash latest miui 10 beta and follow just step 3.x .......... JUST THE SAKE OF GOD (ON WINDOW RIGHT LOWER CORNER CHECK... (FLASH) BEST OPTION SINCE YOUR GONA WIPE IT ANYWAY.........OR (FLASH/ERASE)...........DONT FOR ANY REASON (((((FLASH/ERASE/LOCK))))))
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RainGater:
Thank you for the response.

Ok, if I understand you correctly, the process is to:

1. Go to Developer option / unlock status / add device mi account. Since mine is already unlocked, will I still be able to add my MI account to the device?

2. I didn't quite get what you are saying with this statement: "Find my phone (off) - "DO NOT FORGET THIS ACCOUNT"?"

3. In this step "3.c advance settings / install root", does it install Magisk? So, no need to flash Magisk separately?

4. So before flashing MIUI 10, are you suggesting to reboot the system after setting up root (option 3.c above)?

Xiaomi really messed up with this flashing process by bricking devices. Why can't they simply add a check to see if it's a china variant on a global ROM, do not lock it even if the user requests it? Shouldn't be hard!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] altvolt74:
:)

1.-2. ... is just incase u setup ur mi account (FIND MY PHONE).. (since that will activate frp)now....to unlock your bootloader ...for that u go developer option setting/unlock status/ add device to mi account then go their wesite download their software log in .......but in ur case ur already unlock and this will help u to regain access to mi bootloader unlock account wich was bounded to the Chinese reseler .....and since is ur device u should

.....(now is 50/50 xiaomi fault and consumer ....xiaomi for not advertising and consumer for buying unlocked phone bounded to someone else account)

3. yes will install magisk 16.7

4. yeah cuz ur internal memory will be empty so u can transfer the file im unsure if latest twrp fix it perhaps i have it installed but haven't try it but just to be sure ur in the good path of installing trough recovery......if for some reason bootloop download latest miui u want to install and fallow second method i provide u wich is easier .....JUST DONT FORGET TO UNSTICK >FLASH/ERASE/LOCK TO CHANGE IT TO

(((( FLASH/ERASE)))))

and then again 3x ...

Decrypt Data Show in TRWP Whats Going on?

Request a Password to Decrypt Mount on TRWP
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RainGater:
Thank you for taking time to explain this laborious process. Xiaomi made it really hard with MI8.

Since the phone is already bound to the reseller in China, if I ever brick my device, I won't be able to unlock it easily. So, in order to avoid that, I have to add my MI account (which I created couple of days back) to MI 8.

Once I add my account to the device (developer options/unlock status/add device), will the device be unbound from the reseller's account and tied to mine? If that is the case, then there is NO need to flash China ROM, lock the bootloader, unlock it using my account, flash Global ROM, etc?

So, TWRP was not able to copy the file from the computer to internal memory after formatting data? Was that the issue?

One last question: I always like to encrypt the device. So, will I be to encrypt the device as the bootloader is unlocked, rooted, etc?

PS: I haven't received my device yet and that's why I am asking all these *stupid* questions ;)

hi, i need help, today i unlock my bootloader on my mi 8 (i'm on CN miui version), then i flash twrp, boot up, copy EU beta ROM, flash through twrp, then i back to wipe menu , slide the bar, and boot up, but the phone won't pass android splash screen 10min+, after that i try to press the power button, the phone restart but on the screen big battery icon show up and do nothing, no android splash screen whatsoever, and then i remember maybe because i do not wipe cache / dalvik through twrp, i boot up through twrp and wipe (dalvik, data,internal, cache, system). after that still big battery icon show up & even i try to press power button + vol up, splash twrp wont let me pass. now i can't get in twrp menu & weirdly power button + vol down doesn't show fastboot icon instead show the big battery icon.

note : i cant turn off the phone, it keep restarting even i try to hold power button longer.
