Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. I'd be trying to fix this all day if you hadn't helped me. I was under the impression that TWRP overwrites fastboot or something. :silly:

Hi, how do we know if twrp is installed succesfully ?

when i tried to install twrp installer .zip, in device is written

"Boot image patching complete

Done installing TWRP!

Updating partition details....

...done

Unable to mount storage"

and then what should I do after this ?

wipe cache/dalvik or reboot system ?

Thx
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] d1ngh:
reboot. It should be installed permanently if you go back to recovery with power + volume up
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PC295:
I have installed TWRP sucessfully.

But root not work

Then i flash patched_boot.img again (root now works)

How can I start TWRP?

We have no plans to port MIUI to the A2 Lite - but there is a dev working on this independently.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mac12m99:
You can start TWRP by fastboot boot twrp.img, if you want both twrp and root you simply need to run twrp installer again.

This happened because twrp is inside boot image, so when you flashed patched_boot, you reflashed also stock recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PC295:
I tried it and flashed twrp-installer a second time.

However, I still have no root afterwards. :(

EDIT:

I found the solution:

You must flash Magisk-v....zip via TWRP again.

Summary: (to flash TWRP with already unlocked bootloader and root - without data lost)

1. adb reboot bootloader

2. fastboot boot twrp-daisy-3.2.3-0.img

3. Hit "Cancel" if you're prompted for a decrypt password

4. Install -> twrp-installer-daisy-3.2.3-0.zip

5. Install -> Magisk-v....zip

6. Reboot

Then you have TWRP Recovery + Root on your system :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LazyT:
Why not simply flash magisk from TWRP?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TogoFire:
Thank you. It worked.

But my external 64GB SD card is not recognized. I've only seen this problem so far.

For having tampered with the original boot img of the device and having tried the magisk I had to go back to ROM V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF via Fastboot.

I upgraded until October and then tried TWRP Official:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-daisy.img

adb push ./twrp-installer-daisy-3.2.3-0.zip / sdcard

After the above command, you can now only do this:

* Hit "Cancel" if you are prompted for a password decrypt.

Install via TWRP the file twrp-installer-daisy-3.2.3-0.zip

Still in TWRP mode, it will restart, and click Restart in recovery mode.

Once this is done, TWRP will recognize your internal storage.

And you can already install Magisk via TWRP. IMG: http://prntscr.com/l8fdgk

Ready. Enjoy.

Thx!! You forgot a reboot to recoevery between step 4 and 5. Without the reboot between i'm not able to install magisk as mounting paritions doesn't work.

You have an idea how to handle the next Novemver OTA properly?

Mine would be:

1. Restore stock boot image with magisk

2. Install ota

3. Do the steps you described?? (1-6)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] PC295:
I have use "Add more ZIPs"

That should work like this.

Only I do not know whether Magisk in this case actually restores the original boot image.

Otherwise, the original boot image would have to be flashed manually via Fastboot.

Hi,

Did you manage to get solution?

First of all, thanks to OP for your magic hard work to bring TWRP. But look like I have same problem as above. Install, and boot to TWRP. Then boot again to system. all no problem. I m on October 2018 security patch.

Today back to TWRP and back up current stock rom. backup was successful. After reboot to system and factory reset. Problem start.

Phone always boot back to TWRP no matter you choose slot A or B.

Restore backup from TWRP. Again Phone boot only to TWRP.

Finally I have to use mi flash and everything start over. Anyone tried, restore TWRP function?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bmoke:
Another point and/or question... If TWRP is installed, and then Magisk is installed next, Then, isn't the existing boot.img, which now contains TWRP, over-written, or replaced, with the Magisk patched boot.img, during the installation of Magisk? It would seem that after that initial successful installation of TWRP, there is no longer a virgin OEM copy of the boot.img. And, after the installation of Magisk, the current boot.img containing TWRP has then been modified (patched) to a boot.img that now does not contain TWRP. So, you would lose the custom recovery when you install Magisk on top? This goes to the question raised by PC295 above.

Hello every one,

I'm noob on XDA and I have some idiotique questions:

Since modules can be installed/uninstalled with magisk and TWRP, can't we juste install the TWRP zip as module with magisk? if no is it possible?

I saw that the zip TWRP has a magiskboot file inside, what does that mean? is he using a patched boot with magisk?

Sorry for my english...

Creating backups works fine.

I have not tried the restoration yet.

But should work without problems when BOOT is backed up.

I can only try it when a new update is available:

I think, when a new security update is released, the original boot image must be restored. (Manually from OTA)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After updating, repeat steps 1-6

TWRP issues

I have tried installing TWRP on complete fresh install with no configurations set and otherwise. But Everytime I make a backup of my system on TWRP subsequently it fails to reboot. When I select internal storage it shows size as 0 mb, plus can't see the ext sdcard.

Am I doing something wrong or TWRP not totally bug free.

What I did was

1: Unlock bootloader

2: From fastboot used TWRP img to flash the TWRP zip file

3: Then booted into TWRP recovery, works initially.

I was able to boot to system, but after setting my pin and password and configurations, when booted into TWRP again asked for password when I chose cancel can't see the internal storage or external. And when I factory reset it is stuck on boot screen, so had to miflash it.

I have tried it with configured and un configured system, no use. Also after installing TWRP security update fails to install.

I'd like to get root now - usually TWRP prompts to install the TWRP-app which will give you root, but in this case it didn't. So I tried to install the lates stable magisk (Magisk-v17.1.zip from github). Pushed it via adb, but then I get the error "Unable to mount partition", and the installation process fails.

TWRP issues

I just wonder if some on forum have had success with install and use of this TWRP. Because seemingly OP is not responding to any suggestions or questions. And as far as I can tell the TWRP shouldn't have been posted on official TWRP site. Since it can cause problems for people installing it thinking it to be a stable recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] opal06:
It works well, if installed properly like described in OP. It is extremly important to boot the image first, than flash zip and you can use it perfectly for flashing zips, making backups etc. Only thing that did not work was ext. SDcard. But flashing runs without errors and that's most important, isn't it?

Note that mounting won't work in booted TWRP, you MUST flash zip file from OP to get it working nicely. It also will work with Magisk if you install Magisk after TWRP. As for how Magisk and TWRP work on devices without recovery partition, this procedure will be common to all recoveries. People that complain here mostly did not properly read and install TWRP...

i was also boot loop into the twrp but i dont know what to do else.

remember to select Slot B prior flash the patched_boot

It worked and managed to boot up.

Edit 1: When reboot, it went to twrp bootloop again. have to flash patched_boot to fully boot up...miflash again and stay away from twrp :crying:

Edit 2: Done miflash and wondered why they released official twrp if not working...decided to try again

- Miflash v9.6.4

- fastboot oem unlock

- fastboot boot patched_boot and reboot

- fastboot boot twrp-daisy-3.2.3-0.img

- booting to twrp (wow no decrypt prompt)

- adb push ./twrp-installer-daisy-3.2.3-0.zip /sdcard

- Install twrp-installer-daisy-3.2.3-0.zip

- adb push ./Magisk-v17.3.zip /sdcard

- Install Magisk-v17.3.zip

- Reboot "System" (make sure slot A selected)

- Done boot up. Survived many restart (without patched_boot) :D
