Extremely slow boot after backup of modem and vendor partitions

A word of warning. I performed a backup of all partitions available in the Backup menu of TWRP and experienced enormous delays during all stages of boot process afterwards. Complete cold boot might take 20 minutes or so.

The conclusion I made is that the way this TWRP performs backup touches partition filesystems. As a result they are counted as modified and cannot be verified. For example, this is what adb logcat showed during attempt to install January 2019 update:

E update_engine: [0123/005406.974367:ERROR:delta_performer.cc(990)] The hash of the source data on disk for this operation doesn't match the expected value. This could mean that the delta update payload was targeted for another version, or that the source partition was modified after it was installed, for example, by mounting a filesystem.

So be carefull with this TWRP ;)

PS The obvious fix for that is reflashing vendor.img and modem.img to the slot which you backed up and which is active (say, A; then fastboot flash modem_a modem.img and fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] foudroid:
Should find a fix for that !!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] peoeope:
I tested this, and it didnt work. When i booted into recovery, my phone showed something like that its broken or something (i flashed the stock rom and everything was fine)

I booted to twrp using this command: fastboot boot twrp.img (i renamed the twrp for easier flash)

and when twrp was booted, i ran the installer which, which i downloaded from the official twrp site (https://dl.twrp.me/daisy/)

the intsaller showed no errors

i clicked on reboot, power off

When my phone was off, i pressed the volume up + power button at the same time to boot into twrp (which should be installed), but then it gave me the weird message from your phone has been destroyer.

i flashed the stock rom using miflashtool and my phone is working fine now.

but i still want to know if there is any way to install twrp that actually works.

Thanks in advance

I do not understand. until yesterday I installed the twrp without any problem starting the boot of the twrp, and from there I flash the appropriate zip of the twrp. today instead I had to do a flash stock, and I can not install it with the old procedure. Despite the start and flash, "system as been destroyed" appears. how is it possible that I can not flash anymore? tips?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] opal06:
As stated multiple times in this very same thread, "System has been destroyed" error can be fixed by flashing aboot.img to both aboot_a and aboot_b partition.

You can find aboot.img in 9.11 firmware or by searching this thread.

What do you see while trying to get fastboot mode? What does your computer say it sees on USB bus?

In theory you should get to fastboot if your aboot contents is from emmc_appsboot.mbn file for your device.

If you made it wrong, then EDL mode through test point is for you, see e.g. https://en.miui.com/thread-3524265-1-1.html

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Shiryu:
Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much! :) Your description helped me a lot :)

... but id didtn't solved all my problems. So little update for others:

I wasn't able to use this command. So instead I used this:

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-daisy.img

Once booted into TWRP, I went to Reboot section and selected second Slot (which typically means B - if A was shown in p. 3).

Next:

You don't need to reboot to fastboot as Reboot -> Select Slot option in TWRP does the same.

After that I got working system... with "System has been destroyed" error :eek:

So I get into bootloader again, and then:

fastboot flash aboot_a aboot.img
fastboot flash aboot_b aboot.img
fastboot reboot

aboot.img file is easy to find in this thread ;)

Solution for the bootlooping into recovery

I managed to get around that ! After installing the TWRP it booted only to twrp even when restarting to system.

I simply rebooted to bootloader, then booted on the patched magisk boot then rebooted succesfully to system and installed Magisk. After that the twrp worked perfectly!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Wish I had know that before just doing a MiFlash and starting from scratch :P
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fake__knv:
Thanks for the hard work :D

Im on stock rom with Magisk installed.

I tried the guide, did a factory reset on the TWRP(temp)

Installed the ZIP

Rebooted(reboots to twrp)

Tried to boot in a patched boot img for magisk.

It boots to system but its stuck in the lines anim.

Waiting for 5 minutes then I will reflash stock and do it again.

I need halp tho hahaha
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Just so people don't think they can brick their phones with this, as long as you have MiFlash and don't lock bootloader by mistake, you'll always be fine.

In any case I got this to run, flashed a few times to get HavocOS Pie (GSI) to work but it'll simply bootloop no matter what I do. I'll just wait for native ROMs :P Running TWRP, Stock Rom w/ latest OTA and Magisk.

Just a question: After TWRP is installed and running can one set up from fingerprint and pattern or is it safer not to?

In any case, great work! Had been waiting on this for a while!

I did try to boot on just twrp. But it keeps rebooting to TWRP.

I have just reflashed stock. Trying this again. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
If it helps here's my path from MiFlash to TWRP/Magisk Stock:

1. Complete fresh start. I started on 9.6.4.0 (?) Whatever is on Xiaomi's website.

2. Skip all configuration, install both OTAs.

3. After all OTAs have been installed, factory reset. When that's done, skip all configuration again.

4. Enable USB debugging, do what's mentioned in OP/Post #1.

5. TWRP asked me for a password. Skip. ADB push again, install. Reboot recovery.

6. TWRP is booting. Reboot system and see if it boots, in my case it did.

7. adb reboot recovery, see if TWRP is still there (it was), flash Magisk using zip from its thread.

8. Finally done, can use phone normally.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fake__knv:
Alright. After a bootloop and a minute of eternity for MiFlashTool to complete reflashing, here is the CLEAN INSTALL guide.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IN CASE YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE! FOLLOW THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

1. Flash STOCK ROM thru MiFlashTool. I used the daisy_global_images_V9.6.4.0.ODLMIFF_8.1

2. After reflashing, the phone will reboot. Finish the setup first then activate OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.

NOTE: Dont add pin, fingerprint, nor password just to be safe. :p

3. Reboot to fastboot mode then unlock your phone's bootloader by typing

fastboot oem unlock

Your phone will, once again, reboot.

4. Download the TWRP files. (The ZIP and the IMG). You might also want to download platform-tools and extract it.

5. Move both the TWRP files into the platform-tools folder.

6. Fire up a command prompt inside the platform-tools folder then type this commands IN ORDER:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-daisy.img

Wait for your phone to reboot to TWRP. After it reboots into TWRP, use this command to push the TWRP ZIP file into your phone's internal storage.

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

7. Flash the TWRP ZIP file. After flashing, reboot into system and viola! You have a TWRP installed in your phone :D

P.S: I've done this myself so no need to be afraid of being bricked lol

OBSERVATIONS: Through this steps, the TWRP did not prompt for decryption. It booted right into the TWRP main screen and it also said that it successfully decrypted data. Going to root my phone via TWRP next. :good::laugh::laugh:

You should install twrp on stock boot.img before magisk or any other modification. Otherwise twrp will not be installed permanently.

Also you need to fastboot flash aboot image of 9.6.4 at the end, otherwise device bootloops into twrp all the time.
