Guys after I Updated the MIUI.eu I cannot boot into recovery, I tried to reflash it, and flash the newest version but the issue persist, do you have any advice for me? thanks

EDIT: It seems an encryption problem
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] acctest12:
Same problem here and i have no rom. So i cant boot, only in fastboot. Need help too please.

booting...

FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] portfolio:
to get Back a working System, you probably have to do a new Setup Using Miflash-/Fastboot Procedure.

Look for IT in an how-to-unbrick thread. Same helped me also once
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] blackpanther0582:
I am not sure what when wrong to you . The steps j followed works perfectly for me till except the backup part . After I unlocked bootloader I directly flashed twrp v11 . The first thing I did after flashing is I formatted the data partition . Then after reboot back to recovery k flashed miui.eu and magisk19 all good to go . So far so good no issues at all. Even I have done a dirty flash update yesterday to the latest eu ROM. If your device has ROM other than global you need to flash correct dtbo to have recovery access . Or flash miui global and repeat all steps again .

[MENTION=7118386]portfolio[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3599409]blackpanther0582[/MENTION], thx, now i got all i want.

i try to flash so much roms but only Android Q Beta 3 work for me to flash with xiaomi flash.

Than i flash TWRP from first poste here. My last step was to flash my rom i want 2 with TWRP.

Thanks! I have 2 sleep now couse my brain feel flashed too =)

guys two day ago i flashed xiaomi.eu 9.5.9 and now i lost twrp, and lashing doesnt drk either
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xephyris:
Off a freshly unlocked Global Mi 9, I tried to flash this TWRP v11, but after rebooting to recovery found that it was still on the default Mi 9 recovery. I tried this two more times, with the same result.

After recalling the definition of insanity, I tried flashing wzsx150's TWRP 3.3.0 Beta 9, which worked. I then flashed this TWRP, and it worked too. It now works as I would expect.

Thank you for this recovery.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SlugUnchained:
Hello there

I'm not a great expert on MIUI or Android Modding, but i can't figure why this TWRP doesn't work.

Well, I managed to unlock bootloader, and after flashing the recovery.img via fastboot, can't enter into TWRP but only on stock recovery.

I suppose this is a problem related to encryption. Can't turn it off, even with cleaning data with stock recovery. There is something else I can try?

Firmware is Global 10.2.24.0

Pic related for the encryption issue. Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dariusdd:
Try rebooting using the vol up + power buttons after you flash the image instead of using fastboot commands. I think that was the recovery key combination anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SlugUnchained:
I didn't use any fastboot command except "flash recovery". The problem is get into stock recovery, not twrp. Since in every recovery post there is written encryption not supported, and I know for sure my device is encrypted, my main focus is find a way to remove that.

Removing fingerprint and password didn't work out, nor cleaning data from the settings or the command in stock recovery. I really hope I don't wasted the only chance to get root permissions
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TobiPeter:
Don't worry, you just won't be able to see your files because of encryption.

So you opened command line in the folder you downloaded the file to and entered "fastboot flash recovery [img-name]"?

When I remember correctly, the downloaded file is called "recovery.img", so you entered "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"?

And it didn't end with an error?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SlugUnchained:
I'm afraid you get me wrong.

The phone is working flawlessly, the bootloader is unlocked, but no twrp, so no root.

About fastboot, I did enter that command and I don't exactly remember what it said, but there were no errors.

After the first attempt, I tried again the same command, no errors again, but didn't work.

EDIT: Managed to make it work. After fastboot i succeed to get into twrp by combination key and flashed magisk through abd push
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ducter:
Thanks op. Works great on my global device. Unlocked bootloader, booted to fastboot and flashed your recovery. Button combination to boot to recovery and formatted data, wipe, back to fastboot and flashed floko, back to recovery and flashed opengapps nano and magisk. Didn't have much luck with TMobile, LTE, messaging on floko so used your recovery again and installed ros and magisk. No complaints. Thank you.

Voted 5 stars. No idea why it was only 2 stars.. What's wrong with people?

Just so everyone is aware caf pushed sm8150 source finally. Right now I'm working on trying to get lineage set up to work with the new stuff, setting up to build from cafs manifest for aosp, and making us a clean kernel from caf source. Be patient this takes time
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Ducter:
That's great news. This is a really nice phone but for me personally, MIUI ruins it. I can't say if it's just me being use to OnePlus and pixel devices or not but MIUI seems counterintuitive.

Global Beta ROM 9.5.16?

Anyone tried on Global Beta ROM 9.5.16? Caused bootloop on Chinese Beta tho.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Used "fastboot flash recovery" command, tried both "fastboot reboot" command also "Vol+ and Power". Mi logo popped and blinked once after a while, I guess it bypassed the recovery and straight into system. Anyone have any clue here? Any chance that the ROM is still too new?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Dariusdd:
The same thing happened to me today when I was attempting to flash the new MIUI update. It might just be that I never rebooted to recovery while on the previous (9.5.9) version of the software, and thus why I never noticed it.

Probably related to the undocumented kernel changes Xiaomi introduced not long ago.

Hi, I have xiaomi mi 9 MIUI global 10.2 Stable. It was unlocked via official xiaomi miflash unlock a couple days ago. I installed TWRP from this post, Unofficial TWRP recovery 3.3.0 b8 by LR.Team/wzsx150, and I actually opened up TWRP custom recovery with Volume up + Power key ONE TIME. After that, I cannot go back to TWRP again... I attempted different TWRP custom recovery, such as this post's TWRP 3.3.1-7. I could not get into TWRP custom recovery at all.. everytime I tried Volume up + Power key, it always went back to stock recovery screen. I went a few posts saying that the phone or Google? will attempt to change back to stock custom recovery? I'm not sure if this is the case... How do I fix this?

Thank you

After flashing twrp on pc in fastboot mode, press and hold volume up and power together. Keep holding for several seconds until device reboots, when it vibrates, let go of power button but keep volume up pressed until it boots into twrp. Then disconnect from pc. Twrp should now be permanent

Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> choose System and tap Repair or change File System.

You don't need bootloader to install miui 10 9.6.13 beta. You can flash it through fastboot. Thats what i did and flashed twrp v12 from this post. You must to wipe your data, no format needed. And then rooted with Magisk 19.3 through twrp.

If you just wiped your data fbe is working.

I had to flash twrp 3 times, it just came back to mi 3.0 bootloader.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MaleSamus:
After a RMA, I received a replacement Pixel 2 XL and noticed the speakers sound different. The bottom (right) speaker has more bass whilst the top (left) speaker lacks it. This is noticeable all the time for me. When I cover the speakers with my thumbs to identify the issue more, the top speaker sounds very different for vocals, drums and guitars. I'm not sure if this is normal for this phone as my RMA was for another issue with the top speaker so I am wondering if this is normal. I have read people saying the top speaker is quieter and a few with this issue but I'm wondering if it's an issue that can be resolved through another RMA or if it's normal.

It would help if people with Pixel 2 XL's test their phone speakers to see if they experience what I do. A good left right speaker test is https://youtu.be/hTvJoYnpeRQ and when you rotate your phone, the left and right speakers should flip and the audio saying left should have more bass as the phone flips the channels. It would also be nice if you would check with music to see more clearly.

All in all, should the speakers sound different or should they sound the same?

Thanks.
