Wanted to post in this thread to say that the TWRP posted by OP works. I followed more detailed instructions found on other threads but used this recovery.

Installed the recovery and rooted my global rom with global firmware (11.0.2) without issues.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kyroenz:
is it run at MIUI 11.0.2.0 PGGIDXM ?

Hello All,

New to Xiaomi devices, I was wondering if we can just 'boot' those TWRP recovery or if with that device we can only flash them?

I just got unlocked yesterday, and so far my attempts only 'booting' failed.

I am usually reluctant to flash recovery when it is only to make a backup or something and not to change stuff, but well if you tell me I have no other choices, well no other choices that is :p

Regards.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xstage:
Yes you correct now i have permanent twrp, thnks
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TimeSeal:
When I do the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says "FAILED (remote: 'not allowed in locked state')" my device isn't rooted. I am doing this to let me have the magisk app because aptx is not supported so how do you fix this?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
You first need to unlock bootloader through the Mi unlock procedure with a Mi account and a sim card which is likely going to ask you to wait for 7days.

Hello good job and thank you for the nice work,

I have a question,

I have version Miui 11.0.3.0 PGGMIXM on the device.

Does the new version work for this device?

And does root work and if which version?

regards Blei
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
Actually that's exactly what I would like to do, but booting does not seem to work with any of the 3 available versions of TWRP I could find here on XDA. Like you I am very reluctant to flash stuff straight out from the box, and on my other devices booting recovery from fastboot was just working fine. Not here. I order to try one of those TWRP to make a backup, I had to flash it.

If anyone managed to only boot it I am very curious to know how he managed to do that.

Regards.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] didikchool:
is it working?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lightman33:
All is fine (TWRP and root) with MIUI Global 11.0.2 (PGGMIXM). You should look at the Xiaomi changelog for differences betwn 11.0.2 and 11.0.3 versions.

I have posted a little howto in post #113 (take a look here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81272623&postcount=113)

If you got problem (bootloop or other), you can re-flash complete ROM to recover your phone.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
Out of curiosity, has anyone using this TWRP version successfully restored a full backup made by that same version of TWRP without issues, meaning not only userdata, but system, boot, recovery, data?

Because it's great to 'Feel safe' making backups (me) but I'd rather avoid being sorry when the times come to make a restore.

Really confused with which TWRP/Recovry version to use since they are a few UNOFFICIAL in competition.

Thanks,

When i made the first backup i pressed compression so later i had problem restoring data. I had to flash stock rom again.i made another backup without compresion and restore worked fine. Also keep in mind that backup might not work if you have a fingerprint or passcode enabled.other than that you will have no issue
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lightman33:
Can't help you because I'm using TB to restore apps.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
Many thanks for the heads up! I am going to remake a backup without compression (just in case). It makes no sense compression could alter datas, but maybe this UNOFFICIAL TWRP is broken somehow. I'd rather have an bigger backup than a smaller one which does not work when I need it :p

What do you mean when you say if you have fingerprint and passcode backup might not work?

If i dont forget my passcode how could it be problem? You mean TWRP does not support that?

Regards.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ariber14:
There have been reports that if you have a pascode or fingerprint security you won't be able to make a backup on twrp.it will break.just remove security before you do it. I didn't tried it but i since i had error on restoring data because of enabling compression,it's no wonder it might be true.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
Gotcha! Will make sure to remember that before making backups.

But we agree that above Android 7 encryption of phone system is mandatory we are only talking about any screen lock right? Phone remains encrypted regardless of locking screen or not I think (thus from my point of view I don't exactly see the point of the encryption when not locked/protected by a passcode/fingerprint or something). I have not messed around with all the security features of the phone yet, so not sure if that option is there or not (not sure if its a stock pie feature), but on my LOS16 tab (based on pie), I have the option to lock the tablet right on boot before system start up and that caused me some problems before. Might be the same here.

Thanks a lot for your help!

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
Just thinking about this, what about second space? If you enable this feature (pretty handy one) you have to set a password (or it would not make any sense), have you tried restoring such a setup yet?

I guess I will have to test all those before going to full setup of both spaces (Personal/Professional) because it will take some time to tune everything right.

Regards.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ariber14:
No i haven't tried second space.i don't even know what is that about
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
I am going to try it and report before installing everything.

[MENTION=8922766]ariber14[/MENTION]: FYI second space allows you to have 2 completely different desktops on the same phone, with separated set of files and separated set of apps (multiple accounts possible this way). It is ideal for having for example a personal space, and a business space even when only using 1 SIM.

You can have notifications from a space to the other one if you needed it, or have those space completely separated just like you had no phones.

What will trigger the space you jump into is the pin you are going to type in, so none can know you have like 2 phones within 1 if you don't tell.

Of course other uses are possible like hiding apps in first space to have them in second space (and vice versa)

Hope this helps.

Regards.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ariber14:
Nice.i like that. I will try it at some point
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
It is a very good feature, I highly recommend it.

But I still have to find a way to manually backup the Second Space settings, because so far, none of the TWRP around supports making a backup when it is on, which is a big issue for me.

I felt slightly kamikaze the other day so I went on trying backing up/restores before going further and also to know how much I could trust my own made backups.

Version 11.04 of this TWRP (as well as previous version 09.24) flash correctly on EEA phone w/ EEA Pie Rom (I cannot just boot them fyi) and work with both backup and restore of recommended Nandroid backups, which means, boot, data, system-image w/ or w/o compression on (I tested both myself, flawless)

Version 12.10 does not work on Pie at all, I know it supports android 10, but it thought it would also work on Pie, but no.

[MENTION=8635011]fi4tch[/MENTION] I am not sure if anyone can get in touch with this TWRP dev/team (LR) but I am willing to report the following issue.

As soon as you enable Second Space, w/ or w/o password (does not matter I tested both), it breaks the backup process at data after just a few % with code ERROR: 255 .

Please see attached pictures.

I'm on eu rom 10.4.5.0 with twrp 3.3.1 version 0924. Later i might try havoc os or eu 11.0.3. so what is the best twrp and how do i install it?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
I am on EEA MIUI 11.0.2.0 on EEA device and for now I dont need to update or flash something else, until I find something that annoys me and could be fixed doing so :p

Myself I do not want TWRP to stick on recovery at the moment, so I do not mind it to be replaced when I reboot.

In fact I would have liked to only be able to boot it instead of flashing it, but sadly that does not work. It being replaced at reboot, kind of result into the same.

That LR version of TWRP you are using seems to be the one to use since you have options to root, close avb 2.0 and things like rm dm veryfy for encrypt included within, so you dont need to go get files elsewhere.

Now for custom roms, if you use this phone as your daily driver, besides xiaomi.eu Pie (android 9) roms which seems pretty stable from what users seems to say, you may want to wait a bit more :p

Good Luck!

I'm on miui 11.0.3 indian stable. I have successfully installed root via magisk in my device.

Whenever i boot into twrp, all my folder names of internal storgae are shown with absurd names. While in all other folders, like sd card and others, name are being displayed correctly. Don't know why twrp is not able to read folders of my internal storage.

I didn't have space on sd card so I tried to movie zip file in my otg pen drive and then tried to flash zip "

miui_BEGONIAININGlobal_V11.0.4.0.PGGINXM_8f956c6413_9.0.zip" but as usual received zip is corrupt error message.

Now don't know what to do. Please help.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
When I was testing stuff on the device before I put it in service, I remember I encountered this problem once with TWRP, and once when setting up Second Space which was also giving me garbage names from within that second space file explorer.

That's likely some kind of bug with the decryption of encrypted data.

Both time I flashed back my previously made Nandroid backup before I had touched anything (or set pin pattern or any lock), and restarted what I was doing.

It did not reappear.

So I dont know what I did wrong the first time, entering wrong decryption pin/pattern or whatever, but I have not redone it it seems. Also what does your TWRP log says at startup, does it says Decryption succeeded?

Note that once you enable either root or Second Space feature, you wont be able to make TWRP backups of data partition anymore. Might also be the case with Cloned app feature idk, I have not tested that.

For the zip corrupted message, when I tried to patch zips from within TWRP I had to disable that setting I had turned on myself, which was to verify .zip signatures in options. Seems those recovery roms do not have any. After it worked.

Hope this helps,

Anyone know how to safely update to the latest Global ROM (11.0.6) via dirty flashing? Currently on 11.0.2 global. Is it as simple as downloading the update.zip and flashing it and redoing avb, magisk, etc or do I have to settle with fastboot flashing, losing all data, and reflashing twrp?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] khb8255@gmail.com:
good
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Muad.Dib:
From what I read from other posts, if you are native Global on Global phone (and not China phone where it would likely result in bricking the device) which you simply rooted and if you HAVE NOT messed around with system partition (otherwise you first need to flash back stock one), you "may" only have to unroot (Magisk) before you simply update either with the zip or the OTA directly from the MIUI update software within Android.

However I would strongly urge you to do a Nandroid backup (FULL) with TWRP on external SD/Drive before attempting that and also get a your current stock version archive in case anything goes wrong and you have to restore some partitions.

You probably know it already, but some app might misbehave after an OS update.

Let us know how it turns out.

Hope this helps,

Regards.

I just updated, following your advice. Here's what I did:

Download the OTA via System Update method. The OTA to 11.0.6 was 1.9GB in size.

Reboot to LRTWRP

Made a back up of System, System Image, NVdata, Data, etc

Then went to Advanced>Uninstall Root>Swipe Right

Then, found the download folder in Internal Storage>downloaded_rom

Flashed as Normal

Hit wipe cache/Dalvik cache

Went back to Advanced>Rm Force encrypt (2 ticks) >Swipe Right

Advanced>close AV2.0 (2 ticks) >Swipe Right

Advanced>Install Root>Swipe

Reboot to Recovery

Then, once booted to LRTWRP, Reboot to System

No draw backs so far, no FCs, and no noticeable changes to the OS aside from the security update from Google (this one is December). You can update Magisk as normal, though it did get installed as "System-as-root", before you open Google Pay, Netflix, Pokemon Go, etc, make sure you hide Magisk and root first. Everything works, nothing is broken.

I keep my battery fully charged because of my work and I frequently don't have access to chargers when I'm working. I know it's bad for the battery.

I try to update from 10.4.5.0 (PGGEUXM) to V11.0.3.0 (PGGEUXM) by following your guidance but I end up rebooting to LR TWRP.

If I try to use the update in downloaded rom, twrp say that there is a file coruption so I download the full rom to make the flash work.

I have also debloat some apps maybe that's why it bootloop.

So if anyone know how to update without wiping evrything i would like to know?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deBricker:
You can't update via OTA when you've made changes to the system partition, i.e. debloating pre-installed apps. And I wouldn't recommend using the OTA update when you're jumping from MIUI 10 to MIUI 11. Best to start on a fresh installation to prevent FCs and bugs.

Clean update from a clean flash of begonia_global_images_V11.0.6.0.PGGMIXM_20200108.0000.00_9.0_global to miui_BEGONIAGlobal_V11.0.4.0.QGGMIXM_94d91b5c62_10.0 so now on MIUI11 A10 from MIUI11 A9 I tried flashing a couple versions of TWRP the one from this post (Mega Link) worked just fine. None of the other ones bootlooped me they just didn't boot to recovery and thereby got replaced with stock recovery everytime. I disabled DmVerity via fastboot with A10 vbmeta.img, flashed the file and it went right into TWRP after rebooting with volume up held down. Glitchy and weird but I de-crypeted the partitions with lockscreen passcode, installed root and removed AVB swipe reboot Magisk was installed when I rebooted to system and I am rooted. FYI it doesn't pass cts and won't please see the thread on this.

So

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

Pull cable fast hit power and volume + let go of power at Redmi Logo (first one) and you're in TWRP.

Hope this helps.

Ok to make it short and clear, after reading other posts I realize that most tab s3 users are not familiar with "samsung good lock".

Good lock is a bunch of modules to add useful options to samsung devices but unfortunately they're only available in some regions

you can use a free app called "fine lock" from play store to download and manage this modules:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yuh.yuh.finelock

just use the provided links in here to download and install the last apks and then run them from fine lock.

disclaimer: I've nothing to do with this app. If you find it useful, Thank the developer or pay for pro version.

the modules I use now are "Multistar" and "task changer" to bring back popup view action, drag and drop for split screen, etc...

feel free to check others yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nick1Man:
Great:good:

I only knew "One hand operation" form the Play store.

"Task changer" and "Multistar" are very much needed for Pie.

i'm looking for a permanent way to keep it detached and never be in the update list.

also have the same thing for an app on my Samsung Note 9 which i want to stay on an old version and never update but as the Note 9 is not rooted i see a problem there. its Samsung Health (S-health) and its linked to my watch and syncs online so i cant use a resigned version as that breaks the online link.

as my tablet is rooted i have full access so can edit or delete anything. ive tried renaming a few files hoping they would break the google play store link but its still there.

can i just delete a file to remove it from google play store? which file? where?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RealWelder:
It's not that hard, but you will need some tools. Basically you need to look up how to decompile and recompile apps. Then change the package name in the Android Manifest and then resign the app.

I use regular apktool.jar, but you could try something like apk multi tool. Then to resign the app, Venkat Kamesh has an excellent signing tool for free download.

Once the app name is changed and it is resigned it will no longer be connected to the play store. It also could be illegal, but I think you'll be okay as long as they're for personal use and you're not redistributing them.
