Did some learning, some digging, and found what is so broken on the current TWRP builds that are out there.
We're missing one line in the fstab.qcom
Code:
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem /oem ext4 ro wait
So I did the simple fix. Took TWRP 3.2.1-R20 (which supports backing up OEM) and added that line to fstab.qcom.
You can now backup & restore the OEM partition using TWRP and it isn't broken for OTAs.
EDIT: backup & Restore might still be broken, but it does not damage the OEM just booting TWRP. Looking into how to backup via image instead of backup via TWRP GUI.
Edit2: I've fixed the OEM backup so it now backs up as an image like /system does. This takes up 768MB of space compared to the previous 141MB, but for working OTAs it's worth it. Enable compression and the extra space isn't wasted. I've uploaded the fix as well and updated the link at the bottom of the post.
To add this fix to TWRP for devs, change the line in \etc\recovery.fstab from
Code:
/oem ext4 /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem flags=backup=1;display="OEM"
to
Code:
/oem emmc /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/oem flags=backup=1;display="OEM"
Adding that as an additional line will allow us to pick between a bitwise perfect OEM backup or just a basic "copied files" backup.
In the meantime, you can back up OEM using DD.
You can install Magisk in TWRP without breaking OEM.
I've tested and confirmed this on my XT1806 but it should work with all of them.
I've linked to the file at the bottom of this post. It's able to be directly flashed over your existing TWRP.
To fix your OEM partition for future updates:
Identify what software you're running. If you are running the first Oreo OTA build, just download the full firmware file and fastboot flash the OEM partition again. Then OTA should take
If you are running October patch, you will need to fastboot flash the first Oreo OTA OEM file and then ADB Sideload the October OTA on top of it. Then you're up to date. The October OTA can update just the OEM partition without needing to patch the rest.
If you are running Nougat, same applies, Just fastboot flash whatever OEM you are currently on and then OTAs should work.
To all TWRP devs, please add the OEM RO line to your fstab.qcom so we don't run into this in the future. it's a simple fix.
Edit3: I've added the ability to backup the Persist file as well since that's not included in standard R20. link updated as well.

thx
Thanx. Flashing via adb succeeded, installed Magisk 19.1 at once, System booted normally. Fine
But was is meant by "In the meantime, you can back up OEM using DD."? May i not take a TRWP backup? Using stock oreo 8.1.0, and plan to flash a custom rom, maybe pie...
Thanx in advance!

Yup! I believe the file is called twrp-sanders-r20-oemsafe (might also mention persist)
I just did a rebbot in fastboot mode, from there to recovery, TWRP starts. Excellent. But internal storage (Data) is 0MB? Did i forget something?

Seems to be encryption problem. https://forum.xda-developers.com/doogee-mix/how-to/fixed-how-to-remove-data-encryption-twrp-t3757595
Can't fix the problem. First everything's fine, twrp's backup shows some Mb in /data (caused by magisk or su). So decryption is working at that point. Then, after booting into system and doing some settings, root is still there (rootchecker), but back to twrp there will be /data again with 0MB.
Anyone a hint? Main purpose of twrp for me is taking backups (before trying custom roms)
Running stock oreo 8.1.0 Europe with 01.02.19 sec patches

does this, or any similar twrp increase the chances of getting volte (which works on my xt1806 in stock oreo when i use the lenovo recovery app) up and running on say RR pie builds (which i was using unpatched twrp 3.2.1-r16 to install RR and gapps, then booting, updating OTA, then going back to install the TWRP 3.3 from this forum to flash Magisk)?

Probably no. Search for Treble TWRP Moto G5s Plus on google. You need a trebelized TWRP in order to flash magisk.
link doesn't exist.
Please update the link to the file. Gdrive page results in URL not found.
I'm confused about the current level of support of TWRP for Moto G5s+ "sanders" - Latest TWRP (3.4.0.0) runs using fastboot boot but can't be installed. Older versions are all hosted on unofficial sites and have broken links or seem untrustworthy. Does anyone has a link to a legit TWRP for sanders which is recent, works, and is hosted on a trustworthy site?

I've had troubles with recent versions of TWRP too, mostly with encryption . That's why I stuck with 3.2.1.r22; it's the only one I've had no trouble with so far. It doesn't support OTA update, but I've had no problem with manual updates. FYI I'm using Arrows 11.

Hello,
I've unlocked my bootloader and subsequently had installed TWRP (months ago).
Not long after, I decided to go back to stock for a while, and went back to CM a month ago.
However, I realized back then that I was loading into stock recovery even after taking the steps to install TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190)
During these steps, there were no errors (fastboot/adb logs show all things were done successfully).
However, some funky quirk (that I don't remember) got me loaded with TWRP once, which gave me the window to install CM (I remember it involving having to be connected to the PC).
Now I'm trying to install a new CM build, but I can't get it loading TWRP.
I've downloaded the TWRP Manager App, which tells me that I have TWRP 3.0.0.0, but when I reboot to recovery, I am given the stock EMUI recovery.
Does anyone know what is happening in this case? Has anyone experienced a similar issue?
Thank you!

frp is labeled as "UNLOCK" as oppsed to bootloader labeled as "UNLOCKED".
If it's just about removing my google account, will this be resolved the next time I do a factory reset?
Nevertheless, thank you so much for the command fastboot boot twrp.img, I realized that that was what I had used the last time.
I'm currently able to boot into TWRP this way. Awesome!

It depend on the device
Return to Un-modded Stock:
Bootloader unlocked and TWRP and Root included
The file is 4gb compressed to 2gb. Depending on your connection it will probably take 20 to 45 minutes to download.
Be Advised
Do your research before flashing anything, I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device, due to impatience and missed steps. However, rest assured this recovery is solid and will absolutely return your X720 or X727 to stock 5.8.21s (with the bootloader already unlocked, TWRP installed and rooted)
I was asked by several people if I would be willing to share a link to my Stock X727 recovery, I created this thread to provide the 5.8.21s recovery for anyone who is experiencing dire issues or is simply wanting to restore the last official x727 recovery, as a daily driver or as a means to troubleshoot their issues by returning to the fully stock rom, stock partitions and ready to start over.
Attached is my full stock TWRP Recovery for my Le Eco Pro 3, version: 5.8.21s (X727)
It is a clean TWRP backup recovery that I did not mod in any way other than unlocking the bootloader.
The link is to my Google Drive account. https://drive.google.com/open?id=19dtLHmE5bsx5mdtEXOns4Z5drpeY79Em
The file is compressed
Ensure that you perform a full wipe before applying this recovery, and that you know what you are doing before attempting to install.
Please note that any changes that you make to your device is done at your own risk.
Please use caution and make sure that you have TWRP recovery installed.
Be in the habit of booting back to recovery before booting to system....This is a good practice for ensuring TWRP stays installed
You must unpack the downloaded 7zip file, before it will be useable.
As long as you can boot into TWRP and have root access you will have the full permissions needed to install anything , and reverse any actions that do not workout as planned.
Personally, I make a backup of my existing installation prior to making any changes. I recommend that you do the same. If you buy an OTG adapter and a USB 3.0 drive it takes 5 minutes.

I don't have time at the moment to provide lengthy instructions. With respect, I am providing a working, clean unlocked recovery file and pointing the way to instructions already that exist all throughout the LeEco forums.
But here's a quick answer
First use TWRP to reset your phone with a clean wipe, like you would for any ROM. Set developer options to the standard settings.
Next, your storage is encrypted. So it needs to be formatted. Use TWRP format the storage only. Then reboot to recovery.
****Important****
Don't ever format the storage without ensuring that you have a TWRP recovery. Always check the boxes to check if TWRP is installed before swiping. If you don't have a recovery you have a soft brick.
For you information, TWRP recovery is installed on it's on it very own partition. Formatting the storage does not affect the TWRP partition. Nonetheless, if you see the check box option, make sure they are checked.
I would suggest that you install the all in one tool : https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....pment/tool-tool-one-mauronofrio-t3580611/amp/
This tool helps a lot and makes this stuff easier if are new to flashing custom Roms.. The all in one tool will update the Google driver and ADB installation on your computer.
After you format your drive you will have to flash the recovery from the PC. The links provided show all of the steps, or you can use the all for one tool. When your storage is encrypted you have no choice but to format.
If you use the all in one tool , see their page for instructions.
Read the instructions, then read them again. when learning something new it's a good idea to take notes.
Do not deviate from those steps or you could brick your phone.
There have been many people that have messaged me by PM who successfully returned to stock using my recovery, so it will work as long as you are careful and follow the instructions verbatim and you will be fine. Plus, It's a great idea to create your own working recovery before you begin.
Reminder, you are restoring to stock under you own discretion, I am not responsible if you miss a key step, have a power outage, use faulty cables or brick your device.
One final suggestion, when you install the recovery make sure your phone is fully charged. Unplug all unneeded external peripherals from your desktop computer.
Temporarily, disable antivirus, insert USB cable into the back of your desktop PC. Those outlets provide more power.
Please look past any typos, I typed this on little keys.
One last suggestion

No it will not keep twrp. follow the instructions in the link I provided above, there was no reason to duplicate the instructions on my post.
The difference is that my backup will restore your phone to Eui 5.8.21s with bootloader unlocked. You will need to reflash Twrp and root the phone with Magisk if you want to keep Twrp recovery ( that is what I would do) You will not be able to get OTA updates. But that doesn't matter because there probably not be any more OTA updates for the x727
Thank you, sir! This is great work. I was able to restore back to stock.
On the strange side of thing, my TWRP was saved. Previously, I was running AICP, but having multiple sound issues with it.
Here are the steps I followed to restore:
1) Move the file to OTG flash drive
2) Restore through TWRP via Restore
For my 727, it just reboot on logo, and doesn't go past it.

For me, I had the quickest experience by flashing Magisk afterwards. The stock Rom , Rooted, and with Xposed is actually pretty sweet.

It should not take more than 10 minutes, and will usually startup in 5. I just now restored one of my X727's with this recovery, using the OTG method that the last person used and viola in worked so there's no doubt. I have always used ADB until now.
However, unlike the other poster, I did lose Twrp and had to reinstall it.
Always, Always Ensure Twrp is permanently installed
Make sure that you are on the latest version of Twrp : https://twrp.me/leeco/leecolepro3.html
Run Magisk, install Rom, Install Magisk again
Personally, I use the latest version of Magisk : https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
You want a fully clean install before you flash.
Instructions are redundant of XDA: if you want something other than what you have read already: Click on my account history to find detailed instructions, ( I type too much, too often) Under most thanked, you can quickly find detailed instructions for installing , Roms, Rooting, Installing Twrp, How to wipe to avoid any issues.
Finally, if for some reason it still doesn't work, the file may have been corrupted.
Worst Case scenario : there are other recoveries available on XDA. Beware of the edited versions, they do not work as well as an unadulterated recovery.

It should not take more than 10 minutes, and will usually startup in 5. I just now restored one of my X727's with this recovery, using the OTG method that the last person used and viola in worked so there's no doubt. I have always used ADB until now.
However, unlike the other poster, I did lose Twrp and had to reinstall it.

It actually worked for second time without any issues. Just can't get the root, but will follow your instructions.

This recovery is stock EUI 5.8.21s. The exception is that the bootloader is unlocked, and it has TWRP Recovery instead of EUI Recovery. I do not remember which version of Magisk I Installed. I would advise that you flash the newest version of Magisk and you will not have any safety net issues.
If you are wanting a complete return to stock, you should instead reflash the stock Full Rom, which will reinstall EUI recovery and lockdown the bootloader.
Hey guys I wanna know about the Pie update I have mi Mi 8 Lite and as soon as i power up and conect to a wifi and update to 10.2.2.0 ODTMIXM was available so i updated and no problem i unlocked the bootloader (15 days wait time, sad) and flash twrp no root because is magisk and i can't hide root (even with magisk default hide root) for a bank app so is not rooted but since five days I was notified about and update to Pie miui 10.2.2.0PDTMIXM stable (persistent notification) but here are some questions:
* the twrp will cause a problem if I download this update and the updater applies or I have to remove twrp (I'll make a twrp backup just in case I don't have the original img file)
* I've read there no version of twrp for Pie and the version for 8.1 is not ideal. (correct me if i'm wrong)
* I might not need root, no problem the miui have some tweaks and I'm getting used to miui. (I had a Moto X Play with root and xposed and some modules)
* Is the first stable version, should I wait for a next Pie version with bugs solved.?
* I'm knew to miui less than a month with my Mi 8 Lite

Yes. Update, boot in fastboot, connect to your PC, flash TWRP and youre good to go. Mind you that version 1003 is older that the one you need. Due to bad naming scheme, the latest you want is 0212. (12 February 2019).

You might want to go with TWRP 0121 (also Pie compatible) instead, as someone reported in another thread having problems doing a restore with 0212 and nobody has yet verified if 0212 can actually do a successful restore. We are still a fairly small group here.
EDIT: Also, the stock Pie release is good. I am currently on Pixel Experience but may switch back to stock rooted at some point. Until Xiaomi releases the Pie kernel sources, no custom ROM is going to be perfect.

Has anyone reported a successful restore with *any* version of TWRP on the Mi8 Lite? I have only seen the unsuccessful one you mentioned, and another one who couldn't restore with either 0121 or 0212. I have not tried it myself, and believe that most people are using TWRP only to flash magisk or custom roms so far.

The default settings in TWRP is to automatically restart the phone after an ota. As the ota overwrites the recovery with the stock version, we would normally need to reflash TWRP.
However the wzsx TWRP allows you to disable this automatic reboot in its settings. This should mean that we can reflash TWRP (and magisk if used) immediately after flashing the ota while still within TWRP, before restarting to the new system, thus avoiding the need for fastboot/PC.
This is just my theory - I haven't tried it myself as I haven't decided to do the pie ota yet.

It is disturbing nobody has yet tested a TWRP restore. I would try it myself, but right now I cannot afford any long term downtime, as my mom is having health issues and I cannot take the chance of missing a call in case of emergency. .
Regarding flashing TWRP after update.... I certainly agree with your theory...and this could be done in either of two ways:
Method One, backup the Recovery only within TWRP. You MUST do this before taking the update!!! This lets you simply restore your existing recovery after the update. Not tested, but should work just fine assuming TWRP can indeed successfully restore (unknown).
Method Two, my personal favorite, which is what I did, was build an updated flashable .zip file of TWRP from the 1003 zip file (the only version I could find as a flashable .zip.) Just zip edit the BlaBlaBla_1003.zip file, replacing the 1003.img with the newer version 0121.img or 0212.img (after adding new .img file, delete old 1003.img file from the zip). You must also edit the /META-INF/com/google/android/update.binary (not really a binary, but actually text) to reflect the new .img filename within the zip. Update/Save zip file with new changes. Rename zip to new version name then check it to make sure your changes remained intact. Copy to phone storage. It will flash fine. Already tested. I can provide the 0121 zip file if needed, or create a 0212 flashable TWRP version as well if somebody wants it.
i havent tried cause im still waiting on bootloader to be unlocked when i check earlier i had 124 hrs

Why wouldn't you just flash the IMG file to the recovery partition under TWRP?
Not many people will shutdown their phones to test the restore guys. It's difficult, but we have to wait for someone to try this with the latest version of twrp. Nothing dusturbing here in my opinion. We will thank whoever tries this first that's for sure.

Interesting. I did not know you can flash img files directly with TWRP. Haha. Color me stupid!! How does TWRP know which partition to write the .img to? Does it give you a choice?
Yes it does. Choose recovery.

I haven't noticed the restore of twpr backups failed, I only did the backup.
Can you share the flash file or the img of 0212 or 0121?
So to be clear.
* Make twrp backup
* donwload the update
* let it update and hope no lost of data
* wait to boot and enter fastboot and flash img 0212 or 0121
* flash magisk and try to test my bank apps that detect root, i couldn't hide root with magisk for these apps. (i don't need magisk so much)
I hope no mess with my phone.

Yes is bad to wait so much time and there's nothing you can do I read about the version of the unlocker but with no luck. So I finally have unlocked bootloader.
Actually v0212 is restoring, I restored data from Arrow to Havoc and no problem with that.
Just all the recoveries and roms are acting weird, I´m not sure if it´s only my device; any AOSP rom is showing bootanimation at first reboot, recovery not responding touch but then press pwr button and after that screen works normally, at time to bootup for first time screen appears totally black then press pwr to screen off and pwr to wake up and now screen is working again, luckily at second reboot all this is normalize.

If you didn´t read before a member linked to you In the post #6 both TWRP versions.
About your steps:
- No need to backup previous TWRP, just flash the new image and reboot to recovery again.
- If you already have Magisk no need to flash it again so you won´t lose root status nor any data/settings of the rom.
If you want to unroot the 0212 has this option in advanced menu.

You should probably update your TWRP first and foremost, otherwise no access to data after you flash the update.. You will also need the Magisk Manager as an apk somewhere on your microSD card. I edited your to-do list:
* Download Magisk Manager and store on your microSD card.
* Flash new TWRP (0212 or 0121).
* Make a full twrp backup and do a recovery only backup as well
* download the update
* let it update and hope no lost of data
* Reflash img or TWRP Recovery backup 0212 or 0121
* Reboot recovery, check that you can decrypt data
* flash magisk and try to test my bank apps that detect root, i couldn't hide root with magisk for these apps. (i don't need magisk so much)
* After first boot, manually install your saved Magisk Manager app from microSD card. Run it. Check if all is good.
Do you use Titanium Backup? If so, make a full TB before doing any of this.

Good to know that it is working for you. I will try a restore over the weekend myself, as I plan on getting rid of PE ROM. Not very happy with it, and the dev is not responding to anyone at all. I will probably just go back to stock PIE with alternate launcher.
Regarding your odd problems, I am not having any of your mentioned issues at all. My reboot times are very speedy and recovery touch has always worked from the start. I have only flashed one 3rd party ROM so far. Pixel Experience. It is actually a pretty good ROM, but the camera(s) are a bit flaky. I need my camera to work 100%. I did just install the MiX Cam, which so far is working really well. I have more testing to do before I make a decision. It seems camera apps work great for a few days, then suddenly start crashing. Ugh!

I never saw before this kind of weird behaviour btw is working generally speaking fine.
I´m not a fan of camera but the stock is so far better, I noticed that HavocOs rom has the feature to enable camera2 api and EIS, maybe you might try it. Regarding to use a custom launcher on stock miui rom there´s Poco launcher that keeps the same system icons than theme chosen and is very fast.
Unofficial TWRP Recovery for Moto G7 Power
(XT1955-5/ocean/supra)
I didn't want to wait any longer for an official build of TWRP for the Moto G7 Power (ocean) so I ported it over myself following these directions . So far it appears to work with little to no issue with the exception of decryption of userdata on later rom buids...
I was even able to install fastboot(ed) image to ramdisk & flash Magisk-19.3 via TWRP. Hopefully this can hold some of you off until an official build comes out.
If you guys wish to try it out I have uploaded it to my Android file host here.
Latest attempt HERE
Installation Instructions:
1. You will need to boot image via fastboot initially
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean-20190904-0715.img
2. Once TWRP boots push Magisk v19.3 to /tmp/ & flash if not installed or you will bootloop
a.
Code:
adb push Magisk-v19.3.zip /tmp/
b.
Code:
adb shell
c.
Code:
twrp install /tmp/Magisk-v19.3.zip
3. Push twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean-20190904-0715.img to /tmp/
Code:
adb push twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean-20190904-0715.img /tmp/
4. Install recovery to ramdisk via fastboot(ed) TWRP
Code:
Tap Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk > Navigate to /tmp/twrp-3.3.1-0-ocean-20190904-0715.img
5. If Magisk is installed prior you may bootloop back to recovery
Code:
Advanced > Fix Recovery Bootloop & Reinstall Magisk
NOTE:
When providing feedback please include the build date of port, carrier, security patch, and rom build number of your G7 Power. The last two items can be found in Settings > System > About phone > tap Android version .

The touch screen works for me when I fastboot it & it works when installed to ramdisk.
I think it worked for me when I used the format data option that requires typing yes. What GSI's are you using? I attempted to install one last night no data/wifi.
@Alexhdavila @Scholeggo
I will need more info. Does touchscreen work when booting via fastboot? Do you have a non US variant? What is output of command lsmod through adb shell in Android?
I can most likely make the screen work for you if you provide that info.
Try the latest one with date appended... Touchscreen should work.

Edit: ^ Touch screen works on initial boot and after for my device. Added driver /vendor/lib/modules/aw8624.ko to /sbin/load_drivers.sh. Though I'm not sure if that is a touch related device and a google of aw8624.ko returns nadda.

Ok, I did send logs that should indicate that decrypting does not work.. I am using Phhusson's AOSP GSI for this test. My G7 Power is 1955-5 on Metro
If you're on a gsi, go into settings and look into lock screen/security and head down to encryption and credentials, and you will see my point.
This screenshot is in fact taken from my decrypted Moto E5 plus

Did you update the device to the latest release? I forget where I read but after a certain security update TWRP is no longer able to decrypt user data on some devices. I am still on the OG software that came with device (security patch March 1, 2019), no updates. When I installed magisk on this device and disabled force ecrypt/dm-verity it would no longer boot either. I have yet to try disabling force-encrypt while leaving dm-verity. For me TWRP decrypts my data perfectly when installed to ramdisk but not fastbooting. If you flash a GSI rom in my experience you will have to wipe the data and phone will pretty much force this on you with stock recovery.
Also you didn't answer my question about touch screen. In your post you said to fastboot the test-v1.img then flash mine to ramdisk. Did the touchscreen on my build not work for you when fastbooting?
Edit: Actually I didn't ask lol.

huh.. before flashing, i was last on the August build.. and yes, i flashed it to ramdisk and did not have an effect with decrypting the device.
no, touch screen does not work when fastbooting your build.

@Scholeggo
You tried 20190902-1422? Anything after Jun/July I am
pretty sure can not be decrypted via TWRP currently... that is normal operation. I have this same problem on my Pixel with an official TWRP. Right now my main concern is getting touch working for everyone. If you tried 20190902-1422 and touch doesn't work on fastboot I have some ideas to make it work all around. Do you have Hangouts or something so we can work faster to bring fully functional TWRP together? Since you have a device with the problem. Development via threads is slow.

You tried 20190902-1422? Anything after Jun/July I am
pretty sure can not be decrypted via TWRP currently... that is normal operation. I have this same problem on my Pixel with an official TWRP.

ok, maybe not decrypt like that, but at least have TWRP not mess up internal storage when wiping system?
On the test-v1 I sent, it does that when wiping system alone, rebooted or not. With yours, it does that only when rebooting recovery; as long as you flash another system right after wiping, internal storage seems to be unaffected with your build.
If not decrypting the storage, it shouldn't mess up internal storage at all when wiping system
I think it's a mechanism of the device. When I flash any GSI on top of any userdata that was created by stock rom it messes up that data, most likely intentionally. That happens with 'fastboot flash system system.img' as well. Can you help me with the touch issues?
Try Me!
LATEST ATTMEPT !
Edit:
My last attempt before I say I don't know what I am doing. I've attempted to include all the kernel modules this recovery should need inside the image. There should be no need for it to load modules from /vendor/lib/modules. Hopefully this fixes the touch screen for most users when fastbooting and installing to ramdisk.
your newest build works touch functions properly
Thank you for the confirmation @OGandroid. Hopefully I can put touch to rest now and find other issues.

In my experience touch works fine booting into TWRP but once installed it's gone
I've tried flashing multiple times. Am I doing something wrong here?
Metro by T-Mobile Variant
Hey man thank you so much for your work! Just wanna triple verify tho! This will work on the metro variant? Also is it possible do you know to flash rims from the other g7 series phones?

Sick man this is awesome I've been waiting for this! Now for some rims and it'll be smooth sailing!
If you've flashed a non-stock recovery like TWRP*, you can not use the OTA update feature. You need to flash the full ROM via TWRP.
* TWRP is now officially supported, make sure you flash that version if you're using an older, unofficial TWRP.
1. Obtain the ROM you want to install. Make sure the download is from miui.com if you want stock
Official site -> My phone is the EEA version, so I use the 'Mi 9T EEA' tab. The website does not update links immediately after a ROM update is released, so you may have to do a bit of digging if you want a very recent update.
You can also check ROM links on third party sites like ezbox.idv.tw, again, make sure the actual download links are from miui.com and not somewhere else.
Latest EEA ROM(Android 10) as of 2020-10-24 -
V12.0.3.0.QFJEUXM
Nightly official LineageOS builds
2. Get into TWRP
Either run 'adb reboot recovery'
Or power phone off and boot into TWRP by holding PWR+VOL_UP during boot
3. Upload the ROM to the phone
Code:
adb push ~/Downloads/[B]miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V12.0.3.0.QFJEUXM_12b99693bc_10.0.zip[/B] /sdcard/
4. Flash the ROM via TWRP
5. Flash Magisk if you use it, because flashing the ROM deletes it.
6. Remove the update file:
Code:
adb shell rm /sdcard/[B]miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V12.0.3.0.QFJEUXM_12b99693bc_10.0.zip[/B]
That's it! Reboot your phone into your new ROM!
Also check out my debloat list and my detailed phone settings.
Additional note - formatting /system will brick your phone and you'll have to recover using a fastboot ROM.

If you've flashed a non-stock recovery like TWRP, you can not use the OTA update feature. You need to flash the full ROM via TWRP.
So how to get around this when the updater is telling you there is an incremental update?
Simple, we tell the updater to download the full image instead, move the update from the original folder so MIUI won't attempt to upgrade from it on next reboot, boot into TWRP and flash the image there.
1. Settings -> About Phone -> System update -> three dots -> Download latest package
2. Get filename of the update:
3. You now have the filename of the update. I got miui_DAVINCIEEAGlobal_V10.3.15.0.PFJEUXM_b6738621e2_9.0.zip and will be using this name throughout the rest of this how-to, replace the examples accordingly based on what name you got.
4. (optional) Backup the latest ROM file to your PC:
5. Prevent MIUI from seeing the update file and trying to update from it on accident by moving the file a folder higher:
6. Power phone off
7. Boot into TWRP by holding PWR+VOL_UP during boot
8. Flash the ROM via TWRP
9. Flash Magisk if you use it, flashing the ROM deletes it.
10. Boot back into Android and remove the update file:
That's it!
You can also download the full ROM directly through miui.com, but keep in mind the website does not instantly update the link there after a ROM update is released.
https://en.miui.com/download-361.html#619 -> My phone is the EEA version, so I use the 'Mi 9T EEA' tab.
Page best viewed in Firefox, clicking on the lock icon -> Arrow icon in the security tab -> Disable protection, since Xiaomi can't even set their website up properly.
In my case the ROM download through phone was corrupted and I had to edit the site URL from the filename I got to get a proper update file:

Hey @C0rn3j
I am on stock 10.3.12.0 PFJEUXM and TWRP 4PDA 3.3.1.-2 fix and Magisk.
My questions:
1. Is it worth the upgrade to MIUI 11 as it is still Android 9
2. If I flash it through TWRP, did you loose any dual app settings? (as I lost dual apps while backing up the phone with TWRP and Titanium backup)
3. as you said I have to flash the Magisk again, did you choose the latest or the same as was installed on the phone before the upgrade?
Thanks in advance for reply

1. Security updates.
2. I don't use dual apps so I wouldn't know. AFAIK people had issues with using the backup/restore functionality of TWRP on that version. You should probably update it as I believe latest is -4
3. Latest.

I have Nova Launcher, do you use default or as well external one?
Do you think Nova will stay untouched with this upgrade?

Nothing will happen to it
If the Magisk have to be flashed again, does it mean all the hide settings which were there before has to be set again or stay there from the old version? I have few apps in Magisk hide root, so just wondering how this will be affected with rom update
A second question:
I am on 10.3.12.0 not upgraded yet to 10.3.15.0.
Can I upgrade straight to V11.0.2.0 or first to 10.3.15.0 and then to V11?

While flashing did you untick Recovery in the TWRP as I believe the whole 2,2GB ZIP has recovery image and could be flashed and overwrite the TWRP?
Your guide not working, twrp failed to install the update "file corrupted".
I've downloaded the OTA package from "http://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700361" and twrp very happy to install this file, my Mi_9T at the latest update 11.
Unfortunately the archive downloaded through the Updater cannot be flashed as is through TWRP (message: file corrupted)
