3.0.2-2 based coffec twrp with all backup

as far as I know, the coffec twrp is based on 3.0.0. which is an old twrp. I want to know, is there a twrp with auto miui image patching and all partition backup capability alongside f2fs support based on latest twrp 3.0.2-2??? if so, please provide a link. sorry for mh bad English
Only way is to use the Alka TWRP first, backup all partitions. Then flash F2FS TWRP for converting into F2FS filesystem.
Then return to Alka TWRP to restore your backup of all partitions.
You must have a PC(with all drivers installed) which is available to you whenever needed to flash the recoveries using fastboot command.

Read it here on XDA that Alka TWRP has some bug.. like errors in restoring firmware. true?

Yes, it gives some sort tarfork error in firmware partition as the firmware partition is read only.
You should uncheck the firmware partition while restoring.
Example: Assume that you have taken a backup of MIUI 8 Global stable (yes, all partition backup). After backup, you went to CM13 or any custom ROM and assume that you flashed the CM 13 radios/firmware zip. Now you want to go back to MIUI and you restored it. Now you will face issues in MIUI like no sound in calls where neither you nor the person on the other side will be able to hear any sound.
The above issues are caused due to firmware. MIUI's firmware and CM's firmware are not the same.
If you want to revert from CM or any custom ROM to MIUI, you must use MiFlash (EDL).

Thanks!! So a safe way to revert from CM to MIUI would be to:
- restore partitions, and assuming firmware gives error
- flash via EDL over this
Maybe i could directly flash through EDL..will that work? will the radios/modem get overwritten by the MIUI radios/modem?

Yes, the radios/modem will get over-written.
No need to restore partitions. All the partitions will get flashed by the MiFlash.
I almost backup only the Boot, Data, Cache and System partitions leaving others.
If you want your Internal SD card, select Flash all except data and storage option at the bottom.
Enjoy with your device!:good::good:
I am using MIUI 8.0.1.0 and maybe someday I will try CM13/14. About twrp, what is the recommended twrp for our phone ?

2 EFS partitions

When creating a NAndroid backup using TWRP on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 phone, I noticed that TWRP shows 2 EFS partitions. Does anybody know
the reason for the existence of 2 EFS partitions? I have MIUI 9.6.1.0, and my phone is rooted with Magisk 16.4.
