TWRP doesn't persists after reboot (kenzo) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

On my kenzo I have official TWRP 3.1.1-0. When I install another version (ie. 3.1.1-1 or 3.2.1-0) it does not persists after the second reboot.
ie: With 3.1.1-0 install 3.2.1-0 and reboot. Here I have the new version installed. But if I do a new reboot (the second reboot) it comes back to 3.1.1-0 version. Also of I install something like a ROM.
Anybody knows why?
Maybe is related or not: Also I am in trouble with every Oreo ROM: Sound in user apps (like WhatsApp, YouTube) does not sound. But in system apps (like telephone ringtones) works perfectly.

Data Encrypted - Pixel Experience Android 9

Hello Everybody,
I have so following problem with data encrypted in twrp:
I installed latest version of twrp
! Used MIUI 10 developer version and data was encrypted according Twrp (according to settings device is not encrypted.
To flash no new OS from Twrp I had to format all data.
After that I installed second latest (08.11) Pixel Experience and Magical latest version.
I rebooted system.
! No Twrp and magisk APK installed.
Manually installed Twrp and magisk APK
I can install adaway also (superuser is installed)
Problem:
System mentioned that there is a new version of Pixel experience (15.11) and I wanted to install it. But it didn't work -> Twrp stopped installation, because data is still encrypted.
To install latest version I formated everything again and did above steps. But again with same result... I can install everything (manually) and everything works without to install new versions of Pixel Experience or anything else from Twrp recovery.
I tried to encrypt my phone over settings, but after encryption the system freezes after putting in pin code at the start. In twrp recovery I have to put in the code too, but again encryption is still available...
I have no further idea. Could you help me? Don't want to loose all data Everytime an update appears
Magisk "force encryption" manually enabled. The other setting is not enabled.
Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

Twrp with miui 11

Hey, recently I've updated to miui 11 and I've unlocked the bootloader long ago but I couldn't install twrp on my phone, every time I push the up volume button and power it leads me to the mi recovery, and if I press down volume button it leads me to the fastboot with that communist rabbit.
I'm quite tired of trying over and over watching every tutorial of Hindi kids speaking as fast as a squirrel and I just want to know if someone did it with miui 11 working and explain me how to install that damned custom recovery
I think someone has to build the recovery, because I tried to flash the TWRP, but I can't install it.
TWRP that is compatible for Redmi 6A MIUI 11 does not exist yet.
Even the previous version of "MIUI v10.4.4.0" which now used "Android 9 or Pie" replacing ""Android 8.1" had to use an unofficial modified TWRP to get it working.
if i update via twrp with the v11.0.5recoverymode zip file what happen? it will brick?
well, i did it
the update package install normally without errors for me, but when i try to enter in twrp, it is erased, instead is the stock recovery lul
my steps:
>Previusly have Android 9 Pie MIUI 10 (i think was v10.4.4) with TWRP 3.3.1 MOD (For pie) and root with magisk (20.0)
> Donwload the recovery package (1.4GB in MIUI11 oficial you can donwload it)
> Go to TWRP in your phone
> Install the package
> Reboot
- I did not install the Magisk bacause i forgot that, but the system runs normally
- I dont know what happen if you root the phone after zip installation (maybe brick)
- You will erase your TWRP, basically you will have a stock phone
- Now there isnt a TWRP official or mods for MIUI V11.0.5

So right now your phone is on MIUI 11 but not rooted correct?
Just now. I just installed TWRP and have root on my phone. All seems to be working fine.

Updated Guide for Project Treble/GSI installing with KVT -- Install (almost) any ROM

ABOUT VERSIONS OF kvt:
2.x is if you're coming from stock Oreo or Pie
3.x seems to be only for stock Pie (otherwise networks don't work) - Oreo modem still has to be flashed though
There is a guide for GSI, but it is outdated, no longer maintained and all links are dead. That's why I'm creating this up to date guide.
If you do not know, what is Project Treble and GSIs, google it first. Proceed only if you know what are you doing. This guide is only for those, who know what is bootloader, fastboot, recovery and TWRP. If you don't, learn that first. There are many guides (for example guides for rooting and Magisk) UNLOCKED BOTLOADER REQUIRED
Guide
1) Download needed files:
- treble recovery: https://mega.nz/#F!b8RgGQCa!48TRsDcJFpaAGNOcc9Fb-A?GxR2TCAA
(this is my mirror, as original links are dead, don't know who is the original developer)
- kvt (find lastest version here) https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=303096&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC (developer deivesj)
(this allows GSI to work on Moto Z2 Play with some of it's stock features like fingerprint gestures, device gestures, pass safety-net and more)
- if you want to use Android 9.0 Pie based ROMs and older, you might want to use V7 kvt instead:
https://mega.nz/#!7w5V1KpQ!uoCMqynn5D83trvZ6uXY30S8b9rLiBlXf1JTeMYQ0rc
- if you are coming from stock Android 9.0 Pie ROM, you will need modem from Android 8.0 Oreo
https://mega.nz/file/mxhxXCaI#nJpdQ3nPnc6urkYP8vLrVb_vc_7EsnXK7MXw3U1xohw
- you may need stock recovery https://mega.nz/#!XphFEIxK!yNdHJSakfO90K1ua92SODoqd85nvwRi7h65EA8RkOuI
-GSI of your choice (links below)
transfer kvt to your phone to external microSD, keep the rest in your PC
1) go to fastboot mode (power+volume up simulaneously)
2) flash treble recovery (using fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery 'filename.img')
3) boot to recovery and wipe system, data, cache
Note: after boot to recovery, touchscreen doesn't work. Turn screen off and on to make it work!
4) in recovery, flash kvt zip. It will guide you through
5) reboot back to bootloader
6) flash chosen GSI as system image (fastboot flash system 'filename.img')
7) if you are coming from stock Pie, flash Oreo modem (fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin)
reboot
Note: If you are coming from stock ROM, decryption may fail. The easiest way is to temporarily flash stock recovery. After decryption fails, it will prompt you to reboot and format data. TWRP can't do it, but stock recovery can. After you are booted, you can flash TWRP again.
Where to get GSIs:
the biggest list is here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
For Z2 Play, always download arm64 version and Aonly
There is a folder with ported stock ROMS (MIUI, Samsung, Moto...) on mirrors.lollinet but they do not work on Z2 Play. I also tried various stock ROM ports from other sources and they did not work. Custom ROMs fork fine.
Magisk:
Standard Magisk versions may not work. If you get bootloop, after installing Magisk, flash uninstaller. Then you can try phusson's version:

I am currently using Pixel Experience Plus (Android 10) GSI, I installed it with latest KVT 2.6 and most stuff works out of the box. If you come from Stock Pie you need to flash the modem file from Stock Oreo to get proper audio during calls, as the modem from Android 9 gets bugged on Custom ROMs breaking the audio during calls. http://www.mediafire.com/file/q8nbpybxc8mjyew/NON-HLOS-Z2P-STOCK-8-OREO.7z/file
Confirmation
Mate can u confirm whether this kvt fix the screen flickering issue when there are more than 3 notifications in the status bar and does it have fingerprint gestures enabled???

I don't use fingerprint gestures so I can't tell you about that. Also I had experiencing some crashes and reboots with this GSI lately, so I will try with another one once I can access internet to download anothet GSI.
CONFIRMED
i confirm it by flashing the flickering issue is gone and the gestures works as well this is by far the most stable KVT released kudos to developers
There are new versions of kvt available. Check the updated first post for link to deivesj's last files.
I did not experience any flickering or other graphical glitches with the new (2.X) versions of kvt (unlike the old v8 one).
Fingerprint gestures work, but not in all gsis

Thanks, I will update the guide
Could someone please give me a mirror of kvt v2.6? androidfilehost is terribly slow...
Hello,
Seem to have lost my network after flashing the pixel experience gsi from stock. imei missing as well. Any help?
It may be problem with modem.
What was your stock ROM? 8.0 or 9.0?
What version of kvt did you use? 2.x or 3.x?
How install?
how is the modem installed?
It's explained in the guide, step 7.
Wrongly flashed modem may cause WiFi, Bluetooth and SIM not to work
Kvt link is down. But you can use LineageOS with treble support now

TWRP backup hangs, reboot system hangs

Hi,
After a bit of fight I've managed to recovery my vf-895n (vodafone smart prime 6) and reflash stock rom. I've installed twrp and now magisk. When I try to backup with twrp it hangs. When I try in twrp to do reboot-> system it hangs. What could be causing this?
I also think that the phone doesn't boot so fast, like it is waiting to go into developer mode or something, then decides to continue to boot (and show spash).
Thanks
Wondering why you installed TWRP? Booting into TWRP always is enought, IMO, because it doesn't tamper Android system.
Example
Code:
fastboot boot <TWRP.IMG>
Interesting I didn't know you could do that. But would be the same effect as installing TWRP.
To answer your question I install TWRP to install magisk and to take a full back up. I've now had to uninstall magisk because my banking app doesn't like it (it used to work so I assume banking app has been updated). But the reason I had magisk was to run link2sd for more space. I've currently got over 1G more than I had before the crash with the same stuff installed (more or less). Not sure why that is. Firmware is different now as I had to reflash with a stock I downloaded. I probably don't need TWRP installed now as I'm running unrooted.

Honor 7 custom ROM install issues

Hi all,
I experience some issues installing a custom ROM to my Huawei Honor 7 PLK-L01 phone. Can anyone help me or pointing me in the right direction please?
I'm trying to install a custom ROM, but from the ones I tried to install (DigiROM, H7T, Lineage 13, Lineage 13 v2, Lineage 14, Pure, YodaROM), I only managed to get Lineage 13 and Lineage 13 v2 working on my phone. I was able to install all other ROM's, but after installation and rebooting, the phone got stuck on the "Honor" start-up screen and not continue to boot the ROM afterwards.
(By the way, does someone have the MoDaCo Custom ROM (by paulobrien) available? I want this ROM the most, but the download site has been taken offline )
I'm using TWRP v3.2.1-0, but also tried installations with TWRP v3.1.1-0-plank.
With all installations, I wiped dalvik/cache/data/system and installed the ROM by installing the copied .zip file from my SD card, via TWRP.
(Installation via ADB Sideload is not working. Device is not recognized in ADB, even after installing USB drivers. Fortunately, installing via TWRP works for me.)
My phone is unlocked and root is working fine. The phone version was initially C432B121 (Don't know if this changes with each ROM installation?)
Although LOS13 is able to be installed on my phone, with this ROM, I'm not able to charge my phone... When I try to select the USB configuration mode (via "Select USB configuration" via Developer Options), the settings menu crashes after selecting one, with error message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
When setting up a lock screen security (eg. PIN code to unlock phone), the same error occurs.
Furthermore, the camera is not working, but this would be a known issue for this ROM. Hence, on my phone, the camera is also not working with suggested apps as Footej, Camu, or Cameringo, which should deal with this issue.
Does anyone recognize this? Do I have a sort of admin rights issue? Or do I need to install a matching firmware version for each ROM? Or perhaps another TWRP version?
Right now I have installed Lineage OS 13 Reloaded v2.0 (Android 6.0.1) (by Spirtix & Speedo.thc)
Problem solved! Updating the OTA firmware was my solution (C432B121 to B130, then to B180, then B370).
Thanks to DigiGoon, these files can be downloaded here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=102830
hello @broek84 - sorry for an unrelated question:
how did you unlock the bootloader of your Honor 7?
thx
