Mi A3 Android 10 TWRP - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Hi. Anyone have problem installing TWRP here after upgrading to Android 10 V11.0.14.0.QFQMIXM_10.0? Mine always reverts to fastboot mode after flashing TWRP and I have to flash the rom again (as rebooting after that also enters into fastboot).

It is not weird at all. Only custom ROMs come without built in recovery and so they won't overwrite TWRP. Stock ROMs always come with built-in recovery which will overwrite TWRP.
The solution is to flash TWRP again after flashing the ROM and before booting to system. For good measure, after flashing TWRP, flash Magisk and your TWRP will remain.

Mi A3 Android 10 v11.0.15 unable to flash twrp and magisk

Hi I recently updated my Mi A3 to May Android 10 update i.e. v11.0.15 . Before this it was rooted with TWRP and Magisk as now both of these softwares are gone due to update. Now i want to flash TWRP first but unable to install it as I changed the active slot to A (current B) as per old method but nothing happened and phone stucked at Fastboot screen. This thing really concerns me as if I flash twrp.img at slot B, does it boot properly? Other way around to root Mi A3 using Magisk manager by patching boot.img of V11.0.15. Where can i get this and is it a reliable method without flashing custom recovery like TWRP? Can i flash any other good custom recovery?

Starting July im also facing the same issue. I restarted my phone but received a message that phone has been updated. Now TRWP and root is gone. I can't flast TWRP again on slot boot_a, also cannot flast twrp on boot_b. Stuck on Flashboot.
I was lucky to have the Stock boot img, i then flashed the Stock boot img on both slots a & b. But cannot flast TWRP anymore using ABD/fastboot
Solution: I flashed the new TWRP 3.4 for Android 10 from this link and now the problem is fixed!! https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/development/recovery-twrp-3-4-0-0-patched-boot-img-t4123287

"Note: enable "use rm -rf instead of formatting" in TWRP settings, before you wipe data, else userdata partition will be damaged"

I only used the files from that link. I did not read it anything. But Thanks, you pointed this out.
This means that the next time I wipe data in TWRP, then I should first enable "use rm -rf instead of formatting" in TWRP settings
I have never tried 'wipe data' on this phone. But I'll remember this the next time I 'wipe data'. Thanks, you just saved me.

Help me i bricked my phone

my redmi note 4 mido is bricked and i don't know how, i left my phone for a month because i travelled away and when i came back the phone was stuck on mi logo i tried to fix it by this methods but nothing worked:
-i tried to flash stock firmware via mi flash tool and it failed so many times (i used an old version which stated that the installation succeed but the phone was still stuck in bootloop)
- i tried edl version and it didn't work
- i tried to install via adb and it didn't work also
- i tried to open recovery (volume + and power) it got me to twrp 3.2.3.0 but it's alway stuck on twrp logo and nothing happens
it only happened 2 times when twrp worked and asked me for decryption password, i wrote my phone pin but said wrong password (tried also password and default_password) then i bypassed the password section and got into twrp but i couldn't mount or format storage (it appears that internal storage and sd card is 0 gb) i tried to format it fails,
tried also to change storage to ext2 it got stuck and i couldn't open the twrp again.
any stock firmware flashed on my mido doesn't work and it still stuck on mi logo ( no android loading logo), and it still has twrp
(i tried to flash another twrp or orangefox it just doesn't flash even if it's successful flash on adb)
i tried also to boot the recovery image it also get stuck on the logo and doesn't open the recovery
please help me to know what the hell is wrong with this phone and how i can fix it
help pleassseeeeeeee
Install magisk if you are stuck in boot loop it fixes the problem otherwise download a recovery rom and change your twrp version to 3.1.0.0 because the decryption password in the new versions of twrp doesn't seem to work on rn4. Now wipe system,vendor,data. import recovery rom from your computer and install it. It will install the rom then flash Magisk otherwise your phone will be stuck in bootloop. Wait for a while and bam your system is back!
i can't install anything or even boot into twrp 3.1.0.0 even if i tried
Can you boot into fastboot atleast? If yes then type fastboot reboot recovery and as you said you have twrp installed then it surely means that your bootloader is unlocked. Do you know the name of your custom rom or are you using stock rom? If yes whichever rom you are using just download the recovery rom of that and extract the boot.img in your adb and fastboot folder and flash it via fastboot by typing fastboot flash boot boot.img . And also when booting in twrp which buttons are you using? This happened to me when I myself bricked my device. I thought I can't boot in twrp but the point was I was using volume up+ power but the actual key to boot to twrp is volume up+volume down+power key
You can flash your Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [MIDO] using Mi Flash. I have an article that discusses how to flash Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [MIDO / Snapdragon] that might help you: How to Flash Redmi Note 4 / 4x Snapdragon [Mido] with MiFlash

I think flashing the stock rom should be the last step before which everything possible should be tried

Yes, Flashing Stock ROM should be the last step before he tries to fix. But mostly if the smartphone is bootlooped or bricked there is no other step besides Erase All Data / Format Data or Flashing Stock ROM.

You can flash orignal boot.img which most times fixes the problem and if it didnt work flash system.img it almost always works and the last option is flashing magisk. Then only i will recommend to flash stock rom.

the rom i was using before the phone got bricked is crdroid 10, i downloaded it again as you said and tried to flash boot img then i rebooted into recovery but i got stuck at twrp logo as usual and even if twrp worked it will as for a password i tried all pins i have used on my phone and tried default_password didn't work either, i can't even mount data or storage or anything and it shows everything with 0mb storage (external or internal storage).
i can't even format data to remove encryption it just freezes whenever i do that

i tried that before it's always shows me ( mi flash tool could not find a part of the path) error, there's a one time i tried an older version of mi flash tool and the flash succeeded but when phone rebooted it stayed at the bootloop
i checked the recovery and sadly it was still the same twrp recovery
i don't really know if my phone can be fixed or this an emmc problem
So it means you have your stock rom right? Extract boot.img and flash it with
fastboot flash boot boot.img
make sure to put it in adb folder
You can find boot.img in images folder
If it does not work get the system.img and flash it with
fastboot flash system system.img
i flash the whole stock rom via fastboot (adb) and it also didn't work.
sorry if this seems disappointing
Try orangefox recovery then, not sure why is this happening to you
If still not working type
fastboot oem edl
Then flash via mi flash it should work as far as I know. If not then go to mi service centre it's the last thing you can do

When booting in recovery it starts bootlooping

I have realme 7 pro unlocked bootloader, and when I installed derpfest 12 ROM from TWRP it successfuly installed but I cannot no longer boot to recovery (I tried TWRP and orangefox recovery )
Can someone pls help?
so you tried to flash other custom recoveries and it didn't work?
Yes, but it didn't work
I had this problem too
Mine was caused by wrong custom recovery.
For some reason, this device needs a different custom recovery according to the android version installed.
I have no idea how or why but it is what it is
If you have orangefox for A11 and bootloop upon entering recovery try installing A12 orangefox.
