Is there any latest stock boot img for Mi A3? - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

I accidently upgraded my phone to Android 10 11.0.14 ( prehaps ). I want to install TWRP on this phone, and I attempted to install it without flashing the boot img, and it caused to entirely be bricked and stuck on fastboot, and I did also attempt to change the slot, but ****** off. I tried using MiFlash, ****** off, reinstall, ****** off. I still kept my OnePlus rom and I succeed to install and normally use it, and it still remained TWRP. I installed the stock rom for it cuz Oxygen is so unstable, and I did, but the TWRP is lost. I reinstalled it, but it bricked, again. I entered TWRP, wipe all data, and enter again, but lost TWRP. I figured that I did miss flashing boot img, thanks to a thread I accidently read. And I also figured how stupid I was when I just did upgraded my phone to the latest version, and there is no boot img compatible to that version, and I did searched entire internet for it. I didnt try to flash the boot img of the early version cuz I am afraid it bricked again cuz of the compatibility. So when will I expect for a boot img file to flash TWRP and when can I download and use it? Or technically I dont need that boot img file and just simply change the slot and flash it? Ty.

try this boot img, its compatible with android 10 also twrp is already installed in the boot img.

Hang on. What do you mean by TWRP is already installed ? Does it mean that boot img file already contained TWRP or I do need to install it as a boot img to get the phone boot and work normally?
And btw, is installing SHRP Recovery an opinion or a must?

the boot img already contain twrp, and the boot img should be able to boot your rom (stock android 10) and no shrp is not a must you can use any recovery you like, but if you want to keep your recovery after installing a rom you have to install the recovery installer zip

Change of custom kernel and installation of new recovery

Hi xda!
I have a Z5C and i was tired of sonys laggy version of Android so I decided to install zombie kernel with twrp as backup.
The kernel works brilliant but I can only boot to recovery with help from fastboot. I would like to be able to boot to recovery directly from my phone without the use of fastboot/PC..
I also have a z4 tablet with Androplus kernel with twrp recovery.. And I am able to boot directly from the tablet to recovery.
So I decided to install Androplus and twrp for my z5c. I tried to install twrp through twrp and it looked like it was installed... However still not able to boot to recovery without fastboot. Then I tried to install with fastboot and I got an error - picture attached.
When I look under "about phone" the phone tells me that I'm still using the old zombiekernel??
How do I get Androplus kernel and working twrp installed on my z5c?
Thanks in advance

To boot to recovery in the z5c you gotta pudg the volume up while booting over and over until you see the notification LED go red-yellow-orange
Once you're in recovery you could restore your old kernal if you made s bsckup
I know... But that is not working. The only way i can get it to boot is with fastboot. What to do?

Try flash tool to push anew kernel maybe.I've never done it but from what j have read, download your firmware from xperia firmware and use flash tool to only flash kernel.
You need to use fastboot to flash the boot.img to the phone and then do the same for recovery.img. It will then work with androplus kernel and twrp.
Thats my setup currently.

Sorry to resurect this old thread. Can you or anyone provide a boot.img or how to go about creating one? I am in same situation (stuck at boot screen) and only have access to fastboot. Thanks.
For which version of rom? I can give you 32.0.A.200 boot.img and twrp recovery.
Are you sure you're clicking volume up when booting? It doesn't work when you hold the volume up button down.
If y'all go to the twrp thread there is a modified boot.IMG that allows booting to recovery now.

Pixel 3 root issue

Hi,
i have a problem rooting my Pixel 3.
it already worked, then i installed another rom which i did not like, so i re-installed the stock image from google (9.0.0 PQ1A.181205.006, Dec 2018).
But, here comes the problem, i can not install Magisk. When i do, my Pixel does not boot to system, but boots back to recovery or says can´t load android system.
this is how i do it:
1. flash factory image
2. boot to system
3. boot twrp
4. flash Magisk v18.0
also tried:
1. flash factory image
2. boot twrp directly
3. flash Magisk v18.0
this does not work. what i also tried is patch the stock boot.img with magisk and flash it to boot_a and boot_b. also did not work.
what am i doing wrong?
thnaks in advance for your help!

You've got the kernel and recovery messed up on your device from the failed flash of twrp and magisk. I would start over by flashing the factory image using the flash all batch file with the -w edited out of it. Then try again booting twrp, not flashing it. Once you try to flash the twrp image file you pretty much have to start over with the stock boot image. When you boot into twrp you'll want to allow modifications. You also need to setup a pin or pattern security for your system so twrp will decrypt your device.

Thanks for the hint. It works now. But had to use the patched boot image from this link.

Can somebody help me please!

So hey! I successfully booted into the TWRP and used it to flash the DISABLEFORCEENCRYPTION file, right after. I decided to reboot to recovery (Cause I think that would be great just after you flash something in TWRP) but then after it finishes showing the pocophone booting screen rather than showing TWRP recovery. It showed the stock MIUI recovery! someone please help! I just finished flashing magisk and a custom rom by using the method of: Everytime I need to flash something using TWRP I would just open adb and fastboot boot recovery it again so that I could use the TWRP!
Thank you in advance!

I decided to fix this problem after I flashed a rom cause I think I would run into future problems involving magisk and it's use of the TWRP recovery.

If you already have the ROM installed, use adb to flash TWRP and without booting flash Magisk and then boot to system. If you are on stock ROM, follow THIS.
For entering into TWRP, use the key combination of volume up + power buttons.
You can use the encryption compatible TWRP (search for it) instead of the official one.

Flashing recovery - keeps reverting to stock after reboot

Hi peeps
New Pocophone owner here. I got my bootloader unlocked earlier today and now trying to flash the official TWRP 3.3.0.0 recovery from twrp.me, simply following the fastboot instructions on the device guide.
However every time I reboot the device, the recovery always reverts to the stock MIUI recovery?
What am I doing wrong here?
I just got the phone and have upgraded it to MIUI 10.3.6 as well. I am wanting to flash pixel experience onto it.
Do following, instead of flashing your recovery.
Use this method boot and flash Magisk. Reboot back to your system and install Flashify and install your choosen Recovery with it

in stock rom you need to flash magisk right after flashing twrp else it will get replaced by stock

What the post above says is correct. However, if you don't want Magisk, after flashing TWRP, reboot into recovery and then into system. You may retain TWRP. However, this doesn't work for everyone.
Hi all, I fixed the issue by completely wiping my phone via TWRP and clean flashing pixel experience ROM. After rebooting on pixel rom TWRP persists.
It appears that MIUI rom has something that keeps reverting it to stock MI-recovery.
If you are on MIUI and flashing TWRP, once the recovery is up for the first time, you need to head on to reboot>recovery again in order to overwrite MIUI stock recovery. So the whole process would be like this;
i) Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the name of the image)
ii) Fastboot boot recovery
iii) Once TWRP is up, Swipe to allow modification and then go to Reboot>Recovery and reboot into TWRP once more. That's it! You have just overwritten the stock recovery and are now on TWRP!! Now you can reboot to system and TWRP will remain on your device. There's no need to flash Magisk etc if you want just TWRP and nothing else.

I did those exact steps and it didn't work. It ALWAYS kept getting overwritten.

Did you follow step 3? You can't boot into system right after twrp is up for the first time. You need to reboot into twrp twice before you boot into system. This is what I do whenever I flash twrp and it never failed me yet.

Yes, I even flashed the recovery image from within TWRP and rebooted to recovery again. Still didn't work.
Note this was on the new 10.3.6 stable MIUI release that got rolled out recently. Not sure if it has new detection or anything that rolls it back.
Anyway I have resolved my issue now all is good.

Unofficial TWRP now available

Was searching in preparation of my K30 arriving, and found an unofficial version of TWRP is now available.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/unofficialtwrp.com/unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-xiaomi-redmi-k30/amp/
Note: I've not tried it myself, as I don't have the phone yet.
It's a none working TWRP ripped from a dev who was working on it. don't even test it guys. Devs at .eu made one that actually works.

Thanks for the info @ddaggebi
I used the K30 TWRP from https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/twrp.53906/page-8#post-528914 to fastboot boot to TWRP and dump stock boot, recovery and misc (using e.g. `dd=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/tmp/boot.img`). Then I patched the boot.img with Magisk Manager Canary. :good:
Any idea why that TWRP recovery installer .bat overwrites the misc partition? Temp booting the .img directly with fastboot boot seemed to work fine without their patched misc, so I'm sticking with that for now.
Again, be sure to fastboot boot recovery and then dump your ROM's misc first if you plan on flashing the recovery using that batch script, since you might need to flash it back along with the ROM's recovery for OTAs to succeed.
I can understand rooting here but is twrp installed permanently here? I mean to flash any rom do we always need fastboot command to boot twrp or its staying always and working normally??

Yes. But some features are limited for now.
btw I installed eu rom in case stock rom replaces TWRP to stock recovery.

Also here is the latest Magisk Canary (20308) patched stock boot.img to simplify rooting for those just getting started on this device. Simply fastboot flash boot it..

Ok so the question is can we reboot to recovery normally or we need to manually type fastboot command to boot to recovery..
I am still searching for twrp , which can normally appears while rebooting to recovery
LR.Team twrp-3.4.0-0209 will be installed by default when you install Eu rom.
I can reboot into recovery as normal (by pressing "vol up" & "power" button). To install root, I can simply go to "Advanced" -> "Install Root" or by using boot.img method. One thing which I can't do is deleting (or changing file name) to system file to remove some of the unwanted app.
It works very well
