TWRP Mi Mix 3


noob question, but twrp must be used to flash eu rom on to chinese version? and the chinese twrp can/should be used for this?
Yes, u need to format data, flash eu, wipe n reboot

Neither Mix1 nor Mix2s have thus far received the blessings of an official TWRP that works.

Are they not loved enough by the TWRP nerds at XDA?

My Mi Note 2 actually got an official TWRP for the first time about 1 1/2 years after release, for no particular reason that I know of.
It was never popular at XDA I believe.

This is a serious problem that I see no easy solution to, and is one reason among several why I am not so enthused about getting a Mix 2s.

It's really not that big a deal. The one we have works fine, it just won't back up your data partition, and there are plenty of alternatives for that.

You need it for a lot of other things too, like installing things.

And there is no good alternative to a TWRP backup.

Hmmm tricky twrp... it continues asking for decription password whenever I open it to flash something, even though I formatted data multiple times. Should I change format to ext4?

edit additional details:

Received phone last week and unlocked BL this weekend. after unlock flashed latest EU stable, no magisk or anything else yet since the decription password worries me. Everytime I boot into TWRP it is decrypting data which keeps me away from flashing anything else now. Even more worried about OTA's.

edit 2:

I found the remove DM verity and remove force encrypt bit in this TWRP.... brrrr. Should I do both ??

Never seen this in TWRP or any other custom Recovery (and I have been around for a while fooling with phones and flashing). Flashing Lazyflasher also not working.

How did you flash the dm verity? because when I do that it always give me ERROR 1 for the ramdisk. can you gimme some instructions or link where can I download it? Im using dm-verity version 6.0 but no luck on getting that one flashed.
 
Maybe somebody has ideas how backup /data in this TWRP on xiaomi.eu. I would like to try another ROMs, but I really don't want to restore all apps with mi-backup or titanium...

I didn't... it was not working, there is however an option in the TWRP build we are using that looks like it would do the trick. I don't have the guts to try it with this TWRP :-D
 
Can someone please download newest TWRP recovery for Mi MIX3 and add to downloads.
Thank you!

any difference ?

Nope, only a swipe when start like in "normal" twrp, then is the same s**t...no backup, don't decrypt automatically...n i noticed also that start 2/3 times on mi screen before to start the rom...i was scared went in bootloop first time...but do it everytime
 
Do i need to have a specific stock rom pre-installed?
don't get twrp running properly (adb says installation was fine, but when rebooting the Mi-Recovery 3.0 is still active..)
adb v1.4
twrp from here
device is unlocked
current rom: MIUI 10.2.2.0 (PEECNXM)
8/128gb

Appreciate any help!
