Hello,

i have tried to install twrp on my xiaomi 17 pro max like it was mentioned here https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/installing-a-custom-recovery.67841/.

But i got a failed message in cmd there stands:
Warning: skip copying recovery_ab image avb footer (recovery_ab partition size: 0, recovery_ab image size: 134217728).
Sending 'recovery_ab' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 2.977s]
Writing 'recovery_ab' (bootloader) Partition recovery_a flashed failed
FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a) Image is too large for the partition.')
fastboot: error: Command failed

So I started a commant with:
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp-3.7.1_16-popsicle-YuKongA.img
fastboot flash recovery_b twrp-3.7.1_16-popsicle-YuKongA.img
fastboot reboot recovery

this one worked so that my twrp got installed but the problem is that it dont react to my touches. Means I stuck now in twrp when i open it. Can somebody help by solving this problem?

I have downloaded the twrp-3.7.1_16-popsicle-YuKongA.img (from https://sourceforge.net/projects/recovery-for-xiaomi-devices/files/popsicle/)
and put it in the fastboot windows folder.

After that I have renamed the twrp-3.7.1_16-popsicle-YuKongA.img to recovery and installed it again with the promt:

fastboot flash recovery_ab recovery.img
fastboot reboot recovery

And this was the result:

Warning: skip copying recovery_ab image avb footer (recovery_ab partition size: 0, recovery_ab image size: 104857600).
Sending 'recovery_ab' (102400 KB) OKAY [ 2.426s]
Writing 'recovery_ab' (bootloader) Partition recovery_a flashed successfully
(bootloader) Partition recovery_b flashed successfully
OKAY [ 0.152s]
Finished. Total time: 2.651s

After the reboot in the recovery the twrp stucks anyway.

ok I have installed hyperos again with install and format data. After that my twrp was deleted. And than I installed twrp again by the correct way. But I still stuck in TWRP... Why.. Please help.

Newest Update: I have installed HyperOS 3.0.45.0 EU again with install and format data so i dont have TWRP anymore. Maybe someone can tell me how I can install TWRP in correct way.

Do somebody have a solution or do you somebody have the same problem on the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max?

Also the ZIP installation in my magisk are not working. It is turned on and i can grant root in some apps. Zygisk is on and Ramdisk also. But if I try to install modules there stands this is not a magisk module..
 
Idk if it works but in this german forum they say that they solved it.

@Scarhead117 letzteres ist soweit richtig, muss gestehen auf den selben Fehler bin ich gestern auch reingefallen und hatte recovery.img geflasht und dadurch ausversehern eine komplett flasche aufgespielt. Nachdem ich den Namen dann geändert hatte funktionierte es einwandfrei. * Your custom...

First of all a lot of love for your response. Its not correct that the problem has solved. The man writing in this german forum is myself. I wrote there before I asked here for a solution. I Just mentioned there like here what I tried to solve but nothing worked.

Maybe we will get a newer twrp soon and that will work. If u find a solution please let me know. I will also contact you when I find a way to bring the twrp to work.

There was a issue in TWRP. You need USB hub and mouse to use TWRP. I'm also use that method.

Does anyone want to test my mod to see if the touch works?
Click to expand...
I would or could but currently i dont need twrp. Also what happens if it get cracked? I dont can loose all my datas. The first time i mean for the bootloader unlock was also too much to set my phone back.
 
If it doesn't work, reflash the original recovery... I just tried to fix the touch... I would like to understand if with displays from different vendors it now chooses it correctly... Nothing should happen.
 
O man im struggling. The thing is i can understand that u need somebody who test your mod. And i know such Situation and want to help. On the other side if i will get root my banking apps will Stop working. And they work now without prob.

But you know what I will give it a try. How to communicate?

It's not root, it's recovery, my 17 pro max is arriving, I ordered it but I've already started working on it because I want a good recovery and an update from xiaomi.eu that works without problems. As if it were an original system. Write on telegram: @ab123ab567
