Well, from my experience with Android 13-based Beta for Xiaomi 12, so far it seems that fastboot ROMs might be back with Android 13, because those TWRPs can't decrypt data on it.
[HowTo] Install Recovery image
- Thread starter katerpanne
- Start date
bro, were you able to find the downloaded ROM finally,. even I am in the same boat, cannot find the downloaded EU ROM after clicking on install, how did you fix it ? May i know please. thanks
Thanks a lot for the reply, may I know if I had installed fastboot earlier till 13.0.8 now can we install recovery rom on top of it without a clean format ? Like I went to the TWRP recovery and unable to find the downloaded EU ROM 13.0.9 downloaded in the internal storage. I believe I need to do a clean format and reinstall 13.0.9. Is that correct ? Thanks
Can someone please help.. 12 Pro here with xiaomi eu v13.0.36 firmware. Im trying to install twrp so I can flash the 13.0..37 but when I run the command in fastboot boot twrp.img ( it says sucesfull) but all I get is the black screen. I cant get TWRP to load at all. I have try all fastboot commands and still black screen. If I reboot the phone, it just opens as notmal phone..

What TWRP did you use? If you use the fastboot boot twrp.img command, you must use TWRP (BOOT) or TWRP (REC-BOOT), not TWRP (REC).
dl.akr-developers.com
If you are using TWRP (REC) you must use the command : TWRP will install permanently. Xiaomi 12 series devices except Xiaomi 12X.
If you use TWRP (BOOT) you use the command: TWRP will only boot.
This applies to devices with A/B partitions.

I changed the zip file to twrp.img.
In fastboot i ran command fastboot boot twrp.img
It says creating boot image
downloading boot image
OKAY Booting
Finished!
And thats it, black screen only. I have to reboot to phone to restart it.
So Im basically stuck in unable to flash new firmware cause old one was glitchy and with a few issues.
Any other solutions please?

You still didn't say which TWRP you used (BOOT) or (REC) ?
You can also try the older TWRP 5.1.
PS:
Such a huge picture is really unnecessary. You could only crop the black part with the text..

Im such a fool, I have it sorted. I used the full twrp zip file rather them unziping it first and then renaming to img, as I just renamed the .zip file first.You still didn't say which TWRP you used (BOOT) or (REC) ?

Hi,
In a previous a message i described my problem with the TWRP which was that i turned the language of the TWRP to Greek from English but i wanted to change it again to English but when i trying to do it the TWRP was restarting (not the phone) and i was keep returning to the options of the TWRP again.
I did the thing that you guys told me in my previous messages but it didn't change anything so i am sending you a video showing my problem that i keep bumping into and also i wanted to ask do is there a file that i need to delete a file in order to at the original settings?
Also how can i unistall the TWRP and reinstall it again .
Every Opinion is welcome
Thank you.

Which flashing method is used makes no difference. Data isn't touched unless you manually wipe/format it.
if TWRP cannot decrypt data, how are you guys releasing the latest EU ROM for MI 11 as TWRP recovery instead of fastboot. Is fastboot on the way ? As I have read somewhere that " MIUI13 Doesn't support TWRP at the moment. You have to update using fastboot ROM on your PC."
He's talking about future Android 13 based releases. Newest Xiaomi.eu is Android 12.

Which file do I need to download ? I can not find my phone there.
Redmi Note 10 Pro
I think my phone is encrypted because of which it's not asking for a password when I login to recovery using twrp.. And it doesn't even show up the download install eu rom 13.0.9 in the internal storage. Does that make sense guys? Can you please advise how to decrypt the download eu rom 13.0.9.. Is there any way to resolve this problem? Or do I need to format it to upgrade to 13.0.9 from 13.0.8.. I have mi 11. Please help any technical people. Appreciate it. Thanks again. Cheers.

did you try this on 1st page and do you have twrp for a12?
If you cant decrypt / see your folders after booting TWRP
- change Pattern/Password to PIN or remove it and try it again
- another solution from @Karpfenhai
- further solution from @digeratz
a query, I have an 11T pro and it is not A/B but when I want to install TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery" it does not install, I get one with an error that says something with "a/" but I was able to install it with "fastboor reboot" but when I was in TWRP it wouldn't let me install the updated ROM and it wouldn't let me exit TWRP when rebooting either, I had to go back to fastboot and install the ROM via fastboot.How to install a xiaomi.eu recovery image
Because of more and more working TWRP on MIUI13 Android12 a little How To
and here we go ....
Unlock your device (only once)
- you need to unlock bootloader
-> a small [howto] to unlock bootloader
Install Tools and Drivers
- install USB drivers & adb and fastboot tools (Windows 10)
- install SDK Platform Tools (Windows 10 & 11 / Mac / Linux)
- install xiaomi drivers (sometimes necessary)
-> a small [howto] if you have driver issues
Download xiaomi.eu recovery rom
- download recovery image for your phone to PC
-> choose stable or weekly like you want or need
Now you need a TWRP for your device A12
- download TWRP for your device from xiaomi.eu
- or download TWRP for your device from skkk
- rename the downloaded TWRP into "twrp.img"
Boot and install TWRP on your device
There are A/B and non A/B devices on the market
All devices before Mi 11 era (except Mi 10S, Redmi Note 10 Pro Global) are non-A/B devices
Check if you have a A/B device or not
- Download Treble Check
- Check for this entry
View attachment 42952
Prepare Boot and install TWRP / ROM
- open "cmd.exe" on your PC
- change to directory were you have installed adb & fastboot
-> eg "cd c:\adb"
- copy downloaded and renamed "twrp.img" to "c:\adb"
- connect PC and phone with USB cable
- put phone in fastboot (reboot phone and then holding "Volume -" and "Power on" buttons simultaneously)
- you should see a bunny picture and an info "fastboot" on the phone
-> on some devices you will see orange info "FASTBOOT" (new fastboot logo)
please do this step to prevent from black window
- type in "cmd window": "fastboot devices" and hit RETURN
- check if you see a number (sometimes with characters)
-> then all is fine
- if you dont see a number:
change USB port / change USB cable / use USB 2.0 / use an USB Hub / check driver installation
do next steps only if "fastboot devices" shows a number / characters
- the "cmd window" should be open on PC
- change to "c:\adb"
-> eg "cd c:\adb" hit RETURN and type "dir" hit RETURN
- you should see the files "fastboot.exe" and "twrp.img"
Boot and install TWRP / ROM on A/B device
- type "fastboot.exe boot twrp.img" (without "")
- TWRP should be loading and then enter PIN/Pattern/Password
- copy downloaded ROM to internal storage of your device
- install the ROM -> see nice pictures from @gogocar62
- optional you can flash TWRP permanent with "Install Recovery Ramdisk"
- Reboot to System -> see nice pictures from @gogocar62
Boot and install TWRP / ROM on non A/B device
- type "fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp.img" (without "")
- type "fastboot.exe reboot recovery" (without "")
- TWRP should be loading and then enter PIN/Pattern/Password
- copy downloaded ROM to internal storage of your device
- install the ROM -> see nice pictures from @gogocar62
- Reboot to System -> see nice pictures from @gogocar62
Thats all ... voilla .....
Here are some hints and solutions for issues:
Do I have to format (not wipe) Data in TWRP
You have to format (not wipe) data in TWRP
- if you install the xiaomi.eu rom for the first time
- if you change from weekly to stable (recommended)
- if you change from stable to weekly (recommended)
- you will loose your data -> make a backup
How to change the language in TWRP
- see nice pictures from @gogocar62
BOOT / REC TWRP for some devices
For some devices there are different TWRPs available
1.) BOOT-TWRP -> fastboot boot twrp - boot TWRP only
2.) REC-TWRP -> fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img - install TWRP permanent
3.) BOOT-REC-TWRP -> you can use both fastboot commands -> see 1.) & 2.)
TWRP update shows ERROR: 1 / can not mount system ...
- this error can occur if you try the update with updater app or if you started TWRP manually
- Solution:
-> while you are in TWRP reboot your device in recovery mode
-> try to install the rom again
-> if it will fail, reboot in recovery again
-> or use "fastboot boot twrp.img" again
-> sometimes you need more then one try
-> if it will not work choose another twrp version
You can test if you have a A/B device with this command
# fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
If there is an error message "no recovery partition" you have an A/B device
or run this command it is true if A/B
# adb shell getprop ro.build.ab_update
Updates of TWRP
- For non-A/B devices TWRP will not be replaced automatically while installing ROM unless you flash the new, working recovery.
- For most A/B devices TWRP will be flashed permanent while installing ROM (perhaps a different version than yours)
- If there is a REC-TWRP for the device, the TWRP is not included into the ROM any longer
How to start TWRP manually
# fastboot boot-recovery
# fastboot boot recovery
# adb boot recovery
restart device
# hold "power on" and "volume +"
If you cant decrypt / see your folders after booting TWRP
- change Pattern/Password to PIN or remove it and try it again
- another solution from @Karpfenhai
- further solution from @digeratz
You can check if your device is unlocked
fastboot oem device-info
-> there is a line "Device unlocked = true or false"
--------------------------------------------------
If you dont see "Mi Unlock Status" in developer options
-> your device is also unlocked

no way the storage could be decrypted i think unless i format the data i will not be able to update and that is annoying and time consuming
