TWRP and MIUI 13 / Android 12

[michelleDeko]

Hello,

I have read online, that TWRP doesnt support Android 12 right now. I have the Version 3.5.1 of TWRP (newest one for Mi 11 Pro is 3.6.0 right now, without Android 12 support still.)
How will I be able to update to MIUI 13, after it gets a stable release, with TWRP? And how will I be able to update TWRP? Do I just need to flash the TWRP IMG File?

The software versions on android 12 will be fastboot, not recovery, so we'll work without twrp until a compatible version for each device is released

Ok then I will probably need to wait for Android 12 Release of TWRP? Because I dont have any clue how fastboot works. And how will I be able, to update TWRP? Do I just need to flash the newer TWRP IMG file in the Recovery? There is an option to flash an IMG file, but I dont know if its made for TWRP IMG files.

These are the steps for updating (copied from FAQ)

Installation of A12 devices via Fastboot:
- Download our ROM zip file
- Unpack downloaded zip file in the PC
- Reboot your device to fastboot mode (press volume down + power)
- Connect to PC via USB cable
- Run fastboot installation script from unpacked zip according your PC operating system:
--- For Windows OS - windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat
--- For Linux - linux_fastboot_update_rom.sh
--- For MacOS - macos_fastboot_update_rom.sh

For TWRP, you'll have to check their site. If/once you find a version that supports A12, just enter fastboot mode (as guided above) and flash is using this command

fastboot flash recovery (file name, for examle twrp.img)

No, data won't be affected at all

Personally, i wouldn't do it. This way you typically replace something while using it, and it could brake things. Fastboot taked a bit more time but makes sure that the previous recovery file is completely deleted before flashing the new one. I'm not sure if it happens with the same safety levels by updating through twrp. Of course i could me wrong since im not an expert. It's just the way i see it

Ok I just tried doing everything like in the video but the partition is completly different. I dont have a Recovery Partition. So do you eventually have a youtube tutorial how I can update TWRP with fastboot? Like, I dont even know where I get the tools for PC...

I now tried this tutorial. Now im in TWRP 3.6.0 (installed version: 3.5.1)
Problem: How do I flash it now? I have an option in advanced called "Flash Currewnt TWRP" but the guy in the video uses the setting "Onekey Inject TWRP"

then you have to type fastboot boot twrp.img and it should work (at least it worked on the second tutorial)

Yeah then I booted it, but how do I install it then? The Onekey Inject TWRP Button is missing

You can flash any twrp version you want using the tutorial that you sent. It's the same prosses for every recovery that you want to flash

Now i get what you mean. If there is no option to install it, it probably means that it's done by default and it should remain after reboot

That not my problem. I boot the TWRP.img and then? I booted into TWRP, after I reboot into TWRP again, Im on the old version again because it didnt install, because the Onekey Injection TWRP button is missing under "Advanced"

It didnt got installed after booting it

 

[Tsim Pouki]

It didnt got installed after booting it

That's very strange.. It should be installed by default. Are you sure that you flashed the correct file? Are you on android 11 or 12?

Im on Android 11. I couldnt install it, since I got the error I posted earlier.

After that I tried just booting it. It booted without any problems. It just didnt install on the phone.

You can try to flash it as boot (fastboot flash boot twrp.img). Some phones don't have recovery partition and the boot does the whole job.
If you want to try it, i recommend you to download the rom that you use just for case that something brake (you'll be able to flash the normal boot image and everything should be normal. Typically it won't let you install like that it if the recovery is not supposed to be combined with boot but its better to be safe than sorry)

No Such Partition

I am not sure when or how this happened, but I have installed Magisk and Xposed a while back (about a month ago) and had no issues. Today I was looking at kernels to install and decided to go into TWRP to do a backup, only to find the stock...

Well seems like I destroyed everything now. I just flashed the TWRP.img file on the boot partition. I now wanted to boot into the System (so MIUI) and welp. Now it boots TWRP instead. Im now really goddamn scared that I broke my phone

Please say me I can save all my apps, files etc. I dont want to setup everything new...
If I need to setup everything new, I will sell this phone and buy a new one with official support because holy s*it I dont want to destroy another phone

If reboot to system brings you to twrp then download the rom that you currently run, go to images folder, find boot image and then flash it (fastboot flash boot boot.img) and everything will be back to normal
