Which twrp version

[Michel M]

I need to install twrp on my brand new,out of the box,stock mi9.

I noticed 2 versions:

TWRP_3.3.1-34_cepheus_mauronofrio.zip

And:

TWRP_cepheus_10.img

I know the device is called cepheus,but which of these 2 twrp do i need to install with latest miui?

Tx!

 

[Michel M]

Also....can i install latest 9.10.31 with miui 11 from stock OR do i need to make a step in between with miui 10 first?

Don't know, from wich rom you are coming. But i suspect, you can flash from twrp directly, if you format data partition before.
Read first post in rom thread.

First you must unlock the bootloader.
Before your need a account by Xiaomi and your account should be allowed to unlock ....

 

[Michel M]

I know...as this is Will be my 4th xiaomi phone that Will be installed with miui

Was not sure about twrp version and if u can install version 11

Better safe than sorry .

 

[Michel M]

Next problem:
Bootloader is now unlocked.

Via adb i can boot the phone in twrp
I have got the disable force encryption zip in my download folder of my phone

But when in twrp i cannot acces the map download or any other map that i see on my pc when my phone is connected

How can i acces the disable force encryption file when in twrp?

 

[Michel M]

In twrp i see folders like:
Bluetooth
Dsp
Firmware
License
Odm
Oem etc,etc
All of these seems to be empty and different from the folders i see when my phone is connected to my pc

 

[Michel M]

I tried via sdb sideloader but every single reboot brings back to stock recovery???

 

[Mali2]

Wich twrp you are flashing?

After flash new twrp with miflash or adb from pc
boot manually with buttons in twrp.
Before booting in twrp disconnect you cable from pc.

Do you have formated your data partition before flash eu-rom?
Flash eu-rom from OTG-usb or pc.

You don't use encryption?? (Google pay, banking, fingerprint, face unlock)

Thank you for replying!

Phone was in fastboot connected to pc.
Via adb i gave the command to boot to TWRP_3.3.1-34_cepheus_mauronofrio.zip
I than gave the fastboot reboot command.

I never took cable from pc off....volume button up, power button in.
When in temp.twrp i cannot see any folder or content,so i could not find the decryption file.

I did a adb sideload and was able to push the file to the phone and phone accepted it.
After a reboot it comes back to stock recovery.....

I have not formatted any thing.
Phone comes right out of package and was only used with stock global rom.

I told you in earlier post:

Use the newest twrp 3.3.1-46
the older can not work correctly with encryption from Android 10
Boot in new twrp without connected to PC.
Format data (with "yes" option)
Wipe cache and dalvik.
Flash new rom
First boot in system without magisk etc

After booting in system, you could flash other stuff

problem is that I cannot connect usb to phone as I do not have a usb to type c cable.
can I also push the rom from my pc to the phone,using adb sideload and than flash it?

 

[Michel M]

downloaded the rom on my pc and try to push it via adb/sideload but got cannot read from zip
I think I need to go to shop and get an usb c to usb cable

 

[Mali2]

why you flash disableforce ...?
Tryed IMG File from pc?
Normaly sideload should work with original cable from xiaomi

Sorry, ask in twrp thread i posted before. I can not help more.

FINALLY....I got it to work.

what I did:
after I did the flash of the twrp at some point I was able to see the folders on my pc,copied the rom,did not do the wipe of data (when I did I lost the rom)and installed it via twrp.

it took 3 reboots and it came to live with new rom and new twrp.

mali2,thanks a lot for your help and patience with me.
much appreciated!!
