[UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.1.1-0 Recovery for Xiaomi Redmi 4 China [PRADA][BUGLESS]

[Kizoky]

Unofficial TeamWin Recovery Project

Xiaomi Redmi 4 (prada)

Last update: 11.11.2017​

MIUI9 status: Flash ok

Please note:
Redmi 4 China (2/16) = prada
Redmi 4 China Prime (3/32) = markw
Redmi 4 India (2/16) = Redmi 4X = santoni
Redmi 4A (2/16) = rolex

After long hours of pain, trials & errors, I have succesfully built TWRP for Redmi 4 from sources (It's not just a simple port)
Based on latest source of TWRP

Requirements:
-Make sure your bootloader is unlocked!
-ADB tools (for flashing the recovery)
-Patience

Drag the recovery.img to the root folder of ADB (for example: c:\adb\ <---- drag the file here)
Boot your phone into fastboot mode, then enter the following:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Long press the power button to make the phone restart. Press Power + Volume UP to enter into recovery mode
Enjoy

For Stock ROM users, If you need to disable DM-Verify, press INSTALL, then navigate to /!verify/verify.zip
This will patch boot.img for MIUI ROMs

What do you mean by Can't access (decrypt) internal storage.

What do you mean by Can't access (decrypt) internal storage.

You can't access the internal SD (basically the 9-11GB storage on your phone) because an issue with the fstab file
But I fixed it, I just need to make sure it is working, then I'll release a new version

Redmi 4 China (2/16) = prada
Redmi 4 Prime (3/32) = markw
Redmi 4 India (2/16) = Redmi 4X = santoni (There may be 2/32, 4/64, variations I don't really know)
Redmi 4A (2/16) = rolex

Redmi 4 China isn't sold in India by the way.

Your code name is Santoni (Redmi 4X)
Yes you can. (Just don't install this TWRP because it won't work on your device)

DM-Verify is a security measure used by many OEMs to prevent custom ROM or kernel installing if by any chance the phone is stolen, this is basically making the phone less easier to crack open with private data on it.
So for example, If you install an official ROM from Xiaomi, the phone won't boot because the recovery is different, you need to disable DM-verify.

Answer my question
Which device do you have?

Redmi 4? Redmi 4X? Redmi 4A? which one?

Also, please try reflashing the recovery, and download it from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298960766
I suppose you downloaded an older version of TWRP which this version has already fixed that issue

Owning a Xiaomi Redmi 4 (prada) i tried your twrp and tried to use the verify patch to be able to access the data partition. No luck so far. Some red errors which i did not write down during install of verify.zip but it did something according the messages with boot.img. After rebooting and entering twrp no luck in accessing the data partition (0). Suppose i did something wrong; any ideas?
I installed from this archive; recovery-3.1.0-0_V2.zip

That's an interesting issue
Unfortunately I can't recreate it, no matter how hard I try
Besides, !verify.zip is only used for official Xiaomi recovery ROMs, and not unofficial ones which has already the said patch.

Backup information from data If you need, then do a full wipe of it
If it didn't help try installing xiaomi.eu ROM then please tell me if the problem still persists
(note: Previous TWRP release before V2 has a bug with the internal storage/data which you cannot access, reflash V2 TWRP If you still have the old one)
