Q: Does this recovery work with <INSERT ROM NAME HERE>?
A: I use Xiaomi.eu latest stable rom, the recovery is tested with that rom by me, and when released, everything should be working, unless stated otherwise. I don't support weekly roms(beta) and I can't test with other roms as Grus is my daily driver. For every other rom, use the Telegram group for support. You are welcome to report bugs, but expect no ETA.

Until now most people recommended the Chinese twrp for muiu Roms, and another one for gsi or non-MIUI Roms.

Is your twrp capable of dealing with both?

And what about encryption... Do I still need to format internal storage when I switch from MIUI to custom Rom or from one MIUI to another (for example, from xiaomi.eu to Masik MIUI)?

Thanks in advance for your time answering my questions

I am currently using this with xiaomi.eu rom
The internal storage encryption problem is due to the kernel security date. If you install a kernel (or rom or recovery containing a different kernel from what you have)with higher security patch than what you actually have, the encryption keys get automatically updated and you can decrypt that storage only with that kernel. With TWRP this is not an issue, as long as you don't use the fastboot boot command. Anyway, in this recovery there are included zips to backup and restore internal storage to usb_otg so you can backup everything if switching roms. Always remember to copy TWRP backups out(or backup directly to usb_otg) because these scripts do not backup TWRP folder.

Read the original post once again. Internal storage cannot be backed up directly by twrp. But you can find the scripts that I made in advanced -> tools

sorry, but what is the problem ?. I've never had this problem with other xiaomy cell phones. Through scripts I can backup and restore?

Twrp does not have official support to backup internal storage. Our device does not have sdcard. Standard backup works perfectly

sorry again. But how standard backup works. I use the script and I need an otg usb adapter? If I connect the phone directly to the PC with cable in recovery it does not recognize it

Exactly, your pc is not usb otg. On your pc just copy files to a folder

with the usb otg adapter can I also use a flash drive? after which the restore works the same way?

I don't know what is due, but I have just updated the rom.eu and in the recovery the update script does not start

 

[redispade]

Definitely not recovery problem. I backed up all and flashed xiaomi.eu release today with that. Everything smooth

to me, however, the cell phone went into recovery and I had to flash the rom manually

I have just installed the new version but it continues to give me error. We need to set some particular configuration?

Edit: sorry. I read better changelog.

I installed a new rom with date format. When I restart in recovery I can't find the download folder. Is there a problem with encrypted folders?
