Do you backup to USB-OTG device?
Maybe your USB stick has write errors to its flash storage or does not get enough power from phone.
Please try to backup to internal storage first and verify this operation could finished successful.
Yes Otg. (Model SanDisk 3.0"new Pen drive'')
However, the backup at the root of the phone works.

Hi - Any idea why TWRP will only download as a .txt file for me? Should it not be in a different format? Thanks
I just experimented flashing ROM from MIUI 10 Alpha to Dirty Unicorn without formatting the data (type "yes"), only "Wipe All". Booting the system and then set the lockscreen password & fingerprint. After that reboot to recovery mode and viola "password failed..."
So i just reboot to system and installed Flashify and flash TWRP recovery. it works!

Thank You for your quick reply,
Yes!!! it works. Now how I can install permanently twrp?
Only if you are using a custom ROM.
Miui stock rom will always overwrite twrp with stock recovery.
There's an additional zip you can flash in twrp to keep twrp with miui. Maybe Someone can link it.
As treble will be available in today's LOS build I have gone ahead and enabled support for the vendor partition in the latest official TWRP.

So with Raupe's TWRP, and now with the offical 3.2.2-1, I make a backup of the global developer rom, flash something else (like ABC rom) with no problem, but when I go to restore the backup, the OS loads but system just sits there thinking, homescreen never loads, it's like no apps are installed, system or otherwise. I wipe before flashing and restoring, am I missing something? Each time I'm stuck formatting data in TWRP and then using fastboot to reflash global developer rom.

You are giving instruction for rooted device. What if someone wants to flash twrp on a non-rooted device? Where is the instruction for that?

Can I just boot into twrp (temporarily) by typing fastboot boot recovery.img and then just flash Magisk to gain root access? Or am I missing any step??

twrp-3.2.2-1-chiron.img4Hello @blankaf and @TheStrix
I tried to rebuild your TWRP with the information provided here in the thread.
I was successful somehow ...
... build TWRP runs smooth and TWRP was booting fine but the self built recovery was not able to decrypt the MIUI ROM based data partition (created with ROM miui_MIMIX2Global_8.4.19_fa49b22402_8.0.zip).
This was a bit surprising because the downloaded official TWRP was able to decrypt MIUI.
I did some investigation an found that several files differ.
This is absolutely reasonable for some files (bacause of different folder locations thy reference to and so on) but for some it's not.
My special attention is for files as follows:
- ramdisk\init
- ramdisk\file_contexts.bin
- all listed files in ramdisk\sbin folder (see sceenshot/attached file)
I would be kindly ask you to publish the manifest files that have been used to build the TWRP that has a working encryption.
If possible the command that has been used to init the repo would also be very helpful.
Possibly my build environment has to many/wrong other projects activated that prevents me from building an recovery with working en-/decryption - your information could to an successful bug hunting
Thanks in advance!2Thank you, mate. My problems started after trying to mount partition. Something went very wrong and I lost access to data partition and phone entered into a boot loop. So, I had to recover via fastboot (wipe didn't worked) but since Xiaomi has not pushed fastboot packages for Android 9 yet, I had to perform a full restore with previous beta (9.4.25) that has some kind of incompatibility at partition level.
So, currently, I've a pretty Mi Mix 2 half bricked (I can boot, but UI fails constantly due to some problems in order to write in vendor partition). That's the problem when you are the first to test!
Good to see that xiaomi.eu has been released a new version. If I install this ROM I will be probably able to recover phone until Xiaomi launches official fastboot packages with Android 9 support....
Attached to that post you'll find a TWRP installable script that adds encryption to xiaomi.eu ROMs that are Android 8 based.
It may worth a shot if you have a backup in place that contains the system partition (because the script I've posted changes the partition decryption values).
I've successfully used this script for Android 8.0 based xiaomi.eu ROMs to preserve my encrypted volumes (xiaomi.eu did not support them out of the box).
UPDATE1
ATTENTION: Attachment removed because ist uses old folder/link layout - new !working! version will be posted after mirgation test (fresh, crypted install is possible - I'm testing a migration from unencrypted to encrypted this moment)
UPDATE2
Migration test was not successful :-/
Therefore backup all your Apps & Data with your preferred backup Tool within running Android and restore them after fresh install.
I'll write a short tutorial in a new post after restore test is completed1
