I used the K30 TWRP from https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/twrp.53906/page-8#post-528914 to fastboot boot to TWRP and dump stock boot, recovery and misc (using e.g. `dd=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/tmp/boot.img`). Then I patched the boot.img with Magisk Manager Canary. :good:

Any idea why that TWRP recovery installer .bat overwrites the misc partition? Temp booting the .img directly with fastboot boot seemed to work fine without their patched misc, so I'm sticking with that for now.

Again, be sure to fastboot boot recovery and then dump your ROM's misc first if you plan on flashing the recovery using that batch script, since you might need to flash it back along with the ROM's recovery for OTAs to succeed.

I can understand rooting here but is twrp installed permanently here? I mean to flash any rom do we always need fastboot command to boot twrp or its staying always and working normally??

Also here is the latest Magisk Canary (20308) patched stock boot.img to simplify rooting for those just getting started on this device. Simply fastboot flash boot it.. ;):cowboy:


Ok so the question is can we reboot to recovery normally or we need to manually type fastboot command to boot to recovery..

I am still searching for twrp , which can normally appears while rebooting to recovery

LR.Team twrp-3.4.0-0209 will be installed by default when you install Eu rom.

I can reboot into recovery as normal (by pressing "vol up" & "power" button). To install root, I can simply go to "Advanced" -> "Install Root" or by using boot.img method. One thing which I can't do is deleting (or changing file name) to system file to remove some of the unwanted app.

    It's a none working TWRP ripped from a dev who was working on it. don't even test it guys. Devs at .eu made one that actually works.
