I'm very greatfull for your quick reply ! Thanks 😊
The device is too a Poco f3, sorry.. This doesn't need to flash magisk for twrp to stick (I had another one I've broken)
But I don't understand what's the advantage to first flash a fastboot rom..? As you say to flash twrp would loose root and vice versa... (I've read the thread you're talking about ofox)
So I wanted to go trough +- the way I mentionned, as A13 as well as ofox 'seems' to work (but I'm carefull with that twrp on stock MIUI A12, and I never used ofox..)
So you do think it's a bad idea ?? The rom I want to flash is crdroid.
I'm more lost now 😉...

Thanks again !

If the Cdroid is A13 you will need:
1 / flash the correct Firmware, TWRP A13, (sometimes it does not work, you have to flash the complete ROM) Miflash.
2/Twrp/format data type yes/reboot Twrp
3/ then flash the rom following the instructions of the OP
4/root(if necessary).

Ok so you do think Miflash is mandatory..
The CR9 thread tells to flash FW and rom via twrp. Format data, reboot recovery. Then flash what's needed (after first booting system). But nobody to tell wich recovery to use..

I need my phone, maybe beter I'll flash CR8 (A12) at this time.. (it was the rom I had on my previous F3..) ?

Again thanks you !

I'm not saying Miflash is mandatory but sometimes firmware flash with Twrp, despite without any error, doesn't work.
With Miflash you will be sure to be on the right firmware (without wasting time).
A12 or A13 same principle.
Could you post the link of the Cdroid?

Thanks you very much for ur help ! I've got some hours yet to decide.. You're as friendly as the forum was ..long ago 😉
The reason for blackscreen is because you need to do this before booting twrp
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
Hold volume down , power on device , connect to pc and issue the command above , when it reboots THEN you can do'
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img

Just holding volume down and turning on the device won't work, it doesn't enter bootloader properly... ( Alternative is to hold volume up , enter recovery and in there find the option "Reboot to bootloader" )

    Installing TWRP and root does not erase your data.
    Remove security from the lock screen. (decryption).Normally the latest TWRP decrypts the data.
    Install Platform tools ,put the TWRP in the folder and run the commands from the folder.
    TWRP SKK, Use A12 if your system is in A12/A13 if system A13.
    Rename it to twrp.img
    CMD
    fastboot boot twrp.img
    Powershell
    ./fastboot boot twrp.img
    Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current TWRP"
    If offered, both slots.

    I'm using the latest one I could find on the TWRP website for my device. Not aware If it supports Android 13 though as it isn't mentioned on the website. Just asking my prev question, will doing the format data from TWRP just do a factory reset, or do I lose the ROM and will have to install a custom ROM?

    second question I forgot to ask in my prev post, after i do the format data and put the Magisk APK and twrp img file again on my device, will my device stay decrypted as I formatted the data, or will the problem persist?

    sorry If i sound dumb 😬
    Use this TWRP(officiel).
    twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img

    Hi,

    @NOSS8 , I'd like to ask : I've only some hours to wait to unlock the BL. But one question, as it's yet the stock rom (FW V13.0.11.0, A12), wich twrp should I use ? I want to install a A13 rom (that supposes FW V 14.xxx !)
    So :
    - fastboot boot twrp (but wich one ?? A12 or 13 ?? ; skkk ? Or ?) (+ "flash current twrp" OR "install it in ramdisk"?)
    - reboot recovery
    - flash FW V14.xxx
    - flash rom
    - format data
    - reboot system
    - flash magisk (last version ? Seems to be 'big' changes ?)
    - flash what I need (V4A, DFE (??), ....)

    What do you think ?
    Thanks a lot ! Main question is about what version of twrp.. Help will be very appreciated ! 😉
    Instead, use Miflash with a Fastboot rom, you can extract the boot img for root.(don't re lock the bootloader).
    You can root without TWRP, but according to this thread, if you root you lose the TWRP and vice versa, I don't know if this is still relevant.(I don't have this device).
    If you need ,install the TWRP A13 after flashing the A13.

    See this thread for instructions

    ***Note:
    Use the TWRP SKKK.
    Advantage with Miflash, the Fastboot roms contain all the imgs.

    omitted link:rolleyes:

    A12 or A13 same principle.
