[Official][TWRP Recovery][3.2.1]TWRP 3.2.1.0 For Xiaomi Redmi 4X (SANTONI)

[subhi19]

I'm new to this. Will this work with my new redmi 4x with stock ROM? the only thing I did so far was unlocking the bootloader.

Yes u can, but need flash lazyflasher.

It does not work. I tried it. I don't want a custom ROM. The phone goes into a bootloop.

Flash lazyflasher after install twrp.

1. Can I flash lazy flasher BEFORE flashing TWRP ?
2. Do I need flash lazy flasher after every OTA ?
3. Does cofface TWRP need lazy flasher too ?
4. What do I need todo after flashing stock recovery over TWRP ?

1. No, u must flash lazyflasher after flash twrp
2. For miui OTA ? Yes
3. No, u can use disable dm-verity on settings menu, in official twrp here not presented.
4. Just flash lazyflasher if u use official twrp, if u use cofface twrp use disable dm-verity instead.

Thanks.
1. Why I can't do this before flash it ?

5. Do I also need to reflash TWRP itself (cofface or not) after every MIUI OTA ?

1. Because verify boot is checking system and partition is modified or official.
If detected official, ex : normal recovery, system, boot, etc. The boot will successfully.
If modified, ex : twrp recovery and etc. Boot will be unsuccessfully.
5. No, if update from OTA.
If you flash update rom via fastboot you need flash twrp again.

doesnt have treble support

1. What about the case when we only boot into TWRP, change some file in system, like build.prop and flash lazy flasher without flashing TWRP itself ?
5. Will I need to reflash TWRP after coming in summer MIUI 10 GLOBAL update ?

1. Yes u can
5. Twrp is not support miui OTA, u must download update rom manually from miui website and install manually via twrp, and no need to reflash twrp again, u must install again twrp if u flash update rom via fastboot only
If u need support miui OTA, try redwolf twrp.

If u need support miui OTA, try redwolf twrp.

5. So if I go with Cofface 3.0.3 version I will need to disable dm-verify in its options first plus after every OTA notification I will need download full ROM and flash it via Cofface itself and not from the MIUI interface ?

Yeah, after install twrp u must disable dm-verify first before boot.
And update manually via twrp not automatic from miui updater.

There is option in the MIUI updater to update manually too from the downloaded ROM on the sd card. Will it work if it will be full rom or it can be ONLY update from the TWRP itself and nothing else?

If I will face bootloop someday, can I easily enter TWRP in this case to disable dm-verify again ?

I've been reading the past replies on this subject and wondering if having SuperSU installed changes anything?

TIA

Dont use miui updater if u use official twrp not redwolf.
Download full rom from miui web and install manually via twrp.
Bootloop is not fixed by disable dm-verify always, u must see your problem first.

Yeah, if already installed supersu or magisk no need to disable dm-verify or lazyflasher because supersu and magisk is already patched disable dm-veritf to your boot image.

Great, thank you.

So should I therefore only update via TWRP?

Yes of course if u use miui.
After flash update dont forget to install supersu or magisk again.

Posting the steps to install the recovery, so everyone knows.
1-Connect your phone into fastboot mode using pc.
2-Open adb tools command prompt.
3-Type fasboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img is the twrp you just downloaded, should be in the same folder from where you opened the command prompt).
4-Type fastboot boot recovery.img
5-TWRP will open. It might not detect your internal storage and ask for a password.
6-Back your storage up.
7-Then, go to wipe and wipe everything. After this your storage will be empty.
8-Since there's no os, install a custom rom and reboot.
Cheers

Yes u can, but need flash lazyflasher.

Maybe a misunderstanding here? I have a new Redmi4x global, so I guess it still has the stock rom installed. I want to have TWRP (bootloader is already unlocked by xiaomi account) and also I want to have an android rom, probably resurrection rmx or lineage.

Do I really need lazyflasher or can I follow the steps by xzy99 above?

I'm really lost and could use a step to step manual.

Is it compatible for treble

 

[criticallife]

is there a twrp build for treble ?

 

[newbie_or_not_newbie]

Hi

What should we do if we have a custom treble-recovery & a custom treble-rom, and want to come back to official twrp & non-treble rom ?

If I flash official twrp, then wipe factory, and finally flash non-treble rom, is it ok ?

Thanks for answer !

 

[lejkabasz]

Hi,

Is there any solution to avoid data formation in twrp after stock Miui uptade?
There is an uptade package which swap recovery to a stock one.
After flash twrp via fastboot i need to make a data formation to get recovery able to mount internal storage. This operation wipes out my ROM which i dont want to.
Any clue?
