Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It's a fully touch driven user interface; no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

[SIZE=+1]Requirements[/SIZE]
- Xiaomi Mi 9 SE (of course)
- Unlocked bootloader
- Some knowledge on how to deal with your device... and patience.
[SIZE=+1]Flashing Instructions[/SIZE]
I assume you've done (very) basic steps on preparing to flash your device.
- Reboot device to bootloader. If device is powered off, press and hold Power + Volume Down button until tinkering Mi Bunny with "FASTBOOT" text appears.
- Optional: Flash stock vbmeta with the following command (attached if needed):
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
- Under same directory as TWRP image and ADB/Fastboot executables (if ever required), type this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.x.x-y-grus-YYmmdd.img
Where x, y, and YYmmdd are version of TWRP you're going to flash.
- IMPORTANT: After flashing, immediately press and hold Power + Volume Up for about 10 seconds to reboot to recovery.
- Swipe the option to allow modifications. This will prevent stock ROM from replacing recovery, however be aware that you might need to reflash stock vbmeta with disabled verity after that to be able to boot stock ROM!
[SIZE=+1]Special Thanks[/SIZE]
- Dees_Troy and everyone behind TWRP
- Everyone on Mi 9 SE community
