[RECOVERY][lavender][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP touch recovery for Redmi Note 7

[thelazyindian]

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.

Note:

• Due to a bug in android pie, the recovery may ask for pattern if you have set PIN/password for encryption (and vice-versa). Unfortunately, to fix this you need to format your data partition and ask the developer of ROM to include this commit.
  
• When you flash twrp for the first time in MIUI you need to goto Wipe > Format Data otherwise you won't be able to boot to system as it will ask for password.
  
• GAPPS FIX: In TWRP, goto Mount > system_root and try reflashing.

FAQ:
How is it different from other TWRPs available for lavender ?
This build uses standalone decryption which is better than the recoveries using vold decrypt as vold decrypt will fail if system ROM is corrupt or wiped

This is working with Global Variant ? greatz ...

 

[jimgsey]

It works well. Just one detail. You can not see the clock, because it appears in the same place as the camera.
Thank you for everything.

Just 5 more days left to test this ?

Can you install official miui ota zip after installing twrp and magisk?
Would it brick the device?

 

[Ashnetn]

Nice built.. I think official build arrives soon

 

[Diniodoc]

strange behaviour: TWRP is asking for pattern decryption when PIN is used and vice versa.

Decryption via command line works fine.

It won't brick the device, but no you can't install them.
The update will just fail and reboot you back into MIUI. Everything working as usual.

If you want TWRP/Magisk installed and get updates then you'll have to manually download the 'Recovery ROM' to the update you want to update to. Then flash it in TWRP like you would a custom ROM.
You'll want to reinstall Magisk after you flash the Recovery ROM to get root back.

TWRP remains intact

I did not fix it, but you can decrypt your /data via terminal in TWRP : "twrp decrypt PIN"

But I didn't understand you, are you still facing that problem or did you solved it by reflashing MIUI?

Due to a bug in android pie, the recovery may ask for pattern if you have set PIN/password for encryption (and vice-versa). Unfortunately, to fix this you need to format your data partition and ask the developer of ROM to include this commit.

Do I need to format or wipe data?

Not if you're just manually updating by flashing the Recovery ROM. Think of it as a dirty flash a custom ROM. Just install it on top of your current build and then flash your Magisk ZIP and any other mods that may have been overwritten (due to needing to patch the boot.img

Why did you even flash gapps?

Good to know THX. I'm still using original MIUI so I think there is nothing to do than waiting or better use a custom ROM

One more question. Does anybody know if there is the possibility to use a separate password for encryption different from the lock screen? This was possible in earlier versions of Android.
