[RECOVERY] [OFFICIAL] TWRP 3.2.1-0 for Xiaomi Redmi 4A [rolex] [20171210]

[BryanByteZ]

I had to format the USB key as exFAT, and it worked in cofface's version without any problem.

MIUI seems to overwrite TWRP and flash its own recovery again. I recall that I had the same issue at first with my Note 4X (mido), but I don't remember how I made TWRP persistent. For now, I don't want to flash a custom ROM on my dad's rolex, but I'd like TWRP to remain on the device. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using it and twrp persists. I have just flashed on fastboot.

Flash lazyflasher to disable dm-verity & forced encryption on MIUI

I need to flash this after flashing TWRP right? And then I can proceed to flash the rom of my choice correct? It's my first time flashing on a Xiaomi device...

You need to flash this after installed TWRP IF YOU HAVE MIUI otherwise you're good to go.

Hey Guys,

I successfully flashed TWRP via fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-rolex.img
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'recovery' (29100 KB)...
OKAY [  0.919s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [  0.377s]
finished. total time: 1.332s

But how can I access TWRP from boot. I tried Volume-UP+Power but this only leeds me to a chinese pre-installed recovery:

I can load TWRP using this:

fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-rolex.img

But with this method you only "hot-load" the image. If only this is working, then flashing the image is totally useless, because it also loads without flashing before.

Choose you recovery from menu. Phone is boot into TWRP.
This is chinese service mode.

You mean I should choose recovery from the screen/menu above? If yes, I already tried that. It leads me to another pre-installed recovery menu, but not TWRP.

I had the same issue. Used a newer version of ADB from here:

Never faced that issue. No idea why you guys are having that issue.

Where did you download TWRP from?

i downloaded from the link in this post. Although I noticed one thing, this happens only when the hardware keys at the bottom are touched. once a vibration is trigerred from somewhere else(like the keyboard) it stops.
I was on the latest 8.5 miui rom. I also downgraded and tried flashing twrp. I face the same issue. Even after the rom boots up.

You should wait for response from OP as he is the maintainer.

I think he will ask for TWRP log.
