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

[ChildoftheKing]

I bought this device some days ago and I have the same problem with red/blue line. I tried many different twrp recoveries for this device and the only one which works is cofface_recovery_redmi4A_test. I also tried redwolf' s recovery after I read this thread, which also has this problem.

Try this? - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510950

I don't have the link but as another one that works has a name of twrp-rolex-vendor-v3.img

Thanks, this works also.
EDIT:
I found twrp-rolex-vendor-v3.img too, which also works fine, in 4pda.ru forum.

I could not locate it. Do you can share the link?

I think I found it on 4pda.ru. I must check again because I don' t use it. I found a way to use the other twrps which don't work. Using Carliv image kitchen I unpack both the non working twrp and the original recovery.img and then I just replace the file "recovery.image.kernel" in unpacked twrp with the one from the original recovery. After that I repack the twrp and then is working fine on my device. The only problem is that takes about 20 secs to boot, but I had this problem in all the working twrps I tried too.

EDIT:
the file is here, but I think you need to register before you can download, which is not so easy if you don't know russian.

From the TWRP page:

This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.

If you're on stock MIUI/using stock kernel, you might need to flash this first: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71508559&postcount=3

Touchscreen on TWRP doesn't work

I've been using stock MIUI till now, upgraded to the latest MIUI Global 10.3.1.0. I've just unlocked my device using the Mi Unlock Tool and flashed the latest TWRP (twrp-3.3.1-0-rolex).
While I am able to boot into TWRP, the touchscreen refuses to respond, so I am unable to flash anything. I am able to verify that this is not a fault of the touchscreen, since I am still able to boot into MIUI, and that works fine.
What could the issue be?

 

[Ayoub hd dx]

is it work with latest miui global 10.3.1.0

Edit: looks like the problem was not related to the /data partition.
Data partition unreadable was caused by QUOTA feature of ext4 which seems to be used in Android 9 Pie. I solved the problem by DD zeros into the partition, then formatting it manually to ext2, afterwards formatting to ext4 using TWRP. TWRP still does not show a screen. I installed PBRP again through fastboot. Everything fine now

But still: wiping or formatting DATA should *NOT* depend on TWRP able to mount it.

original post:

Hi
TWRP does not show a screen, only vertical bars.
Phone: Redmi 4A (rolex)
OS: PixelExperience 9
TWRP: 3.3.1

I had PBRP installed, but this messed up the data partition somehow and is not able to wipe or format the /data partition.
Since the PBRP logs are rather messed up (all the time trying to mount data) I went back to TWRP.
But TWRP shows only vertical bars.
I installed TWRP twice, once from PBRP through install image, then via fastboot as shown in this thread.
System still boots fine, /data is not encrypted.

any idea?

BTW: TWRP version shown in first post is outdated.

thanks
