Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its 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.

Bro is it working on stock android 11?

 

[Chends888]

Oh, and I forgot... if you're still on Android 10 the TWRP I recommend, where everything works as it should, is the one built by @mauronofrio.

You can get it HERE.

This TWRP can be booted on inactive slot while on Android 11 as well, it just can't be permanently installed...don't know why...


Cheers!

This was the only TWRP I was able to install (twrp-3.3.1-17-laurel_sprout-Q-mauronofrio.img), I tried all from TWRP official website (https://dl.twrp.me/laurel_sprout/) and none worked, when I flash them and tried to reboot, using fastboot reboot (holding volume up), or fastboot reboot recovery, it just went straight to fastboot again.

Thanks!

I tried temp booting into TWRP but it failed. Any ideas? I'm not sure why boot is considered an unknown command.

C:\Android\Mi A3>fastboot boot twrp-3.6.2_9-0-laurel_sprout.img
Sending 'boot.img' (41456 KB) OKAY [ 1.084s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')

Because it is an unknown command. You have to install TWRP to the boot partition not boot the twrp.img

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

Only then can you boot into twrp by rebooting and holding vol up

Fastboot flash boot xxx.img has the potential to brick the phone in my experience. Besides, Fastboot boot xxx.img is the recommended procedure on the TWRP.me website: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimia3.html

I have temp booted into other versions of TWRP on other phones before (Poco X3, Xiaomi Mi A1, Xiaomi Redmi S2) and see no reason for this to fail on an Android One phone.
