[Recovery][TWRP][OFFICIAL] for Mi A2 (jasmine_sprout)

[Manish4586]

Team's Win Recovery Project 3.x, or TWRP3.x 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.

Another recovery ?

Hi Folk,

We got 4 available recovery as far as now but 100% get buggy for now.
I see many thanks : do someone have tested this Recovery for Mi A2 ? Do it can flash LOS on both slot A and B without failed ?

Thank for your enlightenment.

Hi Folk,

I see many thanks : do someone have tested this....

I have backed up and restored with this. It works well. Have not flashed any roms though.

I updated my phone to the November beta and could not boot into this twrp as it did not recognize the device was encrypted. The temporary twrp from TingyiChen did work however. Had to wipe and install the October version to get everything back to normal. Will wait for the official release to test some more. Just a heads up to be aware that the next os update might cause some complications.

@Manish4586
I can confirm the latest security update breaks encryption detection by this twrp version. I just updated to the official ota for November and twrp loads but does not ask for the decryption pattern and thus the drive is not decrypted.

And, it seems in a near future that TWRP will be official to Mi A2 - https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_xiaomi_jasmine

If you take a look at this repo, it's forked from the one that is the unofficial and linked on this thread.

It works well but It has encryption issue. I have a fix for this issue:

-find /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom file and replace line 10:
"

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system     /                     ext4   ro,barrier=1,discard                             wait,resize,slotselect,verify

"
-reboot fastboot mode and run it:
"fastboot -w"

This format userdata and others partitions
Totally useless.
Same of format data using TWRP
