Don't know, English for sure
German is important to me. It should not be inclusive, but only English, Russian and Chinese.I thought you could confirm that.

Does this TWRP work problem-free with xiaomi.eu? Will the bootloader be unlocked?

I've used this recovery only with xiaomi.eu roms.
And to install a custom recovery, you have to unlock the bootloader...

Do I have to disable some of the features that are enabled by default ?

Unlocked bootloader and flashed this recovery and Xiaomi.eu release 9.1.17 but it's stuck at first boot.

*edit*
Nevermind - when coming from locked bootloader & global beta one has to FORMAT /data partition, not just wipe.
Working now! :)

I can confirm it doesn't support ota's updates
But i can flash the whole rom and then flash magisk and every thing will work fine without losing any data

Anyone else having trouble after restoring a backup?

Launcher doesn't work, just getting an empty desktop.
Task manager and notification bar works.
Settings \ home screen & recent won't open and after trying the settings page just stops working completely.

Happend on both restores of 9.1.17 and 9.1.24 xiaomi.eu weekly with nova launcher installed.

Only way to get my backups to work was re-flashing the ROM after restoring the backup.



Do I need go change some setting in pitch black recovery?
Or is backing up data, system and boot not enough?

Is this recovery actually working for anyone with a recent miui Rom ?
Can you restore a backup and it'll run without issues???

*edit*
Turns out no, it isn't. It's broken. Much like TWRP-3.2.3.1-FireDance-Edition.

The only TWRP version that fully works with current xiaomi.eu ROMS - including twrp backups/restore - seems to be 1208.


DON'T USE THIS RECOVERY FOR BACKUPS IF USING A RECENT MIUI/XIAOMI.EU RELEASE

    Cool I using it in this time, full OTA is ok lets see if will be incremental OTA in friday installed too

    Ok!! Good to know!
    Btw if a new version will come out, i'll try to keep this recovery updated.

    Can you look into why there is no haptic feedback in the multirom recovery.
    Thanks

    I can try...
    1
    Could you give a bit more of info about this?
    It just checks ARB and doesn't let you install if it is below the current ARB number?

    Sorry i'm not the developer of this recovery, i've just done a simple porting to MI 8 Dipper.
    Btw, this is the developer's changelog:
    Code:
    Info
    PitchBlack v2.9.0
    Based on TWRP 3.2.3
    
    Update Log :
    - Initial NON-ARB (Support update and downgrade miui rom ARB 4  ARB 3, ARB 3  ARB 4. Without delete firmware, baseband and etc-update the follow firmware)
    - AutoReboot Fixed
    - Update DM Verity Logic
    - Update fstab flags
    - Update magisk
    - Update unroot magisk
    - Update noverity
    - Etc
    and this it the option to enable to avoid ARB:
    40a6cf48-00a3-47b6-9f6c-d55294c2bac5.jpg


    Btw i've not tested this, because my MI 8 dosn't have ARB (i've always been on xiaomi.eu or Custom rom, never on official MIUI).
