[TWRP] MI 11 (Pro/Ultra) (mars/star)​

WARNING : I do not know who made this TWRP and I am NOT taking credit for it. It was posted on eu site and I'm just sharing since there was no thread for twrp here on xda.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before starting the process, the bootloader must be unlocked.
2. Install Xiaomi USB drivers.
3. Enable Usb debugging from Settings - Additional settings - developer options.
4. Download TWRP for Mi 11 (Pro/Ultra) , and put it in your fastboot folder.
5. Put your phone into fastboot mode.
6. Rename downloaded file to "twrp.img".
7. Do the following command. It will automatically boot into TWRP.

fastboot boot twrp.img

8. If you get a screen asking for a pin, press 2nd option
and change language to English then enter phone pin.
9. Change language to English (press the 6th option).
10. Go to "Advanced" and select "Onekey inject TWRP".
11. Swipe to inject the TWRP. It might take a few minutes, so don't worry.

Note

1) Don't change the boot slot, currently (Slot A) for most or your device will not boot at all.
2) For user experiencing decrypt issue, you can try one of the methods below to enable decryption:
a. Remove all your security eg. fingerprint, face unlock, pattern and leave ONLY pin. Reboot to twrp and try again.
b. Reflash twrp.
c. LAST RESORT! Format data and factory reset your device then reflash twrp.
3. For user experiencing decrypt issue but just want to flash latest build:
a. Boot to twrp > mount > mount usb storage then transfer your rom.zip to data/media/0
b. Now go to install and look for rom.zip under data/media/0. Profit!
4. The decrypt issue was a bug on the Chinese twrp, no update since may so don't ask for an ETA.

CHANGELOGS

07/18/21
1) Additional instruction from scratch.
2) Additional note for people having decrypt issue.

The official one hadn't been released yet and I like a challenge sometimes

Your device is not connected, hence the empty list after adb devices.
Did you enable USB debugging in Developer options?

Thx It's ok,I got it after a few attempts

The language on twrp still opens on Chinese and it needs changed to English each time but apart from that it seems to work fine!

Thanks, it works for me.
But each time i boot on TWRP, go back to chinesse language.

Can we do backup ? (and what can we backup) in case of something wrong in the future

The recovery is fully functional as far as I can tell...

I did a complete backup successfully but I haven't tried to restore it yet

You click on everything ?

Hi,
after a long day of learning the hard way (got stuck in Fastboot Loop) I am now on stable EU 12.5.7 (MI11 Ultra, EU phone). So far so good, but I was wondering, how can I make TWRP stuck to the phone, meaning, when I push the power button to have an option like: Boot into TWRP. Is that possible or is there a "click this button with this... trick"?

ATM, I can only get TWRP to work, when I enable it via PC, which is not good.

I am asking, because I have an old Oneplus 6, which has this option. TWRP is installed and I can boot directly to it, if I want to.

Can you please help me out? Is there a trick or am I doing something wrong?

Greetings from Germany

I believe you are on custom EU rom right? Just reboot into recovery, custom eu rom injects twrp as standard recovery

 

[placebo1978]

Hi, yes I am and I did that also. But still can't boot into TWRP from within the phone. Is there a trick after the injection?
