For those who are having a hard time flashing TWRP using a PC, I just wanna share it to you guys! I have tested this myself on my Mi-4c
Note: This will not might not work if you are using stable/dev rom version 6.14 or higher due to locked bootloader. Please unlock your bootloader first
Requirements:
Mi-4c device
Full Developer ROM pack for our phone ( make sure you install GApps too)
TWRP image (TWRP 2.8.7.1 with English and Chinese V2 & V3)
TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 Dev ROM (Most Stable)
Flashify App
**And of course, courage and common sense
Disclaimer: Don't blame me if you brick your device, do it at your own risk.
1. Download a developer ROM from the official download page: Click Here or use this Developer ROM [/B]Note: This method might not work if you are using dev rom version 6.14 or higher due to locked bootloader. Please unlock your bootloader first[/B]
2. Flash the Developer ROM from the updater app and install GApps of course. Now, you should have root access on your phone.
3. Download the flashable TWRP zip from the original thread or below - Original TWRP Thread --- Thanks to 油炸包子-
TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0 Dev ROM (Most stable especially for touch issues)
TWRP V2 Dev ROM Only
TWRP V3 Dev ROM or Stable
4. Open the TWRP .zip or .7z file you downloaded using an Archiver app or ES Explorer and you will find a recovery.img inside.
4.1 Extract the recovery.img to the root of your SDCard (you can rename it to anything you like just make sure the extension stays as .img)

5.2 Launch the Security app and provide root permission to Flashify.
6. After providing root permission to flashify, launch the app again and select Recovery image from the Flash tab, choose the extracted ".img" file that you have extracted to your SDCard then flash.
7. There should be a success "Flash complete" message then select "Reboot now" to reboot your phone.
Congratulations!! You should now have TWRP after reboot.
*****Access TWRP by powering the phone off, turn it back on by holding the power together with the volume up (+) button and it should take you to the TWRP screen if a few sec.*****
Want to update to TWRP V3? Follow the steps below:
Do this if you have the previous version (TWRP V2) installed, else, follow the steps above to get V3 directly.
Should you wish to update to the latest TWRP from the original thread: http://en.miui.com/thread-169401-1-1.html
1. Download the latest TWRP from your mobile: -
TWRP V3 Dev ROM or Stable

3. Save it to the root of your SDCard
4. Boot your phone to recovery (Power & Volume (+) Up

It shouldn't be like that, but that's how it is right now. I'm not sure if there's any fix available, but I guess an updated version of the recovery will be released soon, that has this problem fixed..
Yeah this method works I have done it and easy as drinkin beer

Same here. Tested and working. I am on Mokee rom now.
Thanks for the guide but I found something wierd happening. After succesfully flashing twrp and rebooting it goes in twrp when I restart after that and try to go in recovery with volume up +power it takes me to stock recovery? Any ideas??:/
So version 3 works without any touch problems?

I'm using the v3 linked in this thread and the touch problem still exists. I have to wait 2-3 minutes before it works.
I tested the 2.8.7.0 version from miui.com and touch screen worked immediately. I'm not sure if it was just lucky or not, because I only tested it once. Maybe worth trying it and see how it works?
It'd weird because the one I have some times freezes and some times doesn't

Just reflash TWRP then reboot to TWRP, it should ask you if you want to either use it as read only or allow modification, select allow modification. Hope that helps.
Yes with the modded version on xiaomi.eu the touch works!

Hi all,
I got the message about upgrading the OS to 5.0.
When I try to upgrade, It starts to download a file, and the the device is restarted.
Then, instead of automatically begin the installation, I get some menu (construced of several rectangle buttons).
One of them is "Install".
When I press it, it asks me to find a zip file.
What file and where is it???
Thanks, Tal.

Do you have a custom recovery? If so you will have to flash a stock recovery and install the file.
Thanks

I think you havr custom recovery, because there is no option in stock recovery for selecting a zip file. I also have to ask are you using stock rom and are you unrooted?
Well, I have this image, larger than in yours. At the top thre is a large arrow with several options inside it: power off, recovery mode, restart bootloader, and start
Also, the next info:
product name: hammerhead D820
Will the kernel version help here?

I know where you are. Thats the bootloader.
Thats when you power on holding the volume down button and power at the same time.
Use the volume buttons until the arrow says "recovery" then hit power. It should boot into whatever recovery you have.
Prob TWRP
Ok, so I have the "Team Win Recovery Project" 2.7.1.1
And I am rooted (checked with "Root Checker" app
I'll be happy if you can help, but anyway I sent them a message (hopefully they will answer sometime...)
Where did the ota download to do you know? If not then try to find the ota zip on these XDA forums. Then when you are at twrp main screen choose install zip, browse to where you downloaded the ota zip on your phone (check downloads folder) then choose it and swipe to install. Once that is done (it could take some time, be patient) then choose wipe cache or something I can't remember exactly what it says, after that's done reboot using the button on the screen. Don't manually reboot. You should be upgraded to lollipop now

I searched and did not find any relevant zip file. I even did not find ny file which is above 400M, as I remember that was the size of the download...
Maybe the OTA process do not download a zip file, but another type of a file??
Check the /cache folder using es file explorer not your computer
You might need root
Or just download the newest ota zip it's probably available in a thread here on XDA search for it

How do you not know this to start?
Follow this post it's the easiest guide I found.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
It's gonna wipe your phone clean so back up pics, files, music, etc first. If you want to root after then there's a guide on that to in XDA.
Don't use any toolkits etc that is probably how you ended up with twrp recovery and didn't even know it lol learn the proper commands and use only those commands

Thats TWRP, you need to put your phone fully back to stock to install 5.0 then re root and reflash TWRP back on.

You can't accept oa update if you are rooted with custom recovery. Your lucky you didn't brick your phone. Out of curiosity, how can you not know if you are rooted or have custom recovery.

Because Manu11 didn't update his thread about the toolkit. I decided to post this to help Mi 4i users that got into trouble with TWRP unable to flash dh.harald's CM12.1
FEATURES
-Root (MIUI only, CM users can enable Root in Developer Options) Working on MIUI7 (thanks to @ss.suryakant95 for testing this out)
-TWRP Recovery
-Stock Recovery (just in case)
-EFS (IMEI) Backup and Restore

DOWNLOAD
(Some users had problems unzipping this ZIP with WinRAR, consider using free alternatives such as 7-zip)
MAIN URL: Click here to download (Please use this download, but if in any case you can't extract, you may use the mirror I provided.)
MIRROR: Click here to download.
HOW-TO
1. Enable Developer Options (Tap MIUI version 7 times in About Phone), and then in Developer Options, enable USB debugging.
2. Have you downloaded the ZIP? No? Download it, now.
3. Extract the downloaded ZIP wherever you like, keep in mind that all files must be kept together.
4. Connect your phone to the PC.
5. Run the Start.bat file.
ATTENTION: Please do a ROOT (I'll assume you're still in MIUI) before you flash TWRP, or you may be brought back into stock recovery. (Thanks to @omerjerk for testing this)
---
UPDATE: This toolkit's TWRP is deprecated (download the newest version here), but if you don't want to hassle with downloading another fastboot driver, you can still download dh.harald's recovery .img file, and copy your downloaded recovery to the extracted toolkit folder, then change dh.harald's recovery filename into twrp.img (UNTESTED)
I'll repack this toolkit with dh.harald's newest TWRP whenever possible.
---
This toolkit is made by magdag, all credits goes to him.

I can't speak for magdag, the dev. So, this is literally the version that is usable for flashing TWRP.

Backup everything (all partitions) except the first in the list.
You may want to use the compression.
The backup should be somewhere between 3.5GB and 5.5GB depending on the options and the data.
You could install ROM Manager (from Koushik Dutta) from the Play Store.
Choose the TWRP as recovery and Unknown Device as device.
Then you can use this to backup with TWRP and it will choose the right options for you.

I've MiUi 6.6.10 on my device.
I used this toolkit to flash twrp but I'm not able to do so.
Whenever I select the 2 option, it flashes the recovery successfully. But, when I boot to recovery again using adb reboot recovery, I get the stock recovery and not twrp.
What I'm doing wrong ?
P.S. I haven't rooted the phone yet.

I have been in touch with him also
you are amazing.
wow, that was easy!
jrkuse what would we do without you !?
didn't realize changing the rom didn't affect the apps already installed?
what's the best rom to run? so many to choose from!
I updated with the zip and had to flash the bok3 kernel to get it to reboot.
I was lucky after waiting for the "reboot", the screen went blank for several minutes at this time I pressed the power button and was brought back to ss splash screen which is how I got back to recovery to flash kernel. Not sure what happen. I think it flashed OE1 ss kernel, before I tried the bok3.

When you flash it for the first time in recovery you still have to flash the kernel to boot back to rom then once you do that it will work. If it doesnt work you need to open install safestrap and manually install it
Thinking about flashing this but had a question. Is there a way to flash a different kernel than the bok3 kernel since it automatically flashes this kernel upon exiting safestrap? That's the only thing holding me back right now. Thanks for this.

Why you should be running bok3 firmware for everything
Easy peasy.
Thank you for this. Nearly 24 months since this phone's release, and we still have development. Not bad for a "locked down" device.

Its not a big deal, MOAR doesn't seem to be the best with BOK and I was considering going back to BOG5, but I'll probably stick with it and flash this. Thanks for the reply.

This Guide is outdated now..
It "ONLY" works on the initial One UI 2 update that started rolling out in March 2020
It has issues on the june patch. So "DO NOT" report bugs if you are on the june patch.
Use this at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage that may happen to your device.
Make sure to have the official firmware downloaded for your device in case anything goes wrong.
This will void your warranty
This will also trip the knox counter.

Can we use the TWRP 3.2.3-1 listed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1-galaxy-a7-2018-t3876798
You did not give a link to which TWRP version you used. So just asking.

thanks! work like a charm
I downloaded the Indian version and installed it on an a750 FN and it works ....
I will keep trying more things
good job
Delete
The Root works perfectly on the A750G/DS, the only thing that does not work properly is the TWRP, does not recognize the internal memory, only recognizes the SD card
PD... An Official Recovery query is only for version F and GN or also works in G/DS versions
how could I return my battery at the original state? Im having fast drain ..
Hi! I have followed the steps correctly and rooted my Samsung Galaxy A7 2018. However, whenI restart my device, it always got stuck on download mode. Any help I can get?

This happens when you don't flash magisk zip file, did u flash that after installing twrp? And after that did u install stock recovery? Try this, if it does not work, start from scratch again.

I did flash magisk after installing TWRP. I also installed the stock recovery. But still, it goes back to download mode when I restart my phone.

I guess I'll be staying at Android Pie for now. I think I'll be waiting for other alternatives that doesn't boot into download mode when restarted. Somehow, I thank you for sharing info on how to root Samsung Galaxy A7 2018.

This is a tutorial on how to manually update a red magic 7pro Chinese rom to Global rom. (tested-working)
This should work the other way around as well (global to chinese). (untested)
This should also work on other model red magic phones. (untested)
Software needed:
7zip - https://www.7-zip.org/
Step 1: download latest global rom from red magic
https://help.redmagic.gg/hc/en-us/articles/6360319907865-REDMAGIC-7-Pro
Step 2: Right click on the downloaded global rom and open with 7zip
after opening in 7zip you will have to edit the payload_properties.txt file
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
double click the payload_properties.txt file to open it in notepad
Now you will have to remove the _un
once you remove the _un you have to click file/save.
it should look like this after saving the file.
Now close the file and it will ask you to update the .zip file. click OK
Step 3: Now copy the updated .zip rom to the root drive of your phone.
Step 4: on your phone go into the settings/system update/
click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and click local update.
Select the new global rom you just put in your root directory and install.
Step 5: Do not click the reboot after the update is finished. Instead hold down power button and power off.
once the device is powered off hold the volume up and power to boot into recovery.
Wipe / factory data reset.
reboot to new rom.
Couple of notes:
if you do click the reboot after installing the rom, i think everything will be ok. you will just have to power off the phone and reboot into recovery (power button/volume up) as stated above to wipe.
I think this will work for any version of the rom (global/jap/chinese/uk) as long as you edit to the correct country code in the payload_properties.txt file
Thanks for the tutorial CUKIO34.
I will loose root after wiping data and factory reset ?

I do not know, I originally performed this modified rom update on a unrooted phone.
Hello !
Here a mirror link for the firmware (v414): https://mega.nz/file/Lpgl2DoB#rANR7S_k35xfgm4gr4mp1mJsG-wFdpggx6m124s4MuI
Thanks for this tutorial !
To those trying to Switch from CN Rom to Global ROM, please re-consider. I just tried it yesterday and it was successful but very unstable. my phone just bricked FYI
The flashing went smoothly but after wiping data, the device is bootlooping...
I've been using the global rom now for 10 days with no issues. Are you guys using method of pressing the power button + volume up to enter recovery to wipe?
I'm using the 3.14 USA global rom.
Someone posted a link to the Europe 4.14.

Me too., but after Wiping data, the phones doesn't boot anymore (bootloop). Do you know a way to restore it (adb sideload for instance) ?

I haven't tried adb yet.
Was your phone previously rooted?
Can you get to the recovery using the power/ volume up?

i have managed to reached recovery but because my phone is not rooted, there is no way to inject the Stock China ROM so i can flash the phone. if anyone has any ideas? TWRP doesnt have an img file for NX709J yet

once you reach recovery wipe data and factory reset. It should boot into the new rom if you loaded it correctly.
for my case it doesnt show wipe data and factory, it boots back to fastboot mode each time i reboot.
i ran the boot.img from cmd via fastboot already still no luck.
Let me know if i missed out any steps. my usb debugging is disabled and i cant inject any zip through ADB
My device had been bricked for one month after trying this tutorial. Fortunately I was able to bring it back to life. I just converted the Payload file of the CN Rom into .img files. Then I flashed my device in fastboot mode using the commands that I put in a .bat file. Feel free to DL the folder and try if you are in the same mess I used to be.https://mega.nz/file/tFQUzAzT#_SWNRdVyxIueOl__V4Jxh_P-3IKufw52LMalhTr1b3Q
