N00b tutorial: Flashing EOS3 to MZ604 Xoom (Wifi)

Hi all.
A few days ago I entered the Xoom forum asking about how to modify an "unaltered" Spanish/European Xoom (Wifi Only, MZ604) running stock Android Honeycomb (3.2) and flash a custom ROM with Android 4.1.1 (JellyBean), so that I don't have to wait Motorola to release the updates (still in Honeycomb in Europe, while in US they're enjoying JB), and to enjoy the extras that custom ROMs offer (root, overclocking, etc).
Xda users "wesamothman" and "Cubanluke88" answered quickly to my question and this allowed me to unlock my Xoom bootloader, install TWRP Recovery and flash EOS3 ROM (JellyBean for Xoom from TEAM EOS). The results are awesome; the change from Honeycomb to Jellybean, plus the totally stable overclocking at 1.2 and even 1.4 Ghz is worth the fact that you void the Xoom warranty by doing this procedure. It's like having a brand new tablet.
As I found some problems/mistakes in the procedure I was given, I've created a new "Guide for Noobs" (based on wesamothman's) so that anybody can reproduce the same steps and convert an European Xoom (Wifi Model, MZ604) into a modern EOS3-powered Xoom.
NOTE: I initially wrote this tutorial using the EOS-RECOVERY-6.IMG as the CWM Recovery software to install in the Recovery Partition. The recommended recovery software now is TWRP so I've updated the tutorial replacing the download links and filename.img to flash. The procedure remains the same, although I really tested and executed it with eos-recovery-6, not with TWRP. Anyway, it is supposed to be flashed and work the same way than I initially described it.
NOTE THAT THIS PROCEDURE IS FOR EOS3 - (EOS NIGHTLY <= v155).
EOS4 (nightly >= v156) requires a slightly different procedure!!!
Please, remember that by unlocking the bootloader (and flashing non official software) you're voiding the device warranty and that I'm not responsible of any damage that your device can suffer. I'm just explaining how I did the unlocking+flashing to convert my SLOW XOOM in a fully working JellyBean system. Remember also that this procedure is for WIFI ONLY Xooms. 3g xooms need a different rom/procedure.
So, sumarizing, that's what we are going to do:
a.- Unlock the "bootloader" of the Motorola Xoom so that we can "install" custom software in both the "recovery" and the "data" partitions. Please notice that by unlocking the bootloader you void the device warranty.
b.- Flash TWRP software into the recovery partition, (I was flashing EOS-Recovery-v6 software initially but now is deprecated and TWRP must be used) so that we can launch this software pressing a combination of keys during power-on. This software will allow us to make full backup/restore of the device memory, and to install any ROM (EOS2, EOS3, cyanogenmod, EDGE, etc) in the system. Thanks to this recovery we are safe against problems in the O.S. (even if we break it), because we can always recover from backup or flash a new ROM (including the "stock" ROM, I mean, the ROM shipped oficially with the device) and solve the situation.
c.- Once recovery is installed, do a NANDROID backup of the NAND of our device, to have a copy of the "stock" system.
d.- From Recovery, flash the desired ROM (EOS3 in my case) and the Google Apps applications (they can't be included inside the ROM for legal reasons, so they are flashed separately) to the "data" particion.
e.- Restart and enjoy our new system (you can also made another NANDROID backup to save this "working point" for the future).
Steps a). and b). need a working computer with Linux, Windows or Mac. After doing b).- you can do everything from the Xoom itself and you don't need the computer anymore. After doing b)., you'll be able to download ROM images directly under your Xoom in the uSD card and reflash any new ROM directly rebooting the tablet into recovery-mode.
Steps a) and b) can be done from Linux, Windows and Mac. Although I have Linux in my laptop, I found that almost all the tutorials in Internet explain the procedure under Windows so I installed temporary a Windows system to do the "PC dependant" steps, because I didn't want to experiment with the "risky" actions in both steps.
So, let's start with the "PC dependant" actions, which includes steps a). and b).
I'll try to update the thread with screenshots in the future, as I didn't take photos/screenshots of the procedure, I'll check images.google.com to find something that fits the text, and add the later to the tutorial if they are really needed.
PART 1 .- HOW TO INSTALL TWRP RECOVERY:
Here we are going to unlock our Xoom and install a custom recovery software into the recovery partition. The recovery software is launched when you start your Xoom in recovery mode, and this is achieved by pushing Power, VolUP and VolDown key combinations when you power-on the tablet (we'll see how later).
So we'll replace the original "recovery" software by a custom one that allows us to flash NON OFFICIAL software to the data partition.
To do that, first we have to download all the required software in the Xoom enternal uSD card and prepare our PC system to recognize and work with the Xoom. We have to download:
Get the Motorola USB drivers for your system: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/ . This step is only needed under Windows, so that the Windows System recognizes the Xoom and the Android SDK binaries (adb and fastboot) can send data to the tablet. Check that you're downloading the right drivers (32 or 64 bits) for your 32 or 64 bits System, and install them. If the Android SDK in your Linux system can recognize the Xoom, you're ready to use Linux also to do the following steps.
Download and Install in your PC the lastest JavaSE JDK from Oracle's website: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
Download and install the Android SDK for your system: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html .
Download the EOS v155 ROM and GoogleAPPS for that version. My final choose was EOS3 ROM Wingray (Jellybean for Xoom), and installed v155 from the nightly compilations (which is the latest nightly in Android 4.1, being v156+ Android 4.2). "Nightly" means that as the software is still not "final version" (it's still in development) a new version is released almost everyday, correcting bugs or adding new features. I personally didn't found any bug in v155 but you can check the EOS3 thread in XDA to check that the latest version has no bugs reported by people in that thread.
ROM: http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/nightlies/wingray/ (as of date September-2012 - I recommend v141 )
GAPPS: Latest: http://teameos.org/gapps/wingray (I used http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/gapps/gapps-jb-20120802-eos-signed.zip for v155).
EOS3 THREAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764751
And the most important, download TWRP the "recovery software" that will allow you to work without the need of the PC (I was using Team Eos Recovery 6 initially, but now is deprecated and TWRP must be used):
Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, (TWRP): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782235
You should download the IMG file (example: R.A.H.v3_TWRPv2.5.0.img). Check that the size of the downloaded file matches the size that is shown in the above link. This is the most important file because it will allow to install the recovery system and it's CRITICAL that the file is not corrupted..
Steps:
a.- Install in your PC the Android SDK, open Windows' cmd, enter the android-sdk folder and run:
Code:
tools\android.bat update sdk
Now select "Android SDK Tools", "Android SDK platform-tools", and Extras/"Google USB Driver". Click on "Install packages".
This will download and install the packages needed so that we can access the Xoom from the PC for "flashing" data purposes; mainly "adb" and "fastboot". Adb allows us to work with the xoom started in the Android System, and fastboot allows us to work with the xoom started in fastboot mode, which is the mode we'll use to "flash" the recovery software.
b.- Enable USB debugging in the XOOM (in settings, development), so that we can use adb with the tablet.
c.- Install the Motorola USB drivers for your laptop (32 or 64 bits, check it in the Windows system properties).
d.- Plug the Xoom to your PC.
e.- Execute cmd and enter the android-sdk/platform-tools folder.
Run "adb devices". You should see that the system identifies your Xoom with a long numbers+letters string. If you get an empty "List of devices attached", then you must enter the control-panel -> devices and "Fix problem with device" over the MZ60x device, so that the system can bind the right USB drivers we installed to that concrete device.
After a While, Windows will fix it and re-executing "adb devices" will show a message like:
Code:
List of devices attached
037887sda897xz device
(the digits string will vary according to your device)
Now, with your xoom working under the Android OS, do:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
With the above, you'll enter fastboot mode without needing to press any key in the startup. Fastboot mode is a special bootmode in the xoom that allows the PC to send data to the Xoom and "write" to Recovery and Data partitions. You can also enter that mode starting the Xoom with "Power+Volume Up" pressed simultaneously.
Now your Xoom will show the Motorola logo and the words "Fastboot protocol...". If you need to stop now for any reason, you can abandon this mode safely and reboot the tablet with "Power+VolUP+VolDown" for a few seconds.

}
(Photo: fastboot mode, taken from google images)
But let's continue.... If you now do:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should get a string like
Code:
List of devices attached
037887sda897xz fastboot
If you don't see that string (and you see and error about device not found), you have to "fix/repair" the usb drivers again in the Windows ControlPanel / Devices. Now you'll see a "FASTBOOT" device instead of the MZ60x you repaired before (that's why we have to repair/fix again the device, because Windows see it as a different device while in fastboot mode).
After repairing it, unplug and plug the USB cable (still in fastboot mode) and repeat the command:
Code:
fastboot devices
Now it will work and you'll see the device recognized by "fastboot".
Issue the following command to unlock the Xoom (you'll void the warranty). If you don't unlock the xoom, data and recovery partitions will be "read only" and you can't send the "new software" to them.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Follow the Xoom's onscreen instructions to unlock the bootloader. You have to use VolDown to move through options and VolUP to accept an option. The device will ask you twice if you are sure that you want to unlock the device and void the warranty, and then it will make a "factory reset" of the O.S. .
The xoom will reboot and your old android OS will show, but now with a factory reset. Select language, time, etc. Enable again "USB debugging" and execute in the PC:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(to start again the tablet in fastboot mode)
Now copy the recovery file (the name may vary, with something like R.A.H.v3_TWRPv2.5.0.img) to the android-sdk/platform-tools/ folder with name "recovery.img" and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You will see something like:
Code:
C:\Users\sromero\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (XXXXX KB)...
OKAY [ 0.499s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.014s]
finished. total time: 1.529s
Check in the xoom's screen that the file was correctly written and execute:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Now disconnect the USB cable and enter recovery mode with:
- When the Motorola logo appears, tap Volume Down (not press, tap) repeteadly until "Android Recovery" is displayed in the screen.
- In this moment, pressing Volume Up will send you to Recovery Mode.
- If you press by mistake again Volume Down, you'll enter DRS mode. You can leave it with VolUP+VolDown+Power and try again (Xoom is powered off).
And you'll start the TWRP Recovery recovery system. If you see the standard Android recovery system instead of TWRP recovery, you can repeat the above "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". You don't have to unlock the bootloader again, just flash the recovery software and reboot again in recovery mode with "fastboot reboot" and "adb reboot recovery".
(Photo: my Xoom in EOS6 recovery mode, TWRP is different, with better controls and more features )
You can start recovery mode also manually by powering on the Xoom and when the motorola logo appears, wait 3 seconds and press VolUp.
Now, you have your device unlocked and recovery installed. Now, you are SAFE because you can do nandroid backups and restores and can put any ROM in your system and go back with a backup or flash another different rom.
PART 2 .- HOW TO USE TWRP RECOVERY
How to enter in recovery mode:
A.- Manually:
- Turn Xoom off.
- Press Power to turn Xoom on.
- When the Motorola logo appears, tap Volume Down (not press, tap) repeteadly until "Android Recovery" is displayed in the screen.
- In this moment, pressing Volume Up will send you to Recovery Mode.
- If you press by mistake again Volume Down, you'll enter DRS mode. You can leave it with VolUP+VolDown+Power and try again (Xoom is powered off).
b.- From "adb" in a PC system with Android running on the tablet connected to that PC:
Executing "adb reboot recovery"
c.- With a custom ROM, selecting "reboot" will ask you if you want a normal reboot or a recovery-reboot.
How to use recovery mode:
Use the Volume Up and Volume Down keys to move between options and Power button to select an Option:
Code:
Up -> VolumeUp button
Down -> VolumeDown button
Select -> POWER button
Available options for a basic CWM / recovery are:
Reboot system now -> exit Recovery mode.
install zip from sdcard -> allows to install ZIPs to data partitions such as ROMs.
wipe data/factory reset -> delete all the contents in the data partition (needed before flashing a ROM)
wipe cache partition -> delete cache partition.
backup and restore -> allows doing "nandroid" backups and restore of our system (FULL MEMORY BACKUPS).
mounts and storage -> allows to mount aditional media to save/read data.
advanced -> extra options.
(Photo: Nandroid backup)
NOTE: TWRP is newer than the OLD EOS-recovery-6, the above capture and options may differ.
PART 3 .- HOW TO INSTALL EOS3 ROM:
Now we've installed recovery, so we don't need the PC anymore. We can enter in recovery mode at any moment and do backup/restores, flash new roms, flash updates, etc.
To install EOS3 ROM (or any other "full install" -not update- ROM, do):
Start the Xoom in recovery mode.
Backup/restore -> backup the current system to our external SD.
Wipe data/factory reset -> remove partition contents
Wipe cache -> delete the cache
Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats
Install ZIP from SDCARD -> /sources/ -> the eos3 rom .zip file.
Install ZIP from SDCARD -> /sources/ -> the gapps .zip file.
Reboot
Install gmail, youtube, etc from Market (not included anymore in gapps).
Enjoy your new rom!
PART 4 .- HOW TO UPDATE EOS3 ROM or install a new different ROM:
Start the Xoom in recovery mode.
Backup/restore -> backup the current system to our external SD.
Wipe data/factory reset -> remove partition contents
Wipe cache -> delete the cache
Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats
Install ZIP from SDCARD -> /sources/ -> the new rom .zip file.
Install ZIP from SDCARD -> /sources/ -> the gapps .zip file.
Reboot
Enjoy your new rom!
I hope this can help people to unlock their xooms.
Thanks to "wesamothman" and "Cubanluke88" for the initial support given and specially to EOS Team and the people that created ClockWorkMod for sharing their time, work and knowledge with us. They've converted my "slow xoom" in a very powerfull and fully functional tablet.

Couldn't expect less from you. Super great guide...

I wish all new Android users would do the level of research the OP did prior to making his initial question thread. We guided you a bit but if I remember right, your first post showed quite well that you had done your homework. If more people committed themselves to understanding what they're doing prior to doing it, I'd imagine there'd be a lot less "bricks" in the android world. Great work dude and nice job entering the forums with a bang.

Thanks for your words...
In this thread I've tried not only to give a procedure (the forums and lots of websites are full of procedures) but also explain the concepts themselves (oem unlock, adb, fastboot, recovery mode, gapps, etc).
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".
Thanks.

Hi.
According to this URL, EOS6 RECOVERY.IMG has been deprecated:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604014
Now you can use Team Win Recovery Project 2.2, (TWRP):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782235
Flashing is almost similar to EOS6 recovery method described above, just check the last link.

Anyway, I have the eos-recovery-r6.img.zip file in my desktop, I can send you via email if you want to use it instead of TWRP (but you should not, as Team Eos recommends their new recovery system).
I'm going myself to update to TWRP this evening (they have a .zip file that you can flash from an existing recovery like my current "EOS6 recovery").

Same method for stock ics?
Sorry I am a bit paranoid..but will this same unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery method work for stock ics on my xoom?
Thanks !

Help !!! In a lot of trouble
I flashed the twrp recovery and then it rebooted..everything was perfect till that point
then i rebooted into recovery..and when i selected to install zip from usb drive..it said mount to sdcard failed (at this point the roms were downloaded in my internal storage) and it does not detect any zip files.
I tried putting the zip files on a proper micro sdcard and then rebooted into recovery..but still no luck.. it just says it failed to mount sdcard.
Special note:- and btw.. when i reboot into recovery and after pressing the vol up button there is a droid icon on my screen, but no 'recovery' menu shows up.. then i pressed volup+power button, this action popped up the list of menus of the recovery screen... (do u think this might be a problem?)
please help me i am panicking here..is there anyway i can flash a different recovery..like the eos recovery or the cmw?
HELP !!!!

Twrp recovery doesnt mount external sdcard by default, you need to mount it first thru recovery. Just go to mounts and check the box to mount external sdcard

I am sorry i panicked.. I think its working fine now..i flashed a wrong recovery it seems.
May i ask ! if we are installing the eos 3 rom for the first time, does it take very long to boot the very first time?
because i my xoom is booting up after installing, and the eos logo is on display for more than 10-15 mins.. is it supposed to take this long?

First time ROM flashing is longer than normal booting, like 5 min ,
If you got stuck in boot loop, reboot into recovery using the power and sound keys combination and clear cache and dalvik and reboot again

fantastic work like a charm, but used recovery download from the german one and worked rooted oukitel k6000 plus yea

i follow every step ( iread many times before i do it)
But Phone dosent boot anymore
I got only this Message on Display :
Orange State
yor device has been unlocked and cant ve trust
your device will reboot in 5 seconds
But Nothing happend
When i try to flash stock rom with splash tool i got da brom error with 60002
Its bricked???

Worked fine. I had to download files from other websites, but this procedure was good.
After reboot, su was working fine in /system. I wanted to reset the device completely, and typed "fastboot oem unlock"; I thought it would wipe data. Now, phone only boots on TWRP, and it seems like the /data partition is broken. TWRP can mount /system, but not /data. Either the device node is missig, or the partition is not formated properly.
Code:
# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 /nvdata ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /protect_f ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /protect_s ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /system ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /cache ext4 rw 0 0
/dev/block/dm-0 /data ext4 rw 0 0
/external_sd auto rw 0 0
/usbotg auto rw 0 0
Losetup-a gives nothing.
I tried all possible commands (adb reboot to everything), and press volume up or down ... always get back in TWRP. Can not even reach the factory menu (the one where there are tests).
After reformating /data i can reboot to bootloader (fastboot), but still not /system.
Stock ROM was looking fine; I would like to be able to keep it. I would like to avoid flashing to an other ROM.

In short, I have TWRP and flashboot, but /system launches TWRP.
I don't know how to get a working system. SPFlashTool does not seem to work with TWRP installed. TWRP does not like OUKITEL_K6000_Plus_V6.0_20170519.rar. I can't find any ZIP ROM for TWRP. And when I try individual .img files from the RAR, TWRP can install them, but it does notproduce a working phone.
I fear something could be wrong with the partition table, or at least /data. /system contains many files and this looks good.
---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------
How I fixed it:
fastboot flash boot /tmp/OUKITEL_K6000_Plus_V6.0_20170519/recovery-verified.img (EDIT: this MUST be wrong, should be fastboot flash recovery /tmp/OUKITEL_K6000_Plus_V6.0_20170519/recovery-verified.img or fastboot flash boot /tmp/OUKITEL_K6000_Plus_V6.0_20170519/boot-verified.img )
then, perform again https://fvknl.pro/k6000-plus-v6-0-upgrade/
and now I have a working phone.

* Can't apply Android updates because of TWRP+SuperSU ?
Now that my phone works, and is rooted (i use the stock ROM version 6), may 19th, the system is telling me there are system updates to do. I have downloaded them (200MB), but after reboot, update fails, for obvious reasons: the update is designed to be installed by the stock recovery firmware; and that partition is overwritten by TWRP.
I was given a tip to work around this (wherer the img file is taken from the .rar archive of the stock ROM):
# fastboot boot /tmp/recovery-verified.img
and it worked: fastboot uploaded the recovery image to the phone, ran it, and that recovery firmware started to apply the update.
Started ... but failed before half of it ... PROBABLY because /system was HEAVILY modified while I asked TWRP to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip (read the installation log of SuperSU ... it alters many things).
How can I apply my android updates without erasing the whole phone each time I want to apply them ?
A: how to get the installation log, to see the failure point, and fix it manually
or
B: install the update manually without running the recovery, but extract the update file, and manually copy the new files at due place, one by one
or
C: how to undo installation of SuperSU, so that /system is in a state where the update can be applied.
I want to do this without erasing /data, or /system. I had this issue on my previous phone; since december 2014 I could not apply any Android update; so my phone is stuck to Android 4 from december 2014. There have been many changes and updates during 2015 and I could not apply them. After installing su, i had been able to perform two Android updates; updates broke after installing Xposed. I do not want my new K6000 to have the same issue; I want to find a way to apply updates. And I would like to keep the stock flavour because there are many features I would like to use (don't want to install misc ROMs).

Xposed for oukitel 6000plus root
Hi I have an oukitel 6000plus root. I can not find the way to install xposed. You have succeeded in installing it successfully? Send me my email address app and zip to use. Thanks Fabio

I have tried many random things; I forgot the details of it. The versions are not a problem; there are links around to download old installers. Even if latest Xposed is for Android 25, archives will let you download v24.
It also depends when you rooted your phone, and which updates you did on your ROM before rooting. Depends if you are using ROM v6, v9, or v18 ...
Also, even if Xposed is installed, it's not working properly; in particular, I wanted Xposed to NotifyClean, and this plugin could not be installed on the Xposed I have (download goes fine, but plugin complains I need reboot to activate it). So, in short, Xposed is useless for me for now. Some other plugins have installed correctly (Taskbar).
The Xposed I have NOW is version 87 by PurifyOS. ATM, Android API 24.
But I said I tried many random things, so, maybe having tried to installed other variations of Xposed by other people was important to have this one installed. I remember that at some point, trying to install this one (purify) failed, and then, worked later ... forgot why.

Error
When you try to upload a TWRP, a message pops up:
"error: cannot load 'recovery-twrp31jemini.img'"
Bootloader should be unlocked. I see a buzz when switching on "yor device has been unlocked and cant ve trust
your device will reboot in 5 seconds"
Phone has a ROM v18
Application procedure on W10.
Does anyone find any solution?

You don't need to burn TWRP in FLASH to be able to use it. You just need to load and run it, this way:
fastboot boot recovery_TWRP-3.1.0.img
This way, if you have backup your whole phone, or downloaded and extracted a ROM, you can boot a stock recovery image:
fastboot boot /tmp/recovery-verified.img
According to your name jemini ... I thjink you have downlaoded the wrong TWRP. Boot and flash may fail if you grabbed a file for an other phone.
This should be ROM independant.
Since I rarely use TWRP, I now keep the stock recovery, and run TWRP from fastboot only when I need it; this way, stock recovery is available for Android updates.
Do you have links to ROM v18, so that I can download and install it directly, instead of having to burn v6, then update to v9 and v18 via update process ? I have issues with updates, and would like to flash directly using v18; but could not find a download link.

I got the phone today and unlocked it for root and everything.
After
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
the following showed up:
Code:

What do you say that this rom picks up on the oukitel k6000 plus ??

I need someone to help me my k6000 plus did not call any more after this procedure.
when I install the rom stock by flash sp this error appears
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByEkRDgYmbWtOXdpbngtcGJxQk0/view?usp=sharing

What do you want to do?
Flash the Stock ROM back with flashtool?
You should switch to "Download Only" and not "Firmware Upgrade".
Also the Download Agent was different when I flashed it, it was DA_PL.bin.

download current version attached above is 15.31 mb in size.
Screen Shot is also updated
Let me know your success.............................

flipped screen fixed !
Ok, now it's not flipped but the touch is still disabled

Read OP carefully. You need to format data partition completly first time and need to patch boot img via lazy flasher.
Showing 0mb bcz it is encrypted. You can use memory card.
If you want root then go for magisk root till recovery updated.

OK, now I removed the encryption, installed magisk and the root worked but when I try to install busybox and some other apps it doesn't work. When I try to install supersu zip it doesn't work (extracting ramdisk failure aborting) , isn't there any way to install supersu in order to get apps working correctly?

System is encrypted.
Use magiskmanager beta 14.5 or flash lazyflasher via twrp then one time you need to wipe data partition.
Always remember when you flash orignal boot.img you need to flash lazyflasher or magisk otherwise your system will become encrypted again.

Thank you, now touch is working perfectly <3

you can use ndk busybox from magisk app there is option download module.
But currently there is problem with module with this phone. the data partition is in F2FS format and its kernel is not handling f2fs properly.
TWO option for use magisk module.
1. wait for kernel update via infinix. or
2. format data partition as Ext4 from twrp.
Super su does not work correctly with f2fs currently.

But when I format data partition it resets my phone

How to flash eu rom on Redmi note 7 pro

Today I will teach you how I change my rom from miui china to miui eu rom. I am having problems regarding the tutorials on youtube because as of now there is still no English tutorials on it. But first let me give you some idea on how I did it. I am only using windows 7 professional and so I did tried to download the following:
1. platform tools
2. adb set up
3. adb folder
4. Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019
5. Patched_fstab+vbmeta+thermal
6. TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-violet-2019-03-22_20-44.img
7. Latest EU Rom on your redmi note 7 pro
The following guides that I use is from Technobuzz "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDcrO61AnZg" Its not me who made this but only modified some methods to make it work on mine.
But to no avail the platform tools doesnt work because of missing dll issues so possible its because I use an older model of windows. I tried to use adb folder but encountered some problems that in no luck i cant format the userdata till i got messed up my device and so Im having this error on recovery saying that system doesnt work anymore and need to press powerbutton in order for me to shut down my phone. and thus I brick my phone.
Ok fast forward, so I did brick my phone then and I go the recovery due to system has been corrupted and so I tried to go to download "violet_images_V10.2.5.0.PFHCNXM_20190316.0000.00_9.0_cn_8e2009cdc7.tgz" in order to reflash my phone using miflash. Btw I came from miui 10.3.5.0 China stable rom so this means I downgraded my phone. Its okay for me cause I can root or install custom recovery more efficiently.
Instructions:
1. Install the adb set up
2. Make sure you unlock your bootloader already.
3. Put the TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-violet-2019-03-22_20-44.img and rename it to recovery.img
4. Put the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019 and Patched_fstab+vbmeta+thermal on your memory card and your latest eu rom zip file.
5. Downgrade your phone to miui 10.2.5.0 china rom to ensure a good installation of your twrp
6. Go to adb folder open cmd from there(right click and click open command window here)
7. Switch off your phone then hold volume down then power button to enter fastboot mode

Hello,
Sorry for my suspicious report. (but glad to make you loool)
Your are right Windows Defender is the only engine on virustotal to detect this files :cyclops:
Defender is not so bad for Windows files, but I agree it's really not a reference with android files
I've also verifed dpmserviceapp.apk on my xiaomi.eu 11.2 rom with the same result.

Will I be able able to revert to miui 10.3.2 if I restore this backup. Additionally, once restore rom, can I restore apps and data from previous miui version?

Any chance you still have a copy of that 3.3.1-3 TWRP? All links on XDA/Google seem to be dead for that particular build, and it was the only one that didn't have the stupid Pin/Pattern, Pattern/Pin bug. Even the latest TWRP (3.5.1) still has that bug.
Thanks.
