[Recovery] Official TWRP for the Xiaomi Mi MIX (lithium)

Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.2-0
This is for the Xiaomi Mi MIX only, do not flash on other models!
WARNING: As of Android Marshmallow, factory boot images have dm-verity enabled, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Follow the full rooting steps below in order to allow system modifications without the risk of a boot loop!
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
Read more about TWRP here: https://twrp.me/about/
DOWNLOAD
You can find the device page here:
For official stock/dev firmware: http://teamw.in/devices/xiaomimimix.html
For (slightly newer) firmware: https://build.nethunter.com/test-builds/twrp/xiaomi/twrp-3.0.2-0-rc1-eu-lithium.img
For (the latest EU) firmware: https://build.nethunter.com/test-builds/twrp/xiaomi/twrp-3.0.2-0-rc2-eu-lithium.img
(touchscreen will not respond if not matching firmware)
You can find up to date fastboot & adb binaries here!
FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT
Follow these instructions until someone nice comes along and makes a video from them (without ads):
You must first unlock your device. To do this, follow the instructions on the MIUI forums. (tedious, I know)

Extract adb & fastboot to your computer.
Download TWRP for Xiaomi Mi MIX (lithium).
Reboot your device into fastboot mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Down] + [Power] buttons while your device reboots.
Once you're in fastboot mode, you're ready to flash TWRP. To do this, run these commands in order:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
If you want to be rooted with something else or just want a bootable system:
Download the latest dm-verity and forced encryption disabler zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
This will also allow you to use [Format Data] to completely disable your encryption if desired.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up. (SuperSU will reboot you a few times)
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

Best device now has best TWRP ever made before.
tnx @jcadduono

Looks like it won't be showing up on twrp.me until 3.0.3 or 3.1.0 depending on what's next. There's a few incompatibilities in the device tree and I'd prefer to wait it out till then. Ex. 3.0.2 doesn't support f2fs or ntfs on omnirom trees right now, but our current source does. If I made an official release neither would be supported.
Update: Official release made on newer TWRP build tree.

Wow, a thousand thanks.

I flashed the recovery, but the touch screen was not working, I can't do anything in the recovery, anyone know what's wrong?

did you read the part about needing a different TWRP image for EU vs stock ROM? You will need to boot the ROM you want, then turn off the device completely and boot into the TWRP version that matches it. This is a kernel firmware update issue that I can't fix until Xiaomi releases sources.

I am on stock rom and using the stock rom version TWRP, the touch screen just don't work.
To be more clear, I am on dev rom 6.11.10 (MIUI8), do I have to change to stable rom V8.0.8.0.MAHCNDI (MIUI8) to make it work?
Update: Yes, I changed to stable rom and it works.

you have to flash CN Stable rom V8.0.8.0.MAHCNDI (MIUI8) and use original TWRP for it and if you want Cross-Flash your CN rom with International one Here too .
When you are on International rom up&running you can flash over the EU TWRP .
As explained from @jcadduono this is the only solution for the moment until XIAOMI release his Kernel stuff officially

cause Stock kernel still was not relased you have to simply flash EU Rom using stock TWRP and after you done you have to change to TWRP EU to make it working again .
We are waiting official sources from Xiaomi

just to make sure i'm understanding this correctly - there is no way to unlock this phone on the day you get it you have to apply and wait upwards of 2 weeks to be able to unlock it?

I waited about 4 hours after submitting the application, 2 weeks is a maximum estimation.

OTA update for F1f

A new official ColorOS udpate from OPPO is available in my region and at least all Europe I guess.
This is version F1fEX_11_170327. A copy of the OTA update package is here if anyone needs it: F1EX_11_OTA_896-897_patch_201703271119_3cf702307f.zip on MEGA (56.0 MB).

This is still Android 5.1.1 with a 3.10.28 kernel. No Marshmallow
I'm a bit amazed by the continuous support from OPPO, and especially the security patches integrated in those updates. I was not expecting this from this brand. This is part of what's preventing me from completely switching to LineageOS. This is my only smartphone and I need it to just work.

Now I wish I can unroot my phone, lol

You can, I did it.
The simplest method:
- copy ColorOS & Project Spectrum zips provided by OPPO
- boot in fastboot mode
- Install stock recovery with fastboot
- Reboot to recovery
- Install Project Spectrum
- Reboot to recovery
- Install ColorOS
You should be stock, relocked.

Thank you!
But where can I get stock recovery?

You can extract recovery.img from the ColorOS zip.

If someone were to flash this via twrp. When they have followed this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/op...pdates-rooted-unlocked-devices-t3395034/page8
They would loose twrp and lose he unlocked bootloader correct?

This zip is only for OPPO*recovery, not for TWRP. It needs to be modified. If modified, I don't think recovery or unlocked state would change as recovery is not included in the original zip.

The update zip does contain and flash the locked bootloader(emmc_appsboot.mbn) and also the update zips never contain a recovery.img but do have a script(install_recovery.sh) and patches that patch the latest recovery onto latest boot.img and flash it to recovery. So, yes, flashing it will lock everything down. Modifying it to remove bootloader and recovery is easy enough( I'm happy to do it) but it will also check the current build version on the phone before flashing and refuse to flash unless the rom has been updated to the "896" level, which I have never seen an update zip to go from 894 to 896 (891-894 is the newest update I have seen posted till now). There is a new download of full rom available for the 896 version which could also be modified to install from twrp without bootloader and recovery but it does require a full wipe. If enough people want it, I guess it would be good to have a more up to date full clean install of colouros.
Do you think it's worth the effort?

It would be nice if we ever go back to color os. But don't rush it. Take your time. Its not a big rush. But I would rather the time be spent in lineage first. Up to you

That would be the hardest way in my opinion. Try these first.
I would use the supersu app first and if that doesn't work then use the manual delete

How to re install the original recovery :crying:

Redmi Note 5/Pro Miui ROMs without firmware [fw-less]

Redmi Note 5/Pro Miui ROMs without firmware
We all know that Xiaomi added Anti roll-back to latest Stable/Beta ROMs and many users bricked their phones because of it, check my thread about ARB Here, then check out this one
Here ill provide Miui ROMs fully stock but without "firmware-update", to prevent any potential bricking while switching between Miui Based ROMs
Download Folders:
Here
Notes:
After flashing any of the builds above you cant go and flash FULL Miui ROMs to downgrade, just stick to my modded versions if you want to use older MIUI builds
No matter which Anti (3/4) you have, you can flash any of those ROMs with TWRP
Those ROMs doesnt affect your phone bootloader in any way, so you can roll back to your old ROM after Flashing any of the above builds
Old builds might get removed, so keep what you need locally, we will keep the latest 3 builds from every branch
Dont answer with false info's, i saw more than one reply with false statements
Be Nice to each other, no need for flaming in here
Dont post links to other ROMs here, i saw miuipro & eu links couple of posts back ( it could come with fw/bl)
Read OP, Search before posting
One more time, those ROMs wont remove or change your anti, if you come from anti 3 it will stay anti 3 after flashing, and same goes for anti 4
Again, if your phone is anti 4, you cant just simply go and flash FULL older ROM, even after flashing Modded builds, so stick with my builds
Anti 4 users can flash any of those builds just fine
[*]All the notes Above applies for My Modded builds only, do go and share it as facts for all Miui ROMs
Credits:
Me for the idea/testing
@akhilnarang for the script and mirroring @yshalsager for the script and mirroring

Note for CN Users
Note for CN Users:
before flashing any Global ROMs, you guys have to flash Global Cust from fastboot
Download Global Cust Here
Donwload dummy.img Here or attachments
then follow these steps:
Flash dummy.img from Fastboot to Enable Fastboot Commands
fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
then Flash cust-global.img
fastboot flash cust cust-global.img
Then Reboot into TWRP & Flash Global ROM

and this thx

so i can flash this over miui 8.7.12 and all the miui roms. doesn't matter if they are on anti v3 or anti v4?

No!!, read notes please, those builds contain system, boot & vendor only, doesn't have anything to do with bootloader or anti
Wait for Modded Miui 9 builds!

?

Excellent thought. Keep it going!

Stable builds are UP!!
Enjoy

Thanks! Are these flashable through updater app? I mean since I can't flash official v9.5.17.0 global over v8.7.5 beta now as we have newer stable version 9.5.19.0 with ARB which I don't wanna flash yet. Also I have locked bootloader still 165 hrs to go until I can fastboot flash and downgrade but i really wanna go to stable ROM asap.

@AL_IRAQI
Hello, I am currently in an AOSP and TWRP installed, I am wanting to install to EU 8.7.12. If I do, can I go back to an AOSP again?
Obs: I read the notes but I still have doubts
thankful

For now i'm on 8.7.5 global official with bootloader locked (5 day left to unlock the bootlader) ! can i update to 8.7.12 global with the updater app ?
And will i stay on "Anti 3" or will i be on Anti 4 like it would if i update normally ?
I read the note too but these wasn't answered

(Guide) Relock Bootloader/Back To Stock.

This guide is for those who are on unlocked bootloader/custom roms and want to go back to realme UI 1.0 and relock
Needless to say, me, and the makers of realme flash-tool and TWRP/other recoveries wouldn't be responsible for any damage caused to your device. Having said that, this method has been tested and should be fine for realme UI 1.0.
First things first, if you are on custom rom or on rooted stock rom you need to revert to unmodified stock rom.
*Warning :-Make absolutely sure that you are not relocking by flashing an older version, always flash the current or newer i:e If you unlocked while being on version A.19 make sure to flash A.19 and/or newer versions and not A.17. While I'm not sure if this will result in a brick or not and have no intentions of trying, this may result in a hardbrick.*
Links to firmware (RMX2061/EUxxxxxxx.ozip). Search for realme 6pro from the list.
IN.- https://www.realme.com/in/support/software-update
EU.- https://www.realme.com/eu/support/software-update
*Do not lock bootloader while on custom rom.*
*Do not lock bootloader if you're rooted.*
*Do not lock bootloader with any custom partitions even vbmeta with disabled verity and verification.*
IF YOU DO SO YOU'LL END UP WITH A BRICK WHICH CAN ONLY BE FIXED AT A SERVICE CENTER. YOUR PHONE WILL DISPLAY AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING PARTITONS ARE CORRUPT/DAMAGED.
Backup your stuff before proceeding.
There are three ways to revert to stock:
1. Using RFT (Realme Flashtool) by @sayaoks :-
Instructions provided on the thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../tool-rtf-realme-flash-tool-to-flash-t4144969
2. Using TWRP (use the latest from the recovery section).
*Wipe>Format Data> type yes> format
*Reboot>reboot to recovery
*Install > Select .ozip> Swipe to flash
*Reboot
Do not select disable-vbmeta or avb_patcher or anything of that sort.
Recommended-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-6-pro/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-t4171759
3. Using stock recovery.
From system:- To flash using stock recovery, download and put the .ozip in the root of storage and from realme file manager tap on it. It will start Flashing in the stock recovery.
From recovery:- Download and put the .ozip in the root of storage, then reboot to recovery.
Your Language> Install from storage> enter password(only if you have one)> Phone/SDcard and then select the .ozip.
Any custom recovery.img/boot.img should now be replaced with stock.
After flashing is successful and the device has booted to stock rom reboot to the bootloader.
If you want to be extra careful, and used RFT or TWRP/Custom Recovery to flash stock rom, you can flash the fw again using stock recovery after the phone has booted up(steps mentioned above).
Connect the phone to PC and enter command
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
Now on the phone select lock bootloader with the help of volume up and power buttons.

I'm on RMX2063_11_A35 I can't find an update more recent than RMX2061EU_11.A.26 Can I use this method and update via OTA and then lock the bootloader?

A35 is the latest version for IN firmware. Latest for EU is A28, which is up on realme EU website.
If you want A35 firmware just visit the Indian downloads page.
And yes you can update to a newer version than whatever you unlocked on and then lock on the newer version. Make sure everything is just stock meaning no twrp,patched boot and/or custom recovery.

Don't have a brick to use the rmx2061 model? instead of device 2063, what method do you recommend.

Well I know someone having Indonesian/Indian model and locking on the EU firmware. It didn't brick but not sure what will happen in the future when an OTA drops.
Lock on the same firmware as the device, like eu device with eu fw and so on (just to be safe).
You can use any methods to get to stock, just to be extra sure, when the phone boots up after flashing stock and before locking, put the fw in the root storage of the phone and re-flash again with the stock recovery. And then proceed to lock.

thanks to carry out the process and start correctly, I got an update of only 300 mb ls which gave me an error, but soon the same RMX2063a1135 came out but 3.5 gb which if it was installed and now I am as I started, without root or magisk, The question is, since the most recent was installed via ota, can I close the bootloader?

Yes but you must use the latest Android 10 image, seem realme blocks to downgrade to older version than this

You can use RUI 2.0 to lock. Just be sure that all partitions are stock. Use the .ozips made by @ctapchuk

How To Guide Root OnePlus 9

This is for Europe (11.2.2.2.LE25DA). If you are on Global, EU version works, but up to you. It appears for last year, unless you are from India, OnePlus doesn't care. It might be a while before a Full OTA update for Global is released, you'll notice updates come without it for Global or on their Global support site, the firmware is outdated.
- On T-Mobile have full 5G. I don't know about AT&T and Verizon. Should be same.
If you are on Global and you just received your phone. Do all the updates from the incremental through device. If you want root, you can flash with the EU patched boot.img and everything will work as normal
**** but once you do this, you will need to wait for Global full OTA to update next time, unless you managed to have a backup copy of the unpatched boot.img
Do the usual to unlock your OnePlus 9: oem unlock, usb debugging from developer. Boot into bootloader and use adb command /fastboot flashing unlock
This will wipe your phone and reboot. Setup your phone
Install Magisk from his official github: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v22.0
- Topjohn provides full instructions on how to do this yourself as well.
Reboot into bootloader
Flash boot the magisk modified boot.img. /fastboost flash boot boot.img
Go into Magisk app and install via direct install and all done.
Return to stock
- Restore boot.img from Magisk
- Uninstall Magisk
- Flash the stock boot.img
- Relock the bootloader, will wipe and return to factory reset.

Future Full OTA Updates
- Update as usual
- Go into Magisk and choose direct install and then install to inactive slot after OTA
- This will retain root
How to do it yourself:

What version/region of the OP9 is this boot.img for? Where did you get the original unmodified one? I need Canadian.

So there seems to be confusion about version. The boot image doesn't matter. When you flash a custom rom, there isn't a EU or US version. The only difference I can think of if it's T-Mobile, so when you flash, then it would just be an international/global. This is from XDA.
Honestly I would bet the Indian version is same as well.
This is the EU, which is the same boot.img for US unlocked.
If the future you should be able to do this yourself once OnePlus adds the 9 series to their global firmware downloads list.

Good to know, thanks! I'm not planning to flash a custom rom, I just want root. So I just have to make sure the bootloader is unlocked, and then follow the steps for Magisk.

Yep, working great here. Mobile payments working fine. Using energized for adblock.

So I successfully rooted yesterday, all is working great. Today my phone prompts me that system update 11.2.1.1 is available. Of course, I cannot upgrade while rooted. However, I also can't restore my stock boot.img because I don't have a copy of it... Any way to update without doing a factory reset, or am I screwed?
Edit: From what I've found, factory reset doesn't touch the boot partition. So that won't help.

This method worked for me, though I'm now running the same issue as Slikkster2k, since I don't have an unpatched boot.img, I can't uninstall magisk to update via OTA.
I would suggest, for those wanting to be able to update in the future (until we get a custom recovery), that instead of /fastboot flash boot boot.img, use /fastboot boot boot.img and then let Magisk finish the install. When Magisk patches the boot image, it will take a backup of the stock one to be used for uninstallation.

Install magisk module-a/b install-before you reboot, then select direct install to second slot and reboot. Works beautifully.

I can't install the OTA update at all -- I'm on global ROM, so it fails because it's attempting a partial OTA update, rather than flashing a full ROM.

@zymphad
Do you also have a copy of the unpatched boot.img file?

With rooted phone you need to do full not partial.
We are on the February security update. The latest update for OP9 is still on it, so disappointing.
We have to wait until the March security update that is already out for other oneplus devices.
You can unroot and re-lock your bootloader and then install the partial and then do the whole process again. I am not going to do that, seems waste of time.
Uninstall Magisk -- Flash stock boot.img -- lock bootloader.
This will wipe your phone back to factory reset!!!
But I expect we will see March update soon since Nord and 8 series have them already.

The issue is that even if we wanted to do this, Slikkster2k and I (and possibly others), don't have the stock boot.img, since we flashed the magisk patched boot.img directly. Since you provided the patched boot.img originally, do you have the unpatched version available?
That way if anyone still on the original version that came pre-loaded wants to flash back to fully stock (and maybe re-lock bootloader) they can.

Those of us on the Global/US variant (AA) don't have the full zip available, and since we can't flash incremental while rooted, we currently have no way of actually reverting to stock until OnePlus publishes the full ROM zip.

Will post the stock.
I mean dunno why would want to since to do the incremental think have to relock bootloader which would factory reset.
And the to root again would factory reset again...
The March security update is already out for Nord and 8 series. Would just wait.
The incremental is still the Feb security update which you are already on.

Thanks, I mostly just wanted to redo the root process, but use /fastboot boot boot.img instead of /fastboot flash boot boot.img, so that magisk has a backup of the stock bootloader. That way, if for some reason I need to flash back to stock before the March Security update comes out, I can do so from my phone without needing my PC.

Ah, was not aware of that. In that case we'll just have to wait, hopefully OnePlus posts it soon.
Besides, the patched bootloader you posted is from 11.2.1.1 (I compared the hash to the one in the other thread), so I assume the stock image is the same. So it's no good to us anyways.

Ahh, I didn't realize that, I guess it's just a good thing that the 11.2.1.1 boot.img doesn't cause any issues when flashed onto 11.2, since we would have had no way to undo it

Actually I tested it using fastboot boot boot.img before I flashed it, just to make sure it would work (I didn't know it was from 11.2.1.1 at the time, but I'm paranoid).

Seems the rest of the world is getting the March update except US again. Still no full package, and this time not even partial. Dunno what is going on with OnePlus and US, but it's annoying.
Will update for EU AB firmware in the OP. And then put disclaimer for Global to do all their updates prior to rooting.
