Which version of TWRP bluespark?

I just currently got the latest ota and let it install and I installed magisk from the manager by choosing to install to inactive partition after ota. That worked flawlessly and was able to keep root. But I lost TWRP of course. I was using the official TWRP. I've been noticing everyone going to TWRP bluespark recovery. But which one do I download??? From what I understand there is a version for oos android 8 Oreo and a version for oos android 9 pie. I'm on official oos pie. So which one do I need?

Just take the latest official TWRP and you are fine. Trust me.

Thank you. But still would like to know if I decide to use bluespark version.

Sure. If you want to use Blu Spark TWRP use this one twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6
IMG and zip files are here https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads
You can use TWRP official or Blu Spark TWRP. What ever you like. Blu Spark is recommended for people coming from oos beta to stable

May I ask what the difference is?

Just to add a note to you for next ota.
After ota is installed go to magisk manager
Press download
Search for twrp a/b
Install (don't reboot)
Now go to main screen and press install
Choose to inactive slot (after ota)
This way you keep both twrp and root
Happy flashing

Android Q final

Hello, I have problem. I´m on Android 11, with OOS 11.1.2.2, but I can´t install TWRP - twrp-3.6.0_11-0-enchilada.img. When I wrote fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_11-0-enchilada.img, it is stuck on logo a nothing happen. Please how to boot in twrp?
Thank you.

TWRP on Android 10

After recently bricking my Oneplus 6 by trying to flash the latest TWRP on the latest Android 10 OTA from Oxygen Updater, I found a post from official TWRP explaining how root with a10 will take a while to implement due to changes that Google has made to their partitions.
So I guess for anyone trying this out on their own, be warned. You will probably end up bricking your device like I did and will probably end up having a bad time.
Please correct me if i'm wrong though, peace!
Edit: can confirm fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img from the other popular post is working!

If you already have a working TWRP on OOS 9 you should be fine as long as you flash a working TWRP afterwards. Blu_spark TWRP 9.101 is compatible (please not 9.101 no earlier version will work).
Also don't use Magisk 20 only 20.1.
There is already a pre-patched version out there. You can fastboot flash it (as fastboot boot doesn't work). An easier way (without a pre-patched version) is currently being worked one as you pointed out already

just updated to a10
boot into twrp, flash new bluspark twrp
flash FULL ota a10 image
reflash twrp
reboot into twrp
boot into system
boot back to twrp
install magisk 20.1
a10, twrp and root working

Which build did u use mate? R108 is not working with android 9, I tried flashing it using my older installed twrp.
It says unsupported android version. And in github r108 says only for android 10.

r108 is the kernel not twrp

I can confirm that this is working for me. I successfully upgraded from Android 9, Oxygen OS 9.0.9 to Android 10, Oxygen OS 10. Steps that I followed :
1) Flashed new twrp from link in the above post by akri1337 using my previously installed twrp : bluspark 9.85.
2) Flashed Oxygen OS 10 full update and added to queue latest bluspark twrp which I flashed in step one as it would be overwritten by flashing the full OTA update.
3) Rebooted into recovery again to switch to active slot.
4) Flashed Magisk 20.2 to regain root.
This process successfully upgraded my Oneplus 6 without any data loss.
Please note that I disabled all magisk modules just to be safe before starting the upgrade process but didn't uninstall magisk. I was on Magisk 20.2 earlier.
Hope this helps everyone.

Which magisk? Ver 20.1 ?

Why is it that I get an error when trying to flash the full OTA update using TWRP? Something about error 7 and not have a digest file. Is there a full OTA update file that everyone is using? I tried the signed full zip from here on XDA and the one from Oxygen Updater. I get the same error with both.

Still confused as to how everyone else can flash these zip files through TWRP and I cannot.
I'm currently Magisk rooted and have TWRP installed. Will I lose root and TWRP when updating through the local upgrade method?

Yes, you will need to flash twrp with adb and going through the hole process of installing twrp and magisk, but for me its not worked well, after first boot to Android Q with magisk 20.1 and granting some apps root access when I rebooted the phone its not booting to system and going to bootloader, I think its related to some problem with magisk 20.1.

If you have a locked bootloader, you can't do anything.
Magisk and root is separate to TWRP on this phone. This image will help you get Magisk installed.

Hi a1291762, as a noob could I ask you a few questions please?
Wanting to downgrade from Q to Pie, could I used your 10.0.20.0 vanilla boot with the Mi Flash Tool using the steps here, and then if I wanted to add root I could use the 10.0.20.0 patched boot with the guide here?
Thank you!

You might want to check that people have been able to downgrade. I know that pie-oreo caused a modem issue.
You need a fastboot image to downgrade. Unless MiFlash has magic (I have never used it).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871
Looks like you'll have to downgrade to 10.0.18.0 and then apply the 10.0.20.0 update, since I do not see a fastboot for 10.0.20.0.
You won't need the vanilla boot image because it is in the fastboot image.
One you have 10.0.20.0 installed you can use the 10.0.20.0 patched boot to install Magisk.

Much appreciated, I had thought your vanilla boot and the fastboot images were the same things, once I downgrade to 10.0.18.0, how would I apply the 10.0.20.0 update as I assume the next xiaomi system update would skip straight to the latest Q build?

I'm not totally sure...
There are links to the OTA zips around. A thread about Android 10 showed how to install one using the stock recovery... I guess the same works for 10.0.20.0?
As a Linux user I would be inclined to try and use command line tools to install the OTA zip... But I don't even know if that's a thing

I bought titanium backup pro a long time ago and still use it. Back in the day, the free version was annoying for whole device restore. But it's let me move across 5 devices and saved me from losing data on many occasions so I consider it money well spent.
I backup and then rsync /sdcard to a computer daily (CLI tools from cron). For restore I copy the files back (if needed) and then restore.
I only backup user apps, call history and SMS. System apps don't restore properly these days.

2nd attempt to upgrade to 12.2.4.0 from 12.0.4.0 failed and resulting in storage wipe

Hi,
I would like to know if anybody encountered this. This is my second time encountering this issue. I was on 12.0.4 and received a notification to perform update to 12.4.0. After downloading and rebooting, my twrp launched and after a few seconds instead of flashing, it went to the main menu page. After that, the phone just goes to fastboot mode and refused to boot. My phone has been rooted with magisk. Much appreciated for experts inputs.
The only way for me to boot my phone is to do a clean flash using mi flash tool and fallback to the old version...
Thank you.

V12.0.4.0.QJKMIXM is a android 10 stable rom and V12.2.4.0.RJKMIXM is a android 11 stable beta rom which has many bugs.
V12.2.4.0.RJKEUXM is a stable rom that you can flash with miflash(but EEA not global).

After successfully going to v12.2.4.0, now I am finding that my current TWRP 3.4.1b unable to decrypt the phone thus not able to root it. I guess I have to fall back to 12.0.4.0 to be safe... I was tempted to go to 12.2.4.0 due to android 11 but looks like it's too problematic now due to beta. I was actually wondering why beta was pushed to me.

Yes i am able to successfully flashed twrp via fastboot afterward and directly proceed to root using magisk.
Everything works as usual, except, for me atleast, twrp now require pattern-type (3x3 dot) as password for decryption. Pin or character doesnt works.

Deleted.

To solve update problem you need to Rollback to stable stock rom, I used this:
Code:
lmi_global_images_V12.2.4.0.RJKMIXM_20201228.0000.00_11.0_global
extracted it.
then used mi flash from this toolkit:

sorry, but I cant provide links to downloads.

This is nothing new. With the bootloader unlock you can flash any version of stock rom with miflash.

Successfully updated to 12.2.4.0. However, my nova launcher has been 'uninstalled' after this upgrade and I am unable to reinstall it with install fail error coming up. I am installing from apk. Anybody has this issue?

Question OTA update

I have eu ROM installed, I have root, TWRP and magisk. Will there be an OTA update to android 13 and will there be any installation issues? It would be best if the OTA took place.

For the moment no A13 and no TWRP A13. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...om-for-xiaomi-mi-12-pro.4400035/post-87337527 12 pro but same for A13.
the update removes the root (unroot before is preferable).

Hello. I have eu ROM A12 and waiting for eu ROM A13. I should unroot before OTA update. After unrooting, I wouldn't know how to proceed with the update. I also learned that an OTA update can be done via magisk. I'm asking for advice. Also, I would like the apk downloads to be sorted like on my original A12. Thanks for the answers.
