Can i flash rom via twrp? Will it work ?
No fastboot roms for fastboot mode only and you will loose root. It means you need to reroot your device if you wish
TWRP is for custom roms only.

You can either do a clean flash with TWRP/ORANGE or do flash with MIFlashTool with Fastboot ROM. (Depends of what you want to keep or lose, eg. the bootloader unlocked) with Fastboot ROM it will reset and relock the bootloader (of course you can unlocked it again with unlock tool without problem), with MIUI recovery ROMS will be the same steps as flashing a custom ROM, it might re-write the stock recovery after the reboot but the bootloader will remain unlocked.

Is unlocked bootloader disadvantageous for an ordinary, blah phone ?
Should I flash via fastboot and lock bootloader ?

Some apps doesn't work properly, like Netflix for example.
If you're just using regular MIUI without root or any mods like magisk better leave it locked.
You don't have to lock the bootloader when using Miflashtool, just choose "Clean all" and not "Clean all and lock" at the bottom of the ui.

No, definitely not. Unless you want to brick your device.

Its not recommended to re lock on anything except stock firmware. Could brick it pretty easily with this device.
What about with Stock ROM and chainfires SuperSU?

It may be risky. I was complete stock and only had SuperSU (systemless) installed and I tried restoring a backup. After that I was locked out of recovery and it wanted me to enter a password which I had never set up. I couldn't use fastboot either because I could not modify the partitions. I was only able to use ./flash-all.sh in factory image. That's the only thing that restored it. If I had locked my bootloader I would have been screwed. And all I did was restore a backup. This device is too finicky with the new security features. I would not risk locking it if you are gonna do any modding.

Unlock bootloader officially or unofficially. White ASUS Splashcreen will appear if unlocked successfully. Then go to bootloader then flash your twrp and now you can install customs ROM.
You can still root your device without unlocking bootloader or flashing twrp. Just download a pre-rooted firmware then flash using commands.

Can this be done within the stock recovery of the phone, or are you talking about something else?

You dont need to be in the recovery to this, you just need to be in bootloader mode, connect your device to you computer then fastboot flash the parts of the pre-rooted firmware using fastboot commands.

Thanks, but I went with the one-click root and just unlocked the bootloader. I installed the Xperia rom and it's working really good. I've just waited to root this bish because I had to send it back to asus two times for repair " what a pain in the ****ing ass too "

Hey guys,
want to mod my freshly bought Mi A1 to the max, but I'm not sure if i should OTA first or better start modding right away?
I already unlocked the bootloader and it didnt wipe it - it also has 7.1 installed still. Generally I'm usually reluctant to do official updates because they usually make modding harder - but I tried booting the treble TWRP installer .img through fastboot (without installing it) and it failed because some partition was missing it said.. so I just want to hear if OTA is necessary to use the latest custom roms or if i can keep the old bootloader etc?
Would be cool if someone who knows could say smth about that.
Or is updating through OTA actually recommended even when not planning to ever use stock roms?

If security matters for you yes
The only thing you'll share with a custom ROM is the bootloader
Since may update locking or relocking the bootloader will wipe your data
It's your choice
but it will still work as easy as before to unlock/lock with just a fastboot command, right?
and will a custom rom work with a locked bootloader? Like first unlock, install custom rom + kernel, then relock?

You have to enable it in Developer settings.

It will always be that easy to unlock and relock the bootloader
No don't relock on anything that is out of stock (custom kernel , magisk, custom ROM etc) this will lead to a softbrick and you'll have to be on edl more to reflash a stock rom
What's the interest of having a locked bootloader with a custom ROM? You won't pass the safety net anyway
Just keep it unlock
You can do ota with an unlocked bootloader

hahahaaa exactly the point :laugh:
well once you have everything "perfectly set up" updates can ruin it. but yea relocking the bootloader really was a stupid idea - it was the idea to make it tamper proof but since custom kernels wont boot with locked bootloader that wouldnt work.
My last android was a lollipop version and I guess there are a lot of changes and security "improvements".
On my Huawei P10 Lite (WAS-LX1 8.0.0.367 C02 / EMUI 8.0.0) I want to flash TWRP, root the stock ROM. I want also to use Xposed, but i'm afraid to not brick the phone, I also saw something regarding FRP, bootload unlock.
If it's not possible and you consider that it's more simple to install directly a custom rom, then which one?
Somebody can guide me?
For root or install a custom rom you will need unlock the bootloader and that requires an unlock code, you can get the code with DC Unlocker but it cost you some money.

First you need to use DC-Unlocker to get a bootloader code. It will cost you 4€. Then unlock your bootloader. Then install this TWRP. It works perfectly in stock EMUI 8, but in custom roms it doesn't even boot and also make sure to use "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk" and not "fastboot flash recovery". Then flash the latest magisk. And for Xposed you'll have to use v90 beta 4 version on stock EMUI 8 otherwise you'll get a bootloop. And it's not for magisk, you'll have to flash it in TWRP.

How can Dc_Unlocker made an Bootloader Unlock Code? HUAWEI doesn't give any Bootloader Unlock Codes for anyone Out!
I would really like to Flash Costum Recovery and Root my P10Lite(WAS_LX1) android&emui 8!
Or can I flash With Stock Recovery Magisk and later Root Device and Flash Costum Recovery/Rom with locked Bootloader? Or Unlock Bootloader other Option?
Thanks a lot for every tip

You can't flash nothing with locked bootloader. You need to pay for dc phoenix credit.

Okay thanks,
So I decided their is an Universal Code(Key Gen.)for All Huawei/&other devices to generate an Unlock Code with the Imei Nummbers I think.
With the Right Knowing everyone could generate his Own Unlock Code.
Thanks for your Help now I Understand a bit more about Flashing and Bootloaders.

Hey guys just a question my time of unlocking the bootloader is about to finish .
Do i go and install twrp directly after unlocking the bootloader while still in fastboot or reboot the device to the system and set it up then install twrp via fastboot again ?
And shall i use the stock rom or i need a custom one like miui.eu.
Any way thanks in advance
When you will unlock bootloader ur device will automatically reboot, it won't be in fastboot.
2. Depends if ur device reboots u can still reboot to fastboot mode and flash twrp and flash eu or choice of ROM.
