EEA Global v10.3.8.0 to v10.3.10.0 through TWRP [MI 9T] (SOLVED)

Hello guys,
I'm searching (as the title said) someone that is in my same situation. I'm currently running the MIUI Global on Mi 9T with twrp + magisk. I'd like to update it safely but I don't know how to do. I tried to flash the rom zip through the twrp but it gives me the error "zip file is corrupt". I hope I will found someone to collaborate with.
I think the best things to do are:
- Unistall Magisk from twrp
- Reflash the original recovery through twrp
- Update MIUI Global
- Reflash TWRP and Install magisk
The possible issue is at the first step: if we unistall Magisk we could be stuck into bootloop and then we cannot do anything to restore our phone.
Another possible solution is to flash the fastboot rom through MiFlash but it is still not out and I don't know if it will ever be.
EDIT: I found how to correctly update the device. If anyone is in my same situation, just follow these steps
- Download the rom link from here
- Go to twrp and flash it (don't reboot yet)
- Go back and flash magisk
- Reboot

can you explain steps how you tried to flash by twrp?

Sure, I just downloaded the rom zip through the official updater and then I tried to flash it through twrp
Update: ok, the zip was really damaged. Now I installed it through an external source. How I can safely update now?

now you install which rom? eea or global?

EEA. A developer of my old device suggested me to do this:
- Flash the rom zip
- Flash magisk (since it should disable dmverity to keep the twrp)
- Reboot
But I repeat: I'm scared like crazy because if I go into bootloop my phone will be out since a new fastboot rom will be out.
What's your opinion about this? Should I try anyway?

Before foashing new rom ununstal magisk by twrp. After all should work well

I have read of some cases of bootloop after magisk unistall

Status of TWRP with Android 10 on Mi 9T

Hey
So my bootloader unlock wait time is coming up tomorrow, but this forum is not giving me much hope as all I can see is problems with TWRP constantly being replaced with the stock recovery and general incompatibility (recovery loops or bootloader loops), no one seems to know which of the 10,000 versions of TWRP and OrangeFox (????) recovery to use.
Can anyone clarify what the situation is with Xiaomi Mi 9T or is this phone doomed and its just worth throwing on eBay (a phone without custom recovery and root is absolutely worthless to me).
Thanks a plenty!

Hi!
"TWRP constantly being replaced with the stock recovery"
=> That's nothing to do about Android version: It's a Xiaomi/MIUI boot protection feature. Some TWRP flash a modified VBMeta image, at first TWRP boot, to disable this protection.
- What you can do:
1) Download latest OrangeFox and put ZIP file in phone storage
2) Download latest Official TWRP, flash it via fastboot then hold "Power" and "Vol+" buttons (both) until TWRP is booted
3) Select OrangeFox ZIP file in TWRP and flash it (phone will automatically restart to OrangeFox Recovery).
4) Done! You can now flash latest Magisk version. ^^

Hey there. Thanks for this. Do I need to flash the VBMeta file also when I follow this? Would you mind sending a link to the latest official stuff, just wanna make sure I got the right things!

You normally don't need to flash VBMeta file.
- Official TWRP => https://dl.twrp.me/davinci/
- Latest OrangeFox (actually "R10.1_1" because "R10.1_2" is a broken version) => https://files.orangefox.tech/OrangeFox-Stable/davinci/
EDIT: Flash "R10.1_1" version over bad "R10.1_2" version if you already downloaded/flashed via my previous MEGA link.

Sorry but this is not teally true - or maybe it's the case for custom roms and/or custom twrps
Using (not alone, you can find several peopke reporting the same):
-QFJEUXM 11m0.4.0 (Global, Stable,v Android 10)
-Official TWRP 3.3.1-0-davinci
Just flash that twrp through fastboot, do not wipe or fornat anything (vbmeta, internal storage, whatever), you will not loose anything and everything will work
And the same holds if twrp is replaced by orangefox (since recently, using R10.1_2)
Eg, when booting to twrp, you will enter your pin/password you use in system for unlocking the screen - and twrp will recognize and work with your encrypted Internal memory (so again, without formatting data, wiping vbmeta or whatever)
However, if you want to use some custom roms whose installation requires to format or wipe something, and/ot to use some custom twrps, that's another story (but not a problem in miui or in the official twrp)

Because the twrp .IMG file was built only for pie. For Android 10 you will have to use this https://mega.nz/file/1HRAWYKQ#V9OmPxSy3r06qmW8uGszSEBp4qOBJMbmvsaCow2mTJw
Once it is flashed you can use the standard twrp or orangefox or shrp recovery.zip if you want to keep a custom recovery installed

Oooo finally... Gonna test this out when I get home later.
Just to check, what happens if i flash and i get bootloop? How do I recover? By flashing the entire MIUI rom from official site?
Okay Im sure im being a noob... But err...
I wasnt able to mount data...
I tried to mount and install MAGISK via USB-OTG mounting and i get permission denied for system and vendor (and also Data unable to mount)
EDIT2: Oh cool... despite the errors Magisk got installed! Nice!

Hello, will there be more development for this terminal? and the note 10 lite thread? Thank you

Let us hope so.

I would like to apologize in advance as I am a noob when it comes to the recent changes made by Google to android. So on a lot of the recent devices launched with android 10, an essential step before flashing Magisk is to disable the vbmeta partition by flashing the "vbmeta.img" using a fastboot command with the --disable-verify and --disable-verification argument. My question is that is the "vbmeta.img" modified by developers or is this the same identical file found in the stock firmware files?
I do apologize if this is the wrong thread but there's not many resources online or even on xda for this device.

Why its in mi note 10 general section? Isnt right to do separately section for mi note 10 lite since there is nothing in common just name.

Nowadays you have to unmount Data and mount vendor (just in case for Vendor) before flashing Magisk. Mounting data does not let Magisk install via TWRP. Follow the this process, same install process with the Mi Note 10, and assuming the Mi note 10 Lite. The reason why is because of encryption.
Update: 5/16/2020
1) Flash lastest TWRP unofficial 3.31-4 mauronofrio using Command prompt using the - fastboot flash recovery [XXXX].img. Note: it's easier to just rename the recover image to "twrp"
2) Then - fastboot boot [XXXX].img to reboot into TWRP recovery.
3) In my experience for thr Mi Note 10 that is, the reboot to RECOVERY did not happened, so instead i pressed - volume up and power button at the same time for thr phone to reboot until you see the boot splash screen, hold the two buttons for another 3 seconds ... and then let go of power button and then TWRP recovery will show up.
4) Ok...so first things first... flash the VBMETA PATCHER like the OP says on first page --> that way you don't lose TWRP after flashing the Rom and MAGISK. After install, reboot to RECOVERY. ***This is only if OP asks to flash VBMETA PATCHER, otherwise skip to Step 5***
5) Now....go to FORMAT DATA (Warning: DON'T use advanced wipe)... Instead, go to the FORMAT DATA, type in yes and press ok. Then go back to main menu, and reboot to RECOVERY again.
6) Now you can access your internel memory when connecting to USB... You can import the two neccesary files --> Xiaomi.EU and MAGISK 20.4. Now Flash the Rom and when flash MAGISK, make sure you unmount DATA and mount VENDOR to avoid flash error. After unticking DATA, you can now install Magisk.
7) Now you can go to REBOOT, and press SYSTEM, and the phone will boot to Xiaomi EU 11 or 12, etc. just follow this process and enjoy your ROM. ?
Note: When updating, flash EU rom and Magisk, dont forget to unmount Data when flashing Magisk. You can probably disable decryption because that is why you can't mount Data when flashing Magisk. **Just don't ask me about it because I normally don't flash Disable Decyption often.

The root and flash process is basically the same process as the Mi 9T/K20, Mi Max 3, Mi Note 10 since decryption is now a common thing with Android 10... except for the VBmeta.zip, which is new and necessary to flash, as long as you follow the directions..you'll be fine.

Same here, i was on the Mi 9T before, I didnt understood the whole new flashing process and carefully updating from EU Rom to AOSP Roms and back, I think i was messing with with thwe wipe and change partition feature (f2fs to ext 4 with an EU Rom) - then the Mi 9T bricked big time. Never recovered after that, luckily got it refunded for it but not many may have that second chance. After learning how to flash propeely and root, ect. I try to help out here when needed and ask too. I just got my Mi Note 10 2 weeks ago and rooted a week ago. So if anything, am willing to help out and repeat the following flash process or any changes in the future and feedback on future Roms.

Was thinking about which rom to use... does xiaomi.eu is stille faster with providing updates? what about the situation with OTA with that.
Now I have the phone with global rom, I want at least flash the EEA rom. But I also know that at some point i want to root, install magisk and get nice features. Still don't want to update manually everytime for an update...

will be watching this thread with much interest..
I recently bought this device (Global version) for use here in Australia.
my first time owning a Xiaomi - quite happy with it so far.
would be nice to have the themeing stuff work properly - I have used MIUI based ROMs back a LOoonggg time ago, in the days of the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus etc.
used to have a new ROM flashed every couple of days lol, back then. But recent years I've stopped all that, no cool ROMs no snazzy kernels TWRP no nothing not even root lol, very boring!
anyway thanks for posting I hope to try this sometime soon

Install Magisk without permanent TWRP - is it possible?

I just finished reading a thread on another Redmi forum, here on XDA, about rooting a Redmi S2 without permanent TWRP flash.
Do you think it's possible to successfully apply the same steps on MIUI 11 Global Stable Redmi 7A (using the proper boot.img)?
Things needed :
- Unlocked Bootloader
- PC with ADB and Fastboot installed
- boot.img of your miui rom. You can grab it (open with winRar) from fastboot firmware (.tgz) xiaomi redmi S2. Download the firmware file in xiaomi site or in this section thread. The version are reccomended to be the same as your current miui version.
- Magisk Manager.apk
1. Open Magisk Manager
2. Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your boot.img file
3. Magisk Manager will now patch your boot image, and store it in Internal Storage/Download/patched_boot.img
4. Copy the patched boot image to your PC. Place it in Minimal ADB & Fastboot directory.
5. Flash the patched boot image to your device. Here is the command :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. If adb say "Okay" twice, mean it succesfully.
Type : fastboot reboot
7. Wait your phone to reboot.

yes i understand but what would be the goal? what you dont like or are afraid that you dont want the recovery is it because OTA updates? or??? you can try to root it and then reflash the stock recovery.img and apply a patched boot image could work idnk cause i have already done a lot to get mine working with latest update and i don't really want to go threw all the backups again

custom recovey doesn't replace rom

indeed what you descripe is the official and recommended root method. TWRP is just for nandroid backup (not really needed since Migrate Backup and Magisk Modules can flash straight from android without TWRP at all), therefore the Magisk.zip is just for traditional reasons. Many devices don't even have TWRP (or with no working encryption support)

We no longer recommend installing Magisk through custom recoveries on modern devices. The custom recovery installation method exists mostly for legacy support
