Q: Does this recovery work with <INSERT ROM NAME HERE>?
A: I use Xiaomi.eu latest stable rom, the recovery is tested with that rom by me, and when released, everything should be working, unless stated otherwise. I don't support weekly roms(beta) and I can't test with other roms as Grus is my daily driver. For every other rom, use the Telegram group for support. You are welcome to report bugs, but expect no ETA.

Until now most people recommended the Chinese twrp for muiu Roms, and another one for gsi or non-MIUI Roms.
Is your twrp capable of dealing with both?
And what about encryption... Do I still need to format internal storage when I switch from MIUI to custom Rom or from one MIUI to another (for example, from xiaomi.eu to Masik MIUI)?
Thanks in advance for your time answering my questions
I am currently using this with xiaomi.eu rom
The internal storage encryption problem is due to the kernel security date. If you install a kernel (or rom or recovery containing a different kernel from what you have)with higher security patch than what you actually have, the encryption keys get automatically updated and you can decrypt that storage only with that kernel. With TWRP this is not an issue, as long as you don't use the fastboot boot command. Anyway, in this recovery there are included zips to backup and restore internal storage to usb_otg so you can backup everything if switching roms. Always remember to copy TWRP backups out(or backup directly to usb_otg) because these scripts do not backup TWRP folder.

sorry, but what is the problem ?. I've never had this problem with other xiaomy cell phones. Through scripts I can backup and restore?
Twrp does not have official support to backup internal storage. Our device does not have sdcard. Standard backup works perfectly

Where did you get that bootimg patcher? It's an older version of no-verity-opt-encrypt (official signed downloads) but all they did was replace
Code:
dm verity and forced encryption
disabler by jcadduono
with...
Code:
Universal Boot.img patcher By Rajdip/Ronti
<_______________<
Anyways, no-verity-opt-encrypt is only necessary if you are not flashing SuperSU as SuperSU makes the same changes that no-verity-opt-encrypt does.

MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod. It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch, once they are ported to that device. Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
Features:
* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs
* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM
* Boot from USB drive attached via OTG cable
You can also watch a video which shows it in action.
Warning!
It _is_ dangerous. This whole thing is basically one giant hack - none of these systems are made with multibooting in mind. It is no longer messing with data partition or boot sector, but it is possible that something goes wrong and you will have to flash factory images again. Make backups. Always.
Installation
Firstly, there are videos on youtube. If you want, just search for "MultiROM installation" on youtube and watch those, big thanks to all who made them. There is also an awesome article on Linux Journal.
You can install it either from MultiROM Manager app or from this guide:
MultiROM has 3 parts you need to install:
MultiROM - download the ZIP file from second post and flash it in recovery.
Modified recovery - download the IMG file from second post and use fastboot or Flashify app to flash it.
Patched kernel - You can use either one of the stock ones in second post or third-party kernels which include the patch, you can see list in the second post. Download the ZIP file and flash it in recovery.
You current rom will not be erased by the installation.
Download links are in the second post.
Adding ROMs
1. Android
Go to recovery, select Advanced -> MultiROM -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm. As for the space, clean installation of stock 4.2 after first boot (with dalvik cache generated and connected to google account) takes 676mb of space.
Using USB drive
During installation, recovery lets you select install location. Plug in the USB drive, wait a while and press "refresh" so that it shows partitions on the USB drive. You just select the location (extX, NTFS and FAT32 partitions are supported) and proceed with the installation.
If you wanna use other than default FAT32 partition, just format it in PC. If you don't know how/don't know where to find out how, you probably should not try installing MultiROM.
If you are installing to NTFS or FAT32 partition, recovery asks you to set image size for all the partitions - this cannot be easilly changed afterward, so choose carefully. FAT32 is limited to maximum of 4095MB per image - it is limitation of the filesystem, I can do nothing about that.
Installation to USB drives takes a bit longer, because the flash drive is (usually) slower and it needs to create the images, so installation of Ubuntu to 4Gb image on my pretty fast USB drive takes about 20 minutes.
Enumerating USB drive can take a while in MultiROM menu, so when you press the "USB" button in MultiROM, wait a while (max. 30-45s) until it searches the USB drive. It does it by itself, no need to press something, just wait.
Updating/changing ROMs
1. Primary ROM (Internal)
Flash ROM's ZIP file as usual, do factory reset if needed (it won't erase secondary ROMs)
Go to Advanced -> MultiROM in recovery and do Inject curr. boot sector.
2. Secondary Android ROMs
If you want to change the ROM, delete it and add new one. To update ROM, follow these steps:
Go to Advanced -> MultiROM -> List ROMs and select the ROM you want to update.
Select "Flash ZIP" and flash ROM's ZIP file.

Nah...we r using one device for development so it takes time to work and test on it.
May this guide will help others
EDIT: Nevermind, found my mistake, There IS an uninstaller zip
I dont want to be a spoilsport but think twice before installing multirom, If you want to remove it in the future you need an unistaller zip which never gets released for unofficial devices. I did this with my mi pad and i really regret installing multirom as i dont want it anymore but cant remove it. So just be sure that you really want it.
Please correct me if i have missed out anything or i am wrong in my statements.

It is not important which slot is active... The main thing is you have to make the slot active which contains the system file.
After mounting system if y see your system folder empty that's mean this slot is not containing system just set it from a-b or b-a depends on condition.

How to install TWRP recovery by TingyiChen ?
When I flash TWRP installer and I reboot to recovery I stuck on TWRP Logo screen
is there anyone facing issue that trusted face is removed from Smart Lock even when i flash it separately or flash magisk module for it?
All I've got are bootloops after several attempts to install this rom, even tried a lot of combinations but is still not working...
*fastboot boot twrp.img
*factory reset and wipe system, cache, dalvik
*install the rom zip
*change slot
*change slot again
*all previous steps but without change slots... several times
idk what I'm doing wrong, could anyone give me a hand please

Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is an open-source software custom recovery image for Android-based devices. It provides a touchscreen-enabled interface that allows users to install third-party firmware and back up the current system, functions often unsupported by stock recovery images. It is, therefore, often installed when rooting Android devices, although it isn't dependent on a device being rooted to be installed.
******************************************
Hi there,
This is the official build (beta) based on TWRP sources and xiaomi blobs ... fully working !
(Mi 9 Lite / Mi CC9)
!!! IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM, IF YOU DON'T READ AND FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS, OR IF YOU FLASH SOMETHING OR DO A MANIPULATION I DIDN'T MENTION HERE !!!
THIS RECOVERY DOESN'T SUPPORT ANY ZIP MOD/ROM THAT DOESN'T USE SYSTEM_ROOT MOUNT. CHECK OFFICIAL TWRP HOMEPAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT NEW A/B DEVICES FROM 2019
Installation Procedure (first time) :
- Unlock your bootloader D)
- Enable ADB from your Official MIUI Developer option
- Plug your USB cable to your Windows PC and type :
adb reboot bootloader
- type then :
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-pyxis-final (auto-decrypt).img (rename your image just by twrp.img)
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot (keep Vol+ pressed until you see TWRP splash)
- Wait for decrypting ... (if already you set a lockscreen pattern or a fingerprint)
- Format Data (button on the right) + Type "yes" on the keyboard popup
- Reboot
- To boot TWRP from MIUI : reboot menu + keep Volume UP pressed.
- To boot from phone off : power button + Volume UP
TWRP can now auto-decrypt your crypted /data partition so you can make backup with no issue.
This is a big fix that prevent to loose your fingerprint and pattern ...
For MIUI users, you must flash the fstab.zip fix after flashing your MIUI rom !!!
Enjoy ! :good:
Update : 2019-11-05
-version : 3.3.1-0
-busybox update
-terminal fixed
-stable and optimized : setting lockscreen pattern and fingerprint on the first boot is no longer needed !
BE SURE WHEN YOU WIPE YOUR DATA, YOU KEEP THE "4 FOLDERS BELOW + .layout_version". THESE ARE YOU ENCRYPTION DATA. IF YOU DELETE THEM, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESTORE YOUR DATA BACKUP UNTIL YOU FORMAT YOUR DATA AGAIN.
TRICK TO SAVE YOUR LIFE : ALWAYS KEEP YOUR BACKUPS ON THE EXTERNAL STORAGE !!!

To prevent encryption, go to twrp homescreen and choose "format data" and type "yes"... but before that, make your data backup on the external-sd ! (the first thing i do on all my devices)
Please use the official beta build !

I'm working on a GSI patch. The builds (AOSP-PixelExperience-LineageOS) boot but stuck on bootanimation.
For information, our device is treble ready : so the builds to use are arm64-ab (yes ab not aonly) !
Also suitable for the Mi 9 Lite?

It's a surprise to be ABdevice. Some people on our telegram group already tested havoc builds and booted but had some bugs on 4g and offline charging.

vbmeta means verified boot signature. the vbmeta.img provided here bypass this verification !

It depends on the kernel used. You can modify the kernel as you want to make it aonly or A/B. Here, the stock kernel provided by xiaomi is for A/B buils. That's it ! I want to make a patch so to keep the stock kernel untouched ! (Modded kernels are never perfect)

you can't access to the internal storage content. better to decrypt by formatting data !

I will flash this version, thanks gwolfu.
If I understand correctly it is pre-root and also it includes the gapps?
Nice. Glad to see CrD back once again.

this is not pre-rooted and no prebuilt gapps
crDroid will never have prebuilt gapps
for root with Magisk, see third post
Is it necessary to flash Magisk? Is it working without root?
Thank you for answering

No need to install magisk unless you want root or to install any magisk mods
