TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is one of the most popular custom recoveries available for Android devices. It allows users to flash custom ROMs, create full system backups, install Magisk for root access, and perform advanced maintenance tasks. In this guide, you will learn how to install TWRP Recovery on Xiaomi smartphones safely and correctly.



TWRP is a touch-based custom recovery environment that replaces the stock recovery on Android devices. It provides advanced features such as:

• Full NANDroid backups
• Custom ROM installation
• ZIP file flashing
• Magisk root installation
• Data, cache, and system partition management
• Device restoration from backups

Before installing TWRP on your Xiaomi device, make sure you complete the following requirements:

1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Charge your device to at least 60%.
3. Install ADB and Fastboot tools on your computer.
4. Download the correct TWRP image file for your Xiaomi model.
5. Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking in Developer Options.
6. Back up important data before proceeding.

Xiaomi devices require an unlocked bootloader before flashing custom recoveries.

1. Open Settings > About Phone.
2. Tap MIUI Version seven times.
3. Return to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options.
4. Enable:
   • OEM Unlocking
   • USB Debugging

1. Sign in with your Xiaomi account.
2. Bind your account in Mi Unlock Status.
3. Download and launch the Mi Unlock Tool on your PC.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
5. Wait for the unlock period if required by Xiaomi.

Download the latest TWRP image that matches your Xiaomi device model. Using an incorrect recovery image may cause boot issues or installation failures.


Rename the downloaded file to:



Kod:
twrp.img


Place the file inside your ADB and Fastboot folder.

1. Power off the device.
2. Press and hold:
   • Volume Down + Power Button
3. Release the buttons when the Fastboot screen appears.
4. Connect the phone to your PC via USB cable.

Open Command Prompt or Terminal inside the ADB folder and run:




Kod:
fastboot devices


If your device serial number appears, the connection is successful.



Use the following command:




Kod:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img


For devices with A/B partitions, use:




Kod:
fastboot boot twrp.img


Wait until the flashing process completes successfully.



Immediately after flashing, boot into recovery mode to prevent the stock recovery from overwriting TWRP.


Use:




Kod:
fastboot reboot recovery


Or manually hold:




Kod:
Volume Up + Power Button


until the TWRP screen appears.



When TWRP launches for the first time:

1. Swipe to allow modifications.
2. If data is encrypted, enter your device password.
3. Create a NANDroid backup before making further changes.

To root your Xiaomi device:

1. Download the latest Magisk ZIP file.
2. Transfer it to your phone.
3. Open TWRP.
4. Tap Install.
5. Select the Magisk ZIP.
6. Swipe to flash.
7. Reboot the system.

Boot directly into TWRP immediately after flashing and install the appropriate recovery retention package if required.



This usually happens due to encryption. Format Data from TWRP and reboot back into recovery.

• Verify device compatibility.
• Reflash the correct recovery image.
• Restore a backup if available.

• Install Xiaomi USB drivers.
• Change USB cable or port.
• Reinstall ADB and Fastboot tools.

• Flash custom ROMs easily
• Gain root access with Magisk
• Create complete device backups
• Restore the system after failures
• Install custom kernels and modifications

Installing TWRP Recovery on Xiaomi devices unlocks a wide range of customization options. Whether you want to root your device, flash custom ROMs, or create reliable backups, TWRP is an essential tool for Android enthusiasts. Always use a recovery image designed specifically for your Xiaomi model and keep backups before making system modifications.
