Introduction
This is an unofficial build of TWRP for Redmi Note 7 Pro (violet). Differences with the official one include:
- Supports CAF-based wrappedkey encryption (decryption) properly (tested with MIUI 10.3.5.0)
- Supports decrypting devices that have screen lock set up after Android 9 May update, which introduced a new key derivation function.
- Mounts the system partition at /system_root as per AOSP standards. This makes the auto-backup scripts (e.g. GApps / Magisk survival script) work properly during updates, and you no longer need any 'patch' to flash GApps / Magisk properly. However, this may break some existing ROMs. See below FAQ section for details.
- Appended DTBO to the recovery image so it doesn't depend on the dtbo partition. No standalone DTBO image required.
Flashing instructions
- Download and extract the img file
- Reboot to fastboot mode
- fastboot flash recovery whatever_img_file_you_extracted.img
- Reboot and press Volume + to enter recovery
- DO NOT try to run 'fastboot boot recovery.img', it won't work.
- DO NOT flash the fcrypt disabler if you use my recovery. There is no need to do so, and it is possible to mess stuff up if you don't know what you are doing.
- You have to format the data partition if and ONLY IF:
1) You were not encrypted, now going to an encrypted state, or vice-versa OR
2) You were on a ROM other than MIUI that does not support "wrappedkey" (ROMs would often state it supports wrappedkey if it does), now going to a ROM that supports it'
