pmos docs be like "make sure to back up /boot and /system with twrp if you want to restore android later!" and then don't say how to restore that

@jeder i presume by flashing twrp to recovery, but i have no idea if flashing pmos doesn't involve changing the partition table; i forwarded your post to a frien

@mi @Xyn twrp is untouched from before flashing pmos, however pmos flash itself changes partition table quite much

@jeder @mi from what I know, PMOS does not touch the partition table at all(as in, it usually flashes the kernel to the boot partition and the rootfs to either system or userdata). To which device did you flash?

@jeder @mi yeah, the docs do not seem to mention anything about the partition table being modified. Are you unable to boot into TWRP whatsoever?

@jeder @mi well, the most easiest option to do what is just to download this fastboot-flashable stock firmware for your phone, put your phone in fastboot, run ./flash-all.sh and just wait.

cdn-ota.azureedge.net/V11.0.2.0.OADMIXM/scorpio_global_images_V11.0.2.0.OADMIXM_20191023.0000.00_8.0_global_c8b7caa59d.tgz (link extracted from this MIUI firmware tacker xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/scorpio/stable/V11.0.2.0.OADMIXM/)

@Xyn @mi altough, that won't just randomly lock the bootloader? i don't really have access to a windows machine, nor their cursed bootloader unlocker

@jeder @mi by flashing your phone using the "flash_all.sh" script, and NOT the "flash_all_lock.sh", your bootloader will remain unlocked. Also, there's an unofficial bootloader unlocking tool for Xiaomis for both Linux and Mac and it works awesome.
