Download and install the latest TWRP Recovery for Redmi Note 8
The Redmi Note 8 was a surprise inclusion to the list of Xiaomi phones eligible for Android 11. Not many people believed the news when we first reported it, but there’s no room for doubt now, as the first Android 11 build for the device has already been released. However, the build is only available for the Chinese ROM users participating in the closed beta test. That makes it nearly impossible to side-load the ROM, except you’ve got the latest TWRP Recovery for Redmi Note 8.
TWRP ( Team Win Recovery Project) is an open-source custom recovery image for Android-based phones. It allows users to install third-party firmware and back up their current system, which are functions that stock recovery images don’t support.
The latest TWRP Recovery for Redmi Note 8 is essential for those that will install the Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 closed beta ROM. It’s also recommended for those that’ll flash the EU weekly ROM. This current TWRP version can decrypt data after flashing Android 11, which is the reason why you should have it installed on your Redmi Note 8.
