I am trying to install a custom on my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (first timer). However, I am facing a difficulty as my phone is showing me the error "Device Unable to Boot, Error - mdtp image is corrupted".

System I am using: Linux Mint 20.2

Things I did:

  1. Downloaded TWRP and ROM file.
  2. Unlocked the bootloader.
  3. Booted into TWRP by running "fastboot boot twrp*.img" in the terminal when fast screen appears on my phone. [I tried out this command "fastboot flash recovery twrp*.img" before running the above command, but failed and showed remote: partition table doesn't exist]

[So, it worked out well. However, I forgot to create backups]

  1. Wiped "Dalvik/ART Cache", Data, System, Internal Storage.

  2. Went to "install" and tried to flash the zip file of the ROM. However, it gave an error. [Probably, error 7, don't know what that mean]

  3. Then, tried to reboot and carry out the same process from the step 3, it gave me the error and I am stuck.

Now, I cannot do anything. Can you please help me out.

Thank You.

  • @alecxs, I have tried the above command, but, getting this error message: "adb: error: failed to get feature set: no devices/emulators found". Aug 14, 2021 at 11:27
  • use official TWRP (have double checked adb will work)

  • Yes, I am using the official TWRP, but not working... Aug 14, 2021 at 13:20
  • 'adb kill-server' and re-plug cable until you can see it on 'adb devices'

flash vbmeta (if your device has verified boot) and disable verified boot before flashing custom recovery by the following command.

fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

(ofc get vbmeta img for ur device yourself)

then flash recovery using the following command

fastboot flash recovery <recovery file name.img

then try flashing rom, if still fails, flash vendor partition in twrp before flashing rom

  • How does this fix error 7 in TWRP while flashing ROM "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file"?
