It’s been more than a week since the last update and I already feel like I’m missing quite a lot of information. There are so much more topics and ideas which I want to write about, but the last week or two I’ve been really busy on my daily job.

Before flashing TWRP Custom Recovery you must first unlock the bootloader. You must also have ADB drivers installed on your PC.
After installing the TWRP for the first time go to “Additional / Tools” > “Boot” > “Disable Verify”. By doing this you’ll disable the boot partition encryption, otherwise official MIUI ROM won’t start.
