TWRP cannot flash Magisk on Redmi 4x

I tried flash an Android phone with TWRP as its bootloader and it keep rejecting to install Magisk.
So this is how I solve it.
(Tested on 23 August 2018 on Redmi 4x AOSP Extended v5.7)

1. In TWRP, go to :
Home -> Mount -> select Cust (if not selected) -> Home


2. Then go back to main TWRP page, later:
Home -> Advanced ->Terminal -> run following commands
a. mount | grep cust
-> It will show something like this
/dev/block/mmcblk0xxx on /cust type ext4 .... -> copy the directory, and save it somewhere else.

b. umount /cust
-> go back to Home -> Mount -> uncheck Cust -> Home


c. Go back to Advanced ->Terminal -> run following commands
mount -t ext4 -o ro /dev/block/mmcblk0xxx /vendor


3. Finally go to Home -> Install and locate your magisk .zip file to flash it.

Note: What if you already format the storage due to TWRP keep asking for password to decrypt storage despite you never encrypt it in the first place.
(This is common bug in TWRP, always have your backup sorted out so it will be less painful)

Just connect your phone to PC during all those process above, later simply do:
adb push magisk.zip file /tmp  
What this command do is copying your magisk file to /tmp folder in your phone, then you can navigate from TWRP to this directory and start flashing your phone.

The 7 Deadly Diseases by Dr. William Edward Deming.

 Good advice to follow when it come to product development. I found this here: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyItForLife/comments/lx0fyn/i_asked_an_automotive_engineer_whats_the_secret/ The diseases are: Lack of constancy of purpose : You must remain focused on doing the right things because they are the right things to do for your customer and to achieve quality. ITSM is not a fad it is a way of behaving. Emphasis on short-term profits : Cutting costs can bring short-term profits and are easy to achieve. But cutting costs can only go on for so long, before you have cut to the bone and have nothing left to cut. Evaluation by performance, merit rating, or annual review of performance : Management by objectives ends up focusing on the objectives and not on the management. It is about “hitting the numbers” and not improvement. Mobility of management : When management changes jobs constantly there is no continuity or constancy of purpose. Each time a new leader comes in, the efforts of quality

Memilih Kamera Pertama Anda. Bahagian 2 Tambahan - Kamera Point and Shoot

Edisi Khas untuk kamera Point and Shoot. Penulis merasakan kamera jenis ini tidak mendapat perhatian yang baik dengan ciri yang kompak, ringan dan mudah dibawa. Kebanyakan keluaran lewat 2015 mempunyai spesifikasi yang bagus, setara dengan DSLR dan Mirrorless. Contoh Kamera Point and Shoot keluaran Sony yang terkini bernama Sony ZV-1 Saiz Sensor - Kebanyakan kamera sebegini sensor sebesar 1 inci sehingga APS-C.  Megapixel - Normalnya bermula 12 MP sehingga 26 MP. Hasil gambar juga baik, cuma kekurangan fungsi Penstabil (Stabiliser) menyebabkan kualiti gambar adalah bergantung kepada tetapan (setting) yang betul serta tangan pengambil gambar yang teguh. Saiz Kamera - Kerana saiz yang kompak, ia senang dibawa kemana-mana sahaja, tanpa memakan ruang pada beg mahupun poket. Saiz kecil juga nampak natural, tidak seakan menceroboh momen dengan saiz yang besar, membuatkan orang berasa tidak senang duduk. Versatil - Mempunyai kebolehan merakam video, jadi
