When is it actually necessary to wipe the boot partition?
Anyone?
Never really unless your boot partition is corrupted or a ROM you are flashing has a custom one/requires you too.

Recovery does not match the formatting of your data partition. Get the correct TWRP or format your data partition correctly.

Boot partition in le2 cannot be wiped. As for your bootloader relocking problem, flash twrp and then allow it to perform system modifications. Then wipe data. Then wipe system. If that doesn't work, then format data to ext2 using mkef2s and then for mat data again using ext4. Then format data ,system , cache and dalvik cache only. Your bootloader will not relock by itself again. If it still does, then flash lazyflasher to disable dm-verity and unencrypt phone

Are you able to boot to recovery(twrp)?
If yes, try flashing the latest twrp image using twrp on your phone. Then repeat steps mentioned. Finally, flash stock ROM Zip
Ive bricked the bastard but will continue
Is the red LED flashing or stuck when you let it charge?
As the title suggest, I fail to boot into TWRP.
I have unlocked the phone and flashed TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/raphael/twrp-3.3.1-0-raphael.img).
I could boot into TWRP using Power + Volume Up , wiped everything (except vendor) and pushed a custom rom to the internal storage.
I restarted the phone for some reason and cannot boot into TWRP anymore. Whatever I do, I end up in fastboot. Tried to flash various versions of TWRP with the same result.
Can you guys help me out?
Edit: I flashed the corresponding Xiaomi fastboot image and repeated the process, same problem.
Edit: Solved by repeating again.

In future, don't wipe everything. You should only need to do the factory reset in TWRP, which will automatically wipe data, cache and dakvik. If you are flashing over MIUI then you will also need to format data.
There is almost never any need to wipe anything else in TWRP when doing normal custom ROM flashing.
Hello, as stated in the title, I'd like to know if there's a way to update a custom ROM while being encrypted without formatting the data partition. I tried to update several times, but every time I got a recovery bootloop until I wiped the data partition. The only way to avoid this was to totally decrypt my device. Since I'd like to be encrypted, I'd like to know if there's a way to be encrypted and to dirty flash a custom ROM (from TWRP) without resulting in a recovery bootloop. Thank you in advance!

Try removing lockscreen security before flashing an update.
Hello guys
I tried to flash my K20 Pro today with a custom ROM and somehow ended up with a bootloop (I wiped everything pretty much, Data, Vendor (which was probably the mistake, dunno), System, caches, all that). So, I went ahead and flashed the stock ROM through the MiFlash tool, and I can use the stock ROM. After that, I flash TWRP and repeat the process. Wipe, flash, reboot. And I get the bootloop.
Bootloader is unlocked as should be.
Anyone know what's causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Just noticed that after this last attempt where it bootlooped into the recovery, everything's encrypted, don't know if that helps but it's there.
Format data

Had it running on the fastboot MIUI ROM, flashed TWRP, wiped caches, system and data. Then data again. Storage shows up in 3 "partitions" and I can't paste files to them. When I try to reboot back to TWRP it just goes to fastboot and after reflashing TWRP, it still will boot to fastboot instead of the just flashed recovery. Using fastboot oem reboot-recovery if that helps.
After the wipe, doing fastboot boot twrp.img will fire up a "Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error"
Format is not the same that wipe
From MIUI
Install TWRP.
Boot TWRP.
Go to wipe menu and factory reset.
Return to wipe menu and select format data.
At no point do you need to go into the advanced wipe menu.
Return to the main menu.
Go to boot menu.
Select (re)boot recovery to allow TWRP to correctly mount the newly formatted data partition.
Copy across the files you want to flash, then flash them.
