Suggestion and Help

Hello to all
im used to modding of google nexus (all models), since I took this op3t I have only problems....basic problems, need some help!
this is my way:
unlocked bootloader
flashed latest twrp, and make a full backup
all wipe cache, dalvik, data and system
flash resurrection remix, opengapps x64 micro, supersu
reboot
whenever I try to reboot it always comes back on the screen TWRP, where i am wrong?
I tried to flash the rom via adb sideload, but on reboot tells me: os absent or not installed, but the flash result was ok.
then I noticed that putting the TWRP recovery, internal memory I went from 64 gb to 20 gb, its normal?
I kindly ask a little help or if there is a guide for this phone, it is impossible that I can not flash a custom rom on my op3t?
thanks for help or suggestions

About the storage I do not know, about the booting into TWRP I had the same problem.
How I fixed it was turn it off completely (like 10-15 seconds pushing the power button) and then start the phone. It should then boot from the ROM.

Disable encryption on MiMax2 after Dot OS Install

Hello All,
I was on Stock MIUI 9 Global ROM (rooted with TWRP 3.2.1.0 OFFICAL) which was getting slower by the day. One day all of a sudden, I started getting ads on my lockscreen which was the final straw. So I installed dot OS 7.1.1 for Mi Max2. When setting up dot OS, I setup the lock screen pattern without knowing that it was turning ENCRYPTION ON.
I got bad sound in dot OS 7.1.1 ROM (tinny sound with echo), I was not happy so I did a full wipe of all partitions EXCEPT internal storage. and then installed Xiaomi EU ROM 9.5 Stable.
The issue:
TWRP and Normal Android BootUp on Xioami EU asks me for entering pattern every single boot. It asks for: Enter pattern to start android. On TWRP recovery boot: TWRP asks me to enter pattern and then decrypts phone.
How can I DISABLE Encryption without doing a full wipe + format of data partion?
Just to confirm: I remember the pattern, my phone works perfectly in Xiaomi EU ROM, I just want to disable encryption without doing a full WIPE+FORMAT+SETUP of my phone.
Thanks.

Honestly I didn't find any OTHER WAY without a Full Wipe!
TBH.. I'm kinda glad that someone else had this scenario.. :cyclops:
(Cause I had)
Here's how I overcame this issue..
1. First I Cleared everything on my phone using twrp and wiped everything **literally everything**
2. Then using fastboot on my PC I did this:
fastboot boot -recovery-( fastboot boot twrp.img)
[This will temporarily boot into TWRP]
3. And I wiped everything all over again
[Don't ask me why I did that but it worked for me]:silly:
4. Installed TWRP again using fastboot
5. Flashed a new ROM!
Hope this helps you!
Cheers mate!:fingers-crossed:

Thanks for that. I do NOT want to do a full wipe as I don't have access to Windows PC to do this (I'm on a MAC and don't have adb and drivers for MI MAX2).
TBH, the pattern is very annoying especially on restart as I have to wait for it and then wait some more for restart.
Worse case scenario, I'll a full backup of /data internal storage to an SD CARD, WIPE ALL Parittions and try again.
I'm almost tempted to reinstall dotOS and then NOT select a pattern when setting it up, you think that'll work?

Thanks a lot!
I was having a problem installing couple of ROMs with hanging on logo screen.
I was wiping everything and nothing was helping until I formatted data partition in twrp, it is not only wipe, it is format where you have to confirm writing 'yes' if you really want to.
Then everything started to work!
Thanks again!

Bricked unlocked Mi5

Hello,
Would appreciate your help with this.
My device was officially unlocked, used to have lineage installed.
Once I've tried to install the recovery official global MIUI 9.1 (from
thread-1001529-1-1.html at en.miui.com) I got to a boot loop and now I can only boot to TWRP or to fastboot screen.
in TWRP, when I choose reboot, it shows me a message saying: "no OS installed!, are you sure you want to reboot?"
Would advanced wiping (other than Dalvik/ART cache , Cache & System) might help?
Any other way to go here?
Thanks,
Buli

Sounds more like you need to reinstall OS.

Strange brick(plz help)

[SOLVED]
So, I have a xiaomi mi 8 and recently I was tryin to install a custom rom(now I understand that I should make a full wipe, but my problem is not there). I tried to install miui.eu pie version to update it to miui.eu 11 but I got a strange brick. The phone shows only boot logo, sometimes it reboots and shows me that logo again. But I cant enter recovery or fastboot. I dont know what to do.
So the solution is edl flash, if it's ARB, THERE IS NO OTHER SOLUTION

If you can't put it on recovery or fastboot then you'll have to try with edl mode, the problem is that you have to take it apart, tho I would try again fastboot and recovery a few times

The devices on boot shows Unlocked sign on the bottom of the screen? If it is boot on twrp recovery and go to Wipe Button and format data, type yes and then press enter, after that reboot to recovery and then reflash miui 11 rom and wipe data, dalvik, cache, then reboot your device and will boot to miui without any problem, i had the same problem on my mi 8 with android q miui 11 rom!

flash china rom using miflash tool,instal twrp,format data if internal shows as 0mb,direct install eu rom...
no need to wipe anything

Solved
So, the problem was the ARB system, I just found a guy that has an authorized xiaomi account and flashed via edl. There wasn't any other solution, thank you guys, this website is really user-friendly. Now I want a cool android q rom, but not sure about aosp projects(pixelexp, havoc(i get error 7, don't know why), maybe ressurection remix) or miui(such as eu, miroom, maybe masik(don't know alot about this one). I don't know(((. Anyway, thank you guys one more time))))))

Use the official and latest twrp recovery!

help i get this brick.. i just stuck On Mi logo without Unlock Text. sometime srestart but still stuck in Mi Logo Without Unlock Text. cant go to fastboot or twrp. please help me

Can't access twrp 3.4.0.1, H870

Hello,
I've installed twrp 3.4.0.1 via fastboot, but after I select yes when i'm asked about erasing my data, the phone just boot up normally without deleting any of my data, but does not enter twrp either. Tried 3.4.0.0 too, no luck. Only 3.3.1.0 worked, but when I try to backup it says something like 'can't mount system partition' and some other errors. I think that version is too old for my rom, so I'm afraid to use it for backup/flash. My phone is LG G6 H870, Android 9, software version V30b. The phone is not rooted, the bootloader is unlocked. Tried to erase cache partition and install twrp 3.4.01 again, didn't work. I can't install Skyhawk or Orangefox becuase I can't use twrp.
Is anybody facing this problem too?
Thanks!

Bootloader unlocked?

HI You need to use OrangeFox recovery or SkyHawk. If you plan to go to 10, then you need SkyHawk. And I think SkyHawk is maintained but OrangeFox not.
Links:
SkyHawk https://sourceforge.net/projects/pa-g6/files/Releases/SHRP/20.07.2020/H870/
OrangeFox https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/recovery-orangefox-recovery-project-t3943594

So can I install SkyHawk via fastboot over stock recovery without installing twrp beforehand? I see there are multiple files in the shyhawk zip, should I only extract the recovery img and install it via fastboot? I'm kinda new to this, thanks!

HI. It is made to flash in TWRP (same as OrangFox) So I really don't know if that recovery.img flashing through Fastboot works. Never tried, sorry.
Maybe someone knows though.

Ok, thanks, I'll try to find a solution, or maybe I'll just wait for the next version of twrp.

You should try installing the recovery and immediately installing any custom rom, when i flashed twrp the first time i had to do it several times cause somehow it got "erased" every time i noot the stock OS.
Ig you don't want to install a custom rom try right after installing twrp and on the fastboot screen to reboot to recovery with (Volume - ) button and power.
I think the idea is not letting the Stock os boot
Also that error. i have the same problem, the only moment it doesn't appear is when you wipe all data with the "Format Data" option inside "Wipe" menu in twrp.
After you boot to the OS once and go back to recovery it will come again everytime you flash something.
Not sure if its a problem or not, because i've dirty installed some updates and also installed gapps and magisk even with that error.
Im currently in A10 using Havoc and NikGapps.
TWRP 3.2.3-0

Yes, I know I have to install twrp again every time I let the stock rom boot, but the only version of twrp working is 3.2.3 and I think that was released before the G6 received official Android 9 update, so that's why I'm not very confident using it. I've tried to enter recovery immediately after I've installed it, so I don't think that's the problem.

I have the same problem on the LG G6 H870. I won't get to TWRP. I tried several versions of TWRP and nothing.
Edit.
This twrp is functional:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=289997
After installation using fastboot, restart directly to twrp using power+vol. down.

Finally i've successfully flashed Skyhawk using TWRP 3.3.1, so thanks everyone for advice!
Still couldn't make official TWRP 3.4.0/3.4.0.1 work.

Hi, I don't know if this goes here, I hope you can help me, I update twrp from version 3.1 to 3.4 and now I can't access twrp, how can I fix it?
Hello again, I answer myself, and if it helps someone else, using adb fastboot with twrp 3.2 Melina solves it and twrp works perfectly again.
