Hello everyone,
I have the strangest problem: every now and then after a reboot my phone displays the first time wizard and my phone is empy !
All apps, datas, etc... are gone like it's the first time I turned on my phone. The weird thing is that when I check into storage I can see that 25Gb are occupied (my datas).
Does anyone now how I can get my data back ?

Convert your data partition to ext4...f2fs currently have some issues....
How do I do that ? with TWRP ?
I noticed it also happens when I flash a new version of OpenGApps.

Its not a problem with gapps...in TWRP...Select Wipe Advanced Format and select ext4
are you on most up-to date TWRP? this issue should've been resolved in 3.0.4.1 or which ever is latest

It occurs when the rom has not been properly installed, wipe everything and install your rom freshly, it will resolve the problem.
However there are some bugs in 7.1.1 custom roms, when you update or backup your datas, you will lose some of your apps without data.

Hi. I would post this in froyomod topic but i can't because i'm new and stuff.
I know a lot of people have the exact opposite problem, but after i upgraded my froyomod to 2.7 my wi-fi won't turn off anymore.
I mean, i can turn it off but after a while it turns back on again. Even when the device is locked. I wouldn't mind my wi-fi on 24/7 but sometimes i need my phone for the whole day and if wi'fi is always on my battery won't last half the day.
Does anyone else have this problem? can it be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
Try flashing the Rom again and wiping both Cache Partition and
Dalvik cache. If it don't work, do a Nandroid backup and then a Factory reset and see what happens. If the problem is fixed, restore the Nandroid, make a backup of everything that's important and then do the factory reset again. This way you don't lose anything.
I tried flashing the rom again and the problem is still there, and since it was pissing me off i went back to froyomod 2.6, but guess what? My wi-fi turns on by itself on that version too...
So i guess the problem is on my device. I should try another rom and see how it goes.
Also, i did reset all the data and tried everything. This is really pissing me off.
Sounds like you have y5 on an ext partition

Sorry, but what does that mean? Can i fix it? I even tried formatting my SD Card completely but it didn't work. I had the same problem in all the roms i used.
Ah ok. That's pretty weird.
Y5 is an app that automatically connects to wifi networks but there is no setting to disable it.
Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
This is really weird since the only apps i use are facebook, twitter, and some others that don't update automatically.
Anyways, thanks for the help. I give up.
Hey guys,
I've had this problem for quite a time, but now I want to get rid of it.
The problem is that the upperleft time display freezes. It just keeps saysing the same time.
When I switch to 12-hour format and switch back to 24-hour format again, the time updates to the correct time, but then freezes again.
I tried some things, but no prevail.
Cheers,
joster222

Had you reflashed the ROM?

If you change the android version, you must wipe data. But if you don't want to lose it just make a backup.
So I've been having this strange problem and I am convinced there is no simple solution. Every time I wipe date and install a rom, I try to sign in to the Google account during setup, and I keep getting an error saying that there was a problem communicating with Google servers. I've done a factory reset, formatted everything, tried different RUUs, and nothing seems to work. I just can't sign in on a Sense 5.5 rom. So now I want to clear the phone completely, because there must be something that no form of wiping is touching. A stock RUU can't solve the problem and I don't know what can. I even tried using LTE instead of WiFi and still no luck. Does anyone have any clue about this?

I had the same thing. My solution was wipe everyithing except data and internal memory. After that no more errors

But I have wiped everything including internal storage and used usb-otg to install roms. Nothing works. Are you sure that will fix this?
EDIT: Can confirm that your recommendation doesn't work for me. I decided to flash a different rom (InsertCoin) and in this one I can sign in, but it won't sync, it just keeps saying "Google Sync error."

It did the trick for me. Also, I mount system in recovery before doing anything. I'm pretty new to this phone and never used any recovery except 4ext on my Desire and Evo so I can't be 100% sure, leaving data did the trick for me
I've tried a few new things so far. I used the mkfs.ext4 file to format the data partition as I think that's where the source of the issue lies. But I also used fastboot to format system. If this doesn't work then I don't know what else to to. I might be forced to run a GPe rom or some other android rom. I just strongly prefer sense.

whats happens if you start a new account
It won't work. I tried typing in random letters in to the user name and password box but it doesn't even try to connect.
Well I've got bad news. I managed to hard brick my device, so this issues I was having is not an issue for me anymore. But if anyone can help find a solution that would be appreciated as I'm sure someone else might be facing the same problem.

That's when you can't enter the bootloader anymore. You hold the power button and the lights on the bottom don't flash and it'll just vibrate a bit. But it's all good I got the phone replaced today. So then I installed the rom I was trying to install earlier (the one where I couldn't sign in to google) and I ended up having the same issue. So I think I'm gonna just use ARHD or something.
Running freedom OS
So long story short my phone was taking ages to turn on.
Then it got to the stage where it wouldnt go past the spinning round dots bits.
I got into recovery and I can still get in there but cannot mount data.
It worked like one time then didnt, password is correct.
So when I try boot the phone I get the message "your password is correct but your data is corrupt and you need to reset your phone"
I just want to know a) is there anyway to mount the data to copy it
b) dirty flash from as far as I can get into the recovery - no data mounted, to hopefully try just get phone on for long enough to get data off?
Your help much appreciated. Photos are a big one id like, and then of course apps and app data.
Thanks.

Hi, ok. let´s try a few things:
b) I think, when you are flashing rom again, there should be no troubles. Like you can see in the OP of freedom os,follow the instruction:
Can i dirty flash this rom ?
Yes you can, but you need to do a wipe system, cache and dalvik.
Obviously, if you can make a clean flash do it, it's better.
Don't dirty flash if your previous rom was not FreedomOS or OxygenOS.
a) mounting data is not possible in the moment for my understanding. But you can try to connect your phone to a pc or laptop and you can try to mount the whole phone from there - so you can save all the data. Hope it helps :fingers-crossed:

Thanks. So far lost pics and a wallet with $30k crypto in it. I have moved on and did a fresh install. Sick.

Sorry for your loss.
I would recommend you look into configuring Google Drive to automatically backup the important files and folders on your device. Real life-saver if it ever comes to it again.

Assuming you have all the required software tools(xiaomi flash tool, adb tools etc) and there is no issue with the internals of the device, follow the bellow:
1. Flash the device to the latest miui official global rom.
2. Flash the tremble edition of TWRP or orange recovery for the device via adb.
3. At the TWRP menu, before flashing the rom, make sure you wipe system, data, cache, vendor, dalvik partitions (see advanced wipe).
4. You can try the rom at https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-2/development/rom-pixel-experience-plus-t3984377 which is nice (personal opinion there are many more quality roms like havoc, lineage os, aosp etc) and give thanks to the developers! The least we all members can do.
Make sure you are careful in order to not brick the device and always have backup of your files. The responsibility of your device's well being remains to you alone.
If you face any issue or have questions, feel free to post to help you in any way we can.
thanks for answer, but I do all of that. First install global rom, after that flash treble twrp or orange fox, go to advanced option and wipe data, cache, vendor, system, dalvik.. after that flash rom and when finishing install, boot to system... then my phone starts, and boot in pie rom and I see start screen, but after 30-60 seconds phone freeze for 5 seconds and restart. Then again starts, and again freeze and restart... Only rom I can use two times without freezing and restarts is Potato pie rom, but I want to install some other... Trying installing and last firmware, and with or without gapps, and with or without magisk
I know how to install rom, doing all stuff corectly, nougat and oreo roms working perfectly, but pie roms not working... Also try and Android 10, but i got message "there is a internal problem with device" and after that phone freeze and restart like with pie roms... that message was also on some pie roms, and on some not...
I post here my problem and hope someone can help...

Mine for example is the MDE40 64GB.
is there any SD card installed? If yes remove. And also the Sim and see if it still reboots.
Model is same like your, 4GB/64GB...
I have a SD card and SIM card always inside phone...
I was thinking to try that, to remove them after installing rom, because when I was install Android 10, before phone get freeze, I got a message "com.qualcomm.qcrilmsgtunnel proces has stopped", and read somewhere that is some problem with provider... I will try later today, and will see..
Yes indeed

Yes dual Sim smartphones with custom roms have some stupid issues sometimes. Me for example I have to place my Sim to card slot 2 (where you place the SD card) in order for my car unit via Bluetooth to show the reception bars on its screen.
Please do when you have free time and inform us. Hope I gave you useful insight!
Also if without Sim is booting well, try to disable Volte. Some users with some providers have issues with that.
Here I am again...
I was try to install 5 new pie roms this morning, and always same problem... I was remove SD card, or SIM card, or both of them, and problem is still here...
Its something when system starts, then freeze...
Very strange

Does the roms you try have an kernel which OC the cpu?
Maybe you need one that keeps the cpu at stock speed.
Or if the phone is carrier locked and faces issues with that?
I was try all pie roms, and with all have same problem, except sometimes with Potato pie rom... Try also and with or without flashing kernel, with or without graphic drivers, all combination of all stuff... I must stay on nougat, like untill now... Im trying to install pie rom few months, and no more nerves to trying... I will sold this phone, and get MiMax 3...
Anyway big thanks for trying to help... I was hope there is someone who have same problem, and who solved this maybe, but...
Is your phone's bootloader unlocked? I havent seen anyone facing the problems you are facing, do not rule out a hardware issue. Hope you've done a mistake and don't have a hardware issue. Greetings!
