Can no longer install custom roms,keeps asking for a password?

I can no longer seem to be able to install custom roms,ive tried the resurrection remix rom and the cm13 rom but both are asking for a password after it installs and reboot(like when you encrypt the phone) so i cant access anything and my google password does nothing nor have i set another password
All i can do is the three finger recovery and reflash a full stock rom which does work.
I have checked the OEM unlock in developer options as well and full wiped before installing roms.
There shouldnt be any anti theft on the phone because afaik i have disabled all the anti theft options so there should be no reason why it asks for a password.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Does anyone know if doing a full factory reset through twrp instead of through the phone could be the reason why?

Good to see someone else is also having this ****ing stupid problem. I've been struggling with a way to fix this as well. I'm on the EVA-109 with a single SIM and its been giving me this problem no matter what I do. I read through one of posts on the CM 13 thread which stated you need to use Surdu's tweaked TWRP in order to not have the password booting problem. It'd be nice to get an official response from Surdu on this as he hasn't mentioned the need to use his version of TWRP.
Although, despite trying this I'm still having the password problem at boot but it might be worth a try if you do it. I'll pass you the link - Do let me know how it goes, though I wouldn't place all my faith in this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/twrp-t3493979

Forgot PiN, fingerprint not work after restart

Dear All,
I have a friend with Huawei P9 Plus with this Firmware VIE-L29C636B103, i don't know what is in his mind on that time but unfortunately after restarting the phone he forgot his PIN to unlocked the phone and the fingerprint was not working. As far as i know, the only solution is by Factory Reset the phone, but he did not want to loose his data. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank You

No still original without custom recovery. Can i use TWRP to backup first the data ?

The problem is that you not unlock and then root yet. You basically can't use TWRP. If unlock bootloader, the phone will be immediately wipe data.

He or you could've used it to delete ". key" -files through adb. But that is only useful to have access to the data. You can't set new fingerprints or delete any of them because he must know his forgotten password for it. So it would only be a temporary solution.
Unlocking the bootloader never erased my data. It couldn't cause of some failure appeared at let's say 30%. But I'm not certain that the failure appears also on his phone. Which leads to my suggested solution:
He should try to remember the password and include any typos(yes, typos. My pin was 85320 but it also happened that i typed two times the false pin. The outcome was 85350. Huawei's layout was kinda bull**** and vulnerable for that type of failures. At least to me.) As I know it must be a PIN, not a password. If that fails get rid of the data and make a factory reset.

Thank you all,
Today i connect the P9 Plus Phone USB to HiSuite in Windows 10, i just leave this around 5 minutes and suddenly it connected to HiSuite automatically. Now i'm still backing up the data pictures, etc. Still wondering why in windows 10 it can connected automatically than in windows 7 After backup finished i'm gonna factory reset the phone.

My mistake on comments on unlocking bootloader will erase date since I mixed up the process. Now I remembered that after unlock, if you proceed further to root the phone, the phone will have to erase the data immediately. No option for you to choose not to erase data during rooting process if not mistaken. That's why I dare not to root again the phone.

How To Solve Find Device Storage Corrupted & Couldn't Add Fingerprint -Redmi Note 4X

How To Solve Find Device Storage Corrupted & Couldn't Add Fingerprint -Redmi Note 4X
Hello Everyone,
** I am writing my problem in details if that help you to diagnose my problem, and sorry if my English is not good enough..
I Purchased Redmi Note 4X around two weeks ago. Unfortunately, my device got stolen one week ago, and with the help of MI Cloud, I was able to get it back.
After getting back my phone, I found my device was flashed or reset and locked with MI cloud locker.
Then I flashed my device again with MI PC Suit and Disabled my device on MI cloud.
Since then, I found everything is working fine except following two problems.
Problem One: I am unable to add my fingerprint. Whenever I try to add one I receive following message: "couldn't add Fingerprint, try again." It should be noted here that when I try to add it, I feel 11 vibrations on my phone and see a progress of fingerprint add-on device. The message appears at 12 steps.
Problem Two: I am also getting Following Error message "find device storage corrupted your device is unsafe now error" whenever I try to locate my device through MI cloud > Find Device > Locate Device.
To Solve these problems, I tried following methods But Didn't Work for Me.
1. I made a Factory reset. (Hard & Soft)- Didn't work.
2. I updated Latest Stable Global Rom (System Update Method) - Didn't work.
3. I installed Latest Developer Global Rom ( First Boot Method) - Didn't work.
4. Cleared Wipe Cache Data, Wipe Reset in Xiaomi MIUI 8 through Mi recovery settings. - Didn't work.
** I am from Bangladesh. This device is officially not available here, So no hope for official warranty or support. You guys are my last hope. So please help me.
Any kind of help to resolve the problems will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Bhai same problem help me too.. Plz

Install TWRP from this link, when it asking password, press CANCEL.
Then wipe DATA, that's your factory reset

I have same problem .... Would u get any solution ?? If yes then tell me ...plz

Bro Just Unlocked bootloader .
And Flash Twrp .
And Use any custom rom
Your fingerprint will work fine .
All sensor to......

as long as the bootloader is unlocked, those features are disabled and/or you get those error messages. Reason is that the fingerprint has to be saved somewhere. Unlocking the bootloader gives people access to that storage (after all, you can get root access). The device is "unsafe" because of the unlocked state. Go to settings -> additional settings and look if the developer settings are available. There you can check if your device is unlocked.

I have installed miui 9 custom room I my lava pixel V2 and after few days my phone start rebooting it self when download a gamer or other help need

I have the same problem not able to use wifi on my redmi 4x even i have tried fastboot rom flash but not working on custom rom its working fine i dont know why.

Unable to detect simcard and wifi and locked after miflash

Hello fellas,
I got a huge problem here, I flashed official global ROM on my mi8 and f*cked up something, after reboot I have no wifi (can't activate the wifi module) and my simcard is not detected anymore, I just have blutooth working. And the problem is that in the latest version of miflash, there is no box to uncheck where it says that it will perform a flash & lock the bootloader...
So now i have to unlock the bootloader but is says that I need to link my mi.com account and insert a simcard to do so.
I think something went wrong with network modules
So my question is how can I unlock the bootloader without using a simcard ?
Thanks a lot for your responses :fingers-crossed:

You will need to use an older version of miFlash, and make sure that you use USB2 ports, or a USB hub.
Scroll to the bottom of this page and you will see many versions of miFlash : I use Mi-FlashTool_20181115.zip
When you flashed Global were you using a recovery based rom or a fastboot Rom? My guess is recovery based rom because usually you have to seek out the fastboot roms.
It is very likely that you have some corruption is your persist partition. This can be resolved by flashing a fastboot based stock rom.
Unfortunately I can't find it on the official site at the moment, but I found this : https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=file&id=230361
When you boot up dont worry about the sim card if it is not connecting right away, just stay focused on connecting via WIFI and then sign into your MiCloud account using your WIFI. After you have completed that step continue with setup and you sim card should start working, if you get a message that it can't sync with the server just disregard it, but verify that you are getting a signal, then check and make sure that you are using the correct APN. Manually enter your carriers APN info if needed.

Persist can be fixed by flashing fastboot rom through miflash? Or "flash_all.bat" method?
Thanks

Yeah usually, as long as it's a recent stable fastboot rom. Beta usually works but not always. I made several versions a persist fix file. The version based on stable worked for a couple of people.
I would rather that people use the fastboot rom. but worst case scenario I can share the flashable test file if needed. Even though it worked for a couple of people, whoever flashes it must accept all risk.

Thank you for your reply, I will try this tonight

Humm with locked bootloader, miflash prompts an error "Erase is not allowed in Lock State", what seems logic after all. But to unlock i need a sim, which is not detected

Can't find any solution :crying:

So you accidentally re-locked your bootloader?
You have the phone in fastboot mode while attempting to flash? If phone is bound to you, you can also try using EDL mode.
If both both fail try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers.
It should not matter as long as the phone is registered to you and its linked to your personal miCloud account. When you boot the phone sign into WIFI, and you can bypass temporarily bypass the sim card request.
Usually a popup will appear asking you to sign into your MiCloud account...use the same desktop that you used to initially unlock the bootloader. Be sure to use a USB2 port, if it still fails try using a usb hub.
As mentioned in an earlier post you must use a fastboot rom, and you do not need to use MiFlash, you can instead use the flashall.bat method.

General What not to do with China ROM

I recently got the phone and i have the China version 12/256. Here are few things to take care:
1) Install Google Keyboard first before debloating system apps using adb.
2) Very Important: First update the phone to latest firmware (12.0.13) before you toggle the OEM Unlocking option in developer settings. If you dont update first and have the option toggled and try to install an OTA update the phone will just bootloop unless you clear the data and sign in with mi account again. This will reset the 168 hours time in the software. So always update the phone to latest update.
3) If you are using google pay, go to nfc settings and change the wallet from Mi Wallet to HCE Wallet.
4) The stock TPU cover is loose on the sides. I dont know if its just mine. But better buy another case from aliexpress.
5) DO NOT install global stock rom through fastboot or mi flash tool. It just wont work because of the different versions(regional) of phone. Only install xiaomi.eu ROM using the guide from a post on xda because the install script knows which version your phone is and installs the appropriate system files.

@ingbrzy can you confirm that? :

It is safe to install. haven't installed it yet but read on forums that it is working.

so I guess
1) unbox your phone
2)update to latest software via settings.
3)factory reset device after that.
3)request bootloader unlock.
4) after 7 days, unlock your bootloader and tooggle that OEM unlock
5)follow instructions on xiaomiEU rom.
is that safe enough? Lmao
PS:
6) Find EDL support near you

1) Update to 12.0.13
2) Sign in to MI Account on device if haven't done yet.
3) Enable Developer settings, Developer Settings> Toggle OEM Unlocking
4) Turn off Wifi, Turn on Mobile Data, Settings> Additional Setting>Developer Settings> Mi Unlock Status> Click Add Account and Device.
5) Download Mi Unlock Tool, Login to same mi account > Turn off device, Hold Volume Down and Power Button ( you will see fastboot screen)> connect the device using USB, You will see the device, Click on Unlock button.
6) It will show wait for 168 hours to unlock.
7)Do not sign out/ change mi account on device or toggle the OEM Unlocking option. If you do you have to start from the beginning.
If you dont see your device in Mi Unlock tool install adb and fastboot drivers.

It seems to be working fine but I need to go outside and test the 5G and 4G signals are still as good as before
It's definitely feels much lighter and smoother
WhatsApp notifications are working properly
There's much less apps in the drawer, Chinese was very bloated , now there's not a Chinese app or character to be found!
Also banking apps are working fine!

Please post the instruction how u did it. With full info

Just downloaded and install it from a Windows laptop
You have to wait 168 hours to unlock it and then open the phone in Chinese language to get to the developer options again before you flash , you need to enable usb debugging again!!!
You will need wi-fi to get back in because there's a security check after unlock, it maybe in Chinese but you will figure it out
I had never used a Xiaomi phone before this one , there are literally no downsides anymore....
I'll update if I can find something that doesn't work

Can you explain the technical reason and the source of the information when you claim that you must update to 12.0.13 before toggling OEM unlock.
I started my unlock last week and I have 12 hours left. 12.0.13 was not out last week. So, obviously I toggled it before that.
Can you explain why 12.0.13 specifically is required before toggling OEM unlock?

Because my phone went into bootloop. I updated to 12.0.10 and then toggled the OEM Unlocking. While i was waiting for 168 hours, i got 12.0.13 OTA update and i tried installing it. Phone restarted 3-4 times and took me to recovery. I then wiped data and it started again with a factory reset. So iam just warning people to get the latest update before doing this. Also, i do own a POCO F2 Pro and i am quite experienced with flashing ROMS. Developers always ask you to update to latest firmware before flashing as the new ROMs are based on latest firmware.
Xiaomi.eu is not a custom AOSP ROM but just a word of caution.

Sounds like after OTA 12.0.13 phone should be a factory reset it

The toggle is nonsense
I toggled mine on and off a few times yesterday waiting for update 12.0.13 when I was on 12.0.10
It still unlocked like a charm today
