Encryption on AOSP - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
as I couldn't find an answer, here is my question.
Is it possible to encrypt a device with AOSP? And how?
Thanks

Yes, install miui fastboot Rom and wipe data, then flash the desired aosp. If stated in the thread, wipe system too.

I used to flash with TWR. Does it make a difference?
Right now I'm on Xiaomi.eu Beta 9.8.1& encrypted.
When I wipe data and flash havoc for example, it does not work. The Rom does not boot. Are there any additional steps necessary?

If your data is encrypted you must do format data before you install another rom. There is a difference between wipe data and format data.

Thats right, but how do I keep the encryption or encrypt again? Because when I start the encryption from within the Rom settings in any AOSP Rom, it does not work.

You can use LOS or AOSIP if you wont to keep encryption.

OK, but in LOS didn't work either. After starting encryption from rom settings it took a longer time voting after until a message occured that system UI isn't responding. After that the screen turned black.

You have something wrong. You don't have to encrypt manually. It is encrypted already. Do you flash disable force encryption?

Thanks, that's interesting!
Here the steps I took:
- Wiping everything (data, system, dalvik, cache)
- Format data
- reboot
- installing the rom (gapps, magisk)
- no dm-verity and no disable-force-encryption
EDIT: I'm one step further. I used Orange Fox Recovery and disabled Disable DM-Verity and Disable ForceEncryption in the MIUI OTA Menu.
Now some AOSP Roms are encrypted after first boot, except for HAVOC - seems not to be supported right now?!

Most of these heavily customizable roms are ugly anyways, I'd rather use GravityBox Xposed Module for customizations.

Yes, I was trying to encrypt Havoc and PE and failed. Idk wether Syberia support encryption. I just stoped to switching between roms and stayed with LOS. It supports encryption and selinux is enforcing.

Ok thanks guys for your help!
I'm thinking about staying on miui beta or try one of the lighter roms.

This is due to encryption. Disable encryption under twrp recovery. Formate userdata partition and then flash pie roms. It will work

How can I disable encryption in twrp? I can't find any option for that.
If you want to disable Encryption, you should wipe Data completely using Format Data, then Advanced Wipe
Note: I'm not sure if you should wipe System as well, but i did anyway

[Guide] Decrypt OnePlus 7 Pro

In this guide I will show you how to decrypt this phone
You might be asking:
(What are the advantages of decrypting?)
Well, it is much easier to switch between custom roms when you are decrypted and you don't have to wipe internal storage everytime you flash a new rom and there may be a performance increase (Maybe).
(What are the disadvantages of decrypting?)
If your phone gets stolen.. The stealer can access all of your data and can even remove the pattern by just rebooting to twrp and deleting a few files so your phone will not have any protection whatsoever.
Downloads:
Disable Dm-Verity
Magisk
Instructions:
1- You have to be on clean oos without any mods or kernels.
2- Reboot Recovery
3- Format data (Go to wipe - Format data and click yes)
4- Reboot Recovery
4- Flash No Verity Mod
5- Flash Magisk
6- Reboot System
Now you are decrypted!!
Keep Decrypt between OS updates:
-Reboot Recovery
-Flash FULL ZIP in TWRP
-Without booting the OS: Flash TWRP Recovery, reboot recovery, Flash No Verity Mod, Flash Magisk, Reboot System.
Keep Decrypt between Roms:
-Wipe Data only in twrp!!! (NEVER WIPE SYSTEM OR - VENDOR ON OP7P)
-Flash Rom
-Flash TWRP
-Reboot Recovery
-Flash any other zips you want like Gapps-Kernels- ex.....
-Flash No Verity Mod

Settings, security, down towards the bottom it tells you
OK so I'm encrypted... Am I secured somewhat from theft correct? And yes I know it's not 100% but it is safer than decrypted?
Another question let's say I don't mind being encrypted because I have a flash drive with otg and all that... Is that good enough? Or should I go decrypted all the way so I can start backing up on twrp and restoring twrp without errors which would mean no use for flash drive...
I know it's my choice just trying to make things easier and to understand a little more

If you are really concerned about your data and you are OK with wiping internal storage, then I don't recommend decrypting and just leave it encrypted.
I have oos decrypted via disable force encrypt!
Today I went through the following process to update to the latest version of OOS.
1. Flash full oos & twrp
2. reboot to recovery
3. Flash magisk
4. flash disable force encrypt
5. reboot
rebooted, but back to TWRP,,,
there was a "0" directory in sdcard and inside it my data was in it.
Do you know the solution?

DFE is Disable Force Encryption also known as dmverity in some cases.
And yea you can reencrypt without losing data but it takes time depending on the size of files you have.

can we use this method for boot dual os (oos+custom) , when we install dual os twrp by @Zackptg5 we face problem with encryption and password protection on one of the os.
is it possible this method help this problem???
This does not work for my OP7Pro, when you say boot into Recovery and wipe data. Is that the stock recovery or TWRP? When I try decrypting using the instructions using TWRP, when I reboot the phone, it boots into the boot animation. But the animation is slow and the phone just gets stuck there and won't boot any further. Trying to decrypt so it's easier to get LineageOS installed. My phone seems to have problems when on the B partition reading the internal storage.

Are you running an open beta build? OnePlus did something dumb with the beta builds where this no longer works. I've been racking my brain trying to find a way to decrypt a beta too. For now, only the main builds of OOS are decryptable.

No, my phone was on a main build. Just wasn't having any luck and gave up. I'm on LineageOS now but spent an entire day trying to get that installed and working properly. Something was weird, slot A could read my internal storage, but when I switched to slot B the internal storage just disappeared. Once I got TWRP and LOS installed on both slots, the problem disappeared. But I still haven't attempted to decyrpt for fear of messing up my current setup.

I'm on OOS 11 Beta 1 and decryption works fine for me. I was on 10.3.7 (decrypted) before.
Do you have to be on OOS? Or could any clean flashed rom work?

Encryption Problem with my MI9T Pro after installing new ROM

Hi there,
I tried to install a ROM on my Mi9T pro. I use Orange Fox and it asked me when I entered the recovery for the password, that decrypted my Data partition. All well so far.I installed the ROM Havoc and Magisk. After reboot into System, there was a bootloop. I entered the recovery again and the Data(internal storage is encrypted. Which is not too bad, because I know the password, but I do not get asked for the password/pattern. It says:
E: Error making /sdcard/fox, unable to wipe Data, unable to format to remoce encryption.
So I cannot install a new rom as the partion is encrypted and I cannot remove the partition.
“E:Unable to decrypt FBE device”
Does anyone have a recommendation on what to do?
Kind regards

When installing over MIUI you need to format data. You should still be able to format data, which should allow you to boot into the ROM after.
If Orange Fox won't let you format data at this point, then the issue is with Orange Fox. In TWRP when this happens, even though the data partition is encrypted and TWRP doesn't ask for the password, TWRP can still format the data partition.
If you can format data in OF, then good. If not try installing TWRP then formatting data. If that fails your best option is to restore to MIUI with a stock fastboot ROM, then start again.
thank you for your comment. as a follow up. do you recommend a certain twrp release? i just don't want to **** up the phone. when ich connect the phone to my laptop, I can see the internal data, but neither can i copy, nor make the names of the files any sense (encrypted i guess). is there now way to decrypt the files from the situation as is? i do not mind, as i back upped all the important stuff, but if possible i would do without format.
btw. i came from lineage os. what i did: i wiped data, system, cache and data, then installed the rom ( included gapps) and magisk. then restarted.

Use the latest TWRP from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...cial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3944363/post79823568. Go with the latest unofficial as it is the same as the official version, but with some minor bug fixes added.
Orange Fox is only really worth using when sticking with MIUI. Most of it's extra functions are MIUI specific.
When you get into this situation, unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to recover or decrypt the data partition, as far as I know.
Normally going from one AOSP ROM to another you should be OK and won't need to format data. But occasionally this problem will happen, I've had it happen when going from LOS to AOSiP. Formatting data in TWRP, when this happens, will then allow you to boot into your new ROM. I haven't yet found out why this sometimes happens.
You will just need to backup your data whenever you flash a ROM, just in case this happens again.

Question How to flash a Android 12 ROM without decryption problem?

I've been struggling to flash Android 12 without my internal storage to be unaccessible by TWRP... I simply can't decrypt my data and the only way to fix it is to format data and revert back to a Android 11 ROM.
Did anyone manage to flash Android 12 successfully? How?
Well I gotta tell you sadly, decryption does not work for any Android 12 system currently. So you gotta have to live with it, until we get decryption support.
And don't try to fiddle with disabling encryption, I did it and I quickly regretted it.
Also, you always have to format data after flashing a ROM to remove encryption, except if you update your current ROM.
ADB Sideload is the answer.
If you have TWRP installed already then as you know when you go into recovery you cant see any data. User ADB Sideload instead and it will flash it the same way

ADB sideload isn't the answer, because that's already what I use to flash a Android 12 based ROM. Doesn't change that TWRP can't decrypt data

That is because their no recovery that will decrypt A12, just not possible yet. Sideload is the way for now, it works fine. Decryption isn't available yet and hopefully someone cracks it soon
Not towards achieving decryption, however after flashing A12 ROM, and clicking on format data, I get numerous errors with TWRP. Any solution? Is it related to recovery or some issue with data partition? Thanks!
Many people have issues with TWRP. Flash Orangefox recovery in TWRP, boot into it and try.

that means, that you don't update your rom to a new version without loosing data.

No, if you're decrypted with DFE once and formated with yes, you can flash new ROM and DFE without formating. Means dirty install without loosing internal data. Or you make clean by only wiping data and in this case also your internal SD stay as before without loosing your personal files.

Question Weird behavior in any custom rom

Hi guys, I'm here looking for any help
I'm having this weird behavior in any custom rom I flash.
A while after flashing some rom (some 2 or 3 cycles of battery, around 1 to 3 days) suddenly all apps start crashing, falling at that force close popup. I mean every app, when I try to launch some new app it goes to the force close immediately.
I can't take a screenshot because it fails, I can't take a screen record because it crashes.
So I have to reboot, and it boots normally, but already happened that some apps loose their cache/data, because they start from zero and I have to log in again.
Happening on any A13 build, I don't remember about A12.
Can that be a hardware issue? I doesn't happen on MIUI.
Tried PE+, LO, CrDroid, ArrowOS, CherishOS, Voltage, Spark... Well, I'm trying it all.
Tried changing recovery: Kewl TWRP, TWRP, OrangeFox
Tried leaving phone on LTE only.
Tried flash fastboot MIUI before other rom.
Flashing all of them like: wipes, install rom, format data.
Does anybody has any idea?
Thanks and sorry about my english!

No i've rebooted to the recovery, wiped, installed firmware, installed rom, formated data.
But would this order change anything even to roms that say that don't need any specific firmware?

Wipe isn't enough, formating with yes is necessary.
Try exactly my procedure (fw isn't necessary for all roms / cherishos don't need, Los need)
Some ROMs installation instructions do not require an initial format of data before installation of the ROM itself, like EliteRom. Follow your ROM's installation instructions regarding required firmware. (MIUI)

If installing the EliteROM (for example), your formatting after installing the ROM is the correct procedure, per the declared instructions:
Installation Instructions:
- Install rom zip using TWRP/OFOX
- Format if you are encrypted, otherwise wipe data is enough
- Reboot
- Enjoy the smoothness+performance

@Leonvrx
according my experience it's not important if you format before ROM or after Rom installation but very important to restart recovery when you do it before ROM installation in encryption state.
If decrypted then only wiping data
Please feedback your trying and results.

according my experience it's not important if you format before ROM or after Rom installation but very important to restart recovery when you do it before ROM installation in encryption state.
If decrypted then only wiping data
Please feedback your trying and results.

I didn't know that; thank you for your help, guidance, and patience.
Tried your steps exactly this morning, so far so good, I'll update in the next days, for better or for worse.
@Laptapper
Yeah, same results, it crashed the same (using AlphaDroid atm).
I've rebooted it and it even started initial android setup again, after redoing it, i have all my apps like nothing happened, but my sound settings, fingerprint settings (and probably other too) reseted.
I've also already tried to remove the microSD expation slot, same results,
Tried Vanilla + NikGapps, Vanilla + BitGapps and Gapps builds.
I think it's just bad luck with this specific device :/

I think that it's exactly this version, but I will reflash to make sure and I'll try again

Ok, I'll try if happens again. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 days to happen.
But I have a problem in Cherish that on my bank app (C6 Bank Brazil) my facial recognition doesn't work. It stays on a black screen despite I had given camera permission.

Non-rooted, CTS profile ok and certified.
It's a thing that just happen in this ROM.
Also this app is really annoying to hide root from, so I never root
