Decryption unsuccessful

I just flashed aicp latest build and got the decryption unsuccessful!!
why is that happening coz i have not encrypted my phone .... i even flashed lineage 15.0 and same is happening pls help me

I had to run the Qualcomm restore tool to get back from this state. Obviously you will loose all data when doing so.
The strange thing is I just flashed the same LineageOS zip as before and ended in this state. [emoji848]

format data if you are installing the new rom over a stock oxygem rom that will delete all your data and remove encryption.

From fastboot you need to format userdata (you will loss everything, however you might have already lost everything). You will get formatted decrypted internal storage with reduced size. Don't panic.
Then you required to flash blue_spark TWRP recovery (v50 or latest) from fastboot.
Then boot to recovery and format internal storage from Advance Wipe menu (under Wipe). You will regain the actual internal storage size.
Flash your desired rom.

Thanks

OP, I tried the latest LineageOS unofficial and got the same error. Just reflash a ROM like Cardinal Xtended or an Oreo ROM that you have verified to be working on your phone. Clear System, Data and Cache. All should be well, and you don't have to wipe storage.
Cheers!

More details needed if you want some help or all you wanted is some condolence?
P.S. If you don't know what details, just describe what actions have been taken I was on ROM x versions x.x.x with TWRP x, how you flashed MIUI11 and what MIUI11 ROM and version you used.

TWRP version is: 3.3.1-42
I was on original rom and I used this rom: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_V11.0.2.0.QFACNXM_v11-10
Procedure: I wiped dalvik/ART cahce, cache, System Data and then installed the rom and rebooted and I am now in bootloop.

P.S I have global version

Does your TWRP successfully decrypt data now? Do you have access to files in TWRP? Or you just see strange names.
If that is the case, just format data, it's an option in wipe menu. And then reflash ROM.
btw wiping system is not needed and useless.

Decrypts successfully because i install rom from internal storage and still it doesnt help.

Then everything should work, try to read this thread: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-11-0-stable-release.52628/ , may be you not the only one.
But i would try format data any way. Format will remove everything and will create a fresh unecrypted file system. Wipe only delete files.
If it won't help you may try to flash fastboot ROM, and then format and etc.
btw When you wipe cache/dalvik, it takes some time to boot, it can be 5-10 minutes.

I keep bricking my 9t pro, what's wrong ?

Hello,
I am trying to install lineage OS on my 9t pro, but it fails every time.
I managed to unrbick my phone thanks to miflash, but now i'm totally stuck
So, i'm on miui Global 11 QFKEUXM, and i can install twrp-3.3.1-22-raphael-mauronofrio.
Then, if I try to flash a rom with it (i also tried RevengeOS), i'm going to be stuck in a bootloop, until it goes to twrp again.
When it appens, i can't access files from my computer anymore, all folders seems to have random names like "uzehfj405Cuh5635azP5IUHDPuZ".
So i have to use miflash to go back to miui. I don't know what's wrong i've spent hours trying, can someone help me ?
Thanks and have a nice day
EDIT :
Indeed i didn't format data in TWRP. I tried to, and i'm still in that boot loop unfortunatly.
But this time, file system seems to be ok because i can access internal storage from my computer
EDIT2 :
I think the problem come from GAPPS. If i format then flash lineage without GAPPS, I can boot it
But if then i try to flash them, it won't boot anymore.
I am using the "nano" package here https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/beta/20191114/
Is this incorrect ?

hi,
have already format data in TWRP?

See bro When we buy the android the the storage is
Encrypted , when you unlock the bootloader and install TWRP it doesn't decrypt the internal storage that's why only the stick rom i.e. Miui can access the storage , here is what you need to do ..
Install TWRP then go to wipe then click on format data and type yes this will decrypt the internal storage and so that any custom rom you install can access the data ..
Make sure that you format data then reboot trwp and then connect the phone to of transfer the files and install the rom and gappa it will boot just fine
Although for some reason when i install the LOS my storage gets decrypt again I say you try the EvoX rom which doesn't require gappa just flash the rom and the firmware
Also there is some force decrypt zip file that lets you decrypt the internal storage because sometime install the firmware may encrypt your storage again so flash that DFE file you will find that in telegram grp ..
Basically you can't boot into rom and see files on computer cause your storage is encrypted and only Miui can decrypt it unless decrypted ...
Hope it help

Every time when you want to flash aosp or other custom rom you need to format data ( wiping isnt enough because of encryption) when coming from stock miui or miui eu rom.
Best way is to read instruction of rom you want to install.
My steps are when coming from stock miui:
Install twrp
Boot to twrp
Format data with yes
Reboot to twrp
Copy rom you want to install to internal storage, usually you need also rom+vendor file of latest stable miui.
Flash vendor+rom of stable miui
Wipe dalvick+ cache
Flash custom rom (los, evolutionx...)
Wipe dalvick+ cache
Flash gapps if needed
Wipe dalvick + cache
Reboot to system, set your system to your liking
Then reboot to twrp to flash magisk ( if you like to be rooted, otherwise continue to use rom as is)
Best is to read install instructions of rom you want to install

Hello, thanks for taking the time to help me. I tried again formating the data, it seems a bit better (i can acces file system from my computer), but i'm still in that boot loop :/

Maybe it's the vendor. What device do you have (china, global, etc.)?

I think it's a global one, but now i have doubts... Is there a way to be sure ?
In the MIUI i managed to flash with miflash, it's sayed MIUI GLOBAL

if it s a mi9t pro its probbably the global version, to make sure try downloading the firmware and vendor from here https://downloads.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/raphael/ . try downloading the global and indian version and try both since you dont know whihch model you have. also dont forget to format before trying anything. hope i helped

I'm a bit affraid to flash indian version, it's says to not cross flash ^^

I’d flash MIUI.eu before lineage, let it boot and then do the whole process to install lineage. Yo don’t have nothing to lose.

What fastboot commands should I use to get the model number ? I tried fastboot oem get-psid but it didnt work
When I boot MIUI, in the settings its "MIUI GLOBAL QFKEUXM". So it's correct isn't it ?

Custom Rom flashing problem.

Okay. Am currently on MIUI 11.0.3 (the latest one available for RaphaelIN)
So, the problem am facing is that, when i flash a custom rom, my phone gets rebooted to recovery and sometimes to fastboot(this happens occasionally) and i just simply cant get the rom to load.
Sometimes my phone gets into a state which resembles hardbrick (none of the buttons work, even holding the power button for 10secs doesn't) and after sometimes, usually 15 to 20 mins it restarts itself. This has happened thrice till date and all while booting to system.
The Roms i have tried-
-Pixel experience (unofficial) (android Q)
- Lineage OS 17 (unofficial)
- Havoc OS (both official and unofficial) (both pie and Q versions)
-MIUI (European rom)
I have also tried flashing the chinese, indian and global vendor (all done separately) thinking it was a vendor issue, but it also doesn't work.
Recovery is TWRP latest version, have also used orange fox recovery
Bootloader unlocking was done through the official method and the official app.
Any solutions for this problem and has anyone faced these problems or is it only me?

Consider this an overkill solution that always works for me if I run into issues with other methods. It will wipe everything so backup your data and apps.
Download the latest fastboot Indian MIUI ROM (for anyone else reading this download the ROM that is the same region as your phone)
Fully extract the ROM and flash it - make sure, if you use the Mi Flash Tool, that you change the flash option to 'clean all'
Boot into MIUI once, you don't need to actually go through the set-up, just let it fully load.
Boot the phone into fastboot and install TWRP - I recommend the latest mauronofrio TWRP.
After installing TWRP boot immediately into TWRP.
Format the data partition - don't skip this step.
Wipe cache and dakvik - don't wipe anything else.
In TWRP goto the mount menu and unmount the data partition then mount it again - others would suggested rebooting back into TWRP, either way works, you just need to make sure the data partition is properly mounted after formatting it.
Install the ROM of your choice - either have the ROM on a USB OTG stick, or copy it onto the phone from a PC whilst still in TWRP.
If your ROM doesn't include Google apps and services and you want Google, then install GApps - at the time of writing this Android 10 GApps is still in beta and packages bigger than nano may cause issues, so stick with pico or nano, assuming your installing an Android 10 ROM.
Boot into the ROM.
If you want Magisk, once the ROM has loaded, boot back into TWRP and flash the latest Magisk installer - it is possible to flash Magisk without booting into the ROM first and you'll probably be OK, but occasionally it can cause problems, I can't remember the details, but for the sake of 30 seconds I now boot into the ROM before flashing, just to be on the safe side.
At the time of writing this people have recently reported issues flashing GApps immediately after flashing Havoc 3.0 and recommend booting Havoc before flashing GApps. Although others say they've not had any problems. So if you choose to install Havoc you 'might' have problems if you install GApps without booting into Havoc at least once first.
I've never had problems when following this method.

You didn't format data that's why your rom doesn't boot. Follow Robbos nice guide and you are good to go.:good:

I did format the data partition coz that's one thing I and my friends always do when flashing new rom. I don't exactly remember but i think, the pseudo hardbrick thingy started after i formatted the system, data, cache & internal storage.
I will follow Robbos guide adn keep you guys updated on what happened.

Data encrypted after Rom update

Hey guy!
after updating (dirty flash) from Evolution X version 2/14 to 2/19 all my data on sdcard-folder is encrypted and i cant write any data to it.
the whole procedure was to first uninstall magisk, dirty flash new Evolution X version, flash magisk again.
Since then I can only boot into recovery (twrp)
Does anyone has an idea how to get my data back and not full wipe my phone?
Backup data in twrp is not possible since it cant create a folder ;(
Thanks a lot!

AFAIK your only option now is to format data in TWRP.
I assume the phone was encrypted before and TWRP would normally ask for the PIN, but now fails to recognise that the phone is encrypted. I don't know why TWRP doesn't ask for the PIN in these situations.
I have previously considered asking mauronifrio if it's possible to have a force decrypt option, which allows the user to enter the PIN if TWRP doesn't automatically ask for it. I just never got round to it.
