That is for all Xiaomi.

iirc most of the time recovery backups are unreliable. if needed, nandroid (adb+fastboot) works way better
if its just a flashable zip, you should go into recovery, wipe all those stuff again and dont forget format data (format =/= wipe)
if you have an external sdcard, put it there, if not use adb sideload (otg works fine too)

I need help. My 3T has no OS and won't mount data partition in twrp.

I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention and I tried installing the 7.0 update from this thread.
I can now only get to TWRP recovery and fastboot. When I'm in TWRP my internal storage says 0MB and it won't let me mount the data partition. Flashing anything fails.
Fastboot format userdata

Flash the stock recovery through fastboot. You can use the toolkit found here on xda forums.
Also you can format data in TWRP and then it should work, but you lose everything in internal storage, pics, music, all your own stuff.
Thanks guys. I got the stock recovery installed and it wiped everything, which was fine. I already backed up important stuff. It seems the update went through because I have Nougat now. But I'm having trouble installing any other roms. It wants to decrypt but it doesn't work. I read on the TWRP post that you can set a boot password and it would update the crypto key type or something and it should work after that. Well I did that, but twrp still won't accept my password and let me flash anything.

I had the same problem. I used the 3T toolkit to force decrypt (Option 14). This worked for me.

I just did this and it worked in TWRP: I was able to create a backup (which is not possbible in password-bugged state) and then I noticed I still was not able to mount the USB partition and thought I had to boot in to OOS once, so I did it, set up the bare minimum and then checked back at TWRP and voilà: Locked again.
The OOS said "encrypted" as well after I booted it.
I was (am) running 7.0, TWRP, non rooted (because I freaking can't)
Anynone can help here?

Did you flash SuperSU before booting into OOS? Not sure what to tell you I did the Force Decrypt then went into TWRP and immediately flashed SuperSU.

I wanted to do so but was not able to because I was not able to mount the relevant partition, nvm though I think I`ll wait a day or two to see if TW releases a new build. Thanks anyways:good:

,Using the toolkit take the option 14....To push decryption..,
DONT boot to your ROM...With the toolkit push the SuperSU and then flash it...
Now you can boot to your ROM....
If you boot without SuperSU will reenforse encryption.....

Push with adb sideload? Because I was not able to get that going for me. ADB is installed on my PC. Also is there a way to backup my apps and data without root? I just set everything up. Thanks for the help

Nice haha, Ill try it later. Thank you really much
So there is currently no way to root and use TWRP without completely disabling encryption?
I'm having the same issues as the OP here. Whenever I go to use the toolkit it says "the system cannot find the path specified." Any ideas? I've tried within Android and in TWRP..

Can't Boot Into System, Only TWRP

Here's the whole story:
I was on an unofficial build of RR CM13, encrypted, using TWRP 3.0.2-1.
I wiped data, dalvik, cache, and flashed the newest Official RR 7.1.1 and open-gapps.
I boot into the new ROM and start setting stuff up.
I restore some apps' data using Titanium Backup, then reboot.
On reboot I'm greeted with the device setup screen
I reboot, wipe, reflash a bunch of times
A few times:
When I rebooted after using the system my PIN doesn't decrypt the system/data (booting into the system)
When I rebooted after using TWRP my PIN does decrypt (booting into the system)
At some point during this I try wiping everything from TWRP, but it freezes, goes black, and then the notification LED turns white. I hold the power button and boot back to TWRP.
Apparently wiping /data is the problem (everything else wipes just fine if I do them individually)
I boot back into the system, set it up, and do a full factory reset from there (after offloading my stuff from Internal Storage)
Back to TWRP, now no matter what I flash or restore, I don't end up booting into the system, only into TWRP
I've also tried TWRP 3.0.4-0 (which wouldn't decrypt my data), and I've reflash TWRP a few times.
How do I actually boot into my system? It's been 7 hours, and I'm losing my mind.

Boot to your ROM through the power button...
Manually..

Not sure if you've tried this yet, but considering you've already backed your phone up, I'd just recommend to start clean and use the unbricker tool.

Do what he said. You've already wiped your internal storage, so just start from scratch.

Thanks, that worked, but now when I try to boot into recovery I get a black screen.
I was able to use the Toolkit to boot into TWRP and flash my ROM. Any ideas how to fix this?

TWRP has enormous potential and so does ADB try to use them.
First ensure TWRP is working, If it works you're 80℅ safe , then further do some XDA search as per your need. I am sure it will work again.
This is purely my experience since 6 years I am flashing .

Your TWRP is working right!
go to TWRP/ Advanced/ADB Sideload
type "adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip"
Mate, recommend using ADB Sideload on TWRP itself is the only viable option you have. OR if that doesn't work and you still have the PIN issues, you should definitely use the Unbrick Tool and get everything back to Stock, and then reflash everything
Note: Using the unbrick tool will cause it to relock bootloader, so you're gonna have to start over again.
Cheers!

Help!can't boot after flashing xiaomi.eu

I'm installing xiaomi.eu 8.10.18 on my xiaomi mi8 (dipper)
I can enter twrp recovery normally
After factory reset in twrp, install the zip, clear the dalvik/cache, reboot to system
the phone just stays on the screen with a MI logo and a android logo and 3 loading dots.(approximately 15 minutes already)
Had I done something wrong?

thanks! I'll try
what's the difference between format and wipe data anyway?
I though that the only difference is that format will also delete internal storage

TWRP not decrypting my data

I used fastboot to flash twrp-3.5.0_9-0-raphael.img. I used TWRP make a full backup to internal memory. Then I flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20ProMI9TPro_21.2.24_v12-11.zip which didn't work. So back to fastboot->TWRP to restore backup.
But it doesn't ask for my pattern anymore! All my files remain encrypted. Command line adb shell twrp decrypt fails too.
Is there a special TWRP version that can help me out? Or is it game over?
what problem did u face while flashing eu rom

On boot I noticed screen no longer said "Mi 9T Pro" but "Redmi", and it can only boot to "Mi-Recovery 3.0"

What is oxfox? No search results.
So it appears I made the mistake of dirty-flashing Android 11 over Android 10.
Is there any file from old ROM I can manually push back to restore the encryption key?
you are rooted via magisk?
Have you tried erasing and formatting userdata partition it might generate itself with the new encryption key you rom running
ineedroot69 said:

No, I just flashed the ROM and rebooted. No magisk.
EDIT: I had magisk on the old/previous ROM though, if that matters.

This will probably work, but I'm trying to decrypt and download my encrypted files from internal storage first.

Did you format data with "yes"? You must do it.

That is not enough, you MUST format data after installing a new rom to remove the old encryption.
With starting up the new installed rom, new encryption will be done again.
