Hello,
I tried recovering data with the stock phone, however all software requires the phone to be rooted. Recovery from Internal Memory, not SD Card.
To root it, it requires the bootloader to be unlocked, this in turn deletes/overwrites storage thus making the data recovery harder/impossible?
What options do I have here and is it worth it considering unlocking bootloader overwrites storage?

So i unlocked the bootloader using the china rom and rooted Redmi Note 3 and installed ZCX-TWRP recovery but after OS update it won't boot.Mi logo flashes two times and i can only access fastboot mode.What i want to know is there anyway to recover Data on internal storage like WhatApp and all before i have to flash the Rom using Edl.(Flashing Rom will delete data right?).Is Flash All except data and storage viable?
Before you do anything else, check if the bootloaded is relocked. If it is, unlock it.
Exactly, unlock bootloader and the you will be able to reinstall TWRP.

Simply check your bootloader, in case it relocked again try to unlock it. If success to unlock, you won't loss any data.
The bootloader was locked and the only way to unlock it was to install the china ROM which required flashing so yeah even Except data and storage removed my internal storage so my phone is working but i lost all my apps
Does unlocking the bootloader of Redmi Note 3 using official Mi Unlock tool wipe the internal storage? I have a lot of data there and I need to know if it is safe to proceed with the unlock process.
No, your internal storage will remain untouched. I have unlocked redmi note 3 using official method for about 10 times and nothing has been deleted.

So I can safely unlock my bootloader without having to backup my internal storage data?
Backup is recommended for everything, you can make a local backup in miui and then copy it to pc, easiest method, to be sure.. But how i told you, i have unlocked bootloader by official method more than 9-10 times and everything was just fine..
Hello guys,
There's a problem associated with encryption of my RN 3 Snapdragon edition. Some time ago, I've officially unlocked my bootloader, to flash any custom roms I want, whenever I want (before I was using the way around it, where unlocked bootloader wasn't necessary).
OK. Back to my point, when i unlocked my bootloader, I installed Resurrection Remix rom and it was android 7.x.x I think. Somehow I was offered to encrypt my data, to have better security of my phone, etc. So I encypted it. Then everytime I turn on or reboot the phone, I was asked for a PIN code during the rom start up screen or when entering TWRP recovery. I forgot that my phone was encrypted, and I formated/deleted all possible data on my phone (internal storage, cache, etc) using TWRP and installed a fresh Lineage 8.0. Then it asked for a password on first boot, if i want to use my old data, the old password was not correct and i just chose the option to forget about old data and use it as a new phone. The phone didn't boot at all. It booted only after installing stock MIUI rom via FASTBOOT with miflash tool, and then installing the Android 8.0. But until now it shows, that my phone is encrypted in the settings menu and when i enter TWRP, it tells me the phone is encrypted and I can't see my files on internal memory and it's hard to flash the phone, as I have to use adb sideload or some other ways, but I cannot use the TWRP in normal way.
BTW, I tried factory reseting, wiping everything I can, installing official MIUI roms several times and so on, nothing helped.
If you have any thoughts please write them below, any info is important,
Thanks in advance

You obliviously choosed to "Require Pin/Password/Pattern on boot up" when setting up your pin code.
To decrypted the device, you will need to Format Data (Not wipe or Factory Reset), and flash any of following before booting the device:
SuperSU, Magisk, Custom Kernel or FED Patcher.
Thanks alot, it worked.
I've formated data, flashed fresh rom, gapps and custom kernel before first boot up from TWRP.
Reminder!
If you update your rom,
make sure also to reflash the custom kernel before booting the device.
Otherwise your device will encrypt on boot.
Hey, I've been using Kangvip rom for the Mate10Pro from this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/kangvip-rom-t3738379)
It comes rooted with Supersu, and got TWRP up and running.
Now I thought of comming back to the stock version of the phone, and having a problem with that.
First my bootloader is unlocked and FRP is locked, Enable Oem unlocking in Devs Settings is off and greyed out, when trying to flash from the full OTA (from this website)
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bla-l29C432B129&firmware_page=0
Based on my Version BLA-l29C432B129
When I try to flash something, an error appears with Command not allowed, I read that I should relock the bootloader so I did try, but got the error " Root type is risk" so it didn't work.
Same problem in TWRP, everything is SDCARD is encrypted so I can't have a zip or boot image there.
Heard you could system upgrade with inbuilt huawei software, but only allows an external sd card :/
I'd just want to return to stock firmware , stock recovery and unrooted
I will provide as much information as I can!
Kind Regards Felipe
Hi,
i found my rn4 SD locked with "activate phone", and once unlocked it was wiped as well.
I am on the official global stable 9.6.2.0.
Question: if I root, since unlocking bootloader will wipe it again as well, will I find any files with PC recovery tools or is that useless?
Otherwise I will just go ahead and use it as it is.
Since I had not planned to mod this device, I need to check the correct steps to root.
I suppose that would be mi unlock (waiting the 72 hours).
Install twrp
root
?
Thanks for any help
