Hello all,
on Sunday I flashed LineageOS on my RN4.
Been using it till yesterday but I wanted to switch back to MIUI.
So I downloaded a Global developer recovery rom and wanted to flash it via TWRP.
I rebooted to recovery and immediately there was a prompt to type the password to decrypt the phone. Why is that?
Luckily, the password was my lockscreen PIN so I made it to get in recovery, but, why is that so and how to get rid of it?
And after that, I mean after I flashed MIUI, I rebooted to System and before my phone even booted, I had the same prompt window to type a password to decrypt the phone.
Any help here? I searched already and people said that I have to format my phone (including Data) and after that hopefully the prompt window won't be there anymore.
But I dont wanna format the whole phone, if there is any other solution.
thanks!

There's no solution unless you do a format via either twrp or using fastboot command.

Format via TWRP means format everything? I mean, Advanced Wipe -> and here check everything and format or?
You mean format everything via fastboot? If so, do I keep TWRP installed? And if so, which command is that?
Thanks!

Nah, if you've TWRP installed then no need for fastboot.
Steps to decrypt :-
*Boot to TWRP
*choose wipe
*Tap format data [you'll find this in the bottom right]
*type 'yes' to continue
*???!?
*Decrypted!
I repeat do not choose advanced wipe or whatever, choose FORMAT!

Don't panic sir, everyone in here who've had Decrypted their device had lost their files too. You should've made a backup before performing the action.

No problem
By the way, when you add pattern or password or any kinda screen locks, choose "No thanks" When its prompts to enter pin/password everytime you boot.
That's it.

Alright, thanks.
But, if I format data as you have said, do I keep the TWRP or I have to flash it again via fastboot?

No need to fastboot again, if you format data, you'll only lose your data not the TWRP.

Hello guys!
I am in need of some help. I wanted to get root access by installing twrp, and then instantly flash SuperSU, what I just did.
Flash went successful, I kept system read-only to get ota updates, but the phone got stuck on MI logo after reboot.
What should I do to get android up and running again, and not get stuck on MI logo or any kind of bootloop?
I'm on the latest China Dev rom right now. I can enter into TWRP and fastboot mode. Any kind of help is appreciated!
Thank you guys!

Not to worry,
What you need is make modded boot image for your ROM using "Android kitchen" its not that hard.
Please follow the first post and it has link for using it.
hxxp://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=240531&extra=page%3D5&mobile=2
Replace xx with tt.
If you have fastboot ROM then its easy to get boot.IMG, if not then boot to twrp, go to backup and select boot only. Take backup to SD card or pen drive via otg.

I think I know his problem. When booting into recovery using the key combo (volume up +power) the screen just shows the phone and a usb cable, with mi.com/pcsuite written under it. Never goes into the recovery. I had this problem too, never found a solution. (now I'm on custom recovery, it works fine)

What about bootloader? Is that unlocked??
If yeah, you can fastboot the twrp and can remove the pattern or whatever the stuffs.

Did you even apply for unlocking permissions? No?
OK, are there any nearby mi service centre? If yeah, then visit em' and act like noob in front of em.
Just tell them forgot the code and blah blah, they'll fix it.
First, unlock the bootloader, then flash TWRP.
Watch this, one parent solved his problem with his phone following this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-1govqZXFo
i think flashing the stockrom will fix this issue
you have to use different usb cable (i forget the name , you can searching this on google)
or you can try some method to flashing xiaomi or other phone with locked bootloader
We need more information. What did you do to get to this state?
You must try to go back to stock.
Use the guide documented here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
For Step 2: The file you need to download is called like this: Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download
Once the download is complete, follow steps 3, 4, 5 and 6.
For Step 3 the combination is Volume Down + Power to get to Fastboot.
If the flashing guide could not help you, please download Mi PC Suite here
(After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode [Step 3], connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash, downloaded at [Step 2])

Cool. You've been affected. Eh, I mean you need to decrypt your device now, solution would be formatting your data via TWRP. Note that you'll lose your all Data, so Make a backup before performing this. You can ask me, is there any way to decrypt without actually formatting data? No, nah. That's the one and only solution.

Thing is, i did a factory reset in the Phones settings and it got me to TWRP i forgot i had that, i tought i had stock recovery, so it removed the whole OS for me, so now im here with no OS.
What should i do?
I have no SD-Card so i cant put anything there, what should i do?

Hmm, tried it out but i didnt managed to get it to work.
Can i use any rom to flash trough FASTBOOT?
or should i get an SDCard and put a rom on it ?
had the same.problem last week and it drove me.nuts. if you have stf l09c432 version there is a b130 service firmware. you can put it on micro sd, format it exfat which is important due to size and then press vol up, vol dn and power simultaneously. recovery will install and phone will boot for sure with stock recovery. the only way which worked for me. capacitive bhttons are dead which is the downside of this method.

More suggestions are welcome, i dont have an SDCard right now, and i want it to work so i can sell it.
for me this was the only firmware that worked after no os. i tried huawei multitool. this has an unbrick section, all it does is flashing cust, boot, data, recovery and userdata in the right order using fastboot flash cust cust.img for example. didnt work i tried flashing all parts with fastboot flash command on my own including vendor.img etc. still never worked.

Hi guys hope you are safe.......
So i have been trying to flash a custom recovery to my mido.Since MIUI replaces the custom one with stock recovery after booting we have to boot to recovery from fastboot(right?).But the sad thing is my power button is not working.So is there any other way to boot to recovery from fastboot other than fastboot boot recovery.img.
I've learnt that fastboot boot doesnt work for new MIUI(tried it).So..Have i got any hope or will i have to wait until the lockdown is over to get my power button fixed.
Thanks

Hello Sir,
I am using Redmi Note 4 (nikel) MiUi 10.2, Android ver 6.0, Bootloader unlocked and install twrp. Yesterday, I am trying to upgrade from recovery method. In this case, before install firmware I was backup Boot, System, and Data. After backup I was wipe Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Cache, Cust. Than I was installed firmware and successfully upgrade. Than rebooted deviec. But my device looped in boot.
Because I was wiped cust partition without backup. If any one using same device redmi note 4 nikel and installed twrp please backup this cust patition and upload to restore. I cant flash from fastboot because I can't use PC. So this is only way to recovery. Can anyone help me please.
