Hello everyone,
So I need some expert help desperately, I've completely messed up my phone I think.
btw I have Moto X 2014 (victara) smartphone. It has bootloader unlocked & twrp custom recovery
Till yesterday I was using Resurrection remix rom, then I decided to go back to lineage. So i flashed lineage. Everything was working smoothly at this point. Lineage installed fine, I setup my phone, installed few apps, set a pattern lock (also set up to require at start) & encrypted. I rebooted the phone, & this is where everything went to hell....
lineage won't accept my pattern giving wrong pattern error. So I didn't panic then, i booted into twrp, twrp also asked for same pattern, it didn't work in twrp either. I pressed cancel in twrp, then proceeded to install lineage again. Again lineage got installed but damn it asked for pattern again.
So went back into recovery, now to my horror, twrp shows sdcard as empty & if I reboot I get stuck on motorola boot logo.
Current Status:
What can i do:
boot into twrp that's it
Backup:
nandroid backup was in my phone itself. But now twrp can't see it, so I can't do restore
Please is there anything I can do to recover my phone. Or am I ****ed & its a brick now?
Any help is greatly appreciated, please

Ah, you need to FORMAT data via twrp! That'll decrypt your phone.
And also, remove your SD card, DL any Rom & Gapps, reinsert it, flash Rom using SD card. It'll boot.

umm... this phone doesn't have sdcard
update: I formatted data from twrp successfully. Then pushed lineage via adb to sdcard & installed it. Lineage got stuck on boot animation, start screen would flash after some time & then return to boot animation, weird.
So now back in twrp, under advanced wipe both davlik/art cache & internal storage give "invalid partition selection" error, when I click on repair or change file system
I suspect this is definitely causing all the problems, any idea what to do now?

hellow everyone i have le max 2 x821 indian version, thats highly encrypted,..
i tried to root and unlocked the bootloader..
installed twrp successfully, but the encryptions not allowing to twrp to mount internal storage data,
i tried installing supersu through sideload but didnt worked the rooting is being prevented by encryptions as it shows there..
so , i cant root but i badly want to inatall cm13 on my device can i do that by using sideload without rooting as bootloader is opened.... will it affect my device if i try doing that.... please people help...:crying::crying::crying:
You need to erase the internal storage to have it decrypted. After installation of indian ROM, the phone's internal storage becomes encrypted. In order to decrypt it back, make sure you save everything from your phone inside a computer, then in TWRP, erase/format the internal storage, copy the new ROM that you want to flash via TWRP (you won't have any system installed so you can't reboot otherwise you'll endup in some bootloop). You can Enable MTP to see the device in computer. After you have copied the new ROM, flash it and enjoy. This is my experience on X820 after flashing indian ROM, so I'm not very sure if all described above will work on X821 but you can give it a try. If you brick your device, there is a fix for hard brick as well, so, no worries.
problem decrypting..
I tried it by doing format system.. but it didn't got decrypted... N everything remained same...

In TWRP you need to press "Wipe", then "Advanced Wipe" and select "Inernal Storage", then swipe to wipe. Do note that everything on your phone will be erased, contacts, photos, music, etc. Wiping only system won't decrypt anything.
not working..

i booted into twrp then selected wipe->advanse wipe-> internal storage and then swiped to wipe,..
then it showed wipe failed unable to mount something...
Try to check in Mount and see if you can change something that can help.
Also someone with X821 maybe can help in this matter.
i tried that didn't help..
Can anyone give me link to stock recovery, this twrp is not functioning n hindering my upgrade to 19s also... I want to have my stock recovery back anyone please give me img file of that...

Hello,
Wolud you be so kind and share some link/info about this solution?

boot loop??
If u got into bootloop with a blue dot and phone restarting again and again, simply go into twrp and flash any of the official eui 15s 16s 19s Roms by wipe and install zip.
[Noob question]
I have a 2 year old Samsung GT-S5282 i just rooted a month ago, by installing CWM 6.0.3.7 and flashing SuperSU 2.07 in it.
I've installed a few root apps that "boosts" the phone's performance.
But a month later i tried rebooting the phone, it passes the boot logo, then it comes across a dialog saying "process system is not responding, do you want to close it?"
I pressed "wait", but then the system crashes and the screen turns off. I tried consecutive battery pulls, wiping cache partition, but no luck, it still crashes on the dialogue screen.
I reckon it's on the kernel, but i'm STILL not sure what is going on.
Can anybody suggest a fix? I really need this phone and i don't want to lose any data.
(I've backed up my personal files, i meant i don't want to lose any internal data that cannot be backed up)
Please.

I guess you are able to reach recovery mode. If yes, then u should connect it with computer. Try installing a custom rom (i would suggest CM11).

Um thank you so much for the suggestion.
But unfortunately when i try to boot to recovery, the stock recovery opens up, not the CWM i flashed.
I tried to flash a fix for it, but it also didn't work.
But i guess flashing a new ROM will be the last option i have, so....do flashing one delete all my data? And if so, can i restore all internal data if ever i'll back it up? Thank you SO much for replying.

Well, then try three button combo (volume-down + home + power) to boot into bootloader and flash TWRP with odin.
No, your files in internal and external storage are not deleted when you format dalvik,cache,system and data partitions.
Edit: volume-down + home + power (boot to bootloader)
volume-up + home + power (boot to recovery)

Okay thanks.
By the way what version of TWRP would work great? (I have XXANF4 stock kernel btw, i still can't access the main screen of the phone after booting up)
And if i wipe system and data partitions will it delete the settings i have on the phone (ex. WiFi connection history, Bluetooth transfer history etc.)?
Thanks again.

I still can't access the phone. It just boots up, shows the lockscreen, then crashes and automatically reboots, then gets stuck in a bootloop.

Do a factory reset
Go to advance and format system and data
Then flash Stock Deodex Prerooted rom by akshay
Done
It won't delete anything
Flash cwm for star via odin
Then flash twrp via cwm
Remove ur SD card and using a card reader copy ROM file into SD card.
Mount ur SD card
Then flash the rom

I mean, it deletes all the settings right? Like WiFi hotspots and bluetooth transfer history and every app i have on my phone. I just can't wrap my head around the idea that i will delete all of that just because my phone crashes on passing through the boot screen. . .

U couldn't mention what tweaks did u installed to boost the phone and what exactly happened.
So,all I can say is 'do a factory reset'..
Just flash official firmware. The problem was automatically fixed without wiping data.

What he suggested will delete the lockscreen password/passcode etc so you can boot the phone without any prompts. You do this within TWRP.

Are you coming from MIUI? If so then MIUI encrypts the data partition, hence the new ROM asking for a password.
Before you install the ROM, you must "format data" on wipe in TWRP, this is different from wipe data.
Note that this will delete all your data obviously.

Are you sure that you used "format data"?
Wipe data doesn't remove the encryption.

You can actually flash a custom rom, and then revert back to miui, this would take time, but is much more easy, and has less chances to permanently brick your device.

how to do it, i have already downloaded rr rom and cm 14.1
cutecrocodile said:

ok, so first of all what you need is the cm firmware and the rom file, and also gapps if u need.
this is the firmware file - https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634766008
Follow these steps -
1. Copy the firmware and rom file (and gapps if you have) to a place other than your phones internl storage like on an sd card or i you have a pc, then theres no problem, just leave the files on pc.
2. boot to twrp, here go to wipe and then select format data, here type yes and enter - this will wipe your internal storage. after that go back and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik.
3. now if you have a memory card inserted, with the rom files then skip this step, but if you do not,then connect your phone to pc using the data cable and copy the files to internal storage.
4. now firstly install the firmware,then the rom, and then any addons like gapps.
5. now reboot. you will boot to rr.
6. after booting, if you wish to install miui again, head to http://en.miui.com/download.html
and from there download the build you like, (choose redmi note 4x and there the global build)
7. now again boot to twrp, and format data, and wipe data, cache, system and dalvik. now copy the miui file, super su and the lazyflasher file.
8. install miui and lazyflasher, and reboot (it will say 'no os installed' but its fine, just reboot)
9. now after miui has booted, reboot to recovery, and install super su and lazyflasher, this should do it
thank you so much, i did it
super su should be installed first or lazy flash?

You have to clear dalvik/art cache after flashing supersu.zip and restart. It will boot loop one time and on second time the phone will successfully boot. Now flash lazyflasher and follow the steps again.
Hey all, so it appears that I screwed my phone, I am not sure how.
I was running LineageOS, and wanted to update to Android 10 one, so I followed the steps, and I think I screwed the sideloading part, so... long story short now when rebooting from OrangeFox RecoveryProject it says no OS detected, and when it boots it says encryption unsuccessful, I tried wiping and installing DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v17.2 and restarting, and the same thing happens.
I tried to flash through recovery both, and did not work:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/beryllium/
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/vendor/beryllium/
And when trying to flash through miFlash it doesn't work:
I go to fastboot in poco, hit refresh in miflash, it shows a device in the list, but the phone goes dark with 'something key to shutdown` written in the top left corner and if I hit the flash button nothing happens.
Can anyone assist with that please?

This happened to me when I accidentally deleted the OS when flashing the latest MIUI 11 build (using TWRP). THIS IS HOW I FIXED IT.
Find a full firmware of whatever you wanted to flash, either Lineage or MIUI 11. Then flash via your recovery (you said you have orangefox). Use an external sd card, external USB or HDD since you technically wouldn't have access to your internal data. After flashing, same process as most updates, clear cache and dalkiv. Then flash a newer DFE (if you still want to decrypt, there is a page here in xda with it. Or go to miui forums Happybuddhist, the mod there, made a new one prebuilt with Magisk). Then reboot into recovery to make sure you keep your custom recovery. Once booted to recov. Boot to system. Should fix the issue.

I tried that, now I am a step forward I think, I flashed the stock firmware I found, and installed the latest stock ROM, rebooted (doesn't say no os anymore), but the only thing I see is a DELETE ALL DATA button and at the bottom 'Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google account.'

So I had an OS-less phone that don't get recognised in MiFlash, and I had orangeFox recovery.
The steps to fix were:
- Flash a full stock Firmware
- Flash the stock ROM
- Flash DFE
- Format data to ext4
- Reboot and it works
So thanks all for your help
