Hi, is there any solution to install TWRP recovery without having to format user data, and of course without having errors like "unable to mount data".....
Thanks, I have Note 3 SD running the last MIUI for developers (Marshmallow).
use the below recovery

Thanks, it works very well but I noticed an issue: when installing a ROM with this recovery, the ROM doesn't boot, displaying only the boot logo bit never starts
I think you should return to miui 7 then you can flash any rom .
I did same this
I hate to flash any from Miui MM.

link attached here for 20s twrp backup of X727 for those who already have twrp recovery and are having difficulties in updating from 19S to 20S, you can simply just use this.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1tni8kCEA5SN29IUk1rSEx0LW8
Note: will advise not to check the recovery during the restoration as it will restore the stock recovery.
Update: If you are coming from 19s pls do a full wipe before applying this 20s restoration and do not forget to make backup before applying this.

I just tried it now and it booted up successfully, so i dont know what is the problem in your case. I think you should try to do a normal wipe in twrp(data,cache and dalvik) or maybe a full wipe before rebooting the system. but before doing a full wipe make a backup and pull the backup from your phone to pc while in twrp mode. using this command "adb pull /sdcard/TWRP TWRP"

mine also did the same, stuck on the EUI screen. At the end what worked is, I restored from my TWRP backup of 19s and then took the ota. All is good now.

I have restored it 3 times, I never had that issue.I think is had to actually do with wiping before restoring although I didn't do any wiping in my case.

And thanks to HewettBR about the wipe info.

I think there are 1,2 or more persons who mentioned in some post that they flashed it from TWRP.
If i restore using this TWRP backup....will it automatically flash the accurate modem baseband firmware for band 12 support ?

TWRP restore went great. Coming from 19s on unlocked bootloader & TWRP. Now on 20s.
My steps:
Wipe system, cache, divak cache (didn't wipe data)
Flash boot & system partitions only
Than flash SuperSU.
Rebooted and it went well.
Thanks!

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

oh in that case, should I have to factory reset everytime I flash a rom through my TWRP? I use ZCX TWRP, so Lazy flasher is not required after rom flashing right?
you just need it once . to decrypt your storage

In the information about the ZCX TWRP I found below:
ZCX TWRP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...persu-t3462448
- Based on official TWRP 3.0.2-0
- Patches boot.img automatically (Removes dm-verity flag)
- Disables forced encryption
Should I have to tweak anything in TWRP settings to remove this dm-verify flag everytime?

I tried it. Earlier i did not have any issue even if i install custom rom on my Redmi note 3. But today i thought of trying Pure Nexus *Substratum* rom. And on the first boot it asked me to enter password. though i have never kept password for my mobile, i tried all the passwords that i remember, which didnt solve my issue. then saw ur reply and tried it, and still it didnt work for me. Any other way?:crying:

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.

Posted a thread on MIUI forum as well. Waiting for some sort of help. Earlier i was able to install Custom Rom's without any issue, (though i am coming from MIUI), but now what ever may be the rom that i am trying to flash, the first boot is asking me for password. Unable to understand what is the issue.

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

Perfect. Worked bro. Thanks a lot for the help. I was wiping cache,and internal storage. Now only came to know this. :highfive:
hi i tryed to convert my redmi note 4x to global when flashing with mi flash tool i did it without clean and after that firmware finish installing but got stuck in bootloop now i flashed twrp and tryed to flash custom rom but again bootloop when i check my storage it shows 9gb now when its actual is 32gb i think i disturbed partitions any solution available?
Are you able to boot into TWRP?? If not flash TWRP first using fastboot.
Once you have access to TWRP boot into it and perform a full wipe (System + Data + Cache + Dalvik + Internal Storage). Perform a format too after wipe to be on the safer side. Now copy a custom ROM or MIUI ROM to your Internal Storage or SD card through a computer. Once copied install your ROM.
If you flashed custom ROM flash Gapps after flashing ROM. Reboot.
If you flashed MIUI, flash lazyflasher after that(or phone will be stuck at MI logo). Reboot.
You can find download links for lazyflasher here on XDA or you can google it too.

@ArK96 is right but the only thing i suggest is to, flash miui and lazyflasher first so as to properly set up the initial firmware, and partitioning. After miui boots properly, you can do anything you want. :highfive:

Go here and download the Global Stable worldwide release version firmware.
Boot into twrp wipe and format everything. Also after that reflash TWRP again using fastboot.
Once reflashed boot into TWRP and again perform a full wipe and format, then install the downloaded firmware zip. After that reboot TWRP and try flashing MIUI.

Yes. Red wolf is more MIUI friendly, it is made with OTA survival in mind. But your issue is that the ROM is not getting flashed. You can try what I said above about TWRP reflash, if it doesn't work you can go ahead and try redwolf. REDWOLF is nothing but modded TWRP, base code is still TWRP.

Its not a hard brick, its a soft brick.
You need to download the original firmware file and flashed with Odin.
Try this
Download the correct firmware for your phone
Go to sammoble for firware
Download Odin for Samsung
Make sure phone is at least 50 percent charged
Put phone into download mode
But is it normal that oem unlock not blue? So there stands only that its already unlocked..
So THANKS to you!!!

yes, Its normal.
When you unlock it ( became blue ) then your boot loader is unlock and you can flash custom recover and custom rom as well.
But why i had the problem that twrp can't mount system? Do i have to unlock oem after flash, too? But at the first time, twrp was able to mount it... ?

unlock OEM then boot into download mode
Flash recovery.
Wipe data and internal storage
Then flash custom rom
So now whe n i flash twrp, twrp isn't abel to mount all data (system, data, and so on)
Tough luck my friend, shouldn't have rooted your phone and why did you, root isn't needed anymore, 2 or 3 years ago maybe but not now. Maybe contact Samsung and tell them what's happened lol.

because twrp cannot decrypt Samsung's data, the only way it can is doing a format data, that means deleting everything to be able to write and mount data afterwards because the new data will be uncrypted, reason why before playing with root and twrp you need to backup all your stuff, once it is gone, there is no way back. So read a lot before playing with phones and their OS

I had a backup.. but before that all.. twrp was not able to restore it.. so after flash oruginal firmware via odin, my phone was reseted..
well, now you mention you had a backup, did you check the day the backup was made, that it was successfull? I guess, maybe the data partition is still good? so you could get your stuff back
I had once a twrp back that fail to restore 3 times, but at the 4th it went through ok.
