Disregard unless you want to laugh at me~
Right well i thought it was a good idea to flash ANXcamera through Magisk on the PE+ rom.
After downloading and installing the zip through magisk, i restarted my device and it go stuck in a bootloop. So i went into TWRP and installed uninmod which failed to mount magisk.img. I didnt have a lot of stuff on my phone, so i thought id just reflash the rom again. instead of PE+ which was not stable for my use, i decided to go with the EvolutionX rom. So i put EvoX rom and DFE on an external micro sd card and threw that in the phone. Following the instructions they have on their post, I managed to clear data/cache/system and internal storage (because there was something on there causing it not to boot (most likely ANX)). Flashed EvoX rom and DFE. Restarted the device to the system and managed to forget the Vendor firmware (after i scrolled down to the first comment on the EvoX post that says the flash it). I thought it was a great idea to restart the phone halfway through its first initial boot to go back to TWRP to flash the vendor firmware. But now TWRP is asking for a password. i have tried default_password and still nothing. Didn't think EvoX would boot without the vendor firmware.
Do i have any options from now? Love to hear any suggestions.
Cheers
EDIT: Should've pressed READ ONLY on TWRP. rookie maneuver, completely forgot. ended up flashing a different rom and worked fine.
Simply reflash TWRP via ADB

1. evolution x has its own vendor so you didnt have to flash any! even if you forgot it was fine!
2. seems like initially before flashing that modded cam via magisk, that rom was flashed without DFE (treble) (global) .
3. hence when you booted, the encryption stepped in.
however now
the only thing you can do is to reflash everything AFTER "FORMATING DATA"
1. use twrp from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80122987&postcount=305
2. format data , change data partition's file system to xFAT and then back to ext4. (if necessary)
3. flash firmware 9.6.27-9.0 ( is popular)
4. don't flash pe, flash some other Custom rom, I would say Bootleggers
5. flash DFE Treble
6. flash Magisk20
reboot
got her working. cheers boys

Ok... So...
I installed fulmics through TWRP and all worked great
After that, I installed a v30 Rom also with TWRP and that worked great, too, but i decided i like fulmics more and wanted to go back
Retried TWRP and kinda worked, but some errors were popping up all the time, so i decide to reinstall it
Now here i am. When it boots, goes straight in TWRP. I tried a stock zip to flash with TWRP, no luck.
When in TWRP I can see the phone on pc, internal storage in empty.
Fastboot works.
When i load up LGUP, under the version tab, it shows fulmics mod and i can't take any action
How fried is it?

Try doing a complete wipe, wipe cache, Dalvik, data, system. Then wipe internal storage via the format data option and reboot recovery. I am guessing that you're on the h850 variant so Flash the 20s complete firmware zip then flash SuperSU or magisk. See if it boots into system.
I do still suggest hooking it up to your PC and flashing stock firmware kdz 20s using uppercut. If if it is recognizing fastboot commands then you should have no issue flashing a new recovery image after you load the stock kdz, you may even be able to flash a new recovery image instead of going through all the other steps that I listed. Which may some your issue. But it's best to format data entirely before flashing anymore ROMs, and use lgup via uppercut to flash stock firmware and let it boot entirely before reflashing fulmics.
But formatting data is key to reset the system folders which were leftover from other ROMs and likely the cause of the issues you experienced.
Hi, i was trying to install lineage os 16 and when i rebooted my phone, lineage os was asking for password, i panicked, launched TWRP and wiped data and restored a backup, since then im in bootloop. I dont know how to install lineage os or stock MIUI now that i cant boot my phone.
(i tried copying some files from my pc to poco but TWRP doesnt seem to recognice them to let me install)
Any help would be really appreciated!
EDIT: installed stock rom with xiaomi flash tool
First you should have flashed DFE you could have also fixed that by formatting the internal storage, anyways try flashing compatible vendor, firmware files are then flash LOS 16 with DFE if it doesn't work flash stock miui with and make sure to flash DFE after that or you'll lose TWRP and will get back on stock recovery

Thanks, i had flashed firmware and then los 16, i followed munchy steps from youtube except that i installed newer version of magisk and TWRP, i skipped DFE because i wanted to have LOS16 encrypted (i thought this was not a must).
So it is not possible to skip DFE? or if i would had just formatted internal storage as you say would solve the password issue?

If you want your device encrypted follow the same steps as you previously did and reboot if it asks for password just go back to twrp go to wipe and simply format from there it should solve the problem:good:

Great! Thanks a lot, gonna try that and write back.
Repeated the process to install LOS16, and this time it didnt ask for password. :laugh:
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
Hello
I was at RUI C07 stock firmware.
I've managed to unlock the bootloader and to install TWRP 3.4.0. Then I've tried to flash derpfest (android 10), LineageOS and RevengeOS.
All of them seems to have flashed successfully, but TWRP always warns that there is no OS installed when I try to reboot. When I do reboot, it tries to load something, fails and goes back to TWRP.
What is the problem? Should I try to flash vbmeta? Where can I find it? I'm completely lost.
Thanks in advance
I've just followed the "unbrick guide" and there was little developement...Now the phone boots to fastboot/bootloader by default. I can boot to recovery if I request it. But if I just turn on the system or if I request system, it stops at the bootloader.
What a roller coaster ride!
What seems to have worked for me was to flash yet another ROM (crDroid). But this time I made sure that I've formatted DATA, and then I've wiped vendor, system, caches, internal disk.
I may have forgotten to format the data partition before, which might have been the cause for so much trouble.
If you are reading this, don't forget to format the data partition before flashing a custom ROM, at east when coming from the stock rom.
Hi, I've recently repaired my mido with a new screen after a fall. After this I tried some custom roms. Initially I managed to install lineage 18.1. After I switched to dotOS. From this point on, the phone restarts a few seconds after the launcher appears. To fix this I used MiFlah to install latest MIUI, formatted data, wiped everything, tried TWRP and Orangefox, tried other custom roms with no changes. Now only stock MIUI11 works. Other custom roms (included lineage) gets the phone continuously rebooting. Could be an hardware problem? What am I doing wrong? It is the first time in ages I have problems flashing ROMS .-.
Thanks.

The vendor partition could have some code/ file that persists stock ui or system
and make sure your phone was rooted before flashing custom rom
and also via twrp flashing. from what Ive seen flash in twrp before flash custom rom( https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=disable+encryption+treble ) then flash the "verity and encryption disabler ,theres another one to re enable encyption only " then flash custom rom
after flashing custom rom reboot poweroff(switch phone off via twrp)
reboot into twrp and flash whatever else you need
now reboot to system and your phone should work fine
Thanks, it worked!
I did:
Flash last miui with miflash
Flash recovery
Flash you suggested zip
Format data
Flash lineage 17.1 (android10)
WIpe system, data, cache, art cache
Flash any android 11 ROM

Holy **** how did you come up with this.
Either the zip with Magisk somehow fixed it or installing the android 10 rom somehow. Either way doesn't make sense

Didn't work for me,
- did all the steps , exactly - flashed stock fastboot , then flashed Android 10 based rom crDroid + pico gapps. worked fine for 2 hours or so .
but interesting enough , phone freezes then shutdown without restarting , then i would go and trun it back on , but fingerprint not working now

i think somewhere in the process the persist partition gets damaged .

so if you have magisk you can use a zip file to chmod 744 or 644 (it may be "chmod root 744" )the /persist partiton and thatll mean only true root has access
so 7 is read write execute 6 is read and write 4 is read only 5 is read execute i forgot which number was execute only 1 maybe?
so play with the permissions or look in the root folder for boot.p or permissions.sh then you can modify in there the permissions, it can cause bootloop , so always keep an original copy or youll hae to reflash(DISCLAIMER)
so you can pull the file using adb+root / or a root explorer
Copy it to phone then edit then copy to SDCARD
reboot to twrp then use shell/terminal "chmod 777" the partition where the file is / or read write everything
then copy the file and overwrite the original
