I literally got my Mi Pad 4 (lte) today. Initially it had MIUI EU rom installed, but I somehow managed to wipe the system while trying to install Lineage 16, resulting in having no OS. After several hours of struggle, I managed to install MIUI 10 Chinese stock (10.3.2) via MiFlash. However, I cannot go pass the twrp password stage when I use twrp on adb. I tried formatting data a few times, but it didn't work. I tried adb sideload option from twrp to install twrp or any other ROM, but again, the data mounting issue got in the way. I am completely stuck, and I am desperate. I have tried many different versions of twrp available on this forum, but none of them worked. Could anyone possibly help me? Which twrp worked for you? I've tried:
"TWRP-20190104-3.2.3.0-3-clover.img"; "twrp-3.3.1-clover.img" (from unofficial twrp); "recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-0930-XIAOMI_PAD4(PLUS)-CN-wzsx150.img".
Any help would be hugely appreciated! Many thanks!!!
Problem solved! I used the latest version of the Chinese TWRP (by LR Team) which has a function to disable forced encryption. I needed to reboot the tablet a couple of times to achieve it, but eventually the password step on TWRP was gone! Many thanks to LR Team!! I still don't know what (else) I should do when the 'format data' option on TWRP doesn't remove the encryption. .. Anyway, I have now managed to install MIUI 10 EU then Pixel Experience without an issue.

A month ago I tried installing Android 9.0 ROM and i got reboot loop after I did the phone setup. I tried different ROMs and everything had the same problem. Even twrp will also stop showing any files in the device and I need to change the file system and revert it back again then mount my phone to desktop and transfer the ROM. I was told that it was because of me not installing MIUI 10 before trying it. So today I installed MIUI 10 and tried installing lineage 16.0 and got the same problem. Phone starts going into reboot And recovery does not show any files!
Please help me from this hell! I'm hating this MIUI.

First of all I have to assume that you are sure that you have Redmi 5 plus (Vince) and not Redmi Note 5 Pro (Whyred), if this is the case let´s go to the next.
Any Miui rom encrypts data by default at least from oreo so no way to avoid this, if you flash a Miui rom then your data wont´be accesible and the next rom to be flashed you have to sideload it via adb (there are other ways).
I think you missed something here, if you flash a mui rom and over it a pie rom then there´s no way that your device reboots to system. You only have to flash firmware 8.1 from miui not the whole rom.
Start this from the scratch; I recommend OrangeFox recovery instead of TWRP so it has more features https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
- Before to flash nothing In orangeFox recovery enable the options DM-verity and disable force encryption, you will find too options to keep OTA and others, check which you want.
- Flash the firmware miui 8.1 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603850663
- Flash the pie rom for vince (may not apply for a GSI pie)
- Flash the Gapps (if needed)
it´s all.
Just a tip; be careful with changing system of files at any time so if the process is cutted/interrupted for some reason your device could be seriously damaged.
it does. you just need to flash firmware file first.
Hello Everybody,
I have so following problem with data encrypted in twrp:
I installed latest version of twrp
! Used MIUI 10 developer version and data was encrypted according Twrp (according to settings device is not encrypted.
To flash no new OS from Twrp I had to format all data.
After that I installed second latest (08.11) Pixel Experience and Magical latest version.
I rebooted system.
! No Twrp and magisk APK installed.
Manually installed Twrp and magisk APK
I can install adaway also (superuser is installed)
Problem:
System mentioned that there is a new version of Pixel experience (15.11) and I wanted to install it. But it didn't work -> Twrp stopped installation, because data is still encrypted.
To install latest version I formated everything again and did above steps. But again with same result... I can install everything (manually) and everything works without to install new versions of Pixel Experience or anything else from Twrp recovery.
I tried to encrypt my phone over settings, but after encryption the system freezes after putting in pin code at the start. In twrp recovery I have to put in the code too, but again encryption is still available...
I have no further idea. Could you help me? Don't want to loose all data Everytime an update appears
Magisk "force encryption" manually enabled. The other setting is not enabled.
Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

Not sure if it is the right place to ask the question but I hope somebody can help me (I am not a developer but just a user):
Encrypted LineageOS 15.1 is perfectly running on our Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x. Just the OTA updates won't work without disabling the PIN screen lock as TWRP would not be able decrypt data. But the newest TWRP should solve the problem:
https://twrp.me/site/update/2018/08/06/twrp-3.2.3-0-released.html
But I can not update TWRP. When I follow this guide:
http://www.droidbro.com/how-to-update-twrp-recovery-to-latest-version-no-pc/
I get stock as TWRP is "unable to mount data" (error).
The solutions for that (unable to mount data) mostly involves some wiping of partition with the side-effects of losing data which I don't like as LineageOS is running well and I have no problem (except the OTA update problem):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/fix-how-to-solve-unable-to-mount-data-t3770539
I tried to flash with fastboot and adb but no devices is listed (adb devices):
https://www.howtogeek.com/240047/how-to-flash-twrp-recovery-on-your-android-phone/
How can I solve this conundrum?
Any help is welcome!
In the end I had to wipe it and start from scratch.
Maybe the last link with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" would have still be an option.
And unfortunately with the new install, I have the encryption problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78889187&postcount=10130 :crying:
(sorry if posting in the wrong place)
Background:
A few months, after receiving my Mi Note 10 Lite Miui 11 to 12 update, I finally rooted the phone using the Magisk patched boot method. All fine.
A while ago, with the latest MIUI 12 minor update we got, I lost root again. Now I wanted to root it again, and tried to find if there was already a working TWRP for this phone.
What happened:
After googling a bit, I found a post on XiaomiEU that had instructions to install a working TWRP (to install the rom). So I followed the steps, flashing vbmeta and the twrp image. Rebooted to recovery and as it was installed, I rebooted to system. After that, the first problem. It would only boot the twrp, not system.
To fix this, I got the latest stock fastboot rom and installed it via miFlash (with flash_all_but_storage option). Managed to boot again to Miui. After doing the google restoring steps, I found out that all my internal storage files were encrypted.
What I've tried so far:
formatted data (not internal storage and data/media) and tried again
installed a different TWRP I found here in XDA that supposedly would decrypt the files (twrp-3.4.0-14-toco-mauronofrio). It asks for the encryption password when starting and I get a success message when entering the right password, but even in the recovery file manager the files are encrypted.
installing recovery rom through TWRP without formatting data
(side note: on system, the Xiaomi Cloud restore seems to be always stuck without restoring anything and there is no way to stop it)
Can anyone please help me get my files (photos and videos, more importantly) back? Is there any hope? The files are there and I know the password, there must be something I can do...
Thanks in advance
Do you want to keep MIUI or go to a custom rom ?
My Nord N10 5G is now SoftBricked
First I installed TWRP through adb. Then I restarted and everything was fine.
Then I try to flash the lineage os unofficial from the XDA thread. flash was successful but,
It was stucked in the starter animation of lineageos.
I rebooted on twrp and saw that many storage blocks were missing, including internal storage. I try to restore the original firmware but this was unsuccessful.
try to flash aosp official via adb sideload. but there was an error and adb sideload wasn't start correctly.
then via sdcard, flashed aosp os. flash was successful but, there was many storage block missing errors. and again, aosp also stucked.
Has anyone had such an experience? How did you come up with the solution?
Solved
Just factory reset from "Pixel Experience recovery menu" .
