disable data encryption, MLC nand write cycle is limited and encryption is make it worst
how to :
- download and unzip xiaomi.eu_multi_POCOX3NFC_V12.0.4.0.QJGMIXM_v12-10.zip
- download and unzip vendor patch xiaomi.eu_multi_POCOX3NFC_V12.0.4.0.QJGMIXM_v12-10_VENDOR_NOENCRYPT
- replace 3 vendor files from xiaomi.eu_multi_POCOX3NFC_V12.0.2.0.QJGMIXM_v12-10.zip with my vendor patch
- repack/zip rom
- goto twrp and format data
- install repacked rom
- reboot
- done
This method need format data although MIUi Eu installed? So I can't dirty flash from stock Miui Eu?
@Alvian_P, sure because xiaomi.eu rom using encrypted data by default

sorry, i not using xiaomi ue rom anymore
Will this work on official miui rom (not xiaomi.eu)? Also does it remain active after a custom ROM flash (I suppose yes)?
Can this be used inside a custom fastboot script to flash only vendor partition?

What I meant can you temper with data partition and be able to mount it afterwards? Everytime you're getting scrambled filenames and you have to format because of losing the encryption keys.

no, only vendor, follow the first post if you want include firmware with same version
Dumb question: how do you test the un-encrypted status of the vendor partition afterwards?

hii,
My device is currently running on miui 8.5.4.0 global stable,i want to flash los 14.1,and planned some steps in order to revert back to miui safely.please correct me if i am wrong.
1.boot into twrp recovery.
2.Take full backup of current working rom including system.
3.clear data/system/cache/dalvik.
4.flash firmware-los rom-gapps-reboot.
Steps to revert back:-
1.boot into twrp recovery.
2.clear data/system/cache/dalvik.
3.restore full miui backup including system.
4.flash lazy flasher zip to disable dm-verity and forced encryption.
5.reboot.
i have just learnt basics completely but i had some doubts so i posted the entire procedure i thought to do.
thanks.
After taking backup first go to Wipe menu and "Format Data" , type yes and reboot recovery, it will remove encryption - then you can wipe data/system/cache etc..
/system wipe is never necessary .. You can skip that

doesn't it mess up with firmware flash of custom rom?does a custom rom contains a system partition of its own to be flashed?or it just replaces or moves required system files to system partition of stock rom? help me to clear my concept!

Every ROM does contains its own system ..
When you flash any ROM (a full fledged ROM not OTAs) , the previous system is replaced by the later one ..

You'll have to understand what Format Exactly we are here talking about .. When you go to TWRP/wipe , you are provided with 2 options , Format and Advanced wipe .
The format option is set to "wipe" the partitions, /data /cache /dalvik , that is generally what we require in order to flash ROMs , the wipe Option is hence the same as format , but I think the guy above is talking about Full fledged Wipe that includes the "internal storage" as well which can be selected by twrp/wipe/advanced wipe

thanks.one more question.
why dont i need to disable dm-verity and forced encryption after flashing custom rom?why kernel doesn't trigger it,because in that case there is a modification in system partition and dm-verity feature of kernel should prevent the rom from booting.
The "kernel" itself also gets replaced by a modified kernel .. But then again , I'm not sure as to why DM verity doesn't kick in , better ask the Developers (Y)

Then I am out of ideas!
I try official releases of lineage 15.1, Omnirom and when I run encryption from option (with password), android reboot without encryption of /data partition.
I have seen that unoffical release of lineage 16, Aosp 9 has issues in hardware encryption. No problem with official MIUI Rom also.
Are there any custom rom for mido that allow encryption ?
(My configuration, special MIDO TWRP treble support)
Thanks for your experience return.
I think it depend of the data partition if its F2FS or EXT4 , but i dont encrypt anymore , the one who would crack my phone would be left with unsatisfaction, at the end it would just prove that humans are never satisfied.
i am using lineage os 15.1 with encryption.
I didnt manually encrypted my phone but it got encrypted during installation of los 15.1

Are you sure ? because the assistant does not prompt for encryption but only for lock password.
I have tryed to reset with flashboot flash_all.sh but no difference after Los 15.1 install
What recovery do you use ? TWRP or REDWOLF ?

For installation i used twrp posted on 1st page.
but now i am using red wolf recovery.
yes it doesn't prompt for encryption but i think setting the lock pattern encrypted the phone as i have to draw the same pattern to access internal storage using red wolf and during booting.

Curious because, android need the password in order to decrypt…
Did your recovery prompt for password ? (recovery is OS independant) if not, your device is not encrypted.

yes recovery asks for password to decrypt internal storage by the way have you checked the screenshot i have attached.
thanks, yes i have seen sreenshot.
I really don't understand because it s do basic.
I use the same twrp,
I wipe all partitions
after that, the redmi note 4 is empty (no system, no data...)
I install los 15.1
run encryption with assistant
the redmi immediatly reboot without pass throught mi boot logo screen
and no encryption
I can loop that everytimes.
It's curious because the redmi immediatly reboot like a bad reboot. (like an error)
I don"t know if there is any log of that
steps that i followed
flashed twrp
wipe all
advance data format (entered YES to format)
and finally flashed los.
I found it !!!
This can save people.
I have to leave 4K block into userdata partition.
In fact, fastboot, and TWRP can break filesystem and resize filesystem to all partition size.
Encryption need 4K block in order to write encryption data about userdata patition.
I have resized my ext4 filesystem with resize2fs.
Now all is OK !!!!
After that, I also format from ext4 to f2fs.
Thanks

@Topser99 has provided us with some newly modified recoveries.
They all have TWRP 3.4 and also now 3.5
⇨NewUpdate
-update kernel
By : @physwizz
Follow : @ULtimaTe_Pie2
Follow Galaxy_A20_official
System and System_root
Twrp-sm-a20 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Choose .img you want and flash it from your current recovery onto the recovery slot.
Then reboot into recovery.
Or choose the .tar to flash from odin
You must be aware though that your previous backups will not restore .
You should read this next section carefully.
TWRP recovery Incompatability Issue
There are 2 types of recovery:
Type 1 backs up /system
Type2 backs up /system_root but labels it "system"
Both types work well but you can't backup on one type and restore on the other
To overcome this problem, I suggest that filenames of TWRPs should either contain SYSTEM or SYSTEM_ROOT
Also.
TWRP 3.4 is incompatible with TWRP 3.3 and @Topser had modded to produce TWRP 3.4 for us to use.
So now there are 4 types:
1. TWRP 3.3 SYSTEM
2. TWRP 3.3 SYSTEM_ROOT
3. TWRP 3.4 SYSTEM
4. TWRP 3.4 SYSTEM_ROOT
A backup made with one type will not restore with any of the other 3 types.
Post 2
I can confirm TWRP 3.4 SYSTEM version works correctly (including MTP at recovery level). Funnily enough, I just finished porting the A30 version for myself and came up with an almost identical result. I remove the fstab lines for product image, vendor image and system image just to make it cleaner
Thanks for doing this for all @Topser
Whats the difference between system_root and system ?
So this can be installed over 3.3 aswell ?

Twrp_3.3 mount system before installing a zip for supersu =>> system/sbin,bin,xbin
Twrp_3.4 unmount system before installing a zip for magisk =>>/data/adb/magisk

It's disabled by default since most things using recovery work systemlessly. Most packages that use the system mount point will automatically mount system for reading and writing anyway. So there's no need to mess with the toggle.

Hi, I'm looking for an overall guide how to do a full backup (from XZ1 #1) and restore (on XZ1 #2) of a currently running ROM which includes also all data.
My XZ1 has an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. But last time I tried, I was not able to create a backup of the data partition in TWRP!?

Thank you for this fine version of twrp.
