Can't acces internal storage after OTA flash - OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A

Hi there. I couldn't pass safety net at my new 7T Pro. So i figured out to flash fresh OOS11 package from Oneplus website in TWRP. Everything was ok. I was at slot B so it flashed at slot A, but after reboot i've got stuck in bootloop and lost TWRP. I installed once again TWRP and now i can't acces to my internal storage (it shows "0 mb"). I deleted my pattern and fingerprint before installing OTA. Please help, what is going on ?
EDIT: I flashed the latest version of the TWRP and it succesfuly booted. All my files are visible now.
EDIT2: I flashed package again and problem still exist. It isn't TWRP's fault. I think i just booted my previous A/B slot. TWRP can't decrypt my device with the other OOS package installed. But why? I already removed pattern and fingerprint, and TWRP dont' ask me for password...
EDIT3: Oneplus did publish at their official site old zip package. So i was basicaly doing downgrade and that's why it didn't work out.

problem with TWRP ZCX flashing

So guys this is my scenario....
1)i was using slimrom 7.1.2 before a week
2)then came back to the final MIUI 8 dev rom(7.8.something) (marshmallow)to try out xposed again
3)then today i flashed AOSP oreo
4)on booting it asked for my previous screen lock password...when i entered it, it gave an error stating "ur password is correct but ur data is corrupt so u need to format ur phone to continue"
5)as i had some files on internal i force restarted it to TWRP and tried to flash the same version of slimrom again but it ended with an error "ZIP signature verification"....
6)this same error shows up when trying to flash any custom rom
7)currently i have disabled "zip signature verification" option in ZCX twrp settings
Can anyone tell me what is causing the ZIP SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED error??....
I face this password error from official miui developer to MCaosp oreo rom.
I tried some twrp recovery like zcx and inline and red wolf. but no result.
how can I flash oero roms?
solved: I did Format data (not wipe data) and I pass enter password error.
I had the same problem but with official twrp, try flashing another recovery or,
You can copy your to pc while in TWRP and then format data, format system, install custom rom,
If it didn't work, flash latest stable miui firmware, unlock bootloader, install twrp, install custom rom, It'll work.
Thanks guys....but I can't even flash any nougat or marshmallow based ROMs...always ends up with ZIP SIGNATURE VERIFICATION error...any idea what caused this error....previously I was able to flash without this error...only solution I found so far is to disable the zip signature verification setting in twrp menu
Bootloader Locked
So basically the problem is that the bootloader has been locked or the data has been encrypted by the previous rom so to solve this problem and the signature error what you need to do is go twrp and hit wipe->format data ..then it will ask you to type "yes"....
BY PRESSING THE "YES " IT WILL FORMAT EVERYTHING IN THE STORAGE...I REPEAT DO TAKE A BACKUP OF DATA BEFORE DOING THIS...
after the wiping process is done the encryption is removed so now the internal storage is empty so make sure you have rom in SD card so flash the ROM and the gapps and you are good to go..
Hope this solved your problem..
Thanks vamskiri....will try it
Here read this.
You flashed miui dev (official) so what offcial dev roms do is they encrypt your phone (idk why) but it automatically decrypts while updating through OTA. And as it is encrypted and it automatically decrypts in OTA updates, so to use another custom roms you've to decrypt it by yourself but neither you or I know the decryption password. So the only option you have now is to format data / factory reset. (IT WILL WIPE EVERY LAST FILE EXCLUDING SYSTEM) :good:

Data Encrypted - Pixel Experience Android 9

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!!!!!

Stuck on poco by xiaomi boot screen

Im stuck on poco boot screen and after few seconds it reboots to fastboot.
I did a twrp backup (system, vendor, data and boot) when everything was working but now after i try to restore the twrp backup, it still doesnt fix the problem.
before this, i flashed a new PE build and that had a boot loop for some reason.
wtf?
How does my twrp backup restore doesnt fix it ?
Do i have to miflash a fastboot rom ? is it the only fix for me now ?
You may find your solution here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-decryption-t3853004/page42
You can also install latest ROM and restore data only.

i dont have a firmware zip in my storage and i cant push it through adb because i didnt have debugging enabled. So i cant cleanflash because i dont have the firmware zip. Looks like i will need to use the mifash method.
flash the original Vendor image!
if you have flashed PE over MIUI10.2.x
, this mean you have used MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE
poco supports Treble!
you cannot flash PE/ or any other custom rom over modified vendor image
take the latest vendor image from mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
and flash it view twrp
and reboot
you wil lbe fine
i fixed the problem. I put firmware - vendor zip in sd card and flashed it through sd card. All good now. Thanks for trying to help my dumb ass.
i guess there might be some magisk module thats causing the bootloop after i flash a new build of rom . Maybe.
If thats the case. There's a flashable zip file that lets you disable a magisk module via TWRP.. ehehehe.. happened to me too. I flash gl tools via magisk systemless then it got stuck on pocofone f1 loading screen.. so i flashed that magisk module disabler.. hit some commands via TWRP TERMinal emu.. then it boot right away..

Always uninstall Magisk before flashing new update if you are on official twrp cuz it doesn't support ota, update then reinstall it. If you have did so wipe encrypted internal storage , wait a bit it will boot .

Tell someone to call you, it was glitchy for me for the first 2-3 mins after the call but later works fine.

Mi A3 Android 10 v11.0.15 unable to flash twrp and magisk

Hi I recently updated my Mi A3 to May Android 10 update i.e. v11.0.15 . Before this it was rooted with TWRP and Magisk as now both of these softwares are gone due to update. Now i want to flash TWRP first but unable to install it as I changed the active slot to A (current B) as per old method but nothing happened and phone stucked at Fastboot screen. This thing really concerns me as if I flash twrp.img at slot B, does it boot properly? Other way around to root Mi A3 using Magisk manager by patching boot.img of V11.0.15. Where can i get this and is it a reliable method without flashing custom recovery like TWRP? Can i flash any other good custom recovery?

I only used the files from that link. I did not read it anything. But Thanks, you pointed this out.
This means that the next time I wipe data in TWRP, then I should first enable "use rm -rf instead of formatting" in TWRP settings
I have never tried 'wipe data' on this phone. But I'll remember this the next time I 'wipe data'. Thanks, you just saved me.

DESPERATELY NEEDING HELP!!! - Encrypted data

(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 ?
