Does format data make a a clean install of the rom or i need something else?
I have oneplus5, i just relocked bootloader to install stock oreo, so i wiped data. And now i download and install oreo via OTA. Does this mean i have a clean rom?
And what if now i want to install a custom rom? How can i clean install it?
Tell me only this to clear it on my mind.
Now i have stock oreo, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and rooted. If i go to TWRP and wipe system and data ( and boot?? or this causes brick?? ) and then move a rom ( custom or not ) to internal memory (without exiting TWRP!!) and install it, this is a 100% clean install? Or if i wipe system, then i cant access TWRP anymore?
And last question. If the above statement is true, the rom i try to install must be the same version and the previous, if i dont want to brick my device? Cause the kernel has memorize it?
Just help me clarify these things and i think i will have my question fully answered!
Thanks i advance guys!
This link shows the steps to clean flash a rom : https://www.guidingtech.com/47725/flashing-rom-guide-twrp-android/
But this applies if your current rom and the rom you want to install have the same android version, right? What if i have android 6 and i want to clean install android 8 custom?
Someone delete this thread pls.
A few days ago I installed RR Oreo on my device using twrp. Now I want to go back to MIUI and remove custom recovery. Basically I want to revert back to what it was before customising and stuff..
Right now, twrp asks for a password to work and even RR asks for a password before booting completely.
( Guess something to do with encryption)
Guys please suggest a fool proof method that won't brick my phone.
I searched on the net, but there were so many ways that I got confused..
Please help!!
Why would you even go back to miui?
Because I'm having issues
My camera isn't working, battery life sucks and there are heating issues.
Please tell me how to do it properly.
I think the device is encrypted. How to go about that?

If u coming from miui. Then Before installing custom rom U must format data in twrp. It formats the data and internal sd and decrypts the storage.
It will erase ur stuff.
First format data
Then wipe data factory reset
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
Thank you so much!!!! God bless you
Just one doubt.
I want to go back to MIUI from a custom ROM.
I made a twrp backup before installing my current ROM.
So after formatting data and wiping factory reset, can I use that backup to restore?
I tried restoring the backup earlier but the phone got stuck at mi logo (I didn't format data, maybe that's why it got stuck)
Try using Miflash

I wanted to do an update from xiaomi.eu MIUI 9.5.X ROM to MIUI 10 on my wife's Mi Note 3. Unfortunately, I run into encryption troubles. Here are the steps I did:
1. Booted to preinstalled TWRP (I think it was 3.0.2) and did a full backup. Unfortunatelly I only saved to internal phone storage :crying:
2. Wiped Dalvik+Cache
3. Tried to install MIUI 10 Stable but got some errors in TWRP (remember it saying Error 7). Tried to wipe System as well but didn't help.
4. I updated TWRP to 3.1.1. and then managed to successfully install MIUI 10 version. First boot went OK.
Because I wiped System in TWRP I lost all app settings. My idea was to proceed with a restore from a full 9.5.X backup and then repeat the update to MIUI 10 without wiping in order to keep all applications etc.
5. So I booted again to TWRP 3.1.1 and did a restore from a backup.
After the reboot following message appeared: ''Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To resume using your phone you need to perform a factory reset....''. In TWRP I can't access any files on internal storage - it shows 0 MB.
Can you please explain to me why this happened? Is it somehow related to TWRP update after performing a backup? I know that the solution is to format data in TWRP but I would like to avoid it. Is there any way of saving phone's data?? Does it make sense to try flashing MIUI 10 ROM via USB-OTG?
Any help would be highly appreciated. We really don't want to lose photos of our little baby from last holidays.
Thank you.
HI
after some wrong uninstalling service from my clean miui 9.6.25 global
i tried to restore rom by usual way from twrp.
but when done the pocophono never run to boot only logo screen(waiting atleast 15min which ofcourse is not normal).
has anyone faced that?
do i need to flash ENCRYPT disabler again after restore?:silly:
Come on......!!! cant be only me???!!!heheheh
TWRP is for lifesaver not to trouble as all know
I've found this too.
Encryption shouldn't matter.
Try restoring only one partition at a time to see which is causing the error. I think it's Userdata in my case, but Userdata Image may work.
I've not bothered to investigate why this happens yet.
ok
i will try mate.
thank u!
i will come backup for update
My phone had latest Miui9, then I installed Twrp and backup the Miui9 rom by Twrp.
then I flashed Miui 10, back up it with TWRP.
Then try to restore my Miui 9 Twrp backup, after done the phone boot to Fast boot mode only.
Even tried restore Miui10 still it would boot to fastboot mode only. Flash new rom and reboot it will ask for encryption password.
The fix is need to format data (Wipe > Format data > type yes, after flashed the rom), and reboot it should work.
Yeah, restoring MIUI backups is a real pain... Because of that, I always flash the ROM zip file first, then restore the data only, reboot and it works.

1st flashing miui rom.zip
2nd restore files with twrp backup file?
and all works perfect????
data? system? image system? which please
first time i hear this method...hehehe
pin\password asking after?
miui account find device e.t.c?
I switch ROMs pretty often and MIUI never booted after restoring.
There's a simple workaround: just reflash MIUI whenever you restored.

Install MIUI zip (with the same system you backed up), then go to restore and just restore data and nothing else. If you used Magisk before, flash it too after restoring. Then reboot. I don't know about Global ROMs as I always use Xiaomi.eu but I think it should work the same way. Oh, and never backup data with a password/pin/fingerprint set because it will not recognise it after reboot and you will have to use TWRP to delete locksettings from /data/system which adds unnecessary steps to this tedious procedure. Good luck.
thank u bro!

Hi, I'm having the same issue.
I get a PIN code. How can I bypass it?
How can I avoid it in the future?
Thanks!
if password promt during boot u have no option other than format data
only lockscreen can be deleted via twrp
I had the same problem in my pocophone and solved it like this:
1. Advanced wipe all data except Internal storage (so you do not lose your data)
1.1 Flash or boot twrp again
2. Install the official rom using the way you know
3. Starts android the first time but without doing the initial configuration of android (I'm not sure if this is necessary but it costs nothing to do it)
4. Through twrp, restores the data but only the options Boot and Data, dont select System
And that's it. I hope it works for you.
I was trying different combinations and I realized that it is the system folder that has a problem when you make the restoring, don't know why.
I was using pocophone with MIUI 10.2.2

Hello,
can someone tell me how exactly twrp backup and restore work? i was thinking its making full partition backup (something like Acronis on PC), but when i make backup (select all partitions) then messing around with different roms, wipe everything and try to restore its stuck in bootloop (even without OS logo), when i do restore then flash vendor, rom, dfe and magisk it boots, but device password is not right ( im entering right one )
is it because magisk or password or fingerprint?
