I flashed cyanogenmod 13 and gapps for marshmallow (from 6.12.2015) and it boots fine. All apps are installed, as before the update.
BUT
When I start any of these apps they seem to be reset to default as if they are newly installed. For example Threema starts setup process after start.
App data is still present on internal storage (did not wipe), but apps do not seem to have access to any of this data.
Can anyone help what I can try to get the apps back to work with previous data?
Thankful for any help!

At first, try flashing CM13 after a full wipe or try using another rom since CM13 could be buggy.

Thanks for the reply! But well, the phone is working, just the apps are behaving as if they are newly installed ... So a full wipe would not really help as is only deletes more data. The question is why do the apps "think" they are not already set up?

That's why we "always" backup user data before flashing a new rom

Full ACK, but data is still available on the internal storage, but the apps do not notice this?
AND this one here (not allowed ot post links... so a missing w at the beginning ww.cyanogenmod.org/blog/a-marshmallowy-cm) says dirty flash from 12.1 to 13 is okay and if the cyanogenmod updater shows cm13 as availabe for update ...
EDIT: Maybe this was a missing info, but it was "just" a normal update via cyanogenmod updater, not a real flash of a new rom!

What do you want me to say? It's always better to full wipe when upgrading to a new Android version. Period.
Moreover, CM13 nightlies are buggy. There are important bugs and fixes everyday. Make a nandroid backup and try from scratch or try another nightly or another custom rom. There's nothing else to say IMO.

Just thought it could be possibly just a permission problem, a missing symlink or anything else that could be fixed manually.

I flashed the first CM13 nighly and I didn't have to do anything to get working apps. Everything has been restored without any issue.
Hey all,
i have a Bigproblem. =(
I bought a new Honor 6x and unlocked the Bootloader. Then i installed TWRP successfully.
After that downloaded the RR 5.74 and OpenGapps and installed them, too.
NOW after restarting the Honor 6x, the phone wanst me to enter a Android PIN/Password.
I cant do anything...i have to enter a Android Pin.
Before installing i didnt enter any Passwords and i deactivated the Fingerprint.
Do you know what i should do?
I dont know what to do know =((
I tried my unlock code, my SIM Pin etc but everytime it says "Falsches Passwort" - Wrong Parrword.
Also i tried to format via Twrp but it says "Unable to format to remove encryption."
Please help me...
Try this , go to TWRP and the wipe data and click advanced , then select data , cache and dalvik cache, this might help .
NOTE : this may erase all the data of your phone including contacts pics etc
asked for password after flashing LineageOs ROM
Hi Folks,
this is my first post in this forum and I'm completely new to whole Android stuff, although I'm a well experienced Gentoo user.
I have nearly the same trouble, except the before mentioned message "Unable to format to remove encryption."
After flashing the latest ROM (lineage-13.0-20170205-UNOFFICIAL-berlin.zip) I also got asked for a password I didn't have.
I tried different ways of wiping cache, dalvik-cache, data, system, trying factory reset and also formatting /data and but nothing works for me.
Of course I can go back to my latest working Backup of Marchmallow 6.1, but I wont get rid of all that google stuff, so your help to my upgrade path to LineageOS is very much appreciated.
In the meantime I also tried to flash lineage-13.0-20170203-UNOFFICIAL-berlin.zip and later also the Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 for Honor 6X (Berlin), but after every first start of theses custom ROMs, a password request came up.
I definitely deleted my fingerprints before and at last I additionally deactivate my SIM Password.
What could be the root cause for this?
One stupid question more, please. What for is the recovery.img here needed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19229#downloads
If it means only the TWRP.img file, I'm using twrp-3.1.0-0-berlin.img which should be correct.
Also I installed supersu SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip out of twrp, cause it missed the often mentioned direct root option within advanced options. I guess it was part of earlier versions of twrp, right.
Have I overlooked some important step?
Best regards, Andy.
Honor 6X = Berlin or not?
Cause the twrp devices site has only one entry for the Honor 6X (as of today)
and the call its code name Berlin, I (or we) came to this possibly wrong conclusion, I have exact this version.
But now I guess I'm wrong, cause my device is a
BLN-L21C432B130
which is mostly called in this forum as a BLN-L21 : Europe, Netherlands, Italy Variant.
Am I right, that the linageos and the RR versions I (or we) tried to flash, are wrong versions for such devices, and the right ones doesn't exist until now?
Andreas, what's your exact Build Number? Did you the same fault as I do?
Could anyone of the more experienced member please state that.
Best, Andy.
Pin furthermore needed
Sorry Folks,
as a new member, I have not enough rights to post directly to the ROM section here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-5-7-4-berlin-t3551705/page5
A member called Pokhara solved the PIN issue, but I can't do so and asking myself what I'm doing different or wrong. I tried it several times inspiered by his and different posts, but equal if I'm flashing RR 5.74 or LineageOS, after a restart I'm asking for a PIN.
Possible you'll see what I'm doing wrong or differently, compared to your successfully installation:
At first, I'm deleting all my Fingerprints and deactivate the using of it into the Phone Settings.
I'm using latest TWRP-3.1.0-0 (berlin. image)
Using its Advanced Wipe function, wiping the following partions / directories:
Dalvik / ART Cache
Cache
Data
Internal Storage
System
(but of course not the Micro SDCard)
Question: is it right to exclude the Boot Partion, which is not listed here. I guess cause it is not checked into the settings dialog as wipeable.
I'm afraid that would brick my phone (prevents booting it) - right? (Or is this the difference to your procedure)?
Than I'm flashing RR and than the recommend GApps package too
or, on a different trial the LinageOS.zip alternatively.
Reboot, Splash screen of RR or Linage appears, asking for the PIN which I can't skip > finished
Any help is very much appreciated.
Best regards, Andy.
Password problem solved!
Good news from my side, folks.
Yesterday I've got solved my problem and I'm wondered a little why none could give me the right hint before....
After using the older version of twrp-3.0.2-0 for the first time, everything works like a charm.
For me the misleading description was, to not name the version and what this file contains (recovery.img) here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=19229#downloads
so please rename it to something like: twrp-3.0.2-0-berlin.img
This prevents other users (like me), to use a newer version, which was also recommended for this phone (cause more bugs are fixed), but this had never worked for me successful with this phone!
I presume: If you're not using a newer version of EMUI 4.1 or a BuildNo. BLN-L21C432B130, or Android 6.x.
Nevertheless, now I'm able to install LinageOS or RR 5.7.4 successfully. So I hope this conclusion could also help some others out there.
Everything works after updating to CRAP Oreo (even though it's discontinued), but my S8+ G955F gets encrypted afterwards. I can't seem to flash anything, even backup or restore. It displays internal storage as 0 MB. I know my option is either to format data or repair/change filesystem, but I've done that multiple times and it re-appears. Is there any solution to it?
Nougat seems to work just fine.
I'm rooted using Magisk v15.3 and using Xposed framework beta v90-beta3.
yeah! i have the same f***ing issue and its driving me crazy!
after i format data and rooting my phone then the minute i enter the home screen and coming back to twrp my internal storage is gone and its showing 0mb

My guess is TWRP can't actually decrypt it it, guess we'll have to wait for a new version to come out.
Not sure of the relationship, but CarHDROM 12.1 seems to either not have had that issue, or it has been resolved. It is flashed via TWRP.

In case it would be a CUSTOM ROM?

This solution did not help me
News :
Starting today, i'll just upload the firmware if it has a change in it.
So you know there's no need to update the firmware if there's no change in it, save the hassle.
Tips :
* I've added checksum file for each firmware-only files in google drive, so you guys can see what's changed on every firmware-only release.
* If you experience sim card not detected after flashing firmware, don't worry, it's normal. do this, plug out and plug in your sim card tray, and restart your device.

yep i believe the Miui10 is in Alpha and currently being tested by a closed group of users. we should see public Beta releases towards the end of June.
Im just curious if there is any difference in battery consumption to previous version of MIUI.
I've tried it a couple of days ago. There are some visual changes like new notifications panel UI, recents UI, In-call UI etc. A bit more IOS-ish as some say.
First of all, if you consider flashing it;
- You need the Raupe/Blunden twrp to flash it, other recoveries end up with error 7.
- After flashing this build; twrp will ask for a decrypt password and no password will be correct. So your internal storage won't be mounted on twrp no way to fix it at the moment.
- Magisk 16.4 is able to root it, don't know about previous ones.
- If you consider flashing other roms, you have to do factory reset(format data) to get your internal be able to mount on twrp again.
- It doesn't have google apps as it's China specific, so you need to install google apps manually by Google installer apk or there are zip files for miui 10 ported gapps which give force closes randomly.
- Can be a daily driver since all is working.
- Xposed won't work.
Other than these hick ups, it's good initial build. Fast and smooth, can't tell about battery life since I haven't used it for a long time. There are secondary releases(8.6.5) for some devices so can be around for Mix too. Cheers.

I'm willing to give this a shot, thanks for the input ??
Ok trying it now and everything seems to be working good. A little laggy at the moment so I'm just letting it set in. I was hoping the camera would've gotten updated but same old crappy camera software from previous MIUI firmware. Hopefully when they do release the final version we'll get a updated camera but all in all this is a keeper till we get updated version on here, hopefully...

Haven't tried that but I'll look into it today and report back.
---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------
Ok going through settings and as far as I can tell I don't see face unlock feature. I highly doubt the mix will get seeing as how old it is now, I never use it anyway on other devices so it's not a big deal to me. Everything is running very smooth and fast, I'm liking the Android P style look a lot, more than how it looks on the pixel but that's just me.

You just cancel it and internal storage will be unable to use on twrp. If you flash other things, you need to do it by an OTG.

Oh yes yes, I always use OTG just in case. Thanks for the info.
I installed it, but I keep loosing the recovery, when I reboot it goes to the Miui recovery.
Is there a way to disable the factory recovery overwriting the twrp.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

i think you should flash this file in twrp :
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
after that the recovery shouldn't get replaced anymore.
That's weird I don't have any issues seeing my storage in TWRP, everything works.

i think he should need to format his Data and Internal Storage.
i can't remember the detail, but i once encountered this too, and i read that something about F2FS not supported or whatsoever.

Hi guys,
Don't know if anyone can assist here. I am currently on Xiaomi official developer ROM "miui MIMIX2SGlobal_9.6.27_dfd19406a5_9.0.zip", I have been trying to flash the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMIX2S_9.7.11p_v10-9.zip" and I keep getting stuck on the MIX boot screen (that's where it says MIX in the middle of the screen and at the bottom says powered by android with the progress dots scrolling.
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anyone assist?

The bad forum section is once. Secondly, did you do the data format because xiaomi.eu does not support encryption.

Just to let you also know that a format is necessary only if you are switching from stock MIUI to a custom rom. When switching between custom roms, no need to format. Just remove your screen lock password before flashing

Problem solved with a simple format data. I am back on Xiaomi.eu now. Much prefer it, as it offers so many more features and still feels faster than the official ROMs
