Hello, i'm a bit in trouble with my internal storage.
Yesterday i wanted to update to newest havoc os so i prepared as usual and wiped system and data under advanced wipe in TWRP ( twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada(mtp) from joemossjr ).
Then things went strange... op6 reboots itself and since there was no system installed got stuck. i rebooted to TWRP and it started like first time install.
I wanted to do the TWRP Setup but TWRP freezes everytime and after some seconds the device reboots.
I tried different TWRP (joemossjr, eng.stck), tried flashing manually with fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img and even with Tool All In One from mauronofrio
but only recovery that doesn't freeze is newest official TWRP 3.2.3.0.
But now i can't get access to my internal storage. The TWRP filemanager and adb shell are showing weird folders ( see attached jpg ).
It seems something is corrupted... i also tried to flash stock op6 rom in fastboot "OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_015_all_1808102118_770880-FASTBOOT" with flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat.
Seems to work but got stuck at bootanimation...
flashed back official TWRP and i think i have to install magisk now but don't know how to do because i have no access to my internal storage.
at this point i wish they would have included a sdcard slot
suggestion anyone?
It's not corrupted, but it's encrypted, when you flashed the havoc rom you kinda ****ed up with the encryption method so now you got files that are encrypted and that you can't decryp, so your solution is to format your internal storage, sorry for you, and if anyone have another solution i would take it
do an adb sideload for magisk zip , that should help
adb sideload sadly doesn't work, just "Starting ADB Sideload feature" ...
and on cmd when i try to adb sideload i got an "error: closed"
can't figure out why the files should be encrypted... makes no sense to me
now i flashed flash-system-boot-vendor.bat
phone boots till startup wizard and then after few seconds freeze and reboot

Format data. Problem fixed. This is the ONLY SOLUTION that will work.
Yup, you need to format the data and start all clean and i hope you did a full twrp backup
yes i do always make a backup before flashing something... my problem is i don't have access to files on internal storage.
Data partition is not my problem because all my apps are stored with titanium backup but in the freaking internal memory.
i wiped data partition but it doesnt help... now i have all folders like after complete reset. but i dont know how to get access to my old files in /sdcard folder.
i think of deleting internal storage also and start from scratch and try some data recovery tools... maybe i have some luck.
use Tool all in one

Did you ever actually try to flash the Havoc update? What's going on is that you flashed a rom on the August security patch and OOS is still on July. You can't roll back to an earlier patch. Only a rom on the current patch will work.
If it doesn't work, as several have said, you have to format data, not just wipe. That will unfortunately, erase everything on your phone, but there's no other way to go back to OOS.
ok iElvis... things start getting interesting
hmm i want to try that but how should i be able to do that...
how does it work flashing the havoc with all in one tool or could it be done in fastboot mode per cmd?
the phone came with oos 5.1.5 and used that a while then with xXx NoLimits 2.4 over it for a few weeks.
after that havoc os from 6.8.18 for a month or so and i want that as daily driver.
then yesterday updated with fresh install to version from 28.8.18 and setup everything then after reboot wifi was complete dead and SIM also.
flashed newest smurf kernel over and all worked again till next reboot.
i decided to install again from scratch and thats the point where things getting weird...

Yep, that's the security patch issue. Once you're on a patch, going back to an earlier one will break encryption. I don't believe there's any other option beyond formatting data.

This was happens every day after when i try to mod my device.
When i see weired Folder. I boot to fastboot then flash fastboot twrp. Img.(this will shows all folders with normal names)
Then flash liquid remix rom(its my saviour)
Then flash twrp.Installer.
Then reboot to Recovery and restore my liquid rom backup and boom its boot to everything normal.
Here i want to say that keep one liquidremix rom in otg pendrive.
After fastboot twrp command when u gets working twrp.
Install that rom via otg, and flash twrp installer and then reboot back to twrp and then clean flash rom u want it will work without doing formatting or fastboot flashing stock rom which erase everything everytime
@ whizeguy... did that as mentioned before and gave me the freeze after first time reboot
@ pankspoo... ok i cant understand what is causing this issue but if you say that did the trick for you than i will buy me a otg adapter and check that out.
silly that i already deleted everything and sadly with no affort...
but i dont understand why im not able to boot anymore even after deleting everything

Fastboot method of installing rom will work 100%, have u used flash all. Bat (just unzip ur downloaded fastboot rom, connect phone to comp in fastboot mode and click on flash all bat file) command while installation.
Use that command because u have soft bricked u r device.
That installation will boot to normal oos rom.
I think u r doing something wrong.
Hmm thats exactly what i did.
In cmd there are some errors like sparse blabla but finally it completes but with freeze and reboots during startup assistent.
I bought an otg adapter today. Flashed liquid remix and that worked! All seems fine no freezes and reboots but wifi and signal still broken...
Very confusing

U have u r efs backup? If have then restore it via twrp.
That will give u ur signal and wifi
That is what im thinking of...in fastboot there are no infos at bootloader and baseband Version. unfortunately my efs Backup is gone since internal storage messed up.
If i could recover some data that could help but 2 tools i tried yet didnt work.
Tomorrow ill try making raw dump and see If this would help.. still looking for the best guide or method
Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.

I have the same problem that stated after installing the update for derpfest and I can boot into twrp. Any solution for me?
My dad got the OTA update to 10.3.0 on xmas day and installed it. However the phone is now stuck on boot logo. He has a locked phone just as it came out of the box (ie no TWRP, no OEM unlock, no root).
I am quite experienced with installing custom ROMs but with locked phones I am lost. Is there anyway to recover the device without deleting data / factory reset? This is because my dad has quite a lot of pics on the device that are not backed up (yeah I know...).
Things I've tried so far:
- reboot holding power button + volume up
- boot flash twrp from fastboot - no permission due to phone being locked
- in stock recovery I do not get access to device via cable
- installed Tool all in One - it sees phone via fastboot
I always use the Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6 myself to recover from soft bricks but this wipes data so no option here. Unless there is a way to install parts of ROM? Any other tips or ideas from the awesome XDA community? :good:
Btw this is the update he installed:
Screenshot of update that was installed
If you boot on twrp, it does not ask for the pin code to access the data?
Maybe try the last twrp for OOS 10.3.0 : ( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261678088 )
Use command : fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-16-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img
Try flash a new boot img :
Stock boot 10.3 img
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1w44cUg815g-H1h_6gObUVPLDTc_dtiMX
The phone is not unlocked and therefore has no TWRP recovery. This is my problem, if it was unlocked I would have figured out a way to fix it.
PS it does ask for pincode when accessing stock recovery
I'm not sure if this works on locked bootloaders but try switching boot slots using fastboot.
Couple of weird things:
-you don't need an unlocked bootloader for fastboot to boot back into the system
-the dual partition was designed precisely to prevent things like this from happening. When an update fails, you are supposed to roll back to the old slot you were on previously.
Anyway, since you are able to boot to fastboot, can you try to get to stock recovery again from fastboot and see if you can boot up to system from there?
Hey
You can try to change the boot slot using fastboot mode
It can help uh maybe
Its worth to try

When I try to set it to slot A (it's B now) it says device does not support slots which is weird as 'fastboot getvar current-slot' does show it using slot B right now.
When I try to set it to B (ie current slot) it says: FAILED (remote: 'Slot Change is not allowed in Lock State').

When I reboot to stock recovery it gives two options:
- Wipe Data and Cache
- Advanced
There are two reboot options under Advanced:
1. Reboot to fastboot
2. Reboot to recovery
2nd option just boots it back to this same recovery. Boot to fastboot works as well. So there is no option to reboot the device.
Perhaps I can try to flash the stock ROM (kinda of dirty flash) but again not sure if that works on locked phone.

This doesn't work unfortunately on a locked device.
I found the fix and it was very simple: in Recovery under Wipe Data and Cache it has the option to delete 1. System Settings 2. Cache 3. Wipe all (incl Data).
I choose option 1 (System Settings) and after that it booted and I had to set up phone again as with a new install but all data on sd card had remained. I did lose all apps but that is a very minor thing.
Thanks for everyone who thought along with me. We got there in the end

I am facing similar problem with my OP5. When I boot in recovery, it asks for pattern to unlock. But does not accept any pattern. In the absence of pin, it gives option to Wipe Data. Will I get similar options like you did ? I am hoping to save my data.
Hello everyone,
First of all, rom and recovery are not from me... I just want to make a full guide to help you
So let's go !!!!!
1 step: unlock bootloader
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
BE CAREFUL unlocking your bootloader will erase all your data (internal storage) so don't forget to make a backup
2 step: flash twrp recovery
Download the recovery image from here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-1CSfT4lQwFZngu6RI9eowLA9CmEMEPw/view?usp=drivesdk
Be sure to have adb and fastboot tools on your computer ... If not take a look at here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Past TWRP_umi.img on minimal adb and fastboot directory.
Open a cmd here.
Enable usb debugging on your device
Reboot your phone on bootloader (hold volume down + power), connect it to PC and tape:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_umi.img
Then tape fastboot reboot while holding volume up button on your devices to reboot in recovery
3 step:
At the first launch of Twrp You have to choose SWIPE TO ALLOW MODIFICATION
4 step:
THIS ONE OF THE MUST IMPORTANT STEP
In twrp menu you have to go in Wipe data on choose format data
Otherwise the ROM will not boot.
5 step:
Reboot into recovery from twrp.
6 step:
Connect your phone to your PC and paste the xiaomi.eu ROM of your choice (stable or Dev)
7 step:
Flash ROM from recovery
8 step:
REBOOT AND ENJOY :good::good::good:
Does Xiaomi EU Rom run either on encrypted and unencrypted storage?
I cant get this to work, ive been trying everything for hours. I am sure i am missing something stupid but if anyone has any new ideas please let me know. I unlocked my device today, flashed twrp via fastboot, rebooted to recovery, formatted data then went on to install xiaomi eu rom. Ever since trying this, i am constantly booting into recovery or hitting a boot loop. i have formatted data more times than i care to think of ha ha. ive tried flashing the latest fastboot rom via mi unlock tool to do a fresh start but keep getting ''flash crclist error". Ive also tried flashing miui stock via twrp and it also, doesn't boot. ive tried many combinations in between. My next option is to try the fastboot global rom (though i believe i have a chinese device), i am waiting for it to download. If anyone knows what i am doing wrong i will be eternally grateful if you can tell me what it is. I'm so frustrated, been flashing roms for years, never had anything take as long as this :crying:

I have followed the tutorials to perfection like 2-3 times and I still face the same issue
I always go back to TWRP after trying to boot into system.
I have tried 2 different recovery files
The experimental one asks for a password. and the other one works but keeps going back to recovery after flashing.
MIUI 11 rom
MIUI 12 rom
No matter what I do It keeps going back to recovery.
It's my only device so I truly need help.
I have tried re installing everything already.
At this point I just want to install stock rom and keep using it without flashing anything please help.
PHONE FINALLY REBOOTING INTO SYSTEM. I myself don't know what i did!!!
Bootloop (stuck on 5G logo) after flashing Xiaomi.eu ROM
Dear fellow XDA-dev community members,
Xiaomi Mi 10 (umi), coming from original stock ROM, MIUI 11 GLOBAL version V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM.
Bootloader unlocked official way via MiFlash Unlock 4.5.514.47.
Custom recovery TWRP 3.4.1b-0313 installed via XiaoMiTool V2.
Tested root by installing Magisk 20.3 via TWRP, no problem, then updating to Magisk 20.4 with the Magisk Manager 7.5.1.
The problems started when I tried to install Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM : xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10_V11.0.25.0.QJBCNXM_v11-10
Downloaded the Xiaomi.eu ROM to PC, then copied to the Download folder of the Phone.
Started phone in upload mode or TWRP. > Wipe > Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data.
When formatting data I erase all folders in the phone, including the Xiaomi.eu ROM copied in the Download folder.
Some tutorials suggest to copy the Xiaomi.eu ROM from PC to phone after formatting the data, just by connecting the phone in TWRP to the PC, by going to > Mount and enabling MTP.
Tried this method but when I send the Xiaomi.eu ROM file to the phone the progress bas doesn’t move.
So I restarted the phone, without installing the Custom ROM, went through all the screens of initial phone configuration. Lost Magisk and root (but I supposed that it’s not mandatory to install Custom ROM). Copied again the Xiaomi.eu ROM zip file to the Download folder. Rebooted to TWRP. This time I just did Factory Reset but without Format Data. Then > Install to install the Xiaomi.eu new ROM. Cleared Dalvik Cache then reboot.
PROBLEM : bootloop. Stuck with the 5G logo forever, waited more than 30 min, no change.
Still have access to recovery TWRP and to bootloader mode. I suppose this is a soft brick?
I did > Wipe, Swipe to Factory Reset + Format Data, restarted… no change.
Copied this time the Xiaomi.eu ROM to a clean formatted (FAT32) USB drive. As shown in some tutorials, you can us an external USB drive via USB OTG to install the Custom ROM via TWRP.
Factory Reset + Format Data, then I installed again the same Xiaomi.eu ROM from the external USB. Still stuck in bootloop.
Please I need help to fix the problem
I’m not an expert developer, but I’m not a complete noob either.
This is the first time I have troubles with a brand new Xiaomi Phone.
It’s the first time I get a very expensive phone, but had no choice (they are getting very expensive), because I always buy a Flagship Xiaomi to get all the community support possible.
And I had to change the ROM to Xiaomi.eu, because the Official Global ROM is full of bloatware I had a good experience with Xiaomi.eu ROMs with my old Xiaomi Mi 4 and Mi 5.
At this point I don’t mind going back to stock MIUI Global ROM.
I suppose that with access to boot loader I can flash the Official ROM from PC with MiFlash2020-3-14-0? If it’s the case can somebody show me detailed steps to do that?
For Mi 10 Official Global there is the Stable Full ROM (miui_UMIGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_4f986c08cb_10.0 ) (2.45 GB) and Stable ROM (umi_global_images_V11.0.2.0.QJBMIXM_20200328.0000.00_10.0_global_09b168ff9e) (3.76 GB). Which One to flash from PC with MiFlash?
I can’t afford to hard brick the device
Thank you very much.

Hello,
i have a silly question about step 4:
someone says we should "Wipe Data", someone says we should "Format Data" ,
i don't see a real difference unless we want to change the filesystem type.
Advices ?
And also, when we format ( or wipe ) the "Data" partition, are we formatting the 256 GB partition ?
if yes, this is a really huge drawback for us who want to change ROM more frequently than other android users, because we have to backup a 256 GB partition ...
This is not fast to do online ( at least with my poor connection ) and it is not fast to do on PC or on a USB KEY.
So we have 256 GB and we need to format at each ROM change ? Too bad ...
In the good old times i did extract my microSD card and i was safe .
Someone could explain me please ?
thank you all for your patience...

Hello,
You have to format data the first time you flash xiaomi.eu rom because their rom is base on Chinese firmware (if you don't or just wipe it will not boot)
Each time you will flash a rom with different base (from Chinese base to global base or global to Chinese) you will have to format data !!
You format data to remove encryption.

Hello,
I tried to flash the latest miui 12. I followed all the steps...
But now I can't acess recovery nor rom.
Basically when i try to flash TWRP with bootloader it just goes back to fastboot.
Also note that the flash is successful. But I somehow can't acess TWRP, just goes back to fastboot
And when I flash the experimental TWRP on the dev thread it boots to recovery but asks for a password.. Impossible to flash anything.. Even after I formated data and everything
I tried flashing other TWRP I found but nothing boots even after trying a lot of time.
I tried <fastboot boot recovery.img> as well
I tried <fastboot erase recovery> and then flash the TWRP as well
I've been trying hard for the last 8 hours.
I also have a backup of when I had MIUI 12. But impossible to flash it with the only recovery I can boot to.
I feel so desperate. I'm out of ideas.
If you have any ideas, I'm listening
Thanks for the help guys.

an what is the latest miui12 u try to flash
I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help
does that work?:
Boot into twrp, then
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt myPassword
(myPassword is your user password)

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.
the correct and recommend way to install TWRP is
Flash TWRP
Erase userdata partition <~ it's important to do this as soon as possible since booting your device would just encrypt everything again
Format userdata partition
by doing this you would be able to access data partition files and folder would not be random letters.

Sorry for the late reply. Earlier i just gave up on installing the custom ROM and continued with my stock from. Today a tried again, installed TWRP and turns out it is not showing random letters now. its all regular storage. i didn't even do anything to decrypt it lol it just fixed itself. Now I will install the room myself. Thank you for your help though
Ah sh** here we go again. So i installed the custom rom successfully and everything worked fine, the TWRP too. but when I tried to flash a magisk patched image (the image that I used to root my phone in MIUI) then it got stuck in the boot screen. I had to flash the stock fastboot rom again.. And as expected from my piece of **** that xiaomi calls a phone, TWRP will show encrypted folders, and does not ask for a password. Same problem. Rooted my phone again, using the magisk root image, and it worked like usual, the phone rooted. Now i am stuck again in this bs. I guess I will wait for about 4-5 days and continue using the phone like normal. Maybe it will work again this time. I will try your method here first

Okay i tried wiping the data, cache and dalvik but it shows a huge essay of "error opening xxx/xxxx" in red text. Data wipe failed.
See you after like 4-5 days... hopefully
Update. I finally found a solution. It took literal hours of experimenting to find this.
-Flashed the fastboot ROM of the phone
-Rooted the phone by flashing magisk patched image
-Flashed Inception kernel via FK kernel manager
-Rebooting after flashing the kernel, It will get stuck in a black screen with no text whatsoever (probably a bootloop)
-Installed TWRP (This time TWRP does not show encrypted letters), Wiped all data, Transferred the custom ROM zip to the phone (while in TWRP) and flashing the rom
-The rom is flashed successfully. On the first reboot you get greeted with another bootloop. Fortunately the phone booted into TWRP. This time the folders are encrypted again.
-Successfully wiped the data (advanced>wipe data). No errors in data wiping this time.
-A fully working Corvus OS setup appears on rebooting.
I think the whole TWRP problem was fixed by the custom kernel. Anyways I am finally done with this now. You probably enjoyed seeing all this xD

I like that you keep trying and finding a solution, even though you had to invest hours to make it work!
Let's hope it will work if you update the OS though – I'd actually suggest a backup of all of your data before you do an update in the future, just to be safe!

tell me how to turn off a smartphone with a non-working sensor?
you can still use adb push command from pc to transfer files to your phone :
adb push "nameoffile" /sdcard
(place the file in your adb folder) I was able to root a phone that had this issue using this technique.
I think u should flash dm verity becoz when i flashed the rom and flashed dm verity it worked fine
