I'm not sure if my Z5 is encrypted anymore?

Hi,
I always used to have full device encryption on my Z5 turned on, but after update to Nougat I'm honestly not sure if it's enabled anymore.
You see, with Android 6.0 the device would always ask me for the encryption pin when turning on, so before Android starts booting up - presumably to decrypt the system partition.
But after upgrading to Nougat it doesn't do that anymore - it just boots right into the system, where obviously it asks me for my pin to unlock the screen, but that lack of the pin input screen on boot is worrying to me.
In the settings, it still says that encryption is enabled.
Does anyone know if if this is expected?

Disable and enable again, thats the reason to always wipe between updates.

Hi, thanks for replying - I don't think I can disable encryption, clicking on the "encrypt device" doesn't do anything. I guess I need to do full wipe, restore from backup, then encrypt again?

Yes, that would be best.

I had the same issue, the problem was I was using an app that isn't by sony or google and was enabled as a device administrator. Uninstalling it solved the problem

OEM unlocking
How? How are you expecting me to turn on OEM unlocking when there is no option for doing that in devloper option. I tried rsetting my device as it was new. without any update nothing but still i couldn't found OEM unlocking option in devloper option. then i used there OTA Update and even then i wasn't unable to locate OEM unlocking. without that this post doesn't work. I use lava a3 (not mini) still didn't work . Tired googling , Some forams but didn't worked . Help :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Hardbricked - System destroyed!

Hello!
I was disappointed about some missing features in MIUI ( unable to unlock by bluetooth by not Xiaomi devices, no reliable notification LED,.. ) so I decided to flash Android P ( I know, it´s beta, but it´s AOSP ) by using the Xiaomi Flash Tool. I left the button at 'clean and lock', because I don´t wanted to go back in the near future - and this was a big mistake! The tool shown after flashing 'successful', but since then the Mix2s shows 'system destroyed - push power button to switch off' on booting. I get access by fastboot, but the bootloader is now locked....
I´ve tried to get access by deepflash, but the problem is, that if I connect it to USB the phone switches on and shows the mentined message - again and again. I´m not able to switch it off, to get the connection by qualcomm drivers to USB. I tried to push and hold the power button very long, push all buttons together and so on...
Has anyone an advice or can tell me about testpoints of the Mix2s ( if it has? )

Thanks!

In this thread, some users speak about test points. There is a photo of it

Edit: Method for Mi Mix 2, maybe this can help you...

You should send it to customer servt

You can try to contact xiaomi support, they can grant you access to unlock the bootloader without adding an account... However, there were only one or two guys in miui forum who were successful with that, for all the others xiaomi said they can't allow it

What happens when you try to unlock your bootloader? And why cant you unlock it again?

Enter Fastboot and unlock your bootloader again by using xiaomi mi bootloader unlocking tool.

same problem when i've flashed the beta, i had to unlock the bootloader again and the phone boots

Unlock tool

Hi, i am trying to put a ROM on my Mi Note 10.
To do this I need to have TWRP.
To do this I have to unlock.
Meanwhile, it's frustrating because I can't find an "how to guide from the beginning" that is exhaustive and has no errors (the last thing I read "download the zip, unzip it and double click on the exe", the exe is not there it's in the zip !) .
So.. Now I do the following points:
1. Mi Account on my phone
1. Enable Developer Settings
1a. Enable USB Debugging
1b. Enable OEM Unlock
1c. Add device in Mi Unlock status in Developer Settings.
2. Unpack MIUI Unlock ( I think correct versione) and log into it
3. Shut down my phone
4. Reboot to Fastboot mode
5. Connect my phone to my PC
6. Launch MIUI UnLock and appear empty grid and... the unlock tool does not work!
I have no error, no message... if I click on REFRESH, or UNLOCK... nothing, really nothing!
Have you got any idea?
Thanks!
PS: sorry for my bad english

Really I don't know... Have you got a link so I could verify? Thx

U can install the driver over mi flash tool and then look in the device manager that windows use the right driver. When the name not match, install the right over manual install.

Latest update messed up my phone(MIUI 13.0.2 Global)

Hi! As the title says, my phone is unable to connect to WIFI, I keep on toggling on the wifi icon but it stay disconnected. USB connection seems to take a hit as well as my PC is not recognizing it as well even USB debugging is enabled, I had tried to factory reset the phone to no avail..
Are there anyways I can downgrade to a more stable OS or install a custom one?
Thanks so much!

Thanks, I have just enabled it thru OEM unlocking option in the developer menu and logged-in at my MI account as well.
Though, USB debugging is enabled, my PC here is unable to detect the phone.
