Deleted Internal Storage Accidently (HELP!) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Right, so i accidentally deleted my internal storage while updating to a new custom rom (format and install). I do not have any backups, unfortunately either. My phone is rooted and had bootloader unlocked prior to this issue.
What can i do to fix this?
-- Edit, i should have explained in more detail - This issue has made is so that i cant Read or Write to internal storage from MIUI file explorer. Unfortunately, reinstall stock os zip does not seem to have helped...

Download fastboot rom and flash it via PC
Or via TWRP copy *.zip with OS and flash

Thanks mate :laugh:. Since i have TWRP already, will this do? http://en.miui.com/download-309.html
Should i download china or global?

You will not be able to recover your deleted data. End of story.

Yeah what's the problem? As you are in TWRP you can connect the phone to computer via USB. Transfer firmware, ROM and gapps and flash.
Data on internal will be gone. No possibility to recover. That's why there are warnings all over the place while wipe and format data ?

Global. Stable

Issue has been resolved. Mods please close this thread.

You have to fix your brick Xiaomi first before you can try to recover your data because the recovery tool cannot scan a bricked phone. Suggest you flash a stock ROM download from MIUI official website.
After you can reboot into the normal Android system, see this page to recover your deleted data from Xiaomi Redmi Note4.

Partition "Firmware" failed to restore

As everyone already knew, MIUI 8 is not only available for China Developer ROM, it's not yet available for Global. I was on Global MIUI 7 Developer, I was very curious about MIUI 8. So, I tried to flash it through TWRP. Before I flash, I backed up all partitions on TWRP.
Fast forward 20 minutes, MIUI 8 flashed properly, but I want to go back to my original Global Developer MIUI 7. So, I tried to restore every partition through TWRP with the backup I did. Every partition restored successfully, except "Firmware". It gives error "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"
In recovery log, it shows that "tar_extract_file(): failed to restore SELinux context ubject_r:vfat:s0 to file" for a lot of files.
It booted up normally, but it failed to detect my SIM card. Wifi working, just no SIM. Baseband version unknown, can't enter Phone Status, SIM cards & mobile networks greyed out. Phone tells that Can't get valid Device ID (Invalid Device ID: null)
Anyone did experienced this? Any solution?
Use twrp to restore again , this time exclude the firmware partition (restore all other partition except firmware). After the restoration complete , use MiFlashTool to flash back the Miui 7 stable

Bricked RN3 PRO - Locked bootloader and fastboot working fine

I know there are several threads about unbricking RN3 but I didn't find any article that could solve this problem, not even in other forums.
This started when apps were continuously force closing for no reason and I decided to flash a new official ROM (going on MIUI settings) but the problem persisted. So I did that via MI Flash and I had the same result.
As this force closing situation were being more and more frequent I flashed several times different official MIUI ROMS from EDL mode (developer and stable) and then, after one of this times, it just don't start the system anymore, its just keep bootlooping again and again.
I also tried another methods, like flashing updated fastboot ROMS but didn't work out.
Another thing, I've flashed TWRP once but it asked for a password so I couldn't access the files and flash a custom rom and my phone is locked (that xiaomi lock situation). But after that I've restored the original recovery (that appears an image of a unplugged/plugged phone to use with pc suite but it doen't recognize my device).
So, I don't really know what to do anymore.
I didn't even use this phone for a complete year and xiaomi lacks of support in my country and they wont help me, like they replied my by email.
Anyone could help me with this issue?
Thank you, by the way!

I've tried to install TWRP but it needs a password to decript data. So it appears 0mb on everything and shows an error to format, wipe or do anything.
Remember, my device is still locked by miui.

[urgent] encrypted my kenzo's internal storage

Okay ,so i was on miui9 and decided to flash miui10. I flashed it and restarted the phone, the boot up was talking too Long so I thought maybe the flash was not successful. And I rebooted into TWRP. But unfortunately it encrypted it. I got around it using default_password . But flash and wipes were not successful anymore. I couldn't Access internal storage too. I tried restarting and this time it said " encryption was interrupted, you can no longer access your data, format your phone to unlock... Etc"
Please tell me how i can backup or decrypt my phone's storage. Twrp , fastboot are still accessible. Please help I can't format the phone.

I can't do that. I tried that but didn't work.
Also I was thinking maybe fastboot flash can fix ,but instead it looked the BL and removed TWRP and didn't even solve the problem.
I tried using mi unlocker to unlock but it Said "this account can't unlock this device"

Forgot to mention: connect to pc while you are in recovery (trwp if possible). If you don't have this installed, search here in rn3 forum, for zcx twrp and flash this from fastboot mode.

I'm in a desperate state here....unlocked bootloader andtried to flash Pixel ROM....followed all the steps on https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/how-to-transform-pocophone-f1-to-pixel-t3910187 except I used the latest version of bellyllium - v10 ( not thinking it would be the wrong one.)
Consequently I am stuck in a bootloop because I have no OS on the phone and can't use MiFlash to flash stock as it keeps telling me to download and install the drivers (which I have).
My phone can do fastboot but I can't adb to it (it isn't listed as a device) so can't push the firmware - any help much appeciated. (btw I'm not new.)

Hi Bro, You should put your phone into Fastboot Mode and install twrp through ADB again.
=> Copy Vendor/Rom/gapps/magisk/DFE into your storage.
Wipe advance -> stick: wipe data, cache, davik, systerm (only 4wipe, no more)
Choose Install -> Flash Vendor -> Flash Rom (if you wanna use Pixel rom, don't flash gapps) -> Flash magisk 18.1 -> Flash DFE 18.1 -> Reboot
Sorry if i use english not well.

Hi.
Do it like this, install TWRP and then the operating system of your choice. There is also the question of how you could install the ROM without TWRP.
Hardbrick with TWRP, never, I don't think so.
I have now easily shot my device 20 times and put it on again and again, definitely shot 100 devices over 10,000 times over the years and never suffered a hard brick.
You can do it, otherwise the heroes will help you here. :highfive:

Hi,
this happens because your system partition is "broken".
If you go to "Wipe" and select "Format Data" there it will delete all partitions and the system of your device.
Then you start again in the TWRP and connect the device via USB to a PC or via OTG to a stick on which you have the operating system of your choice and drag it to your device.
Then select the ZIP / OS in the TWRP under "Install" and have it installed. It also creates the new partitions that he could not find with you.
I wish you success:fingers-crossed:

Don't think format data wipes the system partition does it?
Unless Xiaomi have really changed things, data should be completely separate. Format data should wipe the internal storage only which includes cache partition.
Twrp can wipe system, but shouldn't do unless specifically chosen to do so via several steps, not a single button press.

no data format dont touch system
Yes, of course not the whole system partition, sorry.
From German into English is sometimes not that easy.?
In this case, TWRP will of course only delete the data as it stands there.
Otherwise everyone will find a step by step guide for almost every device a thousand times, thanks to you. So it should be also possible for everyone here.
Best regards and thank you two.:highfive:

I also want to go back to stable ROM
Its very simple to bypass the Anti rollback on miflash, just download the fastboot version of the ROM you want to install, unzip it and you'll have to edit this file (flash_all.bat), with for instance note++. And you remove 5 or 6 lines that does not begin by FASTBOOT. You can't miss it.
You can close and save.
Afterwards, just flash that same file that you just edited, and no more anti rollback error!
A second tip that I have when you just can't install custom firmwares on the mi 10, just flash stock firmware with miflash, reboot and flash TWRP. Transfer your custom firmware to your phone, flash it and ONLY format data afterwards! It was the only way to get a custom firmware on my mi10. It's my 5th xiaomi device and never experienced something like this...tried all TWRP available for the mi 10, but only by doing this way, I was able to succesfully install xiaomi.eu.
Good luck!
