Format data , go twrp , wipe , Look down right, there is a description of the data format, select it and slide it to the right. Done

Are u able to format through twrp?

flash other twrp version, it happened the same to me

I sufferd from this strange things two days ago ....just boot into recovery and mount ur data ..if u r unable to do this then do boot again into recovery (2-3 times) ...well if u r able to mount ur data partition then u r good to go ur format data (type yes) and remove ur encryption....

Install the attached zip via TWRP. It is a fix for Nougat - but it might work for Oreo as well. If it doesn't work, then your only solution is to wipe /data (from TWRP).

Hmmmm Okay I will try all the methods .! Thanks to all guys for soon reply.!

I flashed this zip but phone is encrypted and whenever I try to start phone it asks me for password, I entwe it correctly.and always it gives me this **** :- WRONG PASSWORD/PIN.! So now I flashed a MIUI9 firmware which helped me to decrypt the phone.!

After formating u have to clean flash a rom ..btw for me i first backed up my rom then restored format(internal too) thus i don't need to flash a rom and i removed encryption too

Please tell exact all steps u did bro help me to understand better ...cz the methods can't be wrong

In oreo, don't configure a fingerprint! If you get a password in lockscreen, you encrypt automatically your phone!

What he suggested will delete the lockscreen password/passcode etc so you can boot the phone without any prompts. You do this within TWRP.

oh in that case, should I have to factory reset everytime I flash a rom through my TWRP? I use ZCX TWRP, so Lazy flasher is not required after rom flashing right?
you just need it once . to decrypt your storage

In the information about the ZCX TWRP I found below:
ZCX TWRP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...persu-t3462448
- Based on official TWRP 3.0.2-0
- Patches boot.img automatically (Removes dm-verity flag)
- Disables forced encryption
Should I have to tweak anything in TWRP settings to remove this dm-verify flag everytime?

I tried it. Earlier i did not have any issue even if i install custom rom on my Redmi note 3. But today i thought of trying Pure Nexus *Substratum* rom. And on the first boot it asked me to enter password. though i have never kept password for my mobile, i tried all the passwords that i remember, which didnt solve my issue. then saw ur reply and tried it, and still it didnt work for me. Any other way?:crying:

Are you coming from MIUI? If so then MIUI encrypts the data partition, hence the new ROM asking for a password.
Before you install the ROM, you must "format data" on wipe in TWRP, this is different from wipe data.
Note that this will delete all your data obviously.

Are you sure that you used "format data"?
Wipe data doesn't remove the encryption.

Perfect. Worked bro. Thanks a lot for the help. I was wiping cache,and internal storage. Now only came to know this. :highfive:

Is my /data encrypted?

I am on miui 8.1.4.0 rooted rn3p. So my question is can i use dual boot patcher and dual boot lineage os 14.1
Anyone ??
OK. I'll try to help. Boot into TWRP and press the button on the bottom left (four lines). This will open TWRP log. If you see something like "attempting to decrypt with default password" it means your data is encrypted. An alternative solution is to flash TWRP by dadi11 and see if it asks you for password.
How to decrypt? You must format data in TWRP. This will wipe your /data and the entire internal storage so make sure you make a backup on your SD card or PC. Then boot into TWRP, select Wipe menu and press Format data. After this, immediately flash either SuperSU or Magisk or Lazy flasher (which ever one of the three you like) and only then reboot. Once the system boots, go back into TWRP and check your log again.

Umm... not sure what you're talking about. Maybe DT2W? I tried out Radon, but I haven't tried that feature. I think you just need to reflash Radon and choose default options. If that doesn't work for you, just reflash MIUI, it will get rid of Radon.

Ok so here is what i got in the results of this experiment :
I was able to patch minz1 lineage os and gapps pico 7.0 and then booted to zcx and flashed both files i removed the fingerprint and any kind security measures on miui and i flashed both files and it was successful!!!
But now i am not able to boot to either miui or lineage os!!!
Conclusion: DO NOT TRY THIS!!!

Weird... It seems to me that you are still encrypted. Have you tried flashing DualBootUtilities and switching to MIUI that way? It is possible that you messed up your primary ROM boot image, I think that happened to me once. Whatever the case, reflashing MIUI should allow you to boot into MIUI.

I didn't see this post until now. Well, of course you can't use DBP when you're encrypted. If you want to try DPB, you have to format data.

Flashing back miui kicked me out of the situation and btw i backed up the boot.img as well as tried switching roms none worked and also it was glitching zcx a bit.
Its quite irritating seeing xiaomi and miui enforcing so many security measures a bad day for people who like to customize things a lot!

OK. Good to know that at least you have a working system now. I only experienced issues with booting MIUI after I flashed a custom kernel on MIUI and forgot to update the kernel in DBP app, but like we established flashing MIUI solves the problem.
But again, there's no use in experimenting with DBP until you format data. So please report back when you get around to doing that.
As for Xiaomi policies, I don't know the details, but I don't think it's their fault. It seems that Google can be very strict when certifying devices and allowing the OEMs to include Gapps. Google forces OEMs to ship phones with locked bootloaders and forced encryption.

The order of steps is very important.
1st step: Boot to recovery.
2nd step: Format data (not wipe and I don't know what you mean by erase).
3rd step: Flash ROM (Epic ROM should be good, but it also works for Global Stable and others).
4th step: Flash SuperSU.
5th step: Reboot system.

TWRP requires password

Hi everyone,
I have this problem that TWRP asks me for a password every time, I tried entering my password but it didn't work, if I press cancel I get in the menu but TWRP can't see internal storage only SD card.
Does someone know a fix for this problem?
I've tried some stock passwords also I tried reflashing TWRP but neither worked for me.

This is a main problem right now on TWRP... You have to actually wipe all data for making TWRP work! there is not another way of doing it.

Yes, I assume that is the only way for now when installing custom ROM (Lineage OS 14.1) TWRP no longer asks for passwords on start-up even after restoring MIUI 9.6 via TWRP, it still doesn't want pass
I reset my device via wipe option in twrp home screen but , the problem still persists. Provide some other method to overcome this problem.

Make a backup via TWRP and save it on USB OTG or SD card.
From the WIPE menu select ADVANCED
Select everything (except for USB OTG and MicroSD, that is where your backup is) and then Swipe to Wipe. Restore the backup you made.
That did it for me, I didn't clean flash official ROM because I've read that it bricks the device if you do it via TWRP (I am not sure if that is true or not, if someone has information, please share.)
Important: I am not some expert in flashing modifying unlocking and etc. This is just my personal experience, if you decide to try this and somehow you brick or/and damage your devices, I am not responsible in any way, if you are not sure what you are doing, better just don't do anything.
Good Luck!

All TWRP for Rosy (Miui 10, global/ EU) now has problem with password for encryption. However I just select SD, point to the downloaded ROM and flash, and it works! Update new rom and do not lose anything. I think it only hide the OS. I only swipe the data when OS crash

Make sure u came from latest miui rom 9 or 10.
Reason why its not booting is coz ur data and internal sd is encrypted . coz u came from miui. Miui encrypts data and internal sd by default. So custom roms cant boot it.
U need to format data in twrp.
Go to twrp
press format data.
Type YES to format
Format command will decrypt and erase ur data and internal sd.
So before that take backup of internal sd.
So first format data( must do)
Then wipe data reset
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot

I did that. I also thought the same thing. Thats why i formatted data from twrp. And thats how i lost my backup. Bit it still isnt going past the boot logo for any roms.

When u take twrp backup u should choose external sd card.

Thanks very much mate.... But I didnt see ur reply and flashed global stable MIUI 10 rom on my device through mi flash. And guess what the device is working perfectly fine. So in that sense u were right. I think it would have been cause of outdated bootloader. But the sad thing is my bootloader got locked again.
Now have to wait 72 hours more for unlocking....

Even if u get locked again, u don't need to wait to get permission again. Just login to mi unlock app with the id u got permission in thw 1st place. Then just unlock the phone.

I'm facing the same issue, where no custom ROM will boot, but I came form latest global stable miui 10.1 and also flashed the latest firmware you linked just in case and still I can't boot with any custom ROM installed. I have officially unlocked my bootloader and I'm using latest twrp. I followed your instructions but I still have this problem.

No, I
flash firmware
format data
advanced wipe --> wipe data, system, cust, dalvik / art cache, internal storage
flash rom
flash gapps
reboot
and get infinite boot logo animation.
If you use redwolf or orangefox recovery, no need lazy flasher. Orange fox contain magisk install menu.
