TWRP requires password - Xiaomi Redmi 5 Questions & Answers

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!

TWRP 3.1.1.0
Nothing solved the problem but twrp 3.1.1.0 .

I am now having this proble where do I get twrp 3.1.1.0 the official site lists only 3? this password problem has annoyed me for hours now

Didnt worked for me.. i get the error "FAILED (remote: dtb not found)"

Flash miui with fastboot mode with pc than you see stock recovery come

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

Use the steps in this thread

System not responding

[Noob question]
I have a 2 year old Samsung GT-S5282 i just rooted a month ago, by installing CWM 6.0.3.7 and flashing SuperSU 2.07 in it.
I've installed a few root apps that "boosts" the phone's performance.
But a month later i tried rebooting the phone, it passes the boot logo, then it comes across a dialog saying "process system is not responding, do you want to close it?"
I pressed "wait", but then the system crashes and the screen turns off. I tried consecutive battery pulls, wiping cache partition, but no luck, it still crashes on the dialogue screen.
I reckon it's on the kernel, but i'm STILL not sure what is going on.
Can anybody suggest a fix? I really need this phone and i don't want to lose any data.
(I've backed up my personal files, i meant i don't want to lose any internal data that cannot be backed up)
Please.

I guess you are able to reach recovery mode. If yes, then u should connect it with computer. Try installing a custom rom (i would suggest CM11).

Um thank you so much for the suggestion.
But unfortunately when i try to boot to recovery, the stock recovery opens up, not the CWM i flashed.
I tried to flash a fix for it, but it also didn't work.
But i guess flashing a new ROM will be the last option i have, so....do flashing one delete all my data? And if so, can i restore all internal data if ever i'll back it up? Thank you SO much for replying.

Well, then try three button combo (volume-down + home + power) to boot into bootloader and flash TWRP with odin.
No, your files in internal and external storage are not deleted when you format dalvik,cache,system and data partitions.
Edit: volume-down + home + power (boot to bootloader)
volume-up + home + power (boot to recovery)

Okay thanks.
By the way what version of TWRP would work great? (I have XXANF4 stock kernel btw, i still can't access the main screen of the phone after booting up)
And if i wipe system and data partitions will it delete the settings i have on the phone (ex. WiFi connection history, Bluetooth transfer history etc.)?
Thanks again.

Dang it.
Wanted to keep it.
But thanks anyway.
I still can't access the phone. It just boots up, shows the lockscreen, then crashes and automatically reboots, then gets stuck in a bootloop.
I wanted to install a custom rom like you said but i cannot copy the rom files to the sdcard (the phone's still inaccessible).
Any more suggestions? Thanks.

Also, when i try to flash the TWRP 3.0.2 you sent, Odin gives me an error that the md5 is invalid.

Also, the reboot problem existed since i installed root apps, the system crash existed since i installed a custom launcher. (Nova to be exact). I don't know if that has connection to problem.
Can anybody help?
I can't just format this phone i have internal data and settings that i cannot delete.

Do a factory reset
Go to advance and format system and data
Then flash Stock Deodex Prerooted rom by akshay
Done
It won't delete anything
Flash cwm for star via odin
Then flash twrp via cwm
Remove ur SD card and using a card reader copy ROM file into SD card.
Mount ur SD card
Then flash the rom

I mean, it deletes all the settings right? Like WiFi hotspots and bluetooth transfer history and every app i have on my phone. I just can't wrap my head around the idea that i will delete all of that just because my phone crashes on passing through the boot screen. . .

U couldn't mention what tweaks did u installed to boost the phone and what exactly happened.
So,all I can say is 'do a factory reset'..
Just flash official firmware. The problem was automatically fixed without wiping data.

So i can just normally flash the stock firmware through Odin and Download mode and not wipe data? Is that correct?

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.

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.!

So there is something very different about Oreo in this respect (like in other respects too). Glad that you found a solution!

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!

If you don't need the data simply press cancel when you see password and format data.
Or if You need to access data, well it's encrypted I guess so yeah, you need the password.

If you don't know the password you better have an SD card with the stable rom zip in it, or a computer where you can flash it.

You are simply flashing in the completely wrong steps that's why you keep getting encryption "issues"
Have a read on how to install a ROM using twrp, you obviously still using encrypted data before flashing and not formating before.
Before we had to use fore encrypt zip but not anymore so yeah there's that..
Install TWRP.
In a fresh install, simply press no when password shows, after that simply choose format data and you will get a message saying you sure "it's not a password question" simply type "yes" and press ok.
Done!
Now install what ever ROM you like.

When you format data, reboot device to recovery and after that install ROM.

What I've found is that the F1 ROMs encrypt data at the end of the boot, even if you have formatted it in twrp. Worse, they use different encryption keys between stable and Dev ROMs. Flashing stable over dev or the other way around always left me in the same situation as you. And going back to the previous ROM never worked.
