I do direct flash and i got encrypted so i format internal. But after that i still got encrypted.
Any help??

[Q] Wiping internal SD

Hey guys,
I flashed NeatROM recently for the 4.3 update.
Followed these steps before flashing:
-Install CWM Recovery with Odin
-Download, and save zip to internal sdcard
-Go to recovery, Select Wipe data, Wipe cache
-Go to Advance and Select Wipe dalvik cache
-Go to Mounts and storage, select Format system
-Select Install Rom from SD card

Click to collapse
Everything went well and the rom works fine.
I went in to flash a custom kernel earlier and when I selected install from zip I noticed that all my data/folders from the previous rom were still present. The new data is now in a ' 0\ ' folder.
I was running a 4.1.2 rom with Siyah kernel before I flashed 4.3. I also had a build of carbon flashed as a second rom for a short time. I'm guessing this has something to do with the data left behind.
I just want to start with a clean slate and wipe the internal SD completely; will megawipe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832326&page=38) do what I need it or do I need to format the SD from within CWM?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. after such a wipe is it better to flash a new rom via ODIN or would it be okay just use a zip from an external SD.

You need to format /data partition. Megawipe will work. But, IHMO, no need for that. Just do it yourself from CWM.
Also, theres a big difference between odin "roms" and flashable zip roms.
If you flash something via Odin, it means that's probably (or surely) an official Samsung firmware without modifications. A flashable zip one is a custom rom.
Depends what you need/want. Most of us here use custom roms that we flash via cwm.
Thanks for the quick reply, bornlivedie.

I'll do it via the CWM /data format over the weekend. Cheers.

My mistake for not being clearer in my original post; I have flashed a few custom roms before so I did know that Odin's generally reserved for flashing official sammy roms and customs go through custom recoveries.
Thanks for the heads up and the concern though. Much appreciated.
Going to 4.3 I'd recommend formatting the internal sd in CWM, also system, data and preload. If you read neat rom thread you see similar advice, the 5.4 aroma installer comes with Philz 5.15 recovery which is the best CWM to use.

Thx for help !!

Encryption is enabled by default in 7.1.1.
But will it cause any problems with dirty flashing or changing roms? Same case with me I've a encrypted phone now after flashing RR from zcx TWRP coming from MIUI 8mm

TWRP Recovery Restoring Guide Help

Hi,
I want to revert back to stock MIUI !
I had a backup of my MIUI ROM on TWRP.
So my question now is
• can only Restoring The MIUI from TWRP will delete the my current RR ROM ?
• my backed up ROM was of about 10 GB or so , so will I need to have 10 GB of internal Storage before I Restore the MIUI ROM?
• I am rooted now and Was rooted in MIUI ROM , will I get the root back?
- any additional Info is welcomed -
Reply as soon please because I really need this fast !
Your current rom deleted
Need 10 GB above free internal storage
Yes you root get back
Yes, you can restore a MIUI backup in TWRP.
Yes, it will overwrite whatever rom you currently have installed.
If internal storage space is an issue, just use a micro SD or USB drive connected via OTG cable.

Uncryption unsuccessfully

When i flash any rom with zxc recovery at booting it say uncryption unsuccessfully plz enter the correct password
I try wipe cache and data
Format your data partition!
+ Plus when flashing roms also patch the boot image so it does not get encrypted on next boot of rom.
SuperSu/Magisk and Custom Kernels have the above patch, plus a script called FED patcher.
TWRP doesn't work well with encrypted devices.
Format data
This is encrypted by the company..so to avoid this first you need to take a backup of the internal storage and then copy the ROM files and gapps in the SD card ..now open twrp recovery then click on wipe then format data...then type yes
This will format the internal data ..(SO PLEASE TAKE A BACK)
..Now install the ROM using sd card and enjoy the ROM..
Hope this solves your issue

Cant access internal storage in recovery

Hello guys,
i wanted to use a custom rom, so i unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom (i could access the internal memory from windows while in recovery). Now i wanted to use another rom, so i boot in orange fox, do format data, wipe and reboot to recovery. But now, i cant access the internal storage anymore. Windows explorer shows me the device, but i cant acess it. I have the global version Redmi Note 9 pro. I tried pitch black recovery as well as Mauronofrio's TWRP. I also tried to flash the Stock Rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com with the official mi flash tool and followed this instruction (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unable-to-decrypt-fbe-device.4206579/page-3#post-84370443). But then again, i could not access the internal storage from windows and the moved files from step 4 where not there anymore.
When i boot to the original stock rom, run all the setup and stuff and then boot again to recovery, i am able to access the internal storage. but then again, after format data i cant access it anymore and cant copy any custom rom on the phone. What to do?
Use adb sideload to install the ROM directly from your PC.
Not all recoveries support it though.
LineageOS recovery does so that's the reason why I use it.

Just few alternate method without adb/PC:
1. Use an sdcard to store roms, recovery backups...
2. Few days ago forget to copy the rom to sdcard (and already formatted the data), used an otg cable and installed the rom from usb-stick without any problem.
3. Flash the rom from internal storage, format data and boot to system.
Always use latest recovery (now ofox 11.0.1).
