need help - Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers

Yesterday i tried to install twrp and magisk (obviusly i flashed the no verity encrypt too), needless to say It didn't work.
Rom doesn't "see" the sim card anymore signaling that the device is damaged, plus navbar and gesture's dont work anymore (exception made for the return home swipe) tryed to do everything that came on my mind with no results. Please answer me.

Did the noverity file you flashed disabled encrypt? If it did, that's the reason the sims are not working. You can enable encrypt again Settings/Additional Settings/Privacy/Encryption & Credentials.

Sorry for being late, by the way no, no verity encrypt also doesn't work. In case you want to know I've followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-6a/how-to/share-twrp-3-2-3-redmi-6a-t3866971
Right now I have the root by having modified the boot.img and everything works but data partition is still encrypted

Only way to have signal after that, is install MIUIPRO Rom for Redmi 6A

The same thing happened to me, I solved it by installing Miui ROM again.

Cannot decrypt encrypted partition when using TWRP or CWM

I unlocked and rooted my AT&T HTC One with the stock AT&T 4.3 image, installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 and rebooted into recovery. Due to restrictions from my company, I am required to have the partition encrypted. When I boot into TWRP, I enter the same password I use to decrypt the phone when I boot it from off. However, TWRP fails to accept the password and will not let me access the file system.
I have also tried using flashing the recovery to CWM 6.0.4.3 and using that only to have the same issue.
Ideally, I would like to be able to flash patches to remove both the AT&T bloatware and the 'Dial 611' check for tethering.
I have tried a few proposed solutions from XDA to the issue but still cannot get around it. If any has had success in getting around it, can you please post steps of what you did here for the sake of clarity?
Thank you!

I have the same issues. Did you find a solution?
I did not. I eventually wound up doing a reset of all data the phone, applied the ROM image I wanted and added things back.
i only found this one: https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/247
and then i changed the Password with cryptfs.
But it doesn't work for me......
I have the same issue here... =\

I was just searching for the same issue, and I stumbled upon that thread as well. Except there's now an additional post from mid-February with more details:
https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/247#issuecomment-34895111
Looks like HTC doesn't use the same encryption scheme as stock Android, but rather uses some specific HTC algorithm, so TWRP doesn't support it because it would be too much work to do so. Dissapointing, but also understandable. I've only just encrypted my device (in order to be able to check my Exchange email for work), and I didn't think about the TWRP no longer being able to access my data partition or the internal sdcard... Reading through some of the more recent comments, though, it's still possible future releases of TWRP (2.7+) may resolve the issue, though I just tried the most recent release (2.7.0.0) with no luck.
I have the same issue. I tried the most recent TWRP as of this writing, 2.7.1.1, and it still doesn't decrypt on my HTC One.
I've had this issue on mine as well. Simply decrypt storage within settings. Reboot in TWRP, flash patch, re-encrypt. Pain in the a$$ but it works for me.

How do you mean "simply decrypt storage within settings" ?

Go into settings and disable encryption within the main android OS. Reboot into recovery. Flash whatever you need. Reboot back into OS. Re enable encryption. Pain but it worked.

Heyyo, did you create a new Google account or have an existing one that you forgot the password on?
Or did you buy this phone used and it's asking for the previous owner's Google account?

I have a similar question. I have my sister's Le 2 and its binded with her number (not email id) . whenever i try to factory reset it , it asks for a password. i have tried several times but every time there is server error. So should i wipe it via recovery and after it boots will it ask me to enter the binded account id and password again? additionally .. if i flash twrp and another rom will the phone still remain binded ? (will i be able to boot in other rom ? ) thank you in advance

Heyyo, hmm tbh I'm not too sure if it would or not... But the hurdle might be that you'd still need your sister's sim card or number in order to get into the phone and enable bootloader unlocking if it won't disable via fastboot.
Please try following this guide

I am able to use the phone with all apps and everything. I just want to factory reset it, but it wont let me unbind the account , even after entering correct password. Should i completely remove eui and flash custom rom ?

Heyyo, Yeah either a custom version of EUI ROM or any custom Nougat ROM. I would recommend avoiding the Oreo builds (Omni 8, AICP 13 or LineageOS 15) as they are very experimental for now with many bugs that need fixing.
I'm uncertain which custom EUI ROMs are the best as I've never tried them.
For custom Nougat ROMs? For stability and the only custom ROM with Google Certification for SafetyNet? OmniROM 7. It's built on the solid Darkobas kernel and has built in Dolby Atmos support and IR Blaster. All with selinux set as enforcing so your phone is as secure as possible. Imo it's the best custom ROM that andr68rus built for Nougat.
Otherwise? SlimRoms is another solid entry for a balance between stability and performance and it's still under active development. It does require Magisk root and for some even requires a Universal SafetyNet Fix.
There's others that try as many optimization and changes as possible over stability such as Ressurection Remix or BlackX if you want to try and have the fastest performance
So really it's up to you which one you want to try.
Thank you so much for such an detailed reply
You're welcome!
Hope you enjoy custom ROMs as much as I do

Patched boot image for routing

Hello every one,i am trying to root my phone. The flashing method with twrp is not an option as it ask for password to decrypt data.
So i am trying the method with magisk manager,but although i have internet connection, it does not shiw the install button.
Has every one the same problem?or at least the patched boot image?
I have the latest rom installed from official Xiaomi site
You can't flash magisk if you are not rooted. I don't use encryption but do know you have to have the correct recovery to access your encrypted data. Look in the threads about twrp pie recovery.

Sorry I used orange fox recovery and no clue if it works with pie encryption. FYI there are 3 different display panels used on the mi 8 lite. 2 of the three panels are fully supported but sadly it seems like you have the one that is not. There are a few threads here talking about twrp/encryption/touchscreen and I believe one of them found a solution. Yet again I don't use encryption so I have only glanced at these threads and dont remember what the solution is.
Have you tried any of the other recoveries based on twrp? Orange fox, batik or perp? You might have to go to 4pda forum to find them.

Thanks a lot i will try this,but what do you mean saying you are not using encryption. I don't use encryption because i choose it, i also try removing pin password and finger print but results was the same
Have you a link or can you post the zip of orange fox here?link at pda does not work
Edit:found link and now trying it
Edit2: Still says data is encrypted, how can i remove enctyption?
Edit3: As i understand, encryption has nothing to do with recovery, but is something Rom does
so is anything i can do to root device without to wipe data?
If anyone had a patched image that i could install through adb, everything would be easy

[OUTDATED][GUIDE][CUSTOM ROM]Kali Nethunter installation

Only should work on Android 10 based ROMs
External wifi adapters need custom kernel compiling
I've suffered to get the Kali Nethunter working on custom ROMs
U need free storage available (not sure cuz I've formated data then installed and it's been a while but ig not less than 15 gbytes)
Here are the steps :
1.download the file from offensive security website
(Not sure if external links are allowed but here it is ) : https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
(Just look for miui davinci file)
2.Download it and extract on whatever device u want the copy the extracted folder to the roo of the storage (of course not the "/" folder the "storage/emulated/0" one
3. Go into extractedFolder/data/app/
And make sure every app there is installed especially the nethunter.apk
4.copy the "kalifs-arm64-full.tar.xz" file to the root
"storage/emulated/0"
5.Open the Nethunter app and go into chroot manager and install chroot
5.Browse for the file location which you copied into the root "storage/emulated/0" and it will start installing it will take up too 10 to 15 minutes
6.You are done now but HID attacks aren't working
7.Go to USB arsenal and change "reset" into anything that has " hid" untill you see a successful toast message then save config to database
Done.
If it helped you hit the thanks button (your choice)
I'll be available asap if anyone has a question
how about monitor mode on wifi dongle? have you tested it?

Monitor mode works by default using the internal card
For external I don't have one to test it now
But I am sure it will work as long as it has a supported chip

Sorry I wish I was able to help
But the tag says [CUSTOM ROM]
SO I HAVE No Idea
Maybe try this
Don't flash any thing just follow the procedure listed above and It may work
Just don't flash anything
It won't work, cuz you need kernel for monitoring for example wifi - stock kernels can't put wlan1 (internal or external) wifi to monitor mode, so you won't be able to pentest routers

Are you trying to install Nethunter onto stock miui rom?
If so, take a look at
https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?48308-Xiaomi-Mi-9t-Not-Work-Hid-Monitor-Bad-USB
This worked for me
I'm running full Nethunter on Mi9t stock MiUi Global 11.0.4 rooted with Magisk.zip (via TWRP) and everything just works like a charm. No problems capturing packets, injection support is doing fine and HID seems to work (never tested it but NH App shows its working)
All i had to do was root the Mi9t with Magisk (flashed the zip via TWRP), after checking that everything went well ive booted back into TWRP and flashed the nethunter-2020.2-pre3-davinci-miui-ten-kalifs-full.zip downloaded at https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/
After that i had to reflash Magisk.zip again (directly after flashing the nethunter.zip without rebooting the device!) and thats it.
As the pre-build images you get at offensive-security allready come with the tweaked kernel u need for injection and monitor mode, theres no need to flash a 'nethunter kernel' afterwards...it works 'out of the box'
Flashing another nethunter kernel afterwards will most probably result in a bootloop... (tried myself a few times with hasty nethunter kernel)
Ive only tried this with the officiall pre-built images on a stock MiUi ROM.
If you want to flash NH on a Costum ROM, you should probably go with the Guide from OP

4.reboot
5.inizializza and upgrade Magisk (download update Magisk to phone)
6.download Busybox module (Magisk)
7.poweroff
8.twrp flash "nethunter-2020.2-davinci-miui-ten-kalifs-full.zip" flash (Magisk downloaded to phone) flash "Disable_Dm-rity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip"

Does Kali work with QFJEUXM 11.0.5?
By following the cited guide

Is it necessary to flash, maybe Kali breaks the stock built-in GApps?
-"Disable_Dm-rity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip"
Is it also necessary to flash, Magisk cannot make it pass SafetyNet without?
Also, does installing Kali affect:
- Widevine L1 (dropping to L3)
- 4G/4G+ (by disabling some bands or carrier aggregation)?
One more question, what would be a procedure to go back to stock?
Manually updating to the stock Recovery/ZIP firmware from System update/Choose update package would be enough or flashing Fastboot/TGZ firmware by Mi Flash Tool will be needed?

Well, somewhere i've read that it should work with 11.0.5 too but dont remember where...would have to search for it again to provide a link to you...
- Format Data and wipe
Not sure if its necessary, but i did so. Its always a good thing to do before flashing any ROM.
Just try it without that step and you'll see...you can always reflash to stock if you get any errors, so just give it a shot mate
-"AOSiP-10-Quiche-davinci-20200526-gapps.zip
Nope, thats not necessary for sure. I'm using it with the stock built gapps and its working fine
-Disable_Dm-rity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
Thats pretty strange with that ForceEncrypt step, some say they had to others not. I did not flash it to be honest and everythings okay so far. But theres a Chance that you will have to! Maybe it belongs to which ROM you are using (global,eu,chinese) but cant tell for sure...
So this one you will have to figure out yourself, sry.
-4G and LTE is working good for me, so i'd say kali isnt affecting it
-About Widefine, well i dont know to be honest...im watching Prime and Sky Go on the Phone sometimes but for the Quality Prime just says 'optimal' and Sky Go 'HD'...it looks great for sure but i cant tell the exact Quality....if theres a way to check that, let me know and i'll be happy to do that for you
-One more question, what would be a procedure to go back to stock?
I would just do a wipe/format and flash the stock MiUI image or better, your backup via TWRP (or any other custom Recovery)
For me, Fastboot by MiFlashTool is always the last option. If nothing else works, Fastboot is a Livesaver but thats just 'my way' of doing it, there are probably many others who say otherwise!
Sometimes it needs a lot of testing to figure out the best way for your specific device, so always do a backup and flash a custom recovery before flashing Nethunter. That way, its always posible to get back to Stock if you encounter any bootloops/problems after the installation.
Its like always while playing around with any OS...if it wont work, you just have to "Try Harder"
Im happy to help anyway, if you got any more Questions just shout out mate

Thank you a lot for your answer.
Btw, few days ago I upgraded to QFJEUXM v11.0.6 (so no more 11.0.5), which is newer than the Kali pre-built image, but according to v11.0.6 Changelog only Security patch was updated
I'm still tempting to try Kali (currently having new official TWRP v3.4.0, Magisk Canary 20416 and Hasty kernel)...

By going back to stock you said flashing MIUI. - so you mean flashing ZIP/Recovery firmware through TWRP?

Btw, few days ago I upgraded to QFJEUXM v11.0.6 (so no more 11.0.5), which is newer than the Kali pre-built image, but according to v11.0.6 Changelog only Security patch was updated
I'm still tempting to try Kali (currently having new official TWRP v3.4.0, Magisk Canary 20416 and Hasty kernel)...
You can check your Widevine Security level (still interested if you have L1) by

By going back to stock you said flashing MIUI. - so you mean flashing ZIP/Recovery firmware through TWRP?

No problem, i'm happy to help wherever i can :good:
-Btw, few days ago I upgraded to QFJEUXM v11.0.6...
Yeah, im not surprised bout that...sorry for the late answer :/
Thank you for pointing out these two Apps mate!
I've checked my Widevine Security Level and both Apps showing Widefine L1 (Screenshots attached) so no downgrade after flashing Nethunter
Yes thats correct, to get back to stock you would have to flash the ZIP/Recovery firmware through TWRP.Only if that doesnt work you'd have to do it through Fastboot.
If you did a full backup (i.e. through TWRP) of your system before flashing Nethunter, you would be able to restore it by flashing the recovery,dtbo,boot and system images one by one through TWRP/Fastboot (not sure but i think it should be enough to just reflash the system.img, boot.img and dtbo.img to get your pre-Nethunter Setup/Specs back (English isnt my native Language so in case you dont get what im trying to explain...that means your stock 11.0.6 with TWRP v3.4.0, Magisk Canary 20416 and the Hasty kernel including all your Settings and Stuff)
You wouldnt have to flash a 'naked stock rom' if Nethunter doesnt work
If you're still not comfortable enough to install Nethunter onto your Device, just wait a few more Days.
I will try to get Nethunter running on the 11.0.6 ROM myself as soon as i have some more time!Will also try it with your Specs/Setup by then

Obviously you set the wrong Folder Name...just choose one of the three options from Screenshot 1!?
But to be honest, and i really dont want to offend you, if you couldnt figure that one out yourself you shouldnt install Nethunter at all...
@zgfg
Sorry mate, wasnt able to try it so far.....very busy at work atm! Will do the next few Days

Ok, I installed NetHunter zip image for Davinci over QFJEUXM v11.0.6.0 and re-rooted with Magisk Canary v20419.
Ran NetHunter app and chroot.
I think it looks ok - screenshots attached
Btw, tried yesterday Wifite to 'break' three WPA WLANs (Private, not Enterprise) for whom I actually know passwords - their passwords are weak like vesna1970 or 136923457
Wifite was running for two or three hours, trying Pixie-Dust, NULL PIN, PIN Attack, Handshake capture but eventually failed for all three connections
I will set up a WEP AP at home next week to test again, but who nowadays still uses WEP. Almost everybody would be using WPA, and with stronger passwords than above
If so, I doubt it is of big (educational) use and I am suspect about YT movies where they successfully break WPA in 30 minutes (or more)
Receiving a notification to update NetHunter from Installed 2020.2 to 2020.2?!
But the Update fails with Error -110 - on screenshots
Btw, I have successfully updated (couple of times) packages from NetHunter app, currently there is nothing to update there
Edit:
Fixed the NH app update notification: open NetHunter Store, Settings, Expert mode and untick Privilege Extention.
Let it update the NetHunter app

If i flash the Pixel Experience OTA Update, what happens exactly?

do i lose data and have to reinstall everything?
yea i think all the data is resetted or something. And you need to reinstall all apps also

No you will not lose ur data if you are encrypted as PE is by default. It needs PE Recovery tho.
If you used DFE to stay decrypted and in TWRP then you must NOT use OTA and manually update the ROM everytime along with DFE zip so you will not face bootloops.
If you have any other question let me know.

If you still have TWRP try to reboot to recovery. If you see random names on folders and files then you are encrypted.
Or simply go to setting in Security and somewhere says if your device is encrypted or not.
TWRP can't decrypt A12 encrypted ROMs yet, thats why u either need to decrypt if u want to stay with TWRP and manually update the ROM always along with DFE -and never use OTA- or use the Recovery that each ROM provides (if they are encrypted by default) which can handle OTA but you lose many abilities that TWRP have.
If you are stable user of a certain ROM, I recommend you to stay encrypted and use the recovery they provide to use OTA updates.
If you change ROMs like your shirts and trying them out, then you maybe need to consider to stay decrypted and use DFE always and never use OTA.

ah okay, TWRP doesn't show me in the settings if i am encrypted or not but when i start TWRP, i have to type in my password and it says among other things "data successfully decrypted". And if i skip the password then all files are randomly named. So i guess i am encrypted.
I am a stable PE user but i am a bit confused now. If i make the OTA update what TWRP abilities am i losing?
edit: i updated now, TWRP doesn't seem different but i lost root. Reinstalling Magisk doesn't work for some reason.

You can check if you are encrypted or not at security section in Settings inside the ROM.
If you replace TWRP with PE recovery for example you miss some settings that TWRP had, but that's all. You don't need these if you are stable and casual user of PE.
