Hi people,
Today I decided to unlock (2 months ago I started the process) mi Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, then install TWRP 0330 and flash a custom rom, Pixel Experience, then the last weekly firmware from Xiaomi Firmware Updater.
All works nice, without any bug for the moment. I tested audio, micro, lantern, youtube... all works as expected.
My last doubt now, is, when I enter to TWRP recovery, always prompts me for password in order to decrypt and mount partition. It's not a problem for me, because I put my fingerprint PIN and I go in. But I don't know if that affects more things.
I'm aware that are some patches to disable force encrypt, like Disable_Dm-Verity_FEC_v1.1.zip, or through TWRP there is an option on Advanced menu RM Forceencrypt. But, are worth it? What win and what I lose with no encryption? And what win or lose with encryption, like now?
Thanks

As long as TWRP is able to decrypt your data partition, you might as well stick with it. It is an extra safety precaution in case your phone ever gets lost or stolen. The disadvantage would be, if you ever need to factory reset your phone, you will need your original password to get back into it (perhaps even your Xiaomi account pw), and your data partition will get completely wiped. No way around it.

Hi,
last week I bought myself a Huawei P20 Lite as this one seems to be good comprise between size, speed and price and all together I find this device quite nice.
However I'm not a big fan of this ROMs, it's bloated and you have to confirm on each and everyhting, so I tried to reduce this dramatically and I began a long journey....
Unlock the bootloader
When I bought the device I wasn't aware about the issues that I may face (Downgrad, additional 4 Euro to spend) but OK, I thought it would be worth....
Installing Recovery
..but I couldn't be more wrong. It seems that there's no working TWRP for this device out there. I tried a lot, both on 8.0 and 9.1 but each time I tried to
wipe cache/dalvik the whole system got stucked and wasn't able to show the boot animation. So, assuming that there's really no working recovery out there, I continued to
directly flash different ROMs and try out my luck.
Rooting
This wasn't as hard as I though first, at least, as long as the ROM I've used had an advanced Reboot-Menu with the possibilty to boot to recovery, otherwise you end up somewhere in the desert and
may not be able to restart with boot.
The problem is, that this device required to patch the RECOVERY_RAMDISK partition, so in order to have Magisk booted, you required to use the Recovery. No big deal: just Power up
using VolUp and Power until the Huawei logo appears... normally.. It didnt work in more than 50% of the times...
Gapps (or Magisk)
OK, as I already indicated, I tried lots of them, but to be honest, none of them really convinced me (all was done on EMUI9.1 "AB" and not EMUI8 "A only")
GSI Phh Treble: nice, but this is one of thinks I did not checked in depth, as almost all (?) are based on this one...
OmniRom from OpenKirin: works perfectly out of the box, SafeteNet is working, Magisk can be installed, but no advanced boot menu and I find it a little bit overloaded...
MicroG ufOffical: I would go with it, everyhting worked, it's slim BUT I couldn't get my Banking-App working, not even after appliying multiple MagiskHide Prop-Settings...
Descendant: This one was by far my favorite... Really slim, advanced reboot-menu, but I couldn't flash Gapps. OK, so I tried MicroG: this can be installed using Magisk. After some trouble (e.g. you have to install DroidGuardHelper so that the OS recognizes an "Update") I got MicroG working, but I coulnd't get it with my Banking-App. In this ROM I couldn't even apply any MagiskProp Hide-Settings. Only Post-FS worked. OK, as I'Ve failed using this approach, I thought: maybe I can use Gapps with this image.... but as I stated at the beginning: I do not have any working Recovery.
So my questions:
Is there any working Recovery out there? TWRP 3.3.x supports to be flashed in RECOVERY_RAMDISK (and there's also offical support for P20 Pro) As of now I wouldn't even care about decrypted data, but at least be able to wipe and do a factory reset....
Or: Is it possible to install Gapps from a running (rooted) system?
Or: can I patch system.img with Gapps before flashing it to the phone?
But perfectly: did anyone get Descendant running with MagiskHideProp? Maybe even got MicroG running on it?
I'm currently out of ideas, did someone else had such a trouble with that device?
Best regards,
Peter
Well, yes. Kinda the same as you but I didn't try that many roms. I tried a fair bunch of twrp versions though. And I managed to use twrp to flash roms and if I remember well even do a dalvik/cache wipe with one of them - but I might be imagining that one. It is worth noting that you can actually use some twrp versions for other huawei devices on the p20 lite. Try at your own risk. There is a lot more development going on for the p8 lite (2017) for example. I tried the lineageos version that was posted herefor that device and it worked quite well.
So this guide was written by @DeathByArmadillo who partly copied it from user "Danmue" from an old post. Anyway, it works.
Tested on Mi Note 10 with Global rom.
Just re-posted it in it's own thread because the information was a bit scattered among the threads.
What you will need:
- An unlocked phone (duh). It can take 3 days, a week, or more to get your phone unlocked. So I recommend starting the process as soon as you get the phone.
- A full backup of your phone as this will wipe it clean. Unlocking ALSO wipes your phone. You can use Google One (as far as I know) to backup most stuff. I usually use Super Backup & Restore to back up all contacts, calendars, etc. Then I copy over ALL my folders to my PC - except "Android" as it's just usually junk/data files for apps that I can't copy back anyway. Last I use Google One to also do a full backup. As far as I know - this is what you can do without root.

- Fastboot/adb/Android SDK tools installation. https://developer.android.com/studio (Scroll down for "Command line tools").
Yes, you need the two recoveries. At least I needed both.
What we do, notes:
- I had issues with OrangeFox while I was using EEA firmware (EU). After flashing Global firmware on my phone the battery issues went away, and I was able to use OrangeFox after.
- TWRP can be a bit non-responsive, like for me it was at the unlock screen. For some reason after a few tries I managed to make my inputs work. Just kept touching the screen lol.
Steps:
- Boot your phone in fastboot mode. (Turn it off; Then hold VOLUME_DOWN and Power. it should display this weird looking thing with an ushanka saying FASTBOOT MODE.)
- Open command prompt and go to the Android SDK tools folder where you can find "fastboot.exe".
- Type the following:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-tucana-mauronofrio.img
- TWRP will boot up now. Unlock your device as normal and it should show up in Windows as a drive.
Copy over the
Code:
OrangeFox-Unofficial-tucana-20191120.zip
file.
- Go into Install on your phone and pick the OrangeFox zip file you just copied over.
Once done, just go Back and Reboot and Recovery.
- OrangeFox should boot up. Unlock once again.
- Go into Partition management, tap Data, and tap Format. Not wipe, FORMAT.
(if you get an error reboot to recovery and try again)
- Go Back, Reboot, Recovery.
- Copy the Xiaomi.EU rom you want to the phone. I used Stable.
- Use Install within OrangeFox to install the rom.
- Go back. Reboot into Recovery. Once again.
- Format data partition. NOT wipe. Format.
- Finally, reboot to system.
Thanks for taking the time to order it, good job
Though NOW the issue is that the recovery (either TWRP or Orange Fox) won't work with touch, which is a bit of a pain.

Sorry my emails didn't arrive. Interesting, it works for me. Followed the steps 100%, using Mi Note 10 Global rom. I just booted up Orange Fox after turning off my phone and it works just fine. I seriously wonder what can kill recovery input... sounds like such a super weird bug.
I did boot TWRP (mauronofrio's) and then installed OrangeFox from there. Maybe that's the key.

Yeah, possibly that, no clue. Don't get me wrong, it's not a biggie, as I always have an OTG mouse setup just in case that kind of stuff happens, just weird. On the whole that phone is a bit of an odd duck, not sure I'm going to stick to it, too much inconsistencies, both hardware and software.

Yea I tried to find blobs today for 730g but there is nothing on the internet (yet?).
I mean, the phone works for me - if they just fix the missing "Ignore Do Not Disturb" option, I am golden...
flashed orangefox through twrp, touch doesnt work at all. But it worked on the first time, flashed MIROOM. Maybe it is related to the currently installed rom.
Edit: Flashed TWRP from fastboot and touch is working again. Just to be sure, reflashed orangefox and it didn't work again... I'll stick to TWRP, although I dont know if it is a problem with TWRP but i can't flash GSI roms
Hello,
Sorry for my Bad english.
with the stable rom 11.0.7, the orange fox touch works perfectly.
but with development roms, touch does not work. tested with 20.1.9 and 20.1.15.

For flashing recoveries as twrp, I think the bootloader always needs to be unlocked.

Well, that's better than battery drain I hope android 10 with miui will be flawless:fingers-crossed:
So as the title says i saw that the EU ROM for android 10 was available and i downloaded it and dirty flashed it via TWRP before disabling all (Camera IR enabler and GL tools) magisk modules. The Phone booted but all my apps were gone. Rebooted to TWRP and it couldn't decrypt /data even with my phone password.
I use the decryption support TWRP.
It got even more messed up and had to format /data and lost all my data in the process.
Why did I get encrypted when i flashed the EU ROM ? Did i do something wrong ? I don't want to have to go through this again.
Had the same issue as well. I thought EU roms had force encryption disabled

I also thought that too. Looks like you can't trust even one of the most reliable ROM releases now. I always take backups before doing anything crazy. Just this time I decided that I didn't need one as I had a great experience with EU ROMs. It wouldn't have been a big problem for me if the govt. hadn't banned internet here. ??
HI to all
Strange behaviour with my phone. As title says, I cannot add PIN or fingerprint.
I have unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and rooted with Magisk 23. On Dev Settings OEM lock is enabled but I can switch it off if I want. It is not dimmed as it should be. I have checked bootloader unlock status via Fastboot - "fastboot getvar all" and it says (bootloader) unlocked: yes
Has anyone any idea why PIN or fingerprint cannot be added?
I have to say that I am bit frustrated with this phone, always something is not working as it should. Never know what tomorrow happens.
This my second One Plus Nord 2. First one I had 2 months, during that period of time it was 3 times at service. Once motherboard was changed. What they did other (2) times I do not know. And now this new one, which I got as replacement bec older sucks , is starting to suck too
Is metadata responsible for PIN or fingerprint? It holds keys for security, so maybe if I flash new metadata would it help/fix problems or is it device specific?
Any ideas, thank you
I had this exact same issue as well, and it seems to be linked to the way TWRP restores/saves the data partition in my case. My fix was to boot into recovery and wipe/reformat all data.
After a fresh wipe, my issues were resolved, but i had to manually redownload and setup all apps again. I did multiple tests and the issue would always come if i restored my data partition; whether i flashed it via TWRP or via fastboot. It's likely the way TWRP saves the data partition was my issue.

HI and thank you for reply
Do you mean stock recovery? I have tried TWRP - format data, didn't help.
If you format data using TWRP my experience is that TWRP will uninstall itself in the process, so you'll boot into stock recovery after that anyway.
I would honestly suggest doing both. If you have TWRP, reformat and wipe using TWRP wipe. Next time you boot to recovery, it should be stock. Do another reformat+wipe on stock recovery. Should do the trick.

Funnily enough, both of your issues are caused by TWRP not flashing partitions correctly, at least from my testing.
In Jis's case, (RE: Current thread) it's because TWRP does not flash the DATA partition correctly, and prevents the phone from being able to set a lockscreen password (and therefore the Data partition cannot be encrypted). And without a lockscreen, the stockOS does not allow you to set biometrics such as fingerprints/face unlock, though theoretically in this case, both sensors work perfectly, it's a simple software restriction.
In Exis's case,(RE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/cant-add-fingerprint-device-vibrates-like-hell.4389581/ ) it's because TWRP does not flash the PERSIST partition correctly. This messes up the sensor calibration data for the camera and fingerprint, which effectively makes both features completely unuseable.
Remember, @TheMalachite 's release of TWRP is an unofficial release and we're just glad to have it working at all. That said though, I wonder if TheMalachite is aware of these issues?

Thing is: I didn't flash ANYTHING in TWRP. It's a clean recovered stock rom done by an official OnePlus servicecenter.

This is completely unrelated to TWRP itself. OxygenOS for Nord 2 use ColorOS base which is know to give such issues (Also happen with OPPO and Realme devices on ColorOS and RealmeUI)

Then they messed up your persist image and/or calibration data in some way or fashion. Take it back and complain they messed up your stuff. Probably some novice technicians who made a mistake would be my guess.

Ah, that's good to know. So it seems everything is the fault of ColorOS.

Hi guys, I have a mobile data issue since i flashed my phone two days ago.
I cannot connect my phone to the internet unless I use wifi. Texts and calls are working.
Issue is occurring on both Lineage OS 18 (unofficial) and CrDroid 11.
I already flashed and reflashed the roms, wipe data, system, everything multiple times, flashed the original modem/NON-HLOS.bin file via fastboot with no luck. Tried on multiple recovery too just in case (twrp, pitchblackRP, OrangeFox). I mostly use sideloading but install from an sd card got me the same results.
Issue happens with rooted (magisk last version) roms and unrooted roms aswell.
I had several issues about twrp/recovery being unable to mount /data, which I tricked to do so by resizing data from ext4 to ext2 then to ext4 again. Not sure that's the good way to do it.
I tried to go back to a clean room with relocking the bootloader and flashing the official fastboot rom but I got stuck on a bootloop. I tried other methods with MiFlash and succeeded into booting the official rom but i'm stuck on the Welcome/new device screen (the little slideshow crash/won't advance to the next step when i have to choose between recover data from an old phone or start from scratch). I went back to crdroid for now.
My first thought was to tinker with the APN but it didn't worked, sometimes i get a message like "APN Settings are not available for the current user" but I usually manage to still write them, with no effect still. I'm on the a french operator called "Free"
Typing ##4636## in my phone app gets me to a debug menu where I can see that I'm not connected to the data services (but i'm connected to the vocal services). I have a way to check the IMS state in this menu, which tells me that i'm not registered, don't know what that means.
Already did the trick of cleaning sim card, going in plane mode, changing favorite network and so on. I'm a little desperate
If you cannot help me with this, can someone points me a good tutorial on how to going nuclear on a phone and delete everything to reflash an official Mi rom ? I'm quite used to flashing roms but I still get a bit lost between a factory reset, a data wipe, and what to flash/wipe/mount in order etc.
Vendor or firmware flashing you test?
I think maybe vendor help
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Sorry i didn't mention it. My last flash attempt was flash Xiaomi FW > flash crdroid > flash gapps >flash magisk and that's my current set up, and it still doesn't works. The issue might lie in the SIM card, i previously tried the sim card of a relative on my phone and it didn't do much but this morning the same sim worked and mine still does not. I'll report back once I have a new one.
Edit: could you explain what vendor is ? What's the difference with the fw or a rom ?

Sorry i didn't mention it. My last flash attempt was flash Xiaomi FW > flash crdroid > flash gapps >flash magisk and that's my current set up, and it still doesn't works. The issue might lie in the SIM card, i previously tried the sim card of a relative on my phone and it didn't do much but this morning the same sim worked and mine still does not. I'll report back once I have a new one.

I'm going to lose it lmao, the reason why I didn't had any access to my mobile data is because... My monthly bill payment didn't went through because of a credit card renewal.... I apparently decided to flash my rom the day of the due date and didn't saw any warning hence the confusion. Probleme solved, I paid my bill and the data is back (what a surprise). i feel like an idiot but i've learnt things, thanks for the link joke19.
