I know there are several threads about unbricking RN3 but I didn't find any article that could solve this problem, not even in other forums.
This started when apps were continuously force closing for no reason and I decided to flash a new official ROM (going on MIUI settings) but the problem persisted. So I did that via MI Flash and I had the same result.
As this force closing situation were being more and more frequent I flashed several times different official MIUI ROMS from EDL mode (developer and stable) and then, after one of this times, it just don't start the system anymore, its just keep bootlooping again and again.
I also tried another methods, like flashing updated fastboot ROMS but didn't work out.
Another thing, I've flashed TWRP once but it asked for a password so I couldn't access the files and flash a custom rom and my phone is locked (that xiaomi lock situation). But after that I've restored the original recovery (that appears an image of a unplugged/plugged phone to use with pc suite but it doen't recognize my device).
So, I don't really know what to do anymore.
I didn't even use this phone for a complete year and xiaomi lacks of support in my country and they wont help me, like they replied my by email.
Anyone could help me with this issue?
Thank you, by the way!
Try unlocking bootloader unofficially if can't do officially . Try edl mod

Actually, I tried to flash a file to do that, but didn't work out. Maybe it's the method that I've used.
Could you recommend anyone?
the simple reason is your phone is soft bricked...
all yoi have to do is flash fastboot rom via edl using mi flash tool... you will find thered relating to it in guide section of this forum.

I've tried to install TWRP but it needs a password to decript data. So it appears 0mb on everything and shows an error to format, wipe or do anything.
Remember, my device is still locked by miui.

take a picture of data format error and put here
Make sure you have try this:
wipe->format data->type "yes" and ok
also try this command in fastboot mod:
fastboot erase userdata
and remember use latest twrp
First of all I must apologize for my low level of English.
I will try to explain something strange that happens to my Pocophone since the arrival of the OTA with Android 10 and Miui11
Since I bought the Poco I have always used TWRP as recovery.
I currently use the 3.3.0.0 official TWRP version downloaded from its official app and I have no problem until the past weekend-
However, I have tried installing OrangeFox Recovery Project (OFRP), PitchBlack Recovery Project (PBRP) and an unofficial TWRP mod whose name is twrp-3.3.1-2-beryllium-adil2.img
And now I tell you I miss it.
If I boot into recovery using TWRP 3.3.0.0 it does not ask me for password, but if I flash OFRP, PBRP or mod 3.3.1.2 adil 2, it always asks me for a password when booting and tells me that the partition /data is encrypted. I do not know the password and I have never encrypted the Poco. Also the 3 revoveries show that is not installed any Tom, but when a reboot the system works perfectly.
Some colleagues have indicated to me that the data partition had been encrypted so I followed the next process to try to install a clean rom.
1. Boot in bootloader with Power + Vol-
2. Via fastboot flash OFRP
3. Boot in recovery (OFRP)
4. Format data and factory reset
5. Reboot recovery OFRP
6. Wipe: cache, Dalvik/Cache, Data and System partitions
7. Install rom XiaomiEU V11.0.4.0.QEJMIXM.zip
8. Flash DFE + Magisk
9. Reboot system
10. Complete ROM configuration
When I start again in recovery, it asks me for a password, informs me that data is encrypted and I cannot mount it, and I can't install anything.
However, if I flash TWRP 3.3.0.0 via fastboot, it no longer asks me for a password and I can mount the data partition and work normally.
If I flash again OFPR, PBRP or twrp-3.3.1-2-beryllium-adil2.img, ask me for a password again and it tells me that / data is encrypted
I tried to delete from /data/system the files locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm and locksettings.db-wal but it continues asking me for a password if the recovery is always different of TWRP 3.3.0.0

First off, your post belongs in the Q & A section. Please ask a moderator to move it as it has nothing to do with ROMs or development. Secondly, if official TWRP works, use it. Stop switching between recoveries and getting yourself all flustered.
PS: your English is fine. Don't sweat it.

You're right. Here, in my country, we usually use this saying "if something works, don't touch it"
I wanted to try other recoveries because the official TWRP does not support USB-OTG access well.
About one year ago, I tried using a 256GB flashdrive with a m.2 ssd to perform a faster backup of the rom, but TWRP don't recognize the drive.
I read in these forums that TWRP had a problem managing USB-OTG and installed PBRP and it worked fine until last week I received the Miui11/Android10 OTA. After flashing it, PBRP started asking me for the password and displaying the message "I don't detect any rom installed". Despite having a recent backup (I always do it before flashing) I was a little scared.
I decided to reinstall TWRP by fastboot and I was surprised that the rom had been updated and everything worked ok.
As some colleagues tell me that I have the encrypted / data partition, I tried to make a format of the / data partition and new installation, with the result I commented above.
However, when I received the previous OTA, which was Android9 and Miui11, there was no problem.
I just wanted to share this strange situation.
I appreciate your message.

So bro twrp official never give encryption error if I flash miuiQ using it right ?
Hey there!
I have the same Situation here and I figured at least some points out:
- the Upgrade to Android 10 encrypted the data Partition. You can see that in in your phone settings under security and password. For some security reasons of Android Q I guess.
But what password and how to change is a mystery. There are tons of articles out there which are related to "encrypt with lock screen password" but thats something different. We have this Option too in developer settings but it is not Set. So the way of our New encrypted device is still a Secret.
- Official twrp is the only one to decrypt the data correct. If you go to the "save logs" section in twrp and save it you can see the log and it says that it decrypts with Standard password. But I wasnt able to find out that this is. And as I stated before we dont use the lockscreen password to decrypt, I tried to change and disable it but guess what... I didn't change anything.
I hope we can figure out as a community what's exactly going on here.
THE PASSWORD IS:
"default_password"

I don't think it works, but sure I will try it.
I have already tried everything I have been reading through many forums and I always get the same result.: the ****ing password
I have tried to deactivate the PIN, screen pattern, passwords, I have even logged off the Mi account and then I have tried to flash OFRP, PBRP and a TWRP mod and always, always ask me for password
I've tried booting on TWRP
1. Factory reset
2. Format data (not only wipe) (I answer "yes")
3. Reboot recovery
4. wipe cache, Dalvik / cache, Data and System
5 Install rom (miui_POCOF1Global_V11.0.4.0.QEJMIXM_74f88e6c8f_10.0.zip)
5. Flash twrp
6. Flash orange fox + DFE + magisk
7. Start rom and configure.
And without entering a PIN or blocking pattern, only gmail and Mi account and when returning to reboot in recovery it asks me again for a password.
SOLUTION:
I removed lockscreen password and flashed official TWRP.
Now it's decrypted successfully
The same kind of thing happened to me. I wish that I had seen this thread before. Lost all my data. ???

I am stuck with unlocked bootloader and not able to lock it back. When I do, I see the "destroyed boot/recovery image" error screen.
Though I have stock boot.img, I don't have the stock recovery.img. Or both should help, just to be sure!
If anyone has it saved, please share, I would like to try locking it again.

Thanks for replying!
I did that today. It wasn't happening, it was failing with error - boot partition has expected contents.
Did a lot of erase and restores of partitions from rom backup with TWRP. Finally got through it somehow and it got installed with System Updates feature.
Now that it is flashed, can I simply try fastboot flashing lock and it will go through?
Not willing to spend too much time with trying it as it might wipe data (not sure of it though), hence asking here.
Or will it result into "destroyed boot/recovery image"?

Just try keep unrooted boot. Img backup of your current rom.
Then go ahead though it's got currpted (one person faced that at insta but he used that commnads when he has twrp it must work with stock recovery) but after restoring boot imgae all was fine.
But try at u r own risk later don't tag [email protected] pankspoo - guide

Wait u want to relock bootloader?
You need a otg adapter. Put Stock boot.img and the last ota update file to the usb storage.
flash stock boot.img via FKM
go to developer settings and lock oem
uninstall magisk with restore all (not image)
start phone in bootloader
fastboot flash relock
fastboot reboot recovery
select update from storage
use otg adapter with ota file
install
restart
done

If you're still searching for the stock recovery, I've attached the .img file (unzip it first)
Hello everyone, really looking for help here to unbrick my pixel 6.
I was on Stock Jan build, rooted with magisk. I tried to install Blue spark kernel via FKM, everything seemed to worked fine but once it rebooted, I got a message saying my device is corrupt. I pressed the power button to continue and it just gets stuck at the splash screen and reboot. I tried reflashing a factory image but it tells me the system partition is not found. I then tried to switch to the other slot to flash a factory image, but it tells me the system parition is too small to flash system.img. I know of no way to unbrick my pixel 6 at this point. Seems like installing Blu spark somehow messed up my paritions.
Any help is truly appreciated. I am stuck with a brick at this point.
Delete all your partitions via fastboot and then flash stock ROM.
Have you tried to boot in safe mode?
You can also try to flash the stock boot.img, which normally will work.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Why won't Team Win make TWRP for the pixel 6/7 line? Maybe I don't know something and there are some restrictions? This would really make it easier to create/install firmware and GSI firmware
TWRP is generally of little use on Pixel devices, which do not have a recovery partition. Since the bootloaders are easily unlocked and accept flashing commands, firmware can be flashed via ADB.
Installing GSIs is easy, just flash the system image to /system.

I have spent more than 6 days installing Moto UI,OneUI,MIUI. Nothing helped, you need permissive magisk, which can only be installed via TWRP, and if you put it from a task in the system, then it does not want to work... Maybe I'm doing something wrong, if it's not difficult, could you give me instructions on installing GSI?

I literally just told you. GSIs come as an image. Flash to /system. Only works if the system partition is bigger than the image. Not sure how to safely resize.
There's also several guides around XDA that can help you. There's also the official Android Source guide.
Kind of wanted to follow up...
If recovery on Pixel isn't that useful (I don't know how much I agree with that. TWRP has saved me multiple times on my Pixel 5 and 2XL in the past), what is everyone doing for backing up/restoring the entire phone image?
100% agree. Both myself and a friend of mine never try new ROMs because we don't have a perfect backup of the current setup.

This should fix it without TWRP
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system_a vbmeta_system.img
Same for the b slot. You will find the needed images in the Factory Images ig.

Absolutely agree. I like to randomly change things and revert... Like all the time. This is the first phone I can't really play with the way I like.

This should help u understand. Btw. Lineage OS and some ROMs are coming with own Recoveries since quite a Time. Had Xperias for long without TWRP and it sucked. But TWRP has hard Times with modern Android so...
Since short I own a Pixel 6a with Android 13. I want to flash KernelSU in order to root it. How would I do? I'm asking because TWRP method drops out. TIA
unlock bootloader, download pre-patched boot image and flash it from fastboot.
