Hello! I wanted to root my phone and I installed twrp. When I wanted to install magisk, the phone has started to restart in twrp mode and I made a big mistake. I made a wipe all data system, everything.
How can I install a os now? There is twrp but I can not make copy a file from pc to phone. Help me please..
When TWRP have booted you should be able to transfer rom. Maybe you need to format (where you need to confirm with yes) first if encryption is enabled.
Search for TWRP settings, enable and disable the USB Connection feature. Already tried?

I am trying to install TWRP and root my Mi Mix. I have followed the steps below without encountering any error messages.
1. Go into fastboot
2. Flash TWRP recovery
3. Boot into recovery.
But at the end when I boot into recovery I see Mi Recovery 3.0 instead of TWRP. Am I missing anything? My device is unlocked. I am currently running MiUI 9.6.1 Global stable Android 8.0

Never mind I solved the problem by booting from the pc. But I have a new problem. Two problems really. First of all I can't seem to get the data partition backed up. I get the error unable to mount *\data *. Secondly I cannot install magisk.zip. I cannot find the file in twrp though it is in main storage in the device. Do I need to copy it to any specific location for the twrp to use it?
Same like your firs post. But i not try instal magisk. I using SU. Now not root and not cusum recovery

You can install it using a usb stick or via sideload.
You cant backup because the twrp's dont let you enter the password for the encryption on the device thus leaving it encrypted.
If u dont want to delete everything then use sideload for the Magisk installer, if u dont mind then u can go ahead and format data and the encryption will be gone untill you go back to system, then the device will encrypt the data again.

I tried to install magisk using sideload enabled but still got error unable to mount storage at the end so I deleted data. And then I was able to install magisk without error. However, when I check root status with root checker it says root was not properly installed. When I went back to twrp I was presented with a screen to enter password to mount I guess the storage or partition. Does this mean that ruth has been installed even though root checker says its not.? Secondly which password is being requested because when I entered my screen unlock password it says password failed. Is it asking for the mi account password or with other password? Thanks for your assistance.
Hi, the only thing that worked for me is to install right after the rom the encryption disabler and you'll be able to use trwp. Just follow the steps in the link below. last thing, when you'll make an update you'll loose again the trwp access.

Thanks for your reply. One question, though. Would this then allow you to backup data using twrp?

Yes you can make a backup, but in case of update you'll loose the access on your files in trwp.
A couple things :
1. You can't install magisk if your data partition is encrypted, because magisk needs to put the file in the data partition. so you need to disable the encrypt first, and then you can install magisk.
2. If your data partition is encrypted, don't bother to backup from twrp. Boot to system, connect to pc, and backup using regular way (copy and paste files).
3. Backup your data before you do any encrypt/decrypt process.
Hi
I have a problem with my twrp recovery when i want update the rom via updater app and i choose file package then reboot to update it will show twrp logo then it reboot again and twrp logo display again and twrp open normally without updating anything, im on 9.8.15 and wanna install 9.8.22 ,i installed twrp and the rom with this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/guide-how-flashed-twrp-xiaomi-eu-rom-t3912952[/URL] is that twrp img wrong ?
If yes show me the right one
If no tell me what should i wipe while i install the rom ? System,data,dalvik,cache.... ???
It sounds like your device is encrypted, so you need to format the device before installing anything. Make sure to have the latest TWRP installed (you can find it in another thread) and afterwards you can install whatever you want.
when you boot into TWRP, can you see files and folders or can you see foldernames with alot off numbers?
if the second is the case, yeah you are encrypted and need to format data in TWRP.
first you can copy and save all the needed data in normal use off the phone or usb otg, or aus cable connected to laptop

Yeah i dont see my folders like downloads android and others i just see 6 or 7 folders with lots of numbers and letters, but i formated data before i install the eu version do i need to do that again ? Will that change it to normal ?
sounds like encryption, most likely you've deleted the system and the device became encrypted again. format it again and then copy the installation files in the device . after this follow normal installation steps.
Hi, please, I need help. I wanted to root my note 8 (exynos) using TWRP (with odin) and MAGISK. But at the reboot in recovery mode, TWRP asks me to wipe my data, something I don’t wanna do of course. The problem is i can’t go back because the system reboots in a loop and I can’t make a backup of my rom with all my data because it doesn’t recognize them, when I mount a partition I can’t select data. Thank you for helping me because I don’t wanna lose my files.
After trying to update to a newer version of a custom rom, crDroid 6.4, I can no longer boot into the system. The phone only boots into recovery. TWRP no longer asks for a password in order to decrypt the phone, as it has done before. I have tried wiping Data, Cache, and Dalvik, and flashed the rom again, with no luck. Is it a way for me to force decrytion or something?
Any help is much appreciated! I am new to this, and still learning.

I assume that the data partition is actually still encrypted and you see random folder names in TWRP. If so, try formatting data in TWRP (not wipe, but format) then reboot to the ROM.

Will this delete all my files?
Also, I'm not sure if I am flashing the ROM correctly. I have the ROM, magisk and other files on my computer. I use "ADB Sideload" under advanced in TWRP and "adb sideload romname.zip" on my computer.

Yes it will delete all your files. If you boot to TWRP and it doesn't ask for the PIN, etc., but you see all your folders have random encrypted names, then everything is lost anyway. There is nothing you can do to recover that data.
In future just copy the ROMs onto the phone and flash them directly off the phone in TWRP, using the install menu.

Thanks for your help. Luckily I had backed up all my photos. I am up and running with a new rom. I am testing omni rom as it now comes with microg prebuild.
Hi!
My only encounter with rooting was several years back when it used to be a simple affair (one click rooting app based on exploits like framaroot etc), so please bear with me.
I'm on Stock Oreo 8.1 (Patch 1 Aug 2019) Sanders 1804 (India) version. I've followed various guides and have been successful in flashing TWRP 3.4.0 (Official Sanders version) and Magisk 20.4. But everytime the phone is rebooted, TWRP can't mount internal storage and shows 0mb.
I tried all three methods I could find:
1. dm-verity zip flashing - Log said fstab not found. Searched and found that from Oreo, Android's encryption approach has been changed. I couldn't make much sense out of those, though.
2. Manually replacing the `forceencrypt` to `encryptable` then flash stock recovery and format data. Didn't work.
3. Formatting data right after TWRP is flashed. Didn't work either.
The maximum it works is for one time when I can connect the device to laptop to add some zips to it to flash. It doesn't make sense to wipe the data when it's the data only that we want to back!
My purpose is to make flashable zip (nandroid) to revert to if anything goes wrong. It was phone's wifi frequent disconnection (or connected but no internet) issue which forced me to try root. I'm not much interested in new ROMs and am fine with stock itself but need a backup of all apps with data etc. Also, I couldn't understand clearly the FAQ on TWRP website that says TWRP doesn't backup internal storage but backup data. As I don't use SdCard, the internal storage is mounted in /sdcard folder only
I'll really appreciate if someone can help me.
Thanks
Found solution from a helpful guy in a Telegram group.
1. Use ONLY attached zip/img files and follow exact same order.
2. Flash TWRP, reboot to recovery
3. In Wipe section, choose Format data, type YES and confirm. Reboot to recovery again.
4. Flash DM-Verity-ForceEncrypt.zip file. Flash Magisk.zip file. Reboot to recovery.
5. (Optional) Make a backup if you want or Reboot to system. Done!
