I'm able to use backup & restore in Android 11 custom or miui rom. but unable to use it when i flashed android 12 roms.
Can anyone walk me through how to fix this.
Did the ff workaround in youtube as well in any similar post but still not working.
1. Advance wipe > click data >Repair or Change File System > Change File System to EXT2 & EXT4
2. Format data
This process is temporarily working the internal storage is visible, but after booting to system and go back to twrp recovery, the internal storage appears 0mb again.
I flashed stock rom/ eu rom as well in TWRP as i read this is worked with them. but not on my end.
Kindly help me to solve this issue please.
TWRP is not yet compatible with Android 12, it can't decrypt the internal storage. You can't fix it until TWRP (or some other recovery) solves Android 12 support.
I think in theory you might be able to back up the ROM to an unencrypted storage like an SD Card or OTG USB drive, but I'm not sure (and I'm even less sure if such backup could even be successfully restored if you back the partition up without decrypting).
Use otg usb

In my opinion it's only possible to backup encrypted storage as in A12 if you flash DfE but then you'll have to format and later you're decrypted and in future you can backup via TWRP.
But you can copy actual personal files with a file manager, if android is booted up, to external storages or internal micro SD. android internal app data can't copied.

You can install cutom roms, flash magisk, kernel and other stuff. The memory is only encrypted, the rest works perfectly fine. Have you checked on the latest recovery?
A new kernel was flashed an hour ago. I have made a backup of the boot and dtbo images. It really works
Not checked to backup complete rom, but suppose it's possible with otg

I guess (I was in fact asking about exactly this in another thread recently), but then if the install script tries to modify the data partition in any way (which remains encrypted with current recoveries under Android 12), you're almost certainly screwed and at best the installation will fail, at worst you'll have to reinstall everything.

How to flash a Android 12 ROM without decryption problem?
I've been struggling to flash Android 12 without my internal storage to be unaccessible by TWRP... I simply can't decrypt my data and the only way to fix it is to format data and revert back to a Android 11 ROM. Did anyone manage to flash Android...

Previously I had a Redmi note 7. On the encrypted partition, I could also install everything in the same way. I am not a specialist, my knowledge has ended here.

My curiosity got me in to trouble again.
I wanted to try miui 11 so I flashed the while I backed up my pie rom with twrp. All was good until I restored my backup. Now my internal storage is encrypted without a way to decrypt it in twrp or miui 11. Is there a way to decrypt my storage or should I just take my loss?

As i understand data format, will remove the encryption. But before you must copy your backup to external storage, never tried it but in TWRP you have a file manager, if it can work with otg, you can do it.
Good Morning, I want to upgrade brother device to new version of android (because he can`t install security updates for unknow reasons), but I affraid that he loose all apps and settings (he is a firefighter and have app from firefighter station which signals dangerous traffic etc.) So my question is can I update downloaded stock ROM via TWRP (adb sideload) without fears that he loose everything?

The only thing that will take your fear, is a backup of all important partitions (boot, system, data, vendor, efs, persist), stored externally, plus a copy of the internal storage content, also stored externally.
With that you should be able to restore everything to the exact point it is at right now, so you'll really need to mess up hard to not come out of basically any situation with those partitions saved.
As for your inital question:
Why don't you just update via ota if you wanna stay on stock?

Okay, so maybe first copying internal storage content to your PC and backup important apps would be sufficient then.
For apps you can use Titanium Backup (good, but makes troubles on android 10 at the moment), Swift Backup (recommend by many others) and more.
These backup solutions save apps and app data on your phone, so copy that to an external place, or you might lose them if you need to format data (which I'll suggest).
After your "backups" are made, I would wipe every partition in each slot, which you can also achieve with a "fastboot -w", and then also format data - the one where you need to type "yes" (which will also erase all internal storage content, but most probably will also solve your troubles).
From here there are tools like miflash or fastboot images to reflash stock (inform yourself about them, before you start all that!).
Be sure to flash the latest one right away, so you won't be in the need of "dirty" updates immediately again.
Afterwards, you can copy back the internal storage content and the folder of the backup app, and restore the previously saved apps.

I tried MiFlash, but without wipe anything, and it don`t upgrade version of system
But if I must, flash 2 slots A/B using MiFlash or one slot (A) is for system?
You can just download the zip file with version u want from the site below and flash it via TWRP making cache and dalvik cache wipes and changing slots at the end.

In october I updated mine this way but forgot to change the slot before rebooting to the system and realized that was in the old Android version. I just went to TWRP again and changed slot. After rebooting, the phone was in the updated Android One.

Hi, I have a question and hoping that maybe someone here might be able to help me.
I'm not a developer or anything like that and my knowledge is rather basic.
I truly tried my best reading, tutorials, forums, etc. and trying over and over again for many hours.
So the problem is this:
After new installation of arrowsOS and orange fox recovery on redmi note 10pro, recovery can't read/mount data or internal sd card.
Formating data or changing filesystem fixes this temporarily. Data now shows a size rather than 0mb and becomes mountable.
But unless the filesystem is f2fs (like ext4 or anything else) ROM won't boot. Goes straight back into recovery.
If I choose f2fs (readable by recovery after format), arrowsOS will boot again, but also will encrypt the partition somehow and the problem persists.
Next time I boot into recovery data, storage and sdcard are empty, data can't be mounted and is shown with 0mb size.
In orange fox telegram group I was informed that Android 12 is not supported nor will be any time soonish and I should get off their chat... but I tried twrp before and that didn't work either.
I'd really love to get this fixed before installing lots of apps onto the phone again. Because afterwards having to wipe and set up everything again will be a pain.
So does anyone here have any idea for me how to solve this?
Best regards
Eric

Switch to A11 ROM or wait. There's no recovery capable of decrypting anything based on Android 12 right now

If you wanna stay decrypted like me, you can flash DFE....
Then no more issues with internal memory.....
If you use orange fox, then you can set a recovery password and have a bit more security.

OK thanx, so I see what's the problem.
If it's like this I'm thinking about just waiting it out. Cause I kinda started liking this rom
Do you recon that once an updated recovery comes out it will be able to read it just like that?
Or would I have to wipe/format data again?
Because in first case I could just consider living with the fact that my recovery doesn't work so well for now, knowing that earlier or later an updated version of recovery comes out and by flashing it my problem should be fixed.
But if I'd had to wipe/reformat or repartition /data again in order to make it work (whenever it can). it'd be a game changer.
Because the longer I use the phone the more apps and personal stuff will be on there

What's DFE?.....sorry just a newbie
If I flash that, would my data partitionstay decrypted forever or would there be a way to encrypt it later (once recoveries evolve) without loosing the data on it?

Okay, so thanks to the help of you guys I finally managed to root my phone. Now I want to install Arrow OS on it but before that want to take a nandroid backup. Unfortunately, it shows 0mb internal storage and some error like "Unable to mount /data". !!Not sure if this is the perfect error!! but it's close to this.
I've read how to fix this, by changing the type of filesystem to Ex2 then back to Ex4. But,
1. Is this the way to do it?
2. Will It delete all my data, and/or Custom ROM (ie, will I have to perform the android first time setup again). If yes, is there any other way?
And no, I haven't kept any lock on my device.
Some questions may be extremely basic but I'm completely new and would like to confirm things before regretting them later!
Thanks!

Yes, it shows 0mb internal storage because is encrypted, twrp, orange fox cannot deal with android 12 to decrypt.
Changing the type of filesystem to Ex2 then back to Ex4 will delete your files.
So, the only way to do a nandroid backup is to decrypt first, but even so you'll loose all your files because you must format data

Hi folks,
So, i'm still on the Stock MIUI 12.5.7 (Android 11).
Before upgrading, i just wanted to check out if TRWP works correctly, so i flashed the most recent official version...and to my surprise, it could _not_ decrypt the internal storage?
Also, in the Backup menu, the EFS and modem partitions have correct sizes, but the dynamic Super partiton is shown as ( 0 MB).
I thought there would be no more issues with such old ROMs...or maybe I'm missing something?
UPDATE:
After wiping data and resetting the phone, TWRP managed to mount the internal storage, as long as there's no PIN on it.
As soon as i enter a PIN in Android, the same PIN entered in TWRP fails to decrypt the internal storage.

Sounds like you need an OS reinstall preceded by data format, not wipe, to remove encryption. There is a Nebrassy 3.6 version that decrypts for A11.

Well, now that i have done a "format data" it works with TWRP, as well.
I moved to a xiaomi.eu rom, and everthing works fine, so far.
Also note that TWRP seems to always get replaced by the stock recovery when on a stock rom from Xiaomi.
