There is a problem with decrypting devices formatted with may ASB, I see about it. You could go f2fs or setup rom on April build and upgrade to new one for now.
Edit:// should be fixed here: https://github.com/xiaomi-msm8998/twrp_device_xiaomi_sagit/releases/tag/3.3.1
I am currently on LineageOS 15 (8.1), and using TWRP 3.2.3. Everything works OK.
But if I try to boot into latest 3.3.1 (both with SAR and without) it doesn't request pattern for decrypting data, and I can't figure out how to force it to.
Without decrypt it shows /sdcard and /data/data as garbage...
Hi @NeoArian, it seems that at least your latest TWRP-sar version has issues with mounting external usb storages: at least my sandisk 64GB key that I always used to save nandroids to is not detected, thus I have to rely on internal memory to save nandroids, fw, and user data.
Using TWRP version 3.2.3-sagit-shev.img I have no issues (but unfortunately no support for your lineageos unofficial builds if I'm not mistaken).
Am I doing something wrong? Do you have any suggestions?

I thought it was some codes in twrp that cause the problem.
If I use 3.3.1.0 everything works fine. but it won't decrypt my data even I had no pattern for lock screen with 3.3.1.2.

This version TWRP have arch bug.
This version TWRP can not install the right latest OpenGapps. It will back error 64 and ask user install arm version gapps not the arm64 version.
The details can visit here https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1070

Hi, I'm running twrp 3.3.1-20191204 with your Lineage 17 very happily thanks!
For the last couple of lineage installs though (2019-12-24 and 2020-01-08) I'm getting a failure in twrp when running a backup, on data partition specifically:
createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
recovery.log is far more helpful:
Code:

Error creating backup.
I:ERROR tarList for thread ID 0
Error creating backup.
There's an (empty) folder '/data/per_boot' which seems to be breaking the backup process. I'm not sure if it's lineage itself or one of my apps creating this dir, but if I manually delete it the backup works... then it gets recreated next boot.
A somewhat minor issue, in case it's either easy enough to fix and/or other's run into the same problem!
I assume this twrp version use for flashing gsi. Am I correct?
This is a TWRP fully Treble-ready with "Treble enabler" option in order to repartition safely the device.
Features:
TWRP fully Treble-ready;
Maintained with latest TWRP version;
Fully compatible with non-Treble devices - can be used as normal without Treble partitioning;
USB-OTG fixed
Has 'TWRP survival' function for automatically re-installing TWRP recovery when installing ROMs and kernels;
Adds a "Treble enabler" option that allows you to repartition your device in order to support Treble.
Has the option to shrink userdata to create Vendor partitions. All relevant partitions will be resized and formatted in one go.
If you shrink Userdata, it will ERASE DATA AND INTERNAL STORAGE COMPLETELY - but your device will stay compatible with all existing non-Treble ROM's
Instructions
Flash the recovery.
Reboot Recovery
Optional - Use the "Advanced > Treble enabler" option for repartition option.
If you opted to repartition for Treble, you are ready to flash a Treble ROM/Vendor pack.
About TWRP survival
TWRP survival is a simple hook that detects if a boot.img will be installed and restores TWRP after it's flashed. This only works if you have booted TWRP with Tissot Manager 2.0 from a real recovery boot - NOT from a recovery 'hot boot' (fastboot boot method).
You will see in the install log if a TWRP survival attempt is successful in the flash text output.
Automatic TWRP survival works when:
Flashing a ROM ZIP (or AIO) with TWRP
Flashing a boot.img in TWRP "Install Image" mode
Automatic TWRP survival does NOT work when:
Flashing a boot.img via fastboot
Restoring boot in a TWRP backup
Any other way of flashing a boot.img
In these cases, be sure the use the TWRP Installer immediately after flashing or restoring a backup - otherwise you may get the device into a confused state (especially if you restore a non-TWRP boot then try to install an AIO ROM without installing a new TWRP first).

FAQ
Q) After I flash TWRP, I get kicked into fastboot when trying to boot the ROM!
A) Your kernel is not Treble-compatible.
Q) How do I update TWRP?
A) Just flash the ZIP installer again, then Reboot Recovery. Note that this will erase Magisk on BOTH slots if you have it installed to either, requiring you to reflash it to one/both slots. See my Treble guide FAQ section for more info on Magisk interaction.
Q) My PC can't see the MTP (storage) device from TWRP!
A) For dualboot compatibility, MTP is automatically disabled at various points. Just enable it manually in the Mounts menu to get access.
Q) If I shrink Userdata for Treble, will stock and OTA work?
A) I have heard varying results on this. It does for some, not for others. Please assume that this will NOT work.
Q) Can I restore a non-Treble TWRP backup after I repartition for Treble? And the other way around?
A) Yes!
Q) I see "Failed to mount '/system' (Device or resource busy)" red error in TWRP after flashing a ROM
A) You can safely ignore it. You just need to reboot recovery before you can flash anything else (like Gapps) to this ROM.

But then I see no difference from a "normal" ROM ported specifically to a device. Should not Treble support be able to use them on several different devices?
For example, should not I be able to go to the AEX Treble download area and use it on ZF3? If it would not be the same as having to wait for a dev port AEX to ZF3.
I'm really confused lol

What do you expect? It's still in an early stage of porting. Some device specific bits still run from /system. GSI's may work but I doubt anything will work properly.
And I don't plan of supporting GSIs anyway.

Being sincere I did not expect anything, since I did not understand anything lol This Treble left me was confused lol
So what's the difference of the Lineage Treble for a Lineage normal running in ZF3?

Currently nothing much ( updated proprietary bits + vendor image taken in place )
Maybe in the near future when everything is in place. I'll seperate Vendor image from builds ( noticable smaller updates )

Also, when vendor img will be split from the ota package, with (if necessary) some adjustments we can flash GSI ROMs easily.

Well, repartition works fine. After repartition a new /vendor partition of 1024mb will be made.
Although, you'll loose your data (apps+personal). So make sure to do a full backup of your device.
Feedback:
* HAVE A BACKUP. This tool messes with your partition table and is still unstable. Your data partition can be resized to the wrong size.
Will come back after a few months to provide more feedback. Appreciate the work guys.
Works fine for me, data is correctly resized even with multiple changes from normal to treble and back...
Can't seem to wipe /cache partition.
Anyone knows why?

Well, that's normal.
Since you're going to make a new /vendor partition of about 1024mb, /data should be deleted & recreated in order to give some space to the new partition.
Also, what do you mean with "can be resized to the wrong size"?
The tool is pretty stable tho. Can you give more info such as model (ex. ZE552KL 4/64), script version (ex. 4.3b) & other?
Thanks.
I've successfully installed this tool, although attempting to install the new LOS 16 Android 9 ROM we have on this forum results in an error: 7, "Failed to mount '/vendor' (Invalid argument)"
From what I've perused so far in my research, that error mostly crops up on non-treble builds of TWRP, yet I definitely used the latest version from your website. I also redownloaded the latest version of LOS just to recheck, and yep, nothing's changed.
Any clue about what's going on here? I don't know much about Treble ROMs, or custom ROMing to be all honest.
EDIT: I have found the enable Treble option. Even when enabled and installed, after reboot, the /vendor partition cannot be read. It seems that after doing this too, I can't load files over USB, or mount my SD Card. I'm getting pretty confused as to what's happening. I can't boot into system, and fastboot won't connect to my PC.

[GUIDE] STEPS TO FLASH GSI ON REDMI NOTE 7 [lavender]
Many of us tried Flashing GSI on our Redmi Note 7 but failed due to various reasons even though it is absolutely bugless for Redmi Note 7 .
Here are the steps which i will mention below that will let us use the full potential of GSI.
Requirements :
Bootloader Unlocked
TWRP Installed
Ofcourse a working device
Installation Method :
First of all we need the flash the latest chinese beta rom.It gets updated everyweek. Since I have the cn rn7 i prefer to update the vendor partition everyweek for fixes and latest updates.But you can try on your stable rom too (I can't gurantee if things will work out on stable rom or not) .So, first of all be on china beta rom.
Go to fastboot mode and connect your pc to your device .You need to have installed xiaomi drivers to make this work properly. Once you are in fastboot ,open a terminal/cmd and type : fastboot -w ( this will erase your existing system partition and data and internal storage too , so make sure to have a backup if you have something essential on ur device)
Now considering that we have already downloaded a gsi i.e a phh GSI ..now for this case we are gonna assume its aosp as an example.. while in the fastboot mode type : fastboot flash system system.img ( here system.img(it can be of different name too) is the gsi img which you download from phh thread).
Remember : once the flash is completerd reboot to TWRP and not to system.
Once you are in twrp , flash magisk ( flash magisk latest canary as it has support for system as root devices) then press on wipe button of twrp,,,then advanced wipe..then tick mark on system and you will see repair or change file system option.Click on it..Click on repair and resize file system.
Now go to mount settings and mount system partition. Now you can flash gapps if you want .
After flashing gapps finally reboot to system
Voila! After in about 5 mins you will be booted to GSI rom
Post Installation Method :
You will have almost everything working after booting into gsi except you will run into brightness bug which you can fix by the following way
Connect your device with pc and enable mass storage
open a cmd/terminal on ur pc
type the following codes : adb shell
su ( in this case you will have to give permission from your device ; grant it)
setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness 4095
Congragulations Now you have installed a gsi perfectly on your device
In this way you can flash almost all the gsi available on phh thread Hope this clarifies all of our problems.
Hit Thanks if I helped you somehow with this

Make sure you have allowed modifications on system partition and also you dont have system as read only.
Does fingerprint working on GSI?
what is gsi?
I don't know much but gsi means u can flash almost all roms (which have images). And most of ROMs do have gsi images.. So u can install any rom on your phone. I don't know the steps to do so.. ?

I have no experience with GSI images, but I know in general that PIE breaks the encryption, if you roll back the security patch level. I don't know it this happened in your case, but I have lost couple of times my encrypted storage when I have tried to restore a backup of rom with older android patch level. After that, the bootup encryption pin is no longer accepted, neither by android nor by twrp, so the only option is to format data to remove encryption and start from scratch.
Were your miui beta and rr gsi of the same android security patch level?

Hi!
Did you not disable dm-verity and force-encryption?
Another question, the dev MIUI roms contain both the system and vendor partitions, right? How do you install only the vendor partitions from them? Or do you just flash MIUI and then reflash the custom ROM system? In that case, won't that affect dm-verity and encryption on the data partition?
Flashing correctly a GSI like in this guide; with vendor ecc ecc, will gcam work? Actually i'm on stock MIUI 10 and obv all working fine with a perfect version. My doubt is it.

I've found information about flashing GSI's on this phone to be fragmented so here's a collection of resources that have worked for me.
If you have any suggestions or issues with popular GSI ROMs, drop them here and I'll do my best to update the thread.
Note: This guide is for users who have already flashed custom ROMs (not necessarily GSI) to their phone. If you're new to this or are coming from any MIUI ROM, please see other tutorials.

GSI Installation
1. Flash TWRP
The current latest version (as of the time of writing v3.3.0) supports for flashing GSIs.
2. Update firmware (optional)
I'm currently using the latest global firmware (as of time of writing v10.2.2.0) which seems to work fine. Download the zip from xiaomifirmwareupdater and flash in TWRP.
3. Flash treble BOOT and VENDOR partitions
Download the below image files (source).
boot.img
vendor.img
Install the images by using the following command or optionally using TWRP.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
4. Flash your GSI ROM
Pick a GSI from the Treble forum and be sure to download an ARM64 and A-Only variant. If the downloaded file is an archive (not an *.img file) you will need to extract the contents.
Go into TWRP
Copy the GSI image to your phone
Wipe "Dalvic/ART Cache", "Cache", "System" and "Data" paritions
Install the GSI image to the System Partition (Install -> Install Image -> yourimagefile.img - System Image)
Reboot back into TWRP
Resize the system partition (Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check System -> partition options -> Resize FS)
Install Magisk & OpenGapps (both optional)

Has someone tried oui ??
Great guide! Thanks a lot, your way was the only way I could get a treble rom working on the device! I wasn't able to flash the vendor in fastboot coming from miui 10.2.2.0, but it worked from twrp. Now got Havoc booted successfully

If you want to use it, try it out. There's no reason it shouldn't work ?

Not with Efran's gsi's but I've tried a few times on other 10's and had no luck on my end. I Used the 10 gsi Aonly 64 bit and I've formatted data and decrypted using Zach's force encrypt removal zip and magisk su zip and I've tried without removing encryption and no luck. It hangs on mi boot logo every time. I saw a DerpFest gsi on telegram that's when this whole gsi mission began for me. lol. Maybe we need a different boot.img and vendor.img for 10 idk? ? I tried with and without flashing the boot and vendor, decrypt and not decrypt and no go. ?
Sent from my moto g(7) power using XDA Labs
I booted RR v7.03 from Luke's GSI thread using vendor and boot in op but tried a few more 10 GSIs and they either hang on mi screen or bootloop forever. This RR is bad ass!! V7.03 wasn't made for Chiron and blows 7.02 off the map. Although security patch is from November 2019 I'm going to rock it a while. Sure will miss RR now that main dev stopped. Talk about a bad ass ROM!!! If anyone wants to use it its here. Just click the top link and you'll see the A only 64

FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING CAREFULLY.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, ASK IN THE COMMENTS BELOW OR IN THE TELEGRAM GROUP FOR HELP. OTHERWISE, DON'T BLAME ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF
Bugs
-Userdata decryption is not working. You can flash multi disabler (check this before flashing) to disable encryption or use an external SD or USB OTG for putting ZIPs and IMGs on it in order to flash them
- Data backup is not working due to device encryption
How to Install
0. READ F.A.Q section first here
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. Boot to Odin mode
3. Check AP box and select TWRP tar file
4. Hit start
5. Reboot to TWRP and flash multi disabler if you want (check this before flashing it)
6. Have fun
Download
TWRP 3.5.1_10 - Beta 2
Multi Disabler
Sources
TWRP device tree
Kernel source
Change Log:
Beta 2 - 24th of March 2021
- Update to latest kernel 4.14.190
- Fix MTP on the latest kernel
- Clean up dynamic partitions
- Released kernel 4.14.190 source
Beta 1 - 20th of March 2021
- Initial Release
F.A.Q:
What is data encryption and why doesn't it work on TWRP?
Samsung M51 uses file-based encryption that encrypts the user data partition.
By default, TWRP can't decrypt user data partition, which makes it impossible for us to access the internal device storage from TWRP or recovery MTP, which means you can't put ROM files on your internal phone storage and flash them from there.
What is Multi disabler and how does it affect your phone?
- Multi disabler disables and removes the encryption on the data partition, which makes it possible for you to access your internal storage from TWRP or recovery MTP. thus, making it possible for you to flash files from internal storage.
- Removing the encryption on your device's internal storage makes it possible for you to access your files from recovery directly, which makes it possible for anyone to access your private files without your permission from recovery.
- All of the above means that your device will be less secure. So if you care about device encryption then don't flash the multi disabler and use a USB OTG or a sdcard to flash ROMs, which I recommend. Otherwise, flash the multi disabler at your own risk!!!
- FLASHINF MULTI DISABLER REQUIRES PERFORMING A FULL DATA WIPE WHICH MEANS YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA. SO BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE FLASHING IT.
My device keeps rebooting to recovery after flashing TWRP, why?
Most probably you will need to wipe your data partition and flash multidisabler
Data backup is not working even after flashing multidisabller, why?
Current multidisabler still can't fully disable FBE encryption, which means that TWRP can't read data partition at all, hence creating backups will always fail.
Reserved just in case
Thank you so much for your efforts,
Does backup, restore, work smoothly in this version of twrp? Does it fully restore after making a backup? Or are there still mistakes?
In Twrp 3.4.0 Data backup is not loading. Nonoperating. But the system is loading.
Oh, thank you, thank you.

Currently I have no working ROM so I can't test back and restore functionality. But backing data should be working.. don't take that for granted tho..
It would be great if you can test that and report if it's working or not, or wait until I or someone else test that.
thank you for your efforts. i installed this twrp and flashed mutlidisabler. also formatted data before reboot. Unfortunately twrp does not allow to create backups. Cannot unmount system partition etc...Your android 10 TWRP version is creating and restoring backups allright. So for now have to continue using android 10!

backups will not work because of device encryption. Even after flashing mutldisabler, the device will keep encrypting the data.

Do you think that Magisk prerooting prior to TWRP flash might help here?
Or maybe we should just for full official Android 11 twrp release...
TeamWin updates TWRP to 3.5.1, Android 11 support coming soon
They're calling it a 'mini release' with a few notable feature improvements

Fyi -i have spare m51 device with android 11 installed. Ready to use it for any kind of twrp test builds. This is a good phone and we must have twrp for android 11 developed here. Thanks

prerooting won't solve encryption issues. Maybe when TWRP can be build using android 11, we can fix encryption issues or at least partially fix it.

Did you even read the FAQ section?
anyways, backups will fail because of data encryption
Does this TWRP require to format data after installing without Multi disabler?

Nope, but you may need to install multidisabler to prevent the phone from reverting back to stock recovery. Don't formate the data after flashing Multidisabler and see if the phone boots or not

well i already tested that twrp build and it does not allow to create backup (which is the main reason i need twrp to start with). i will test your lineage roms no problem. Do you think that twrp will work properly with lineage 18?
