Twrp Helium Unlocked Boot loader - Xiaomi Mi Max Questions & Answers

Hi there I have an officially unlock Mi Max Helium 128gig which had TWRP installed and I have been trying many roms without a problem, but I have noticed that no matter what rom I have installed on my phone twrp always sees the /system partiition as empty does anyone know why this is? All roms boot just fine though. I installed twrp while I drill had a locked boot loader maybe there's another version for unlocked boot loader or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Kyle

Hello. I resolved this issue by flashing the stock ROM (ZIP) within TWRP after formatting the /userdata and /system partitions using fastboot. Apparently, these partitions are encrypted.

Lost Root!! Please Help.

Hello.
I was on OxygenOS v3.2.4 before flashing FreedomOS v1.6-CE. I made a clean flash. The device booted up fine although various mods(audio mods,multi-window etc) that i selected in the aroma installer were missing. After booting up,i realised that my root as well as my recovery were missing. Any kind of help will be appreciated. Please look into this matter guys.
Thanks.
Just get into fastboot and flash twrp from there, as you did originally... And freedom is is boring, get yourself slim6 or dirty unicorns
Fastboot TWRP then reboot in TWRP and install Supersu.

unable to mount storage? does it ask for a password? was your device encrypted?

Yes,my device was encrypted but it didn't ask for any password. I restored a backup i had but it doesn't allow me to change the encryption in the security settings.

Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot

Hi Friends
pleas help , i wanted install Oreo so i went to lock boat-loader by TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE
and i didnt see the alert message and above message appeared "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot"
so please advise
If you alter the system in any way you can't lock the bootloader as it will not boot due to possible safety issues by modying the system. In order to use the device with a locked bootloader, you need to flash the original OS.
If you want to use a modified system, keep the bootloader unlocked. Unfortunately, there is no other way.
how can i flash rom please help

It would be helpful to know what you want to flash.
Is it OxygenOS?
Then flash it in e.g. TWRP and then lock the bootloader again.
Is it something else?
Keep the bootloader unlocked.

Is it OxygenOS?
yes it is
Did you modify it in any way? Root, Magisk, Xposed, Recovery, flashable ZIPs or anything else?
yes, the problem i used tool "TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE" to lock boat-loader
Use "fastboot flashing unlock" to unlock it again, install TWRP, use adb push to copy OxygenOS to it, flash OxygenOS, use "fastboot flashing lock" and it should work just fine again.
not allow to me to unlock again

I assume this is due to "Allow OEM Unlock" not being enabled. I don't know if anyone has a workaround.
Otherwise, I suggest contacting OnePlus and getting support by an L2 technician.

They keep their tools private. So unless you back them up during the session in the background and use a keylogger to get the password, you will never get your hands on the tools. No one does.
But you can contact them again at any time and they will assist you so just don't do this again and you should be fine
this could be avoided if we had fastboot images of OxygenOS..
you can flash any image from fastboot, even if it's locked.

I also faced similar problem yesterday & following steps worked for me
1. I unlocked the bootloader
2. Flashed TWRP & wiped everything (system data cache, internal) I wiped internal because I was seeing random folders in my internal, you can skip it while trying first time but if it doesn't work. Try again with wiping internal.
3.I flashed stock recovery via fastboot.
4. ADB side loaded oxygen OS (any version) using stock recovery.
I side loaded rom because I was unable to select file from stock recovery option "install from internal"
*don't boot now*
5. Reset everything from stock recovery option and then boot it.
I haven't tried to lock bootloader again but it should lock if you try now without rooting it again (⅛)
(⅛) I think the problem was that I mistakenly tried to lock bootloader with magisk installed which made this issue.
(That's what I was able to notice)
Please report back if this was the case for you too.

FIXED: Recovery lost after broken TWRP flash

Hi,
I hope out there is someone with a deep D855 knowledge/experience to help.
My problem is as follows: Installed on my G3 D855 is a non rooted Lineage OS 14.1 and I've flashed a new TWRP version. Unfortunately the image download was corrupt and I didn't check the MD5 (yes I was stupid). Result is, the recovery is gone.
Did some one know if there is a way to get it reinstalled without loosing the system?

Yes I've tried this also today as final try and to my surprise it worked although I was under the impression that fastboot was somehow disabled by LG. But thank you confirming and I've a working twrp again.

also which one shall i download fastboot or recovery ?
If you want to flash it in recovery/twrp choose recovery one. If you want to flash it via fastboot from pc choose fastboot. It's obvious. Both will lock your bootloader after flash but they will boot normally.

4) my mi account has unlock permission so do i need to permission again because right now i am using custom rom to keep my phone alive.:crying:
these questions will raise to all if they did the same mistake some more questions but lets see these first
also thanks man you are wonderful helper
If you unlocked your BL once on this device there will be no waiting counter. It will unlock right away. Unless you unlocked it couple days ago. There is a limitation for one account to unlock one device in month. So you will be have to wait till one month pass or unlock with redmi 6pro toolkit like I did. It skipped this limitation somehow. Anyways did you wiped data before or after flashing custom rom? What rom have you flashed? Is it booting is it usable? If not. Try wiping data in advance wipe in twrp first to solve booting problems.

also when i flashed custom rom it shows installing unconditionally why
also the restore function is not working is it the twrp fault or the rom
it doesn't boot says boots on logo and then shows the boot animation waits for 5 min and boots twrp again automatically why???(when i try to restore the crdroid rom not to mentioned i tried flashing resurrection os but goes on boot loop )
When flashing custom ROM different from miui you should wipe dalvick, cache, data and system before flash. Then flash RR or something else gapps and boot.
Here's the toolkit If you need it

Flash the stock ROM
I know what happened
He flashed orangefox to boot but orange fox can't flash to boot because then you can't boot the os I had the same problem
You have to copy orange fox and original boot.img to your phone. Flash the original boot.img and then flash orangefox recovery ramdisk however I don't know because I only know how to install TWRP this way

Tell me exactly, so, I can help you.
When you unlocked bootloader, which other partitions you formatted? You said, you used "mtk", I assume you used ,mtk-client, and in the scripts of this tool, also is recommended to delete other partitions.
When you say, you flashed back the stock ROM, which method did you use?, which tool?, and what message you got from that tool, I mean, it was success, etc?
I recommend replacing Orange Fox with TWRP.
I just had this issue on a different Xiaomi phone. I replaced Orange Fox with TWRP and was able to flash LOS and fix the problem.

i flashed my stock rom after finally unlocking my phone after millions of tries with the "Unknown Error -1", i finally found a modified unlock tool that fixes it. still stuck on boot logo
if you want my unlock tool, this is the file (u can publish it wherever you want)
Oh... nevermind... I just installed MIUI 13.0.2 and it's back to its normal state (Just without the data because I wiped it a way before I unlocked the bootloader)

No, they unlocked the bootloader, as it said in the first post.
SPFT and mtk-client tools can flash even to locked devices.
