Hello,
Couple of months back I purchased a Mi Note 5 Pro (4GB/64GB) for my mother. Being a senior citizen, as expected, the phone ended up messed up (softwarely) within a month or so. I tried to clean things but found she fell victim to so much fishing that phone was running dead slow and full of bloatware !!
So went for a factory reset (bone stock MiUi Indian 9.5.xx) to start fresh and there was the surprise. Phone is stuck at setup screen as it is asking for Mi Account credential. My mother is unable to remember what she has done with this Mi Account thing so I am unable to enter any details.
I have tried to do a hard reset but there too the same.
How do I get around this issue ?
Anyway I can clean flash MiUi Firmware to erase this and bring the device back to normal ? I did some Searching and a third party website suggesting a very complicated solution for this same issue, here is the link, not sure if that is the right way to try.
Any help ?
Thanks.
Try formatting internal and then flash a rom.

Hello,
I don't know if any of you have seen this on a Note 7 since its still relatively new. Do any of you know why this mean?
Encryption Failed
Unable to start up you device. The encrypt precess was interrupted. you need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all your data.
(And a RESET DEVICE button) which does noting but reset the device to start back at this Encryption Failed screen...
Thanks
Have tried to factory reset the phone from recovery? If that doesn't work you probably have to flash ROM via Odin.

Just wondering how serious is this? Out of all the phones I've played around with for the last 7 years this is the first time I've see this. I'm $hitting bricks!
I would try to factory reset like it recommends. If that doesnt work then time to exchange the phone.
Good luck and let us know how it goes...
Also, did you try rooting?
Yes I rooted. Alright so I managed to resolve everything THANK GOD!! I thought I was down CAD $1200 (not including customs)... Main problem was I didnt mount the System in TWRP before formatting, so no matter how many times I tried to format and install the only custom ROM available it would show me that error. But all is well after getting the stock ROM from Samsung and formatting it trough Odin.
No OS installed. I have twrp installed. So literally when i turn it on it goes directly into recovery menu. Apparently I have no back up or restore point. This is a Sprint galaxy note 4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have been looking for a factory reset firmware somewhere online cant find one. Funny thing is my wife has the same exact phone. I thought making a back up and restore point for her phone would work on mine, but it didnt lol. Please I would be very grateful for help.
Hello, you could get the official software and use odin to get it back all the way to stock, or you can also just flash a custom rom since you already have twrp. To install a custom rom, all you need to do is download the rom and place it on a micro sd card, boot into twrp, and flash the rom from the micro sd.
Thank you for your reply how ever my trouble is finding an OS that works for my note 4 sprint device. I have downloaded dozens and dozens of different roms and so called " factory firmware" but seem to have no lucks. i have the recovery software installed twrp. when i go into there and try to load rom i still get error that says no os installed..
Thanks for the input i will close this thread now. my problem was not being patient at the bootload screen. I automatically assumed that something was wrong because it was stuck at the sprint spark yellow screen how ever little did i know a little bit of patients would have saved me numerous amounts of hours of research. Lost sleep, called off of work, and canceled weekend plans due to a little lack of patience. Well you live and you learn i really appreciate you taking time out to reply.
So I recently had the great idea to root my razer phone after a friend talked me into it, I get the root on but I can't get wifi to turn on, I spend a few hours trying a bunch of different methods to get it working but none of them work. I read magisk can cause an issue, so I delete that and someone says wipe the cache as well in twrp so I do that, switch my slot from b to a and the thing boots straight back to twrp after sitting on the first boot logo for a good 10 minutes. Try the other slot same issue except it boots straight to twrp. So I try and use my backup I made, low and behold its corrupt, at this point I go straight to ****.exe. I try literally everything I can think of and I can't get this thing to take a custom rom, not even a nexbit rom, or a one plus 5t rom. Anyone have any ideas? I've contacted razer and I asked them if there was some way they can fix this without me buying a new phone.

First of all, roms from other phones are not compatible with phones other than what it was designed for. If you tried others, that's why it won't boot up. Secondly, if you read all the posting about how do install twrp, it also said there wasn't any way back EXCEPT for your backups. Unfortunately there is no factory images for the Razer phone released as of yet. If you are unable to restore from your backup (or skipped the step and didn't create one) your only choice is to attempt to restore via the backups Xshooter726 made and posted, and if they don't work, you need to wait till the factory images are released and we don't know when they will be out other then a vague "soon" from a community manager on their forums.

If you're flashing roms for other Devices but now much experience do you have with flashing etc? Ignoring that fact unless backups from other devices work then youve no choice but to wait for razer to put up full factory images in January and flash those. Razer won't help you as you've voided your warranty.

I had a decent bit, we only tried to flash another rom after we couldnt find the stock image, it was a last ditch effort.

Well you're lucky none worked it could have made your problem a lot worse. When factory images release you can flash those if the backup doesn't work but until then you're out of luck unfortunately.
Side note if razer ask for imie etc don't give them it. Might be able to list the device as have being unlocked etc.
Hey! First of all thank you all for making this place as awesome as it is! It has helped me incountable times and saved me more than once!
Last night I was trying to root my Redmi Note 8 (ginkgo). Everything was fine. TWRP was working, and I was backing up boot.img to then use it with Magisk when I had the brilliant idea to back everything up in case I messed something up. Before backing up I decided to factory reset the phone so then I could post the stock ROM for people that DID mess it up.
Everything worked out well... Despite the fact that instead of doing a factory reset I completely wiped EVERY SINGLE PARTITION on it, even recovery, modem, everything.
Anyways, the only thing I have access to now is fastboot, which I think should be enough to recover it. I'm right now downloading the last Global Stable ROM I could find to see if I can recover it.
I can't post the URL but the version I found is "V11.0.8.0.PCOMIXM" (MIUI 11, Android 9.0).
My questions are:
Is there any newer stock ROM? Or someone that has posted it in XDADevs?
Does that ROM contain the whole system image? (I literally wiped EVERY partition)
I know I need to make sure that I keep the bootloader unlocked... Right?
Should I go with fastboot straight? Or better stick with Mi Flash Tool?
Is there anything else I should make sure I DO/DON'T?
Anyways, thank you all again for making this such a great place.
Regards!

PS: Xiaomi should really think again about the "the system is destroyed message". It DOES make it look a lot worse than it is hahaha
Happened to me as well... Downloaded stable fastboot, and used mi tool for install. I am now on official tomorrow and unlocked MIUI.
Since you wiped every single partition doesn't that mean you lost imei, wifi Mac adress etc. ?
I suggest you to flash full fastboot ROM. This devices uses SAR and don't wipe system next time.
Hi all,
I am hoping to get some help from you all. My son owns Redmi Nore 8 Pro 6/128 purchased from online mi shop here in UK (I have a proof of purchase if needed). Recently it started playing around with some apps and I decided to Factory Reset it. He created a mi account and of course forgot the password. Knowing little about Redmi's security measures I decided to wipe it from the recovery level (remembered some basic stuff from my time when I was flashing my Xperia Arc). Unfortunately the phone now boots into a lock screen on wehich I am stuck. Here is what I ahve tried:
1. Reset password on mi cloud, used the new password to unlocke the phone but the phone is not accepting it
2. Removed Note 8 Pro from mi cloud, wipe it again - still not accepting the password and showing the locked screen,
3. I used the recovery code on i.mi.com but I ahve note heard back from anyone for a wekk now.
Regards

You need to choose option 2 and connect your wifi. Then use option 1 to login your Xiaomi account.
If everything you did and nothing change, you can start thinking about using custom rom (Even if your device still in lock status, just need for more skill)
You can also buy/hire to bypass Mi Account from shop. But Miui version can't be change or update or reset,... Or else it will be locked again
You can skip the hassle and custom rom it just unlock the bootloader from mtk bootloader unlock flash a custom twrp recovery from fastboot and install a rom, much debloated than stock anyways. I recommend crdroid by timjosten if you still would like stock reply and maybe we can figure out a solution
