twrp has a bug and cant decrypt your data. before using twrp please format your userdata partition in fastboot by using this command: fastboot format userdata

I have the same issue, it asks me for a password when accessing TWRP because it couldn't decrypt. I've tried both the command above (fastboot format userdata & format data from TWRP directly) and I can access TWRP but when I restart the phone, I have boot loop on the loading screen.
If I don't use the command, and restart the phone directly (not going into TWRP first), the flashed recovery is automatically replaced with the MIUI recovery.
Anyone managed to actually boot the phone with the TWRP recovery installed with no decrypt error?
Thanks

What did you install afterwards? did you clean install xiaomi.eu from twrp or updated china rom?

Hi,
I didn't install xiaomi.eu afterwards neither updated the china rom. I'm using china rom (I live in China so there's some stuff on the chinese rom I can use and the updates are more swift), but it's the latest chinese miui rom with the update that came out a few days ago. I had the mi max 2 before and never had to update or re-install a rom after flashing TWRP. With the mi max 2 there were no issues after flashing TWRP in fastboot and then go to TWRP and flash super su. Do you reckon if I flash TWRP then flash the china rom through TWRP it won't give a boot loop (won't it re-write the TWRP bootloader with the miui one?)? If so, should I run the erase data command from fastboot or erase the data partition on TWRP recovery?
There's also a zip file to be installed in TWRP to avoid boot loop (can't recall the name right now), but didn't work either.
If someone has any ideas I'm willing to try on my end to figure this out
Thanks

Flashed TWRP again, did a userdata format from fastboot, then went to the recovery, deleted dalvik/cache and re-installed China ROM... Still stuck on boot loop.
same for me......... please help
Come on! Guys!
It is so simple to bypass this Internal Storage(0MB) problem on official China rom (Stable and Beta) of TWRP!
DO NOT use the "Install" option in TWRP to install Magisk.zip/Superusr.zip as TWRP cannot read your Internal Storage at all!
Just activate the adb sideload in TWRP and use the adb sideload command on your PC to push the magisk.zip/Superusr.zip or any zippies into your internal storage especially so if you are rooting the official China rom!
After that. Reboot to system from TWRP and Bingo! Your official China rom/MIUI pops up nicely in no time! :fingers-crossed:
...and the best part of it. You don't need to format data at all! All your data remained intact!!!
I'm running the official China rom 9.6.11.0 with Magisk 16.0 now! All work perfectly including the ever-most-impoartant's Titanium backup! :fingers-crossed::victory:

Hi,it`s because your computer CPU is i5-8xxx or i7-8xxx
Try older CPU.

Boot Twrp or Redwolf using “fastboot boot XYZ.img”
Copy img to device then flash Image file of XYZ.img again from recovery.
Flash Lazyflasher Or Magisk
(twrp version >= 3.2.3-2)
I am Argentine and practically do not speak English, so I will use the translator and it will not be the most accurate.
I am one of the people who change the ROOM of my cell phone every week and until nothing, 1 month I almost get the "Error 7 updater" in TWRP when installing any ROOM AOSP, but in ROOMS xiaomi does not happen, I have seen videos on which said that I had to modify a text inside the room and others, which works and removes the error but at the time of using the device it does not work for me:
The flashlight, the camera, does not recognize the PC, has no audio and so on.
I can not find any way out of that error, and I'm a fan of pixel experience, I went back to Miui because I wanted to use the gestures they had a few days since I missed them when I had the buttons on the screen, but when I wanted to reinstall the pixel experience came out that error, and with any other room that is not MIUI, please the one that can help me I thank you :good:
You need to flash official twrp recovery. download recovery from https://dl.twrp.me/whyred/ and place it in you internal storage or sdcard et cetra and flash from your current recovery. I hope this will solve your problem.
But remember that the link i mentioned above is only for whyred (Note 5 Pro)
thanks your answer, but that does not solve the problem, in fact I already have installed the twrp 3.3.0.0

Were you on MIUI pie beta before trying the flashing?
PE is based on Oreo firmware, if you flash it when you have Pie firmware, error 7 will come up.

Assuming that you've unlocked the bootloader and properly installed ADB drivers:
Boot to fastboot
Type: fastboot boot X:/location_of_Offain_TWRP.img
Tap cancel
Go to wipe, then format data, then type yes, then enter.
Go back to the Wipe menu, Wipe Cache, Data, System, Internal storage
Go back to TWRP Menu
Flash the ROM you want to install
Flash the TWRP Installer
Then go to reboot menu
Change slot (A to B or B to A)
Then Reboot to Recovery
Then flash Force Encryption Disabler
Flash Magisk
Flash GApps
Then finally, reboot system.

Aosp android 11 or do you mean specific?
On my way to installing LineageOS I tried to downgrade Android version 11 -> 10. Unfortunately I used the WRONG INCOMPATIBLE firmware files from google's website (I think for 3 XL), that's why I have a brick now. ''Device is corrupt and no bootup possible.''
Access to Fastboot and STOCK Recovery Mode is possible.
Bootloader is Locked Now (it *was* unlocked before for flashing the firmware)
ADB is not working (since I'm getting stuck on ''google'' symbol when booting up I can't go to Developer Settings)
Factory Preset from Recovery Mode fails: ''can't send spi messages.'' Same Brick occurs.
With No Access to ADB (is it possible to set up from fastboot mode without enabling it in den Developer Options?) I can't try stuff.
And with the bootloader locked no way to flash a new Rom right?
I have NO IDEA what to do next, any IDEAS??
Thank you!!

Since you can get to recovery you should download the latest ota and sideload it from recovery.
https://developers.google.com/android/images
you should flash the stock image from recovery. Basically unzip it all and just run "flash-all.bat"

You need the BL unlocked to flash unsigned/unofficial images, so make sure yours is unlocked. That being said, I'm not sure how solid twrp is for our device, I've never tried it. Twrp was/is a little iffy for android 10 never mind 11. Most around here just use fastboot to do what needs to be done. Most of it is pretty quick and painless, and twrp is not really necessary.

I'm pretty sure you would have to downgrade to android 9 (pie) and install a custom kernel to get twrp to install. Unless you want to rock android pie - like I currently am (Bootlegger's 9 - I like my smartbar customizations) - it's best to give up on TWRP and just use fastboot commands for android 10 and up.
If you do decide to downgrade to pie the elementalX kernel (ElementalX-P3a-1.06) works fine with twrp and is available on their site. Temp boot twrp via fastboot, flash kernel, flash twrp zip file, reboot to recovery and flash magisk zip for root (if you want root). But it may be hard to find older pie ROMs out in the wild to flash since devs have dropped support and will be focused on android 10/11.

Unlike most of the LineageOS Tutorials out there is used the Custom Recovery from Lineage to install LIneageOS! It was super easy, a few ADB commands and here it is. No Root, no TWRP whatsoever.
Follow wiki lineageos devices website instructions. Here you may also find the recovery data.
Thx guys/girls!

BUT I still cannot install TWRP Recovery on LineageOS 17. I am getting the same problem as quoted below.

Twrp doesn't work very well on android 10 and above, there is a twrp install guide around here, but not much has come from it. When was the last time anyone actually made and used a nandroid backup? Not that backups aren't important, but that's a little antiquated. Besides, most are really trying to backup data, which is a shared partition on A/B devices. Generally, restoring data on A/B devices causes more problems than anything. Most data backups can be done with an app and/or making a backup of your internal storage. As for more sensitive things like your persist partition and whatnot, you can always use the 'dd' command to back those partitions up.
I should clarify, restoring nand backups of data causes more problems on A/B devices, apps that restore data and settings tend to handle it better.
Now having a different problem
I tried to install Magisk following this guide https://magisk.download/root-pixel-3a-3a-xl/
When I try to flash magisk_patched.img in fastboot, it flashes, but reboots to fastboot with "error boot prepare" displayed.
I am stuck in Fastboot now.
How can I get out of that?
I used the boot.img from the google firmware android 10 I built Lineage on. Should I use a boot.img from LineageOS .zip? Is there anything like this?
What is dm-verity?
Can I get to my previous unrooted device?
I have a Pixel 3aXL with LineageOS 17

Where is the boot.img from Lineage? There is no such file in the Lineage folder I downloaded.

A lot of devs wil upload the boot.img separately when they upload the rom, so wherever you downloaded Los from check there. If you just have a payload.bin file in your zip, you can always dump it and grab the boot.img there. You could always just reflash Los period to get boot back, then us 'dd' command to backup your own boot.img.
custom recovery for lineageos 17 based on android 10?

I'm pretty sure you would have to downgrade to android 9 (pie) and install a custom kernel to get twrp to install. Unless you want to rock android pie - like I currently am (Bootlegger's 9 - I like my smartbar customizations) - it's best to give up on TWRP and just use fastboot commands for android 10 and up.
If you do decide to downgrade to pie the elementalX kernel (ElementalX-P3a-1.06) works fine with twrp and is available on their site. Temp boot twrp via fastboot, flash kernel, flash twrp zip file, reboot to recovery and flash magisk zip for root (if you want root). But it may be hard to find older pie ROMs out in the wild to flash since devs have dropped support and will be focused on android 10/11.

thanks!
I got Lineage 17 w/ Magisk root running now and want to perform a full NANDroid Backup.
After some research it seems crucial to have a custom recovery like TWRP for that. There is the online nandroid thing - but I would need CWM or anything like this to restore?!
So my question is
a) is there another custom recovery (compatible with Pixel 3a XL w/ lineage 17 based on android 10) I can install and perform Nandroid backup with?
b) any other solution to perform this backup and restore? I heard there are cmd commands for that as well , but I'm a noobie not so sure to do that.
of course there are several apps out there to backup data.. but I don't trust ''any'' app to get root permission. In F Droid I couldn't find what I was looking for.
thank you for help!
