Can you give a try to nodded twrp and one more thing mount system before flashing any ROM.
Note: after decrypting if you want too boot into OOS you need to Flash SuperSU or otherwise the OOS will force encryption and that may create problem.

okay now after few trial and error method i have come to the conclusion that this happens only after unencrypting the device. after eunencrypting it wont boot any other roms except those which have been already backed up.
So,
can i flash roms on encrypted device? I mean i test a lot of roms and i change frequently.
I guess no, right?

Yes try with encryption as the ROMs doesn't require decrypting the device. Decrypted device is only required if you want to use multirom.
Good Luck.

but every time we try to reboot in recovery it asks for password to decrypt.
and if i enter default password storage shows only 32gb. that is strange

how does modded recovery helps in this btw?
hope it works

OK So I am able to flash any rom with encrypted storage and latest modified twrp.
This is working for me right now but still haven't found solution why it wouldn't work on unencrypted storage.
Thank you.

custom roms do not boot up

hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that

logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.

so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D

cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:
logcat 1st part: https://pastebin.com/EBZAgbhF
logcat 2nd part: https://pastebin.com/qaMFrvxi
dmesg: https://pastebin.com/Gg8bYkJy

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Well it worked for me.
Which custom rom you want to use?

well, it doesnt matter 2 me. the main thing is that it works =D rr, aex, crdroid..

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..
best regards

Don't give up there might be a solution.
Pray to God for some help.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7

i need help with restoring my samsung a50

my plan was to install pixel experience, i had the bootloader unlocked, and after installing twrp; i wasnt able to boot.
long story short i wiped literally everything in the advanced wipe section of twrp, including system, thinking ill be able to boot my phone.
what i need help with, is there a custom rom which doesnt require an existing boot or os to run? or i can install stock rom from sammobile through odin and will it work that way?
i saw this on yt comments, wanted to know if it is correct, "When I inquired a bit about GSI ROMS, I saw that these ROMs doesn't flash over the boot partition, they use the currently installed one. Because of that you probably have a broken boot partition causes bootloop."
i am able to enter twrp and download mode from there.
thank you.

Vbmeta verifies if any partitions was changed.
If it was, then it causes a bootloop if bootloader is locked.

Question Poco F3 - Boot Loop to POCO logo / Please help

Hello.
I have a big problem after updating the firmware.
Poco F3 root over magisk.
After updating from 12.5.6.0 RKHEUXM, I updated to 12.5.7.0 RKHEUXM.
After the restart, both the phone and the system booted up.
I patched the original boot.img via magisk, which I extracted via the Payload Dumper utility.
I flashed the patched boot.img in fastboot and after the reboot my phone went to the bootloop for the MIUI logo.
I tried to flash back the original boot.img and the bootloop is still, but now following the POCO logo, not the MIUI logo.
After a few bootloops, the phone stays in fastboot.
It's never happened to me before.
Twice before that, after the update, I normally flashed patched_boot.img and everything was fine, no bootloop.
Please who can advise me how to boot back into the system without losing data.
Thank you very much, I'm clueless.

Re flash stock rom

how please Re flash stock rom? detailed instructions, thanks
and I won't lose the data? (photos, videos)
edit:
Now i flash from fastboot the original boot.img to AB partition and bootloop to MIUI logo, after a few bootloops phone stays in fastboot

How re flash stock rom over ADB or TWRP without loose data?

How re flash stock rom over twrp? please

If you have a bootloop you need to format data.
Always back-up you data.

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.
