TWRP crashing on startup with blue led and buzzing

Well, I accidentally formatted my phone a few days ago, connected to pc and flashed los 14.1 and gapps.
Now it turns out whenever I hold down the power and volume buttons it takes me to the TWRP teamwin project screen, then freezes with a blue led and a buzzing noise without taking me to the installation screen
Any help/suggestions on what I should do as I still want to download a oreo custom rom later?
Thanks,
B50Corei5

I had that problem, fixed it by flashing the stock kernel (boot.IMG) through fastboot.

I had that problem, also reflashed full stock ROM via fastboot (systemchunk + boot + recovery + cache + userdata even preload in a second time)
Now I can't flash cust recovery, but I can boot in it.
I can flash, via recovery, a custom ROM but can't boot in it.
Any idea?

Same problem

Take complete backup of your internal storage using file manager present in recovery mode. "Format data" or change" format system partition" of data partition. try couple of times to format if first time format not working.

Isn't there any other method by changing recovery? By flashing it again
Pls tell some other method

For internal storage backup:
Recovery - File manager method did not work?
Change system partition format of data partition to some other format and revert it to original. It works perfectly.

nothing is happening

I formatted data partition by using wipe->format data. U need to type "yes" to confirm, because entire internal sdcard will be deleted. So make sure u have rom and other zip files saved on external sdcard.
Then i used advanced wipe->repair/change filesystem and changed it to ext4 and then back to f2fs.
2nd time i installed los, i made sure not to set up a pin after 1st boot during rom setup, then tried to reboot into recovery, but ended up with black screnn + blue led. I tried to reinstall twrp via fastboot - no success. Then i formatted data partition via fastboot, which made me boot into recovery again.
I still dont get why and when blue led happens or encryption fails although ive never seen a "encryption failed" message. Only the blue led...

Thanks guys for the help, got it sorted by flashing stock ROM in fast boot ?

In order to fix this, you have to do a data wipe via fastboot and then flash twrp again. If you are coming from stock rom, you need to change data partition to ext4 (by default it;s f2fs) and it should work fine. I think that f2fs has its advantages, but twrp does not seem to support it. Maybe on a future update

TWRP Unable to mount Data HELP!

When i flashed Stock Rom 8.0 to my phone it boot normal. Then i flash TWRP made for my device. Downloaded supersu and going to flash it but then in the end it says Unable to unmount or mount i forgot sorry!I see that my internal storage is 0MB in TWRP but its not! So it seems like TWRP didnt encrypt my data or what? I flashed stock again cuz i got bootloop after that! Than flashed TWRP again and Internal storage is 0MB! HELP!

You have to format (not wipe) /data in TWRP then it will work, although you will lose all data. TWRP can't mount Samsung encrypted partitions.

until twrp 3.2.1-0 I think I did not have full support for samsung 8.0, I used twrp 3.2.2-0, and the /data is getting decrypted even after reboot.

Really? Your internal doesn't show 0MB and you can backup data partition with TWRP? I didn't think it was TWRP related... that would be awesome.
What did you do? Only format data or did you flash anything?

Problem after flashing wth global rom

Hello,
I get Xiaomi mix 2s global with:
-Unblocked bootloader
-Installed OrangeFox Recovery
-Installed some Android 10 pixel experience rom
I wanted back to original global rom with stock recovery and reblock bootloader, so i download Global Stable ROM V11.0.5.0.QDGMIXM, put to internal storage and install from OrangeFox.
And now, when I turn on the smartphone, it’s starts, restart and go again to OrangeFox recovery.
In log I have: “Android Rescue Party trigger! Wipe data and caches and/or clean-flash you ROM!"
OrangeFox disables forced encryption by default, and now I need to enabled encryption? How to do it?
So, How to fix it?
I want to back to original global rom with stock recovery and reblock bootloader, bu first I have t turn on system.
Thanks
EDIT:
After installatin PixelExperience_polaris-10.0-20200528-1111-OFFICIAL from OrangeFox, smartphone starts normally, now I want to back to stock rom, recovery and reblock bootloader.

If your bootloader unlocked try formatting your data in orange fox recovery and reboot and see if that fixes it. Just remember formatting data partition wipes everything on your device so anything you want to save be sure and transfer over to your PC first.

I got the same error - Android Rescue Party trigger..." and bootlop.
EDIT:
But I wiped:
Dalvik / ART Cache
Cache
System
Data
Didn't wipe: Internal storage and Vendor.
After that, i installed Global stable V11.0.5.0.QDGMIXM and get the same error, but some settings have been saved - for example my pattern for unlocking.
EDIT:
I did: wipe all, reboot to twrp, flash ROM, and when I try format data, I get error:
Formatting Data using mke2fs...
mke2fs -t ext4 b...
Proces ebded with ERROR: 1
Unable to wipe Data.
Unable to format to remove encryption.
EDiT3:
Success!
I tried once more, and it's ok.
Solution:
1. Wipe all via recovery
2. reboot to recovery
3. flash rom
4. Format data partition (format, no wipe, if mke2fs doesn't work, try with rm-f)
5. Reboot system.
After that everything is ok, at the end uploading stock recovery via adb went without a any problem.
Thanks!

Just to help many others. The trick here, is to format data, not just wipe data from TWRP. You need to hit format data from the wipe menu and type "yes" to confirm. Some things need to be said in plain English.

Forget it, your steps worked for me too!

Internal Storage

Help me please.
My phone is in a bootloop and twrp cant mount /data. I tried formatting and changing file system but it all failed. I cant flash rom in MiFlash and it says "flash xbl error" or "FAILED (File is too large to download)"

What did you do before the phone went into bootloop? Also did you format on TWRP via Wipe -> Format Data?

just format data and install rom through micro sd if your internal storage not working in twrp

Alright. Im not that experienced with edl. Can you send picture of Wipe -> Advanced Wipe that we can see all of the partitions? Maybe also if you can send pictures of every partitions details by ticking them and then going to "Repair or Change File System" and taking screenshots? Don't know if this is gonna help, but it's worth a try.

Try changing the filesystem of /data to ext4, and then back to f2fs, and then rebooting into TWRP. I've had this problem before, and that worked for me.

[Q] How to decrypt data partition without losing data?

Hi there,
My phone doesn't boot to android and returns to recovery every time, after doing a dirty installation from ArrowOS 11 encrypted to 12 also encrypted.
I made a backup, but I selected the internal storage by fault.
And now TWRP doesn't ask me for a password, so I can't decrypt the data partition.
What I tried to fix the issue:
I tried to install more than one TWRP version included [Orange fox, PBRP, and a one called twrp_ginkgo-willow-3.4A9_23-12-2020_BL.img (this was one I used before with ArrowOS 11]
installed the last working firmware and the latest ArrowOS 11 as I can't find older versions.
decrypting the data with this command: "ADB shell twrp decrypt mypincode"
The last time this happened to me, I followed those steps:
I had to wipe all partitions and clean install the same previous ROM
Then I created the same pin code as my previous one
I created a backup of boot, Dtbo, and recovery
restored my data backup through TWRP
restored the boot, Dtbo, and recovery
wiped the Dalvik / Art Cache and Cache
The problem now is that I created the backup on the internal storage by fault. If someone made the same pin code as mine and created a backup of the boot, Dtbo, and recovery for me is it going to work?
Is there anything else I can do to recover my data?

If you already (sometime in the past) flashed DFE wih format data , then just flash DFE and clear chache/dalvik + reboot
if you never did it then i'm afraid there is no solution ,you have to format
Ask in DFE topic to make sure

I didn't use it, but last time I didn't use it also and I restored my data, so I think I might have a chance.
Is there a way to backup the current encrypted data partition to a PC or a memory card?

Some roms does not encrypt data by default, that was the case i think

I never tried it (i never encrypt) so i'm not sure
you can change the bkp path in Ofox to USB (OTG) or SDCard and see if it work
