I thought of having a new ROM installed on my phone and it is not the first time I'm doing it.
Device: Redmi Note 8 [ ginkgo ]
These are the steps that I followed:
Moving to bootloader and rebooting to TWRP recovery
Wiping the cache, system, data and dalvik cache
Moving to install option and installing the CustomROM1.zip from the Internal Storage
But the screen is stuck at boot animation
Using my laptop I tried to do the following:
5.1. fastboot erase system and fastboot erase recovery
5.2. Flashed TWRP recovery again using fastboot flash recover twrp.img
Moved the CustomROM2.zip file in the Internal Storage and tried to flash resulted in boot animation loop
I even tried to ADB sideload and flash the zip but resulted in the same error.
CustomROM1 = Havoc-OS-v3.7-20200708-ginkgo-official.zip
CustomROM2 = AncientOS-CIVILIZATION-v3.0.1-ginkgo-PRIMEVAL-20200331-0828.zip
Any sort of help to get out of this would be totally appreciable. And thank in advance.
You have to format data in recovery (format where you have to type yes not wipe). Ideally do this before installing ROM.
So wipe everything, format data then install ROM

That is the 'wipe' screen options. NOT the format screen options.
Please read again. What is said for you to do.
In twrp.
Go to wipe menu
At bottom press format
This gives you screen that says to format, type "yes"

****edit: It appears that the option "format /system" which is tucked away in a sub menu did the trick and erased the rom.
I am trying to completely delete a rom I have installed which is CyanogenMod 11 but it seems to stay no matter what, or I'm not doing it right.
First I go into recovery with the power+vol down and choosing recovery.
I have ClockworkMod 5.8.1.5.
From there I choose the wipe data/factory reset and also the wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache.
Then I choose the install zip from sd card to install Blackout_ICS_Incredible_v4.0.zip
After following the installer instructions and rebooting it goes back to CM11...
Any ideas how to wipe CM11 from my device?
Thanks :good:

Try formatting with fastboot.
Boot your device into fastboot and type these commands
Code:
fastboot devices
Just to be sure ur devic is connected
Code:
fastboot format system
Code:
fastboot format data
Code:
fastboot format boot
If the above doesnt work, susbtitute
Code:
format
with
Code:
erase
4EXT Recovery 1.0.0.6 R2
try changing the recovery via bootloader, download latest 4ext recovery zip then rename it to PD98IMG and place it to your root directory of your sdcard. Then go into bootloader it will automatically detect zip file and will ask you for update, press volume up to start the update, reboot and your done. After flashing new recovery go into recovery and then wipe/format from there format all partitions except sd card. When done go back to main menu and select info to see the free space/size of all partitions.
Device: HTC Desire HD
ROM: CM11 M8.1
Recovery: 4EXT 1.0.0.6 R3 build 8

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I've tried just about every method I've been able to find in order to decrypt this phone but nothing seems to work for me. After every attempt I boot into recovery and can see in the log that the phone decrypted with default password. I also check in security settings and it says the phones encrypted. I've tried flashing twrp 2.8 and 3.0, in both cases I perform a factory reset as the guides instruct and wipe dalvic & cache with no success. I've also rooted the phone with chainfire systemless root and flashed the modified boot img but phone stays encrypted. Also tried flashing a custom kernel that supposed to disable force encryption. I know there must be something I'm missing. Right now I've started from square one and returned phone to stock. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Format data, not factory reset.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Boot into TWRP
Format userdata
Flash SuperSu-systemless
Reboot
So, format user data from adb? Because I chose advanced wipe in twrp and ticked off everything but system.

Wiping and formating are two different things. You may format userdata in twrp or with fastboot.
TWRP: Wipe > Format Data (next to the Advanced Wipe button)
fastboot: reboot to the bootloader/power off then hold both the power button and volume down > connect to computer > open terminal > type "fastboot format userdata" without quotes and press enter
This will wipe your device clean. If you want to flash a ROM push it to the phone after formatting data.
Damn, yeah that's the one thing I hadn't done. Got it, thanks pious.

nice.
Is "flashing factory img" will get the same effect as format userdata?

You need a PC, boot into bootloader and use these commands
Code:
fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
But this will wipe everything

I recently unlocked my bootloader after waiting for 1440 hours. I am/was currently on MIUI 10.0.1.0 but wanted to install a custom rom like lineage 15.1. I installed Red Wolf TWRP and then tried to install the rom. I went to Advanced Wipe section of the recovery and checked Dalvik, Cache, Data and System but not Vendor and Internal Storage. It wiped those partitions without any error. But after that i tried to install the rom but halfway through install it ended with "Update Process Ended with Error 7" and a line saying "Failed to Mount /system (Invalid Argument)" and changed the system partition size to zero. I had to repair it and flash MIUI back using fastboot.
I did this same process over and over with different recoveries ( RED WOLF, ORANGE WOLF and even official TWRP) and different builds of lineage (rom zip was never corrupted) and even with ressurection remix but still failed and same thing happened again and again. Am I doing something wrong in the process? I didn't flash lazyflasher as I read in multiple threads that it is not necessary if flashing a custom rom. Please guide?
I hope it works for my English.
1- mount > select all > restart recovery
2- full wipe > install rom and gapps > format data

Thanks for replying. You said full wipe. Should I include vendor as well or just regular (Dalvik, Cache, Data and System)?

I again tried the process as follows:
Flashed MIUI 9.6.4.0 with MiFlash using clean and lock option.
Then I unlocked it again using miunlock.
Then I flashed RedWolf v28 beta recovery by booting it and flashing it from inside recovery.
This time I flashed lazyflasher and checked options disable dm-verity and force encrypt in recovery and installed magisk. It did it perfectly.
Then I went to Advanced Wipe Section of Wipe tab and checked all the option required like cache, dalvik, data, system and even vendor. It wiped it without any problems like always.
But here the same problem starts to arise: when I again tried to install lineage 15.1 (downloaded latest build this time too) it starts but after halfway through it says Updater process ended with Error 7
Cannot install sdcard/lineage-build date and version
and Unable to mount /system (invalid argument)
When i restart recovery system partition size changes to zero and I have to repair it by changing the file system option.
Currently now I'm on MIUI 9.6.4.0 with RedWolf recovery (options disable dm-verity and force encrypt are enabled) and lazyflasher and Magisk installed. I can use my phone when I flash MIUI 9 or 10 using but it not letting me to install any custom rom. I'm really frustrated.

When you get the mount error, come to the home page and get to the mount. speak enable all options enable all options. speak restart recovery restart recovery. make format data
Not sure if the link is forbidden? I can't tell you sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzrWkjOfndA&t=501s
I have read replies and everyone is sharing his bit of suggestions, here are mine
1. boot redwolf as FASTBOOT BOOT recovery.img - (if you arent already)
2. change file type of /data partition to-from (xFat to ext4) and wipe all partitions (internal storage can be skipped)
3. instead of linage15.1 same package, try downloading some other custom rom, i recomend DotOS2.5 or Crdroid4.6.2
4. uncheck enforce md5 bla bla while flashing zip.
i hope you will succeed
I'm facing some permissions problems and thus being unable to install Paranoid Android Q5. I was using MIUI 12 (Xiaomi.EU).
The steps I took to change the ROM:
Formated data (errors started right away) then I did the usual wipes (cache, dalvik, data)
Whenever I try to wipe or format data I get error messages like: Error opening /data/XXX (Operation not permitted).
System is always mounted read-only no matter what I try and after I install any ROM many of these error messages pop up.
Orange Fox gives some error about key.
Flashing of the ROM suceeds, but system cannot boot, loading screen forever.
Can anyone point me some directions?
Thanks in advance and sorry about any possible bad grammar.

I still had those problems. I don't know if it is a problem with the TWRP or something similar. Is there any progress to solve this problem? I wanted to try the pixel experience betas with Android 11 but because of this problem with the TWRP I have not succeeded (in case I have Android 10 under MIUI 12.0.3 and RN8 Ginkgo model and obviously unlocked bootloader)

Format data ..(backup first if u need ) .. the boot to recovery again ... Should decrypt the data ... Worked for me ...
I am having this exact problem.
Under internal storage (sdcard) I see a bunch of hashed folders I cannot open.
Format data returns a multitude of "Error opening '/data/somefolder/asdf/asdf' (Operation not permitted) and marks the wipe as Failed. The attempted formatting also mentions "E:Error making /sdcard/Fox directory: Required key not available." "Failed to unmount '/data' (Device or resource busy)
I can wipe anything except Data. I also tried downgrading to 12.0.1 firmware but it does not fix it for me.
The ROM can be booted into, and magisk managed to be installed, but no google apps were installed.

Recovery download link on description. Only for Note 8/8T.
I flashed it with fastboot and works fine!
A problem like this was the one I had since TWRP had the device encrypted but it did not inform me and it did not give me any sign that I had to write a password (password that I have no idea what it is).
What I did so that it did not give me an error was to install Orangefox and while there delete everything and install a file of these that I got from google.
I had to try one by one and restart to see if it asked me for a password in orangefox, luckily one worked and it no longer asked me to decrypt the files and I could install the rom and gapps normally

Can't wipe it still, I already try the Mount > ✓ Vendor ✓ System.. but in formatting it say's "Cant Mount the....blah..blah.."
I try to uncheck the "Mount System vendor, system as read-only" from the settings of mount.. but for some reason, if you go back to Mount options again, you can't check the system, vendor now

Had the same issue.
1. I installed twrp via ADB
2. Restarted to recovery mode into twrp
3. Installed the latest OrangeFox and restarted into recovery again.
4. It asked me for a password which is the pin I set then proceeded to format data.
5. After formatting data I restarted again to recovery.
Then I was able to install custom roms.
I am using derpfest Android 12 on my Poco x3 pro. I want to install magisk.zip through orange fox recovery installed on my phone. But I am not getting storage data on recovery, only a fox folder is there. Can somebody tell me is it a glitch or any Android 12 restrictions or something.
