ROM installation failure : Encrypted file PARADOX

I have managed till installing twrp, however it seems like all the downloaded rom files and decrypt.zip are encrypted. I tried to copy 'em to the internal storage again but as I boot to twrp it again goes to encrypted mode. In Twrp, I tried to enable the MTP and copy files directly but it always fails. How do I go from here?? Please help!
Phone : MI mix 2
bootloader : unlocked
Twrp : installed
Twrp variant: Dwight twrp
Rom : Pixel Experience/ RR/ HAVOC etc

Use orange twrp

orange twrp ? could you tell me where can I get it?

My 2 cents:
If you can still boot whatever OS you have right now, back up things you need (including internal storage), then format /data. Reboot into recovery and flash whatever you want, optionally DecScript to switch to unencrypted data after next boot. OrangeFox recovery is not necessary but its UI could be seen as intuitive to some.

I can boot in Twrp and Miui10 OS too. I want to install custom rom, but the rom.zip files turns out encrypted when booting up in Twrp. while being in Twrp I tried to transfer " unencrypted rom.zip " files in my PC to internal storage to flash it but I can't transfer it even after enabling MTp in Twrp.
How do I install the rom is my problem. Shall I wipe data, cache? and then how?

So you're seeing the storage as encrypted (garbled content)? I never actually used encrypted data so I don't know for sure, but Wight's TWRP might not be able to decrypt MIUI's /data, so IMO you do need to format (not wipe) /data. You might also need to reboot to recovery once after that, so that the storage is recognized properly by PC.

Thanks. ok I will factory reset the phone reboot to twrp. Im using Mi phone for the first time, so i was scared that might locked the bootloader again. it wont relock the bootloader would it? guess im asking too many stupid questions.

Boot into TWRP and select Wipe and then Select the Format Data button.
Make sure you're not sliding to factory reset or advance wiping.
NOTE: This will erase all the information from the phone including internal storage. Make a backup prior this process.
After you're done, you can connect the phone to a PC while on TWRP to copy the rom zip files to internal storage and flash them. A backup from TWRP is highly recommended just in case.

Hey! It works! I'm enjoying LOS16 on mi mix 2.
My problems :
1. Booting to Recovery Twrp :
only thru fastboot mode > fastboot boot twrp.img, Mi inbuilt recovery prevent me to boot to twrp.
Is there any way to go to twrp by just pressing buttons?
2. Flashing magisk/Universal_Decrypt.Zip Bootloops

1- There are multiples ways to reboot to recovery:
Buttons combination: Turn the phone off and press Power + Volume Down and it will boot to recovery.
Apps (root required): There are multiples apps that has a option to reboot to recovery directly. Search something like advance reboot on Play Store.
adb (USB debugging required): Running the command "adb reboot recovery" from terminal will reboot the phone into recovery.
2- To flash magisk, first flash the rom and gapps and reboot to system, finish the initial setup and then reboot to recovery and flash the magisk zip file. Next reboot will take a few minutes.
Edit: The universal decrypt file is not necessary since the data partition is no longer encrypted.

Yes i agree. The thing is Mi has its own recovery, thats preventing me from going to twrp directly, (even though) twrp is properly installed. if i press the button combination it will go to the "Miui inbuilt recovery" Not to twrp. so i go the fastboot mode and boot to Twrp recovery thru adb command. If only I could suppress inbuilt recovery and boot to twrp recovery it would be great. Apps like "boot to recovery" only initiate booting in recovery. It fails to choose Twrp because there are two recovery inside.
In my previous devices, honor 8pro n Samsung 8+ this wasnt an issue. But with Mi phone...
Does yours boots to Twrp directly with the button combination?

That's means that the TWRP recovery is not installed, there's is just one recovery partition and only one can be installed at the same time.
From fastboot mode run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
That will replace the stock recovery and you will be able to boot to twrp with the button combination and any other app running the reboot recovery command.

Just remove lockscreen protection before rebooting into recovery. You will be fine. Do this before everytime you want something done in TWRP. You won't have to format DATA partition everytime. TWRP will decrypt with default password and you'll be good. I have moved between MIUI 10 and pie roms without trouble this way.

You can just use power + volume up combo to get into TWRP recovery. You don't basically need to fastboot for recovery after it's installed.

When you get boot in TWRP first time flash TWRP again with TWRP...1st time you boot TWRP with PC, than flash TWRP.img with TWRP. And don't forget to flash magisk to fix TWRP boot or flash dm-verty.zip. I would use OrangeFox recovery instead->flash it in TWRP after 1st pc boot and your done no extra steps needed.
Good luck.

- Yes,
- yes,
- yes and you can flash any recovery at this point (not necessary same, could be orangefox, pitchblack, TWRP, etc) and yes it needs to be on phone (use adb push or sd card) than reboot to recovery to check your result,
- yes, if you need magisk than you need to flash it from recovery.
Good luck.

Boot to twrp or any other recovery. Then flash that same img with in your booted recovery.

Choose recovery or flash with Cmd/Power shell ".\fastboot flash recovery twrp.img "

Enter this command in fastboot mode: fastboot boot skkk_twrp.img
If your device is in skkk TWRP, go to "Advanced" and select "Flash current TWRP" and then reboot recovery.

Poco F3 is an A/B device so there is no physical "recovery" partition, it is located with the boot partition. So don't write nonsense about flashing: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img because that's wrong and don't mislead others because it could end badly for someone. TWRP flashing instructions for Poco F3 are on the official twrp.me website, but you have a hard time finding it, I did it for you here.

Question installing custom recovery when device has AOSP recovery

So I installed a A13 AOSP rom (Evolution x) via orangefox and when I rebooted to recovery orangfox was gone and now I'm on AOSP recovery. I tried to "fastboot boot" TWRP but the phone restarts on black screen for several seconds then restarts again to system. and when I enter fastboot thro AOSP recovery and try to boot TWRP it just fails (says unrecognized command boot). how can I flash custom recovery? i was thinking of trying sideload but with fastboot not working properly, I dont want guessing and rather ask someone with more knowledge with AOSP recovery and what could be causing fastboot not working properly
PS/ AOSP recovery is not detecting otg, and when choosing apply updates from internal storage it says it cant mount /data

It is because flashing rom also flash the recovery packed along with the rom, and it will replace your old recovery. To prevent it you need to also tick on the reflash ofox option when you flash a rom, which is too late in your case.
So, if you want to reflash ofox recovery, download and extract the zip file, locate the recovery.img in the extracted folder, reboot to bootloader and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img
then reboot to recovery with the command:
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
and your device will temporarily boot into ofox recovery
The last step is to flash the recovery to ramdisk to make it permanently, you can find this option in ofox settings.

Thank you mf this worked! Booting twrp through fastbood just gave me black screen so I didnt think that booting Ofox would be any different but it actually booted Ofox recovery and I flashed it no problem. If anyone's going to attempt this make sure to backup your data before cause you'll need to format data

BOOT VERSION
Installation:
Phone in fastboot mode
Cmd:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Power shell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REC VERSION
Install with TWRP.

"only boots through cmd, but can't flash it"
Use "fastboot boot twrp.img", then "Install RamDisk" in TWRP
But you don't have to install TWRP or OrangeFox to use them. You can also just boot into them.
Modern phones don't have Recovery-partition anymore, Recovery is merged into Boot-partition now. Fastboot can only replace partitions and not inject things like TWRP into it, so you have to install TWRP through a recovery, because those can patch a partition (inject TWRP).
You can flash MIUI Recovery ZIP (full, not incremental) to get back to MIUI. xiaomifirmwareupdater.com has official MIUI ROMs. You can use "adb sideload" in TWRP to install a ZIP
But since you say you wiped all or most partitions, I'd say use Mi Flash and Fastboot ROMs instead...

This is what i use to get out of boot issues, infact i have been playing around with the A13 ColorOS (OnePlus 8 Pro Port) today and after a clean install i was faced with rebooting into fastboot, i was able to access recovery but no way of installing a different rom even after changing slots A/B and stuck in FASTBOOT mode.
My get out of fastboot for free card is to install Xiaomi.eu V12 via fast boot then i`m back to almost official firmware,
I hope you sort it, I've been there many times

You could've avoided making this thread by simply searching how to install TWRP on Poco F3, on YouTube.
There are so many videos about it...

Hi,
Did you have a go using my method,
1. Put your F3 into FASTBOOT mode,
1a. connect to your PC.
2. Run temporary Orangefox using, RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat file.
3. After Orangefox re-boots back into recovery, from the hamburger "Menu" select, flash current Orangefox.
I`ve had some strange issue with orangefox, to fix it i reset to defaults from with-in "FOX ADDONS" in the Menu folder.
If you are struggling with installing a new rom then i would advise to go down the Xiaomi.eu V12 clean install.
Good luck.

Try my method!
1. Connect your POCO to a PC, and hold the volume down button.
2.Download the MIUI ROM from
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
2.5.Open MiFlash, select the MIUI_13.X.X folder and click OK.
3.Select flash_all.bat or flash_all_lock.bat depending if you want your device locked again or still unlocked.
4.Click Flash
5.After rebooting, you are done!
Oh wait, you dont want to flash MIUI again? Try this:
1.Download twrp_3.7.0_a12 (BUT IF THAT DOESNT WORK) download twrp_3.6.1_a11
2.Open CMD, (in the platform-tools folder) and type this:
fastboot flash boot twrp_3.x.x
(the twrp_3.x.x being the img name)
or
fastboot boot twrp_3.x.x
3.When in TWRP, erase data. REMEMBER, NEVER WIPE SYSTEM OR PERSIST!
- Tap on Wipe
- Format Data
- and for good measure, Also Swipe for a factory reset.
4.If you want to flash a custom rom, depending on what rom it is, im gonna use PixelPlusUI as an example:
adb push PixelPlusUI_2022_10_23 /sdcard
(the rom being the "PixelPlusUi_xxxxxx_23"
Its recommended to flash the newest firmware too:
adb push xiaomi_firmware /sdcard
And flashing it that way.
5 - Change the slot from A to B or from B to A depending on what you saw when you were flashing the ROM.
"FLASHING A/B ZIP TO INACTIVE SLOT: X"
6. After flashing a ROM, go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
7. That's it! - Reboot! but if that doesnt work, reflash MIUI.
