Note 8 pro bricked - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Today i installed LR recovery and rooted my phone then i installed Viper 4 android... everything went well.. at last i uninstalled xiamo sim activation apk because it bothered me every time i reboot my phone... but after uninstalling that my phone is no longer booting up.. it boots to fastboot mode only.. I can manually boot to twrp but my files are also corrupted...
anyway to recover my data? MIUI 11 indonesian rom

You can always try to reinstall the app through adb in recovery mode, maybe then it'll boot. Kind of surprised you can't access your files through recovery mode, thought data decryption worked. There's also the possibility that dirty flashing the entire image on top of your current one will restore the missing apps and allow it to boot. Might want to save that as a last resort.

It's just that there are apk that you should not remove. Look for XiaomiADBFastbootTools, it's a tool designed to disable/enable/uninstall/reinstall Xiaomi bloatware, it doesn't require TWRP or root, just adb, and all the apps there are safe to remove.

I'm using Linux right now, and it only runs on Java 11, maybe it's java version problem? Try to use Oracle Java 11 if Redhat or other OpenJDK distribution doesn't work.

You have to mount the system partition first, go to the mount tab and select system, then try the file manager and look for recovery.p, should be there.

Hi Guys,
I need urgent help with this. My friend's phone suddenly won't turn on and shows "Encryption unsuccessful". Tried factory reset but shows error triangle, tried wipe cache and all but to no avail.

If it still under warranty then send it in ... this usually means the data partition is corrupted.
If it is unlocked, formatting data partition in TWRP recovery will fix it but this is non-rooted stock device, so the best option is HTC service centre.

Left with Official Twrp

Hi guys, I was trying to install latest beta. Formatted my OS with latest F2FS storage and wiped everything. But my MTP option in recovery is not getting enabled so am not able to copy data to internal Storage. So how can I install OS on it. I have all the zip files , recoveries but since am not able to copy, I am left with recovery only. Any ideas how to install OS.

Open the task manager and kill "adb" and try again .. this happened to me too .. it worked after this !
All the best ??
I have the same problem. I'm stuck in TWRP. I tried to flash the Open Beta zip file using TWRP, but it's not installing. Same with ADB sideload, it says it installedm but every time i reboot to system it goes back to TWRP.
Edit: I flashed twrp-3.0.2-22-oneplus3, format storage, flashed Oxygen OS CB Beta 7 and my phone is working again. I'll probably stick with Beta 7 for now.

It looks so simply but did you take a look to your rom zip? open with a zip explorer like winzip in /META-INF/com/google/android and here you must find this file

well, what version of twrp do you use? try first with oficcial 3.0.2.0, bootloader unlocked? check usb debbugging and allow oem unlock in developer options, sometimes neccessary mount system or enable MTP in recovery

Probably a bad flashing and you are needing repari partitions, for that I recommend start from beginning again:
- flash miui rom for fastboot (unpack zip rom in your adb folder for better performance, connect device to pc into mode fastboot, be sure device be recogniced typing; fastboot devices then right click mouse and execute like admin over "flash all".
- then to install rom you can flash again twrp via fastboot typing any place adb folder and placing file recovery.img this folder; fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- then go to recovery with hardware keys and flash supersu v.2.79

two things; I assume that trying to flash from extSD, if yes with file explorer of recovery copy to internal memory, maybe an issue to reading extSD, also you can to install a newer version of recovery 3.0.3.2 works sometimes for me and last here you have a reading page about install fastboot on mac (nightmare) http://www.stechguide.com/setup-adb-and-fastboot-on-mac-easy-step-by-step-guide/

Root issues in Oreo

I'm installing twrp but whenever i try to boot into twrp all my data is wiped and twrp is unable to mount it
"Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer"
I need to manually change the filesystem and then again change to ext4 for twrp to mount data.
Main issue is i want to use snapchat and for that i need to boot into OS, login into snapchat and then root in twrp
but again as soon as i boot into twrp my data partition is not mountable. I have flashed no_encrypt_no_verity.dm_ashyx to disable dm-verity.
Flashed various twrp version from 3.0 to 3.2
Also did a clean OS flash from odin but still no luck.
Any suggestion and help will be appreciated.

As soon as i boot in twrp, data is not mountable. So I then go to
wipe-->adv wipe-->(select data partition)repair or change partition-->change partition format-->fat
TWRP then wipes it to fat filesytem,then i change it to ext4 (which is readable by OS)
then only data partition is mounted.
Afterwards I flash no-verity-no-encryption_ashyx and RMM patch
Boots normal to OS
Again boot to twrp i get error unable to mount /data
I had this issue in nougat but it used to happen only once.After flashing patch i used to not get this error repeated

Twrp/above factory reset on right side there is an option format data.
Press on this option and a keyboard rises.type YES and select format data.
After this check data partition,should be mounted.
After this flash SU zip and last Ashyx s patch.
Idonel this many times never had a problem even in Orsi.
Hope it works I can t think of something else.

Which twrp version are you using?
Try...
The universal "no verity opt encrypt".
Magisk for the above, or safetynet evasion.
Backing up snapchat in /data/data/ and /sdcard/Android/data/, and load the backup. By PC or external sdcard, or load the backup later.

Tried the universal version for samsung and applied RMM patch, unfortunately same issue again.
I think that this has to do with SEpolicy. In nougat i used to get a small red warning at the edge of screen while booting to twrp. That time i did not face this
issue. Now I dont get any warning..boots into twrp with data partition corrupted.
I dont know, ive tried everything possible but no luck.
This is how I did and it works on my A320FL:
1. I installed Ashyx's version of TWRP via odin.
2. Boot into TWRP and "Format Data" from "Wipe" menu.
3. Flash SuperSu.
4. Flash Ashyx's patch.
5. Reboot phone(into recovery again).
6. Update TWRP with McFy's version.

So I think is something concerning the MM firmware that was not fixed with the N and O updates, 'cause I bought it very close to his launch too. I solved it by flashing a custom rom, so I think the problem was in official MM firmware or something went wrong in the OTA updates

At this point the only advice I can give you is to do a full wipe including "Internal Storage" (if you didn't) before flashing with Odin.
I really don't guess it will solve the problem on an official firmware, but there's no harm in trying

No matter what you try at this point you're data will always encrypt and will need to be formatted. TWRP will always reset.
This requires a whole different route and needs you to edit system files.
I'll get back to you with details.

This method requires intermediate knowledge of Windows and CMD commands....I've tried to simplify it and hope it is easy enough to go through
The files that need editing are the ramdisk fstab files.
Basically you are going to unpack boot.img, edit the files and repack it.
Here's how you do it:
In windows...From the firmware, open the AP file with WinRAR. Extract boot.img.lz4 and save it to your desktop
Go here https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases/download/v1.8.2/lz4_v1_8_2_win64.zip
Extract it then just place your boot.img.lz4 to directory of lz4
Next open up cmd as admin and cd to the location where lz4.exe is located
In cmd type lz4.exe boot.img.lz4
This will unpack the lz4 file.
Now download http://www.mediafire.com/file/93a3f4bikaxh6tj/MTK_Extractor_V2.6.3.zip
Just open exe go to boot tab select the unpacked boot.img
This will extract the files you need and it will create folder called "initrd" and it will contain the contents of boot.img.
Make sure you have Notepad++ installed to edit the files.
Go to the MTK folder where your files have been extracted
Right click Fatah.goldfish and select open with Notepad++
Next find the phrase ",encryptable=userdata"
Delete it
Close the tab in Notepad++ and click to save
Back to MTK folder and right click fstab.ranchu. Open with Notepad++
Find the phrase ",quota,forceencrypt=/dev/block/vdd"
Delete it
Find the phrase ",encryptable=userdata"
Delete it
Close the tab in Notepad++ and click to save
Back to MTK folder and right click fstab.samsungexynos7880. Open with Notepad++
Find the phrase ",verify"
Delete it
Find the phrase ",forceencrypt=footer,quota"
Delete it.
Close the tab in Notepad++ and click to save
Next, go back to the MTK program and press the repack button
This will create your new boot.img file
Go back to the MTK folder. You should see your old boot.img file saved as "boot-old.img" and your new file as "boot.img"
Install 7-zip
Back to MTK right click your new boot.img. select 7-zip then select "add to archive"
This will open up another window. Simply select "tar" from the dropdown menu for "Archive format"
Press OK
This will create a new file "boot.tar"
Flash this via Odin with phone in Download mode
The boot will now be patched and you can set up TWRP as you need.
This whole process will need repeating if a new AP is flashed

Unable to install ADB driver. Nexus locked to TWRP recovery

Good morning guys.
I'm not really new to this forum, I've known you for years and I've always followed you for small "mods" or particular problems that I had over time with my devices.
I apologize, but I would like to ask you for help because I have big problems with an ASUS Nexus WiFi 32GB Tablet
Unfortunately, I can in no way connect it to the PC in order to install any rom (I wanted to install the rom stock). I tried everything, I even formatted an old PC and installed windows XP hoping for more compatibility (nostalgic).
The first time, I managed to install a ROM from TWRP recovery 2.8, enabling the USB-OTG and buying the appropriate cable, but then unfortunately, I wanted to try to change ROM and already I was there I wanted to update the recovery to 3.3 .1.0, but I must have been wrong to click somewhere in the recovery. I was convinced that the USB-OTG could always be enabled, so I had the security that I would always be able to install a S.O.
Now the S.O is no longer present in the device and from recovery I can no longer enable USB-OTG, and obviously in the device, no image is present that can help me, probably because I have eliminated everything with different wipes.
The PC in no way manages to see the device, whatever driver I try to install, it tells me that they have no information regarding the connected device, so I can't even use adb.
Please, help me, if needed, format a PC and install Linux or anything else I can use to resurrect this damn device.
Thank you so much for existing ...
Hello, did you try to reboot your tab in bootloader mode, and then install stock factory image from Asus? Maybe After that you will be able to reinstall twrp and custom rom you want... Your tab is unlocked? Did you try the wugfresh tool? Good luck
Thanks for the reply ichi-nii, I tried to reboot the device in bootloader mode (The menu with the open heart robot, Fastboot Mode, right?), Even if it doesn't give me many options, I can only choose whether to Turn off the device, Start it in Recovery (TWRP) or restart the Bootloader, nothing more, and from here I can't install anything anyway.
I believe the device is unlocked, or at least it was, and Fastboot tells me that it is unlocked, so ...
To use the Wugfresh tool, if I didn't err I have to be able to connect this Nexus to the PC and make it see it, but as I said ... No driver allows me to recognize this device from the PC ...
I don't know what to do ...
Isn't there a TWRP terminal way to do something? Some commands that can re-enable the USB-OTG ...
I think I inadvertently (because I didn't know what I was going towards) SELinux enabled, it was after this that the USB-OTG didn't work anymore (I think) ...
Sorry for you bro, so you tell me even in bootloader mode , the tab is not recognized ? Maybe try to connect it when you are in twrp, And another one thing, maybe try another usb port or cable... About otg I can't help you , maybe your connector is broken? Did you try with windows 7 or linux( just to send files to sdcard)
edit: I just try to connect my tab (twrp mode on the screen) to my computer with kali Linux and I Can access to sdcard on the tab

Thank you so much for your help!
I tried to connect the device, both from TWRP and from Fastoboot mode but it is not recognized by Windows ... (Both Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10) I tried to change USB ports and I also tried to change the cable, but nothing ...
The OTG cable is new, I used it on this device and it worked perfectly, I tried it on another device and it works, so the cable is ok, I must have done some **** myself.
Sending any file to the device is just what I'm desperately trying to do, I don't care how, I'm interested in doing it and fixing the damn thing.
If you tell me that your computer with Kali Linux sees it and you can access the memory, I try immediately.
Thank you so much !!
I'm not at all an expert on Linux, how does it work in this case? From Linux terminal? do I have to send commands? Or is it seen as a folder? ....
Forgive my humble ignorance ...
? I'm not an expert too? just install any linux with graphic interface then open the file manager , I did this with kali just because I have it on an old computer.
Good luck

I have to thank you for the help, from Linux I can easily see the device, I managed to insert in the internal memory the rom that I had previously installed ... so I took a big step forward! Unfortunately the misfortune haunts me and the recovery doesn't want to know to install that damn rom. I had to fall back on a Slimroms that I found here on the forum, but I'm not exactly where I want to be. I would like to be able to install my ROM or at most something more complete and updated. Now I try to install the GApps so that I can install some apps that allow me to permanently disable SELinux, then try again to Flash my rom ...
I do not know how to thank you! You have been very helpful.

Congratulations, like you said it's a big step. Do you use the last twrp? Maybe the problem comes from that...

I updated the TWRP to 3.3.1.0, I think it is quite up to date, but it is strange that this is so, because from OTG I installed it quietly without problems ... I am convinced that SELinux blocks something ...
I also tried to check the zip file before installation and it gives me an error, it can't install ...
I'm going crazy ... but at least now I have the chance to do tests!

My dear friend! You are an ace, a beast! It was only thanks to you that I was able to solve my problem. Thank you very much, now there is a little 7-year-old who can come back and have fun with this Nexus 7, and of course he also thanks you very much.
I'll tell you briefly how I had to move and the problems I encountered and how I solved it step by step, so that if it happens to someone else, it may have a path to follow eventually.
I was screwed, after I managed to copy the stock image from flash to Kali-Linux inside the Nexus 7, because that damned TWRP crashed during installation without giving me a reason, I had to restart the tablet and that's it; from linux, same speech with ADB Sideload, did not complete the installation.
So I tried to Flashare a custom image, Slimrom that gave me only problems right away, I couldn't touch anything that gave error (but it was installed .. so I was still hoping).
So I tried to flash my damned stock rom directly from Fastboot, but it gave me a thousand mistakes of every kind, from there I suspected that there was something wrong with the file system or the partitions ... something must have messed up something , it was not possible that I could not install any roms anymore, not even the wipe worked, there was something strange, I thought of starting from the base.
So from recovery I found the function that allows you to change File System in the various partitions, so one by one I restored F2FS, the Wipe worked magically, the road was the right one.
I start with the installation of the Stock Rom ... but nothing, errors concerning the lack of files or information (now unfortunately I don't remember in detail)
Reading on the forum, I realized that it could be a common problem and that you could flash the individual files contained in the "stock.img" file that I had downloaded, even individually. So I extracted the archive of the downloaded stockrom, extracted the same .img file inside it, I found myself with all those files.img (boot.img / recovery.img / userdata.img etc etc) at that point I have them flash them one by one with the special fastboot commands.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Taaaaaaaaaaakkkkk
Now it finally starts, it works !!!!!
All this, thanks to you, with that idea of ​​connecting it to linux you gave me hope and it worked !!
I am Italian, from Rimini, if you ever happen in Italy you have a paid fish dinner !!!!!
Thanks again!!!!

Thanks guys, I stumbled across this thread and changed the file system of System & Data partitions to F2FS (from ext4) and everything seemed to work normally after that. Thank you!
