Yes, without a working TWRP at encryption level, the only solution is to trip fstab as we were doing before.Wondering if anybody has installed the stable Android 10 version for Mix2S and encrypted the phone? Is it still good to go if I change the fstab.qcom file in TWRP after flashing the ROM?
It is located in vendor/etc folder.I have tried but failed: I could not find the fstab.qcom in the TWRP
Thanks a lot! I have tried many methods in about 2 days and finally failed. Now I succeed to encrypt it with your help.It is located in vendor/etc folder.
You must MOUNT vendor before to see it.
Best to use the fencrypt.zip file to be flashed after any rom update.Thanks a lot! I have tried many methods in about 2 days and finally failed. Now I succeed to encrypt it with your help.
My device is MIX 2S and (with MIUI.eu beta version MIMix2S_20.1.21_v11-10, not stable version). Modification to fstab.qcom works well.
Thanks. I enable encryption by modifying fstab.qcom file manually. Now the encryption works.Best to use the fencrypt.zip file to be flashed after any rom update.
You have a story about this to read there:
Change the fsatb file or try it like it is. I am almost sure they are very similar.
Same happened to me (Mi8), but didn't format.Has anyone tried to modify fstab in new releases? Modification in 20.2.20 and earlier causes reboot to twrp for me.
Edit: It works after edit fstab, format data and boots
Anyone? Please help.Same happened to me (Mi8), but didn't format.
I'm pretty sure in MIUI11 this worked without formatting data.
Is there any way to enable encryption without format?
Is the procedure shown below still actual with MIUI12?
/system/vendor/etc/fstab.qcom" then change "[...] /data [...] encryptable=ice,quota" to "[...] fileencryption=ice,quota"
You need to format data in order encrypt process start. We all tested that before. No way to turn aroundAnyone? Please help.
Even if it means formatting, could somebode veryfy the validity of the quoted procedure? Thank you.
So you Format Data and what else is left to do after installing eu.rom and Magisk? How can I activate the encryption, so that it sticks? Who has done it and succeeded and if so how?You need to format data in order encrypt process start. We all tested that before. No way to turn around
Everything is explained along this thread.So you Format Data and what else is left to do after installing eu.rom and Magisk? How can I activate the encryption, so that it sticks? Who has done it and succeeded and if so how?
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for explaining. That sounds reasonable.Everything is explained along this thread.
After any rom update you have to flash forceencript.zip file again to modify Fstab.
BUT!
Did you try this official TWRP: It might support encryption.

You can, first, test this "new" TWRP. no risk to format your phone testing it.Thank you for explaining. That sounds reasonable.
I would like to hear from someone first hand though what works and what not.
My setup takes some time and I do not want to ruin it for nice to have encryption that does not work in the end.
Thanks! Ah, that explains why you are guessing.You can, first, test this "new" TWRP. no risk to format your phone testing it.
Then up to you to decide for your safety....
I have left the subject, open for my MI8SE I don't have anymore ('given to a family relative).
I repeat, again:Thanks! Ah, that explains why you are guessing.
Tell me one thing: if I test the encryption on twrp and it did NOT work, my data-partition will be lost also. Right?
Maybe someone go first, who still owns it.
Thank you for the many ways. The methods of installing twrp is not my point. I will manage that. But the "test" encryption done by it.I repeat, again:
If you flash, boot, try TWRP it will not change, touch, erase or modify anything else in the phone.
Try to boot it first before installing it:
- fastboot boot "twrpname".img 'that will keep previous one in place.
OR
Flash it as image via your installed twrp and test if it encrypts at reboot. (should ask for your pin.
sorry! it is about MIX2S.Thank you for the many ways. The methods of installing twrp is not my point. I will manage that. But the "test" encryption done by it.
If the system later struggles with it, that would be a potential loss, I guess?
So who has his mi mix 2S installation encrypted and how safely, that is my question.
No Problem. The site twrrp.me is off course the place to go as source for recovery ;o)sorry! it is about MIX2S.
Take this TWRP to test and not MI8 I suggested because I stayed on MI8 thread.
