That was going to be my next suggestion. Flashing the stock rom usually fixes everything except for the rollback protection problem. For Magisk, it's usually necessary to boot the rom only first, then go back to TWRP & flash Magisk.

Is the rom the only thing you're flashing, or are you also flashing Magisk?

I have not. The method will work for any SD phone, I believe, you just need someone to figure out the necessary changes. I've seen it done with numerous devices over the years. I have a Mi 9 Pro, which is SD855, so I'm kinda tempted to try, although I only need band 20 when traveling.

Not true. It's a software limitation that can be removed by flashing a modified driver configuration with the QPST tool. https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/enable-4g-4-5g-carrier-aggregation-mi9-t3977213

It relocks the bootloader, and if you've flashed an older rom you'll be bricked (assuming your device has rollback protection).

Format data and remove encryption.

That's what I also found. Various links, but all pointing to LR Team or the other one (Turkish?). Neither can decrypt the storage.

That's what I mean. It's not like it used to be on older devices where you could simply restore /system & /data. You now have to wipe, flash /system, then restore /data. A simple restore no longer works.

They don't support it either.

Please link directly. I don't see a version for crux.

I've never been able to successfully restore from TWRP on a Xiaomi phone, official or otherwise. Generally speaking, there should be no real need anyway, just back up your apps with Titanium, and there aren't even that many apps where you really need the data, the app itself can be restored...

If you successfully dirty flashed from OTG, what's the problem? You don't need TWRP to decrypt the data, just reboot, the ROM can do the decryption.

That's like all the others, it tells you which LTE band you're currently connected on, not what bands the phone is capable of.

Is there an app which will indicate which bands are activated on the phone?

This is why I didn't bother to try it this way. If decryption isn't supported, how can TWRP write the /system partition, even if it can read the ROM from OTG?

I've been wondering about this too. I think it means that the app itself is not requesting that permission, which probably means that it doesn't ever require location while not open. All the home automation apps are just clients anyway that work through servers (well, almost all), so the app...

Turn encryption off. Boot to TWRP->Advanced->RM Forceencrypt->Uncheck Remove DMVerity and check Remove Forceencrypt. Format data. Install ROM. Boot to System. Reboot to TWRP. Install Magisk. The only drawback is that OTA updates won't work (not an issue anyway if you're running the final...

No problem. I know how stressful it is when you think you've screwed up your phone.

Nice! Were you able to flash TWRP now?
