MIUI 12.3 20.12.9/10

Of course it removes it, just as it says. After you reinstall though it encrypts again and you cannot decrypt in TWRP so if you need to use it you will have to format again... I am not sure why it stopped working but some other user suggested that Xiaomi changed something and now it is impossible for TWRP to detect that the partition is encrypted.

I had a similar problem on an RN7. After the update I wanted to switch from Orange Fox Rec. to TWRP. But here was always required a password to decrypt, although none was available. Even after repeated format Data nothing changed. Only when I am back to Orange Fox, I could use the recovery again normally. I would try it in your place with another Recovery?

I tried them all with exactly the same results unfortunately including Orange Fox.

Therefore I do not really understand the relevance of formatting if the installation takes care of the preparations anyway. Surely it is introducing something which is not necessary, (unless the developers say that you need to do it every week).

Taken from FAQs on the official TWRP website:
"If you're installing a nightly* update, then oftentimes you don't need to wipe anything at all. However, if you encounter strange behavior, then you may want to consider performing a factory reset."
*Presumably similar for weekly

The devices I purchase usually have the global ROM installed. When switching to the EU, they only start after a format data. Therefore, I also apply it to other startup problems or after many FC's to eliminate errors. Perhaps a factory reset would also suffice, I can also test times.

According to the official TWRP FAQs, you only really need to do a Factory reset if you encounter any 'strange behaviour'. Otherwise you shouldn't need to do anything (unless the developers recommend it). This means that data remains, and your files are not deleted. Likewise, if you need to do a Factory reset (within TWRP), then your files still remain intact; and the system starts from scratch.

This is all true, I had encountered strange behaviour as there was a slowdown and quite less available RAM than usual and when I investigated in TWRP there were quite a few errors in the logs. That is why I resorted to formatting DATA to start from scratch instead of factory reset.

Again from FAQs on the official TWRP website:
"Depending on your device and its configuration, you may have options for wiping internal storage, external storage, sd-ext, android_secure, and/or an option for formatting data. There's almost no reason that you would ever need to use these items."

Unfortunately some people are using (and being told to use) some of these more obscure methods, and ending up in quite a mess, having to seek help to sort themselves out, as can regularly be seen here.
Often, the simplest solution is the best.

Severe battery drain on Mi 9

I skipped previous version because of that issue and straight on to this version (dirty). Haven't noticed that much of a difference.

gingko redmi note 8, first time (!) "random reboot" - found phone asking for sim pin after pulling out of pocket today.
Did nothing special before. Stable since then. Have no idea, but think worth to mention here...

Hi, thank you very much for the rom.
I am using Mi 10 Pro. After using this rom for almost a week there are 2 problems as below:

1. Google Map after using it for navigation can not use the gestures to exit the apps. You need to lock and unlock the phone to re-use the gestures to exit the apps.
2. If you turn off your phone and using the cable to charge it. Once you power up the phone again it will boot up but after a few seconds it will turn off again, need to remove the cable to power on the phone.

 

[jwaiwit]

Same question as Nostromoito , I am using the stable 12.0.7 Xiaomi.eu rom on my MI 10T Pro and, as it is written in the changelog "Optimization - Added support for Mi 10T Pro (apollopro, same ROM as apollo)", I would like to know if I can safely use the rom xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK30SUltra_MI10T_20.12.9_v12-10, after "Format Data = Yes" of course

No deep sleep issue, please stay tuned

1. Same here

Are you sure the phone rebooted? Maybe the SIM got bad contact for a sec in the holder. I have disabled my SIM PIN so I cannot look out for this, but I haven't come across any random reboots yet.

Can only tell that I was asked to input PIN for both SIMs and for login (fingerprint didn't work). So I think yes it was a reboot - ''uptime' is now about 20 hours which also would prove me right, as I didn't reboot the phone since last update.

There is a problem on latest update 20.12.9 for Redmi note 8 and 7 with decryption in twrp , probably xiaomi changed some "keys" and decryption brakes ..
At this situation , ginkgo and lavender users can only go back to previous rom version by formatting data of course , it's the only way to had decryption back ..
And after that they have to wait for a new twrp because next rom will update to A11 and it's unknown how the twrp will perform ..
Or else users have to stay with latest 20.12.9 rom and update via OTG or external sd card since we have a new twrp for those devices ..

Since now all known custom recoveries tested on ginkgo and lavender faced the same issue with broken decryption , even after formatting data with latest 20.12.9 , when you enter again to any twrp the storage will be encrypted again ..

Yes then it rebooted. We should keep an eye for it then.

Absolutely. If a Factory reset cannot sort things out, then it is only right that other methods be used.

Thanks pointing this out.
Same apply to Redmi 8 OFFICIAL twrp doesn't decrypt as it was on previous EU stable update.
That"s a shame to deliver as "official release" such non verified job.
solved using Ofox release and installed it via OTG or fastboot.

Can you decrypt with Orange Fox? I wasn't able to.

Mi 10 Ultra: when entering gallery full screen mode on certain apps (like Amazon Photos), full screen back gesture not working, it's used as next picture.

Is there ANY way that ginkgo or lavender can use the current ROM? Is there a workaround (like we have found for umi)? Or is the only currently known solution to go back to the previous week's ROM (with its associated complications)? If there is no solution (or workaround), then maybe the developers need to put a note in post #2 to this effect, and maybe even withdraw this week's ROM for them.

It's not like umi here ..
The only workaround now for those who flashed 20.12.9 is updating via OTG or external sd card until new twrp with working decryption released ..
If they are lucky and a new twrp solve the decryption issue without need a format data i don't know , but at most of those cases ( especially on lavender and ginkgo because faced same decryption issues before 5-6 months ) needs format data unfortunately..
Especially for lavender previous decryption issue comes with version 20.3.5 and caused because xiaomi updates keymaster ( km4.mbn ) , but after updating twrp the format data was mandatory ..

YES!
it"s a family surrounding phone and I wasn't able to install latest EU stable OTA because official recovery failed to decrypt.
Just download Ofox latest release and install the zip via OTG or External SDcard. You can also unzip the package and boot or flash recovery.img via fastboot.
Anyway best is to remove password pin in order to try before with official reco, but didn't work for my case.
Come back if any issue.

So this has happened before? Great job Xiaomi...
Thank you for the information.
