For some reason I can't uncrypt data
I even tried disabling face unlock, set up a password instead of a pin, but I am stuck and can't wipe data
How to fix this?
MIUI 14 MIUI 14 STABLE RELEASE

- Start date

How to fix this?
Did you recently install this ROM first time - you had to Format Data (not Wipe, but Format)
Or maybe you did something by TWRP that deleted the FBE (File Base Encryption) keys - or something else affected them
You will have to Format Data from TWRP
If Boot was patched by Magisk, Magisk would recreate itself on reboot (maybe on the second reboot, on first reboot Android must set up itself). Formatting Data does not affect Boot partition (Magisk patch) but it deletes Magisk setup at /data/adb
But you would need to install all apps again, including the Magisk app (and all modules)
That's really strange - is this the TWRP installed by Xiaomi.eu itself? Did you install correct ROM for your device (does Xiaomi.eu work for itself)?

You can try this 4 possibilities:
- in TWRP click on "Mount" and then "Decrypt Data" insert your PIN and check if the Data is decrypted and try again to format
- in TWRP click on "Advanced" and then "File Manager" search for "data/system" and delete the file "locksettings.db" reboot to recovery and try again to format
- use MiFlash to install original ROM and install all from Scratch
- try to use fastboot with the format-script

Update: I solved the decryption (I'm not sure, though) rebooting to system and removing every face/fingerprint data + activating usb debugging and oem unlocking on developer options. Problem is I am still stuck with this

I followed your instructions, but it keeps asking for a password I don't have, since I removed every kind of lock on my phone, when trying to decrypt data via "mount" menu.
I can't find locksettings.db on data/system:

you cantfind it coz it is not decrypted. try to set a PIN - 4 digits and try this again
- in TWRP click on "Mount" and then "Decrypt Data" insert your PIN and check if the Data is decrypted and try again to format
New pin set, but still not working
Edit: I somehow managed to get access to data/system and deleted locksettings.db, but after reboot to recovery I still can't format data since twrp is asking for a password

ok so one step after the other ...
- reboot to twrp and delete the "data/system/locksettings.db"
- start the system and set a PIN - 4 digits
- reboot to recovery / TWRP
- if it is asking for a PIN -> insert the 4-digits
- in TWRP click on "Mount" and then "Decrypt Data" insert your PIN and check if the Data is decrypted and try again to format
If all this will not work:
- use MiFlash to install original ROM and install all from Scratch
- try to use fastboot to install xiaomi.eu rom with windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat

Do you mean I need to install official MIUI 14 and then xiaomi.eu rom with .bat?- try to use fastboot to install xiaomi.eu rom with windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat

I tried to directly install latest xiaomi.eu rom with this step, but I still have the encryption issue with TWRP. It keeps saying "Unable to mount storage"

Is your device Xiaomi 11 Pro/Ultra (star)? Looks like you are using the wrong TWRP.
According to the pictures you showed, it looks like you are using the TWRP for a lower version of android.
Install the current TWRP for that device and android version.
TWRP designed for STAR/Android 13

Unfortunately, KernelSU is not compatible with the Xiaomi.eu (14.0.12) Stable.on Lisa - screenshot
Actually, I've tried already months ago, so I asked you about you (hoping that maybe KSU now supports a border range of kernels), but it still complains that QKI kernel is not supported (probably you have GKI kernel on your device)

There's something wrong with the encryption on TWRP that I don't know about. This happened in RedmiNote7 (Lavender). And I had to switch to OrangeFox without encountering any passwords. But I'm not sure OrangeFox is available for your phone model. And I'm not sure if OrangeFox is really more secure than TWRP. But it's worth a try if OrangeFox is available for your phone model.

I had problems with that before. With ditting it helped before upgrading I did remove the password protection completely!
Hello
I managed to fix the initial issues and to install the latest rom, but I am facing two major issues/bugs now:
1. Messages by Google app is not reading my SMSes, even though Xiaomi Messaging app is
2. The UI for some reason loses gestures and forces me to use buttons
Has anyone faced this before? How to fix these issues?

1. You must set up default SMS app to Google Messages.
2. Go to option and enable Gesture.
I am not sure if you're serious.
If that's the case, I already tried those steps

- clear the all data of the Messages app- do not launch the application!
- go to permissions and enable everything
- set app as default
- run the app and follow the instructions in it.

Gestures are part of the MIUI Launcher, a stupid decision by Xiaomi, but that's how it is.
This means that if you use a third-party Launcher, the gestures will not work.
