Hello to everyone, it is 8 month now that I use my Xiaomi 14 pro with unlocked bootloader, TWRP and Magisk installed. Beside that I didn't set any password on lock screen, it ask me when I enter in recovery, and because I don't know any code, I just cancel and of course, the sdcard is encrypted.
It didn't disturbed me too much until that Revolut wasn't working anymore. I wiped all data, I made a factory reset and re-installed TWRP on fastboot mode, but again it ask me the password to decrypt the sdcard. I cannot even plug on USB stick, the device doesn't see it.
I am stuck, I bought the phone in Hong Kong, Bootloader was unlocked remotely from technician, ROM installed is the last stable XIAOMI.EU, TWRP 28.1, how to do a very deep clean installation?
 
I ffed up my phone, after hours I at least have TWRP (14) running, (both a/b) but I when a want to install ANY shennong/dev rom. It gives me errors (sideload/otg/phone) but it doesnt say WHAT error.

Is above mentioned 'A15' twrp compatible with a Xiaomi 14 Pro? Mind you, I still cant install a rom.
 
Okay, any advice which ROM to install after?, without losing (images, dcim, whatsapp etc...)
I have downlaoded:
xiaomi.eu_SHENNONG_OS1.0.24.7.28.DEV_14.zip
xiaomi.eu_SHENNONG_OS1.0.24.5.6.DEV_14.zip
xiaomi.eu_SHENNONG_OS1.0.50.0.UNBCNXM_14.zip <- not tried yet.
 
I don't understand your thought process. I don't understand why you mention the dead branch DEV. ROM or such an old Stable ROM.
If you have xiaomi.eu ROM on your mobile, update via fastboot. And install the current ROM.
 
I don't like updating my phone, (if it ain't broken, don't fix it) its always a shitfest. I usually don't update... ever.
I was hoping to just reinstall existing twrp and existing rom. Currently installing the 2.0 rom. Fingers crossed.

But thank you for your help!
 
xiaomi.eu_SHENNONG_OS2.0.206.0.VNBCNXM_15.zip <- wont install (twrp & otg) after a second, Im back into twrp. So no installing happened. Perhaps try flashing via fastboot?
 
read again what I wrote
I did. Several times. Trust me, I'm trying!

"If you have xiaomi.eu ROM on your mobile, update via fastboot. And install the current ROM."

• I currently don't have a xiaomi.eu ROM on my phone.... or any rom. So what/how should I update then?
• "And install the current ROM"... I don't have a current rom on my phone?

I can only install a new/fitting rom?
 
And what ROM do you have on your phone when you say you want to UPDATE without losing data?
You can also install a new ROM without updating, but you will lose your data.
Installing with Fastboot:
  • Download Xiaomi.eu ROM zip file
  • Extract the ROM zip to a new folder
  • Power off your device
  • Boot your device in Fastboot mode (Hold volume down + power buttons)
  • Connect to PC via USB cable
  • Run one of the installation scripts (according to your PC operating system):
    - install_and_format_data - with data wipe, if you're flashing Xiaomi.eu ROM for the first time or downgrading.
    - install_upgrade - without data wipe, if you're updating from an older Xiaomi.eu ROM.
  • Done!
