Will offically unlocking bootloader of Redmi 3S wipe the internal storage or not using Mi Unlock tool? Please reply as I don't want to get my internal storage and current state wiped.
No, it doesn't. However, you should always make a backup before carrying out any major operation. You never know.

no it doesn't wipe internal as in official unlocking process
So, I flashed DotOS v3.0, but I had to format data in TWRP to remove encryption. But I didn't take a backup as flashing custom ROMs never required to backup internal storage. There were some pictures that I lost. I came across this method and I wonder if it works on Zenfone 3 ZE520KL?

Please help me. I need to know if there's a way.
Hello everyone,
How I can decrypt mi 9t with global/eea ROM?
Which recovery I have to use?
And what steps should I do?
Thanks
Simply remove your lockscreen security. Once you done tbat, encryption is gone. However, if you factory reset while you still had encryption (lock screen security) you have no other alternative than wiping your internal storage.

Youre wrong. If You remove lockscreen security Your data is still encrypted. You can check it in Settings,Addatoonal Settings,privacy,encrypt phone.
Only way to remove it is format data but beckup Your data first to computer or USB drive otg.
I'm currently using the 4pda twrp and formating Data does NOT decrypt the Partition for some reason. I even got the xiaomi.eu and havocOS working in encrypted Mode before. Ist there anything I am Missing / can decryption bei done manually? I dont want to run into problems later on.
Hi
I was trying to flash xiaomi.eu (xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK20MI9T_V12.5.2.0.RFJCNXM_v12-11) custom rom to my Mi 9T device via TWRP recovery
I booted into recovery then I noticed TWRP isn't asking for a password for decryption
So dumb me ignored it and "Advance Wiped" all partitions except "Internal Memory" and flashed the rom from "USB OTG"
then problems started to appear
first the rom didn't boot and was stuck in a boot loop
so I wiped and reflashed the original "miui_DAVINCIGlobal_V12.1.4.0.RFJMIXM_e0ac13ed89_11.0" rom via TWRP from "USB OTG" to be able to back up my files and do a proper format/decrypt
but the internal storage is now still encrypted and cannot be accessed
I tried twrp decrypt command with all combinations of passwords pins pattern numbers that I used since first bought the phone but none of them worked
I know I should have backed up my files
Now I want to know how can decrypt /data/media/0 aka /sdcard aka Internal Memory and get my files
like mounting it in windows through some adb and other software and decrypting with known key combinations and passwords
or through twrp or whatever that maybe work
I really can't afford to lose my data AGAIN
yes, that wasn't my first time!!!!!
I promise if this gets right I devote the rest my life to the open-source community
excuse me for my bad English.
When flashing a custom ROM, or going back from, you HAVE to Format (not just Wipe) Data
(And you don't need to wipe System because new ROM will overwrite it anyway, and you better never wipe Persist and so)
Obviously, you must backup your photos, data, etc, before switching the ROM
Data on Internal memory is encrypted, and not by your unlock pin (unlock pin just serves to verify and read the key).
New ROM reinitializes the encryption key
Hence, AFAIK, you cannot decrypt anymore because you don't know the encryption key that was used for data on your Internal memory
Seems you have similar problem as I have

ok
a question
why the twrp was not asking for decryption in first place?

No idea - ask devs of your custom ROM how they implement encryption and what is the proper way to install the ROM
Hi,
This is a continuation of my errands in magisk-support-2661and magisk-support-2662. I'm interested in the twrp aspect here, hopefully someone who knows twrp welll reads this.
Basically this is a Redmi 7A phone with stock MIUI 10.2.5 and twrp 3.3.1. Phone got messed after updating Magisk to latest version, and while trying to fix it i accidentally wiped data from within twrp. It says this preserves internal storage so I thought this would be ok, but internal storage is encrypted on this device and after doing this i can't access my files from twrp anymore (before it used to ask for my pattern). Files are still there encrypted, and looks like keys are still there in /data/misc so I guess all hope is not lost.
Any ideas on how twrp Wipe data functionality is supposed to work on encrypted storage devices, and how to get one's files back afterwards ?
Help appreciated before i mess things up further =)

Before you wiped data, was TWRP able to decrypt? able to view what you call internal storage?

Yes, it asked for my pattern and was able to decrypt the files.
