Custom rom with encrypted partition - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hey
1) Will the ROMs for Redmi Note 7 work on Redmi Note 7s?
2) Is there a custom ROM with encrypted partition available for Redmi Note 7s?
If not, then can I encrypt the partition with a custom ROM? I won't be using TWRP for anything apart from installing ROMs and thus, after installation of it, I will have no use of TWRP.
Please help!!
Thanks.

1) these roms are made for lavender. AFAIK, 7S is a lavender so it'd be okay.
2) Umm, every rom is encrypted. if not you won't be able to use fingerprint or any form of security on your phone. sometimes it might fail to encrypt (don't ask me why, it's a special "feature" of our lavender). check this thread if it happens.
Good luck!

hm2014811 <-> wt88047 - I don't understand it

Hi,
I already read multiple threads which are somehow related to this issue, but I still don't really understand it:
What is hm2014811 and what is wt88047? Where is the difference? Really different devices? Or somehow Android 4 and 5? It would be great if someone could explain all the details (or direct me to some page/thread where it is explained). Is it important which TWRP version to use?
Here someone asks I have a HM2014811 does exist a way to install a WT88047 rom?
But I got a used Redmi 2 2014811 with 1 GB RAM, too, and can only install wt88047 roms, as it seems. Previously I had some MIUI 8.3 and it was too slow. Currently I'm trying Lineage OS 14.1. Could it be that all of them are designed for 2 GB RAM?
I have TWRP 3.0.2 from here.
I'd like to go back to Android 4, to see if the device gets faster. However, it tells me that the ROMs are for hm2014811 and I have a wt88047!
Since some threads seem to tell me that installing a different TWRP would change the device type, I tried to install this older TWRP 2.8.7.2. However, it doesn't boot. It stays at the "MI" in the center, and while that's still shown, I can access fastboot and install the above 3.0.2 again, which works.
Any explanations, suggestions? What clean and fast Rom should I install on my 1 GB device, and how?
Thanks a lot,
Alex
[SOLUTION] - for error hm2014811
Hello,
Here is how it works:
Use this TWRP image: twrp-3.3.1-0-wt88047.img
Flash the recovery image like so:
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-wt88047.img
3. fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-wt88047.img
4. Wait as the phone reboots into the newly flashed TWRP recovery
5. in TWRP recovery on the phone go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and enable it
on the PC run:
adb sideload lineage-15.1-20200119-nightly-wt88047-signed.zip
Good luck!

Encryption & Decryption

Hii all
This thread regarding getting knowledge about encryption in custom roms
1.Currently is there any Recoveries can able to force encrypt rom ( even though rom didn't have encryption support)
Or is there any other way ?
2.actually flashing an custom rom from an miui roms doesn't need an internal storage wipe
In all MM, N, O roms
But now many roms asking for a password to start Android or to decrypt
Which we can only do that by formatng the internal
3.So is there any way that i can use miui and pie roms side by side without loosing internal
Bia any special recovery like that? Is there any way
Or should i have to wait for devs give support for encryption for piee roms?
4.and I Don't know why official twrp. 3.2.3 asking a password to decrypt phone (means format internal)
To use official twrp
Which is not required till 3.2.1 Twrps
I'll be happy if any dev or anyone having knowledge about this can answer my questions
Note :
Some questions may dumb for u
Then U can give the correct info to me
Thanks

What TWRP version should I use?

Hi guys, I have 2 more weeks of waiting until I can unlock my bootloader.
I don't even want to flash a new rom (since debloating MIUI 10 seems pretty fine to me) but I want to root it, therefor I need TWRP (also thinking about flashing the xiaomi.eu rom since I can update it via TWRP as well).
Long story short: what TWRP version is the current one (functional and not in chinease) since there is nothing available on twrp.me and I'm not really sure what's up.
Thank you so much for your reply! Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
You can use the one made by josalaito, you can find it in the ROMs section. Or you can use the one in the Xiaomi.EU official page. There's not much to choose from, to be honest.

Thanks! I will give it a shot, since there is no official option available
TWRP 3.2.3-0217 [CN] by LR Team is the most functional at the moment.

Don't hurry up, wait untill you unlock the bootloader. You may get more stable TWRP version.
I have downloaded several 'beta' recovery images. 2 different versions of wzsx150, OrangeFox and TWRP. None of them are working with 'fastboot boot recovery.img' After the successful upload, I get a redmi starting screen, nothing else. Is it working for you?
What happens if I upload a bad recovery. Do I have the possibility to overwrite it again with an other file? Does the stock ROM include the recovery?
Thanks for help!

I tried ln team recovery but I just flashed it.I booted to recovery from fastboot(by holding vol up and power till Redmi logo appears than just the vol up button).
I changed the language to English,than went to Advanced tab.There you will find forceencrpt and dm verity disabler.Select both of them and swipe the confirm button.
After that I recommend keeping Magisk 19.0 zip on sd card or internal storage.Flash it and you are rooted.
Your whole data would be erased of course.

Question about vbmeta

Hello!
Just unlocked my mi 9t and installed magisk. So far it's working great but I really want to try a custom rom because I don't really like miui.
Now I came from a oneplus 3t that has simple zip files to install roms. Now I see for this device you have gsi roms. My question is do I need to flash vbmeta and how would I go about doing that? Is it device specific? Or is the one in the xda tutorial universal?
Thanks!
They are different.
GSI are for all (or most) of devices (treble-enabled).
Zipped ROMs are device specific.
We still don't have "normal" roms because developers haven't get this phone. So, for now, we have to use GSI.
Some people think vbmeta is specific, but actually, at least for GSI roms, it's universal.
You can flash it using fastboot mode and CMD/Terminal or if TWRP allow it, flash from there.

minimal abd fastboot and smartphone in fastboot I downloaded the latest version of TWRP for Redmi Note 7
my PC recognized the smartphone normally I activated USB debugging and file transfer on the redmi note 7
installed normally but I only used it while not restarting the smartphone
Hello.
I need help, please.
I have a Redmi Note 7 and I tried to install android 13 on it using TWRP, however, I made a mistake and using TWRP I ended up formatting the entire smartphone. I can no longer use Mi-Recovery 3.0 or enter TWRP, because when I click volume up and power nothing happens and the cell phone just starts because I managed to install its original android using Mi flash.
How can I restore or install recovery mode with mi-recovery 3.0 and thus be able to install the newest versions of android?
I also wanted to know if I can install android 13 or others that were not official for my device without TWRP, mi-recovery mode, or another that depends on the commands described above, which are not working.
Thanks for the help.
