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, ive been wondering why all those roms folks put out are unable to encrypt the /data partition.
Any rom i tried so far is soft rebooting after i invoked the encryption option. No encyption happening at all.
And if i do it manually via adb shell > su # vdc cryptfs enablecrypto wipe password somethingpw
I sort of soft brick the device boot until i whipe the data partion via twrp.
Thereof i am wondering why its broken in the first place and if theres a chance if folk will fix this over time or any 3rd Party Roms will be stuck w/o a chance to encrypt personal data.

I was facing issues with my LOS 15.1, afaik unencrypted. Then I flash stock Oreo Feb using Mi Flash tool, with option 'clean all and lock'. Then I root it with magisk and flash LOS 15.1. The next thing I know, my phone is encrypted

Did you dirty flash or whipe the installed OS?

Clean install, i.e. wipe all.

Thank You, for confirming that Encryption works, i was almost at the verge of returning the phone.
Got it to work now.
....
The tldr of all i tested and messed around with is:
If you whipe Data trough twrp, with the special dialog where you have to type in YES. which folk reccomend to use to remove encryption,
will mean you brick the encryption and requires a re-flashing of the stock rom.
Secondly if you only go into advanced whipe, Art, System and data and then install a rom, it should say 'decrypted with default password'
Which is a dead give away that encryption might going to work just fine, rebooted into bootloader w/o into system, installed gapps pico, (eeh) and magisk, which also mentioned something about encryption as the log ran trough. Then rebooted into system, and now it says encrypted. And i can set up a boot pin/password before it fully boots. GREAT!
Soo.... If it says decrypted and won't encrypt, you have to flash stock, check its encrypted. Then install costum rom without removing encryption.
Once you removed it, its back to stock rom for new a /data setup/encryption.
I'm sorry if this is posted again but I can't find anything about my problem.
My Mi A1 in unrooted.
I had installed gcam without rooting it to continue receiving OTA, after the latest update I wanted to disable gcam. During the process the application unlocked the bootloader but didnt lock it again.
When I disabled it after the reboot my phone did a factory reset and enrypted itself. I want to decrypt my phone so I used some ways I found on the internet like:
Simple factory reset.
Locked bootloader.
Factory reset again, even though after the lock it did it itself.
Flashed fastboot stock rom.
Flashed twrp read only, wiped system and flashed fastoboot stock rom again!
Still the phone forced encrypt itself after every way I tried:
For gcam I used this way: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585
I didn't check the thread because I already had the app to do the installation.
For fastboot installation I used this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
EDIT: What if I unlock the bootloader with MiUnlock and relock it via fastboot?
Phone is encrypted by default. Why would you want to have it decrypted? But if you insist.. you have to install magisk, disable forced encryption and reformat data partition in TWRP.
Locking or unlocking the bootloader after May update wipes your data, this is normal for Android and now our phones.
Encryption is default, it would have been encrypted before the wipe as it is now after the wipe, why do you want it unencrypted?

Thank you very much, I never experienced this again after unlocking so I thought it was because of the encrypt, I hadn't checked if it was encrypted before the wipe and I assumed it wasn't.

I didn't know the phone was encrypted by default.
Thank you for the possible way though.
Yeah, it is encrypted by default and hw encryption is used. So don't think that it can affect your performance in any way.

After reformatting data partition, do I need to do anything else?

Keep Magisk installed, otherwise it will probably get encrypted again by stock boot image. Not sure, I didn't try it.. I want my data secure.
Hi guys
I currently have stock encryption on my phone and running lineageos 16. I want to trebleize my phone. On one thread it says that I should format data to remove encryption but on others it doesn't say to.
Can anyone confirm that I have to remove my encryption?
Thanks
Yes, you should format data via TWRP to remove encryption
Device Encryption
good afternoon guys I need help with my redmi note 7, I already did the unlock but I can not install twrp, when I do the installation and boot, go to the encryption password screen, so that does not recognize my password and can not undo The encryption, my note 7 was with version 10.3.6 EEA, I installed the Global version 10.3.10 and still did not remove the encryption, already updated to the latest version and does not work.
I can't undo device encryption and install twrp .. I did all the procedures I found and it didn't work.
It seems like even if it says not enough space, data has been transferred to SD though
i think you have to format data partition
u need to factory reset from twrp NOTE , there is a difference between formating the data partition and factory reseting to remove encryption
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
