I messed up badly. Need help in reviving my Phone. - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

So I was flashing couple of custom ROMs but I didn't knew I would messed up this badly.
So here's what I did. I had older TWRP 3.0.2-0 version which was working fine. So before flashing new ROM, I decided to back up my existing MiUI8 ROM in case something goes wrong and I saved the TWRP back up in my PC.
After that I thought before flashing custom ROM why not just update the TWRP recovery since it was quite old. So I did that through fastboot method and flashed a custom ROM. It was working OK but some Banking official apps were not working so decided to flash back my old MiUi8 ROM. Now here's where I messed up. Now the TWRP asks me to enter my encryption password which I did and decided to restore my older ROM but it gave me the error that "I entered correct password but my data has been corrupted" and prompt to do a Reset. So I did that using Wipe option in TWRP and it did got booted successfully but now its showing me error
"Find device storage corrupted your device is unsafe now"
My WiFi is disabled. Please help me now. Seems I messed up badly.

Your issue is encryption issue....you need to format data from recovery.....reboot your device to recovery again and then try to restore backup.
---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------
Not 100 % guarantee but should work..
If recovered.... your good luck....if not...
Then download fastboot rom for your device and flash through mi flash tool.
Good luck....:good:

You could have saved a heck lot by just restoring your persist partition from miui backup.
Always take backup of persist, if anytime you get error with mi account or wifi bt not working, then just restore old persist and it will work like before.
Didn't see this thread first else, i could have saved your time.
Remember that for next time though.

Also, i think that you didn't backup persist while backing up miui. Since ,Your device us working now, just backup that partition, and if something like this happens again just restore it and you're done.

Howdy all!
Did you install TWRP and then take the OTA, now you can't get your phone to boot normally, but you do see TWRP?
Here's the easy fix:
If you have ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:
Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!
Let me know if this helps anyone!
As usual, I'm on #lg-g2 in Freenode as IOMonster, if I'm around I'll be happy to help wherever I can.

try holding the power buttons for ten seconds or more if it boots into twrp and then just reflash your rom?

I screwed my phone too the day after I got lol but no worries its easy to fix. You just need to download a stock ROM and flash it, you don't even lose any data.
Just follow this simple guide.

Are you touching the back screen? I noticed that it is taking input from both screens.
Amazing! I guess it does not support data partition decryption though.. Does it?! Hope to see it someday! NTFS support for OTG would be last missing thing.
Hope people will report soon if backup AND restore work fine.. I'm testing backup, but don't dare to try erase/restore! I confirm back screen controls main (reverse).
ok, full tested with backup, restore .... working great as long a the EDP screen ins't pressed ^^
Works.
Confirmed the bug with touches on e-ink display, so be carefully.
I'll make an updated version with the e-ink screen disabled.
Is encryption working?
I don't use it myself so not tested so far ^^
Côme on, be brave, test it.. ?

can't you do 2 backups one decrypted and one encrypted .... so you can test and restore ?
The data partition where backups are is what's going to be encrypted.
You didn't get the point. I never talked about encrypted backups.
I just talked about encrypted DATA PARTITION, and it's decryption in TWRP.

So make a backup > copy backup to computer > make test > if bugs then reset phone from yotaflasher, flash recovery TWRP, copy backup from computer, then restore
I had issue restoring backups and Yota flasher seem troublesome (see related thread), which means lots of time required for all that. It's the reason I don't try it.

You can make a backup prior to encrypt the data partition, move it to a usb pendrive (or make to it directly), and restore it after encrypt data partition using the format data partition option in TWRP

Maybe I missed this and didn't read well, but there is no way to dirty flash a beta over the old one without a full wipe? I'm not getting OTA since I'm rooted with TWRP. If you flash a default boot.img and recovery.img will it then take the OTA and update it?

I always use Deuce's tool. Extract all the files and run his bat file. Just select N at the end so it doesn't wipe data. That way I know both partitions are updated to the latest images and I keep all my data.

Also, you will need to reflash TWRP and Magisk afterwards

Just remove the -w from the script, I usually use Deuce though, have issue with flash all many times.
Will give it a go, and just select N on the Userdata...
EDIT: Well that's a first, used the flash-all and removed the -w and it ran fine. Miracle..has never worked, always used Deuce in the past. Whatever it takes I guess.
I know the rest of the routine for twrp and rooting. Just make sure your move pin/fingerprint...or else TWRP won't work/decrypt.
Thanks!

Well, to add. Did a dirty update. All works well, but having issues again with Magisk and failing Safetynet. I'm getting the "csProfile: false" error on the test.
Had both failures before on DP3, and the Play store services, clearing all data worked with that after a reboot. Not this trick now though. Guess others are having this as well in the other Beta thread and Substratum in this section.

Yep I flashed Magisk no problem. SafetyNet doesn't pass ctsprofile. I'm hoping a custom kernel will fix once one comes available (I use Flash Kernel).

It doesn't. I am guessing they're checking the build fingerprint now, which can't be changed with resetprop (just errors). This is expected according to their website so hopefully it will pass once the official release is out.
Android P beta devices aren't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) approved, but they have passed preliminary testing and provide the same set of APIs for developers. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds might not work normally on supported devices.

How To Avoid Breaking My Widevine L1?

Only garantie is if you don't unlock the bootloader nor mod the phone/install custom ROMS.
What causes it to break usually is if the Persist Partition get damage or even if you flash another Persist on top of the Stock from the phone.

My advice will be when you unlock and flash twrp before flashing any ROM back up you persist image to you pc or an otg drive through twrp, just click on backup in twrp select it and back it up to you internal storage and copy it to your pc or if you have otg leave it on there but copy it to your pc for backup in case something happens to your drive. 2 ROMs that causes this issues are lineage os and the pixel experience rom that what I know so far they are pretty good but before flashing it do that back up first. And the twrp, I use this one https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TSGqgarTA8yDfH0KUYSgZkGyRA_qm_vF/view it has worked in every AOSP ROM I have tried. So that how I avoid that issues hop it helps you.

me too, it also corrupted mine
I think I may have corrupted mine, I had some issues flashing a ROM yesterday, eventually got back to stock.
Just noticed I can't find Netflix on the play store, presumably I broke something.
I did do a backup yesterday after unlocking, do I just flash the persist Posey or how does this work exactly?

No flash L1 Netflix fix magisk module but check DRM to see if you have L1 already then install Netflix from here because you bootloader is unlocked Netflix doesn't show on playstore https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/themes/mod-overclock-screen-to-84hz-t3942063 if you flash persist L1 will be gone forever

It's all very confusing
I just tried the app listed here which checks and I still have L1. I'll need to root and install magisk at some point then.
With regards to the persist backup, I see some people mention a persist.img but I have no such file after my twrp backup

I think I may have corrupted mine, I had some issues flashing a ROM yesterday, eventually got back to stock.
Just noticed I can't find Netflix on the play store, presumably I broke something.
I did do a backup yesterday after unlocking, do I just flash the persist Posey or how does this work exactly?

Yes just restore the only the persist image via twrp and everything will be fine.

It's all very confusing
I just tried the app listed here which checks and I still have L1. I'll need to root and install magisk at some point then.
With regards to the persist backup, I see some people mention a persist.img but I have no such file after my twrp backup

Just copy the whole back to your phone and select restore in the twrp and select only persist
So guys will we be okay if we make a backup of persist partition for the first time we access twrp and there's no need of flashing the L1 magisk module?

Yes just make the backup so that whenever it's is corrupted you restore it and is should be fine. Don't flash any persist image before restoring it, if you do that it won't work

It looks like I scared you??,don't worry you can try them out they are good I will advise you go for the AOSP ROMs, the stock Android one but you can try the miui one but ask for instructions before you do because if you do it wrong it can cause problems

Could you upload thos three files to see if restoring them in another device will make any diffrence? maybe the keys work on devices that are shipped with L1 support.

October Security Update just released today.
Official 2020, October, MiA2 Stock fastboot ROM image V11.0.15.0.QDIMIXM link in appropriate thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83773363&postcount=144
CAPTCHA:
After clean fastboot flashing of this version with flash_all_except_data -> rebooting phone forces to stock recovery and requests factory reset.
Seems like after installing OTA possible behaviours are: either the same request for reset, or bootloop.
Reflashed back V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM in order to make data backup

nice! thanks for this!
Tried to apply update from OTA and my device failed to start, tried again and same result. Anyone else facing the same problem?
Tonight I'll try to flash full image directly.
Yes, the update seems buggy.
Even my phone was not able to start after the update.
Tried multiple times. Eventually had to factory reset it ?

same here, now I'll try to flash V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM and let's see...
*update1*
It worked, I did flash_all_except_data and at first reboot it went to recovery and it showed up the same message saying that data may be corrupt but when I tried to boot it again it worked fine... now I'll backup everything and let's see if it works well at every reboot.
*update2*
everything fine running V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM
So this is yet another botched update to skip, got it.
Thank you, brave ones who are willing to update first.
I'm just too afraid to update this device nowadays.
I had to reset device after last update this is really worst device support I had
For those who have reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM, you don't have any bootloop on androidone screen?
My wife did the update, so I reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM with flash_all_except_data but for now it still bootloop
updated successfully. there are no visible improvements

I tried unsuccessfully to reboot, Everytime showed this message, finally I accepted to erase the phone and let download the backup, I lost some downloaded stuff I may download again later.
It's an Shane this happening to Android one devices, suddenly we got from special to second class citizens
I had the same problem, which was solved for me by going into fastboot and issuing a fastboot boot recovery which for some reason returned by phone to a working state with an update failed notification. will skip this one

Hi,
All I did was go into fastboot using the power and volume shortcut, and than I connected the device to my laptop and issued the command:
fastboot reboot recovery
(naturally using the SDK Platform tools)
After that, the phone started working again. Although there is no reasonable reason it should have worked. I was surprised enough so that I decided to take the effort to create an account here and share this for others. But again, maybe it was pure luck, YMMV.
Will be crossing my fingers for you.
I've tried to update and got the "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt" messege. Tried again a few times, until the phone reverted back to the previous version and said it couldn't install the update. No October update for me. =(
