I have unlocked bootloader, official OrangeFox recovery, and Magisk installed. I'm currently on stable global MIUI (stock 10.3.6.0 PFGMIXM).
When I flashed OrangeFox and Magisk, I had the encryption issue in which the device asks for a non-existent password and I had to wipe data.
Will flashing an official update through OrangeFox or TWRP produce the same issue? Or can I just dirty-flash it normally?

Dirty flash the update shouldn't cause any issues. Remember to flash again magisk after the rom.

I would format data one time only, then reinstall ROM. Shouldn't have any password asked from then on.

I assumed you would tell me it was not really an OrangeFox-related question, but a general Lavender one; or you would just link me to the README file.
Could I get an answer if I asked in the official OrangeFox thread?

Well, you have already been given the answer. You only needed to format data once (and, yes, that is a general lavender issue). Flashing an updated ROM should not require formatting data. Of course if you flash a custom ROM that uses a different encryption protocol, you will need to format data again (ditto if you want to return to MIUI from a custom ROM).

Hey there,
I am unable to root my 3S prime, it has latest stock MIUI global version.
After I flash latest twrp, it ask for decryption password. And there's nothing I can do about it. (Clean fastboot install is the same)
Is there another way?
Or maybe I can bake that rom prerooted. (Little guide?) Thanks
Sorry, If it is somewhere already. I used only google search last night.

There is encryption problem just go to wipe and format data using twrp and the encryptoin problem will be solved but your internal will wipe completely in this process. After that root the miui through twrp flash

Should be working with fastboot, since the TWRP doesn't have treble necessary add one to flash treble ROMs.

You sure? Have you tried? One of the dev here in forum tried to compile a rom but failed. As the dev observed, the problem is rn7 system partition is in system_root/system and not in /system. This might cause major issue
UPDATE: I tried installing GSI images Pixel Experience and PHH's GSI through fastboot. No go. Now I am wondering , what's the point of treble in this device?

Yea, why would you say that? You just need to factory reset and then flash a system image to the system partition.
Is the system partition not listed when you switch over to the image installer section?

Can you share your procedure, twrp if not flashed in fastboot rom version, device storage and ram? I have tried few gsi images but not successful.
Can you also share bugs you encountered?
Any updates?

I ended up buying a Redmi Note 7 Pro (Chinese variant). I'm unlocking the bootloader in about 3 hours here.
Successfully installed ASOP GSI on my redmi note 7 pro
Steps:
1)Install TWRP
2)Wipe Cache , Data , Dalvik Cache
3) Reboot to recovery
4) Install GSI
5) Reboot to recovery
6) Format Data
7) Reboot to system.
I am sick of this encryption thingy everytime I want to flash a rom on 6t, sometimes it works sometimes it's triggered even if I follow twrp tutorial.
Lately I flashed omnirom, but it encrypted slot B, I rebooted to slot A in recovery and Oos booted.
So it looks like slot B is still encrypted while A is running great and rooted with magisk.
Should I decrypt slot B or it's useless as long as I won't flash a new rom?
So did you managed to flash omnirom or not?

Nop
Tried a second time but it will trigger encryption again following twrp first post tutorial. It's weird because it worked in the past with other aosp roms. Perhaps Omnirom dev forgot to add A6010 as compatible 6t?

Try to install without rebooting on twrp in between..
Flash rom
Flash twrp installer (DON'T reboot on twrp)
Wipe data
Flash gapps
Flash magisk
Reboot

Ok I will try.
And what is the way back? Last time I went back to oos from aosp it encrypted both slots, I had to use unbriking tool that wipes the whole phone

If both slots are encrypted you can maybe put the oos rom and a magisk zip on a otg storage to flash it via twrp
Let me know if it works also. I had same problem, the only way I was able to recover was to fastboot flash ops to phone.

Do you have 6010 variant?
Okay so I've tried Pixel experience, lineage os , omni rom treskmod and couple of other custom android 10 roms, all stable and official and also updated ones, the wifi just simply doesn't work, wifi hotspot won't turn on either. I've tried every solution on the internet. I've even factory reset my phone using msm download tool and no luck(did this countless times).
I'm back in OOS 10.3.2 and there's no issue apparently.
At one point , i flashed a custom rom and the wifi didn't work, so I flashed OOS in the two slots and checked , the wifi works in OOS apparently, and never in custom roms.
Has anyone got this issue before and knows a solution?

I flash OOS and twrp on both slots, reboot recovery,
And then flash the rom and twrp, reboot recovery,then format data and factory reset, reboot recovery, if needed for some gapps, then reboot system

That's a lot of unnecessary steps. OOS on both slots, reboot to bootloader, boot twrp, format data and flash the custom rom, reboot bootloader, boot twrp and flash gapps, don't install twrp permanently if you are not going to install Magisk.

I need magisk too, I usually permanently install twrp
Also you think it's the way I'm installing at fault here? Or the rom? Or is it something wrong with my device?

I always install roms with the procedure i said above and have never had any problems.

Alright so got one doubt, I used OOS 10.3.2 to flash, should it be oos 10.0 only?
Thought that didn't make a difference.
I am also facing the same issue. Were you able to find any solution ?
So I found out treskmod omni rom and Paranoid android quartz 2 work perfectly , try those out, it still doesn't solve the problem in the other roms though. So not exactly a solution.
I have a Redmi Note 7.
I flashed orange fox recovery.
Then I flashed Lineage OS with LazyFlasher. The Rom flashed easily but LazyFlasher didn't flash.
It shows the following error:
[Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error installing ZIP file '/sdcard/lazyflasher-kernel-flasher.zip' ]
Now if I reboot it will say data is encrypted and ask for a password.
(I know this because I tried once and faced the issue)
I downloaded the LazyFlasher file from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...zip-lazyflasher-tool-flashing-custom-t3549210
Please help.
Thank you.

Because I flashed only Lineage OS before and when I reboot it asked for a password. And when I booted to recovery it said data is encrypted.
Lazy Flasher prevents storage from getting encrypted, right??
Anyways I couldn't use my phone so I flashed the stock rom.
Thanks for your reply.

You should never flash any lazy flasher (or any DFE) on lavender.
What you needed to do after flashing LOS (which uses different encryption from MIUI) was to format your data partition, and then reboot to system and allow LOS to encrypt (when booting for the first time) using its own encryption protocols. All this is very well documented on this forum, and is very well documented in the OrangeFox thread.
