[Q] Block files access in custom recovery - is it possible?

is it possible to block adb access to phone while it is in recovery?
I mean, we've got PIN/password to protect phone, but if a hypothetical high-tech thief access recovery, he can have all files via adb, right?
Any way to block that while in a custom recovery?

Just encrypt your phone, use a different key for encryption and lockscreen and your data is safe

thanks, but is that the only way to be safe while under custom roms and recoveries?

No. Custom recovery have root access. Either flash stock or encrypt the phone

just bought Joeykrim's app and works great. Thanks for the hint.
Already keeping recovery.img and twrp.img in /sdcard so when needed I just flash twrp's.
I believe this is easier than having to encrypt all phone :good:

Maybe, give a try.. If not succeed then flash via TWRP as your Bootloader already unlocked.. But don't forget to Delete that emmc file under the folder before flashing through TWRP, Otherwise your Device get locked again & it cuz Bootloop issue.

I have flashed miui 8 global beta today with mi flash tool. Phone was offically unlocked and was running twrp 3.0 and Mokee ROM. Everything went smoothly and Yes bootloader was relocked but I used mi unlock tool again and unlocked bootloader in seconds.

I have locked bootloader, can I try it by update app?

Don't worry.. You also hv Solution for that.. If you facing Bootloop issue.. Just Put your Device into Fastboot mood again & Unlock Bootloader again via MiUnlock Tool.. & Voila..
You're good to go

The only method to unlock bootloader

I applied for bootloader unlock permission and got the permission sms within 6 hours.
-I downloaded the MiUnlock tool and did everything (i.mi.com, sync and all those things).
But i was unsuccessful in unlocking the booloader.
-I switched to global dev rom too, it didn't help.
-I did factory reset my device a couple of times, it didn't help.
-I tried different versions of the MiUnlock tool, it didn't help.
-I tried the flyVPN thing, it didn't help either.
-I tried everything and tried to unlock the device for 4-5 consecutive days, but it didn't help.
But i tried to unlock my device after 6-7 days of obtaining the permission sms and unlocked it successfully in a single go.
So, the only thing you have to do is, wait for 6-7 days after obtaining the permission sms, don't waste your time by trying again and again.

Update with bootloader unlock

Hi
My phone is unlocked. If I update OTA directly, will it wipe my whole phone data?

I don't have this "problem" as it could also be intense to have notification led always on
There's many new little things from 8.0 to 8.1 and there is also some Xiaomi fixes and new bugs like every update from any brand ,?

Yes unlocked bootloader cause a part of safetynet fail and make you uncertified
I read somewhere on xda that some people on other phone were still certified after unlocked bootloader
Anyway it's "normal" and you can bypass safetynet with magisk if you really care
