Failed to decrypt user 999...
What does it mean?
Is it possible, due dual-apps from Xiaomi?

Hi
After flashing my mi 9 se with the latest twrp (twrp-3.4.0-1-grus) and vbmeta, it nows keeps booting on twrp
It cant boot on the main system anymore.
I read all this thread, did all the steps correctly, but still no luck
I tried to reflash twrp, then vbme, then the original rom (miui_GRUSEEAGlobal_V11.0.6.0.QFBEUXM_508141efd0_10.0.zip)
But still rebooting in twrp every time.
I dont know how to get it back
Any idea ?
Thanks :)

ok, i got it back, despite i tried every thing.. except flash shrp (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9-se/development/recovery-sky-hawk-recovery-project-t4046451)
instead of twrp :p
so :
reboot in fastboot
fastboot flash recovery shrp.img
reboot with power and volume+
boot in recovery on shrp > wipe > dalvik/cache/data/system/vendor
reboot recovery
format data
reboot recovery
copied the official grus rom zip file on the pĥone
from shrp install > select the zip file
finally reboot
and it's ok :)

Thank you so much. This was my first time unlocking/flashing anything on this phone (done it on other phones, but never xiaomi) and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong. Tried everything, including starting all over from scratch with MiFlash, and nothing worked. Turns out this version of TWRP (3.4.0-1) just doesn't work, at least not on my phone. It just constantly reboots back to recovery like you said. Switching to SHRP 2.2 fixed the problem, and everything worked properly right away! I'm not sure if older versions of TWRP would work or when this issue was introduced, but I think I'll just stick with SHRP until this problem is fixed.

i've success with these steps:
1. flash "miui 12 grus_global_images_V12.0.2.0.QFBMIXM" by recovery or fastboot
2. fastboot flash recovery.img of shrp v2.3.1 (extract it from the zip file)
3. fastboot flash vbmeta.img
4. reboot to recovery mode manually --- pwr + vol down
5. wipe dalvik/cache, data, internal storage
6. flash "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip" (i forgot the link, plz googling)
7. reboot to recovery mode again
8. format data
9. reboot to recovery mode again
10. flash magisk

This worked to unbrick my bootloop (recovery) after upgrading from android 10 to android 11 (xiaomi eu)

I only used this command:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

I didn't flash a zip file in recovery to disable verity.

Phone boots now

Hi mate,

what did you do to flash the MIUI based on android 11 on our phone?
juste dirty flash and reflash then the vbmeta, that's right?
I assume you didn't lost any data on the phone?

Cheers
David

Hi Guys,

I ****ed up....
I flashed 6. flash "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip"
But now i can't restart MIUI (stays on MIUI screen the last 15 minutes), which i understand, do we have any solution to force again encryption in order to start MIUI without format all data?

I ****ing mess up because I was stupidly following the tutorial without thinking to backup pictures before!

If anyone can help i would really appreciate

Cheers
David

Can't access TWRP any more, any key combo ends in Fastboot

What I did: I used TWRP-3.4.0-2-Mi9SE to update grus to xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9SE_V12.5.1.0.RFBCNXM_v12-11.zip.
Success.
But I can't access TWRP anymore. I always end in Fastboot.

Whats wrong here?

Hi Mate,

Download this recovery:
twrp_grus-MI9SE_3.5.A9_07-03-2021_d-bl.img

And try this:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp_grus-MI9SE_3.5.A9_07-03-2021_d-bl.img

Should be fine, and BTW, this seems to be the only solution to boot and be able to decrypt data under Android 11

More infos: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/official-twrp-for-mi-9-se.58589/post-599211

Good luck

Is xiaomi.eu rom working with this recovery? Had problems with decrypting/bootloop in earlier versions.
Yes it works but, if you enter on recovery mode after installing xiaomi.eu miui 12.5 you will have a data encryption (that happened to me). Try it using twrp uploaded by xiaomi.eu community to be more specific: twrp-3.5.A9-grus-geoanto555.


When I flashed that and then, when I installed miui 12.5 and back to recovery mode my data didn't encrypt.

I hope redispade would build a new version, his works is awesome for me and thanks for him the installation of custom ROMs is easy.

Decrpytion still does only work with the redispade version for me. Then I have to install newer twrp to prevent boot loop. Burdensome update process. i hope OTA will work some day again or maybe I need clean install.

    Latest version : 3.4.0-2-Mi9SE

    Credits to https://github.com/kudProject for initial version device tree of this recovery.
    Original kernel source: https://github.com/pengus77/kowalski-grus Thanks @pengus77
    Source of modified kernel(included in TWRP): https://github.com/redispade/kowalski-grus

    Remember to join the telegram group for support:

    Q: Does this recovery work with <INSERT ROM NAME HERE>?
    A: I use Xiaomi.eu latest stable rom, the recovery is tested with that rom by me, and when released, everything should be working, unless stated otherwise. I don't support weekly roms(beta) and I can't test with other roms as Grus is my daily driver. For every other rom, use the Telegram group for support. You are welcome to report bugs, but expect no ETA.


    Ensure to read all the instructions. The download link is at the end for those who already know them.
    You've been warned :)


    Changelog :
    * twrp-3.4.0-2-Mi9SE:

    - Include latest twrp code changes from 02 Aug to 10 Nov 2020 https://gerrit.twrp.me/q/status:merged

    Older changelogs on github


    Flash using existing twrp or in fastboot using command:
    Code:
     fastboot flash recovery twrp-PUTVERSIONHERE-Mi9SE.img
    Install vbmeta.img (only if it reboots to fastboot)
    Code:
    fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

    Just some Info:
    Android has chandeg from FDE (full disc encryption) to FBE (file based encrytion) with the upgrade to Android 10.
    (src: https://source.android.com/security/encryption/file-based.html)

    That gave me headache in the earlier HTC M7/M9 and Mi MIX times years ago - maybe there is a quickwin possible by changing the recovery.fstab or twrp.fstab to a compatible FBE mode.

    Thanks for the help. The recovery was FBE compatible since the beginning, but it was missing the correct encryption flags in recovery.fstab

    It's working with MIUI, though. TWRP doesn't ask for password, but we can access data.

    I think all you have to do is flash twrp. You only flash vbmeta if you're stuck on fastboot. As you're on stock MIUI I don't think that'll happen.

    So, flash stock rom with mi flash tools, go to fastboot and flash this twrp, reboot to recovery (using power and vol up), install magisk and reboot to system.

    PS. If you use this recovery, you don't have to download magisk. Just go to advanced and there's an option to install magisk.
