Firstly I would suggest you upgrade your recovery to 3.5.0_9 just to make sure you've the latest stable (because of Bugfixes) then you should get a input mask to decrypt the storage.

If that doesn't work (I assume you just rooted your device) do a factory reset through twrp or wait for other suggestions.


@ Anyone correct if I'm wrong

really we have a user named "anyone" ?

Seconding that, chance is tiny but worth a try. If this does not work, no way.

What is more important on devices with Android10 or later, better even starting with Android 9, whenever you have to boot into recovery to flash anything, switch to swipe or none for lockscreen security.

Once you have no lockscreen security (only for the time needed to perform the task at hand, later re-activate PIN or Pattern) you will never ever face such issues because even though the device remains in encrypte mode, it's not encrypted due to lack of security activation and you can at least read and use all the files in recovery mode.

Yes that would be the real first step but he/she can't boot to system.

First i confirmed you finding, the rest was meant for everyone and for a safe future

Sometimes we have to bite into the sour apple for now for what we did in the past but if we lear from it for the future
it's not all in vain which is why hints as to how to avoid the same issue in the future are a good way to sooth the current pain.



EDIT: sinde i'm already at it, proper backups should be selfevident nowadays. I recommend to store important data in the on a computer with copies in the cloud and access them from mobile either through that cloud storage and/or vie offline availability that major cloud services offer nowadays. That as far as data safety is concerned. Photos and Videos can be auto-uploaded in most cases as well.

Your phone doesn't boot after twrp installation or what? First try a twrp update then use a PC to browse your files.

PS: If you had change ROM from MIUI... Maybe by PC else goodbye

Just enter your security pattern or pin, that you are using to unlock your phone.

Just enter your security pattern or pin, that you are using to unlock your phone.

Pattern, PIN works only in last twrp.

TWRP 3.5.1 out now

 

[dyoliya]

Hi. Can anyone help me? I'm new to this stuff.. I flashed a custom ROM (Pixel Experience) using TWRP. I successfully flashed it. But I want to try another custom ROM unfortunately I cannot access the TWRP recovery already.. Whenever I press VOLUME UP + Power, it goes to PixelExperience Recovery mode instead. I tried flashing TWRP once again in adb and whenever I reboot it in adb, it just got stuck on MI Logo. Now when I try to go back and restart device in normal mode, it will once again go back to PixelExperience. I guess whenever rebooting, the TWRP gets overwritten.. Please help me how do I get back to TWRP recovery permanently thanks

Use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, not fastboot boot ..

 

[sindibad363]

Use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, not fastboot boot ..

I used fastboot flash recovery twrp.img than fastboot boot

 

[zgfg]

I used fastboot flash recovery twrp.img than fastboot boot

Why?
You simply had to use
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
to reboot to the just flashed TWRP.
Not going to search now but I remember that I learnt about by reading the guides here before I started to use and it always worked for me

Is there a way I can recover my phone without locking bootloader ?

There are guides about using MiFlash, you can google about (not restricted to Mi 9T) and read how to prevent relocking Bootloader

But did you simply try flashing the stock recovery.img (and maybe stock boot.img)

I'm using this Recovery version (3.4.0.10), should I update to 3.5.2_9-0?

For what it's worth :

I have just flashed that version on a Xiaomi 9T running a MIUI ROM with version V12.0.4.0.QFJEUXM and it works just fine!

Hi, updating my rom to 12.1.1.0 RFJEUXM, recovery dont ask me to insert password to decrypt data
