ahh,,, glad to see you here sir. im used ur twrp manager project on mia1. its awsome. if i flash twrp from your link. will it solved decryption issue too?

btw. are you move to poco soon?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CosmicDan:
Nah, I just fixed microSD.

Yes, Poco is now my #1 :) I'm looking into a proper TWRP now. I think I can just port it from Mi8, since the devices are almost identical (will just try swapping out kernel and adding line for microSD). First I want to see if Low-level Backup/Restore (EDL mode) is also possible for us, though.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xuser_:
How about the released kernel for this device? builds fine? would like to know the rom development progress if there are any and accordingly will buy it :)

thanks
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CosmicDan:
I dunno, I don't really care about custom kernels and ROM's tbh. Not yet anyway :p I've missed MIUI, personally. I had my taste of crappy AOSP forks on the Mi A1 for too long.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CosmicDan:
@OP,

Seems you will need to compile the TWRP in the 9.0 branch. It was only there that support for File-based encryption was added.

I will take a crack at compiling recovery in your tree against LOS 16.0 and see if I can get it going.

Hello, after flashing 8.9.4 following this tutorial everything works great. Now 8.9.11 is out. I tried flashing it - the system is encrypted and the zip can not be sideloaded - eror 7 I got. Is there a way to do it without formatting again?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CosmicDan:
For those interested,

I've made a device tree that's compatible with the usual minimal-TWRP build system - this is a possible candidate for official TWRP. Repo is here.

HOWEVER, I spent days trying to solve decryption issue to no avail. The only keymaster module I could find is an OpenSSL software-implementation which fails with error "cannot read key; it was not made by this keymaster".

I have since moved on, it's beyond my skill. Hopefully someone more experienced can figure this out soon.

[MENTION=1844875]CosmicDan[/MENTION] do you know if manually changing encryption make it permanent? Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CosmicDan:
Yes, unless you

1) Flash a new ROM with Vendor (e.g. any Stock ROM), or

2) Forget to flash Magisk (in this case, verity will kick in).

I have fixed encryption on my own work on TWRP, but only FBE (file-based encryption) which is the new and BETTER type of encryption. I cannot get the old FDE working, which is what stock ROM uses.

But we can at least mod the stock ROM to use the new FBE style quite easily.

I'm working on making this an automatic process, however, before releasing.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tomatot-:
Thanks for your answer and for your work. Sounds amazing!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Yuvi8870:

But earlier, miunlock tool did not wipe data, right? So, why this time? Is it device specific or miflash version specific or something else?

Cant we unlock without wiping data?

If no, please suggest effective way to backup and restore data so that timestamps of my pics and videos remain unchanged.

---------- Post added at 02:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

I am very confused and searched a lot but cannot find proper answers. I am interested in unlocking bootloader ONLY and at the same time protect my data. It would be great if u help. I think (may not be true) the safest bet would be unlocked BL+secure startup(password before booting)+usb debugging switched off. (Please also mention any possible workarounds or hacks for an attacker to bypass these settings to access user data or atleast reset the device to make it usable for himself)

All questions related to poco f1.

Q1. When bootloader is locked, can we flash anything (unsigned roms or images) through fastboot or only signed packages or nothing?

Q2. If i have an unlocked bootloader (but usb debugging disabled), is it possible that anyone would flash a custom recovery (TWRP) through fastboot and use its file manager (when a proper twrp build comes up) to copy my data to external otg or something even worse, delete my lock screen settings (password files) and have direct access to the device.

Can twrp be even flashed through fastboot if usb debugging is disabled (cuz AFAIK fastboot commands dont require enabled usb debugging, please correct me if i am wrong)

What would be the case If i have secure boot (password before bootup) turned on? Will the attacker be able to access the files (encrypted) via recovery's file manager?

Q3. Suppose secure boot is turned on and anyone flashes custom recovery through fastboot, will it boot directly into the recovery or will it ask for password when booting first time into the newly flashed recovery. If it would boot directly into recovery, what will happen if one tries to access files through file manager of recovery. Will he be able to gain access to the files (copy, move, delete)?

Thanks in advance. Eagerly waiting for answers to all questions....

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Can you suggest some backup and restore methods which would preserve the timestamps (date created, date modified) of files (esp. camera pics and videos) after transferring data back to device? Is Xiaomi's inbuilt backup and restore option in settings capable of this?

I'm not sure about Xiaomi's service as I have not personally tried it. You can always test? If you have root, then Titanium backup should do close to what you are looking for as it effectively takes a snapshot of the app settings/data.

If you're worried about photos/videos then isn't most of the data in EXIF tags? I'm not sure the actual file timestamps really matter a lot in this regard.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] asin_punk:
Hi there!

I'm currently using this version of TWRP without Micro SD support. (Planning to use the modified one from CosmicDan soon)

I'm on 9.6.14 and I successfully Unlocked my BL, Flashed this TWRP , and Rooted using Magisk.

Im trying to do a Full Backup. It says "Successfull" on the top, but there's a single red colored error saying, "Failed to unmount '/system'(Device or resource busy)". Do you think that the backup created is usable or not?

I want to switch to TWRP with MicroSD support by CosmicDan, how can I do this? Can i just flash it using the old TWRP itself? A step by step process will highly be appreciated cause I'm new to this stuff.

Thanks and more power to you guys.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Puneeth 676797:
I got my poco and thinking about unlocking bl, should I need to format data after I flash twrp even if I still use miui?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] vismaiy:
The backup is usable. You can flash the new recovery just like you flashed the last one. Or the easier way is just like you flash a zip in twrp, there's an option to flash image files. Just Google it or explore the twrp. You will figure it! ;)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] anuragm13:
At last, found someone with similar requirements...

Ok, so its gonna be long. Please be patient and read carefully

I would suggest you unlock the bootloader now, even if you dont want to do flashjobs now (you can do it in future) because unlocking is gonna wipe data so better do it at first (internal storage wont be wiped when doing flashjobs later if you have an already unlocked bootloader )

Now coming to the point...

Even i want to use miui for quite some time and start flashjobs very later....

So there's no point in installing twrp now, it will only break ota updates (although you can manually upate via twrp using full rom zip files)

Talking about factory reset happening during twrp flash, we should (almost sure) be seeing an official twrp build which wouldn't require data format to run properly. Here you can do me a favour since you have a new device with no data to lose (this process is reversible so dont worry, i can't test it cuz i have now lots of data and apps installed in the device). Install this unofficial build, you must have read that this build requires data format to run properly and most probably (i may be wrong, i havent tested it) this is due to default data encryption. If you flash this twrp build, it would ask for password on booting twrp. Try to type "default_password" (don't include the quotemarks) or your screen lock password (try screen lock password only if you have enabled password on startup when setting up the device) as the password and see if it works and if not, i have an alternative.... boot into your android system and firstly, you need to change password at startup (secure startup) if it was already enabled or set one if it wasn't. If you did not enable this when setting up the device on first boot or you want to change, go to settings and from there change the password or pin to none and then again set a password/pin and this time it should ask you to enable password at startup tap yes (you can later disable this using this same method and choosing no). Now boot into twrp and type the password you just set now. Probably it should work if it doesn't proceed with data format or revert back to stock mi recovery as you like.

To flash stock recovery follow this guide

https://in.c.mi.com/thread-33540-1-0.html

Grab the fastboot rom from here

http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.18.0....FD_20180824.0000.00_8.1_global_830fe869e8.tgz

Source thread for fastboot rom: https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/poco-f1-stock-image-9-6-18-0-oejmifd-t3836433

Please reply me telling if the methods above worked.

Now coming to security of user data with only an unlocked bootloader and everything stock, i would suggest {unlocked bootloader+password at startup (secure startup) enabled+usb debugging turned off} as the best bet.

Dont forget your password

And dont forget to reply telling if the methods worked or not.

Good luck

Oh I thought I can only flash a zip file. Now I know that img files can be flashed too using TWRP. So if I flash the new TWRP using the existing one, do I have to flash the DisableForceEncryption_Treble and Magisk again? Do you think it will format my data again?

Regarding my Usable Backup, so what's this "Failed to unmount '/system'(Device or resource busy)" error means. Just curious though. Thanks man!

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] anuragm13:
I found a guy whose device wasn't factory reset when he unlocked his bootloader. When i interrogated further, it turned out that he hadn't set any screen lock before he proceeded to unlock.

Can you confirm this by proceeding to unlock your bootloader WITHOUT any screen lock and see if your device gets factory reset?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Puneeth 676797:
Sure dude, I'll unlock it at 9:30 pm today

Just let me know the steps.

Should I just flash disable force encrypt before formating data and boot?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] anuragm13:
1. Copy some unimportant data on device (to check after unlocking if device was wiped)

2. Disable secure boot and remove lock screen password.

3. Proceed to unlock your bootloader and after unlocking allow the device to reboot and check if device was reset or any data wiped

4. Boot your device into fastboot mode and flash TWRP from PC and after flashing, boot directly into TWRP using key combo (power+vol. up). Failing to do so will cause miui to replace twrp with stock recovery and you would have to reflash twrp.

5. When booting into twrp, you will be greeted with password screen. Try entering default_password and see if it works. If doesn't....

6. Tap cancel on that page, then on next page swipe the bar below to allow system modifications.

7. Reboot device into system and set a lock screen password and while setting lock screen password, you would be asked if you want to turn on secure startup or not. Tap yes

8. Again reboot into twrp and when asked for password, type the password you set now as lock screen password. It should work. If fails....

9. You can proceed with formatting data if you want to keep twrp or revert to stock recovery.

10. If formatting data with twrp doesn't work, boot into system and disable password and try again.

Reply after unlocking and flashing.

So my pixel XL randomly hard bricked and won't turn on display any signs of life. I've tried routine troubleshooting and google support is of absolutely no help since it's out of warranty.

Is there a way to wipe the data off a bricked device?

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] adm1jtg:
I would say depends on whats bricked... If its the screen you should still be able to access the phone via adb. If its the motherboard its fried and thus likely nothing you can do.

Not sure if this will help but I had this happen to mine. I just held down the power button, for a very long time, and I finally got it to boot. I think it was like 30 seconds or longer. Try that and see if you can get the screen back on.

This is de rigeur with mobile phones IMHO.

I've never had a mobile and not used a screen protector. Accidents happen and it feels like you'd be a fool not to do what you can to mitigate against your screen getting knackered.
