The Issue

The device does not allow to use the newly flashed Custom ROM as it is Encrypted thereby asking for Password every time the phone boots up and wiping Data Partition with a Custom Recovery also does not work.

The Solution

Step 1 - Type anything as Password when the device asks for it after booting up. Be Quick as the device will shut down if you don't type anything within a few seconds.

Step 2 - Check whether it says Decryption was successful but the data is corrupted and also instructs to do a factory reset by tapping the Reset button. If Yes then go to the next step as the subsequent steps will resolve the issue. If No then this guide can not help you.

Step 3 - Do not touch that Reset button and reboot the device to Recovery by long pressing the Power button and then pressing Power and Volume Down simultaneously and choosing to go to Recovery from the Fastboot/Bootloader Menu.

Step 4 - Now connect the phone to your PC and transfer everything from your internal storage (if you didn't do it before flashing the Custom ROM) using MTP as the next steps will wipe the internal storage. Eject your SD Card from the device.

Step 5 - Download the Platform Tools from the link : [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LEcF5iAjRdno2_aPKv9DYdOYtviC5xB7[/URL] and after extracting the folder place it in the C drive.

Step 6 - Install Motorola Device Manager from the link : [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=12k2joSx5G08oourGlYLdtLEdTuOC9CVb[/URL] on your PC.

Step 7 - Download the Stock Recovery from the link : [url]https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_gogMT_GgSvg6FKpe2q4Z51gh22ftUdt/view[/URL] and place it in the platform-tools folder.

Step 8 - Assuming that your phone is still connected to the PC go to the Fastboot/Bootloader menu on the device by using Reboot to Bootloader option from the Recovery.

Step 9 - Go to the platform-tools folder on the C drive of your PC and open a Command Prompt window there by holding Shift key while Right clicking on the mouse and choosing the option. Enter the command fastboot devices to ensure that your phone is connected to the PC.

Step 10 - Enter the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash the Stock Recovery on the phone.

Step 11 - Reboot the device and enter anything as Password when the device asks for it. Now tap the Reset button to do Factory Reset. The phone will reboot to Stock Recovery and ask you to perform Factory Reset. Choose Yes to proceed and it will take a few seconds to do so. Voila!!! Your phone is successfully Decrypted and now you can boot into the Custom ROM you flashed.

Step 12 - As the phone is already Decrypted there is no need to keep the Stock Recovery. You can flash the Custom Recovery of your choice by going to the proper website and following the instructions to flash it on your device.

N.B : It took me a couple of hours to figure out the solution to this issue when I faced it and I wrote this guide so that it will help people who face the same issue in future. A Thanks! is much appreciated :).

I work with "format data" in twrp
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Quantumizer:
That didn't work in my case.

Otherwise it's the easiest way to do so.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kuzo:
I also do not work the "format data" the first time. you have to do it once and gives error, then restart , go to twrp and do it again and there if it works. and reinstall the rom again ... after that you can change rom normally
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Quantumizer:
I did it at least four or five times and was unsuccessful.

The phone was only booting up normally with Stock ROM but always asked for Password if any custom ROM was flashed.

Then only I came up with the idea I posted here and was successful to remove the encryption.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] whitetornado:
data on the phone will not be deleted?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Moondroid:
Step 7: ". . . the next steps will wipe the internal storage. Eject your SD Card from the device."

You should expect that data

will

be deleted.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Quantumizer:
Yes!

Step 10 will wipe the Internal Storage and the SD Card too if it is still in the device.

It's a safe practice to eject the SD Card before doing any operations.

Is this still required for Pie ROMs? I've unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and called it a day, didn't have to change anything, but I'm still on stock Oreo.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
If you're still on stock and haven't flashed any custom ROMs in the past or decrypted your data by using the "format data" command in TWRP after unlocking the BL (like I did) your data partition should be still encrypted. Most custom ROMs, regardless if they're Oreo or Pie don't work with an encrypted data partition. If the developer of the ROM you'd like to flash doesn't recommend anything else you can decrypt by using the format data option in TWRP (the one you have to confirm with "yes") or maybe by following this guide, for me that was never necessary, you just may have to use "format data" twice to make it stick.

To prevent your system from re-encrypting you can flash magisk or use a disabled dm verity force encrypt zip:

https://yadi.sk/d/HLr5vjnkA8gaqw

This one can be found on

https://zackptg5.com/android.php
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ts_firehawk:
The only time I've formatted /data was when I unlocked my bootloader. Immediately after this I've flashed TWRP, booted into it, installed magisk and restarted my device. It didn't asked for password or anything, this is why I'm confused. Since I haven't formatted using TWRP, it should be encrypted, right?

So since I installed magisk, then it shouldn't be encrypted, is that it? Sorry to sound soo noobish, but its been a while that I'm not flashing stuff and the last time I would just flash anything with no issues with encryption.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
If you look into Settings->Security (see attached screenshots) what do you see there? (Mine is rooted and decrypted).

Edit: Check screenshots in the next post
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Sorry, wrong screenshots.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ts_firehawk:
It shows that my device is encrypted. So, to decrypt it, I have to wipe /data from TWRP, right? To make sure that it won't get encrypted again I have to wipe twice, or just flash the script you linked?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
To decrypt it format/ data (not wipe, that's not enough, it's the option where you have to confirm with "yes"). As I did that I formatted data and after that flashed magisk. It doesn't work at first attempt so I went into TWRP and did it again.

Normally magisk should prevent your device from re - encrypting, if not flash the attached zip.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ts_firehawk:
By 'the attached zip' I believe you meant the one you've talked about a few posts ago?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Exactly. Here's the latest one:

Do I need to select "Format Data" under "Wipe" to decrypt it? On TWRP, I see Wipe -> Format Data. If yes, do I need to remove SD card that has my system backup and custom ROM? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

Are you referring to the "Format Data" tab under "Wipe" (that is, Wipe -> Format Data next to Advanced Wipe)? If yes, do I need to take out a SD card where I have a backup and custom ROM? Thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] domlin:
Hi all.

I know the 8th November Xiaomi UK launch is rumoured to include the Mi Mix 3, but I'm not confident that it will. Besides, if it does it will probably be priced in line with other handsets oof similar spec in the UK.

I'm thinking of buying one from a Chinese source such as AliExpress or Gearbest, but I'm now questioning if I'll be able to load a global ROM on it or not?

This article states that phones pre installed with Chinese ROM cannot have Global installed: https://www.gizmochina.com/2018/09/...-miui-china-rom-no-longer-support-global-rom/

Does anyone know if this is the case? When I got my original MIX I was able to flash Global with no problems.

Thanks,

Dom
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Vin87:
You can flash a global rom on a China device, but you can't relock bootloader
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] domlin:
Ok thanks... So if you can't re-lock the bootloader, I guess apps like Google Pay won't work?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] domlin:
Sorry for the double post.

Do you have any detail about that? Or a source?

My original Mix 1 bootloader was unlocked, Global flashed, and then re-locked.

Has this changed recently?

Thanks

Dom
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Vin87:
Yes it seems a recent change.. Maybe you can have Google pay running with Magisk hider?

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] domlin:
Thanks for your help. I believe the UK release is rumoured to be the Mi 8 Explorer. So I will probably order a CN Mix 3 and hope that the China ROM is fully compatible with the UK after GAPPS are installed.

I don't think UK apps such as google pay, and most mobile banking apps, will work if the bootloader is unlocked. But I may be wrong. Anyone know?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Vin87:
Banking apps (atleast mine) run fine on a bootloader unlocked rooted device. I didn't try Google pay

I also have an unlocked bootloader on my Mi Mix and have no issues with Banking apps (when using Magisk).

Hi,

Can I ask how you got on? Thinking of getting it but unsure if it'll work.

Also what site did you purchase the Mix 3 on.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Sean Nash:

Yeah EE. How about the ROM, any issue with just selecting english when you boot the phone up. Can you download google services or do I need to tinker with it a bit more
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
I got mines today and no problem with selecting English, you can install play services easily with Google installer 3.0 apk.

Might need to set some apps as system apps to ensure notifications come through straight away.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] jtotti80:
You guys think there's going to be major hardware differences with the new Global 5g version coming out in 2019 (besides the 5g capability of course) ?OR the rest of the specs should be the same? I'm not sure on ordering one now or wait for the global one to be released. But I'm assuming that the 5g should be more expensive.

This is honestly the only thing I'm waiting for assuming we're able to flash the Global rom on top of the Chinese one...

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tavocabe:
Hello all, I'm having a difficult time rebuilding my phone setup as I like it, this is removing the on-screen navigation buttons modifiying build.prop by adding qemu.hw.mainkyes=1 to make android believe the phone has physical buttons and then using LMT launcher pie. My problem is that modifiyng my build.prop leads to a non-working system. I just get a blank screen and then the UI crash and restart the process indefinietly. I've been doing this exact modification to all my phones and never had an issue, even with this same phone on stock nougat or LOS Oreo, but stock oreo is a no-go for me. Does LG introduced some kind of obligatory on-screen buttons on oreo or is something wrong on my end?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] valest:
Looks like you need a reflash. Modding build.prop is dangerous, if you forget to set the right permission things will go wrong.

Meybe you can try

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

It'll just hide you nav bar unless you pull it out, works on most Android and doesn't need root.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tavocabe:
Ok that will work to hide on-screen buttons but the thing is, going that way makes really hard to use pie lmt launcher buttons. I agree that modifiyng build.prop is dangerous but I've been doing it since my Nexus 4 days since on-screen buttons really bother me. I only add this line qemu.hw.mainkyes=1 and then use pie but now it makes my phone unusable. I discover that stock build.prop already have that line but ending in =0 of course as it does have on-screen navigation buttons, but even changing this single value to 1 produces a crash on the system

Hi!

I found something interesting on China Huawei Club forum:

https://club.huawei.com/thread-17736096-1-1.html

... by Google trnanslator:

First, the version push time

1, November 6th: Pushed to users who have successfully registered for internal testing

2, November 8: Push to users on version 9.0.1.20

3, November 10: Member service registration is open to all, support 8.1.1.175 (P20) / 8.1.0.176 (P20 Pro) version upgrade to 9.0.0.125 version.

Tips:

1. Please upgrade the “Member Service” APP to the latest version 8.0.2.811 before the member service registration upgrade.

2. After the membership service registration is open, there is no limit to the number of registrations and time. You can apply for early adopters at any time. It is recommended to apply for the peak period.

3. Due to the large number of upgraded early adopters, there may be a delay in network data transmission. After the member service registration application prompts successfully, the system will push according to the order of registration and the network status. If you have not received the version yet, please don't worry. It is recommended to wait patiently for the peak period and then review the update in Settings > System > System Update.
