Never had an issue with redmi note 4x and aroma either. The reboot box does not make a difference because the install never happens. I will download and try.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] chan200606:
If you are using the wzsx150 3.2.3 twrp found under the ROM/recovery section, versions 0121 and 0212 are both supposed to be for Android 9. I haven't tried myself though, as I am still on 8.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] MetallicGR:
I can confirm version 0212 does indeed decrypt data partition, making it mountable it inside TWRP. Of course phone's now running on official Android 9 MIUI 10, updated on Wednesday.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] cidxtc:
So heads up for anyone trying to use open gapps aroma installer. No recovery will install it. Tried batik, orange fox, perp, and wzsx150 twrp and all do the same. After all the selections when the actual installation starts the device reboots (installs nothing but does save setting options) back to recovery. All reboot options (system, fastboot, etc) all reboot back to recovery only holding power button will allow device to boot into system.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] lexridge:
I am using wzsx150 3.2.3-1003 and it does not decrypt data, even with proper password.. Where can I find 0212. I cannot find it in this forum. ..only the bad one I am using.

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] lexridge:
Any idea why is 0212 half the size of 0121, and the others for that matter (28MB vs 60MB).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] MetallicGR:
I believe it's somehow compressed. If you open these files with something like 7zip you'll see the size is very close between the two.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] lexridge:
Oh okay. That would make sense.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] orozcore:
Can yo share the 0212 img to Pie I'm stll in Oreo and the Pie update notification is a little annoying so I want to update but I haven't found the twpr 0212 for mi 8 lite.

Recently I unlocked bootloader so took a look on this just for curiosity sake so I never use Aroma GApps, I prefer minimum Google flavour. Aroma has some issues on some devices to flash properly on the usual way without any additional action needed but this is (atleast by now) one of those unfriendly devices regarding Aroma installer.

Aroma GApps actually can be installed on two ways on this device, I used TWRP 0212:

- Without make any selection, just follow next and next again till the process to flash starts and finishes without problem.

- Making before a Format Data, for a strange reason Aroma Installer doesn´t find the proper environment to work, and then choosing whatever the options you want.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Aroma has not been updated for years, and is becoming increasingly incompatible with new devices and new Android versions. In short, it is obsolescent, and will soon become obsolete unless the original dev (or someone else) revives it.

I didn´t find your thread here where post some issue, for me all the recoveries are not working as desired, I don´t know if would a problem on my device itself or cause source were recently released until some days ago.

When I reboot to recovery touch not working but then to power off screen and on again works, at first reboot to system doesn´t appear bootanimation, and when finishes to bootup screen is totally black, power off screen and then again power on and all is there; totally booted; it´s strange, the only recovery working at 99% is PE recovery and the linked in my last post too.

BTW your tool was the best I ever tried thanks for all the effort, I used on my R5+ but I don´t know why the things changed with this device.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
The display panel is usually the culprit. Check with AIDA64 what is your display panel. I believe that this device has more than one (just as the RN5+/RN5Pro series had issues with nt36672 displays).

BTW: see your PM ...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Thanks for your time, I tried your 002 version linked at Mega, touch not working at all, your previous version OrangeFox-R9.0-1-platina worked then to screen off and on the panel but this doesn´t.

Yes, this is a known issue on Xiaomi devices, I ever was lucky with displays, I checked on Aida64 and I didn´t find EBBG or Tiamma strings as used to find on my last device, then enter to kernel option by tapping 5 times and this is the info under device info:
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
In this case, some boe panels are the culprit.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
It could be. I don´t find exactly which kind my panel is as usually before on my last device, it looks like EBBG, BOE, TIAMMA keys were retired from any hardware tester app so I have to do new research to find which code refers to these types of panel.

Maybe you want to take a look on the Batik recovery that I linked some posts above and find some clue. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
It is all in the kernel logs.

anybody have a fix or any idea how to get the touchscreen working in ANY of the newer TWRP's? I've tried 0330 and 0212 and they flash, I reboot into recovery, it's all chinese but touchscreen won't work at all to use TWRP, no matter what I do to it. I don't get it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Try this one. It may well solve your problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
Does your recovery allow for the LOS rom to be encrypted after install? I am having a lot of difficulty encrypting the custom ROM's I use, I am not that versed on it and dm verity but I do want the ROM to be encrypted after install even if I have to manually do it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
That is an odd question, because encryption has nothing to do with the recovery. It is entirely a matter for the ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] cidxtc:
Well yes and no. Recovery has nothing to do with making encryption of data and won't prevent encryption. Yet not all are compatible with the encryption and can prevent you from accessing the data in recovery when it is encrypted.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
The question was "Does your recovery allow for the LOS rom to be encrypted after install?". The answer was to that question, and to no other.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
Ok well in the case of the mi 8 lite LOS 16 that is on this forum, I installed it and are using batik recovery as the twrp's won't work since my touchscreen wont' respond at all with them installed (hardware issue I've read) so I used batik and his worked. I installed LOS fine, it is not encrypted by default. so I go to it and hit encrypt. It just pulls up the little android guy and then reboots and does not encrypt the device. So is this an issue with the rom? Or an issue with the recovery? I did notice that when installing the ROM, the recovery shows stopping and disabling DM-verity so the ROM is unencrypted when it boots up but no matter how much i try, it will not encrypt manually. How can this be fixed as I want my phone to be encrypted.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] cidxtc:
I don't remember if the script in batik recovery disables the fstab to prevent encryption but it does stop forced encryption.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Sorry using app and quoted wrong person
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
do you know how to enable the fstab so I can encrypt the ROM? Does anyone know how to do that?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] cidxtc:
There are settings in recovery to disable/enable the the recovery from automatically flashing script. Then just extract boot.img from rom zip and flash it. Hopefully that helps you.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Disabling dm-verity has nothing to do with your ability to encrypt. Same for disabling forced-encryption (which only means that you will need to do your encryption manually, if you want).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
I follow you there but I have no idea why the LOS 16 ROM won't encrypt then.......I go to do it manually, it just does the android guy and reboot every time, with a pin code or without one. So how do I encrypt my ROM? What caused it to get messed up in the first place or is the LOS ROM for the mi 8 lite unable to encrypt?

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

Where? I don't see them anywhere in the recovery. Also I didn't follow your last thing there either sorry, I flash a lot of rom's but i rarely deal with the encryption not functioning already. Thanks for all the help guys I need it badly LOL.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
I have given you a solution. But I will not spam this thread about something relating to another product. If you want further elaboration, there places for that discussion (hint - see my signature).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
Thanks I'll hit your TG group if that is what you were meaning, hopefully I can get some help there, I'd hate to have to return the phone I do like it but I must have it encrypted.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

What and where did you post a solution? You just said it has nothing to do with recovery?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
No, it ordinarily doesn't. But if you were to format your data, it might matter how you formatted it, and what with. I thought that I could just speak "half a word" - but apparently not. So, here goes. IMHO, the best way to encrypt a Xiaomi device (when you are having difficulties trying to encrypt) is by flashing a full stock fastboot MIUI ROM with the Mi flash tool, and letting it do the encryption (just make sure that you don't let it lock your bootloader again - else, :crying:). The next best way is to flash a full stock MIUI ROM via a custom recovery, but without disabling forced-encryption - again, MIUI will encrypt. The next best way is to do it via a custom ROM. That, as you have seen, can unearth all sorts of issues (in which how you formatted your storage can play a role).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
Ok I think I follow you. I'll have to flash your recovery as I don't think batik's has the option anywhere to disable the (disable dm-verity) they have on by default. So instead of fighting it just flash a miui rom that you know will encrypt, then wipe NOT format the space to install the custom ROM, which I'm guessing should not destroy the encryption, it should carry over to the new rom if you don't format it.

Anyone know where I can grab the latest pie ROM in flash zip form? I have the beta but I figure that's not the best option now. I'd rather just flash it with custom recovery rather than using fastboot and risk the bootloader locking back up. I so scoured the batik recovery and can't find anywhere to stop the dm verity from diabling so I guess easy solution just run your recovery then which you said can do that.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] lexridge:
Rest assured, your bootloader will NOT relock. It will not lock again unless you use the Windows Unlock App to re-lock it.

Edit: Or relock it via Fastboot
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
Do you happen to know where I can find an official ROM of the latest miui to flash from twrp?

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] lexridge:
I do not know where. I would you give you my stock PIE backup, but I think I had already logged in to Google before creating that backup, so not sharable. Sorry man.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Yes, you mostly follow me - except that I said nothing about dm-verity (I referred to forced-encryption - which is a completely different thing). If you don't disable dm-verity, then you might have problems booting MIUI.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
Yes sorry that is what I meant forced encryption.......I'm assuming your recovery has the ability to turn that on and off? I'm going to flash your recovery over batik's tomorrow and check it out. Though now I'm gonna have to research the difference between the two :) Thank you for all the help, I very much appreciate it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Yes, it can be turmed off. At the moment, it resides on the "OTA" settings page (hint - coffee icon->coffee icon leads you there).

BTW: Batik is perfectly fine - just different - and the devs also are/have been contributors to OrangeFox (but I don't know whether the Batik platina build disables forced-encryption or not).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] sting12345:
Yeah it works well, I might try to flash the latest MIUI ROM via batik's and see if it encrypts if not no biggie I'll just do it again with your version and it turned off. Thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] Fuffzehn:
Well with Batik recovery I could not encrypt my phone on resurrection remix. With TWRP from xiaomi it worked though that one cannot decrypt the partition now. Orangefox is timing out on decryption of the partition.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] DarthJabba9:
Does any recovery decrypt it?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Questions & Answers] Fuffzehn:
Well the recovery from wsxs15 or how he is called just does not work at all and xiamis recovery does not decrypt it correctly either.

Though I suspect some issue with Android Pie there.

Thanks, I managed to flash OrangeFox-R9.0-2-platina.zip on my Mi 8 Lite, unfortunately it keeps asking me for password, I've tried my lock screen password, also tried removing the lock screen password, but OrangeFox still failed to mount the data partition.

Currently I'm using 'wzsx150 twrp 0330', it can decrypt and mount data partition.

Is there any chance OrangeFox recovery will be able to decrypt data partition on Android 9?

I really like OrangeFox recovery, my Redmi Note 3 & Redmi Note 5 Pro has OrangeFox recovery flashed.

Trying to determine whether I should decrypt. Encrypted phone requires re-entering the password twice.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] debdeep98:
Encryption has nothing to do with requiring pin at start up. You can turn it off. And turning off encryption is not something you should do. Anyways to turn start up pin just remove the pin pass or pattern you have currently and then when you add again the first screen that pops up is the confirmation screen asking whether you want startup pin enabled. Select no and you are done..
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] jhs39:
The only real benefit to decrypting your device is if you use a custom recovery like TWRP--especially if it's not an official build of TWRP.

On some devices (especially those from One Plus) there are issues where TWRP either can't decrypt the data partition or stops being able to decrypt the data partition after an OTA.

On some phones you can just boot back up if that happens but on others you are locked out and need to reformat and reflash just so you can use the device again and if that can't be done which has been the case on some treble phones like the MI-A1 and the Essential PH-1 then your device is permanently bricked and is pretty much just an expensive paperweight.
