I dirty flashed the new update on an encrypted phone. When a phone is encrypted you have to flash via adb sideload (so you need a computer).
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
I tried to flash the ROM through ADB sideload but it didn't work as it was too late for me. Is there anything I could do to save my data?

I back up my data before flashing any ROM, but this time I created the backup on the internal storage by fault and didn't realize this until it's too late.

TWRP doesn't ask me for a password now, I tried most of the new versions and the one I was working with before flashing the ROM.

I get this error at the beginning "E: Unable to decrypt FBE device"

When I use this command over ADB "adb shell twrp decrypt password", I get "Failed to decrypt data."
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] demil7:
I haven't been in that situation before but I'm not sure if there's anything you can do to save that data.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
Is there any link to older versions from arrowos v11 like from last Nov or Oct?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DaFoxxY:
It's very odd and haven't found similar complains:

Notifications. They just won't work, show up or just never appears? No gmails, no telegram messages, no snaps. No nothing. Sometimes without any given reason. Phone calls and sms comes as fast as possible, but phone seems to not sync. Tried installing twice now, still no results

Reseting phone gives notifications for atleast 5min max. Then it's ghost town and maybe some time later it'd pop up messages. Anyone have a clue? Android 12 is new thing for me and maybe this problem is something that I don't know about android 12
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] K.P..:
This rom is working flawlessly. I installed previous version with clean install. And dirty flashed last update. It's working smooth and u didn't experience any bugs. Previous bugs were also removed.

Maybe try clean flash? Wipe everything.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flekkelek:
Seems like battery management to me. I routinely turn it off when I install a ROM, so I'm not sure, maybe give it a shot.

Have you tried OrangeFox recovery?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
Yes, I tried most recoveries.

The last time this happened to me, I had to clean install the ROM and create the same PIN as the previous one to restore the data from a backup. Now I can't wipe the data as I made a data backup on the internal storage by fault.

I am not sure if this solution is going to work, I think the boot partition and the recovery might be corrupted. If someone made the same PIN as mine and made a backup of the boot, Dtbo, and recovery is this will work?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] alexmaisa:
The easier solution is to flash stable MIUI rom (fastboot file). But it may relock your bootloader.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
Is it going to remove all my data?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] alexmaisa:
You have options to flash all partitions or except data storage. I think your storage will be fine unless it's encrypted
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] alexmaisa:
Well, I'm not sure about that. I never go back to MIUI ROM.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
It's encrypted when I open TWRP I get this message "E: Unable to decrypt FBE device"

I tried to decrypt the data by this command "adb shell twrp decrypt mypassword" but it failed to decrypt the data and TWRP doesn't ask me for a password at the start.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
Thank you anyway for trying to help :)
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] alexmaisa:
I mean, I never go back to MIUI from Android 11 on this phone. But years ago, I did on the older phone. Internal storage wasn't affected, but the data partition was gone.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Blob Blobbed:
yo pm me if u still need that backup. nvm i didnt do a clean install my bad
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
Your assumption to be encrypted may be wrong: I am definitely unencrypted (!) and do have the same message in the recovery since there is nothing to decrypt (as one can easily imagine).
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
I'll give this a try if nothing works, at least I'll recover some of my data if it worked.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
Done, thanks man
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] QuietLife:
As far as I know, the ROM is encrypted by default, I'm talking about ArrowOS v11 and I never used Disable dm-verity.

I attached a photo of how internal storage looks like in TWRP.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] K.P..:

Nice and smooth ROM.

Anyone seeing a space under the keyboard while typing in Gesture Navigation mode, please use the magisk module HideNavBar from Github and the extra space will be gone, preferably select Full Screen instead of immersive.

Note: This is not a default module in the search of Magisk App, so you will need to download from the release section of the Github and import it in Magisk.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AliTheTechGuy:
If it can help the dev: It was same for me as well, so I reset Network Preferences, and it worked for few days until it stopped showing 5Ghz connections at all.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] AliTheTechGuy:
T

To my understanding, a non-encrypted ROM can have its files and everything related accessible in recovery mode even if there is password/ pattern set on phone.

While an encrypted ROM will always ask your password/ pattern in recovery mode. So no one can access your data even if they have your phone and have installed TWRP or any recovery somehow.

Are you using Root? Magisk?

In such cases, the payment applications and gateways reject access.

If it is magisk, use the Magisk Hide feature to hide root/ magisk from specific applications.

If I'm not mistaken, on android 10 or 11,we could lock some apps through the security options. It seems that this option was removed now on 12. Is that a normal thing overall from Android 12, or just a removed feature?

im using the latest 20220112 ver，very smooth and stable。

however，is there any way to replace the quickstep launcher to any otherlauncher，without losing the function for navigation （bar or gesture）

i disabled the quickstep.apk，but the button “rencent“”square cannot work，or the gesture cannot work well。

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] skippersea:
I had chosen ArrowOS 11 because it had the App block which I think is a very important thing especially to increase the security of the banking or payment apps.

Please ask the developer if he could answer me about the possibility of having this function also on A12

Also I would like to ask users how they are with the battery drain, I have heard several rumors that the ROM is a bit battery-drain.

Thanks for the replies!

I've just installed A11 arrowos and I really like it. The only problem that bothers me is that after enabling gesture navigation and switching to a different launcher (nova) it keeps going back to arrow os launcher. Setting nova as default launcher doesn't work either.

Pretty good, i've noticed that it consumes faster when battery is 100%-80%. My phone can survive a whole day with intense use (max bright, 3 to 5 hours of screen) and i still get to the end of the day with 21%.

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] A1eEe:
I clean flashed this Rom yesterday and been using it for past 48 hours. I'm facing an issue which is, if you close an app it doesn't run in background and you won't recieve any new notifications unless you turn open the app. I checked the notification section and reset app preferences too but that didn't work either. The only thing thing that seems to be a temporary fix for this is to restart your device. But it happens again after sometimes when you reboot your device. Kindly help me with this
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] scorpie67:
same here
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] alexmaisa:
You may check the battery optimization setting for each app you need to always run in the background. Change the option from "Optimize" to "Don't optimize".

But you shouldn't overdo it. It will drain the battery faster. Pick the most important apps.

I'm using Android 11 version for months, and never experienced that problem.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] A1eEe:
I'm aware of this but issue is no matter what you do or turn off the battery optimisation the notifications still won't show up. Tbh that was the first thing I tried when I first noticed that issue. Just for that reason I've reverted back to A11 for now until they fix it in their next update. Cz rn Arrow Os is the only stable and battery friendly A12 out there for Redmi Note 8.

Hi,

i restored a backup A11 today and forgot that I set a pin and fingerprint (included in the backup) and now if i insert the pin I get a blanck screen for some seconds and then I'm back where I was before. The pin is the right one. Using another one I get "wrong pin" massage.

How can this be fixed (if even possible)

Have to say I did a dirty flash to A12. The pin worked there, after going back to A11 not so. AHHHHHHHHHH
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Lucas_Maximiliano:
In TWRP or similar find /data/system/locksettings*. * and delete it. This is the file that stores your lock setting. After this, just reboot and you will not have any lock. Re-set your favorite lock mode.

Hi,

After trying to update the ROM via OTA (Arrow OS 12, 17/02 build) the update failed two times:

The first one, after clicking the install button in the Arrow OS update option, the phone restarted into the recovery but didn't load the update, I restarted into the system and everything looked fine. Downloaded the update again, and pushed the install button for second time.

This time the phone booted into the recovery and started installing the update, but during this process the update failed (?) and brought me to the main page of the recovery (btw I'm using OrangeFox recovery). I restarted again into system and the device doesn't boot. It get stuck in the Arrow Os animation.

How can I fix that?

I can't upload the update manually because the phone is encrypted and can't find it in the files (btw, I don't know where the update is located, if it's inside the root storage who isn't encrypted or inside the encrypted storage).

Thanks in advantage for your answers!

Update: I downloaded the update into the sd card and achieved install it (didn't make any wipe or anything, only installed the zip), but even though it installed correctly, the phone get stucked after the Arrow booting animation (the arrow fill in white and after a seconds the screen goes black, in this step I am able to long push the power button and get a rare bootings options, it seems like the options aren't optimized for the screen size and appears alls attached to the left, also they are functionally and let me shut off, reestart or block the screen). Probably need a clean install? How can I do that?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Install clean. And check from time to time (TG, xda) if an update needs a clean install, as it's quite normal in rom development that updates have so big changes that a dirty flash (or ota) isn't a good option as you can see with your messed up installation.

Yes, latest EEA FW, I have tried to reflash FW and ROM a couple of times, ended up with the same results.

I love this ROM, I had been using 12 version as a daily driver as soon it was available. To be completly honest, I have sensor issues also (proximity/light sensor fail) mainly, so there I may have a hardware problem also.

Same problem here, i have this problem since the first use of this ROM, i came from stock global rom so it's a clean install, mine is Note 8 global version so i installed EEA FW (bacause i heard it got better network) then i installed this ROM.

Sorry to ask here, but I get no answer in other forums;

Hi

I tried out a few custom roms but as my banking app doesn't work with them I decided to go back to MIUI.

Initially I tried to do it by downloading .tar from Xiaomi and flashing it via Mi Flash, but I get the 'no such partition' error

After that I tried the following command in CMD: fastboot getvar current-slot, and the message was: getvar:current-slot FAILED (remote: GetVar Variable Not found)

So I'm wondering if its possible to donwload this: https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/ginkgo/ and flash it via Orange Fox Recovery.

Thanks in advance.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] happyyear1231:

I don't know about the error in Mi Flash as I didn't get this error when flashing MIUI. Did you download the stock rom of the same region as your phone came?

If you install MIUI via Orange Fox you'll have the same problem with banking app as your bootloader will remain unlocked.

Try to use A12 custom rom to see if you banking app detects unlocked bootloader. If it still detects it you can try to hide it by using Magisk.
