I am having problems with encryption while flashing new ROM
POCO M3 citrus with Orangefox 11.1 recovery, have been through all the EU stable ROMs. Now was on Stable 12.5.5.0.
Tried to dirty-flash new Stable 12.5.6.0 but after reboot the lock screen disappeared and System UI crashes instantly. Can't view error log, can't open apps.
I wiped /Data and lost encryption, installed ROM again and it took unusually long to boot, about 15 minutes, but I got my lockscreen (weird?) and the new phone setup stuff.
So I went into recovery again and the encryption was already there, so I just cleared cache and rebooted and the same thing happens again - there is no longer any lock screen and System UI crashes.
Do I understand correctly that this is a compatibility issue between old rom encryption and new rom encryption? and/or Orangefox?
What I am doing wrong?
Never had this problem before and never had to wipe /data dirty-flashing from 12.0.10.0 to 12.0.11.0.
12.5.5.0 was a clean install and was hoping to update as smooth as possible to 12.5.6.0... Would like to avoid a clean install this time because I have a lot of stuff to backup.
EDIT1:
Wiped /data and caches again, installed 12.5.6.0 -> lockscreen present, completed new phone setup and just rebooted the phone (no recovery this time) and the same issue again - no lockscreen and System UI crash.
EDIT2:
Wiped /data and caches again, installed 12.5.5.0 -> doesn't boot at all, reboots straight to recovery. No (d)encryption dialogue this time and this is the log I see (see picture.) So I guess I have no other choice but to clean install 12.5.6.0 now? I see there are about 600 downloads, surely I can't be the only one with this problem.
