Android 12+ Recovery Problem

Android 12+ has a problem thats causing recoveries to stop working. It gets stuck at recovery loading screen.

Prevention

Go to root/system/build.prop then add this:

persist.sys.binary_xml=false

This should prevent recovery from being stuck.

Cure

If u can boot to android and not rooted

1. Eject SD Card
2. Enable USB Debugging
3. Connect phone to PC
4. Open CMD and run this:

adb devices (make sure device was detected)
adb shell rm -rf /data/system/storage.xml.

Then, try to reboot recovery.

If you can boot to android + if you are rooted

1. Just eject SD card
2. Then go to root/data/system
3. Delete storage.xml file

If you can't boot to android

• Format data using fastboot (RIP your files)

Thank EeetsReyoooJeeeX for the fixes.

Remember guys, Prevention is better than cure.😉

Some roms already implemented fixes to this problem by default. In those roms you don't need to do anything. To be sure ask developer about this issue before flashing.
