I've done this too. Also, I try just to wipe only dalvuk.cache.vendor system.data only buy still same issue. Inability to decrypt drive and prompting me for password Still couldn't read the internal storage.

Or is it because I still have my mi account logged in?

I said format, not wipe.

Format will erase your phone. That's how to decrypt

I dey get mad battery juice aswear

On the contrary my battery is not holding up like it used to. Can't blame ion ROM because I started noticing that with miui.eu which is why I switched.

I now get 20% plus drainage over night with data off. Or is my battery getting due for a change?

You are not helping matters

One solution will be flash miui fastboot rom, but you'll lose all files.

So you need to list the steps you used in flashing the custom rom. There are certain things you do prior to flashing a rom. That's the only way we can minimise data loss

just calm down bro. Since your bootloader is unlocked and you can still boot into recovery, then you don't have any problem, you can download any miui recovery Rom (custom or stock) then do a clean install. You should be able to access your storage on the system if the proper drivers have been installed otherwise, just use an Sd-card or otg flash drive

If you want to move from one rom to another, you have to boot into Twrp and wipe everything except internal storage, SD card or otg . That was what you missed.

Wipe>advanced wipe

After wiping then flash the rom and reboot. Rebooting here will take about 5 mins.

Tried calling you though

After following the guide up there given by the Grandpa himself, and you still have any issue, let me know I'm in Agbowo, close to UI.

Factory reset via TWRP. The one with yes. It'll remove the encryption.

You need to flash vbmeta on your Redmi 7 before you can flash AOSP based ROM just like Havoc.

If you don't, you'll enter bootloop, which was what happened with your device. There's a flashable file for vbmeta. Flash it, then try the havoc OS ROM again.

Also, make use of LineR TWRP recovery. It's the most stable for Redmi 7.

Flash before the ROM.

That's how it all starts my brother. We all started as complete noobs. Just make sure you read age follow instructions carefully. But in everything you do, make sure you have a backup/recovery Rom stored externally and that bootloader is unlocked.

GSI ROM? I'm just bored of miui bro
Need to try another things. Westin I gain after unlocking bootloader if I no use custom rom.
Hope pixel experience is not GSI too.

Also got this on XDA developer, is it important I use liner twrp
