Xiaomi 14 pro encrypted even after bootloader unlocked


So, im not sure what you're trying to say with the rest of the message. But the reason why the adb push fails is because you put the paths in wrong order. It should be the origin path on you PC as first argument and the destination on phone as second.

Yes I noticed that. Sorry, I'm a bit rusty. (see my edited post)

And suddenly adb pull works... so I am gonna take a leap: and download ALL the stuff. I feel like I'm not getting ahead, every time I try something its another wall I hit. Even with you help. Again HIGHLY appreciated.

adb pull -a -p /sdcard seems to work now. Will take forever, but at least I can push (DCIM/Pictures/other folders) back after the new install/wipe.
 
For the problem with magisk. You can start sideload mode in twrp, connect the phone to PC and run "adb sideload magisk.apk" or the magisk.zip (the ending doesn't matter, apks are literally just zip files with different name)

Why do you need magisk tho, if you want to reflash anyways?
