πŸ”“ Successfully Decrypted MIUI .lsa & .lsav Files Using Python – Full Working Method by TheDevOpsRite

MIUI encryption has been a major roadblock for users trying to recover their personal photos, videos, and backups stored in .lsa and .lsav files. For a long time, there was no clear working solution β€” most tools failed, and documentation was almost non-existent.

On TheDevOpsRite, I have now successfully decrypted .lsa and .lsav files using Python, and I’ve shared the complete working process in a video tutorial.

βœ… What This Solution Covers

Understanding how MIUI encrypts .lsa and .lsav files

Extracting the correct decryption hex key

Using Python + PyCryptodome for real decryption

Converting encrypted files back into usable photos/videos

Handling padding and data integrity correctly

This is a real, tested method β€” not a theory or fake tool.

πŸ” Security & Ethical Use

This method is strictly for educational and personal data recovery.

Only decrypt files you personally own.

Never share your hex keys publicly on forums or in comments.

If you need help, always use private and secure communication.

πŸ›  Tech Stack Used

Python 3

PyCryptodome

MIUI encrypted backup analysis

Custom scripts for .lsa / .lsav handling
