Sorry ppl, need some spoon feeding. I have searched but to not avail.
I unlocked my 6p, flash TWRP and installed chroma rom + despairs kernel. All was fine in TWRP
But when I boot into the TWRP after installing my apps, it says password to decrypt and I skip that but allowing it to mod system files. Tried to install zip but internal storage shows 0mb. Can't seem to find my files in SD card folder
My phone is still encrypted.
Never experienced such issues with my nexus 6. Any help?
Chroma works perfectly
Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP for the 6p. Initially it only worked if you decrypted, but a few weeks ago a newer version was released that does not require decryption and will see your files.

Hello all,
I am currently running the latest snapshot of Cyanogenmod 11 (M12) on my GS4 and last month I used Flashify to install TWRP 2.8.4.0 over the default CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery that comes with CM11. I did a nandroid backup to my external 64 GB microSD card and it would say that the backup was successful, and I could see it within the file manager and on my PC using MTP.
However, whenever I reboot into the OS, the backup folder gets deleted. I have then tried to backup only the /system partition to my internal storage, since I do not have enough space on my internal storage for a full nandroid. This backup worked successfully as I can access the folder from the OS, however I would still like to a full backup on my SD card since it has enough space for a full nandroid
Here is what I tried:
1. While in TWRP, I copied the newly created backup folder over MTP to my computer. After I rebooted the phone, I shut it down and plugged the SD card into my computer and copied the backup back to my SD card. However, when I placed the SD card back into the phone and powered it on, it deleted the backup again.
2. I reflashed CWM (same version, but newly downloaded and flashed using Flashify) and attempted to do a full nandroid. I received an error saying that the /data partition could not be backed up. Interestingly, I deleted an old CWM backup on my SD card, and after I rebooted that old backup was still there.
3. I flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0 and 2.8.3.0, and still have the same issue.
The version of CWM that I had before I installed TWRP would backup without issues. I am not sure if this is an OS, hardware, or an SD card issue, though my guess would be that when booting into the OS, Android deletes any changes that were made to the SD card that were not made in the OS. I am not sure how to fix this issue and was hoping someone on this forum could help, and I have searched other forums for answers, but haven't found one as specific as this, and solutions for similar problems haven't worked.
The phone works fine otherwise, I'm just worried that with CM12 M releases coming around the corner that I won't be able to install it properly with these recovery issues.
Any help on this would be appreciated, and if there is a better XDA forum for me to ask this on please let me know.
I figured out the issue. Turns out my microSD card is faulty. Sandisk will send a replacement.
Note: Originally posted in the official TWRP thread. I apologise for double posting.
So I did something profoundly stupid today.
I've been having trouble with my N9005 for a few days now. For some reason, having just woken up, I decided to try and wipe Dalvik cache from TWRP 2.8.7.0 4.4 (this is my maximum TWRP version at the moment due to a bug in certain N9005's that's been discussed elsewhere in this thread). TWRP was also giving me issues, asking repeatedly for my password and not accepting it. Unfortunately, in this state I ended up also swiping the Install SuperSU slider -- problem because I was running Magisk with RR 5.8 up until then.
This led to an expected bootloop.
I've flashed RR again after doing a factory reset, but I'm afraid that I may lose my encrypted internal storage, which (surprise surprise) contains a lot of stuff that should have been backed up but hasn't been. Neither TWRP nor RR recognize an encrypted portion of the internal storage, although RR shows a few GB of space occupied.
When I run
Code:
twrp decrypt <password>
I get
Code:
Failed, operation in progress
Additionally, in mount internal storage is left unchecked by default and checking it does nothing.
Is there anything that I can do at this point? I don't know which /dev/block would correspond to the data, and don't know what tools I would use to decrypt these files if I copied them over using ADB.
Any assistance would be incredibly appreciated!
TL;DR: I had encrypted internal storage. After a factory reset it doesn't show up in RR or TWRP. I need to know if this data is still there, and if so how to extract it.
After doing the Tmo to international conversion, I downloaded a new rom and appropriate files. They show in ES File Explorer, but I am unable to locate them in TWRP. Anyone have this issue, I have to be missing something. Thanks in advance.
just put them in downloads and go there in twrp
Downloads folder literally doesn't exist in TWRP for me.
The whole file system looks different at / in TWRP than in ES explorer.
You need to mount sdcard/storage in TWRP
I have tried with no success. Under mount it won't even allow me to click the option to mount sd card. When I click sd card in the list I get a slew of folders with random character names (ie- ggDjkk7hFJJgGvV)
I have noticed in my oos system settings my phone shows encrypted. Could this be why? Is there a way to turn off encryption that I'm not seeing, if this is the cause?

That means it's still encrypted. What version of TWRP are you using? My guess is you are using the wrong TWRP. You can try booting back into OOS and removing your PIN / Password / fingerprints.
Otherwise you may have to boot back into OOS, backup your data, and format the data partition. Reboot to recovery again, then transfer whatever you need to TWRP, flash, and it will re-encrypt on the next boot. Again though, make sure you have the correct TWRP first before you go through all this trouble.
I am using bluespark TWRP that was in the guide to Tmo intl conversion.

Yes, that one will give you the issue. The encryption did not seem to be working in it.
You should use the latest version of this recovery to resolve your issue: [RECOVERY][3.3.0-2][fajita]Official/Unofficial TWRP recovery for OnePlus 6T (Stable)
So after updating to twrp 3.2.2, I was successfully able to clean install havok and have everything working. What I have noticed though, is that after booting into the rom, it is encrypted again.
The first go I realized I had the wrong gapps, so I downloaded the correct one, and rebooted to recovery. At this point it was encrypted and I couldn't see downloads again. I decided to do a data and cache wipe and installed everything via adb sideload and it went perfectly. I guess this phone just wants me to only load roms when I have my laptop with me. Either way, I'm up and running. I miss how easy things we're back in the HTC Evo days.
Hi, I'll try to be as detailed as possible but just know that I am somewhat of an amateur with android and I only have surface level knowledge.
I have an Axon 7 that I successfully installed OrdenKrieger's unofficial LineageOS 16.0 a few months ago (build 20181114). I saw recently that there was a new build so I booted to TWRP to flash it, but found that I could not access my file system. I am able to select (in the mount menu) system, cache, and persist, but not data. I then tried to reformat my data based on a thread I found, but then I booted back to TRWP the same problem was still there.
If anyone could help me solve this it would be very much appreciated. I have a few other problems too with root installation and dac selection, but this I am just not able to figure out why is happening.
I am on a vendor partition, but I do not remember which tool I used, just that it was one of the first to come out after Lineage 16 was released for the Axon 7. My TWRP version is 3.3.1-0 and I am not sure which bootloader/modem I installed either.
Maybe try reformating/changing your vendor partition size
I have the same problem, installed LOS 16.0 recently and TWRP is unable to mount internal storage. Anyone have a fix for this? Have tried flashing the latest TWRP via fastboot but didn't help
Hi Guys,
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed twrp following this tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRcYUMBgvaI
I was getting an error while flashing a custom rom and gapps. It showed "storage space is insuffient". So I wiped internal storage and did a factory reset also.
After that I copied all the files (rom, gapps, magisk) to the internal storage from PC. But when i checked in the twrp there is not file.
I think its due to the twrp encryption. I used to get the initial message in twrp to allow modifications or something. But now its just rebooting to twrp and no files is there. But connected to PC I can see all files.
Please help. Its an urgent issue, that I took my wife's phone to flash and need to return it atleast in working condition. Else you guys know the consequences right:silly:. Its a kind request.
Thanks...
i have the same problem , when i load twrp it asks to put the decrypton code but it says that its wrong..
