Hy all!
A week ago I turned on the File Based Encryption on my 6P but want to root again[emoji2]
How can I turn it off?
Is it enough to flash the factory image again or should I do anything else?
Thanks.

Flashing the factory image will work as long as you format userdata from within TWRP recovery. You will need to back up all your data because it will get wiped.

Is it ok to fastboot format userdata?

I think so as long as you flash a kernel or supersu to disable encryption before the first boot.

I'd like to do a proper format of the Nexus 7's internal storage to ensure everything is wiped and in hopes it will fix my read/write performance woes. Although I can do a factory reset it doesn't wipe the internal "sdcard" storage. I can't format the drive from Windows either since it's MTP. Is there perhaps some way to do this via ADB or something?
Thanks!
You can install the factory image. This will return it to the factory fresh state (except it won't lock your bootloader if you've unlocked it).
Thanks for the suggestion, but that won't wipe the user storage will it? I want to do an actual format of the storage device to try to fix my read/write issues.

It'll wipe everything.

How do you install the factory image?
Its funny you should ask this since I also asked the same last night. Check it out below. I used cwm to format the storage.

Book into your recovery and do so from there.

I don't have any rom flashed, just a working bootloader and TWRP 2.6.3.1.
Everytime I try to flash a rom (through adb or fastboot update) it doesn't work cause of the error:
"Unable to mount /system".
How do I solve it? (BTW: TWRP asks for a password everytime it gets started, but I've never set one...).
I really need help...
still in the need of help..
Have u tried to reflash twrp or use mskip or wug toolkit to recover factory image.

Yup, but mskip not.
Try fastboot erase system or fastboot format system. You may also want to wipe data to remove the nonexistent password. Note that I mean wipe /data, not just a factory reset.

Fastboot erase system was successful, unlike wiping /data because it's "Unable to wipe /system"...
EDIT:
Flashed CWM and flashed a rom through adb sideload, but I think without your help (fastboot erase system) it wouldn't be successful, THANKS!
EDIT:
New rom (and Android version), old problem. The reason why I didn't have any rom installed was because I wasn't able to turn Wifi on..aaaaand I'm still not able to turn it on.

What is the name of the ROM zip you flashed, and did you flash a custom kernel?

Vanir, latest 4.3 version. I didn't flash any kernel, just the rom.
So, I tried installing the Note 8 port and now I can't seem to wipe the data partition. I have used every available version of TWRP with the same results. it won't mount the data partition.
from inside android doing a factory reset just restarts and nothing has been wiped.
I also lost root during this process and cant seem to get it back. I have a 935F/DS but the build number says N950F

You need to go through the process of fixing the encrypted data partition.

I have done all of that already to no avail. I have also tried flashing stock oreo firmware in Odin but after about 3 seconds it says it is done and nothing has changed. I am starting to think I must have done some irreversible damage to my Data partition. is that possible?

In TWRP, have you tried Wipe | Format Data?
This option is a button to the right of Advanced.

I am so sorry. I am a moron. I thought I tried that but I didnt. it worked..... TY SO MUCH!
You will have to reroot after. I was Magisk 16.3 and 5.8.3 apk. Then the data fix. I also never update Magisk after its installed.

I want to reinstall 9.0.13 completely because I'm having some errors like volume panel not going away automatically.
I went from t mobile 9.0.11 to international masik and TWRP. Flashed 9.0.12 and then Ota to 9.0.13.
Been out of the game for a while and don't know what's up with this a and b slots and what not. What exactly do I need to uninstall and wipe in twpr before I install 9.0.13 OOS? Thank you
Sent from my OnePlus 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I would...
Flash the 9.0.11 MSM that allows T-Mo unlock.
Unlock
Do a local upgrade to 9.0.13
Flash TWRP then Magisk as always.
Basically you are just starting over.

Thanks do you suggest wiping anything in twrp before hand or it doesn't matter since I'm using msm?

First save pictures, music, video, doc's in Pc or usb drive.
Msm erase ALL in youre phone. It lock youre bootloader too. MSM makes youre phone like it was when it came out of the factory.
Or you can Format data in twrp, or in Fastboot. This also erase ALL in youre phone.

So I can wipe Delvik, cache, system, data. Then flash 9.0.11?
Sent from my OnePlus 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app
No. Format data does not mean to wipe Dalvik/data/system, etc. It's much more.
MSM does that too and returns youre phone to real factory setting.

I'm on a bootloader unlocked T-Mobile OP7T Pro 5G running 10.0.19. I tried upgrading to 10.0.25 but its failing even after flashing stock boot image.
It seems like my only option is running the MSM tool and updating afterwards which will wipe my data.
So I was wondering if its possible to make a full backup of my data partition and then restore it after the upgrade.
(the version of twrp I tried couldn't read my data partition)
