Using TWRP after enabling encryption

I'm not able to get roms to stick after enabling encryption with the 5.0 factory image, using TWRP 2820. I've seen some people say it's fixed in this version, but I don't see how it works. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I enabled encryption on the 5.0 factory image (android encryption, not twrp backup encryption) then decided I wanted to try out a custom rom. When I wiped and flashed nothing stuck. TWRP said everything was successful, but there were absolutely no system files installed. I tried several different flashable zips and no files ever were written to the system partition, including mods, roms, supersu, etc. The only way I was able to get a rom to boot again was by restoring the full TWRP nandroid backup I took after encrypting.

I know someone has to be able to help me with this.
Anyone??? Please.....

OMG...is it seriously that simple? lol I feel dumb I figured since 2.8.2.0 was out after 5.0 it would have been built to work with lollipop. Thanks for the help

[Q] MX5 Custom Recovery

Is there anyone working on a custom recovery for this phone?

There was a rumor about cwm working on mx4..

I will get my MX5 some day this week. and i will try to make cwm work for it, and i would like to know if anybody else is working on it.
Thanks

maybe later, i think.

I have started to build temporal twrp for MX5, but I dont have so much experience..

It compiles
Yes, I have unpacked ramdisk of the twrp and tar it up, later I have flashed it with the tatsuyuki script (same as mx4 pro twrp).
When boots I can see only a yellow line, nothing more.
I have followed the same as recipe as tatsuyuki did with mx4 pro

It is temporal, in theory when you flash it and reboot the phone the first time it will appear the twrp. When you reboot again it should appear Meizu stock recovery.
But this was not the case exactly, I have flashed it and in the first reboot I couldnt see any recovery. The phone started rebooting and rebooting and me doing the combination of keys to enter to the recovery. Sometimes appeared a yellow line, sometimes not.
After half an hour trying to enter to meizu stock recovery, it suddently appeared and I could flash the rom again.
I was sure I have bricked it xD

Perfect! [emoji2]

I was thinking, we dont need no make any special recovery or temporal recovery. In lollipop you can flash recovery without unlocking bootloader with M1 and MX4. I believe that It has to be the same with MX5 and M2 Note.
The russians made philz and the chinese cwm for the other Meizus. I think we have to do one of this, no twrp.
Edit: I see xen0n had graphics problems with twrp in mx4. So twrp discarted

Is it safe to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2?

Hi there.
Is anyone here using TWRP 3.x? I'm still on 2.x, since I read of lots of problems with newer versions of the recovery on this device, but I'd like to upgrade now. Can anyone give me some feedback?
Thanks in advance

It works but as with multiple posts not with Aroma.

I see no reason to update if u have no issue on 2.x. sometimes upgrade is just a no go.

Try it.. It totally a new design You can revert back, if you don't like it.. By flashing the image through the new twrp itself.

If you're trying to downgrade, it means that you've flashed TWRP.
If you've flashed TWRP, it means that you already know how to flash a custom recovery.
If you already know how to flash a custom recovery, then this is EXACTLY the same thing. Just pick an older version of TWRP and flash it the exact same way you would flash any version of TWRP.
And if you don't even know how to do that, google is your friend.

TWRP backup for various models

Hi Folks,
Saw many users struggling to restore their phone after messing up with their phone either during flashing any custom ROM, custom recovery or even flashing stock update via Firmware finder or flashing any unapproved stock firmware via DLOAD method and event after trying various methods of reviving the phone unable to do so and they can not flash the custom ROMs as well, sometime due to FRP locked etc or various unknown reasons.
Please share your TWRP backup for such users so that they will be bale to restore their phone and use it rather throwing it in frustration. It could be either TWRP backup for stock MM, Stock Nougat, Custom MM or custom Nougat
Please do not forget to mention the model number and the backup type as TWRP backup for stock MM, Stock Nougat, Custom MM or custom Nougat so that user download and restore only the backup they need rather messing it up again.
It can be system+boot or system+boot+vendor backup.
Example- BLN-AL10 Stock B375 Nougat
Thanks and happy flashing.

Would like to share mine. But at 20KB/s upload speed, it won't let me.

Getting back to stock EMUI super easily, almost no hassle

Hi everyone, today I will be telling you all how to get back to stock as long as your bootloader states "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
You will need to install this, this is super duper important! https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
When installing, you will see the error: "E: Unknown command []]"
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
That is supposed to happen lol.
Installation procedure -
1. Flash this TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18uHjW73Th8iYKIs5m_QgwleMIOjsZd7S/view?usp=sharing
2. Wipe everything except SD card, then choose "Format data" to decrypt device
3. Reboot once again into TWRP (NOTE: If you are using USB OTG cable, make sure to plug it in AFTER TWRP is fully booted and ready to go, if you do it early, you get an error, which is weird lol. EDIT: Not sure if this error is still present in the new twrp, but it's never bad to play it safe.)
4. Flash HuRUpdater, make sure the file names are correct!
5. Reboot into stock recovery
6. Factory reset and wipe cache partition
7. Reboot
This method also enables themes to work again, so no need to worry about that!
Lots of thanks to @zxz0O0 to providing this awesome tool
And more thanks to the OpenKirin community for helping me out when flashing this! :good::good::good:

hello crayonicle, hehe im on the dot os for now, im interested going back to stock. will i get official updates backs from honor if i go back to stock using this method?
do i need to install the HuRUpdater only as the instruction shows? or follow as the link to the other thread shows?

Most likely not, the moment you unlock bootloader, you get no updates from that point forward. Just check using this for latest version: http://pro-teammt.ru/huawei-firmware-finder/

Hi !
Does it work to restore on the BND-L21C432B121 ? Because it's marked for 7X but does it works on all firmware versions of this device ?
Thanks !

hi op,
does this work on L24 the usa version?
What update.zip file did you use? can you point to the link?
Also, does this update take the recovery to stock with no TWRP?

Yes, after flashing this via twrp, if you reboot once again to recovery, it is stock recovery, not twrp.
