Hi there. I am a proud user of the 910F and i am looking for a TWRP recovery able to decrypt data partitions. Is there any? Found none, till now...
To do what?

I want to encrypt my data partition and i want to access it via twrp. This is totally normal for so many other devices. I do not know why the note 4 community is always wondering about...
Kind regards

Hi
I am unable to understand the concept of Decryption. I have been rooting my phone since the time of Samsung S3. I currently own a 64gb Nexus 6p with build number N4F26T. I use the sticky guide given here to root my phone and install custom recovery.
Now I want to apply pixel mods, but they demand verity check disabled. When I go in the security of my phone, it says Phone Encrypted in Encryption. I have checked all of the threads and forums regarding this but there is no clear guideline.
Do I have to decrypt my data? If yes, how will I be going on with this process? I see the format user data command but I am on Nougat 7.1.1 so I think this is not applicable to me. But no where has it been mentioned that I have to decrypt any other way.
Any help would be appreciated as I have always received from this community. How will I go on about the decryption? Please help soon as I currently have no data in it so its easier to format it.
You do not have to decrypt your data to use those MOD's. To disable variety check all you need to do is install a custom kernel or rom that does this by default. You will not lose any data by doing this. If you wanted to decrypt your data then you would have to format the data partition on your phone. This would obviously wipe your data so you would need to make a backup first on your PC. Some people think that decrypting your data will give you a slight speed bump but I've tried both ways and haven't noticed any real difference. So far I haven't run into any reason that the data partition would need to be decrypted to install anything.
This is a Question, so you are supposed to post in the Q/A section, not General.
First, you can't just decrypt the existing data on the phone, you'll have to wipe the device first and then NOT allow the encryption to happen on your fresh install. Make sure you already have USB debugging enabled. You need to perform a factory reset to wipe the phone. Then transfer from your PC either SuperSU (zipfile) or a no force-encrypt custom kernel such as EX Kernel or Franco (zipfile) to the root of the phone (or both). You can do this with TWRP's file manager. Before booting for the first time use TWRP's "Install" to flash either SU or your kernel. Now you can boot to system and your device will not be encrypted by default. Going forward with any updates that include flashing a new boot.img you need to reflash SU or the kernel (before booting) to avoid encryption.
First of all apologies about posting in the wrong section. Secondly, I have already rooted with Supersu. So now all I need to do is format the user data and I will have decrypted data right? It won't again get encrypted, right?
Secondly, thanks alot for such prompt responses. I am unable to find the thanks button that used to be there.
Hello everyone!
I am wondering how to enable encryption of my P9 Lite running Nougat B370. My phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed, if that is relevant.
In the menus I don't find any option to encrypt my phone. So, anyone knows if it is possible?
If you mean data encryption, it is already encrypted.

You sure about that? Because TWRP can access my data partition without pin...
Is there any way to check whether disk encryption is truly enabled?

It's encrypted unless you unencrypted it with twrp but the latest update of twrp (nouget) lets you backup data unlike twrp on MM.

It's strange though, I've never unencrypted my phone with twrp. But when I boot into twrp my whole data partition is open for access without any sort of password/pin. Seems to me there is no encryption active.
TWRP can mount data partition, but it does not mean that it is able to decrypt it.
It can backup/restore or format it which is what usually what a TWRP do, if you install a custom ROM like LOS you will need to format it because the system can't decrypt it while stock ROM can do it.

What I meant by my post is not only that twrp can mount the data partition. I can also access all my files within said data partition.
I can't seem to find any recovery TWRP or otherwise that can decrypt encrypted data partitions? Is there any way I can do that? Just asking because i have been able to on other devices.
Is it possible to install TWRP recovery on the S8 without formatting data and without root?
Thanks in advance...

If your bootloader is unlocked meaning you have a international S8 then you flash twrp for your model threw Odin and it will be a custom recovery with no root however if you don't format data your data partition will remain encrypted and you won't be able to to a backup of your phone cause the data partition is encrypted and won't be accessible via twrp after that format data the encryption Will be temporary removed unless flash a decryptor zip easily found on xda to stop your stock rom kernel from encrypting it again while it's booting up from the first time but overall your answer is yes you can install twrp with having to root or format data however without formating data twrp is kind of useless

Hi,
Any root guide on how to do this? Seems all how to's on XDA require data format...
Hi,
This is a continuation of my errands in magisk-support-2661and magisk-support-2662. I'm interested in the twrp aspect here, hopefully someone who knows twrp welll reads this.
Basically this is a Redmi 7A phone with stock MIUI 10.2.5 and twrp 3.3.1. Phone got messed after updating Magisk to latest version, and while trying to fix it i accidentally wiped data from within twrp. It says this preserves internal storage so I thought this would be ok, but internal storage is encrypted on this device and after doing this i can't access my files from twrp anymore (before it used to ask for my pattern). Files are still there encrypted, and looks like keys are still there in /data/misc so I guess all hope is not lost.
Any ideas on how twrp Wipe data functionality is supposed to work on encrypted storage devices, and how to get one's files back afterwards ?
Help appreciated before i mess things up further =)

Before you wiped data, was TWRP able to decrypt? able to view what you call internal storage?

Yes, it asked for my pattern and was able to decrypt the files.
