I can't decrypt to mount with twrp. This worked for months prior to today after I updated to version 3.0.0.0. Now I cannot get in to flash anything. I have no password on boot or password at all and I have tried "default_password". No luck. Any suggestions?
SOLVED: Hit cancel at the password screen, then go into Wipe and then do a factory reset by swiping. Then go back into Wipe and press the 'Format data' button. You have to type 'Yes', and it will take a few seconds. After that everything should work normally.
i dont know if this helps for you, but:

Im really not sure about this,
but it could be that you have to install SuperSu and then it works
Can you boot your phone normally?

Yea boots fine runs like it always did. I might just completely wipe and see what happens.
I would try to install the new SuperSu first, if this doesnt work you can wipe later.
By the way it would be great if you post your results here, seems to be problem for older versions too.

Installed, no luck.
Wiping now will report back...
EDIT: It did need to be formatted and reset.
When making a backup with twrp, what folder should be backed up? Boot, system, system IMG, vendor, vender IMG, data, cache? I need a back so I can restore current setup if I don't like this "Android N" beta update.
Before installing Android N, everything worked normally. Now it wants a password every time. Tried everything. I want to get my backup, but if I wipe data, it wipes the backup. If i transerf the backup to the phone after wiping (still in twrp), I am stuck on the Google logo. LOL
Edit: Now flashed twrp 3.0.0-1, looks fine. Copying backup to the phone.

I found a better way.
I found a way around. Boot into ROM, create a 4 digit pin screen lock, then use flashify to flash recovery, then boot into new recovery and use pin.
Boom, you have decrypted recovery. You can boot back into your rom and change the passcode to "none" and twrp won't ask for a pin.
This is because when twrp initially boots it sees a "default_password" but if you go into twrp and try to type default password it will not work because there isn't a default password it just sees there is one except its unlisted it's kind of a double negative but a way around that is to create a password.

The only way to save your data is to change the default password instance to an actual password and then flash TWRP

Only,
-Boot
-System
-Data
I do also cache recovery efs but not needed.
*Don't ever restore system image or vendor image.*
Works like a charm!

will this wipe my rom
Hello,
I bought a SM-G935F S7 edge. Unfortunately I have not a google account password from the seller.
If I start the phone, it say's that there was a unauthorized try to reset the phone back to factory reset.
I have googled out, that this is not FRP? How can I fix it? Installing a new STOCK or Custom ROM after unlocking bvootloader and rooting it?
Any tipps are welcome!
Kind Regards,
snitchedable

I'm on touchwiz custom nougat rom,rooted installed twrp and everything. I have touchID enabled,pattern set and all of that. My question is,what will happen if boot into the recovery,wipe data,cache,dalvik and install some other rom.. what will happen on firs booting,does twrp let you to wipe the data,or it asks for some password authentication or something,or it let's you wipe the device.. And when the phone boots (if twrp let's you to wipe everything),on the first boot,does it asks for touchID,some passwords or something? And what is the safest thing to do if i want to sell my phone,how to properly remove all the protections so it can be used normaly after that ?

1- it is not recommended to flash a rom from another cook without a full wipe ( backup ur Sh*t first )
2- if u do, the touch id or pass will stay as it is, the system will boot and ask u for it, but u may have too many FCs or even not boot
3- twrp will not ask u anything ( u tell twrp what to do )
4- the safest way is to encrypt ur device and do a factory reset
on my A2017U After unlocking the bootloader and having twrp 3.0.4 installed I went to install resurrection remix and gapps and upon boot it asks for a password that I had never set up. before installing the ROM i formatted the data and wiped everything. What do I need to do? I reloaded a stock rom and in the settings it says the phone is encrypted. I've tried searching for answers to this but I haven't been able to find anything..

Go to TWRP - Wipe - Format data - write 'yes'
...and maybe update TWRP.

Are you sure you are ACTUALLY USING the 'Format data' button? Wiping won't do anything to the encryption (i'm asking just to be sure).
Otherwise try doing this:
-Format data, wipe system, dalvik, cache
-Flash Universal Bstck
-Flash your modem
-Flash the ROM
-Flash either noverity-opt-encrypt-axon7 (I think the name was that one; just make sure it is for the axon7 or ailsa_ii), or SuperSU/Magisk which should have that packaged in.
This really shouldn't happen...

yes, I am actually using format data button and typing yes. I will try using the noverity later this evening and give you a followup
If I remember this right you have to use both in twrp,
factory reset and format data, I read this here on XDA or Reddit before I unlocked my bootloader.

this is what I did.
1. Boot to TWRP
2. wipe/factory reset
3. advanced wipe everything but sd card and usb
4. format data, type yes
5. install ROM and Gapps
6. boot.
everything loads okay except I get it asking for password
I have not tried another ROM yet or the noverity-opt-encrypt-axon7 I will have to do those later tonight.
One more thing I was going to try is remove the lockscreen pin/fingerprint on the stock before doing anything

Do this after you flashed rom and gapps, only factory reset and format data, no need to wipe other stuff.
Edit: I did this directly after the unlock, I flashed the latest official twrp through the unlock twrp version, rebooted to twrp, advanced wiped caches and data, not system, flashed bootloader and modem from the Los thread for my axon version, flashed dark rom with gapps, rebooted and run into the same issue as you. Back to twrp, factory reset, format data, then reboot and everything was good ....., Or Format data and then factory reset, try both if necessary.

Another thing you could try is booting to the bootloader and trying "fastboot format userdata"

You just need to wipe data cache dalvic after flashing the ROM
You have the factory reset step in the wrong place. Do it after the rom and gapps installation...
Essentially the phone is still encrypted though factory reset . You need to get rid of the encryption AFTER you flash the new ROM...
Change the data file system to ext4.

This did the trick.
Flashed bootloader, modem, rom, gapps. factory reset and format data. boot to password, reboot to twrp, factory reset, format data, reboot to working rom no password. Thank you and to everyone else for your help!

This seemed to do the trick for me.
To change the file system type in TWRP 3.2.3.0:
Go to 'wipe', then 'advanced wipe' and select 'Data', press 'Repair or Change File System' and then 'Change File System' to EXT4. It will say "format" which often means "delete" but didn't remove the ROM I had flashed moments before.
I also did this below first- but without doing a re-flash of the bootloader and modem:

Idk if this will help with your use case, but for other users, it can be good to know.
but for the stock ROM: Settings -> Security -> Screen Lock -> Enter your pin -> It should ask you if you want to shut off the password on boot up

Where is this happening? In the recovery menu or just after the boot animation or is asking for your miui's password?

Well, there is always the "nuclear option" - flash a full fastboot MIUI rom with the Mi flash tool. This is not for the fainthearted, and you should be prepared to lose all your data (and your custom recovery), and to start again from the scratch (like you just got a brand new Xiaomi device) after doing this.
When everything else fails, this is the last option. Just make sure that you don't accidentally lock your bootloader again ...

1. Don't use twrp, use OrangeFox R10.0_2 recovery (better encryption compatibility): https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3941822
2. Changing the rom, especially aosp-miui, will generate data partition (data + internal storage) encryption problem. Always save important data from internal storage before flash new rom. If you get "wrong password" problem need to format data partition (will wipe internal storage too!!). Use orangefox: menu -> manage partitions -> select "data" -> format data -> reboot to recovery.
after rebooting the phone asks for a password to enter the android?
