Out the Box my device Was running an encrypted file system which seems to affect some areas and leaves others untouched, and id rather just remove it for the performance increase. (similar to here https://www.anandtech.com/show/8725/encryption-and-storage-performance-in-android-50-lollipop )
I have flashed TWRP 3.1.1 for the kugu, and while i do not get prompted about the decryption on the stock rom, I am unable to boot custom roms due to the encryption. Entering in my pin, which should then grant the masterkey the ability to decrypt is rejected. It states my pin is correct, but that it is unable to decrypt the volume and i need to perform a full wipe. Ive tried this route, wiped the phone, installed a rom again, and when trying to boot it...same thing.
Don't know whats up with that. My Device is Bootloader unlocked and I've tried a variant or two of TWRP.
Ive tried the DRM fix Genesis Kernel, and the patch it yourself Genesis Kernel both of which state they disable forced encryption.
Ive tried to install Paranoid Android, but i am unable to proceed past the point where it requests you to decrypt the phone.
Ive Tried Factory Resets, i've tried data wipes, and i've tried downgrading. Anyone else having similar issues?
How Do I Get around this and remove device encryption? I don't recall ever enabling it, nor being asked about it.

I think you need to wipe the user data and format with TWRP, then set up the phone.
If you let nougat do it itself, it will be encrypted.
Or, something like that?

I am almost a complete noob but want to learn everything i can to really "own" my phone. Im on an SPH-L720 4.4.2 and had root with [CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.tar.md5] (i think) though it might have been CF-Auto-Root. Everything was fine until I screwed around with some settings in SystemTuner . Now the phone is stuck in boot loop and sticks at the yellow Sprint screen. I've been able to flash back to stock ROM i think, and keep getting the PASS in Odin but keeps sticking at boot. I must have somehow got to TWRP 2.8.4.0 cause I'm going through that but really dont know what to do. Still can't use phone. Any help is seriously needed.

Sorry for cross posting, I have a SM-G900V currently running stock PB1 unrooted and a locked bootloader. My s5 also has Cid with 15 so I am able to unlock. My end goal is to have mm rooted and unlocked bootloader with custom recovery.

Now the issue,
The Reactivation Locked is enabled/checked in security settings with my account which I am able to log into both from a PC and while doing a full reset using ODIN or from stock recovery. During reset it makes me login to setup my phone and I do and move forward with setting up my phone. If I go into Settings/Security and turn off reactivation it asks me to login so I do. It says I'm logged in but the check is still there. It actually disappears then reappears right away.
I have done a dozen full wipes/resets of both the internal and external SD card using odin but nothing seems to let me disable reactivation so that I can get to MM rooted and unlocked bootloader.
I noticed that it says "Reactivation Lock(KK): ON" when in download mode. Does the (KK) part mean KitKat? I think the phone had KK on it when I first got it and setup everything on it. But from what I have read I will not be able to downgrade v5 to v4.4.x?
Anyone got any pointers?

I don't know what happened to my phone. From what I've read, I think its boot loop? I had recently edited my build.prop file. However, I found this was completely unnecessary and was going to overwrite the build.prop file with one that I had backed up to a micro sd card previously. After I did this, I was stuck on the screen(see image). I tried using android recovery mode. I tried "wipe cache partition" and wipe data/factory reset. Afterwards, I tried to reboot from recovery mode, and I saw the word error and the screen was stuck again. I've removed the battery and nothing works. Is something like adb the solution and if so, can someone link me a guide that's really noob friendly. My phone is rooted and this happened after I overwrite the build.prop file and restarted the phone. I have never flashed a rom. Thx in advance.

Similare problem here
I have a similar problem, but a little different...
Rooted the phone and then tried to flash TWRP using their official app., It stated that everything was successful and asked if I wanted to reboot into recovery. I tapped yes so I could make my first backup., Now the phone starts and shows the logo in your image then goes to a blank screen and thats it... Cant boot into recovery or bootloader or anything...
Any advice out there, or do I now won a brick?
I also have this problem and I can not do anything, neither recovery nor odin ...
Please only post if you have the OTA 7.0 on your phone. I wanna keep this post on-topic with the device (moto x pure) and issues people may have on the new update.
Now without further do, I have an odd bug that happens and it's annoying. Whenever I try and use my Bluetooth and wifi at the same time my wifi disconnects and reconnects all the time until I turn Bluetooth off. Wifi networks don't display like they're supposed to and there's a bunch of code on the network list. I've reset my network settings and wiped the cache and deleted some apps I don't use. I haven't hard reseted the device and kinda want to use that as a last resort.
My phone is stock with android 7 Ota not sideloaded.

Stock android 7 retEU, no issues like that but after the OTA i always perform a factory reset.
I suggest you to do the same.

Might have too as well and go from there.
You should always do a factory reset after a major os update.
sd card internal storage
after nougat update the apps on sd card after a while it is not working my sd card is formatted as internal so i have to uninstall and install it again is there's anyone got the same problem i am tired of doing that and i am not taking about spotify all apps does that
I just got this phone, and am enjoying it.
I installed the unofficial TWRP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3921637 . I just got a new "OTG" update for this phone that I want to install.
However, I just learned that you can't install OTG updates normally with TWRP installed as a custom recovery. I also have Magisk (systemless root) installed.
I still want TWRP installed for the benefits, but I also want the improvements from the official OFG updates. I am also aware that OTG erases root with each update.
Does anyone know how to install this latest update (without losing all my data)? Is there a custom file/build I can flash that will update my system but not wipe everything?
It shouldn't be any rush but I don't want to be running behind on all the important updates coming to this phone either.
Thanks.
(UPDATE; Deleting the compatibility.zip file inside the latest OTG update rom .zip file from here: https://www.fonearena.com/blog/279737/xiaomi-redmi-note-7-software-update-tracker.html , made the installation suddenly work! Yay! I also installed Magisk.zip again, because I probably would need to anyways. Should be easy from now on!)
Hopefully this will help someone else!
(Looks like my issue is similar to this recent post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3921637 . Not quite sure if I understand the directions completely however... hmmm...)
If there is a ota just download the full Rom. Works with twrp..
After Update install magisk again.. And voila. [emoji6]

*edit*
Better you use orangeFox recovery, theres no Chance to overwrite with original recovery on Update.
