Hello guys,
I ran the latest oxygen OS and TWRP recovery. Today I saw that the new official Oreo OTA is out so I downloaded the full zip and tried to dirty flash it in TWRP. It did not work out and i got an error, and people suggested to use twrp blu_spark for flashing the oreo build.
So I flashed twrp blu_spark in fastboot, booted into recovery and installed the oreo zip. Before I did that, TWRP always asked to type in my password to decrypt the files.
After flashing oreo my phone wouldn't boot into Android, it just stayed at a black screen while the LED was shining. I realized I had to **** up somewhere so I booted back into recovery, but TWRP doesn't ask for my password to decrypt my data and now everything in my internal storage has weird file names (which I suppose come from the decryption) and I don't know how I can decrypt my data again. I also flashed the normal TWRP but it didn't ask to decrypt my data either.
Can somebody please help me? I can't do anything at all at the moment and I don't want to wipe my system as I unfortunately don't have a backup (I have one, but that's a TWRP backup and in internal storage which is encrypted...).
Thank you so much in advance, you are my last hope
I think my problem is that I don't have a PIN setup in android, because it's actually bricked (had to flash the wrong oreo probably or so). Do you think TWRP will ask for a password again if I somehow manage to install the old oxygen os and setup a lock screen PIN again?
Same Issue here... Searching for a solution
I ended up wiping everything except internal storage. I then pushed the old oxygen os to the internal directory and flashed it (in hope it wouldn't change anything in my internal storage/sd card). Looks like I was wrong. After flashing it also apparently wiped my complete internal /sdcard.
All data gone. Nothing I can do now anyway. If somebody would have known a better way to decrypt my data again with a broken android, feel free to comment - feeling really bad now, so many photos etc. on it. At least learned my lession to always take a back up, but normally I'm super careful and not flashing anything that would wipe/brick something on my device. This freaking oreo update is making me crazy.

If you have broken your android/system like I (it didn't want to boot into the system anymore after flashing) I think there's almost no chance. Atleast my device is clean now and I can't do anything at all and my data is forever gone now. But I learned my lesson and you probably too - always take a backup.
I mean okay, after I thought about it it's not too bad as I didn't have a lot of important photos on it and I fortunately backed up my whatsapp to google drive before playing around so yeah, atleast a clean device now and will look for a nice oreo ROM.
If you think you can find a solution good luck, but I think the only way to get TWRP to decrypt the internal storage partition again is to set up the display lock in your ROM again - and if you have a bricked ROM and flashing a new one it will wipe /sdcard completely like in my case...

sorry, too late, wiped it already. why should this twrp work? I tried normal one and blu_spark, none of them asked me to decrypt my data.

Done and nothing happened, still not asking me to enter a pattern\pin. Is there a way to force it? maybe a line or a terminal code? I remember my pattern ofc

I don't think there's much chance. I was able to see all those weird filenames in internal storage when connected to my PC, but I could not copy or change files to internal storage. If this would have worked, there might be a chance to decrypt the data manually on your PC if you find how to do it/if it's even possible.
I seriously think there's no good solution for our problem. :/

All deleted now... I know that feel
So I wiped the whole device. Adb sideloaded the new rom. Working flawless.
Now installed Magisk 14.0 and device stuck at boot with blue light.
So the rooting is to blame... (In my case...)
So I adbd again the rom.zip and got it working again. But no root for now
Update: flashed Magisk beta v14.6 (1468) and now ist's working.

Hi all.
i was in the same boat as all of you. screwed up somewhere and then lost everything and did a side load. but now the problem is whenever i boot with twrp it still keeps showing my internal storage as 0. so am not able to root it. how do i go about solving this?

How did you flash magisk beta? in my case twrp says that my internal storage is 0
What I did was format not wipe.
ADB sideload rom.zip
Install latest beta from magisk.
So now I have a clean device with working root

Nice, data lost as in my case but clean device is great too atleast. ^^
f***, same happenned to me. I did a back-up with twrp before but i left it in my internal memory.
I do have a month old back up on my laptop. How can i push this over to the phone? Can i restore a backup from bootloader ??
I gotta try everything to save my data, too many important things for work on there. I was too ****ing eager to get oreo
I've done the exact same thing. Problem now is that TWRP isn't seeing anything on the phone, there is nothing there. So I can't root with Magisk or install custom recovery.
Edit...had to use blu_spark twrp instead

Not much chance to get back the data if you can't boot into android at all. You can wipe everything completely and then copy your old backup to your internal storage which will work again once wiped/decrypted. I haven't found a solution to save the data without wiping, I tried different twrp versions like the normal one or blu_spark but none asked to decrypt data and in my internal storage my files were left all encrypted with those weird long file names.
Are you trying to say that all my data is lost even tho I know decryption key? All I did was update to Android O and I had backup and TWRP is showing that my internal storage is full but the files are all encrypted it wont ask me for decryption key. What can I do

Exactly. That's the weird problem. If I'm right we had to **** up something badly so that TWRP doesn't even know that our internal storage is encrypted and displaying the (encrypted) files just how they are. The problem in my case was that I couldn't even copy the encrypted files from internal storage to my PC or moving files from my PC to my device. The whole partition was just locked, I couldn't do anything on it, neither adb push or whatever else. Tried different TWRP versions but none asked me to decrypt.
I think the mistake is that if you install a new OS version which is somehow not backward/dirty flash compatible (like in my case the new oreo update) your pin/pattern will get deleted and because of that TWRP does not ask you to decrypt as the ROM is telling that you don't have a password set up! But the problem is when you install a new ROM, it wipes /sdcard so the data is lost if you don't find a way to somehow decrypt your internal storage. :/
Really bad to know you can't do anything at all even tho you know your decryption key - I hope someone finds a solution. I for myself wiped because I don't have so much time to look for a solution.

Hey everyone, I have a really frustrating problem, I am currently able to boot into TWRP via hardware method and ADB can see my device as well. However I have tried to install a stock system image through TWRP and I have also tried to install another TWRP backup that a user had posted in the Q&A forum. At one time I was able to successfully boot into the system but my device said encryption unsuccessful. After wiping the system partition and trying to install these images through TWRP I am still unable to boot into the system. Whenever I install them my phone will reboot into TWRP. I am at a loss as to what to do. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it.

I saw your other post in the other thread, but couldn't reply for some reason.. did you wipe the internal storage before restore?
Yes I did wipe the internal storage, I actually wiped everything the first time I tried to get everything in order and that was my original problem by wiping the system. I didn't realize that wiping internal storage would cause issues but that could have been one of the culprits. I think what finally solved my issue is I installed a deodexed rom and then powered down my device instead of rebooting and it booted up the rom. I had to flash SuperSU from a zip because for some reason the one that was preinstalled with that rom didn't install properly. So I installed the SuperSU zip and I am now officially rooted. Lesson learned DON'T WIPE SYSTEM OR INTERNAL STORAGE lol. I should have known better I have been rooting for awhile now, I just wasn't paying attention it happens to the best of us sometimes. Thanks for your help.

I used the deodexed ROM that is in the development forum. If I can upload it here I will if not just download it put it on your SD card and flash it. It may take a couple tries though I would suggest powering down your phone instead of rebooting it. Then turn it on and it should boot into the new rom. It's basically the same stock rom that our phone comes with. You may have to flash Chainfires SUPERSU zip that's in one of the threads. These steps should get you up and running again. Also if you can see your internal storage you're not encrypted. Hopefully that works for you. Let me know how it goes.
I wasnt able to upload the file from my phone. Just download it from here.

Flashing the rom helped me out. It's a system image file. It's basically the stock rom for our device just deodexed. What exactly happened what did you wipe after your phone booted into
TWRP? If you still have TWRP you're not bricked. If you can flash that image from the thread I copied above then you should be good. You may have to flash SUPERSU to get root back. Also after you flash make sure you're not encrypted if you can see your internal storage partition then you're not encrypted.

When you flashed the rom did you power the phone down and then try to boot into the rom? That's what I did and it worked for me. So don't select reboot into system, I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way. I had to power my device down and then boot into the room. Also if you can see your internal partition in TWRP then you should be good and encryption is not enabled. I know how frustrating this is. Just keep trying eventually that rom should stick.

There a stock rom that I posted a link to a few posts back when I trying to help someone else. Download it put it on your SD card and install it. You don't need to wipe anything it will format things for you. After it installs don't reboot, power down the device and then turn it back on it should boot into the rom. That's what worked for me. I believe there was another way then what I just described it's in the same thread that I linked a few posts back. Good luck!!

Same. Though I am on US996. Not sure what I did, was exploring some behind the scenes stuff using 'hidden codes' but didn't change any values as I didn't know what they meant in most cases. I rebooted my phone and it went straight to TWRP (3.0.2-1) and it will not boot past TWRP. Occasionally after I've flashed something, it will boot into TWRP and the screen will be unresponsive to touch so I have to pull the battery, but then it will be fine again.
I was in your position not to long ago, I'm currently working on getting a .kdz recovery file for the H918. My progress will continue on it later when finals are over.

Restore H918 to 100% Stock (!!REQUIRES TWRP!!)
Hi folks, first off English is not my main modus operandi so bear with me thx.
I tried out every room there is for the VNS-L31, CM13 from here, Revolution RC3 from a Spanish forum, Beanstalk and a few others what where more glorified reskins ... anyway before installing CM13 I made a full dump on TWRP but wile forgetting I wasn't on stock but on Revolution RC3, so I ended up with the wrong encryption key for the DATA folder, pardon me internal memory SD ... RRC3 is based on the European Stock B150 with a lot of tweaks, also a not perfect encryption of the internal SD similarly to CM13 problem with the SD.
Here is the main beef I am having, after getting of CM I tried to restore my dump and ended up ****ing up the encryption of the internal memory card. Now I can't got back to say the 161 internalional version and I am kinda bound to the European L31900B versions of the stock rom if I install anything else the accounts like Google or Facebook are not working and anything not installed already on the phone is FC.
I can't format data because of the encryption. Not under fastboot or any of the trwps, tried 3 different ones, I checkted the phone is not frp. I did lock frp and bootloader again and unlocked them so to double make sure I was right on that one. I tried going back to stock with the dload method but no dice data still locked. Delete accounts with root explorer and went back to vnsl31900b130 what seams to be the firmware that I am stuck on now with the ****ed up encryption ....
I am used to flashing stuff left and right but this is new land for me any help would be greatly appreciate ... And my warning DONT SCREW WITH TGE ENCRYPTION ON YOUR PHONE ... ITS A *****!!!!

Nope I deleted everything in TWRP, System, Cust, that is not a problem, the data partition on the other hand I can't format not I twrp, or by fastboot erase/format/-w commands ...

when you flash the oem info didnt it say unable to mount data? like before?
Hi so I just rooted my op6t yesterday after having it for a couple weeks and I did everything fine and installed a couple root apps. I later discovered custom kernels and wanted to flash one. I went into twrp and all the folders were weird names and the same thing shows on my computer when I plug the phone in. After looking it up my phone is encrypted. I never clicked anything that said to encrypted my phone and it wasn't encrypted before. In Android it says it's encrypted and now I have to reset it to unencrypt it? I'm ok with that but that's a little annoying. Some people said something about a bug in twrp that has to do with encryption but I'm confused why my phone just did that. I restored apps and settings with Google backup which I ran right before I rooted the phone and restored right after I rooted it. Does anyone know what caused it to encrypt itself and how I can prevent it from doing it again? Thanks.
Sounds like you need to do a lot more reading before you attempt to modify your phone. The phone comes encrypted from the factory. There are plenty of topics about this exact issue. Also, if you had read anything in this thread then you would see that decryption in TWRP was fixed a while ago. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482)
are you sure you had encryption disabled before? my 6t was encrypted from the beginning. I installed root with twrp by using ADB sideload and I never used the file explorer from twrp itself.
if encryption was off, this happened on my old Nexus 6 sometimes too after installing a custom kernel. it was every time really annoying that I got force encrypted even when the kernel builder stated that it does not...

Maybe it was encrypted from the factory. I could access files through my computer though. Should I reset the phone and flash twrp again then turn off encryption in Android settings? I'm a bit new to this so I'm not entirely sure. I just followed the guide on xda for rooting and unlocking the 6t bootloader.

You should still be able to access files from the computer.
The phone should work fine.
It's just that the version of TWRP you have does not support encryption.

I think it does though I tried the decrypt command in twrp terminal but it failed. It wants a password and I tried my pin which didn't work.

Hey guys,
Recently after flashing the latest AICP rom, my internal storage is no longer working!!! No matter what I did, I restored to back up, changed rom, format data or change data system file, nothing worked!!!
I cannot take any photo or screenshot or even download images due to limited storage eventhough I have 50 g worth of free space!!! I can only ever access anything through TWRP (that is a good sign, I think)!!!
Did some research, but was told that I need to qfil?! Can someone give me a simple and easy instruction to do that if it is what it takes to fix it?

Hey guys,
Recently after flashing the latest AICP rom, my internal storage is no longer working!!! No matter what I did, I restored to back up, changed rom, format data or change data system file, nothing worked!!!
I cannot take any photo or screenshot or even download images due to limited storage eventhough I have 50 g worth of free space!!! I can only ever access anything through TWRP (that is a good sign, I think)!!!
Did some research, but was told that I need to qfil?! Can someone give me a simple and easy instruction to do that if it is what it takes to fix it? This is really the first time I ever heard of qfil!!! While I would say that I am comfortable with technology, this is reaally out there for me and I will be the first one to admit that I am a noob here!!!
Please help me out as I am really desperate and I really love this phone!!!

had this issue in my Lex727
for this u'll need an otg pen drive.
download latest twrp, & required rom
transfer them into pen drive
now boot into twrp and format storage via twrp itself(do not reboot yet)
update to the latest twrp/if u r on latest twrp u might wana change it and flash rom after that.
at last reboot ur device and voilaaaa ur internal storage shown as it is.
note: do not reboot until u are done with all of the steps above.
Hi,
Thanks for the response! I think that I might have already done what you mentioned! I have formatted the storage (do you mean the format data in the wipe function?)
Is it the same thing as an otg pen drive if I sideload latest rom into the device to flash? Because that is what l have done!
Thanks!

After you format internal storage through twrp( inwipe menu) its mendatory you flash latest/diffrent twrp. After that you may flash any rom and reboot once.
Let me know if these are the exact steps you took.
Howdy!
I had my 6T PERFECT, just like I wanted it.....exactly like I wanted it.
I downloaded the latest OOS update, clicked ok when it told me my phone would be unrooted after the update, something that DID NOT happen with my last update. I figured no problem, I will just root the phone after the update.
Well, TWRP recovery is gone. I boot into the Oxygen recovery screen. I have a Titanium backup folder that has a boat load of files I do not know how to use. TWRP still has a folder on my phone with 2 back ups in it.
I did a quick search and checked with google and can't find an answer simple enough for me to use.
How can I do a back up of my phone that will restore it just like it is, without me having to set up all the apps again, and set up my launchpad again like I want it.?
Question 2, how do I use the back up files I already have and will that do what I am wanting to do?
I may be hoping for something that does not exist, but I would like to root my phone, restore a backup, and upon reboot see the exact same phone I am looking at now. I can transfer the back up files to my computer no problem, but I don't know if that will accomplish my goal.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks Striatum, that will help in the future, however, it does not address the questions in my post.

Flash again twrp through fastboot (many guides here and there) flash Magisk and restore your backup, either the twrp ones either titanium backup
Thank you. I will see if I can muddle through either of those.
It looks as though I may have asked the wrong question. Perhaps I should have asked "if my bootloader is already unlocked can I reflash twrp and magisk after an OOS OTA update without wiping my data". I am back up and running with a rooted phone and did not lose any of my data or settings. Thanks for the help.

....I perfectly understood what you wanted to know.
This is basic knowledge, the answer is yes
How can you mess with your /data partition when twrp and Magisk are dealing with /boot partition
Thank you for the clarification.
Basic knowledge for you guys perhaps, but not for a newbie at the stage I am at. Well, where I was before you straightened me out! LOL.
After flashing a custom ROM in TWRP, when I reboot into recovery and click install, all of the directories have turned into folders with names that look like random letters and numbers, and I can no longer read/write from that internal SD card. Anyone know what is going on or have a solution? I don't want to lose my backups or data, that would suck. But if I have to to get my internal storage back, then fine. Thanks in advance if you can help!!!

No need to post your issue in multiple threads...
This has nothing to do with backup it's an encryption hiccup.

I'm in same position. I lost root/twrp after local update. I can just flash twrp again and magisk without loosing data?

That is correct. You can flash both without losing any data. That is exactly what I did......and exactly what I was unsure of.
