[ORIGINAL FIX] TO GET RID OF Data Encryption Problem On AOSP & Other Roms

The solution is very simple and ive tested it on more then 5 different senarios when i get the bug.
1. install TWRP recovery (you can even sideload it with fastboot if you dont wanna install it on phone(if you got stock recovery etc.), with this command "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img"
2. make a full wipe, check all boxes except external SD :highfive:, that will erase /data/media and also /data where the encryption bug lies.
3. install your ROM or restore your ROM from backup.
4. then reboot recovery and flash the recovery you want (or sideload it with the command above).
5. done, now the encryption bug is gone :good:
if this still dont work, try the solution given by maxrdlf95 in his thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773203

So, what youre basically saying is wipe data? I think the point is most people dont wanna do that, and doesnt the other fix allow you to fix the issue without wiping? Just trying to understand...

Make a full backup of your ROM first, then my steps (cwm, philz won't work).
Then Restore backup...
Philz and cwm won't wipe the important parts, so with them the bug will still be there. So twrp with all options check will do the trick.

This method worked for me. I selected all options except external sd card when wiping. Wiping failed. Then I went to format data, typed in "yes" and formatted my internal storage. I then went back to select all option to wipe everything and surprisingly "It Worked", I was able to wipe everything and restore my rom successfully.
Thanks for this!!! (AT&T User!)

Sorry...wrong thread

Nobody is going to know what that means. You need to provide details and specifics on what you tried, what exact step you got stuck, including details on error messages or other results on the phone's screen, computer screen, etc.
Responding with one sentence like you did, and expecting anyone to be able to help, is not the proper way to post or ask for help.
You can't install TWRP with a locked bootloader. You need to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com. If you had problems with the bootloader unlock process, you need to be specific on what step, and what errors you encountered; of you expect us to advise you.

XT1572 every time reboot enter in mode fastboot

Hello,
The first day I got my moto x style (XT1572) I started to root, everything was more or less well until I tried to install the SU when I finished installing the binary from the TWRP custom recovery-3.0.2-0- clark you say yes to install the root since the phone would not start and remains in boot loop.
After much look I followed some tutorial XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/brick-downgrade-6-0-to-5-1-heeeeelp-t3253716) to return to flash the phone with the rom that theory came from factory cbox1s_XT1572_CLARK_RETEU_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-3_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml after following all the steps mobile and well lit and seems it was all sorted.
Well, I went back to the load to make root and remove the message that the bootloader was unlocked this time all fu well, except now every time I reboot I enter into fastboot mode and have to select START to boot normal to me.
Any ideas or suggestions to fix it?
regards,
PD: Sorry for my google translate english i'am spanish a my english level is very bad :crying:

SOLVED, the problem was the BP Tools in the fastboot, i had "Fastboot Reason: UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot" i changed to "Normal Powerup" and all perfect

same problem with Motorola z xt1650-03 , unlocked bootloader , every time I start up remain stuck in fastboot mode , after ,push the power button for start , and start normal.

What? how do you do it? can you tell me how to do it more specific? I'm new so I don't understand what you mean and how you do it :/
thank you.

Moto devices have a flashing mode called "fb_mode" that when enabled causes the bootloader to start on each boot, it is used for flashing stock firmware images since in some cases the device needs to reboot after flashing a certain partition or image and it needs a way to return to the fastboot mode. Remember when flashing a stock image you may have entered "fastboot oem fb_mode_set"? If not then a toolkit or other flashing tool may have done it but not cleared it correctly. To clear it manually you need to literally clear it with a fastboot command... With the phone in the bootloader, enter this command from your computer"
fasboot oem fb_mode_clear
And reboot, it should no longer go to the bootloader unless you are holding VOL DN and the operating system should start normally.

Yea I do need help, I had flashed a custom rom with twrp recovery on my phone but every time I reboot I either loads into recovery or boot loader if I fb mode clear or not. Even if theirs a system to boot, I have to manually boot into through boot loader and start. If I go to bootloader logs it just says reboot mode set to fastboot.

There is no problem... The Moto X does not have A/B software slots, the messages above are merely informational and completely normal.

With mfastboot there is no messages like this. Only "OKAY" one
However it didn't help with my Moto G (falcon).
What helped was checking the kernel. My "smartness" told me to flash Nouagt when I had Pie rom...

[SOLVED] [XT1572] Fully bricked or is there a solution ?

Hey there,
To make it short, the phone was rooted, bootloader unlocked, and it was on Resurrection Remix (don't know which one, it was Nougat 7.1.2).
I tried to restore it back to stock, lock the bootloader etc (following this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110 which has files for xt1572 too ).
During the process, I got the error that a lot of people get about the Preflash validation error and yet i went through, except that I still locked at the end (I did not notice the Note about it below the command lines, I so regret it).
I also flashed the original Motorola logo (instead of "Bootloader is unlocked"), but I don't think this has anything to do with the fact that it got bricked (I can be wrong though).
Now, I can't access the phone through the cable. adb devices (with killing and restarting server) doesn't detect anything, I'm just stuck on the big Motorola logo splash screen.
Anyone has any idea on any possible way to unbrick it ? (I heard about qualcomm hsusb something but I'm just not sure where it can lead)
Thanks !

@pef6000
Bootloader is locked? What is status code...?

can't you use fastboot (from device turned off hold power + vol down) and flash stock motorola rom?

Hey there, thanks for your answers.
I can't access bootloader nor fastboot. adb doesn't show any device anymore.
I cannot even turn on or off the phone. It just reboots even if I long-press the power button. It just boots back up, and I can only leave it like this until battery is depleted.

Hold power, when screen turn off hold only vol-. It should go to bootloader.
Check and post here BL status. @pef6000
---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Btw, if you will go to bootloader mode(locked) - you can only flash again stock 6.0.1(newest).
Without bootloader and gpt.
Check how many sparsechunks you have in zip file, I think from 0 to 11.

Sorry for being late. I tried that yesterday, but one problem after another, Windows died
I'll pass some time on it whenever I get the computer working.
I tried starting in BL and it worked !
I think the fact that it wasn't working before was due to the phone bootlooping directly on splash screen (maybe, I don't know).
Here, battery was dead since I couldn't turn it off. So I plugged the phone in while keeping vol- pressed, and it booted immediately in.
Couldn't get a hold of the status code though, the computer rebooted and crashed, so I had something else in mind, sorry :/
Anyway, I'll do that whenever I can, thanks for your help !

Here again. I accessed bootloader and I get :
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
[…]
Console [NULL]: null
Battery OK (charging)
Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3
Software status: Modified
Before this problem, when I tried to flash everything, I have parsechunks from 0 to 8, not 11.
Now, I don't really know what to do. Should I do everything back again with a 6.0.1 zip ?

Yes.
Without bootloader, gpt and Don't lock BootLoader.

Hey.
I did it, didn't lock bootloader, didn't flash bootloader.img nor gpt.bin, but it still freezes on the splash screen logo. I suppose it woudn't take as much as 15 to 30 minutes to switch from that splash screen to any other screen.
The bootloader is still accessible, and I still have the same things (unlocked, status 3, etc).
Am I doing something wrong ? :/

What is your model and what rom are you flashing?
What do you have on pc after: "fastboot getvar all"? @pef6000

It's a XT1572, European (got it in France).
I'm trying to flash the one for XT1572 in the link with the instructions : https://dl.prazaar.de/?dir=Android/XT1572/Factory/6.0.1/MPHS24.107-58-5_September_2016

Yes, I did all of this, everything turns out ok except one error (the Preflash Validation).
Now that I read it again, the post says it happens on gpt.bin, except I didn't flash it as you said.
I just did it again and I get it again at this step :

Is it possible your last stock system was 6.0?

on MPHS24.49-18-4... I would suggest using the same version or XT1572_CLARK_RETEU_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and NOT 6.0.1. The 6.0.1 versions were only for certain variants, and I do not know if the RETFR ones had that.
And don't skip the bootloader or gpt UNLESS they actually fail... It is best to do it like this:
Also, if possible boot into the factory recovery and perform a full factory reset before beginning.
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

My 2 cents worth... hope it helps.

@acejavelin Oh damn, thank you. I thought I checked correctly but I didn't notice the IMEI in there.
Thank you both for your help. Phone booted up on original rom, I'm happy
I'll mark this post as Solved, but I have a quick question : Can I use the XT1575 logo.bin found here :https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...o-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-t3201141
Or is it better not to do so ?

Yes you can.
Or any from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/themes-apps/boot-animation-logo-bin-t3558942 @pef6000
Btw.
You flashed ...18-8 or 18-4? Maybe someone will need it in future.

@pef6000 Any of these or the one you mentioned is fine.

Sorry for the late answer, I flashed the 18-8 in the end.
Thanks again, I'll mark this as solved !

remote: oem unlocked is not allowed [Mi A1]

Hello everyone.
I got this problem today. My Mi A1 doesn't want to unlock the bootloader, and I follow all the instructions. In the cmd, when I type "fastboot oem unlock", this error appears "remote: unlock is not allowed".
Besides, the smartphone is frozen on the screen of initialization of Mi, making it impossible for me to go in the administrator options of the device.

Please describe what you did to the phone before it got to this state.

I tried to install the gcam on the device and had to unlock the bootloader. At first work, I unlock it, and went to install gcam but it did not work so well. After that my device had some performance problems and I decided to reinstall the ROM using MiFlash.
As I was giving errors and I could not install by MiFlash, I searched for tutorials on Youtube, trying to install without MiFlash, I found some but did not work again. So, I decided to type in the cmd "flashboot oem lock" because I thought this would be the problem that I could not install the ROM by MiFlash and again, it worked, I managed to block it.
However, after searching again, I discovered that I had to unlock it, so I typed the "flashboot oem unlock" command and gave this error, and when I turn on the phone, just appear a white screen with Mi logo.

Are you sure that you have Mi A1 phone? What was the system version before you tried to install Gcam?

I sure, the system was Android 8.0. Android One.

Did you enable OEM unlocking from the Developer Options? Probably not. Enable it first and try again.

Like I said, I can't. My smartphone is in mode bootloop.

Connect your phone in fastboot mode and type in "fastboot getvar all" and share the output please.

Try flashing in edl mode, in fastboot type in cmd: fastboot oem edl, it will give you a fail. It's normal, you should have a black screen and the led blinking. Look if the drivers are installed and after install with MiFlash.

To be honest, nothing happened to the device, it still continues in "fastboot" mode after typing the command and no led blinks.

Try updating the driver, you can get from this sit: https://www.androidbrick.com/download/qualcomm_diag_qd_loader_2016_qfil_driver/

Is "allow OEM unlcking" enabled ?? If not you can enable from developer options .

Could you follow that same procedure of locking OEM and then booting into the ROM ? (,Just asking,not giving a solution)

I install the driver, write "fastboot oem edl" command, nothing changes.
I think I screwed up realy bad.

This is happening
I found a video that shows the SAME PROBLEM I'm having with my Mi A1.
Why can not I fix the problem? I can not unlock the bootloader.

[HELP][BRICK] ZE552KL Z012DC doesn't boot to system

Hello guys,
I need help. Definitely
My phone stopped booting into system after some service.
First a little brief:
Phone never showed any problems before.
LCD+Touch were replaced.
Phone stopped booting into system.
Stills boots/ works perfectly in fastboot, recovery and userdebug.
Tried:
factory reset
unlocking and relocking bootloader
flashing several factory and stock RAWs
stock recovery and TWRP
stock raw alone
update stock system from stock raw
twrp + stock rom + magisk
twrp + lineageos + magisk
several guides on this forum
Nothing works. Problem remains the same, doesn’t matter the alternative I try.
Now the whole story:
I’ve had this phone for a while. Always did the OTA updates. Never had problems… at all.
Some days ago, I dropped it and was finally able to break the screen. The lcd became black in some spots and had different brightness in others. Touch kind of worked, kind of got crazy after some seconds (and I had to turn the screen off and on again).
I’ve got some experience in repairing electronics and phones. So, I watched/read a dozen guides about this particular service, bought an original LCD+Touch kit, and replaced myself.
No apparent problems with that. The process is quite simple and straight forward. (I knew what I was doing. But if you tell me something might be wrong with that, I will look into it. I will take any help. Just tell me what to do.)
And so it begins.
I set my phone up again - without gluing anything, as it was the first test – and turn it on. It seems to boot normally… boot logo shows normally… boot animation seems to take longer than usual… the screen suddenly goes black.
I open the whole thing again, check every connector, everything is ok.
I try to turn it on again, now the phone turns off after just one or two seconds of boot animation.
I did then a factory reset, problem persisted just the same.
I thought to myself: “ok, then. System must be somehow corrupted.”
I updated the system to the lasted version in ASUS website trough adb sideload. Problem persisted.
“ok, maybe I must clear the system partition then… let’s go a little further”.
I read some guides, and proceeded to unlock the bootloader (flash factory raw, fastboot commands, flash oreo raw), flash TWRP and LineageOS.
When I turn it on again, a bit of hope. Boot animation takes, again, a long time. An “encrypting device” screen comes up and I believe it’s finally over. But no. The phone goes off after about 10 seconds of supposed encrypting and, when I turn it on again, same as before… two seconds of boot animation and then darkness.
After that I Just went deeper into the habbit hole.
Tried several brick fixes in sent by the XDA community.
Tried flashing RAWs using Asus Flash Tool (v1.0.0.86 (20201124)) and flashall_AFT.cmd (that comes inside de RAWs.
Tried all combination and orders I could imagine of the following RAWs:
CSC_ZE552KL_13.1301.1603.53_WW_Lock_20171128
CSC_ZE552KL_13_13_1_36_M2_6_7_P7_userdebug
WW_ZE552KL_13.20.10.137_M3.10.35_Phone-user.raw
WW_ZE552KL_14.2020.1703.28_M3.10.47.3_Phone-user.raw
WW_ZE552KL_15.0410.1712.31_M3.10.47.16_Phone-user.raw
WW_ZE552KL_15.0410.1807.75_M3.10.47.19_Phone-user.raw
It doesn’t matter. Whenever I flash a RAW, the phone goes to this encrypting process and then goes black. From there on, I can flash anything through adb sideload, fastboot or twrp…. It shows the boot logo, (possibly shows the dm-verity screen, depending on the set up), and goes off after about 2 seconds of boot animation.
Tested everything I could with TWRP: LCD, Touch, mounting partitions and storage seem to be working fine.
Tested everything I could with the factory RAW userdebug (using command fastboot oem enable-userdebug boots a very simple system (there’s an image below)): Again, LCD and touch work fine. Also, hard keys, wifi, Bluetooth, calling, messaging, 4G and both speakers are working.
And there we get to present time. I just don’t know what else I can do.
My next steps would be going into QFIL flashing. That would actually be new to me. But since I can use all these functions properly, it doesn’t seem to me that that’s the way to go.
Please help. I will take anything. Tell what I may have passed by. Send me the guides you think may help me, even if I’ve already tried.
I can give you any information you guys believe is pertinent.
I will start leaving here some info I think may help:
