Hey, so I rooted my Galaxy S7 edge exynos, and everything was great. However, when I boot into recovery, TWRP can't do anything. It can't backup, install images, nothing. It says my memory is 0mb, and if I try to backup it says "cannot mount /data and unable to find crypto footer". I can restart my phone to system and everything works perfectly. Is there a way to fix this? I'm using latest version of TWRP (3.0.2)
Thanks guys!

FORMAT DATA, it's explicitly stated in the instructions. You must format data to wipe encryption.

Is there no way around this at all? It's really a hassle having to reset my phone every time.
Is there at least a way to install xposed without formatting?
Thanks!

You only do this once, use flashfire or titanium backup to backup your stuff.
did you flash this after TWRP?
"If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP."

same here !:<
Same problem a few days ago. Caused by secure startup or encrypt device obviously lol. Only fix for read/write on data/internal storage is factory reset in stock recovery. Unfortunately this was the only fix for my fussy G935F.
TWRP couldn't mount data to wipe anyway I tried and the only way to flash was through selecting extSD.
i dont have escription enabled though ._.

I find a solution, just go in wipe and format data , it will removes encryption on internal storage. if not works try a factory reset in stock recovery them try again, S7 is encrypted out of the box and Twrp can't read or mount data. Works for me in G935F.
how long does it take to format? i chose exfat and it's taking ages... am i doing something wrong?

i unlocked a nexus 5 and got the same problem, formatted data, all seems good now
is there a way to save my data? my phone is oneplusone
if you use twrp to flash xposed, it'll still work. But your data is still encrypted.
Should I do anything else after the Formating data (install TWRP again, root again...)?
I remember that I did format data in my last phone and it completely deleted everything including OS, so now im little afraid.
Currently I can't do nothing in TWRP, not wipe and not backup...

Just format data and you will be able to use twrp.

Thanks, it worked! Too bad that the only way to get this is by loosing all the data .
Hi all,
I followed instruction on installing TWRP and also have root. I also installed the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip file, but I still can't access internal SD. It says 0mb. Also after installing the zip it similar stated 'unable to mount'.
When I try to format data it can't mount it.
am i missing a step??
ideas?
Thanks in advance...
PS: not sure if this is relevant, but it keep coming up with the same flash screen message: "keep system read only?"
I tick the box says don't display this, and swipe to allow modifications, but get this message every time.

You have to format the data after you installed twrp. And then you can flash supersu and no verity opt thingie.
Thanks for the reply... It wont let me format it. 'says can not mount'
I'm having the same issue here. Although I can root, I cannot wipe data, so no way to install a custom ROM
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'm sorry if this is posted again but I can't find anything about my problem.
My Mi A1 in unrooted.
I had installed gcam without rooting it to continue receiving OTA, after the latest update I wanted to disable gcam. During the process the application unlocked the bootloader but didnt lock it again.
When I disabled it after the reboot my phone did a factory reset and enrypted itself. I want to decrypt my phone so I used some ways I found on the internet like:
Simple factory reset.
Locked bootloader.
Factory reset again, even though after the lock it did it itself.
Flashed fastboot stock rom.
Flashed twrp read only, wiped system and flashed fastoboot stock rom again!
Still the phone forced encrypt itself after every way I tried:
For gcam I used this way: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585
I didn't check the thread because I already had the app to do the installation.
For fastboot installation I used this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
EDIT: What if I unlock the bootloader with MiUnlock and relock it via fastboot?
Phone is encrypted by default. Why would you want to have it decrypted? But if you insist.. you have to install magisk, disable forced encryption and reformat data partition in TWRP.
Locking or unlocking the bootloader after May update wipes your data, this is normal for Android and now our phones.
Encryption is default, it would have been encrypted before the wipe as it is now after the wipe, why do you want it unencrypted?

Thank you very much, I never experienced this again after unlocking so I thought it was because of the encrypt, I hadn't checked if it was encrypted before the wipe and I assumed it wasn't.

I didn't know the phone was encrypted by default.
Thank you for the possible way though.
Yeah, it is encrypted by default and hw encryption is used. So don't think that it can affect your performance in any way.

After reformatting data partition, do I need to do anything else?

Keep Magisk installed, otherwise it will probably get encrypted again by stock boot image. Not sure, I didn't try it.. I want my data secure.
Hello,
So I tried to install LineageOS 17 (Android 10). And there were errors. So I decided to return to RR. And what i see is that the data is encrypted and I have to format my phone. When I click on this button phone restarts to recovery(orange fox) where I have to enter PIN. And everything is fine but in logs I see this:
Failed to encrypt data.
Unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to perform a Format Data.
Unable to mount storage
I can't use my device now. After booting to system same button and text appears. Please help
Update.
When I was writing this thread I couldn't find option Format Data but when I was searching in the recovery I finnaly found it. Now everything works fine
I don't think you can flash anything without first formatting the storage . This happened for me on Redmi6pro (sakura). That was the only option left for me that time.
hope you had a back up otherwise you will lost your files.
if you had a pin to unlock your phone put that ping in the box asking for decrypt the phone. if that doesn't work you may need to format data and reinstall.
If that's the case, restart into recovery (power+vol_up)
-go to manage partitions, format data partition.
-restart to recovery
-full wipe (data, dalvik, cache system)
-flash rom (can be the same) after a format and full wipe should work well i had lineage and was great.
-restart to recovery
- flash gapps and magisk if you like.
-restart into system.
Hope you get luck.,

If you this exact text, then you can pretty much say goodbye to the data from internal storage. At this point, there no way to rescue the files... Sadly, had the exact thing happen to me & I lost all my stuff
My device bootlooped after new update, it seemed fine, i update it normally last week and it worked fine. today i did a TWRP backup of all of the partitions and then rebooted and it went into bootloop. I was able to flash all the partitions again with the flash-all-partitions.bat and got it out of fastboot. Now i can boot TWRP with an .img again.
The problem is that my data is all encrypted, like it mounts but its all in ramdom folders with ramdom names, and TWRP is not asking for the code to decrypt it. I dont know how to decrypt the data. How can i decrypt it? ( i know the code as it was my password).
Thank you
I would say format data and re-flash rom via twrp, that should remove encryption (but you loose all of your data) and you should be able to normally boot.
