Yo. I got my Nexus 6P the other day and immediately flashed CM13 on it, and came across a couple of problems. I used the following guide, step by step: (Can't post links. but it's on Devs-Lab)
So, first off, after finishing everything (Unlocking the bootloader, Rooting & Installing Recovery and finally installing CM13) I came across a couple of problems. Firstly, my phone refused to start as it couldn't be decrypted even though I never encrypted it or set a password for the encryption (which it asked me for, to decrypt) so I tried to factory reset the phone. Didn't work, formated the phone which did work and now it launches / works with no issues. However, every time I start the phone it tells me that the device is corrupted and can't be trusted. What's up with this?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
I don't have CM installed but what you are describing is normal. Read this:
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6185381?p=verified_boot&rd=1
Ah yeah, you're right.
But what about the encryption thing? It's sketchy as ****, I know for sure I didn't encrypt the phone myself / set a password to decrypt it.

The device comes encrypted out the box.

3. How To Decrypt Your Data Partition

And according to that thread, formatting your phone will remove the encryption. Which it did. Gotcha.
Last thing, why did it ask me for a password to decrypt? Or, why didn't I have that password? Mostly out of curiosity.
Hey guys , Since I upgraded to Nougat, my phone is pre-encrypted and why can't I decrypt it? Why is it like this? I want to decrypt it so that my phone will be a little faster. So how can I decrypt it?
Unlock, install twrp and format data.

Can't I just do it without unlocking? I can encrypt and unencrypt the phone easily(factory rest) on all my other devices?And any clues why is it pre-encrypted?
I suppose you could try a factory reset in stock recovery.

I've reset factory a couple times but that option is not choosable and it is written encrypted.
I mean I haven't even encrypted my phone ever , so why is it encrypted?Is it done automatically? What about yours?Is it pre-encrypted too?

Boot into TWRP and change the data partition type from f2s to EXT4.

Zte stock rom comes pre-encrypted on every new install. The only way to bypass it is to edl flash a stock rom with twrp. Boot right into twrp after the flash. Find a modded stock boot.img that has a modded fstab, flash it, then boot and your phone will be unencrypted with the stock rom.
Thank you all. I'll do as you said and unencrypt it.
DEAR ZTE CUSTOMER,
Pls describe clearly about the situation of your encrypted phone, because our developer confused about such encrypted issues. BTW, please provide your phone'IMEI.
Thank you!

No issues. It is encrypted by default in stock ROM.
This guy seems to be spamming and looking for imei info.
Mine is encrypted. Brand new out of box, updated to B10 MM then to B04 Nougat 7.1.1
What are the implications of it being encrypted? Mine is remaining stock, not even TWRP recovery or root. I'm happy if it's secure as I have personal and work SIM in it and will be using a couple of apps that look for root. Kind of tired of modding phones, just want life to be simple and reliable, able to take updates when I like. The work Nexus 5X was a ****ty phone but I got used to it being updated. It's a rare one that doesn't bootloop and is on Oreo but I hate carrying two phones thus the reason for buying the Axon 7 for dual SIM.

I don't believe you'll get more performance out of an unencrypted phone, or not enough to justify it for that matter. also, on some phones you need it not to be encrypted if you want to see the internal storage in TWRP, but on this phone it doesn't happen.
You can fix it in your settings--hand design(sort of, I guess),or you can update the latest version from ZTE office website. Good luck!
Ok it doesn't matter what I do I end up with a decrypted phone it doesn't matter what ROM I use or if I go stock rom.......
The moment I reboot or swap Sim card it instantly boot loop and I go in to recovery and it asks me for a password to decrypt it and when I flash it back to stock with stock bootloader and lock the bootloader up it doesn't play the video property and no sound........ZTE is not a good product.

I have followed every thing that I was told to do to unlock the bootloader if I didn't it would have never been unlocked so saying that the encryption by automatically generated is the problem even when I flash stock rom back and don't use any password the thing is still encrypted that is the problem.
The AXON 7 is a very good smartphone until people try to put custom Rom on it. I have never tried and I will not to do it.... Don't complain about a product you've decided to modify by yourself. The problem is not the smartphone.

But it is when they removed the options for me to encrypt the device and allow it by default........this is the problem I am having.....
Do a full wipe, format data and or internal storage maybe.
After flashing ROM also flash root. Doing the latter kept encryption from happening for me (a long time ago though).

I think Axon 7 is encrypted by default on stock ROM (it says encrypted in settings/security) and can not be changed as it is fot me.
I also noticed that a newly flashed recovery asks you for a password, even thought I haven't encrypted the phone at that point, but do you know how I got past this? I clicked cancel... Atleast on TWRP this worked every time... Moreover if you correctly install LineageOS for example, you can encrypt your phone. I did it once after a complete wipe (because I soft bricked the phone), and it stayed encrypted ever since.
However if you try to modify your phone for the first time, I'm pretty sure you have to flash via EDL/Fastboot/ADB. EDL is the easiest way since there are tools for getting SU access and unlocking the bootloader I think. ADB works too but it's a little more complicated. This is because (like almost (is there even one?) every other manufacturer) ZTE doesn't allow flashing or getting SU access by default, so customers don't brick their phone
User unlocks bootloader (which ZTE does not officially support), starts flashing things (again not supported by ZTE) and then blames ZTE as if its their fault!?!?!?!?!

-ZTE is not a product
-You want your phone to be encrypted? Flash the stock ROM, then start the phone. If you want root install it AFTER the ROM boots for the first time, because Magisk or SuperSU turns encryption off.
If the recovery asks you for a password then your phone is ENcrypted, not decrypted. If you want DEcryption, FORMAT the internal storage and then flash Magisk Then you can reboot.

It's not the phone fault when you are not smart enough to unlock bootloader. ) Victims blame?

The password is not by ZTE, it belong to android 7 or above by default. There no valid password, so you have to bypass it somehow. I not quite remember because I have to use so many methods, I wiped the phone up or miflashing or using axon tools.
The most easy way may be you have to miflash to an old version stock firmware, unlock the phone, install twpr, and flash the latest rom.
This is typical story, didn't take backups, didn't read, my own fault. Just want you guy to help me to let go.
Xiaomi Mi A1 .
Android 8.1 July Updates.
Followed this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-google-camera-hdr-eis-xiaomi-mi-a1-without-root/
After oem unlock and reboot, got fully mint condition android, no files, no apps nothing. Don't remembrer if internal memory was encrypted.. maybe.. before I've removed pin and fingerprint.
After that, rooted phone using this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBkWUhJiqq8
Tried https://www.easeus.com - found nothing.
Can somebody just say: "It is impossible to restore any data after oem unlock and data being wiped out?"
Can I take some raw filesystem image and try to recover at least something?
IF your phone was encrypted, and got wiped during unlocking You can't do anything, especially on Oreo :c
I am not sure, but as Android clean itself, it not simply delete files, but overwrite space, that those files were stored on, to prevent unauthorised access.
you should've backed up before oem unlocking but if u ask me its good to reset ur phone because then u realize what apps u actually need and you will also realize it doesn't take that long to download the apps and btw you should enable the auto backuping feature so it doesn't matter if u forgot to backup because when u will reset ur phone u can access the backup that was backed up not that long ago

Yeah, thanks, it made me feel better but I've lost photos and files, that were important to me, and I'm paranoid enough not to have automatic backups to google
Try Disk Digger for Android. It helped me many times on PC. May be viable on android too. Use root mode if you can.

I dont know what files you lost but you should use google photos so it automatically backs up photos when u just take them, and also what is there to be paranoid of from enabling automatic backups from google?
So the new security patch bricked my 8 pro into qualcomm crash dump screen.
I have done no funny business at all, yes my bootloader is unlocked and yes I have root. But it is only for basic things like titanium backup and permission ruler. I have never done anything crazy with my phone, never even flashed a rom, my phone has been rooted for well over a year and I always install all the security patches so this was super random and I'm pissed off.
Anyways I cannot find a video about recovering the phone without erasing everything and I thought this was only necessary when you DON'T have an unlocked bootloader. I thought it was possible to flash oxygen with fastboot and it fixes the problem. But I just dont know exactly how to do this and I didnt want to screw up anything. I'm totally fine with losing root and having the bootloader locked again I just really want to save my data. Any help and I would be grateful, because at this point I'm going to work tommorow without my phone.

If phone is accessible via ADB ( no bootloop ! ) then you can pull the data of interest by means of ADB-commands to a connected computer.

Far as I'm aware the security patch was incremental and not a full update, seeing as you're rooted then I'd advise against installing incremental updates, when you update get the full one and pull the boot image for instances just like this.
Easiest way out of this is MSM although if you can obtain the boot image from 9.9 then you may be able to save it by booting that image / patched image.
