Nougat 7.0, twrp-3.2.3-0.
When factory reset from the operating system "prior to reset I remove security lock & google account", the phone boots into twrp recovery at the main home screen. Isn't "if I recall correctly" twrp suppose to jump to the cmd window and do auto factory reset when performing factory reset from the OS?
Something is wonky with my phone which I did a fastboot cmd fresh install of nougat using this guide here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1575-moto-x-pure-edition-factory-t3704142
after a few weeks of rooting, installing apps and using the phone, I went into system settings/apps and found two theme layers I did not install on this fresh install of nougat but had previous install of the OS, also I found that advance download manager app is not intercepting download links as it should which in the previous install of nougat had the same problem "hence the reason of factory reset and FR did not work so I fastbooted all the nougat files found in above link guide" so I am thinking for some reason that factory reset/fresh flash of the OS that some settings and apps are not getting a reset.
I am probably the only one with these weird phenomenons but just wondering if anyone else have ran into anything like this and I am looking for a solution or recommendation.
So.
1)Factory reset from the OS suppose to auto factory reset from twrp from a cmd window thingy?
2)Anyone run into these weird phenomenons?
What I ended up doing is fastboot flashed all new nougat moto files to my phone, booted into system and did a factory reset, flashed twrp, all is working great now.

Hi,
I'm on latest M version, latest TWRP, systemless root and Despair kernel 3.1.
When I first installed TWRP it couldn't decrypt partitions, so I had to install a kernel that disables force encrypt and factory reset the phone. So I ended up with un-encrypted partitions.
Now, TWRP supports decryption so I thought to encrypt the partitions. I went to Security -> Encrypt phone. This has been hanging on Android animation logo for 2.5hrs and no indication when it will finish.
Has anyone had a similar problem ?
What are my chances that it will complete gracefully and I wont need to factory reset the phone once again?

Chances are very low. I had the same issue and the only way I was able to fix it was to use the Google factory image and completely wipe the phone. Then boot it before flashing anything including TWRP. It encrypts in about a minute. Setup the phone, and then flash TWRP, modified root boot image if you want, and the corresponding SU zip.

[unnecessary background information] A while back I decided to encrypt my OnePlus 2 - mostly to compare its performance with my Nexus 6P, which is also (obviously) encrypted. Today I decided I was tired of Oxygen OS and wanted to install CM13 since Grarak had gotten the fingerprint scanner working properly. I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP 3.0.0.2, and excitedly flashed the shiny new OS (without making a backup, like an idiot)[/]
After booting up into CM13 the system asks me for my encryption key (sure, whatever) and then I get this big screen that says "Decryption Unsuccessful....The password that you entered is correct but unfortunately your data is corrupt" and goes on to say that a factory reset will fix the problem and any lost data can be re-downloaded from the cloud. I said "great!" and hit the "reboot now" button that reboots back into TWRP, runs a short script, and sends me back to where I started (presumably not on purpose).
Now, I tried doing a full wipe of the entire device via TWRP, which sent me into a new panic mode when I couldn't manage to get any files to transfer over when I tried to send them over MTP - I finally went about using the ADB Sideload feature in TWRP to once again install the same (and a different) ROM all of which garnered the same result.
Finally, the point of the story: Is there a way for me to fully remove encryption from the system from within TWRP? If not, am I totally hosed or does someone have another idea? Frankly, I'd be happy to just have a booting phone at this point.
Thanks in advance!!
So following up on my own thread, I found the setting in TWRP that specifically allows you to erase the data partition (something that I thought I had done when I did a standard wipe and/or when I did the advanced wipe and specifically told it to wipe everything) and rebooted and it finally booted happily into Android. I'm not sure if this is a bug in TWRP or a bug in CM's script that is causing issues but something isn't quite right.

Similar situation here. I run on my spice uno on stock Android with all security updates. Recently my device entered into boot loop when I restarted it.
Things I tried -
1. Wipe cache, restart
2. Factory reset, restart
I did these steps by entering into recovery mode with both sims and memory card attached.
Then I removed everything and again tried above steps.
At last I also tried, mount system, wipe cache, factory reset, restart (in sequence)
I don't want to root my device and loose ota updates.
Please suggest a way out.
Thanks in advance

Same problem for me any one suggest a solution for this.
Hi o am on the latest twrp for this phone. I don't have my data encrypted and when I boot into recovery from the phone using the reboot into recovery method it works fine. Bit if I power off the phone and reboot into recovery it says data is encrypted and asked for a password. I tried my lock screen password but it doesn't work. So I'm thinking that I should just wipe the entire phone and start fresh. I aslo noticed that since the last term update my Los updater doesn't work it won't run the updater script.
What would be the best way to do this? Should I just wipe the phone and then adb sidload the latest Los gapps and magisk? Or should I just wipe then push the files to my phone and install the from twrp? I have never done either of those operations but it doesn't look too complicated.n
Any suggestions?
Well,
Managed to brick my OP6 by trying to return back to factory.
Boots straight into fast boot, nothing else.
Any tips on how to restore the OS? Only guides I can find are on the OP6
Thanks in advance.
Yes, restore from the backup you took before you bricked it...
Or you could try and run recovery from bootloader (which I assume is what you mean by "fastboot"). Then try and adb sideload the 9.0.5. release.

What did you do to it before the factory reset? Doing a factory reset should not have an adverse affect on your phone.
I thought I had soft bricked mine yesterday. After rooting with Magisk I removed a bunch of system apps. Then when I rebooted the phone I got stuck in a loop to fastboot.
I was able to get out by selecting the option to wipe all data and then factory reset.
This time around I just froze all the apps with Titanium and it's doing okay!
