TWRP can't decrypt data - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I just flashed the latest stock update.
The problem is that I can't decryt my data in TWRP, and hence cant flash anything from internal storage.
Is there any TWRP build that supports encryption/decryption ?

A Taiwanese regularly compiles TWRP up to date with the security updates on Zentalk (TW). You can check this MEGA folder every month he uploads to. The latest one works with .339

In case you cant fix it, next time make sure that you flash the files in this order: rom, magisk, decrypt.zip

Sometimes people actually want their data encrypted, so that's more like a dirty fix.

What is the difference when applying in rom, magisk, decrypt compared to rom, decrypt, magisk?
I use the latter method always because that is recommended by this guide:

If i were to flash over my stock OS, what do I need to delete (without losing pictures etc). I keep forgetting..
I have read that TWRP has some errors when flashing, not sure what this was.

Hi
You can try side-load, but you need backup for sure.
my device is root and bootloader is open and I have already Nougat beta ver. before there so my upgrade was quick and all files and settings remains.

So you just flashed the zip in TWRP and SuperSU afterwards? Or did it take additional steps?

No additional steps. Flash the zip, supersu and wipe cache and everything is working fine.
I'll give it a shot eventhough i'm still on 3.5.4 and not the leaked beta.
I'm guessing as this will have the original boot.img (kernel), as no custom Nougat kernels are yet built (have to wait on the source code) that it will once flashed Encrypt the phone again? Thus the need for the pin/password for twrp?
No point in flashing Open Beta; th official stable OTA is coming tonight too.

So seems there are soon to be two channels beta and stable coming. Great stuff!
Are the sources for ROM and kernel up yet?
Can we side load this over the top of the leaked nougat ROM ?

Restore to stock via TWRP???

I'm on AEX 4.6 and I'd like to know if there's a way to restore stock via TWRP? if so, plz give me the link to download the rom. Unfortunatly, my miflash is crashing and making EDL method not usable. (Sorry for the english)

well, miflash is not the only one, you could also try EDL Tool from right here (ROMs, kernels, development thread).
But yeah, you can. I wonder why you are still in AEX 4.6, but I guess you still haven't got a vendor partition. If that's the case just download a flashable zip of the stock ROM that you want (would've been real handy if you told us what model you have) and flash it away

I'm just saying that you are on an ancient ROM. What's that AEX version, Nougat?
Right now I'm on AEX 6.0 Pie. But yeah, i was just curious.
You will probably need to format your internal storage, but maybe you won't need it. Just do this: After installing the ROM (whatever you decide, EDL Tool or TWRP) install Magisk too, BEFORE BOOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME (If EDL Tool, simply flash the ROM, then tell it not to reboot, flash TWRP, enter TWRP, and flash Magisk; if directly from TWRP just flash magisk right away). This will prevent your internal storage from getting encrypted.
Remember to WIPE DATA AND CACHE BEFORE FLASHING
Anyhow if your phone asks you for a password that doesn't really exist when you try to boot, you'll have to format the internal storage

You'll need to be on your PC for this. Make sure you backup anything you want to keep from Internal Storage:
OOS:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190
1) Wipe and Format everything in TWRP.
2) Move OOS 5.1.3 (Full Zip) to Internal Storage
3) Install 5.1.3 and nothing else (You will lose TWRP, but don't worry abut that now)
4) OTA up to 5.1.7
5) If you don't get offered OTA to 9.0.1 use full zip from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
6) Once on OOS 9.0.1 you can use Fastboot to flash latest Codeworkx TWRP: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cheeseburgerdumplings/files/16.0/cheeseburger/recovery/
If you want to install a custom ROM after that:
7) Wipe and Format
8) Install Pie ROM/Gapps etc

Thx for Help dude, but i have a problem.
I backed up my stuff and joined TWRP, after joining TWRP I went to WIPE> Format Data.
After that I passed the file from ROM 5.1.3 to the internal memory of the device and went to install and started the procedure, but doing so returned an error and I would like you to help me if it were possible.
The following message was displayed:
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_036_5.1.3.zip'
Can you help me?

ok, i will re-download the file and try the installation again.
I downloaded it again and tried the installation but again I got the same error when trying to install.
I am doing the download again but this time I will try to download without using download managers, in the previous attempts I used the Internet Download Manager (IDM) to do the downloads, do you recommend some download manager or browser?
I will also download via mobile data on the 4G network.

You can use Opera mobile, Firefox etc. But with download managers there are more issues(you'll find a lot on xda).

Okay, thanks, I'll try to download again and I'll come back with the result soon
I downloaded the file from ROM 5.1.3 on the phone and again it returned the same error, I will try one more time.
Please give me your opinion, is there any version of TWRP that is recommended for installation? is it not the version I'm using that might not be reading the file?
Anything else, do I need to install 5.1.3 exactly or can I get a version prior to it?
There's something wrong in the middle of it, but let's keep trying.

Are you on xXx No Limits 4.3 (Nougat - 4.5.14) or xXx No Limits 4.3 Magisk Rom?
If you are talking about the Magisk Rom then we need to know what OOS version you are on to be able to give you the right advise.

Maybe you can try with this recovery: twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img
And see if it works.
Otherwise I would recommend to download OxygenOS 5.1.4 and try to flash that.

4.3 xXx magisk means you're running a stock oxygenOS where xXx 4.3 mod is running. Do you remember which oxygenOS version it was? 5.1.4 5.1.7 or whatever?

It could make things easier. If your phone still boots into OOS, go into Setting and scroll to the very bottom and select About Phone. Look at what Oxygen OS you are running. What you need to do is get that version all the way up to 5.1.7. Once you are there, you can just flash 9.0.2.

I have not tried to install 5.1.4 yet, I was trying to 5.1.3 as it was suggested, I will download version 5.1.4 that is in this repository (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190), and I will try to make the installation clean, ie format all the data, move the ZIP into the internal memory and try to see if it works.
I will try to clarify about the patch in case I try to reinstall ROM No Limits I need to install the full version which is 12.0 and patch 4.3 is just an update patch for the latest version and I can also go back to version 12.0.
Version 5.1.4 I have not yet tested if I can install it without errors, I will do it soon and I will come back with the result.
I think 5.1.4 should do the trick. I would highly recommend you wipe everything including systems, internal and data. This will pretty much give you a blank phone. Connect the phone to your computer and copy over 5.1.4 to the internal storage through TWRP, it should be the only file you see in your sdcard. Flash it and you should be good.

Okay, I'll do the test and I'll come back soon with the result, I'll change the version of TWRP too, this may be the problem.
Bringing the result of a few more tests, I first changed the recovery version, I went to the twrp-3.2.3-0-20181031-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img as suggested and after that I formatted all the data and started to appear a new one Error that was Failed to mount '/ vendor' (Invalid argument), I tried to install the 5.1.3 ROM and also to 5.1.4, which it was indicating was installing but at the end of the installation again I returned the error Failed to mount '/ vendor '(Invalid argument).
After that I reinstalled ROM No Limits 12.0 v. 5.1.3.
Does anyone know how to solve this new error?

it seems youre trying to flash a new twrp image that is higher than the allowed 3.2.3-4 in the root process,go to fastboot mode reflash twrp image 3.2.3-4 or an older one.If that's not the issue please provide more information

Where does it exactly say that I cannot flash anything higher than 3.2.3-4. All it says is to download the latest twrp from https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239
Do you have a link to 3.2.3-4? It seems like 3.2.3-5 is the lowest twrp I could find in Phoenix591's android filehost https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=235271
edit: while waiting for responses, I went ahead and installed unofficial LOS15 then I was able to boot without any problem. It seem like this will only happen with stock/stock based roms.

You should flash latest after installing this one by installing recovery img in TWRP i am telling you cause i have tried 3.2.3-5+ with the dirty santa process for my phone and thats the message i was getting unless downgrading to 3.2.3-4
Also decryption is unsuccessful comes as a result of not formatting data on twrp after the first install of twrp but you said that you did format data so i thought you were trying to flash newer twrp via the root process of the H918

Yes me too, and it almost make me crazy back in the days ?
the solution (at least for now) is downgrade TWRP it into v3.2.3-4. flash it via adb fastboot command, format data, then reboot. But sorry i dont have TWRP for H918, becoz im using F800L.. and since your TWRP has been nuked, youll have to reflash TWRP again yes? ?
Or, if youbdont want to downgrade TWRP, you can use AOSP based rom such as LOS15.1.. i already tried that rom and it dont have problem with encrypt/decrypt thing like stock based rom.

Yes me too, and it almost make me crazy back in the days ?
the solution (at least for now) is downgrade TWRP it into v3.2.3-4. flash it via adb fastboot command, format data, then reboot. But sorry i dont have TWRP for H918, becoz im using F800L..

Thank you so much, no wonder i wasn't able to find v3.2.3-4 because it's labeled as the release date. What does the sim unlock do? I mean, I can receive messages and stuff but just not get any once in awhile. Will this actually solve that?

Yes i knew that. My TWRP 3.2.3-4 IMG file is labeled with same date like that.
About sim unlock, Actually I dont know for sure because in f800l we dont seeing any sim problem at all.. but in my opinion just download it, in case you seeing problem with locked sim after flashing, it will be very useful..
anyway, i found a thread that discussing about h918 sim unlock thing

Thanks, I will try going back to stock roms and will report back to you.
And I forgot to mention that I already got twrp fixed after it got nuked. Sadly, I don't think fastboot flashing works on h918 so I had to do lafsploit method to flash twrp again.

Ok then and happy flashing m8 ?

Where does it exactly say that I cannot flash anything higher than 3.2.3-4. All it says is to download the latest twrp from https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239
Do you have a link to 3.2.3-4? It seems like 3.2.3-5 is the lowest twrp I could find in Phoenix591's android filehost https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=235271
edit: while waiting for responses, I went ahead and installed unofficial LOS15 then I was able to boot without any problem. It seem like this will only happen with stock/stock based roms.

Where? Right in the portion where it says Known Issues of the first link.
Downgrading TWRP to 3.2.3-4 will fix it. I had the same issue.
Thanks for the notes. Unfortunately this did not work for me. I ended up in this position after updating Magisk to 20.2, or trying to. My H918 went to being stuck in the fastboot mode. I was able to get to TWRP, and reinstalled H91820h.zip, but then faced with "Decryption unsuccessful" I downgraded TWRP to twrp-3.2.3-0, and deleted everything except the external microsd card, reinstalled H91820h.zip, but still stuck at the "Decryption unsuccessful". Are there other things I should try?
Thanks,
Rob

From TWRP thread:
Changed one last thing to try to fix stock Oreo decryption.
There were an upstream TWRP change that should fix the issue where formatting was still leaving /data encrypted as well (this was actually in the last build, but I didn't notice it then)

If you still have your non-Encryption-supporting TWRP as download mode, wipe data from there. For some reason which was documented in the TWRP thread, most versions of V20 TWRP doesn't remove the encryption flag even on a full wipe. I've gone through the pain several times, but here's roughly what I went through about a month ago. It's possible that using the latest TWRP may allow you to skip straight to step 8. As of this latest wipe, I'm finally at a point again where my phone works properly and TWRP can still see my data.
Basic process to hopefully have a working ongoing phone and TWRP:
1. Reboot to download-mode TWRP
2. Wipe dalvik/cache/data from the older download-mode TWRP
3. Factory reset with YES, still in older download-mode TWRP
4. Reboot to system; it should give you the new-system-setup past the Decryption unsuccessful screen on your wiped device
5. Setup without a Google account or fingerprint
6. Reboot back to recovery, not download TWRP; use download mode to get there if you need to
7. Flash the latest TWRP version from the thread (no older than October 25, 2019)
8. Reboot back to recovery
9. Wipe dalvik/cache/data
10. Reboot back to system
11. Setup as you like
12. Reboot back to recovery and make sure you can see your storage
If it gets a decryption error on latest TWRP at step 12 and you can't see data while in Recovery, try skipping adding a fingerprint during setup (run through steps 8-12, no fingerprint on 11) and see if that fixes it.

My solution turned out to be formatting /data. Wiping it was apparently not really wiping it clean. Formatting it got me back to a working phone, though I had to re-install everything.
Thanks everyone for the help!

What is your ROM and which TWRP do you use?
Use the official TWRP.me twrp-3.6.0_9-0-davinci.img and it will work with up to MIUI 12.5, A11, supporting Data encryption
For A12, there is no TWRP yet supporting its Data encryption. You could use OTG stick - e.g., put the zip file you want to flash to OTG

Try changing unlock from pin to pattern, or disable screen unlock
For me, on EEA it worked fine

Hi, need some more info about the OTG to flash, I was on LOS 18.1, upgraded to LOS 19.0, only realized now no TWRP to decrypt A12, you mean we still can flash the system update or zip (magisk) via TWRP with OTG even though it does not decrypt internal data? flash system update or magisk zip via TWRP will goes through? I thought encryption would be whole phone?

It will read from OTG and flash to System or Boot, hence Data and Internal storage are not needed
Nevertheless, I would suggest for Magisk to Patch the boot.img and to flash from Fastboot
