I've tried both RR and Havoc with the latest TWRP avaliable, decrypt with password still doesn't work. I just want to have FDE on my device without losing the ability to update.

My x727 fails to encrypt itself. After the reboot it did not start the encryption but got stuck for several hours.
Has anyone managed to encrypt the phone? Thank you.
(On my phone, Magisk v8, TWRP, PHH's Superuser and xposed is installed.)
Now that more people have the phone and more ROM versions (including first custom ROMs) are available: has anyone managed to encrypt the phone?
(Device encryption is very important to me because my employer does not allow me to connect an unecrypted phone to the firm network. Therefore, the phone is currently almost useless to me.)
Thanks!
I suppose x727 data partition it's already factory encrypted because during unlocking tests some users said the device asks for a key.
I have now managed to encrypt the phone with the latest ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/5-9-020s-update-x720-t3506829
are you using airwatch ?
Hello, despite searching i couldn't find my answer. Is TWRP able to decrypt the h870 encrypted data partition (through pin, pattern, etc..)? Very important for me & i got a good deal on it that expire soon. Hope you can tell me, thanks!

Unpredictable. I would keep data decrypted if you like to play with custom roms and TWRP. If you do stock based only (Nougat, Oreo), then encryption will work fine with Magisk rooting. To backup data using TWRP though, OFFICIAL TWRP for H870 can decrypt data fine but UNOFFICIAL TWRP won't (needed to flash newest custom roms). Some people use both TWRP versions (official one at twrp.me to backup rom, and unofficial 3.2.3 to flash latest custom roms)
I see.. And what's the lastest lineage/resurection rom that's compatible with offical twrp, how far does it goes..?
PS: "then encryption will work fine with Magisk rooting" what?! we're talking about twrp decryption, what's with magisk..?

You're correct. Not related. Just poor choice of words.
So I'm running the 03/25/2019 Lineage OS microG build for my OP5, it is Android Pie and I have the latest codeworkxx TWRP 03/11/2019 and PIE firmware.
When flashing the rom (clean install) I decided to go unencrypted this time so I used the following force encryption disable zip found bellow after I clean flashed/installed the rom...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
...followed by flashing magisk right after. Everything worked, LOS PIE is installed and unencrypted/rooted perfectly.
Problem I am having is that now when I try and install the weekly builds through the Android OS updater, it does it's thing, reboots to recovery, installs the update, magisks then re-installs through the survival addon.d script but then the phone just gets stuck into a bootloop. While reading the install messages in TWRP it does mention that magisk is removing dm-verity for what it's worth.
Does this have something to do with magisk or the LOS ROM having an "encrypted kernel" by default and how I am installing an encrypted kernel/update over an unencrypted phone? Or is this some issue with magisk?
Does this mean if I want to flash weekly updates while keeping unencrypted status I will have to dirty flash them by downloading the zip, manually placing it in my storage, booting to recovery, flashing, then flashing the encryption disable zip again and finally Magisk instead of of just pressing a button in the Android OS updater?
Luckily I restored successfully from a backup but I'm wondering is I screwed myself over here setting up my rom without encryption. Never had this issue updating with the weekly builds when my phone was encrypted.
What do you guys think?
Alright well I managed to update my ROM without bootlooping, just like I thought instead of being able to use the built in OS update manager that does everything for you I have to manually download/transfer file to my phone, flash rom update, flash force encryption disable zip and then magisk again.
While this is an alright workaround for now, is there anyway to regain the stock updating functionality built into the rom while remaining unencrypted and having it NOT bootloop my phone each time? What if I want to use addonSU instead of Magisk, I don't think the disable encryption zip works unless you flash Magisk right after unless I have to update the rom, flash the disable zip, flash magisk, remove magisk and then use addonSU.
So, is Full Device Encryption finally disabled for 6t in Android 10? I heard there is a OOS 10.3.0 I believe that is decrypted.
Android 10 isn't supposed to use FDE but File Based Encryption. It's activated by default.
Hi all,
I'm jumping from LOS 14.1 to 16.1, I have the last unofficial TWRP 3.2.3 installed from the nearby thread, used to work well before encryption, now I can't decrypt the data partition, thus no backups, zip flash, OTA...
Any ideas? Thanks.
[Update]: it seems LineageOS 16 installs its own bootloader on some models that allows the encryption while being compatible with OTA. However, on Z1 it keeps TWRP and thus the incompatibility with the encryption. Any way to install with its bootloader on Z1?
