Bite the bullet, reboot to recovery and backup your data through ADB then factory reset. Going to a major release you really should start clean anyway.

Do a factory reset. You can do that in recovery if nothing else.

same problem here and cant find solution ...
I had the same issue. when you press to reset button when the phone boots it should reboot and for a short time go to recovery and try to write some commands, right? if it does like mine did then what i did to fix it was boot up the phone and wait for the page saying encryption unsuccesful to popup and on the computer have the adb reboot recovery ready to go so when you press the reset button and the recovery menu pops up press enter on the computer before it goes away and it should send you to the regular recovery menu. from there you should go back to wipe and press the format data button where you have to type yes to erase everything. let me know how it went.
you will have to reflash the supersu but it should now be working like it should
Flash the latest su and your fine.

Make sure your on charging mode and you have adb debug enabled
send the adb reboot recovery command as soon as the twrp connects to the computer. as soon as you hear it connect to the computer it should work if your drivers are working.

What screen are you stuck in? Do you have adb up and running?
Same as before Encryption unsuccessful. I was able to do the trick, got into two and wiped data. Then rebooted to system and it went right back to that screen. I've tried 100 times or so to get back into twrp with no luck. I hear the computer recognize the device when it goes into twrp for 2 seconds after you click reset. Not sure if that means add is up and running or not.

Fastboot does see my device, tried lgup, lg bridge, and lg update none see my device, tried relocking bootloader after oem lock bootloader rebooted said my device was corrupted and shut itself off went back into Fastboot unlocked bootloader again and back to the same lg screen help?
This did not work for me, my phone reboots back into TWRP whenever I install a system image it still gives me the encryption message.

Had the same problem and could not for the life of me do the adb thing. Someone here stated something that I thought I'd try: Press volume down while plugging in the phone to get into fastboot. In a command window issue "fastboot oem lock" (this will relock the boot) > Let the phone reset and you'll see the "Phone corrupt message" > Plug the phone in again to do a fastboot and issue "fastboot oem unlock" > Take the battery out let the phone boot and BAM-E WHAM success!
btw. I followed the steps here to do the whole root thing with Android . how (google "how to root the v20")
I think the "data" wipe did this and according to this site it's not a necessary step so skip it.
This option works!

I go my T-mobile LG V20 H918 on 11/23/16 and sure enough, I followed the same thread as listed above where it added the step of "data wipe" crap. I was caught in a bootloop, where phone kept bootlooping back to the "reset to factory." The other method of entering the adb command at the right time was more frustrating than anything. (I never got it to work). I spent all day yesterday trying to get this phone working. I re-read (x30) the above thread and on the first attempt it worked. I did not get the "Phone Corrupt Message," but I went ahead and entered the "fastboot oem unlock" and the F#$king phone finally reboot to the setup initial screen. It wiped everything, but having a phone working rather than a nice $800 paperweight, I wanted to kiss SkyHusky for sharing this simple method. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
By the way, since I am a glutton for punishment, I followed the steps to root again. After flashing the SuperUser, I rebooted to System. I was at the initial setup screen. My phone is rooted, has TWRP, and SuperUser! As soon as I got the phone working, I went back to TWRP and made a BACKUP!!!!
It is amazing that every time I f-up a phone, I can always come to XDA and get a solution. THANKS GUYS!

No problem!! Also I forgot to add I only rooted afterward and didn't try to install a ROM or anything. I would think you risk danger with some ROMs without that decryption thing turned off. So maybe in the short future there will be better fixes.

Stuck looping through loading screens after installing TWRP (sm-p580)

I tried to go about rooting and what not with my Galaxy Tab A 10.1 w/ S-pen (sm-p580). I was following the following guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-official-twrp-galaxy-tab-10-1-t3473023
Everything seemed to be going well. At the end of it all I went to reboot the system and now I appear to be stuck in a loop. TWRP tries to load and then I think it reads that if fails to mount data. The system reboots again and then it I get a message on a black background saying "Verification Failed" and there is a button to factory reset the tablet. When I click that button, start the cycle again starting with the failed TWRP.
At this point I will take any advice that will just get the tablet working again (with or without root/TWRP). I do not have any data that needs to be saved on the tablet. If it seems like I have left any details, please ask away as I will fill in whatever info I can. Thanks for all the help. Hopefully I didn't break my tablet.

Boot to TWRP, use the FORMAT DATA BUTTON to Format data then immediately flash SuperSU.
Reboot.
Your device should boot after a short while, be patient.

Thank you for your help. I was trying to boot into TWRP and was having trouble getting into that. I tried one more time after your post and fortunately was able to get into it. Everything is working great now!

Random error corrupted OS / Phone - "Your data may be corrupted" - Need help retrieving data

Hi Everyone -
Last night when I went to sleep I left my PH-1 plugged in and charging, and when I woke up this morning the phone had frozen with a black screen and status light still blinking. I restarted the phone and end up at a screen with "Cannot Load Android System. Your data may be corrupt". The boot cycle goes "Powered by Android" --> circles to square dot rotation --> restarts to "Powered by Android" --> to screen mentioned before with corruption. I have options to "Try Again" or "Factory Reset" and have selected "Try Again" about 20 times now with no luck.
Some pertinent facts:
Running latest official OS from Essential
Bootloader unlocked
Phone is encrypted
When I flashed the latest official OS about a year ago I used TWRP, but forgot to re-install TWRP after the flash
I am able to get to the Bootloader --> "Recovery" --> "No Action Screen" and then get to the actual recovery from there; I am now kicking myself for not reinstalling TWRP. My options on the recovery screen are "apply update from ADB option", "mount /system", or "Factory Data Reset" (as well as review logs and some other tests).
Most of the data on the phone is backed up, however there are still some items not backed up that I'd like to attempt to retrieve.
My Question - What are my options to try and salvage the data off the phone provided it is encrypted? I've seen some references to using ADB update to re-flash the original OS (I assume this is a dirty flash) but not wipe the data and my data would still be there after the install. I've seen references for that approach but not confident enough to know if it would apply for my case. In example, would this work even with the encryption? Alternatively, I expect I could reinstall TWRP via ADB update and try to work something out from there.
Thank you in advance for reading this! I appreciate any and all insight or recommendations of an approach to take. As you can see, I'm clearly a novice who has followed some tutorials, but definitely not advanced enough to have strong knowledge of all of Android's innards. Thanks again.

Samsung A52s 5G stuck in reboot-freeze loop

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G that goes into the following loop for two days:
boots up, waits for me to unlock the phone through the draw pattern, I unlock the phone, "Phone Starting" pops up, phone starts, I am able to navigate the phone and phone apps for something like 20 seconds and then it freezes.
Model Number: SM-A528B/DS
The firmware shown in recovery mode is the following: A528BXXS1CVI6
Why I am trying all this
This is my wife's phone. I thought she was backing up photos through google photos and she told me that she was doing it. Unfortunately, she was only uploading them on the local app and the backup was not working since her storage was full for several months. So, if there is a way to access her stuff from any Operating System please let me know. The problem, I think, is that I can't without unlocking the phone (of course).
Note
If I don't unlock the phone, the phone does not freeze but of course, I cannot do anything. Therefore, I suspect it is some thread that starts by default as soon as the phone is unlocked.
What I tried
I tried the following things:
Remove the SD/SIM card tray (just because it was easy)
I tried to boot my phone in Safe mode. I correctly entered in safe mode, the third-party apps were disabled but then the phone froze again.
I connected the phone to a laptop (running Ubuntu 22.04) and entered in recovery mode. Once in recovery mode, I tried basically all the options without any luck so far:
Reboot system now
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB:
I tried to download a firmware for my phone and then send it through ADB with the following command
`$ ./adb sideload ~/Downloads/A525FXXS4CVK4_A525FOXM4CVJB_HUI.zip`
and I got stuck at
`serving: '/PATH_TO/Downloads/A525FXXS4CVK4_A525FOXM4CVJB_HUI.zip' (~0%)" `
I don't know why
I did not try "Apply update from SD Card" yet
I did not try "Wipe data/factory reset" yet
I tried "Mount /system" but it got me the following error:"Error updating for slotselect"
I tried "Repair apps"
I tried "Run Graphics test"
I tried "Run Locale test"
I tried and then did "./adb reboot recovery" to test that I was able to reboot through adb and it did reboot the phone indeed.
Let me know if you have any ideas on what to try next.
Having a similar issue right here, please notify me what you did afterwards and if you managed to solve it
I am in the same situation and same try outs. Only one slight different. Phone does not start at all. Only "SAMSUNG" and "powered by android" logos. Then starts to bootloop again.
Did you find a solution?
@minidiable did you try to flash with Odin? You should have a try using CSC that avoid erasing data.
In any case, I'm coming back here to give my result after several try-outs and finally going to a Samsung Center.
My phone, entering in recovery mode, had from the begining a message at the bottom saying " E:[libfs_mgr]Error updating for slotselect ".
At Samsung Service Center they told me that this error may probably warn about motherboard failure. And after tearing down the phone and checked it, they changed the moterhboard. Sadly, All data lost. That's all.
