Hey Guys,
now that i got myself an oneplus 7t, i'd like to play around with my old G6 (H870).
First problem, TWRP is asking for a password to decrypt system, though i never set one. Skipping this isn't helping, because i can't flash anything from recovery. Hope someone could help.
Thanks!!

Hi everyone. As an obsessed flasher from my old HTC one 7 i couldnt wait much longer to unlock and root my beloved Nexus 6P.
I have a few questions as i keep seeing the words encrypted and decrypted flying around alot. I understand what encryption is, and what it is there for. What i don't understand is how to know when my phone is encrypted or not. For example, i have unlocked, flashed mod boot img. and then had to factory reset my phone to flash TWRP 2.7.8.1 ( which said decryption not needed) i then installed SuperSU for root. I have read that factory reset can remove decryption... but i have no idea how to check.
Do i need to re-encrypt my device, if so, how do i do this? Will encryption stop root or make TWRP not work properly in regards to flashing and backups.? Can i install custom kernels with a decrypted device or again shall i re-encrypt it?
I also see a screen when entering recovery and rebooting phone "Your device software cannot be checked for corruption, please lock bootloader". Is this normal or have i done something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
so ive managed to find out that the message when in recovery or rebooting is normal for marshmallow. Can anyone help me in terms of the encyrption/decryption issue please?
Hi everyone, sorry for a noob problem but I seemed to have soft bricked my phone and was hoping that somebody here would be able to help me out. I have an A2017U in the US.
A short history:
I had been using my phone on B20 rooted/locked with tenfar's tool for about 3 months now, and decided I would try and update it finally before the new year.
To update it, after reading it seemed I would need to unlock the bootloader to keep root on B29 so I decided first step would be to unlock the bootloader and then update to B29. I did the following steps today
1) Unlock bootloader using DrakenFX's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165 The unlocked proved successful and I was able to boot back into B20 after all the data was wiped, and I followed the instruction to backup the Boot in TWRP. All good.
2) I then decided to follow another of DrakenFX's guides (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873482&postcount=2) to update from B20 to B29. I followed the instructions exactly again, but then the phone just hangs on the ZTE logo on boot infinitely. I wondered if I made a mistake when re-initializing TWRP after unlocking the bootloader. I did a search and found in "Mount" to uncheck "Mount system partition read-only" and unchecked it. The System partition however is unmounted, I'm not sure if that's normal now or not. Even when I check it, after rebooting it goes away. I've checked the MD5 of the ZTE_A2017U.B29_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX.zip file and it's good. I then flashed through fastboot to the new 3.0.3-0 TWRP which I'm now using, and still nothing. It appears I don't have an OS installed. I'm going to guess here the issue is with a setting in TWRP but I've tried everything I could find. Unfortunately I don't seem to have a copy of my stock recovery right now to flash either. I've tried several times to flash ZTE_A2017U.B29_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX.zip and reboot but to no avail. I even tried this tip from rczrazor to delete DATA first and others one by one (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69428659&postcount=136) but no such luck for me. Still stuck on the ZTE logo.
tl;dr - I have access to fastboot and TWRP, but apparently no ROM installed even though have flashed now multiple times.
If anybody could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I'm even willing to pay a few bucks in Paypal to help get me going again.
Thank you all in advance.

I have bricked my AXON 7 many times during the last week. The Zip files from DrakenFX are very good. But in case those were still failling...
First, check for corrupted downloads, just check the zip file integrity using 7zip, winRAR or any other tool.
Use TWRP 3.0.3
Try a different ROM such as ZADMix or even CM13.
If everything fails:
Flash TWRP 3.0.2 signed.
Flash the original Stock B29 Boot partition and reboot to recovery
Flash again the verified DrakenFX files.
Hi, I'm in a sticky situation
I downloaded a custom recovery (revolution custom recovery) and wanted to install lineage 14.1 on my phone. I installed everything properly and still my phone doesn't get past the startup animation. After that I thought it was because of the recovery so I installed I TWRP (which should be compatible) through the existing recovery. And now. I'm stuck between loading screens and don't know what to do. I managed to get to the erecovery of EMUI and charged up my phone. Since I don't want to break anything else I'm asking for help.
Change data partition to ext4.
How yo recover
Flash sotck EMUI rom from consumer.huawei.com using 3 buttons method. You'll be able yo use your phone, but I think Google services doesn't work (in my case) so try again yo flash lineageOS. Good luck

Hello dude, ok you got L31 model phone, but, except for Revolution recovery,
you did not give any more info about the firmware you had before flash custom recovery.
Neither info you wrote about lineageOS and other TWRP you tried to flash.
No one can help you without these basically info, so post here...
Best Regards
Hello. When I try doing a Backup in TWRP, I get the error shown in the attachment.
Can anyone help me with this?
Looks like TWRP never decrypted the data partition on your phone.
You need to include a lot more information if you expect people to be able to help you.
What version of TWRP are you using?
What version of OOS or are you on a custom ROM?
Did the backups ever work before?
Did TWRP ask you for your Password/Pin/Pattern when it booted?
Hello and thanks for responding.
TWRP: Bluespark 3.2.3
OOS: 9.0.13 (I just rooted, no custom ROM installed)
This is my first time trying to backup.
TWRP didn't ask me for a pin/password when I first ran it*
* I think
Thanks for the additional information, it definitely helps to see what could be wrong. I hope I didn't come off with the wrong tone in my message.
It looks like you might be using an old version of TWRP that does not support the decryption of internal storage.
Try the one from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482
Use the link that says "TWRP 3.3.1-6 Unofficial Installer by mauronofrio"
If you have an otg cable you can put the file on a flash drive and flash that way. Otherwise you will have to follow the install guide section in the first post I linked.
Let me know if that works for you.
Oh dear.
I followed the install guide here (without issue): https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482
And after, when I try to boot the phone normally, it boots to recovery and asks for the pin. After I enter the pin I'm just in recovery. I can't seem to get back to a normal boot.
Ok, I flashed Magick and now I think I'm good.
Thanks for your help! I can now do backups.

Hey guys,
So I am at a point where my zte axon 7 won't boot past the Linux tux penguin. It'll show it, then the screen will go blank and the led will flash red 3 times and seems like it turns itself off (blank screen).
I can't get into the fastboot menu anymore. I can get into TWRP 3.2.1-0 though.
Anyone got any ideas to bring it back to life?
Thank you. If I work it out I'll comment back. Spent about 5 hours trying to get it going thus far.
Worked it out
Okay after many hours of fun....
Got it going
Had to flash the Full EDL and I changed the bootloader to one of the custom ones from here. When I put the fastboot image from the axon7toolkit, it was actually causing the loops. So I don't have that installed but I still have an unlocked bootloader. Anyway, got the full edl installed, then went to twrp, used that party vendor image app thing, rebooted into TWRP, used the universal bootstack, 2017g modem, lineage 17. 1 Android 10, gapps nano for Android 10. I rebooted, lineage loaded I was so excited, then bam, password apparently exists. So I flashed Magisk on and did the reset data partition in twrp and rebooted. It worked happy days. I now have an axon 7 2017g on lineage 17.1 (android 10) happy days. All the info is across the forum posts, just gotta read a lot of garbage comments to find it. Thanks past and future axon 7 owners.

Hi,
I currently restored my AXON A2017G to factory setting but when it loads it won't pass the WiFi connection page.
When it loads after the welcome page, it show the SIM part..after clicking next it shows the WiFi details page after entering my details and I click next it would show "just a sec" and return me back to the WiFi details page.
Kindly help with how I can resolve this.
Thanks
