Encryption and TWRP - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so I have a 6p with 3.3.1 fbe 4core and I'm personally still seeing the device fail to decrypt and boot to OS. Even without a password.
When this happens and it happens very often I need to format data.
I eventually would like to have this as a backup phone though with this happening it doesn't seem like its going to happen.
P.S. the disable encryption/verity does not help any. For me at least .
So, I'm asking you all, hopefully for any suggestions or answers.
What can I do to get this device into working order?

Hey, again!
When flashing magisk and still using the proper fbe twrp 3.3.1.img, any idea why my phone won't boot?
P.S. download mode is still enabled.

same issue after battery died
I believe I'm having a similar issue now ...
The device won't boot to OS, goes directly to recovery. Download mode was off so i enabled it using the "fastboot oem ramdump enable" command. However, I'm still stuck?!!
The recovery won't accept my password and I have no way to access (my data) anything. This happened after the phone shutdown when the battery drained.
edit: I cannot even turn off the phone ... it just keeps going back to recovery
Update: I managed to decrypt the data - seems i was entering the wrong pass the whole time - so i'm taking a backup now
update 2: Finally resolved ... it seems that my volume down button (both volume buttons are flaky since the rocker fell a month ago) may have been stuck, causing phone to immediately enter the recovery mode. I managed to boot but fiddling around with the volume buttons. CASE CLOSED
Please help.

Can't boot into Clockwork Recovery

Hi guys,
So just received my Nexus 7, the device is rooted and i'm trying to flash clockworkmod to the device.
So far, i've tried both of the toolkits in the developement section, ROM Manager and also flashing the recovery through ADB with the images in the development section too...
With some of them, after selecting recovery from the bootloader, it just stays on the "Google" logo, on other, it just boots up.
The device has no issue's booting, it's just Clockwork that won't boot.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.

Have you rebooted into recovery after flashing and made it perminent? Otherwise the stock recovery will get flashed back (immediately)..
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-7-root-unlock-bootloader-clockworkmod-recovery-cwm-100890/
Usually I temp boot CWM, but today I flashed it on both my GNex & Nexus7. Can easily go back to stock recovery if required...
Thanks for the link mate, hadn't seen that one before and indeed, CWM is now working.
Much appreciated.

No problem. When you exit CWM it tries to fix it anyway. Not sure if it just moves the file or what, but the key is to boot into CWM straight after flashing it (I made the same mistake this morning)..
I'm having the exact same issue...so If I re flash the Recovery as Markey Said will I lose the contents of my Internal memory or not?
hope this helps

if your using cwm i found to boot into recovery you have to have the 7 plugged into your computer with the micro usb..i dont know why but it worked for me..are you using the side bottons to get into recovery..if so plugged the cable in first then try to enter recovery
Easiest way is grab quick boot from the play store and it will let u reboot to cwm.. As above said a pc is needed because of a bug.. U can also do it connected to a phone if u have otg cable

but I'm asking about the button combo approach because, it is very important ; in case you brick your device and you can't boot it and obviously you cant lauche rom manger

You can access CWM through the power, up, down method and choosing recovery mode.... the tablet MUST be plugged in though... at least for me it does. Running CWM6 Touch....

[Q] Might have a brick. Error is "Secure booting unsuccessful!" (VS980)

So I just flashed this ROM in TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533018
And when I rebooted all I get is the LG logo followed by a black screen with the following:
Secure booting unsuccessful!
Cause :
When I plug it into my computer it never gets recognized. It appears to be stuck in a bootloop.
Advice?

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to get to recovery but I found the way using the physical buttons.
But now I've restored my backup and the phone is stuck at the LG logo on boot. Oy.

[Q] Bricked my Nexus 4 while updating to KitKat!

Hi all,
I recently updated my ClockworkMod rooted phone to KitKat 4.? (whatever the latest auto-update release is). It seemed to go well until it asked me if I want to restore root (cannot be undone!!!) and I said YES. Now my phone gets stuck on the boot screen (animated colored circles).
I can still connect with adb and my sdcard looks good (whew) but I cannot use my phone. Can anyone recommend a fix?
Thanks in advance,
Barry

Full wipe and flash TWRP.
Or if you like, flash twrp and see if that alone will help, but most times the two is usually needed. However with the way things are, ymmv!

No issues. Use adb reboot bootloader to reboot into fastboot mode. Flash the factory image, except userdata.img, you won't lose any apps or SD card contents, no wipe necessary. If you don't know how, I'll post a link to a guide.
Or just use some toolkit like Wug's and do everything from pc through simple menus.

just do a full flash via fastboot...
and flash data ...n roms too

[Q] Galaxy S5 Stuck in Infinite Recovery Boot Cycle

I have had my S5 for two days now. I haven't done any modifications to it and have kept it completing stock. I was browsing the internet in Chrome when I got a notification saying there was a security breach and that the phone needed to restart in order to undue any changes made. So I pressed the restart button and it started to restart normally until I saw in tiny blue text "RECOVERY BOOTING....", I didn't think much of it until nothing started to happen after a minute. I let it go for another 5 minutes and then 15 minutes. I came back and still it was at the same screen. I decided to turn the device off and on to see if that would do anything, nothing happened. I took the battery out and waited a few minutes to put it back in, again nothing new. I was looking into other threads about this happening to other phones because the S5 is so new there is nothing on it doing this. But I found no useful information. So my question is, how can I fix this? I don't mind having to reset it, there's only a few apps installed. I'm tech savvy, so I'll now what you mean if you give me any tips. Thank you!
If doesn't matter if you lost the installed apps, then boot to recovery and choose wipe data reset factory and then wipe data cache.then restart your mobile it should solve your problem.

I should have mentioned this in the post but I have tried that, nothing happens. It's already trying to boot into recovery, I wonder if I can get it out of trying to do that.
Try to boot into download mode then restart normally, maybe it gets you out of the recovery booting loop.

I think you should download the stock rom from sammobile or samsung-updates.com sites and reinstall it again.

App to bypass the screen freeze issue on zenfone 5 custom roms.

Guys...can't anyone make an app to navigate the power menu with volume buttons so that we can do a soft reboot in case of a screen freeze in Zenfone 5.

This is not a thing that can be bypassed, it's very ramdom, and crashs all Android system, so there's no way a app can intercept this.
I'm talking about an app that can at least make the power menu accessible through volume rocker keys so that a soft reboot can easily ve performed in case of a screen freeze...

As I said, the whole Android system freezes, not the screen only (one example of this is if you are listening music or watching a video, the audio freezes too). So there's no way to access power menu, the only thing we can do is a forced shutdown.
Well the incoming calls still show and downloads still continues...even installation...so...maybe the whole system does not freeze I think...

I tried this, but the freeze frequency increased. But maybe work in OP phone.
That's a really risky process as I don't know if my AICP rom will support anwarmov's kernel.
I think actually the issue comes from some problem in partitions...my screen freeze started when during flashing some error occured...u know...the error shows during flashing any file...
The flash becomes successful though...
Also pc fails to recognize the device after the error started occuring...
This one is the error.
