Hey guys,
got a big problem. Got an encrypted and rooted One running Android 6.0.1 (Sultan CM13).
When I want to reboot into recovery I have to enter my pattern to decrypt the phone, but although I enter the right pattern, TWRP says it cant decrypt and mount my phone.
So my problem now is, I can't just do a factory reset, cause TWRP is bugged and via fastboot it always says "no permissions".
Help very appreciated!

Try running fastboot with root privileges if your on linux, which it sounds like.
Hi, I have a problem with TWRP.
I encontered on a bug in TWRP, which ask for a password, despite there is no any screen lock chosen. I can't mount partitions in recovery because password doesn't match. "default_password" doesn't work.
Now I erased all partition except "boot" under fastboot, installed new TWRP to recovery, but it still ask for a password.
I tried "fastboot format recovery", but I couldn't:
Code:
Formatting is not supported for file system with type ''.
I use OnePlus One, last TWRP and last LineageOS.
Can you help me? Thanks
Maybe it will help someone.
I flashed recovery with TWRP 3.2.3-K1 and it works fine. TWRPs 3.2.3.0 and earlier didn't handle Android Pie's encryption.
Hello, been running twrp with encryption on Lineage OS 16 without problems for 6 months. But yesterday I flashed new android Q factory image and was unable to decrypt my data in twrp, even when I put the right password in it says ''password failed, please try again''. I tried flashing various factory images, custom roms even Lineage 16 but problem persists. I had this same problem back then when I first bought this phone but managed to solve it, I can't remember how I did it. TWRP is up to date. Any ideas? thanks.
It's TWRP issue. Sadly TWRP 3.3.1 is not available in zip format. Only in .img format. In 3.3.1 this problem is resolved.
As workaround you can remove any PIN, fingerprint and set security to none in setting and you won't have to enter anything in TWRP. Do whatever you want in TWRP and then set up PIN and fingerprint again.

Yeah I know this, but why did it started to do this after flashing Q factory image? TWRP worked without any problem on various custom roms. Actually now I remembered that while flashing Q factory image there was a problem mounting vendor and system partition, so I went back and flashed Lineage 16 and there this TWRP password thing started if I remember correctly.
I came here looking for the answer to this very issue.
I shot off an email to TWRP if they were going to update the latest zip to 3.3.1 because fastbooting to the img works fine.
I might try the trick of removing pin and security and try again.
I have the same problem but with 9.0, if I have a pin it's ok it decrypts just fine but when I have the fingerprint set up I get this problem, it kinda blows, I'm not using twrp everyday but it still blows that you have to disable security Everytime you want to use it, also, last night I used twrp with the security on it could not decrypt so and when i tried to reboot into system, I got the prompt to install the twrp app, I screwed up and used the slider instead of the button to cancel the installation and it messed up the system, so watch out for that crap.
I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help
does that work?:
Boot into twrp, then
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt myPassword
(myPassword is your user password)

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.
the correct and recommend way to install TWRP is
Flash TWRP
Erase userdata partition <~ it's important to do this as soon as possible since booting your device would just encrypt everything again
Format userdata partition
by doing this you would be able to access data partition files and folder would not be random letters.

Sorry for the late reply. Earlier i just gave up on installing the custom ROM and continued with my stock from. Today a tried again, installed TWRP and turns out it is not showing random letters now. its all regular storage. i didn't even do anything to decrypt it lol it just fixed itself. Now I will install the room myself. Thank you for your help though
Ah sh** here we go again. So i installed the custom rom successfully and everything worked fine, the TWRP too. but when I tried to flash a magisk patched image (the image that I used to root my phone in MIUI) then it got stuck in the boot screen. I had to flash the stock fastboot rom again.. And as expected from my piece of **** that xiaomi calls a phone, TWRP will show encrypted folders, and does not ask for a password. Same problem. Rooted my phone again, using the magisk root image, and it worked like usual, the phone rooted. Now i am stuck again in this bs. I guess I will wait for about 4-5 days and continue using the phone like normal. Maybe it will work again this time. I will try your method here first

Okay i tried wiping the data, cache and dalvik but it shows a huge essay of "error opening xxx/xxxx" in red text. Data wipe failed.
See you after like 4-5 days... hopefully
Update. I finally found a solution. It took literal hours of experimenting to find this.
-Flashed the fastboot ROM of the phone
-Rooted the phone by flashing magisk patched image
-Flashed Inception kernel via FK kernel manager
-Rebooting after flashing the kernel, It will get stuck in a black screen with no text whatsoever (probably a bootloop)
-Installed TWRP (This time TWRP does not show encrypted letters), Wiped all data, Transferred the custom ROM zip to the phone (while in TWRP) and flashing the rom
-The rom is flashed successfully. On the first reboot you get greeted with another bootloop. Fortunately the phone booted into TWRP. This time the folders are encrypted again.
-Successfully wiped the data (advanced>wipe data). No errors in data wiping this time.
-A fully working Corvus OS setup appears on rebooting.
I think the whole TWRP problem was fixed by the custom kernel. Anyways I am finally done with this now. You probably enjoyed seeing all this xD

I like that you keep trying and finding a solution, even though you had to invest hours to make it work!
Let's hope it will work if you update the OS though – I'd actually suggest a backup of all of your data before you do an update in the future, just to be safe!

tell me how to turn off a smartphone with a non-working sensor?
you can still use adb push command from pc to transfer files to your phone :
adb push "nameoffile" /sdcard
(place the file in your adb folder) I was able to root a phone that had this issue using this technique.
I think u should flash dm verity becoz when i flashed the rom and flashed dm verity it worked fine
Hello,

"Android Rescue Party trigger! Possible solutions?
Either :
1) Wipe caches, and/or
2) Format data, and/or
3) Clean - Flash your ROM
The reported problem is:
"init_user0_failed"
Unable to decrypt FBE device."
TWRP version 3.6.2_12-MI10Ultra_v3.7_A12
First ROM present on device: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10Ultra_22.6.15_v13-12-fastboot.zip
Second time I tried to flash with fastboot and XiaomiFlash the same ROM, successfully installed, but I was still stuck in the loop.
Third time I flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10Ultra_22.6.29_v13-12.zip with TWRP, successfully, but I'm still stuck on the same loop, Android won't load.
Please I need help, I use the phone for work and actually I've been without for a whole day.
