Hello everyone,
I think I have a big issue on my hands. My OnePlus One has always been encrypted. When I upgraded to lollipop for Cyanogenmod, I had to wipe my device because the encryption from lollipop was different than kitkat. That seemed to go well and lollipop is working fantastically. I encrypted my device again after installing lollipop. Now, when I try to flash a zip with TWRP, it says my password is incorrect and I can't mount the system. I am able to decrypt my device when booting into Android, so I know my password is correct, but TWRP doesn't think it is. When I upgraded and encrypted my device, I was using TWRP version 2.8.0.1. I have since upgraded to the latest version 2.8.5.1 successfully with no change in behavior. What can I do to get TWRP working again? It is pretty much useless when I can't mount the system and install anything.
Please let me know if this thread belongs elsewhere.
Thanks,
Chris

Have you tried flashing back to 2.8.0.1 to see if it still works?
Newer versions of TWRP have encryption problems.

I just tried 2.8.0.1 with no success. This appears to be a known issue (issue 333 on the TWRP GitHub repo), and people are suggesting to just upgrade nightly versions without backing up first. :S
Hello everybody, I hope to find help here.
My phone is the HTC One A9, Europe Version ("hiaeuhl"). Recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-0.
The background story is that I already managed to install Cyanogenmod after downgrading the original ROM to Version 1.10 and unlocked the bootloader with the HTC Unlock tool. I also managed to decrypt the device.
I'd like to update my system regularly, but unfortunately the last running version is the cm-13.0-20160904-NIGHTLY-hiaeuhl.zip from September 4th.
If I try to install the latest versions of Cyanogenmod (for example from September 9th) I always get the error
hiae.veryfy.trustzone() failed to read current TZ version: -2
Updater process ended with ERROR 7
I already tried to remove the lines that check this in the file updater_script inside the ROM's zip, then I could install the update, but afterwards I was stuck in a boot loop.
The error has nothing to do with the encryption, it apears with and without device encryption, and it has nothing to do which system (original or custom) is installed before flashing. It is also indifferent if I try the update via the system's update function or directly in TWRP. It's the fact that the Cyanogenmod version from September 4th is the last working for me. I definetly chose the right one for hiaeuhl, but it seems the developers have added a feature that makey my device incompatible to this ROM.
If there is anything I can do to update my system again, please let me know.
Have the same issue.
We need to update it, but I don't know how
jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/NIGHTLIES-3351
Here is how I could solve the issue:
- flashing the latest stock firmware (and let it possibly completely update)
- install TWRP via fastboot
- from TWRP a factory reset
- install new version of the Cyanogenmod from TWRP
It worked for me, now I can use my beloved custom Rom
The Same Problem
I have exactly the same Problem, last working CM-Update was the 3rd September
Did you try my solution? With the older CM Rom versions for the HTC A9 you had to downgrade the stock rom, otherwise the CM wouldn't have started after the installation. Now it seems that the stock rom has to be the latest one (for me the 1.56) that you are able to flash the latest CM versions.
I do not have the latest stock Rom, my os is 1.27.161.6, seems actually cm needs 1.57, i am unlocked and s-off
You should probably find the right version for your phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/general/wip-ruu-htc-one-a9-t3240344
You should take the one with the right cid for your phone (which you can find with "fastboot getvar all" in the fastboot mode)
Thanks, i will try it and report
The last build i found for my version is 1.27. this is what i have
Hmmm... then I guess you have to wait until the new version appears in the forum. Seems that you have a device with vodafone branding. Since you already set S-off you also have the possibility to change your cid to one of the existing newer firmwares.
Is there a solution without going back to stock?
I'm not an expert, but I don't think so. It seems that the version number of the stock rom is stored somewhere even after changing the system to Cyanogenmod, and this version has to be the latest one. So unfortunately, as far as I know, you'll have to do the flashing procedure again...
thanks Silberhase, now i am on CM 13 again. Thats what i did: wrote Supdercid, searched a ruu-version for my build, found a 1.56.401.70 version, flashed this, then flashed twrp 3.0.2.0 again, factory reset - without factory reset i was not able to install cm, format data, recovery, latest cm update, flash gapps, restore my other data with titanium, done....
I'm glad to hear it worked for you!
Yes, but next Problem or better i actually do not know what problems will raise. After updating today successfully to last cm build phone is encrypted... TWRP requires password for decryption. Problem all over forums. Today i habe no fun to Format data again and restore all.
That's also what I experienced. Other users reported that the current TWRP version 3.0.2.0 can't handle the encryption of the HTC One A9. And every update will encrypt the device again. As a workaround you can do this:
- copy the downloaded update from /sdcard/cmupdater to the external memory card
- boot to the recovery (when asked for password push the cancel button) and install both the update and the gapps again (without wiping anything) from the memory card.
Its a pity, all worked perfectly. Installed last cm.. Which encrypted phone. Restored my backup. All Working. Updated apps, want backup again.... .... Error opening /system/addon.d (not a directory)..error in generating tarlist......Create tarfork()
Process Ended with error 255
I'm trying to help as much as I can even though I have no experience with all this. I never did a backup
Maybe you find the answer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/e-createtarfork-process-error255-t3302462
Maybe it helps to mount "system" in TWRP and then delete /system/addon.d. But it seems that this step has to be repeated before every backup.
Any news to this theme? Is Twrp able to handle A9 again in new Version?
The recent version 3.0.2.0 of TWRP is available for the A9 but can't handle it's encryption. It works anyway if you are willing to use some workarounds.
I can install unofficial TWRP but I can't decrypt data if my phone has a pass code on it.
I need to remove all security to properly flash a rom. It's not the end of the world and more of an inconvenience than anything but I was wondering if anybody had a solution.
Seems to have occurred after the update to C567 and wasn't an issue before.

Hello community!
Hope you are doing awesome, I am trying to install specifically the update from the 18 th of May (latest while doing this post) so when I downloaded it I go to TWRP and this is what I done
1)Place my pin and decrypt the device
2) Perform a format Data > Yes
3) Wipe cache, dalvik, internal
4) Restart to Recovery
5) Install the update all seems to be fine and reboot to system
The Phone boots to Poco screen and then vibrates and then gets me back to TWRP. I manage one time to get it worked and got in the config page from the customer rom a UI unresponsive message and is unable to connect to my Wifi so I have to use the Data 4G to make it work and I rolledback to April version of Arrow OS that seems to be the one working now.
The Miui stock that I am using to install the customer Rom is surya_global_images_V12.0.8.0.QJGMIXM_20210222.0000.00_10.0_global
Could you please provide some hints and tips what I am doing wrong so I can get this updates up to date? Because I love the Arrow OS Rom and I want to keep the firmware updated correclty on my side.
Thank you!
I am very interested, too. Got the same problem. After latest OTA-Update I'm stuck in a recovery bootloop as well.
Sadly even the attempt to flash back an older version or a MIUI Stock rom is failing for me now. Always recovery bootloop, even after a successfull flash without errors (and format data of course) .
Is the stock rom or an older arrow os version working for you, after the 18th May update?
@koelbche I was able to make a stock based on the stock fw shown on my post. then I installed old version of arrow OS April update and it was restarting bootloop.
I had to delete data, factory reset and select de wipe options so super clean flash and manage to boot it up.
I am waiting for any updates from others that manage to install the updates because I was not able to do it.
Flash ArrowOS custom recovery for ota update to work. After update you can flash recovery back to TWRP for root and backup, your choice.
I was able to make it worked in another post.
All I have to do was to update the version of the stock with Oss vendor (I think) and then all worked like a charm!.
Thanks for the replies though
Hello,
I have a moto G100 I just purchased. I unlocked the bootloader and I tried to install LineageOS but it was being difficult. I could get it to boot into TWRP. Now I tried to restore everything to stock as it wasn't even booting. After flashing the rom back in via fastboot the unit shows up as a serial device but that's it, no picture on the screen or anything.
I need some help to get this working again. Besides the directions on the LineageOS page sucks, steps are missing and things do not work properly.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode and won't boot.
Can anyone please help so this won't take weeks or months?
Thanks
Hello,
I fixed the brick with the blankflash file blankflash_nio_RRTS31.Q1-84-24-3-6
I was able to then use the official tool to recover the firmware. I was able to get LineageOS working but I wasn't able to do TWRP at all properly.
So I managed to install twrp but couldn't install lineage or anything out of it...
I managed to get TWRP installed but it was essentially useless as I couldn't access the internal flash unless it was setup by the OS already if you format the internal flash storage with TWRP it's useless especially via MTP.
I was able to install LineageOS and I was able to boot it, but I don't understand why it says I do not have enough space to install gapps. Without gapps LineageOS is essentially useless as an OS unless you do not use anything from google at all whatsoever not eve maps or anything.
How do I fix it so I can install gapps? I can't resize the system partition via TWRP as it doesn't even show it.
Thanks
if you have the bootloader unlocked you can try the "tinyflashscript" way and use that to overwrite all partitions with a stock image found here
RET stands for Retail and than the region code follows, just download the latest one for your region
after that your partitions are reset to the start and you could keep it that way or attempt to install lineage again but clean this time
I ran into the exact same situation as you with the storage issues and this fixed it for me
Hello my G100 was fully hard bricked trying to installed LineageOS (not the modded). I followed the following steps:
1. Installed and booted into LineageOS recovery from electimon.
2. Factory reset
3. Install ROM as adb sideload.
However, installation stuck at 47% and aborted. Phone was hard bricked once turned off. It couldn't even boot into booloader.
Luckily, I was able to enter EDL mode by pressing and holding volume and power down together for some time while it was plugged into PC using usb. Then I used blankflash to restore. This saved me from taking it to repair centre.
Hello,
I had the same brick issue and blankflash fixed it for me. I will try writing stock again then install LOSRecovery again and then try sideloading both LineageOS and gapps but I don't think that will work correctly as I think I did try that but we shall see, last time I did an install though after fixing the brick issue I used fastboot to do the stock recovery which should have fixed the partition sizes...
Thanks
It's strange that device becomes hard bricked because I installed LineageOS before and it booted fine. Only thing now changed is that I'm using February stock ROM instead of December one. Did Motorola change anything in Feb update that would cause hard brick when trying to install custom ROM?
Also, I've never did the "Ensuring all firmware partitions are consistent" thing. It worked before but not sure if we need to do it now.
Hello,
Strange indeed I can get LineageOS installed BUT because this is an A/B phone which is so silly, I can't install Gapps into LineageOS so essentially useless as the installer says the partition is too small and I do not have a way to fix that at the moment.
Thanks, and blankflash was able to get me up and running on stock but I cannot use the phone yet just like the DooGee S95 Pro I bought in hopes to use LineageOS... long story. Stuck with my ZTE Axon 7 from 2016 and a crap phone to make calls since my provider killed service to my ZTE Axon 7 so I carry basically 3 phones now. Until there is a fully working TWRP I am essentially screwed and feel like I wasted $400 on another phone.

Using the method I described above I was able to install Lineageos 19.1 and then gapps (mindthegapps) using lineage recovery. it should be entirely possible
Hello,
With the storage not being large enough I was trying to install openGapps ( stock size ) for Android 11 since I was trying to use Lineage 18.1 and not 19/19.1 since 19/19.1 appear to have bugs and 18.1 does not. Anyhow I tried to sideload openGapps and it said there wasn't enough space on the system partition. I suppose I should try mindthegapps instead.
Thanks
So anyone successfully installed it without causing hardbrick? What exact steps did u follow? r u using g100 or edge s and what is the build number of stock rom prior to install? thanks

I used the latest stock after doing a recovery with blankflash and the rescue utility from Motorola. I then installed LOSrecovery because TWRP isn't ready. I then booted into LOSrecovery and sideloaded 19.1 latest from this forum. I can't figure out how to resize /system correctly so I cannot install anything other than MindTheGapps which sucks a lot.
Anyhow if we get a working TWRP soon that will allow resize as TWRP can't show the system partition and A/B switching is being worked out then we will be good to go.
If this isn't helpful or you need exact commands then I can do that too for you.
