Okay so I have been noticing many people on each and every rom thread that they are experiencing a corrupt SD card issue. The problem occurs when adoptable storage is not enabled. Many people here seem to not want to jump to adoptable storage but there is no reason not to if you keep it inside your phone.... If you would like to never experience the "Corrupt SD" issue ever again and keep all your files (full twrp support) then follow these steps
Rom with corrupt sd issue:
1. Boot twrp
2. Copy all files from sd card to computer via USB.
3. Boot rom and format sdcard make sure it is adopt able storage or it might recorupt
4. Boot twrp
5. Move all files from computer to sd card via USB
6. Boot Rom and enjoy all your files
Rom without "Corrupt SD" issue:
1. Copy all files from phone to computer via USB while in Tom
2. Format as adobtable
3. Boot twrp
4. Move all files from computer to sdcard
Freedom to install any rom
You NEVER need to format one of those SD Cards again
"There is no reason not to if you keep it inside your phone.".... Are you sure? What if I need to reflash a rom or change rom? I'll need a full wipe, losing photo's camera an other files. I like the adoptable storage, but for reasons like that I had to use my memory as external.

No you won't you don't need to wipe the sd card with Rom changes/reflashes! It's 100% twrp compatible

Wiping does not touch storage.

Hi everyone,
i hope someone can help me with my Question.
Is the Mate9 encrypted by default?
Unfortunately there is no Option to encrypt the Phone manually.
Which enryption Type will be used? File Based or Full?
Will SD-Cards encrypted by default?
Is there any way to check this?
Update:
The Mate 9 is NOT encrypted.
This will be available in the future.
Pretty sad
Mate 9 is loaded with Android 7.0 Nougat which uses File-based Encryption by default rather than Full-Disk Encryption.
http://www.howtogeek.com/269422/how...ats-direct-boot-for-less-annoying-encryption/
For SD card, I don't know because I don't use SD card on my device.
no sorry, i called the Huawei Support Hotline, the Mate internal storage is not encrypted.
Only the SD Card can be encrypted.
btw: in the developer section there isn´t the point "convert to file encryption"

I recall seeing in settings a way to encrypt SD and/or some kind of passcode protect for it.
Sent from my Huawei Mate 9 using XDA Labs
Internal storage is not encrypted by default? That's kinda surprising and disappointing considering how much Huawei was talking about security in their last few events. The file-based encryption should have a negligible performance impact.
Try : settings - fingerprint ID - fingerprint administration - security access - Enable - internal memory / Sd card
Yo can enable encryption there
Enviado desde mi MHA-L29
i think this is not real encryption, this is only a "passcode / fingerprint" safe
https://source.android.com/security/encryption/
Is there any way to check the Filesystem (encrypted or not)?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/decrypt-internal-storage-t3530224
Someone has trouble seeing files via TWRP.. not sure.. maybe it has internal encryption afterall?
Confuuuzing
Not to get political here but you do know where the Mate series is made? The Chinese Government doesn't want device encryption - so it's not there. And even if it was, I wouldn't trust it.
i dont see this setting. may have to return the phone if i cant encrypt the whole device.

I can't say whether it is or isn't, but if I go to Settings, Memory & Storage, Default location, and try to switch the default from internal to SD card, I get a message saying my phone has been encrypted and to make sure the external storage is too before proceeding.
Everydevice which comes with nougat installed from huawei is encrypted with (filebased encryption) and every device which gets nougat update like honor 8 and p9 etc gets full diskencryption so the statement is false it's encrypted. The full disk encryption is one encryption step.
The filebased encryption is two way encryption. It uses default hard disk encryption and per app encryption so yes it's encrypted.

I would like to add that we are talking about the encryption of the /data partition only.
Other parts of your internal memory (like /system) or the SD card are *not* encrpyted
Code:
> adb shell mount | grep cryp
/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata on /data type f2fs (rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,background_gc=on,discard,user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,extent_cache,[B]inline_encrypt[/B],active_logs=6)
File-based encryption should still be active on internal storage unless you have rooted.

There's no needed for system to be encrypted as there's no sensual data that any vendor will release there. So yes only /data is encrypted
Would u see a reason why system would be encrypted?

Well technically yes since on nougat it should encrypt all files on storage. Isn't it how it is? Because you still can get into internal storage but files are random names right?
Also I don't see why phone would encrypt your external sd because usually when setup you don't have any sd card inserted so why only /data partition is encrypted is how it should be since u have an option to encrypt external

Correct. And we know that this part is working because we see people trying to root struggling with it.

No, I don't see a reason for an encrypted system partition.
I wanted to make clear that when we talk about Android encryption only encryption of the data partition is meant.
So I was just supporting your point that the Mate 9 is indeed using encryption.

I'm rooted and encrypted.
Everything but magisk.img and /data/magisk/ is encrypted in /data and it runs fine. I don't see why it doesn't encrypt other things when you reboot, but I guess files outside of /data/data, apps, etc are kept as they are since you're not supposed to install things straight to the root of /data anyway.

I'm trying to root my Samsung galaxy tab A sm t580 using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-official-twrp-gtaxlwifi-galaxy-t3437666
Everything has gone smoothly up to step 11. However, when I try to transfer the supersu zip from my PC to the tab, I get an error message: "Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I only get this error for supersu, other files will transfer normally. I'm very new to rooting, android, and windows so it's possible I'm making a very simple mistake but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

If the device boots, why not just download SuperSU.zip on the tablet via mobile browser? It's a workaround if you can't solve this.
Have you made certain that PC has full USB permissions, have you made sure your device settings are correct for allowing PC to access the device?
If you already have TWRP installed, you can boot to TWRP and use adb to push the SuperSU.zip file to the folder of your choice on the tablet.

I'm not 100% sure, but assuming that since other files besides supersu are transferred normally that all the permissions and access are fine on the PC. I downloaded the supersu zip directly on the tab but I can't find it anywhere to install on twrp, does this method involve something else? I'm not really sure how to use adp, I opened the adp sideload on twrp and all I got was unable/failed to mount data and then my PC never recognized my tablet when plugged in.

Install ES File Explorer on the tablet, open it, click on internal storage, look in your download folder or if you used a certain browser or downloaded to download the file, it might be in a folder with the same name as the browser or downloaded that you used.
As for the permissions being right to move other files, it may depend on where you're trying to move it to on the device, are you trying to move SuperSU.zip to a different location than where you moved the other files?
The best place to put the SuperSU.zip file is in the root of your internal storage, in other words, on the internal sdcard but not in any of the folders, just by itself. Then it's easier to find in TWRP.

I downloaded ES file explorer, and the supersu zip shows on the internal storage by itself as well as in the download folder. When I boot into twrp, it says my internal storage is 0mb and there's nothing in there at all, every folder is empty.
Also, when I was transferring files from PC to the tab there were no folders available, I was just dragging and dropping onto the device itself.

The usual solution to this is:
Boot to system, set a lockscreen pin or password(do not use pattern, has to be PIN or password), make sure it's set to be required at startup(if it doesn't do it by default on your device), then boot to TWRP, enter PIN or password and that should allow you to see your files.

Did you have your device encrypted before you started this process? If so, you'll have to remove the encryption before TWRP will work. Removing encryption will probably wipe your data. You may have to reflash your stock firmware, you might even have to wipe all partitions before flashing.
Do some searching to see what is the safest way to remove encryption on your model number, doing it wrong could make things worse.

I definitely didn't encrypt manually, so only if it would come encrypted. How do I find that out? I bought the tablet specifically to root, so I've started completely from scratch.

That's strange. I'm not sure what the issue is then. Have you tried flashing a different version of TWRP for your model number? Sometimes the issue is in the recovery itself.

I just tried with all 3 versions of twrp available for my device, all 3 were no goes. The supersu zip is for sure saved on my tablet, but I have the same issue with all 3 versions of twrp; the internal storage shows as 0mb and the supersu zip is MIA. I tried transferring the zip over mtp outside of twrp and that worked, but while in twrp I still get the "device has stopped responding" error with all 3 versions.

Wait, how are you trying to do this?
If the SuperSU.zip is on your internal storage then all should have to do is boot to TWRP, tap the "install" button, then find where SuperSU.zip is stored and flash it.
Is that not working?
I am familiar with the usual causes and fixes of this but I've never had this issue myself.
I'm thinking you might not be using the right recovery for your model or you aren't doing something right, something so simple I'm overlooking it.

Yes that's the problem, when I boot to twrp and tap install there's nothing in the internal storage. The guide I followed says to transfer supersu over mtp while in twrp, but that doesnt work; I keep getting the "device has stopped responding or has been disconnected" error. I downloaded the supersu zip directly on the tablet as well as transferred over mtp while not in twrp and both of those worked. My only guess is that the guide says to transfer supersu over mtp while in twrp for a specific reason that would solve this, but I can't get around that error message.

It doesn't matter how you get it transferred, just as long as it gets there. Do you have an extra card slot? If so, put it on the extsdcard and flash it in TWRP from there, or if you have a USB drive that can connect to the device you might be able to flash it in TWRP from the USB.

Hi all,
I have a problem with decryption of the data partion within TWRP. The password (PIN or pattern) for decryption within TWRP that I set up within Android is not recognized as correct. However, decryption within Android works fine.
After fresh install of latest Sony build 41.3.A.2.75 (F8331_Telekom.de DE_1305-4974_41.3.A.2.75_R2E) that I downloaded with XperiFirm V5.3.6, I created a .ftf file that I flashed with latest FlashTool V0.9.24.4.
Then I tried to flashed different versions of TWRP (3.1.1-0 and 3.2.1-0) via fastboot, boot into Oreo and set up the encryption. Booting again into TWRP and decryption is not working. No matter what kind of password method I choose or even rotating an easy password pattern (+90°,-90°,180°).
My final goal is to use the eXistenZ Oreo v3.0.0 F8331 patch.
Does anyone have the same issue? Or, where is the bug?
Thanks for help!

What do you mean with not compatible? TWRP is working fine without device encryption on my Xperia, just decryption of data partition within TWRP does not work.
Right now I am installing apps and configuring them. When I am done with all, I will make a final last backup within TWRP and finally enable device encryption at the end.
With the result, that I have no read/write access to my data partition, but at least my device is encrypted, which is more important to me than having the access to the data partition within TWRP.
I was reading in another XDA forum of another device, that some have the same problem with Android Oreo and TWRP.
So, can someone confirm this bug? Or have a solution for this? I am guessing that the latest version of TWRP have a general problem with decryption on some devices.
When i try to flash roms with twrp i get strange filenames in one slot while on other slot everything is fine.all directories and files are listed like this
Nhfsdhhjjkgdz
Jgdsghjkhgsgd
Bdfgjjmmfsghhj
On problematic slot
Do you know where is the problem and how can i fix it?
