Chainfire haven't updated cf autoroot yet. I tried it and it didn't work.
I don't know about other ways.
TWRP itself works with 7.0 and decrypted data. So Flashing SuperSU there works (at least for me and Chainfire itself).
But if you have encrypted data, after you flash TWRP, 7.0 would not boot until you format data. The cause is unknown for now. See the SuperSU or TWRP thread for more.

It's encrypted by default. It just does not have a custom password set.
If TWRP can't mount data your data partition is encrypted and you need to flash the noencrypt zip and format data.

And if i remove password and fingerprint ?

Flashing only is not enough. You have to format data and by this loose all your data on the phone. There is currently no other way.

[Q] Is it possible to Flash .ZIP without root?

I have Galaxy S6 (920F) with Android Nougat.
I have managed to install TWRP Recovery on my device and it is allowing me to install .zip files. But my phone is Not ROOTED.
So my question is,
If I flash .zip(s) now that are made for my device, will it be installed successfully?
or my device will stuck on bootloop?
Well, if you are flashing some files into directories that don't require root to access, it will work.
But lets say you want to flash ported system app (like message app). It will not work, since it requires flashing into \system and that directory requires root to be accessed and modified. :good:

You can use this recovery, when you're on Oreo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/preliminary-twrp-3-1-1-0-mate-9-emui-8-t3687622
Then this SuperSU: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579485056
There's no Magisk yet.

I've yet to try decrypting oreo, but you should be able to modify the updater-script in both public and HW zips, and remove the command mountcrypt and the last that should normally install update.app.
So unzip, edit, zip. It should work if it's just the Huawei commands that are making it reboot.

1.flashed oreo
2.boot,factory reset with erasing data.
3.unlock BL
4.flashed TWRP
5.format data
6.reboot recovery,data was decrypted.
7.install SuperSu with the file u gave me in this thread.

9.reboot
but when i boot in TWRP between first boot loop after installing SuperSu,data was encrypted.

Not possible with twrp
erase require [must with fastboot only]
Code:
fastboot format userdata

It should be possible. I don't think SuperSU changes/removes everything it needs to though, as we now seem to have 3 different fstab rather than 1. It should be possible to modify the AVB script to remove fileencryptioninline.

Much has changed since I posted that
Use this TWRP: https://mega.nz/#!4DYngAxL!OJEgQ4a4cSTypHgRBbMQbok2BRDuVHSDXNktAJ_PnKQ (flash to recovery_ramdisk)
With official Magisk v16 : http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
I don't think SuperSU will get more updates tbh, and I haven't tested it lately. I do know that Magisk works on AOSP

Encrypted device after Oreo update.

Hello,
I downloaded the Oreo Firmware using XperiFirm and I made an FTF using Flashtool. I installed the ROM successfully but now my device is encrypted and this really affect its performance.
I did a factory reset and even reinstalled the ROM but my F8332 (dual sim version) is still encrypted.
Does anybody know how to decrypt my device?
Thank you,
once it is encrypted, you cannot decrypt it.
you need to backup your data and format the data partition through TWRP and use a custom kernel to avoid encryption.
Is there a custom Kernel that is compatible with Oreo?

It shouldn't affect your performance. Encryption is enforced on stock rom since 7.0...

You can boot twrp without flashing and then flash root

You said you wanted root, you were supposed to use the process to get root not flash magisk. I thought you had a method of installing magisk after getting root. I thought you were going to boot twrp recovery, not flash it, since you said you didn't want twrp.
Unfortunately you're going to have to flash stock with OST.

yeah now i got twrp but only come when boot from fastboot commands and i want magisk how can i get it?
did i have to first flash supersu zip from twrp then install magsik? but i want only magisk not supersu

Might I ask: what do you need magisk for?
Also in that recovery I got errors like can't Mount and some kind of encryption error and it say's I have to format data
Need magisk for root and modules as also I want all updates properly installed means i want to in stock recovery

In my opinion, only use the recovery for flashing stuff, don't mount anything other than sdcard, don't unlock. Maybe when there is a more compatible version of twrp ...

Well i don't know about the modules, but when I flashed stock firmware with OST (first time I flashed recovery my phone was stuck in twrp) then flashed root and xposed, I was still able to install updates. The stock firmware I installed was 7.0, but now i'm on the most recent update. So unless there are some specific modules that you need from magisk, I think you can stick with the regular root.
On the other hand you can continue to experiment with magisk, maybe you will find something that we don't know yet and get it working. But remember, if you want to flash anything, don't format with twrp at all, just leave everything readonly and flash
I'm not able to go to recovery by buttons. Only by fastboot command why is that?
What the hell is this i just try to go to recovery by buttons it works but I'm on stock recovery but i flashed twrp then i format data did formatting data did something to recovery? Or is it that i have to use fastboot command to go to twrp recovery? Where the hell is that recovery?

I don't know; the process of flashing recovery on HMD's nokias isn't yet fully developed, people have complained about flashing recovery but still not booting into it. Personally I would recommend that you use stock recovery and use fastboot to boot into twrp instead of actually flashing twrp whenever you want to flash anything. That way you are still able to install system update
But for installing magisk every where written that flash magisk zip from twrp but i got bootloop

Have you flashed stock firmware with OST? Can you boot normally now? If not, do that, then update ti the current android version using OTA. After that boot into twrp (whether you chose to flash twrp or just boot twrp is up to you). Do a backup then try flashing magisk again, maybe it will work this time
Yeah i already flashed stock rom with ost and already update to latest version i think magisk is not supported in Nokia 3

Hello mate, you can't root nokia 3 with Magisk. Why? Because noone never send boot img to dev! So only option to root it is Chainfire SuperUser 2.79v.
Ok brother but i have a question if i root and then remove some system apps then can I safely install updates?

TWRP 0mb after flashing TWRP from magisk (Post Android 10 and magisk successfully)

Hi Guys,
I have downloaded the android 10 update and have followed all the steps to make the OS updated and successfully with magisk.
And when everything was working with Android 10+Magisk I have flashed twrp via magisk and Magisk is gone.
When i try to flash that from TWRP. TWRP doesn't show my internal storage or any USB storage via OTP.
Can anyone please help to decrypt my storage in TWRP without losing data.

I have 3.3.1-1 I assume thats the latest. I have got the magisk working. And I have tried removing screen lock tried adding back password(instead of pattern) but nothing is working for TWRP to detect encrypted storage. It usually asks for password to decrypt but i dont get that prompt. Can you please help me.
