TWRP doesn't not show the exact SD card contents - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
In my TWRP, I can't get to see the exact SD card contents
All I can see is some random folders in sdcard.
Can you please help me with this?

This happens when decryption fails. Were you prompted for a pattern unlock when you booted into recovery?

Stock or Clockwork recovery?
If stock, I'd use fastboot to push clockwork 3.0.0.5.
If you can get into clockwork recovery, I believe you can mount the sdcard from within clockwork's mounts menu, and then use adb to push files to it.
Check the other threads for more instructions on how to accomplish those if you're not familiar with them.

Lost root and TWRP recovery doesn't recognize my encryption PIN

While attempting to flash the latest unofficial MIUI build yesterday, I got stuck at the animation logo, so I gave up. Instead, I flashed the Android L developer build, which did boot up completely for me. However, when I attempted to boot back into recovery, I got prompted to enter my encryption passcode, which I did. However, TWRP keeps telling me that decryption failed and to try again. The issue isn't an incorrect passcode, so I'm at a loss to try to figure out what's going on. Also, because TWRP won't decrypt my storage, I can't flash anything (despite the fact that I'm able to access SD card files from a file manager app when the phone is on). Any way I can get TWRP to decrypt my storage without having to wipe everything completely? Has anyone else experienced this?

Recovery is flashed in fastboot/bootloader...
Unless you used Towelroot, then you'll have to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe.
Really what I need is to figure out why TWRP isn't recognizing my encryption PIN. My storage is encrypted, but whenever I input my encryption PIN, I get an error message. How do I get it TWROP to recognize my encryption PIN?
Doesn't flashing L mess with your sdcard anyway?

Encryption always causes issues. I suggested to reflash TWRP with fastboot to rule out TWRP itself being the issue.
This is why I never encrypt. I just don't trust it.

Then i did a factory reset .. then i whiped data .. and reflashed rom .. anyways encryption is gone .. but i cant copy stuff from my pc to the handset well ... not that i care .. but kind of inconvenient
Was this resolved?
I am facing the same issue with the AOSP builds of L. I wanted to take new Nandroid backups and realized that TWRP cannot decrypt the partition.

In need of help! TWRP!

first some back story:
it's been a long time since i did a lot of rooting so i lost a lot of knowledge.
I got the phone close to release in the EU.
There was only BETA stage twrp at the time.
So i flashed this unstable twrp and rooted with magisk.
And i run stock Oxy Rom.
But the main problem is, whenever i boot into recovery, twrp ask me for a password. (i have none) so i press continue.
And it then ask for unmodified system partition. (not sure what to select here)
But when i swipe to allow modification, i can't find the root of the phone? i cannot find the download folder where i flash updates or other modified apk's.
It's all just numbers and random letter. i have no idea on how to proceed or how to update twrp safely without falling into boot loop and other problems.
Some help would be appriciated. Thank you.

and which of my problems does this solve?
First of all flash official TWRP now. Makes no sense to use the unofficial version because its not stable.
Enter PW -> decrypt data for TWRP
No PW -> hieroglyphs
I successfully used official twrp, version 3.2.2 and then did a "format data" and then used fastboot again to install the full rom.

U have corrupted u r data partation u have to factory reset along with wiping internal storage and then transfer u r rom File through MTP in sd card of phone and then flash rom.
Or u can flash fastboot flashable rom via fastboot mode.
Then install your official twrp via fastboot mide after installing rom.
Now twrp will detect all data from sd card

Can Anyone help me, please? I have somehow the same problem. The phone literally itself without doing anything started doing a download(odin) mode loop. So I deleted data, dalvik, cache, system partitions without internal storage since it has very very important files for me and a lot of projects for the university!!! and before and after the folders in internal storage in twrp shows as random numbers and letters. I don't know why since when the phone was working normally I was protecting it by fingerprint and a password. And when I installed a stock ROM after it without wiping the internal storage. The storage is showing in negative. If anyone can help me this would be super appreciated and helpful. Thank you!

If it is already showing folders with random file names in the internal storage it means it needs to format data (to remove file encryption) which deletes all files in the internal storage.
Don't wipe system because it removes your OS.
Always secure backup before messing your device.

You may try this boot.img just rename to boot.img only.

Sorry I thought you are also literally same issues with OP but then it's not. Are you able to reboot to twrp? And what is the whole story of you device? I mean if you are rooted, what ROM you came from and all that you did before the issues occur. And did you tried to switch slot? Since you wiped everything with system included then you have no OS installed. Did you tried to flash OS via OTG? Or flash via fastboot.
I flashed another os without deleting the internal storage but the storage is now showing in negative values. Story is The phone literally itself without doing anything started doing a download(odin) mode loop. So I deleted data, dalvik, cache, system partitions without internal storage since it has very very important files for me and a lot of projects for the university!!! and before and after the folders in internal storage in twrp shows as random numbers and letters. I don't know why since when the phone was working normally I was protecting it by fingerprint and a password. And when I installed a stock ROM after it without wiping the internal storage. The storage is showing in negative and yes I can still boot into twrp

TWRP asking Dcrypt password

I didn't do any password or tried to do encryption for my data, because of that reason i cant see any files on twrp but i have no issues on booting into system, what i cant do is not able to backup files and i cant see any files if i look through twrp. How to get rid of this issues please
Maybe you set before a password when you firs setup the phone, but even if you remove it later, i think in the twrp it still needs it
use USB-C stick, save to it twrp instalation zip, in running twrp change storage source to USB, flash twrp from USB, then reboot to recovery
this happened to me after the last update
You can try to disable the password from the phone settings & then reboot in twrp, it won't ask for the password.

i never tried it, but as i know you need to flash that zip to decrypt the phone each time you flash a rom , not only one, ( that's what i know, and as i told you i never tried it)
@alwynjoshy
you need a new fresh TWRP installation, if you tried my procedure via USB-C and didn't work, install twrp * .img from your computer via fastboot procedure
Just boot into UI then remove any security options like face lock, fingerprint, pattern And pin.

Boot to twrp gives me encrypted files

Hi guys,
I have a pretty weird problem.
I was running LineageOS 17.1, tried to go on 18.
Don't know what I screwed up but when I try to reboot to recovery as I do usually to flash, twrp boots but acts as if my files were encrypted.
I took care to remove pin lock before upgrade.
Weird thing is that when I boot twrp from fastboot, I can see my files.
My twrp is latest official 3.4.0-3
My system now can't boot (I think that it sees the data as encrypted also)
Would anyone know what's happening here ?
Try your lockscreen password.

Just bite the bullet and full wipe back to stock and try again.

Have you solved it?
If you switch over to the other slot in twrp, is it different? My files appear encrypted on slot b (no password asked like with you) on slot a twrp asks for a password and all is fine and I can boot into my phone normally
