My pin to decrypt phone does not work in twrp ?? Works everywhere else
Sent a from Jellyrolled One S
hello there,
Z3 D6633 here running 5.0.2 (HK) with TWRP rooted with superSU. Trying to upgrade to the newly released 5.1.1.
The phone had been be Encrypted some months ago and everything is fine. However, when I booted into TWRP to try to patch in 5.1.1, TWRP popped up with a password prompt. I entered the decrypt password (and other passwords I can think of) but TWRP replied with:
Unable to mount storage, and
Failed to decrypt data.
Google tells me there had been some issues with TWRP 2.8.4.1 to 2.8.6.0 unable to decrypt encrypted volumes so I went and grabbed the latest XZdualrecovery 2.8.21 and ran that in. All seemed fine and TWRP was updated to 2.8.7.0. Unfortunately, upon booting into recovery, TWRP still count not decrypt the volumes no matter what passwords I enter.
Does anyone have any ideas to get around this, short of a factory reset..? The SD card is also encrypted so I am trying to avoid factory reset if possible..
Thanks in advance
No. I find it ridiculous that it is simple and easy to encrypt, but to decrypt one needs a full reset losing all data? Android is fing lame. Can't wait to buy a tablet so I CAN encrypt both phone and tablet. At least with a win7 tablet decrypting will never be an issue. Android is more of a toy that destroys eyesight imo.
Hello.
I have setup Lineage 13 port on my device Xiaomi Mi 5s (capricorn) and as usually i configured a pin and a fingerprint that were both working properly while on the system.
The very first reboot asked for my pin to boot the device, I inputed it, said it was wrong.
Same thing for TWRP.
Now i'm stuck and a data partition encrypted and i dont' know how to decrypt or mount it without decryption on twrp so i can flash the whole system again.
Can someone help? Thanks.
PS:
I hade lineage 14 before and i had pattern boot unlocking and it was working just fine.
Hi folks,
My MI4C is on the weekly MIUI 7.4.x, I am now looking to upgrade, hence as usual I rebooted in recovery.
The phone has obviously root and unlocked bootloader.
TWRP is asking for my encryption password, which I know, but no matter what, TWRP does not flipping accept the password!
What can I do?
Do you know if you have the Nougat bootloader or the old one?
I have not found a TWRP that can successfully decrypt it Nougat bootloader ROMs. If you are not on the Nougat Bootloader then I recommend trying Team Superluminal's TWRP, since that is the only one that worked with encryption enabled for me I think.
Have you got a working rom/os on the phone ?, If you do have try to add a password on the rom, hope the twrp has a new working crypto after that and ask you for a new password. If it didnt work try to reinstall the twrp by erasing it first.
Hi, I am on the Nougat bootloader, I tried to change the encryption password, tried to remove the encryption, but nothing worked, TWRP is still asking me the password to access the data partition.
What can I do?
I cannot wipe the phone, as I use it for my work,how can I upgrade TWRP when encryption is on?
Hi folks, anybody in my situation? I would like to avoid wiping the entire phone just because of the TWRP password bug.
I changed to a PIN password, but nothing works.
so i flashed Oreo firmware into my XZ ( F8332 ), then when i go into TWRP ( 3.3.1.0 ) it asking for password and i was done a fresh flash, no password or encrypt data, please help
