i'm having issues to use TWRP after encrypting the phone memory. I tried the following:
• "TWP-3.0.2-2-E6653.img" is just doing nothing after entering the PIN
• "twrp-3.0.2-0-E6653-20160417.img" shows
○ Unable to mount storage (is this due to no SD present?)
○ After entering the PIN: "Password failed, please try again"
is anyone experiencing the same effect? according to the changelog (https://kernel.andro.plus/kitakami_r2.html) it should work, do you know how to contact the developers?
the phone configuration:
-E6653
-stock rom .253
-the following steps applied (thanks to the other posters, but each post was not working for me at some point, because something was missing. so here is what i did):

anyone? is encryption really not possible?
It is possible.. I had the internal storage encrypted, but I also had serious problems trying to wipe it via TWRP. Somehow I managed to wipe it flashing stock recovery, I couldn't do it with TWRP.
Hi Lionel,
Which Rom and twrp version did you use? I still can't get access to the data with twrp, see above. Could you create backups with your configuration?
How did u manage to remove encryption by flashing it. i have tried and failed. What settings did u use in Flashtools?

I had to flash kernel and recovery (both stock), then when rebooted, it started to wipe.
My problem started when I tried to make a factory reset from android. Then every time the phone started it went to TWRP, but it couldn't wipe the user data partition.
Hi,
I been searching for a way to encrypt the data partition with magisk and i didn't succeded at all. No matter if flash magisk in an already encrypted system (it says "using cache walkaround" but it gets stuck in the glowing samsung boot logo) or if i try to encrypt the terminal after having a magisk working system. I even tried to mark in magisk "Keep Forced Encryption" in MagiskManager with no success. It makes the system hang again in the boot secuence after reflashing magisk and rebooting.
I just want root in the stock firmware to be able to debloat and use titanium and a couple of apps.
Any way to have encrypted data and root in nougat?
Yes.
There are two requirements to support rooted stock firmware and encryption:
- You MUST use the stock kernel binary. Custom kernel binaries are blocked by TIMA, which handles encryption.
- You need to change "ro.config.tima" in the system build.prop to 0. This doesn't entirely disable TIMA, but seems to relax the encryption requirements a bit(less salting?) which will allow a modified ramdisk to work properly. It's slightly less secure, but still more secure than going unencrypted
Notes: You will need to wipe /data initially after making the build.prop change. You'll need to disable dm-verity after modifying /system. If you installed a custom kernel before you should reflash the entire firmware as the kernel installer likely deleted the TIMA trustlet binary. Some success was had before with getting custom kernels past TIMA by killing the TIMA service soon after boot, but this had the tendency to brick the data partition. Perhaps in future...
Edit: attached a flashable zip to make the build.prop change from TWRP

Hey , thanks a lot for the info and the file . I learned more from it than 2 days on the internet struggling with this "issue"!
Actually I already tried another way and it worked!
I'll try to explain for the record.
I just installed TWRM and formated /data (not wiping. cause you have to write a file there afterwards) and from there I opened the terminal of TWRM and created /data/.magisk (as in magisk FAQ is explained) with KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true in it . Then installed a rom (ambasadii's one with magisk 13.6 root ) and... that's it. it worked.
Afterwards i did a lot of automatic tasks of secure network daily backups since when you're encrypted it's kind of easy to f^ckup the system and lose everything and now I'm happy.
Probably i was lucky since the kernel probably is the stock one as you said in this ROM.
I still have to try more stuff to be sure everything is working and the data is safe (safe enough at least)
one question:
do you think it would work if i activate dm-verity or this firmware and or magisk modify the ramdisk (so it wont.) ?

dm-verity likely won't work on a custom ROM(unless the ROM maker specifically re-signed it, but that's unlikely and bloody difficult). Making any changes to /system (including the build.prop tweak I mentioned!) will necessitate disabling it and there are a bunch of changes in custom Roms. Ambasadii's nougat ROM does indeed make use of the stock kernel and most likely has the TIMA prop already toggled. So an ideal setup I think. The data should be pretty solid provided the TIMA trustlet never goes missing(encryption keys basically self-destruct, which bricks the partition )
EDIT: You also might want to check in TWRP if the data was genuinely encrypted. Android generally won't complain if it isn't. If TWRP can mount it it isn't encrypted.

checked.
/data unmountable.
So wrapping things up:
- Magisk root
- CTC passed
- Encryption
- Custom Rom
- Lastest Nougat
:good::good::good::good::good:
the only thing left is figuring out how to update the rom without losing data or everything actually.

Little late sorry, but if you keep the TIMA prop disabled you can flash the full firmware with HOME_CSC and it will keep the data. Just reflash twrp after it does the update(needs full reboot into stock recovery first to finish update) and flash the TIMA zip in this thread with a root zip.
Step-by-Step-Guide to a S7 with Nougat+Root+Magisk+Encryption
Hi there,
I am glad that there is a way to use Nougat, Root and Magisk on an encrypted S7. For the last months I have tried every so-called-solution (TWRP, CF-AutoRoot, reflash Stock boot.img, Helios' Stock kernel) but always ended up in bootloops or an unencrypted device.
Can someone provide me with a step-by-step-guide how to achieve a rooted-magisked-encrypted S7 running Nougat?f I am now running unrooted stock 7.0 with VIA CSC, Build G930FXXU1DQH9.
Thanks in advance!
A step by step for this would be great.
i tried several variations of the proposed methods and did not succeed in any way, please clarify
i tried these variations, and many many more:
flash stock
reboot
flash twrp
wipe system
format data
terminal: KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true >> /data/.magisk
flash ambassadi rom, dirty flash, magisk root, wipe cache
reboot
set fingerprint & password + fast encrypt
bootloop
format data
wipe sys caches
terminal: KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true >> /data/.magisk
flash ambassadi rom, clean, magisk root, wipe cache
reboot
set fingerprint & password
reboot
encrypt
bootloop
flash stock
reboot
set fingerprint&pw
reboot
flash twrp
tima
format data
magisk
no-veri opt enc
reboot
set up fingerprint + pw
reboot
encrypt
unsucessful but bootable
The most sucess i had with the stock rom, though i dont remember how exactly. I didnt take my password, which i suspect to be a verification error since the password was the right one
On the batman rom the ui hanged itself on first encrypted startup.
On ambassadi rom i got into bootloop every time.
Did i miss something??
Regarding stock rooted encryption there are some notes, in addition to the requirements in my post above(stock kernel etc):
- Samsung's encryption never handles post setup encryption that well. At least from my experience. You need to be encrypted from the get-go. This implies re-wiping data the moment you're finished flashing the custom ROM as TIMA won't encrypt unless the partition is blank(which it won't be with the leftover magisk config file).
- The TIMA prop must be changed before first boot. Data encrypted with prop in either state is incompatible with data encrypted during the other state. State "1" bootloops on rooting. State "0" allows it.
So for stock the step-by-step would be:
- Flash full stock and use CSC(NOT HOME_CSC), let it reboot to the initial setup screen. This is important to apply the CSC settings from the firmware package, which if not done will result in an unusable secure keyboard and cause various other issues.
- Flash TWRP
- Flash the TIMA prop zip in the post above
- Flash a verity disable zip which DOESN'T disable Force Encryption. For convenience I have attached a modified version which doesn't.
- Format /data
- Reboot into setup and run through the wizard.
- Reboot back to TWRP and flash a root solution like Magisk. Don't worry about force encryption now as the data partition should be encrypted already by this stage. Magisk should revert to the /cache workaround.
To update:
- Flash the latest full stock firmware package but this time use HOME_CSC
- Let it reboot into stock recovery and do the upgrade process.
- It should end up on the secure Startup page asking for your password. No password will work at this point because your data was encrypted in TIMA state "0".
- Reboot to download mode and flash TWRP.
- Reboot to TWRP
- Flash the TIMA prop and verity zips.
- Reboot into to Android (password should work now)
- Let it finish the upgrade.
- Reboot to TWRP and flash your root solution.
These are the basic processes which worked for me.

when first reboot into TWRP wich option should get? "keep read only" or "allow modifications"?
if I select "allow mods" when I try to flash TIMA.prop file I get an error about mount\data
is it necesary to format data before?
thanks

Actually the TIMA prop zip doesnt even need data. Not sure why I made it try to mount, but any error about mounting can probably be ignored. It modifies /system so you should swipe to allow.

First of all, thanks for your reply and for your small guide
What I did was flash lastest full stock official rom from sammobile with odin and let it reboot to the initial setup screen
Reboot to download mode and then I flashed TWRP also with odin and reboot manually to recovery
When first time entered into recovery just selected "allow modifications"
After I flashed the TIMA prop zip and verity disable zip modified version
In both cases, I received error messages about mount/data on the screen but the installation seems to be complete
Finally format/data, reboot and complete the wizard and the installation
The last step, reboot again into recovery and flash magisk v14
At the end of this procedure, all seems ok, magisk is running, safetynet test is OK, superuser is OK and root apps with no problem
Also a couple of mods flashed with recovery (zero camera mod and sound mod by zubi) gave me error messages about format/data but both of them were done
So, the question is how can I check now if my phone encryption is OK and working ??
The only thing seems not work is the OTA firmware updates, it doesnt work, error message about modified phone
I tried to hide root with magisk for the apps in relation with the ota updates but no work for me
Is there any solution for that??
Thanks for all and very appreciated for your help
And sorry for my english hehe

If the recovery is giving errors about /data mount then the phone is encrypted. TWRP simply cannot work with Samsung encryption at all at the moment. Also: If there is no "Encrypt" option for the internal storage in the Security section of the settings app, then the device is encrypted(There may still be one for the external SD). There's no way I know of to fool OTA into working, I've always just fully flashed the latest firmware. Samsung firmware is really easy to get so I've never really looked into using OTAs to update. They'd probably fail horribly anyway due to the modified system in which case the OTA tool is probably correct to block the update. (Newer Android standard requires updates to be done via raw block writes so dm-verity remains intact. Could lead to corruption if done wrong...)

OK so it seems my phone is finally encrypted and rooted!!!
anyway, I forgot about OTAs and I´ll continue installing updates manually,
so can I flash the full firmware with HOME_CSC without losing the data?
Only reflash TWRP after the update and flash the TIMA prop zip ???
Thank you very much for your help!!!

Whoops. Didn't see those were questions. Yes, full flash with HOME_CSC will keep data intact. The TIMA prop will need to be in state "0" to decrypt, so yes again, reflash TWRP and the TIMA and verity zips and you should be good. Just make sure to have "Auto Reboot" checked in Odin. It will do some stuff in stock recovery first (including a screen with "Erasing..." Don't worry! It's just cleaning up the working files in /cache ).

Hello Guys
Do you think it would work also on Note8 ?
Im stuck on step when i flash 2 files via TWRP, it shows erros with cant mount Data because it is already encrypted somehow, it wouldnt be issue as you said as it does to system.
But when i finish the installation of the Firmware and came back to TWRP for flashing Root solution it is encrypted and cantbe flashed.
Any idea?

That sounds about right actually. The data is supposed to be already encrypted by the time you flash root. TWRP on the S7 and it appears any recent Samsung device cannot decrypt the stock ROMs encryption. The root solution should revert to using the cache workaround. Both Magisk and SuperSU support this setup. Just flash and ignore the /data mount errors.
Recently I just downgraded my Mi Mix 2s to MIUI V9.6.4.0.ODGMIFD via Miflash and planning to stay on this (global) rom. However, after flashing the latest twrp from the official link (v3.1.1-1) it did not ask for the lockscreen password upon entering the interface and my files just showed up with random filenames.
After some reading, I suppose my device is encrypted and twrp did not let me to decrypt it (without asking for lockscreen password). The random filenames still happens even I remove the lockscreen password before flashing twrp meaning the device is still encrypted. Before I could do anything else (flashing zip files, making backups, etc) I must format data to remove the encryption, but twrp will disappear after I booted into system and did the initial phone configuration. Tried different versions (from 3.2.3-0 to 3.3.1-1) but to no avail. The only way I can retain twrp after booting into system is to flash Magisk zip right after formatting data, but if I enter twrp again the filenames are still in random characters as before and I couldn't do anything in it.
So my question is how can I properly install twrp into my device without having the encryption issues? Could it be the rom that caused the problem or did I missed out any steps that fails to disable the encryption? Thanks for your attention.

Guess I've found a workaround for this by installing the OrangeFox recovery project (ofrp). For those who stuck at the same issue as mine this is what I did:
1. Flash twrp img through adb fastboot.
2. Format data to remove encryption.
3. Paste ofrp zip file into the device and flash it via twrp, which boots the phone into ofrp interface.
4. Paste the recovery zip file into the device and flash it via ofrp. Under setting - MIUI OTA it should show 'enabled' (for android 9 and above might need to uncheck disable dm-verity first according to ofrp page, but my rom is at android 8 so I left it checked as default before flashing).
5. Reboot to system and complete the initial configuration.
6. Reboot to recovery again and ofrp should remain installed. From there I was then able to perform a backup.
Btw, under phone settings it says my device is still encrypted although I can access to ofrp without having the encryption issue as in twrp (random filenames, cannot transfer files or create backups, etc). Anyhow I now have a working custom recovery on the stock rom, cheers.
To put it simple, I would need some guidance for restoring the very factory / unmodified partition layout for my Nexus 5 (32GB) model. It is not bricked. I can flash Android 10 ROMs with newest gapps and they all work. Earlier I installed crDroid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-crdroid-v5-4-t3931587
To make it work, I modified partitions beforehand: https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...ment/repartition-nexus-5-repartition-t3844395
But I decided to flash the original software on it. It can be successfully flashed, but it is in bootloop. I guess because of the non standard partition layout.
Thanks for the help.
@HUN_Gyuszi,
U can restore original partition table with the same script u used to modify them. Here are the steps:
1. Boot into UA TWRP
2. Flash the hh_clamor_repartition.zip from the thread you have mentioned
3. Open Terminal in TWRP (TWRP -> Advanced - Terminal)
4. Type stock and wait until your phone reboots.
5. Install original TWRP 3.3.1-0 from https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/ via fastboot
6. Boot into original TWRP
7. Wipe all partitions and format data
8. Reboot from TWRP to TWRP
9. Make a factory reset. The process described here https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
I highly suggest u to make a backup of persist partition before doing these steps. You can read how to do it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77661978&postcount=2
PS: After reverting back to original partition table all your data will be lost! So backup everything u need before reverting to stock partition table.
Much respect and thanks for the prompt reply, all worked.

Hello.
I have a problem: after downgrading my device from Magisk 24.1 back to Magisk 23 I can't unlock my device.
I can only see my wallpaper, but it doesn't respond to touch actions and may reboot.
When I reflash patched boot magisk file it is all the same thing.
Reflashing original boot makes only bootloop or message that data is incompatible.
It is Android 10, AP data file: 'AP_A515FXXU3BTF4_CL18770262_QB31913704_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS10'
The question is: how can I pull my /data and /sdcard from my phone?
The recovery is stock version, I've tried to flash TWRP, but TWRP sees only gibberish encrypted file names.
I made a copy of /data/unencrypted folder seems to be containing decryption keys. and entire sda32 containing data partition.
Please help me with ways to restore the system without data wipe or ways how to backup data before reinstalling firmware.
You could try to recover you data with Samsung Smart Switch, when IT doesn't work, there is a way top recover Data from a Phone with ADB tools and a PC.
