Encrypted device after Oreo update. - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

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?

Okay thank you!

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

Root? Kingroot?

What's going on with kingroot for Xperia z3 lolipop 5.1.1? There is a date for available kingroot for this version?
No there isn't. Kingroot only supports 5.0 not 5.1 You could always flash 5.0.2, root with kingroot then flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1

Did you flash a stock 5.0.2, then root with kingroot, install the latest dual recovery from PC, boot to recovery, do a complete wipe then flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1 from recovery. It should work. I tried it here, worked perfectly.
BTW make sure you put the pre-rooted 5.1.1 on your sdcard before you start so once you go into recovery to do a full wipe you don't reboot until you flash the pre-rooted 5.1..1

I don't install pre-rooted 5.1.1 because it needs to Recovery .. and I don't want to do a recovery in my device .... i just Burning a normal version of 5.1.1

Then just delete the recovery after you have flashed the pre rooted 5.1.1. The ramdisks are in the system partition.

It should not do that if you do it properly. You only lose stuff in your phone if you unlock the bootloader and you do not need to do that. Also, making a backup of things you want to keep is always a good idea.

No you will not lose warranty if you follow the locked bootloader tutorial. You do not need to unlock the bootloader to install recovery and flash a pre-rooted 5.1.1
Please take a moment to look through any of the multiple guides in the general section to see how to do this

Kingroot will send your IMEI to an IP address in china, I do not recommend it. Downgrade and use giefroot, install dual recovery, flash a pre rooted 5.1.1, then delete the recovery if you want, but I do not see why you would do this.

You are confusing recovery with losing drm keys when unlocking the bootloader.
I have never come across anyone who has recovery installed correctly and used correctly who has had problems like that
@DANIELTZ19
If you're worried and want another opinion then my advice is that everything GregBradley has stated is correct. His method is also the safest and reliable with an excellent tutorial in the General forum. Read it http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056

After searching, i have not found anything.
Is it possible to root Nougat without TWRP? Or we will have to wait?
Is TWRP Nougat compatible?

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.

[BACKUP-IMAGE] [XT1572 EU] Moto X Style Android 7.0 Nougat Build NPH25.200-15 (EU)

Hi guys,
I bought the "new" Moto X Style last week for 250€(new, white, 32gb) and updated it to the highest Android 6.0 version from Motorola. After that, i flash the OTA-file from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/ota-moto-x-style-android-7-0-nougat-t3630248
After that, i unlock the bootloader, flash TRWP, clean the data and create a System backup:
https://xda.bioharz.xyz/2017-07-15--06-20-47_NPH25.200-15.7z
This is unmodified! and unrootedI actually have no time to create a System image, but this should also work for you.
I hope this can help you.
Thanks,

Probably failing SafetyNet API check but what is the error?
Nougat will fail if the bootloader is unlocked and you don't have the Magisk module to stop SafetyNet. In Nougat an unlocked bootloader is enough to get it to fail even if otherwise 100% stock.
Netflix could also be confused as to your region if you restored the backup in this thread.

Extract the backup zip file. Copy the last folder (containing the boot and system images) to your phone's TWRP Backup folder. Now you will see it in TWRP. Now perform a full backup. Then restore the copied-over nougat backup. Now you can pick on of the following two options.
1. f you have time, you do not need to delete your data before rebooting. You can always uninstall and reinstall any problem apps that show up after rebooting. That is what I did.
2. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can delete your data and then reboot. That would be called a "clean install" and I don't do that very often.
Hope this helps.
@bioharz
Cheers for this. I was contemplating what method might be easiest for upgrading my rooted Moto X Style (EU) from MM 6.01 to Nougat 7.0. Ideally, this would have been a TWRP flashable ZIP, however, you have provided the second best option, which is a TWRP backup.
My method was as follows:
1) Make full TWRP backup of existing MM installation to extSD
2) Backup my Nova settings to extSD
3) Download, unzip and copy your backup to the TWRP location on extSD
4) Boot into TWRP and wipe Dalvik/ART, Cache, System and Data partitions via Advanced Wipe menu
5) Flash System and Boot partitions from your Nougat backup, BUT NOT EFS partition !!!
6) Reboot, log onto previous Google Account and restore all apps.
7) Restore Nova settings
8) Root with SuperSU (systemless) and SuHide
Worked a treat :good:
Are you sure - you need nougat with old radios?
You could reflash stock MM, update to Nougat, root, restore all you want. @Yemble
Will it work on moto x style Indian variant?

I am certain that I do not wish to screw up my phone with someone elses IMEI. Besides, what exactly is wrong with the MM radios? They are working perfectly on my phone.
Actually, given that I am now in a good position to experiment further, I have flashed the Nougat EFS partition on its own to my phone. Thankfully, it did not affect the IMEI or any network connectivity (SIM or WiFi). However, it has not changed the base band version either, so it may, in fact, be identical to the MM EFS anyway!

Take a TWRP backup first, then give it a go. What have you got to lose?
I suggest that you try it without the EFS partition first. If that works, take another TWRP backup and then try flashing EFS on its own.
@coolncoolest @Yemble
Don't flash/restore EFS from another phone - you can lose your IMEI.
India - RetAsia version has the same baseband as RetEu - cid7.
Dual sim probably will not work.

Clearly you are wrong about this (on this particular phone model), as I have already tried it and it proved that it did not break, or change, anything! I am aware that flashing EFS can be dangerous on older Samsung phones, hence my cautious approach that you appeared to be dissing in your previous post
I believe in hard facts, rather then hearsay. I have now upgraded three XT1572 (EU) phones from the posted TWRP image using the method that I outlined previously, together with the later flashing of the EFS partition. All three phones work perfectly and all three pass SafetyNet.
Someone else may be less fortunate than you and there is no reason to flash/restore efs.
Not only Samsung can lost imei in this way - Lenovo(+tablets), other Moto series, all Mtk devices(there is easy way to restore imei).
For Moto I don't know any restoring procedure. Sorry - one - mainboard replacement. @Yemble

How did you root pie?
I have decided to share screenshots
I'm a us user as you can see I have volte working and I got Dolby working .
Make sure you have the latest Oreo bootloader installed this so can down grade to Oreo if I want to.
Do not flash pie modems if you do you will have to flash pie bootloader.
If you have a bootloader example
Xxu3 you need flash ap system and bootloader xxs4.
This not for flashing this build but for flashing pie on Odin
Restore.
Restoring with selected EFS damaged original IMEI.... Without is it ok. Thanks!

How do flash it though? I extracted the .zip file but it doesnt have the files to be flashed through Odin. Also I think I should tell you that my phone or rather knoxs tells's me that my phone is rooted but I've already flashed the non-rooted stock rom years ago because I failed when I tried to root my phone before and I don't know how to fix my mistake and gain root. If its not too much to ask, I would like to ask for your help, I would greatly appreciate it.

The first is stock rom intended for the European continent.
The second is a custom rom based on Chinese firmware with many modifications and latest developments.
Better than stock.

Change version to stock rom(EEA to Global,etc) or install Xiaomi EU rom requires bootloader to be unlocked.
It is better to install the first ROM or the second one. Bootloader is unlocked. And I have a second ROM installed. Should I reinstall it? And I have to format in TWRP? Thanks for the answers.

For a stock rom I always use MIFLASH
Use Miflash:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
DONT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER
EDIT:
With a stock rom and a bootloader unlocking the play will not be certified.
This problem does not exist with XIAOMI EU ROMS.
Important:
What's the version of your phone?Global,EEA,CHINESE?
Global

So,if you use Miflash you can re lock the bootloader.
I like to use TWRP, Magisk so I don't want to lock the bootloader. I need to learn how to do with MiFlash. I was able to install the rom via TWRP. But I had big problems with formatting the data. It seems to be fine now.

You want to be up to date with the latest rom so why did you install an EEA rom when there is a stable global beta in A13.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/cupid/
You have problems with the TWRP and you want to root and use modules, if you are a beginner these are not really things to do, with the root an error and the phone is broken.
Prevention is better than cure.
