I'm on a Pixel 2 and I sideloaded the February 2018 security update. I tried to install Magisk again by using "fastboot boot twrp-image.img". I've tried all the versions of TWRP available on their site (twrp.me)
I get into TWRP and enter in my pin to decrypt the phone, which I've always used. TWRP says incorrect password. This is the first time I've ever gotten this.
Anybody else having the same issue, or tips to fix? Thanks!
Yes, it's been mentioned a few times. Simply remove the password lock from your phone before booting into recovery, then add your password back after you're done flashing.

Thank you for this. I did quite a bit of searching last night and this morning but couldn't find anything on it. This makes sense and I'll give a try when I get home.

I removed the pin and when I went to fastboot boot twrp.img, it went right through without prompting for a password in TWRP.
You may need to reboot first, after the pin removal

Blech, re-signing in to every app with a fingerprint and resetting up fingerprints sounds like a drag

Hi
why don't you use the forgot pin option
enter wrong pin for around 10-15 times and you will see the option 'forgot pin'
then login with your Gmail account and your phone will be unlocked.
good luck
and hit thanks

Exactly, that is must when FP is set up. If you forgot the password, then no help.

No.
It's not even possible to "forget" to set a separate password since it's a must if you setup fingerprint unlocking.
It's NECESSARY.
Otherwise you can't choose unlocking with fingerprint method. (Tried it by myself to be sure)

I mean, if he forgot that password, then he is in trouble. I said that the setup of that password is a must

How is that possible? You need to enter it twice to confirm.
On the other hand, this is a reason for security lock - if it can be bypassed easily, then what's the point of it?
You can still root, play around with the system
What about doing a factory reset?
Boot into download mode, Odin TWRP.
Boot into TWRP, only wipe system.
Reboot, wait 10-15 minutes, redo the setup.

The last time I checked the settings and fingerprints are located on /data, not system. But give it a try.

Whoops, forgot about /data. Perhaps he should flash Philz after TWRP, and then wipe /system and /data after making a nandroid.
Thanks to @cameljockey1, and the solution is located #4 post.
Hi,
Newbie to Android 7+ and Magisk, I'm sorry if it is an common thing but I still didn't get any clue after some search.
I found that after installing Magisk, I'm prompted to do the pattern unlock everytime when it reboots before Android booting is ready.
I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of the thing and keep my phone encrypted.
Thank you.

My phone is not rooted and each time I reboot I need to do the pattern unlock. It's due to encryption not to root.
I don't think you can get rid of this.

You sure you get Android 7 from U11+ ?
Setting- security and location- screen lock and change your pattern and it will ask if you want to have it for device reboot. Click no.

ok let me make it clear. I mean it is the first android 7+ device for me, since I had <= android 6 devices before. so compares to that fact, I wrote it is my first Android 7+.

Thank you, I thought turning on that option was about to keep locked after rebooting, which I was wrong.

hey guys, i got a issue about TWRP. I'm using android 7.1.1 NOF27B, and i want use custom TWRP. so i download firmware from google, flash-all. then reboot to system, copy twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.2.2-0.zip to internal storage, then reboot to bootloader, using fastboot boot twrp-3.2.2-0-sailfish.img first to enter temporary twrp, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.2.2-0.zip. the question is when i reboot to bootloader and enter to recovery, it does not show the password i need to enter, so i can not decrypt the data. i just want to have custom ESP backup to use different CDMA CHANNEL in CHINA. does anybody help me?
I ran into this issue as well, a workaround i found if you can get into your phone, is to shut off the pin or password in Security,then it should let you. Im not sure what the permanent fix is for this, but thats what I got to do on mine.

i will try if it helps. One more thing if I use temporarily TWRP by fastboot then no issues at all.it will ask to enter password, then perfect. But if renter same issues come out. So sad
So i restored my phone. Via MSM. Updated. To lastest 11.0.9.9 international.
Unlock bootloader. Installed twrp. Restored data only, clear cache l. And phone will only boot to blank screen. I can access adb so is booted, but won't show lock screen or anything. Get power menu when i hold the power button. Can reboot to recovery fine. Any ideas what's going on?
Oh and trying to boot the other partition b gets me to Qualcomm dump. Just get back yo recovery and switch back to a and back to black screen.

Did you follow the instructions in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...covery-project-8t-kebab.4302449/post-85292199 ?
In particular, had you removed password before you took the backup?

Ok.. I'm on 6 at this point. Think I'll just give up and start from scratch. Think maybe i did forgot to remove the pin before backing up. But it seems like it's accessing files. Has my custom bootscreen.

Yeah unfortunate it keeps getting harder to get want we want from our devices.
I agree. Seamless updates is great ... provided you never change things.
Appreciate your help Bill. I've found several of you other post to be helpful as well.
