Guide: How to decrypt data in TWRP for Le Pro 3 AI

As you all know we have been searching for ways to root the Le Pro 3AI but failed. There are even 2 twrp but you can't really do much with them. TWRP 3.1 did not even start for me but 3.0.3 worked but what's the real problem? You can't mount /data and also i found another partition named /custom. It always fails to mount and there is no way to format it.
When you enter TWRP it ask for a password to decrypt. Simply click cancel and go to wipe, advanced wipe and check the data partition. Select repair file system and change it to ext2 and then back to ext4. Reboot to twrp again I don't think this is necessary but better take precautions. Now go to mount and select data you will see that you can actually mount it(~24000mb) .
You can also enable MTP to copy files to your phone in recovery such as .zips. I hope this helps you in way. I hope the devs find a way to make it possible to flash custom ROMs for this phone without any message appearing during boot and that there is no problem with imei. Thanks for reading and don't give up with this phone else it will be money down the drain. If I helped press the thanks button.

how did you install the TWRP?
im a noob in this

okay! so after attempting to install TWRP my phone bricked haha
i had to flash again the rom. geez!
i better not attempt again.

twrp isn't really a problem. it works for the most part, just cant be perma flashed, only booted. you can still flash zips via sideload as it is though, so that was never a *huge issue*. thing is, modifying system partition on official builds (25, 28) will cause security lockup. kernel needs to be patched, and prolly bootloader for this to be bypassed, and it seems its not easy. consequently root will fail too. on 27 though, you can easily boot twrp and flash a custom zip (except root), so there is nothing preventing you from removing bloat. even xposed works. you can even flash 27 kernel on both 25/28 and clean them too using same flashable zips. as far as custom rom goes, yeah, no, mtk device. prolly not gonna happen. be happy if you get root eventually.

I could flash only 3.0.3 . 3.1 never worked for me. Can't even boot.

i never said it could be flashed. it could be booted into. there are plenty of guides around how to boot recovery using fastboot (google fastboot boot recovery.img). once there, you can simply use adb sideload, or integrated file manager to clean system apps and reboot back into os. if you are using 25/28 u'll need to play a bit more to get everything up and running (imei issues), on 27S (multilanguage rom) this is pretty straightforward and no fixing is required

It says that I need to mount system first at the recovery.

Gapps installation problem - LineageOS 16 + Oneplus 7 Pro

I'm trying to install the OpenGapps package for LineageOS 16 on my new Oneplus 7 Pro, but have a problem installing it.
First I tried the "open_gapps-arm64-9.0-micro-20190827.zip" package, but it told me its the wrong platform. Is it not arm64?
Second I tried to install the "open_gapps-arm-9.0-micro-20190827.zip", but gives me an error 70, saying I do not have enough space.
Maybe someone have a solution for this?
Thanks

Try MindtheGapps. I've seen this work for some.

Tried it. Still does not work.
I got it semi, but still not working. Seems like the problem is within the way the partitions getting handled. My old Oneplus 5t had a boot, recovery, system partitions. The new one includes the recovery inside the boot it seems instead.
Here's how far I am now:
1) Unlocked the phone
2) Installed TWRP
3) Install Lineage ( This overwrites the TWRP so you have to install it again )
4) Reboot straight from TWRP after flashing the Lineage... back into the Bootloader/Fastboot mode and install the TWRP again.
5) Boot back into TWRP recovery and now I'm able to install OpenGapps ARM64 version.
But after this I cant boot the OS anymore...

Still no luck. Tried many things now... but here's what happens:
1) Installing the TWRP
2) Format data partition and everything else
3) Reboot back into TWRP
4) Install Lineage ( At this point I'm able to boot into Lineage just fine )
5) Trying to install Open GApps at this point gives me:
Code:
# Begin Open GApps Install Log

# End Open GApps Install Log
INSTALLATION FAILURE: This Open GApps package cannot be installed on this
device's architecture. Please download the correct version for your device.
# Begin User's gapps-config
# End User's gapps-config
It says I need to install the ARM instead of ARM64...
But if I go back into the bootloader and flash the twrp and boot back into the recovery, I'm able to install Open GApps ARM64 just fine. Seems like a weird "device's architecture" detection problem in the Open Gapps or maybe it could be the TWRP... not sure...
Also after this it will no longer boot.
Kinda weird problem....

Don't wipe system afaik vendor LOS generates it's own, Also might be in the wrong slot make sure the slot changed when rebooting back to recovery to install gapps, I used MindTheGapps latest version from OP worked great.

Have not wiped the System and Vendor partition after I installed Lineage... It boots just fine... just not if I install Open GApps....
Tried MindTheGapps latest version, but still no luck.

Okay got it working. The problem was the A/B partition layout they have in this phone... Was not aware of this.
This article describes it pretty well: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-19/
So yeah this is what I did:
1) Boot into Bootloader/Fastboot mode
2) Flash the boot partition with fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-52-guacamole-unified.img
3) Restart into TWRP - Format the data partition and clean the system partition etc.
3) Restart into recovery TWRP once more to get the data partition ready
4) Now you can transfer the lineage-16.0-20190827-nightly-guacamole-signed.zip over to memory.
5) Now flash the zip file and let it complete. This will overwrite the boot partition with TWRP and replace it with Lineage's own boot/recovery image.
6) Now reboot into Lineage's recovery. Now select Apply update > Apply from ADB and send the "MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip" file to the phone with "adb sideload MindTheGapps-9.0.0-arm64-20190615_031441.zip" - You might have to confirm the zip file....
After this is done, the phone should be ready for use.

I am facing the same A/B slot problem with my Moto Z2.
After setp 5), did you let the lineage OS fist then reboot into recovery, or did you go straight to the lineage recovery?

Thank you so much for this. I finally fot it sorted. I did find that sometimes you have to ubplug the USB cable and plug it in again to be recognised, but I got it going. Goodby Google!!!!
I am using Gentoo Linux with adb to do this.

[Samsung S8+] Unable to bypass FRP

I would like to install TWRP and after that Lineage OS on my Samsung S8+ (Exynos). So i tried flashing TWRP with Odin (Dream2lte version 3.3.1.0). But i ran into a FRP lock so i googled and try to solve this, but so far i am unable to.
I have the password to my Google account, so i removed the Google account from the phone and removed the phone from my Google account. After factory reset i am still getting an error FRP lock when flashing.
Shouldn't the FRP lock be gone after removing google account and doing a factory reset? I have tried a couple of YT Howto's but they don't seem to work.
How do i remove the FRP lock so that i am able to install TWRP and Lineage OS?
Like i said i know the password to my Google account and i 100% own the phone
(Bypass probably isn't the correct word, i am simply trying to turn it off )

Got exactly the same problem, hence like you, ended up here for help.

Well i fixed my problem (Disable USB debug and OEM unlock, couple of reboots and enabled them and it worked). But after that i broke my phone
I am stuck at the screen saying: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
I know this is meant to scare me (is kinda working...), but i also know that Odin is still working. So as far as i know i have to flash the original firmware now to fix this. But i keep getting the error: Invalid magic string. When i try to also flash a BL file i get the error: ""Secure CHECK FAIL: (BOOTLOADER)" The option Re-Partition in Odin is switched OFF, as far as i know this is okee... right?
I have tried 3 different versions (Android 9/8/7):
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s8/firmware/SM-G950F/TNL/download/G950FXXU1AQC9/128974/
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s8/firmware/SM-G950F/TNL/download/G950FXXU4DSBA/259612/
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s8/firmware/SM-G950F/TNL/download/G950FXXS4CSA4/256485/
This zip files contain a BL/AP/CP/CSC file, i have tried them all at the same time in Odin as well as the AP and BL files seperate. (from one zip file, NOT different version files together of course)
I tried using Smart Switch 4.1 to do the emergency procedure using model nummer SM-G955F with my serial number but before it does anything it tells me this is not possible with an SM-G955F.
They all give me the same result.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Secure check fail on bootloader is your flashing a older firmware than on the device. Look at the builds 5th from last digit. You need to flash that equal or greater than.
The error screen you see for emergency recovery is ok. It's like a modified version of download mode. Kind of. You can still flash Odin files from said screen. Ii see you've flashed a bit 1. And two bit 4 firmwares. So you must be on a 5 or greater. I don't know the exy bit number but like snapdragon is at or near 7 or 8. I can explain better if you need. But not an exynos expert

Thanks for your reply! I am in the normal "Downloading...." screen is there anywhere i can check which number i am at?
But i have just tried this one: G950FXXS7DTA6_G950FOXM7DTA6_PHN and it is not working. But this is the newest one available on sammobile. Still the same bootloader error.
I have tried TWRP 3.3.1.0 and that worked, now i am in the TWRP menu but i don't have the LineageOS 17 + GoApps copied to the root. So i cannot install LineageOS now. What do i do now? My computer sees a SM-G955F but it is not showing any storage, if i can fix this i could copy the LineageOS files to the root...right?

1. If you are on an S8+ flashing firmware for the S8 will cause you issues. Download firmware for the S8+ only. ie: 955f not 950f.
2. If you can't get into the system but can get into download mode there should be a line saying
AP SWREV: B:? K:? S:?
The B:? Is your bootloader version number. You will need to flash the same or higher.
3. How did you install TWRP?
If you don't have an SD card to store files on then after the Format Data stage you can then copy files from pc to phones internal storage.

I am a bit embarrassed, it looks like i have been trying to flash the wrong ROMs last night 950 instead of 955, i am downloading the correct files now and wil try again. Sorry for this dumb mistake!
Just to be sure, i am trying to do this:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-samsung-galaxy-s8/
(I do know that this site says S8, but i picked the right files this time and thought the process would be the same)
But i first Flash TWRP with Odin, otherwise i cannot reach the TWRP recovery menu right?
But when i look bullet 5 (not number 5) it looks like i need to flash TWRP from within the TWRP menu. But that is not correct right?
I have placed these zip files on the phone:
lineage-17.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip
open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200303.zip
As a zip and unpacked, but when i am in the TWRP menu and i go to install, i cannot find the zip files. I placed them in the highest folder level possible. Why can't i find them now?

I don't use custom roms yet.
Try searching for you device S8+ for installation instructions. Had a quick look the firmware is for S8 only not S8+. Need dream2lit for S8+
Try in separate stages instead of all at once.
I would sort out your stock firmware first get it up and running.
Then install TWRP. Install for S8+ from
http://twrp.me/Devices/Samsung/
They are many guides for this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...pment/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3595102
If you need rmm bypass zip
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
Get that up and running properly.
Then you can install custom roms,root etc.
In regards to transferring files to phone they need to be a zip file ( .zip ) or an image ( .img ) files to flash in TWRP.
Maybe select internal storage then from menu select sdcard folder check if file is there.

I am using dream2lit.
I have the correct factory stock ROM (now), so i can always go back now. But i agree, my preparation wasn't good enough.
I will look at the links, but for now like i said my problem is that i cannot see my files in TWRP. But maybe that will be addressed in one of your links
With regards to your first link, i used the "Odin Method" so as far as i can tell i did this the right way(https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys8plus.html):
Odin Install Method (No Root Required):
You will need to download and install Odin on your PC. Once you have Odin installed, download the proper .tar file for your device from the download link above. Power off your device. Turn on your device using the proper key combo to get into download mode and attach the device to your computer via a USB cable. Use the PDA tab or button to browse to and select the tar file that you downloaded and flash the device.
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

Note: Samsung don't have fastboot commands. Have to use button configurations to enter recovery or download modes.
What stage are you at?
It will give me a better idea to be able to help more.

Well i installed Lineage OS 17.1 and Open Apps (lineage-17.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-dream2lte and open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200303) with an OTG plug and an USB stick. After installing i removed the USB Stick. But now i am having a new problem...
When the phone boots it asks: "To start Android, enter your password"
Which password is this? When i enter a password i often use it works but then:
"Decryption unsuccessful
The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. (Which is no problem)
To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google account.
(Button) Erase ALL DATA"
Of course i erase the data. Look at the attachment to see what happens then.
I will not give up, will get Lineage OS on this phone, and after that on my Tablet S2 and maybe even on my primairy phone (S10+)
What should i do now? Many thanks for all the help so far, and for help finishing this proces

Mounting data errors in twrp generally ( but not always ) means your device is encrypted/re-encrypted when booting into system. Twrp has issues with encrypted devices.
What version twrp are you using?
Have you flashed the no-verity-opt-encypt zip in twrp. This zip file will prevent device from re-encrypting when booting phone back into the system ( after the Format Data stage / reboot back into twrp)
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
What is your process of installing twrp?
If you have any passwords etc. installed delete them until after setting up you phone.

I am using version twrp-3.3.1-1-dream2lte and no i have not flashed that no-verity-opt-encypt zip. I assume i should flash this one the same way flash the Lineage ROM right?
No passwords used on the phone.
My process:
i put the phone in download mode (POWER+BIXBY+VOL DOWN)
I use ODIN to flash twrp-3.3.1-1-dream2lte, and when the phone reboot i press POWER+BIXBY+VOL UP to enter TWRP menu,
Then i go to WIPE and Advanced Wipe and i select the data, system and davlik cache. Then swipe to wipe it.
Then i go to INSTALL and flash lineage-17.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-dream2lte and open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200303

To install TWRP
1. Flash twrp with odin - reboot straight into twrp
2. In wipe menu select Format Data ( bottom right )
Type yes to format
3. Reboot back into twrp ( use twrp menu )
4. Flash no-verity-opt zip and if needed rmm bypass zip ( using install button in twrp ).
5. Reboot back into twrp then reboot to system using twrp menu.
6. From system reboot back into twrp.
To check if device is un-encrypted use backup menu - check data storage size ( If reading 0mb then device is still encrypted ).
Note: If all ok I would do a complete twrp backup at this stage ( keep backup on a separate storage device ).
Then you can install custom Rom's as per the installation guide of that Rom.

In twrp main menu
Select backup menu - select ( all ) partitions - select storage location ( bottom left of screen ) - then swipe to backup.
Note:
1. If backing up to internal storage copy/move backup to an external storage ie: PC, sd card.etc.
2. Since you want a custom rom backup of the EFS partition is important.
Rmm state can be found in download mode. It will have a line ( near the top ) saying RMM state. It will either say prenormal or normal /disappeared.
It won't hurt to flash it just in case.

I am really trying to do what you are saying...but when i try to "Format Data" (Step 2) it shows an error "Failed to mount '/preload' (Invalid argument). When i try to install no-verity-opt zip (step 4) at the end it shows the same error "Failed to mount '/preload' (Invalid argument). Which is probably because format data failed?
I am installing the zip from an USB stick with an USB-C to USB-A Converter. I don't think that could be the problem?
As Expected the "Data (excl. storage) is still showing 0MB.

Failed to mount preload seems to affect some users.
You could try after the format data and reboot back into twrp ( using twrp 3.3.1.1 ):
Select wipe menu
Select advanced wipe
Select Preload
Swipe to wipe
Reboot back into twrp
Then try flashing no-verity/rmm zips files - reboot back into twrp.
Normally, for me , after this stage If i still get 0mb I will reboot into the Android system and then back into twrp. Then check in backup menu storage. If ok then try to flash custom rom.

Yes Yes!! After doing the Preload i am able to flash no-verity/rmm zips file.
But Data is still showing 0MB.....
I thought why not give the lineage OS rom flashing another try. That worked, but now the phone seems to hang on a Lineage OS logo with a small circle moving around not straight line.
So i wiped everything again and flashed no-verity/rmm zip file, and will wait what for some advice and what do to next.

Have you tried to reboot into system through twrp ie: reboot menu - system. Let it start normally, reboot into twrp, then check storage size. ( This is after the flashing of the no-verity/rmm zip and rebooting back into twrp ).
As I said I' m not familiar with custom ROMs. I do know that some custom ROMs do take some time to boot up on installation.
But out of curiosity I have a spare S8 and will give it a go.

I am not responsible for any wrongdoing by you. Always have ROM stock files. Any error, install stock recovery again.
First you need to unlock the bootloader if necessary! Unzip file attached and look 2 files.
Then, the installation plan:
0) Flash the TWRP with SPFT or fastboot;
1) Enter TWRP IMMEDIATELY without starting in the system, otherwise TWRP can revert to the stock;
2) When asked to enter the password, select Cancel;
3) Load the file with Magisk (look for any magisk19.zip for TWRP and the decryption file for EXTERNAL memory;
4) Flash Magisk immediately and then install the file data_decrypt_Mobiistar_C1_Shine.zip immediately;
5) Make FORMAT DATA - bottom left button - Type: YES. Go back to the TWRP menu;
6) Make Wipe: data, cache, dalvik (reset to factory settings! Save your data!);
7) Reboot to TWRP (password must not ask);
8) Restart on the system, root is received.

thanks bro for making recovery.img when installing magisk 19.zip its giving error on last step failed to mount /vendor/persist (invalid argument). done
after that i tried to install your data decrypt .zip after one reboot to recovery because i have tried before without reboot recovery once so this time rebooted and installed your data.zip file and again on the last step same error as magisk failed to mount /vendor/persist (invalid argument). done
after that i tried to format by typing yes but again same error failed to mount /vendor/persist (invalid argument).done
just to inform you i have formatted phone from inside by turning it on factory reset but nothing happened....and internal space is not mounting i some how managed to install these things via OTG USB but same error again and again. i am attaching screenshot also which i captured from other phone of mine.
kindly help asap

This is Ok. I made TWRP fast and not remember if the stock partitions has \vendor\persist. So if has that's message is normal. Therefore messages about \vendor\nvdata;nvram;nvcfg is normal too. Very pacth zip files can delete that and the device cannot have IMEI.
First: Is good know the file TWRP worked;
- - You can't install any zip without FORMAT DATA first because FORMAT DATA process can view internal storage. If you don't FORMAT DATA maybe the zip file going wrong with MicroSD & OTG.
In this moment you understand: not use external storage! Put zip in the internal storage an try again.
About MTP: Has anything wrong wiht A8.1 & TWRP. Most devices with A8.1 and TWRP do not have access to MTP. I don't know what happens because I don't know why TeamWin was unable to resolve this.
Now you need put zip with adb command (search how to do) or use sileload on the TWRP.
PS: the picture attached by you show about decrypt. In the first moment you need acept modifications and password you press CANCEL.

The first start need choose the CANCEL. I think you not know about TWRP (unofficial) and the process with device/TWRP without encryption/decryption process.
If you want that so send me some device to develop/have the possibility of getting that option.

As you read, I not have your device in my hands!
Many 32bits and few 64bits devices have problem with touch screen from kernel. That's not my error! It's from device company.
I not know about touch screen work or not since copvaibhav not write about. But I won't fix this. There is also the possibility to use OTG and plug in a USB Mouse to use in TWRP.
There are solutions to fix the touch screen but I don't have the device and I don't have time to do it. Search and you will know. So solve it yourself and thank your self for it.
Ask copvaibhav for more process and using TWRP.

Question TWRP 3.6 not decrypting filesystem; failed update and phone not booting

I've been running ArrowOS - Arrow-v12.0-vayu-OFFICIAL-20211108-VANILLA - and pleased with it's stability, but decided it was time to update to the Arrow-v12.0-vayu-OFFICIAL-20211221-VANILLA version.
Recovery was TWRP-3.5.2-vayu-Nebrassy-2 so I used the TWRP app to update that to the official TWRP-3.6.0.
My phone is encrypted and without a password. TWRP-3.6.0 couldn't mount partitions or view files.
Data partition etc show 0 bytes' and adb sideload failed to connect - may have been an unreliable cable - so I added a 4-digit pin which worked in the system and rebooted to recovery. TWRP didn't ask for a password and showed the same encrypted and invisible partitions. Trying the 'Decrypt Data' option in TWRP 'Mount' menu, I got the errors 'Failed to decrypt data' 'Password failed'.
I tried using adb shell to decrypt:
vayu:/ # twrp decrypt 1234
Attempting to decrypt data partition or user data via command line.
Failed to decrypt data.

Any custom recovery at the moment cannot decrypt Android 12.
Try USB OTG or microSD card to flash in custom recovery.

Oic thanks!
Sounds like an easy fix. Before I do that, am I going to lose data, settings etc by flashing the update when the recovery can't access all the filesystem?

Not sure if your previous actions messed up your data partition or not, so not sure if you will loose your data or not.
Recoveries cannot decrypt data partition, but the system file writing ability should be working.
If you still have the zip file of the old version 20211108, you can flash it and see if the system will boot and read your data correctly.
If it boots and your phone is like before update attempt, then you can try flash the update zip.
If it did not boot into the OS, chances are some of your earlier actions messed up data partition. In this case, format data is the way, which will loose your data.
If format data still doesn't help, you might need to go back to MIUI and start again.

That was a good suggestion. I reinstalled the Arrow-v12.0-vayu-OFFICIAL-20211108-VANILLA rom and the phone rebooted.
Only glitch is constant notifications that Google Play Services keeps stopping, and various other apps notifications to 'Get Google Play Services'.
I presume that Play Services may have been rolled back by the reinstallation, and I'm wondering whether to try to find a more recent copy to install and see if that fixes it, or just go directly to the Arrow-v12.0-vayu-OFFICIAL-20211221-VANILLA rom.

Did you install GApps manually?
If you did not, but your system has Google Play Services, then you probably had installed GApps version of ArrowOS instead of Vanilla version.
Switching between Vanilla and GApps is probably not working well if you did not format data. Maybe from Vanilla to GApps version is possible, but from GApps version to Vanilla may cause some issues.
Make sure which version you had, GApps or Vanilla.
If you are not very sure, then backup all your personal data and apps and do a clean flash with format data.
