question about TWRP - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

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.

Would you be able to port CWM to a Huawei G526-L22?
Specs are similar to this Vitria(Y301-A2).
Tried this .img but can't mount /cache/recovery etc
extendcommand threw up failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache
(no such file or directory)Yet that path/directory is present in file explorer.Any assistance would be much appreciated.
The device has been discounted to AU$99 so a lot of geeks have grabbed them and are looking for mods
As is the norm for android heads ;|}Regards from Down Under

do you have the original recovery backed up
and can you run these commands while its booted in android with adb
cat /proc/partitions (info on partition sizes)
run ls too
and did you just take the image and flash it without modifying it.
Was sent the image by a developer, who has sent a revised version which works.
Thanks for your interest.
good to hear:good:
but did you really flash the recovery without modifying anything and it booted on the 526

Both versions booted OK.

wow if it booted unmodified at all, these devices must be extremely similar minus the screen, hopefully kernel source pops up for one of them, guess the recovery fstabs were different though
edit
the link is gone?
I requested the source code for the vitria a month ago and huawei just released it
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=17935
I had time to play around with it and build it, did not boot though, wanted to clean it up some but yesterday I broke my hand so there might not be updates for a while.
how did you get the unlock password for this device? im on their website but it doesn't list this device....

sorry it took so long to answer but I got the unlock password from huawei by emailing them, I haven't worked on this device solidly in a while.
you might be able to also flash recovery with adb also, if you wanna try it let me know because I unlocked my bootloader before using adb but when I try it works.
remembered to upload cwm advanced 5
also have cwm 6.0.4.7 and advanced 6 but I need to fix a nasty bug with it.
forgot to add if someone were to upload the recovery.img's and a partition layout for the g526 or G740 I can more than likely try to get cwm and cwm advanced running on them.
had to change the vitria recovery to mount by name instead of block number, changed font also.
added source

Yes, it takes a few email exchanges with [email protected], but I got my unlock password in couple of days from them.
Great job, OP, works like a charm.
Finally got my unlock from Huawei after a week, and just in time! I lost my old HTC G2 (its somewhere in the kitchen, i swear!) and needed a replacement phone fast.
Enter the Vitria. installed CWM and did a full backup, then installed titanium backup and started ripping out bloatware and live wallpapers and other crap.
I have to say, i REALLY hope development of Cyanogen continues for this device, its hard enough leaving CM7 to go to jelly bean. If there's anything i can assist with with a backed up/bootloader unlocked device, let me know. Or buy you enough beer to last a weekend so you can get this compiled
Flashify
I did something different, I flashed with flashify but I realize now I shouldn't have, it reboots but has a signature error before rebooting, I sure hope there will be cynogen mod or something because this phone has a data connection problem, once data goes off it won't come back on until restart and sometimes all bars without data goes off too and then have reboot too, good phone but needs work, glad to see someone out there doing something, thanks.
OK, I think I know how to fix, but I don't have the correct IMG to fix since I have already corrupted it by flashing with flashify.
Does anybody have the recovery.img and the boot.img from a working stock for this phone?
by having a good recovery.img, I can flash with flashify and get it back to working correctly, this is what I did to fix a similar problem from flashing CWM to my LG G2 and worked.
Update, downloaded stock ROM and the recovery and boot img where there so I flashed recovery.img with flashify and everything good.
Just wondering, anybody has a recovery of their Vitria that already has CWM working properly on it, I wonder if that recovery.img contains proper CWM to be flashed to another Vitria?
this is not for the h882l, it might work on that one but I don't know.
if you try to flash without having the bootloader unlocked, it won't work, you will get a crc signature failure error every boot even if you use adb or a flashing app, after unlocking you can use adb, not sure about flashify(never tried it).

Yes CRC Signiture Error, but the bootloader is unlocked, I use T-Mobile with phone, but only problems I see with this phone is connecting to Data all the time, I end up having to turn data off then back on then it is usually fine sometimes it has problems still, I did pay a service to get the bootloader unlocked with a code so it is unlocked.
Would like to see a nice ROM built for this phone, I haven't the slightest clue to do so, Cyanogen mod would be fine.
Did try to install CWM but could not do so, is this the touch or regular version of CWM you have listed?
Keep up the good work, thanks.

I also use tmobile on mine and I have data problems too but haven't tried to fix it yet, don't have the time but your bootloader is unlocked right, your not confusing sim unlock with bootloader unlock right, also your using fastboot to install right.
I am not working on cyanogenmod for the vitria though, it needs a device tree and the kernel needs to be updated for it too, on mine I just run with a custom rom based on stock and a custom kernel for overclocking and stuff, thats enough for me.
Maybe sim unlocked, but thought was bootloader unlocked, I paid to get phone unlocked, they sent a code and I am able to use t-mobile sim card on MetroPCS phone, as for bootloader, it is rooted and says unlocked if that is what you mean, I have SuperSu installed, I used Framaroot as suggested.
Yes I can get into fastboot mode.
Hmm, to verify if bootloader is truly unlocked, how would I go about getting to that to verify for certainty?

Nexus 5 won't prompt for decrypt on boot / TWRP fails to decrypt

So I think I am screwed here but was wondering if anyone has run into similar issue. I was running SlimKat and had the data encrypted and I used BootUnlocker to relock the bootloader after I flashed TWRP a few months back. Been working fine for a couple weeks then yesterday I pull my phone out my pocket and it looks like it factory reset prompting to input all my info. So I reboot the phone thinking could be fluke and it doesnt prompt me for decyption password and again boots to setup screen. If you do login you cannot access the internal storage and there is no data connection. So I rebooted into TWRP and it prompts for decryption password only its not working. If I put in wrong password it comes back immediately that it failed. If I try correct password it tries for 30 - 45 seconds then comes back with failed. So tried downloading factory image and flash with fasboot but was complaining about bootloader locked. So I issued fastboot oem unlock and choose yes the screen switches to unlocked but doesnt wipe anything try to flash again and I get FAILED flash write failure. When I reboot to the bootloader it shows as locked again. I think my flash took a crap. Anyone have any ideas?
I bought my N5 used....and guess what, it was encrypted. And i didn't know it.
Well after a series of unfortunate events, LOL, I found this.....it worked for me when I thought my brand new (new to me) N5 was bricked.

since its been possible to encrypt with android, it has cause everyone issues, eventually. with as many people that ive known that have encrypted, every single one of them has had issues, eventually. eventually because it usually doesnt happen right away, but somewhere down the line. i constantly tell people not to encrypt, that they will have an issue later.
sounds like you will be flashing the factory img at some point.

Tried that doesnt work due to the locked boot loader. Issuing fasboot oem unlock doesn't actually unlock it.

Yea, I've been trying to flash a factory img but I can't due to the locked bootloader and issuing fasboot oem unlock won't unlock it.

That's a good point.
I'm afraid that if you cant flash the stock image, and you can't unlock the bootloader to try other methods....you may be at an impass.
You need to either get the stock image back on. Or unlock the bootloader, Then try my link. Not sure what else can be done here.

Oh....and again.....you may have driver issues on the pc, and that's why fastboot isn't seeing the phone. That is the first thing that needs to be corrected.

I mean i put it in fastboot issue fastboot oem unlock it prompts me on the phone to choose yes or no. I choose yes it then immediately goes back to fastboot screen and shows unlocked. However when trying to flash anything it fails and upon rebooting back into fastboot it again shows as locked.

yes fastboot is reading the phone. but issuing fastboot oem unlock doesn't actually unlock it. I tried fastboot boot recovery.img to get into stock recovery to see if it would let me do factory reset however after booting into stock recovery I am unable to get the menu to pop up to allow me to factory reset.

Advice I would really have to disagree with as it is a built in security measure; telling people to avoid using proven security methods is sketchy in itself. I had my Nexus 4 encrypted for the last 4 months and had never had any issues. What issues are you talking about?
Encryption slows the device down... We all know that. Also, if by chance someone forgets their pw (yes... Seen it happen plenty) you lose al your stuff to get back in.
Anyway, to each their own... But I'm not important enough to worry about what's on my phone getting into the wrong hands. ?

Oneplus 3 twrp asking for password to mount data?

I want to try some custom roms on my oneplus 3 but can't do so as twrp is asking for a password to mount my internal storage. I don't know anything about any password because I never set one.
can somebody please help me. this is very irritating

I'm trying to remember how I got past this. Here's a couple tips that might help. If they don't work, then maybe someone who knows better will chime in.
1. Make sure you have the latest version of TWRP installed.
2. Try "default_password" without the quotes.
3. Try changing your settings to add a password and require a password at boot. Reboot the device into system, entering the password. Then reboot into Recovery and try that password.
4. Wait for someone smarter than me. [emoji6]

Try this
Boot into ROM, create a 4 digit pin screen lock, then use flashify to flash recovery, then boot into new recovery and use pin.
Boom, you have decrypted recovery. You can boot back into your rom and change the passcode to "none" and twrp won't ask for a pin.
This is because when twrp initially boots it sees a "default_password" but if you go into twrp and try to type default password it will not work because there isn't a default password it just sees there is one except its unlisted it's kind of a double negative but a way around that is to create a password

TWRP Decryption password after 2/2018 update

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.

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

TWRP + crDroid - Cannot Encrypt Device

Hi,
Long story short - Trying to encrypt my phone so that I can properly use Work Profile with Intune Company portal as my employer requires the phone to be encrypted.
Have flashed twrp-3.6.0_11-0-guacamolev2.img and using latest crDroid. When i press Encrypt, phone freezes and gets stuck in a boot loop. I have to wipe the phone in order for it to boot again. I have founds some posts where it seems that one cannot encrypt the phone with twrp, and some posts and guides where it seems as people have been able to by shorteing the block count in the data partition (i have not tired this - a bit wary since the post was two years old). I have tried to boot the mauronofrio TWRP builds, but after I have sent to boot in fastboot mode, the phone never gets past the "Fastboot Mode" screen.
Any idea, or even better - guides, would be greatly appriciated.
Thank you!

Thank you very much. Don't know how i missed that one.
I have flashed and phone says Encrypted. However, when booting TWRP to flash Magisk, i cannot see any files - nor do i get prompted for a password. Is there a trick to Decrypting?
