So I wanted to try out LOS 16. I made a full TB backup and a Nandroid backup on TWRP. I flashed Open Beta 2 for the firmware and booted. Everything was fine, but OB 2 is not my thing so I went like planned and booted into TWRP to wipe and flash LOS. This was when it went downhill: TWRP no longer prompts me for a password and all my files are encrypted.
Even so I flashed LOS and it boot just fine but all my files are no longer there.
I will try to avoid a full wipe down. It's painful af, and since i got the 6 it's the second or third time that I'm at this point. I don't get it.
At this point all i want is to decrypt my data and restore my nandroid. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

if all you did was temp boot twrp on pie, temp boot twrp can not decrypt data. You have to flash twrp to phone then reboot to twrp. Second, twrp can not restore backups of stock roms. Third, to go back to any oreo rom will require a format data to fix.

I'm pretty sure temp TWRP can decrypt data. I do it all the time. Regarding the restore, I wouldn't know, haven't tried yet but I think it would work, had I been able to decrypt it. Whatever. Full wipe it is.

So your suggestion would be to flash Oreo over Pie, boot (if it managed to boot), setup a new pattern, then TWRP and decrypt from there?
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...vice-tree-kernel-source-for-oneplus-6.833612/ this is how to fix this mess you are in.
or you could reflash beta 2 to access your data right now.

it's because of the encryption used on oneplus6. We can make backups with twrp, it just fails on the restore part.

I can get TWRP backups to work just fine on stock OOS, but I follow a weird process.
1. Store backup on something other than the phone (I got a USB OTG SD card reader/writer - I use a 128GB SD card to hold my stuff)
2. Use a fastboot rom to flash the same rom as the backup was made on. They are in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665
3. After flashing the fastboot rom start up the phone and go through the whole setup process (I don't know why but it doesn't work when I don't do this)
4. Install TWRP. Instructions can be found in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558 don't just boot TWRP, actually install TWRP (it might work if you just boot TWRP, I never tried it so I can't make any claims that it works)
5. Move your backup back to the phone and restore it in TWRP.
I have done this probably 100 times by now and it ALWAYS works. It is just how funky the encryption is on the OP6 that makes us go through hell to do something this simple. Try this.

Heyo!
So.. I recently got the 930F and rooted successful with odin, but my question is now, how do I successfully flash a working TWRP without having all the issues ppl describe below the twrp thread for sgs7?
greetz
after flashing TWRP with odin, enter your new recovery.
Wipe everything, then flash the rest of the files. You won't be able to boot otherwise.
You must in Odin remove the hook at autoreboot.
And then manually switch off the mobile phone with "Home-Vol--Power", then start with "Home-Vol+-Power" and wait until the TWRP screen comes and then let go.

I did the same thing... used CF-Auto-Root to root my S7 and noticed that I didn't have TWRP. So I just downloaded TWRP Manager from the Play Store and used that to flash TWRP to Recovery. It worked perfectly as far as I can tell, no need to wipe anything.

The full wipe will disable data & sd encryption, so you will not face any problem while flashing roms & kernals, or creating twrp backup.

I don't know if I'm too late, but this is what I did and it was the easiest way to get TWRP.
Go to the Play Store and download 'TWRP Manager App', when on there hit 'Install TWRP', look for the SG7 type for TWRP and choose the latest datedTWRP (People tend to get Recovery is not seandroid enforcing error because they use an out-of-date recovery image).
It will say there was an error flashing recovery and give the option to Reboot or Reboot Later, but it actually has managed to get TWRP onto your phone so just reboot there and then.
Boom you have TWRP; remember the first thing to do is Format Data.
Good Luck

Format Data after TWRP Installation because our S7 phone has dm-verity and you will not be able to flash zips and ROMs properly. Formatting will get rid of that verity encryption.
Another reason why to format data after TWRP installation is because as this method does not fully get rid of stock recovery and is left dormant, so formatting the data will let TWRP read your Data.

Nope. That is not part of the Data partition so the format shouldn't affect - IMEI No. is part of the EFS partition.

Just tried to restore a backup for the first time using official TWRP. At the end of restore it had red text saying something like couldn't mount system but said restore complete. Tried booting and it gives the unlock warning then goes to black screen and led light out up constantly and doesn't boot. I try to boot back into recovery and just stays on TWRP splash screen. What did I do wrong and how do I fix this?

Boot to TWRP, restore data only, flash the full ROM.zip, reflash official TWRP, reboot (may say there is no OS installed, ignore)
If you want magisk root, reboot into recovery after phone boots into OS, flash magisk and all modules should work again.

Whatever OOS version you want. It will make you stock after a flash with official TWRP, but since you restore data from your backup, it will keep all apps and settings. That's why you flash TWRP.zip after OTA.zip finishes. It will replace your boot IMG with stock. Then after you boot into system, you can install magisk by flashing again in TWRP. You can't flash magisk right away because of the a/b partition. Causes an error.

That should work. Just wipe data and cache in TWRP, then restore data from your old backup. I'd recommend keeping a zip file in internal storage of the ROM in case of emergency. That way you can recover without having to wipe internal storage again.

Mi device "xiaomi 3", is perfect for me!
After i wanted to install Android P, i got a bootloop. so i wanted to go to twrp but now my files are encrypted and twrp is not asking for a pin or pattern so i can't decrypt my internal storage files.
Now the biggest problem is that i just came back from a family weekend and i made a lot of pictures, witch i can't acces now, and i really want them back.
Now i can't install a new os or anything ...
Can someone please help me! i'm really despirate
(sorry for my bad english)
Try downgrading twrp , night get it to ask for pin
downgrading is never the answer. In fact, that will cause this problem to happen. Now i must ask, are you temp booting twrp or is twrp installed to phone.
I got this when I temp booted the mtp enabled twrp the other day, although it still asked for my passcode and said description was successful. When I rebooted the installed (official) twrp it all came back....

Bringing this back up... Did booting from temp twrp work? Ran into the same issue.
Temp boot and use the usb c to pull ur data from the device to a computer. After that you can wipe and start over. Unbricking guide available in the help section
Having the same issue. If I boot using fastboot TWRP I'm able to decrypt data. I did that and flashed stock OOS and the same TWRP version (BluSpark) that was used in the fastboot. But the folders are still encrypted. It's weird how a fastboot can decrypt it but a regular recovery boot can't. Is there any alternatives available?
I'm in the process of backing up my data before I officially bite the bullet.

Maintained by Dees_Troy, This build of TWRP will (probably) only work with devices using Full Disk Encryption (FDE) and may not work with devices that have been converted to File Based Encryption (FBE). FBE support may be added at a later date.
Full details can be view by their official website https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocophonef1.html

Yes, works very well, no need to format, and has sd support too.
Anyway, if it's a new phone, like mine, format as many times as you want lol. Which I did while trying out other TWRPs, and I still get them asking me for a password that was non-existent. My first time after so many phones where a TWRP was asking me for a password (which caught me offguard), and all Poco F1 TWRPs except this official one.
I have settled with this TWRP first, lost some time with the rest, my main goal was to root anyway, TWRP upgrade can come later. I do hope nandroid backup and restore is good as I have not tried it yet (just backup which went fine). Will try restore soon. I have Titanium and Migrate working anyway, and Nandroid Manager too.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/help/nandroid-backup-fail-t3887678
Restore gets completed, I reboot to system, it goes into fastboot mode. Tried again, same.
So I reinstalled latest MIUI ROM Global beta, which I prefer, and run Magisk again, and restored only Data partition. This worked and it rebooted into system, without me losing my data. I also didn't bother to remove my pin while taking the backup a suggested in another thread, and it's ok, no problem.
So still ok to backup, but can only restore data. Always have a copy of the ROM too in your SD Card or even internal storage to flash when needed, as well as Magisk if you use it.
As for the unofficial TWRP in my link above, restore was worse. It ended up in "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255".

Guy's Nandroid will working fine, if you save the right partitions!
Use system and vendor image! Instead of system and vendor.
Don't forget data as it is.

Yes, I just tried 2WildFirE's solution, and it works perfectly. And from this article, system image and vendor image are apparently even better than normal system/vendor.

So, no more problem with Nandroid and I can use this official TWRP or the other one. I won't use a custom ROM for my Pocophone as I like MIUI, so it's just fine for me.
As for the wrong date of Nandroid, it's ok, I enter my own file name backup anyway.
So I don't want to screw something up. I have decrypted my device to be able to more easily test other ROMs
Using an OTG and USB stick to make things easier ,, how do I flash Stock OOS back to a decrypted system and leave it decrypted ??
Thanks for the spoon feeding!

Flash stock like you did your ROMs. flash that DM varity at the end. Don't restore a stock backup if you didn't make it decrypted. Once you backup stock decrypted you can restore it anytime you want.
I've always started out on stock decrypted and then back that up. Then fish my ROMs you May have to reformat again so you can do it. I'm not to sure. If it's a different security patch you May have problems

Yes full zip. I would try it without a reformat first, just a factory reset in TWRP, and if it doesn't boot, then you know you will need to do the full format in TWRP. But I don't think you will. I hope not.

Man what a pain in the butt ... I tried over and over again and found no way to maintain decryption when going back to stock. ..... my device wouldn’t boot . I formatted data several times and that didn’t help ... still wouldn’t boot.
I may give up since I was able to flash encrypted
But if you have suggestions and the exact steps you take I might try again
Thanks

All I did was boot TWRP go to wipe, then format data
Then flash full os ZIP ,TWRP,DM varity all at same time
Then reboot recovery flash DM varity , magisk
Reboot to system. Then I backup this one decrypted, keep a copy on a flash drive
I haven't Flashed the new 9.5.11 yet. Maybe They changed something now that we can't run decrypted I'll let you know when I update.

Ok I just dirty flashed 9.5.11 and kept decryption. I didn't have to reformat because I was already unencrypted, but I followed the same way I shared with u.

Sorry for the slight OT
Can you run an androbench and post the results please, curious to see if decrypting affects write read performance
Can someone link DM verity please ?
