Lately I have been having a problem where I would not get a prompt to type password to decrypt storage before entering TWRP. Initially when I encrypted the device booting into recovery functioned properly, but it doesn't now. I'm currently running XeononHD 8-6-13 and using 2.6.1 TWRP as a recovery. I have tried flashing different recoveries which did change anything. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Hey guys,
got a big problem. Got an encrypted and rooted One running Android 6.0.1 (Sultan CM13).
When I want to reboot into recovery I have to enter my pattern to decrypt the phone, but although I enter the right pattern, TWRP says it cant decrypt and mount my phone.
So my problem now is, I can't just do a factory reset, cause TWRP is bugged and via fastboot it always says "no permissions".
Help very appreciated!

Try running fastboot with root privileges if your on linux, which it sounds like.
Hey all!
I've been trying to install TWRP on my google pixel (32 GB/ 4GB). It runs Android 10, has an encrypted filesystem and the boot loader is unlocked. I booted into fastboot mode, then used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot into TWRP and it worked perfectly fine. Then, after decrypting, I tried flashing the TWRP zip I had on my phone. But it failed to do so, giving these errors - Failed to mount /system_root (invalid argument); Failed to mount /vendor (invalid argument). When I checked the mounted partitions in TWRP, system and vendor were unchecked and I couldn't check them.
Next, I tried to use fastboot flash recovery to flash the TWRP image directly from fastboot but this didn't work either.
Finally, I tried to flash a TWRP image after booting to TWRP. I chose the install to recovery ramdisk option but it didn't install, giving me the same failed to mount errors.
So right now I'm stuck at this point. Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks

You should indicate which image you are booting and flashing. There are several and from what I gather, not all are compatible with 10.

Hello! Thank you so much for the reply. I was flashing and booting twrp 3.5.1_9-0 for sailfish.

Try 3.3.0 instead (for both). The last I can find on my records that I used is 3.1.0.
Edit:
fastboot boot image
Flash twrp zip
Flash magisk zip
Reboot
Should be rooted with twrp installed.
This is how it used to work at least.
Okay I will try that out thank you!

Hey! I tried what you said, booted into twrp using fastboot. But when I entered my password to decrypt data it says "password failed, please try again". This did not happen when I used the other img.

I read through the twrp thread. I don't think they ever got deception working on 10. Not by installing, just booting.

So should I install the img via fastboot?

I don't think you can on Android 10. You can try but I think people just booted twrp when they wanted to use it.
I think I'm having the same problem or at least a very similar one, I get the same errors in TWRP (started with ""fastboot boot twrp.img") saying unable to mount /system_root and /vendor but i am still told installation was successful anyway. Unfortunately, when I reboot to recovery, it seems to try and start TWRP but the phone restarts after the google boot logo and this will happen every time.
You can get the older verson of (temporary) TWRP Tulsadiver suggested using past the decrypting stage simply by removing your password/pin in settings > security > screen lock but using this version didn't help me at all.
I have tried going back to an earlier stock rom using google's images and trying to install TWRP again but this didn't work either.
Please let me know if you get anywhere with this.
I also have the same problem. It just saying unable to mount /system_root (Invalid argument)
And the /system is read-only,
I need to modify the files on /system partition, what should I do?
I've tried 3.4.0.0 and 3.3.0.0 and 3.6.9.0-9-0 but all failed.
Thank you all!

I have this problem too. Pixel sailfish on Android 10, tried to install TWRP zip file using the TWRP temp boot, and it will say unable to mount system_root and vendor but still successful, but unable to boot to recovery (restarts after Google boot logo).
Any idea how to install TWRP on Pixel with Android 10?
I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help
does that work?:
Boot into twrp, then
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt myPassword
(myPassword is your user password)

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.
the correct and recommend way to install TWRP is
Flash TWRP
Erase userdata partition <~ it's important to do this as soon as possible since booting your device would just encrypt everything again
Format userdata partition
by doing this you would be able to access data partition files and folder would not be random letters.

Sorry for the late reply. Earlier i just gave up on installing the custom ROM and continued with my stock from. Today a tried again, installed TWRP and turns out it is not showing random letters now. its all regular storage. i didn't even do anything to decrypt it lol it just fixed itself. Now I will install the room myself. Thank you for your help though
Ah sh** here we go again. So i installed the custom rom successfully and everything worked fine, the TWRP too. but when I tried to flash a magisk patched image (the image that I used to root my phone in MIUI) then it got stuck in the boot screen. I had to flash the stock fastboot rom again.. And as expected from my piece of **** that xiaomi calls a phone, TWRP will show encrypted folders, and does not ask for a password. Same problem. Rooted my phone again, using the magisk root image, and it worked like usual, the phone rooted. Now i am stuck again in this bs. I guess I will wait for about 4-5 days and continue using the phone like normal. Maybe it will work again this time. I will try your method here first

Okay i tried wiping the data, cache and dalvik but it shows a huge essay of "error opening xxx/xxxx" in red text. Data wipe failed.
See you after like 4-5 days... hopefully
Update. I finally found a solution. It took literal hours of experimenting to find this.
-Flashed the fastboot ROM of the phone
-Rooted the phone by flashing magisk patched image
-Flashed Inception kernel via FK kernel manager
-Rebooting after flashing the kernel, It will get stuck in a black screen with no text whatsoever (probably a bootloop)
-Installed TWRP (This time TWRP does not show encrypted letters), Wiped all data, Transferred the custom ROM zip to the phone (while in TWRP) and flashing the rom
-The rom is flashed successfully. On the first reboot you get greeted with another bootloop. Fortunately the phone booted into TWRP. This time the folders are encrypted again.
-Successfully wiped the data (advanced>wipe data). No errors in data wiping this time.
-A fully working Corvus OS setup appears on rebooting.
I think the whole TWRP problem was fixed by the custom kernel. Anyways I am finally done with this now. You probably enjoyed seeing all this xD

I like that you keep trying and finding a solution, even though you had to invest hours to make it work!
Let's hope it will work if you update the OS though – I'd actually suggest a backup of all of your data before you do an update in the future, just to be safe!

tell me how to turn off a smartphone with a non-working sensor?
you can still use adb push command from pc to transfer files to your phone :
adb push "nameoffile" /sdcard
(place the file in your adb folder) I was able to root a phone that had this issue using this technique.
I think u should flash dm verity becoz when i flashed the rom and flashed dm verity it worked fine

First ROM present on device: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10Ultra_22.6.15_v13-12-fastboot.zip
Second time I tried to flash with fastboot and XiaomiFlash the same ROM, successfully installed, but I was still stuck in the loop.
Third time I flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10Ultra_22.6.29_v13-12.zip with TWRP, successfully, but I'm still stuck on the same loop, Android won't load.

Afternoon matey, not to sure if this is helpful or not, may not be even specific to your device, but the error is the same error, so may shine a little light on the error.
