Encryption Issues - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I hope you guys can help. I have an OPO which is on Android 8 as per this link and it was all working fine (well, it's a bit buggy in places, but I can live with it!).
I have TWRP installed (3.2.3.0), and had no problems with it, was easy to access and install/backup with it; I have reasonably recent backups too (but wait for it....), and phone is rooted using Magisk.
Anyway, in a recent bout of paranoia, I encrypted my phone. It's a long story, but the company I work for recently employed an IT company to manage its systems and I didn't want them poking about where they shouldn't (they are not particularly good).
The encryption worked straight away, and clearly functions as it should; rebooting the phone requires a pattern unlock, and the phone is clearly marked as encrypted.
HOWEVER when I went to try and get into TWRP, I was faced with the same pattern unlock request - I tried it, and my pattern doesn't work. I have seen suggestions about disabling screen lock, or changing it to a PIN, but this doesn't affect the pattern unlock on TWRP. I reckon I can probably access the backups when unlocked via PC file transfer, so presumably can flash these via ADB, but I'm a bit loathe to in case something horrible happens.
So, is there a solution? do I:
try and reflash TWRP/different version of TWRP
flash the backup?
try and decrypt the phone
cry?
with regards decrypting, I can't see any way of reversing the encryption one it has happened - kinda wish I'd known that before I'd done it.
Help would be greatly appreciated. It isn't a major problem, phones working, it's just my modding is kinda curtailed....

Would this one work?

yep, that's awesome, fully up and running now. Just for anyone else experiencing this problem, I downloaded the TWRP version listed above, then flashed it via ADB (unlock USB debugging on your phone, connect it, open a powershell window where you keep your adb files, 'adb reboot bootloader' then 'ffastboot flash recovery [NAME].img' and it will reinstall TWRP with the new version).
Bit of a moment when I rebooted to recovery, as faced with the same decryption unlock window, but this time the decryption worked and was able to access TWRP fully.
Nice one.

OnePlus One Malfunction? Help please

G'day people I've run into something pretty weird with my OnePlus One. I installed the CM12 nightly and booted it up, ran it for a few hours then got ghost touches and the screen became unresponsive at times.
So, having my usual backup of CM11S, I wiped and restored to the latest backup I had and everything was weird. I kept getting ghost touches and reduced responsiveness, and sometimes it would just randomly malfunction and not unlock and just keep the screen off.
Rebooting clears up the problem for about 5 minutes and then it comes back at full blast.
I tried installing the last CM11S update via flashing Calkunins stock XNPH44S zip and still I have all these weird issues that wasn't there before I flashed the CM12 nightly.
Has anyone come across this problem or is it just me and my device? It's seriously a cause for concern, and I'm posting this to both XDA and the OnePlus forums in hopes of getting some sort of help and relief in this situation.
Any assistance is appreciated and I thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
reflash cm12 nightly and try again.
perhaps use fastboot to flash the partitions .
You might need to find a copy of the first cm11s rom and try that one. I have a feeling your one of the unlucky with firmware sensitivity.
Which date is your phone from? (its on the box)

GO back to completely factory fresh, via fastboot commands.
If you still have problems, it's a hardware issue then.

not entirely true, there are different screens, that could be the issue. It was reported in boeffla kernel thread. sesrch throught it and it might contain something useful to try.
also open a support question, Oneplus needs to know how annoying their poor choice of different lcds are

I'll try to flash CM11S via fastboot to see if it clears up the issue. For now, the date I got mine is 2014-07-16. Shipped to me after 12 days (International shipment via courier)
UPDATE
Flashing CM11S via fastboot resolved all issues as far as I can tell.
Will remain on the lookout for the bugs in the future but for now I'm happy to say it worked for me.
Thank you all again for the advice and guidance, it was appreciated.
GLad it worked for you.
I love when other posters try to punk you when you try to help people.

Nobody was trying to "punk" you. There are usually several different potential causes for the same symptom, all he was doing was highlighting that and adding extra information in order to help further (in the case that flashing the stock images didn't help, which has happened many times). He was also trying top help the OP. Calm down.

I thought it was the partition thing too because I had almost the same problem on my HTC Amaze back in 2014, and flashing the OEM RUU helped with sorting things out.
But as for the random screen touches, flashing everything from fastboot helped for only a few hours. The symptoms came back after a while, specifically when I replaced my music and pictures. I'm thinking that I may have a corrupted file on it somewhere but I doubt it'll cause a malfunction like that.
So I tried flashing Franco Kernel, and it seems to have cleared it up..... for now.
It's so frustrating thinking that my device may be defective
UPDATE #2
Flashing Franco Kernel didn't help. Symptoms came back within a couple hours. Will try a custom ROM, specifically AOPK (because I want to )
If that doesn't fix the issue then I've just got to face the fact that I have a defective device (somehow)
Bump
Nothing worked. I contacted the manufacturer but they seem to think doing a factory reset will help. It didn't.
Flashing CM11S via fastboot doesn't help
I really think this is a hardware issue that just emerged from nowhere, probably due to lack of premium or standardized quality adhesive.
There's a really long thread over at the OnePlus forums about a guy who found it was a grounding issue and took some adhesive tape to insulate the area near the proximity sensor (I think? I'll include the link in here somewhere)
Honestly, OnePlus impressed me....at first. But I cannot use a phone that's not working properly.

Same problem here... I had the first ghost touches after having installed CM12 Nightly.
I was using CM12 built by Daleski75 so far without any issue. The problem does not appear on a regular basis and when it does, a reboot seems to fix it, at least for a few minutes/hours.
I'll try a clean install when the stable version is out (don't really want to wipe now and once more in two/three weeks).
@rdar_93: Did you find a solution? Are you going to send the device back to OnePlus? If it is actually a hardware issue, that will be enough for me, no more OPO. Sending the device back to China after 2 months of use and having to pay for the shipping is not acceptable.
Edit: It's getting worse... I am gonna wipe soon. Here is a short video: drive.google.com/file/d/0B-EYHGTB15_wS1JXdXlmZXVsT0k/view?usp=sharing
I can't post link for now so you'll have to copy and paste it in your browser.
Edit2: After a full wipe and the installation of the latest nightly, the situation seems to be better, even though I will have to use the phone a bit more to see if it happens again. By the way, I lost dt2w and the gestures don't work well, if not at all... When I draw a V, nothing happens, when I draw a circle, the phone behaves as if I did a double tap. Weird. Again, this happens after a wipe+latest nightly installation+wipe again (to be sure ).

I contacted them and they sent me a program to use. It uses fastboot to flash CM11S and probably fix the partitions that are messed up (I'm making an assumption)
UNFORTUNATELY I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I'm so angry, disappointed and depressed at the same time. I paid about $2500 TTD (in my country) which is probably the equivalent to somebody's rent. I had to work a month to save up the money to buy this and it turns out that the device is faulty after a certain amount of time (or at least mine was)
This is BS.
They said to send them a snapshot of what went on with the fastboot thing, so I figure I"ll upload it here too.

I guess you didnt unlock bootloader first
Which when you do wipes the phone so you loose all your stuff.
possible workaround is fasboot on custom recovery and then flash the zip that sets unlock status and circumvents the whole format thing

I actually did unlock my bootloader.
PS I also got tired of seeing CM11S try to boot up so I flashed ColorOS (because it's the only rom I had on my laptop. Why not download another 4.4.x AOSP rom? Unstable wifi at school)
So yeah, wifi is not turning on. Gonna try the program again. I wonder if it would work this time?
The conditions aren't as different as before, could work, right?
Honestly I want to wait but they take so long to reply.
UPDATE
After flashing ColorOS I decided to go back and try doing the CM11S via fastboot commands. Still got a bootloop but hey I got the correct fastboot logo now in case if it made a difference.
So I did the compulsory flashing commands when I went from Color to CM11S and still bootlooped.
So I booted into fastboot again
fastboot oem unlock (supposed to unlock bootloader and reboot if it's locked, no reboot if unlocked [assumption])
then rebooted into fastboot again, ran the batch files OnePlus sent to me which essentially flashed CM11S just like you would over fastboot, but with added modems etc.
Successfully booted into CM11S without issues, WiFi works again and so far no symptoms as yet.
Will keep this post updated if anything happens.
My screenshots of the batch file commands OnePlus sent would be found in the attachments.
UPDATE 2
So I think it's fixed permanently this time.
I'm not sure though. It hasn't done anything weird. I will copy my music and photos to see if that would cause anything to happen
I would stay away from os since it messes up partition and people ran into data drop out and modem issues.
Cm11s Roms are the way to go on this hardware.
FYI, when you flash CM12 the radio is overwritten with an alpha/beta radio which causes (well, caused for me) THE EXACT issues OP was having in CM11/S. The CM12 radio (as far as I can tell) ONLY works with CM12 - making going back a PITA.
If you have the baseband in this thread (see screenshot in first post) then that means you are on the experimental radio and are going to have a bad time if you aren't on CM12.
I flashed the latest OTA radio found here and all was right with the world (at least where my OPO was concerned ).

I would like to go back to CM11s to check if the situation is better. I tried to flash the lastest CM12 build and it seems to be better but still not as good as before
When I do a wipe and then flash the ROM in TWRP, there are some "folder already up to date", which I would like to avoid. What I would like to do is doing a complete clean install of either CM12 or CM11s plus rewriting the partitions,... So that I'm sure if the problem is still here it is due to an hardware issue.
Is there any chance someone can help me with this? Even with a link... I searched for "write partition" without any luck :-/
Thanks !
EDIT: Do you think the OnePlusRecovery Tool can help me with this?

Recovered from boot loop but constant crashes with older ROM

I am helping a friend to get his One Plus One 64GB to work again after an OTA update broke it.
Initial Problem
Two days ago she started an OTA update which made the phone reboot constantly before even android started. Basically it showed the logo for about 6s then vibrated and restarted again. I later found /o/Android/data/com.cyngn.fota/cache/cm-12.0-YNG1TAS17L-bacon-signed.zip so I assume that this was what was installed.
The phone is completely untouched otherwise. She has no computer knowledge whatsoever and says she didn't give it to anyone.
My attempt
I was able to install cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed.zip and cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed.zip via sideloading. The phone started ok but was crashing all the time. I am not able to get into settings to activate developer settings (adb) because the crash notifications hinder navigation and after about 10s the whole gui crashes and I see the black screen with the hexagon loading logo. The latter firmware is worse meaning it crashes at a higher frequency.
The Problem
She didn't expect any problems and does not have a backup of her data. Thus I can't do a factory reset or use fastboot.
Question
Did I use the wrong ROM? There seem to be many variants. I haven't found any information which explains the differences.
Could I maybe flash a minimal ROM that would not crash to backup the data and than do a factory reset?
Is there any way to activate adb access without having to navigate to settings?
I've experienced your issues as well when helping another friend out, try using a newer version of cm11s, something like 44S /44R (i dont remember what it is) or 05Q, those should not have the issue and everything should work fine
Jst flash a newer modem in recovery

The problem here is that you flashed an older build, going backwards like that is what's causing the crashes. Grab the latest build from here:

Flash that and hopefully you'll be ok.

That won't help, flashing an older build than what was previously installed without wiping properly will cause problems.

Actually this is what I did in the very first beginning but I encountered the same rebooting symptoms like after the OTA update. Since it didn't seem to change anything I didn't mention it. I used cm-12.1-YOG4PAS1N0-bacon-signed.
Any other ideas? I am about to unlock it with fastboot but really would prefer not to delete all user data.

Fingerprint ID gone after bootloader unlock, root and stockified theme

Hi there.
After my attempts to get my H8 as stock like as possible I realized that the Fingerprint ID settings got lost in the process. Directly after oem unlock I flashed latest twrp and did a backup. But after restoring that the fingerprint setting was still missing.
I googled the problem but didn't really find any similar case so maybe someone can give me a hint. Is that something that might be to recover from the twrp backup? Does anyone know the settings "name" internally?
I am a little bit lost here. It is not a complete dealbreaker but the few times I could use the fingerprint sensor I was quite surprised how fast and flawless it worked.
The smart key feature still works btw.
-- Update --
Here is the logcat right after reboot which mentions 'fingerprint' - the device complains that "/system/bin/fingerprintd" cannot be found. Which is definitely there. So it really has a problem with the underlaying fingerprint software/driver system. Don't think its hardware related.
Any suggetions?
http://pastebin.com/6PMeL8QT
I've done this. Depending on which firmware you are on, you should flash the boot.img corresponding to the specific firmware you have on your phone. Trust me, I went the long way around to figure it out. Twrp doesn't seem to restore everything on my device, frd-l04.

No wifi signal.......no sim signal help please !!!

ello,
I need file for HTC U-11 Version 8.0 latest one,Following are the details
cid: BS_US001
mid: 2PZC 50000
product: htc_ocnwhl
after ruu and custom rom flash phone boots up normal, however I cant get pass the blue setup screen wizard as my phone isnt seeing any wifi connection and sim card isn't detected. So am stuck there, are there any file to restore my wifi signal and sim signal. I can enter TWRP though. Any and ALL help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
I have a very similar problem, however I am and have always been on stock ROM. Yesterday suddenly my phone lost wifi and telephony connection. It was just there, sitting on my desk, one minute it was working and I was checking my e-mail, the next one it was not. The phone now detects no SIM card and if I try to enable wi-fi it just hangs in "enabling" status for some time until it gives up and disables it again.
I think it might be some hardware or low-level issue, even if I am having a hard time how anything could happen while my phone was sitting on the desk. Next step is a hard reset and if it doesn't, then there is no hope left I think.
Your symptoms are similar, even if it happened after flashing. The only thing which I hope might help you is that, assuming that your situation is comparable to mine, if you manage to get past that screen or to access the Bluetooth settings, you can probably connect the phone to the internet through Bluetooth tethering. Once you are connected to the internet, many things are easier. Also, is that blue screen the one forcing you to sign in to a previously synced account (factory reset protection)? If so, there used to be a loophole in this, there are several youtube videos about it which you can easily find. Perhaps it's still there.
EDIT: Sorry for the necroposting, for some reason I overlooked the date of the original post.

Just for future reference: my U11 never resumed working after this. I kept using it for two full months, after moving my SIM card to a spare phone (good old M8) and using bluetooth tethering to get it to connect to the internet. I hoped that
for some reason the problem would at some point just go away by itself, which of course wasn't the case. I didn't try a factory reset because other people had no luck with it. So no happy ending for this story.
Should anybody else encounter this problem and land on this thread, I have nothing better to recommend than just doing the same: don't bother trying to fix it, move your SIM card to some older spare phone and use bluetooth tethering to bring the U11 to the internet. This will win you some time to pick a new phone without rushing, while critical things like Whatsapp, authenticator apps and so on will keep working, making it easier to migrate to the new phone.

I had similar situation. My battery juiced down and closed automatically. Then i plugged it to charge, waited for full charge and then opened it. Wifi and Sim were not working after booting. It was there before power is over ans it has gone after powering it back. I tried many things as factory reset wipe cache/dalvik etc. By the way I was using lineage os 17.1 for a few months.
The only thing that worked was flashing original stock rom via download mode. after this i got sim working back but no wifi still. now i am using it as a spare phone with only mobile internet connection.
I showed it to a few repairmen but they told me it is onboard wifi at motherboard of phone and they can't fix it without replacing motherboard which is quite expensive nearly as a new phoe.
If anyone know how to bring wifi back please tell me too.

yes, this can be fixed, i had the same problem coming back to stock from los 17.1, you need to downgrade to oreo then let it update to pie, but it depends on the phone you have, mine is us unlocked, there is a tutorial here somewhere on how to do it. look see if you have a wi fi mac address if it's 2x.00.00.00.00.00, it same as i had.

Yes i have same wifi mac address as 2x.00.00.00.00.00
Thanks for advise, i will try it. Can you refer me a manual for this downgrading? I looked to forums but there is a problem that says it can't be done if it is s-on. I unlocked bootloader before installing los 17.1. Also they say it can only be downgradable from oreo to nougat. So, if you can share a guidance for how to do downgrade from pie to oreo when s-on, it would be grade.

here's what i did:
1. connect the phone to pc and boot into bootloader
2.flash hosd_signed.img (fastboot flash hosd hosd_signed.img) this has to be the hosd for your software
3.once done boot into TWRP and rub the HTC dev info tool
4.change the version number into 2.42.617.7(this is for us unlocked)and hit save apply all changes'
5.run the oreo RUU for your phone.
Where can i find the hosd file?

that is for us unlocked, if your phone is not us unlocked i don't have another hosd.
So I was able to solve this problem by flashing the oreo RUU from htc, then flashing twrp, complete wipe, and restoring a previous LOS 10 backup. Now my wifi is restored, and mobile data is back to normal.

Can you tell more detailed instrustions for how to do it?
I have got los 17.1 backup. when I tried to flash it with twrp it seems flashing but after finishing phone restarts and nothing changed. I tried many times. I got backup but it does not flashing back. What could be the problem?

you need to pull the hosd from an oreo ruu for your phone, if there is one.what ever the software number is.
@ Aldo101t
what do you mean: "3.once done boot into TWRP and rub the HTC dev info tool"

I have a very similar problem, however I am and have always been on stock ROM. Yesterday suddenly my phone lost wifi and telephony connection. It was just there, sitting on my desk, one minute it was working and I was checking my e-mail, the next one it was not. The phone now detects no SIM card and if I try to enable wi-fi it just hangs in "enabling" status for some time until it gives up and disables it again.
I think it might be some hardware or low-level issue, even if I am having a hard time how anything could happen while my phone was sitting on the desk. Next step is a hard reset and if it doesn't, then there is no hope left I think.
Your symptoms are similar, even if it happened after flashing. The only thing which I hope might help you is that, assuming that your situation is comparable to mine, if you manage to get past that screen or to access the Bluetooth settings, you can probably connect the phone to the internet through Bluetooth tethering. Once you are connected to the internet, many things are easier. Also, is that blue screen the one forcing you to sign in to a previously synced account (factory reset protection)? If so, there used to be a loophole in this, there are several youtube videos about it which you can easily find. Perhaps it's still there.
EDIT: Sorry for the necroposting, for some reason I overlooked the date of the original post.

@ Black Antitoon, Read your problem of WiFi and Sim Signal not working. I'm also facing the same issue, exactly a similar one, without doing anything it just happened. Would like to understand if you have got any solution. Thanks in advance

@abhi2301: sorry for answering so late. Unfortunately I couldn't fix this problem. I kept using the phone for two months after moving my SIM card to a spare phone and connecting the U11 to the internet using Bluetooth tethering, which was the only thing that worked. I kept hoping that at some point connectivity would start working again, but that wasn't the case. I eventually gave up. Sorry for not having better news.
As you probably read (from post #13 on), other users had better luck by flashing a RUU, hope this can work for you too.
Cheers
I ran across this post and it fixed my issue regarding no wifi,
My u11 encrypted? lost wifi and mobile signal, after restore rom, it bricked
Please check the pictures: short story first: after reset the ROM with recovery mode, the u11 can go through the encrypting screen, then it will loop and stuck in the setup screen. I didn't really encrypt my phone ever, I only had a simple...

So which one is your solution of all the messages in the post? Can you copy paste the message?

Android 12 Beta

I'm thinking of trying out Android 12 Beta soon. Anybody try it out? Any bad bugs?
better wait , my phone is stuck in setup process "keep date from old phone" > "enter pin" > keep data from..." blabla
Seems great to me. No issues whatsoever!
I cleaned flashed to it from DP3 yesterday. Loving it so far! And I wasn't sure about some of the UI changes from the leaked photos.
The bugs I'm getting are:
Bubbles work, but there's a messages 'screen' that opens for each one that you see in recents.
The new conversation widgets still only shows the person. No message or anything. It does launch either messages or whatever bubble.
There's still a pill on the top of the screen when it's locked. Looks like the navigation pill. It started for me on DP3.
That's all I've seen so far. No crashes. Root works but safety net fails, Viper4Android works, GPay works.
Go get it!
Beta 1 works well so far. There were some minor issues that disappeared, so not even sure if it was the Beta causing it.
Magisk/root works
EdExposed doesn't work yet -- or at least, I couldn't get it to work
So far it's been perfect. No issues whatsoever. Been using it since yesterday when it released. I did perform a factory reset as always. It's really nice I think.

I've had the same issue (having the pill on the lock screen) since android 11... Otherwise, seems to be relatively usable
Anyone able to get safetynet passing?

With A11? Weird! It only started doing it for me on DP3. I even reset my phone on it to try to fix that and a couple other issues. Clean flashed into beta 1 and it's still there...
Go for it. But be sure about how you follow the installation instructions. Don't forget, the Android 12 beta is still a beta release with some known issues and can brick your device. Be cautious.

Well, just flashed Android 12 beta today and I'm love it so far. I'm really like the Samsung style AOD clock.
I have installed Android 12 beta. After booting into Recovery mode and performing Hard Reset after rebooting, the system hangs at verify pattern. I mark the correct pattern I have used previously, the system accepts it and then comes back a step back. I cannot enter the system, I cannot upload an older version of the system. Phone locked, bootloader locked, I can't start debugging mode because the system won't let me go any further after verifying the correct pattern or PIN.
Someone help?

You need to unlock it and flash again.
