Hi
I've recently rooted my xz p , installed TWRP and faced the notorious encryption issue (can't mount data partition because it is encrypted). I searched around and found that formatting data partition will solve the issue. Tried it and TWRP was able to read the partition and mount it. After restart however, the phone can no longer boot (stuck at Xperia screen)… Tried this about three times:
flash rom with wiping partitions from flashtool => flash recovery =>TWRP ok => first boot ok => restart => TWRP can't read data => format EXT4 (can't repair) => reboot => stuck
I add that normal rom flashing won't solve the issue, must wipe userdata partition and flash it again
What version of twrp are you using?
twrp-3.3.0-0-maple

I would try the previous version of twrp. Because I just upgraded to 3.3.0 and could not mount my data partition. So I went back to my previous version (don't remember exact version) and then everything worked again.

Cannot wipe "/Data" & "/Dalvik" and TWRP is asking for Password [Solved]
Hey Guys!
So a few days ago i decided to install and try out the ubuntu touch. My Android OS was the newest CM-11 Nightly edition of the TF700t , but because it was not compatible with dual boot I wiped it out. Then I done everything as it was ordered and finally i had may Touch and my "TF700T_CROMBi-kk_RC2 KitKat-4.4.4rc2-CM11-D". Everything was perfect and there was no problem , then I wiped out the whole thing , because I dosen't liked the touch (from the beginning it was just about trying it out) and reinstalled the "TF700T_CROMBi-kk_RC2 KitKat-4.4.4rc2-CM11-D". For like a day there was no problem at all , then i turned off the tablet (before this shutdown there was like 3-4 restart) and when I turned it back 9 hours later the OS just restated it self when I tried to enter. The TWRP is asked for a password (I didn't setup any kind of security for my TWRP) so it was kinda odd. When I tried to restore my backup it's was a fail , also when I tried to wipe out the system "failed" , because the recovery system was unable to wipe the "/dalvik" and "/data" and neither can mount the "/data". I tried to update the TWRP via fastboot but my PC stays at "waiting for device". I appreciate any kind of suggestion and help , pls guys help I'm out of ideas .
TWRP version: 2.6.3.2
TWRP asks for a password if it can't read the file system on /data and so it assumes it's encrypted.
Sounds as if you corrupted your data partition somewhere in this. Try to format data (not wipe) in TWRP. This would erase all your data on the tablet, but you got that backed up anyway, right?
I swear to god that I tried this too , but it's worked. Thanks for the help.
I've read this issue with other devices, however. i've not found a solution for this yet
I'm new to this forums, let me know if i don't do something right.
I've been using Alberto97's AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1, it's my first custom rom install, i got it on
the first try, TWRP 2.8.6.0 running with no problems.. flashed other stuff like moto camera, marshmallow bootanim, and that's all
Last week i've tried to update to the CAF latest version of his build, however, TWRP
reboots when i try to wipe the /data partition, in the custom TRWP 2.8.7.0 thread found
i might need to repair the partition, i tried it with no success, repaired /cache with no problem, but when i try to fsck /data on TWRP it gaves me an error, haven't tried /system yet.
tried using CWM and it got stuck at wiping /data for like an hour (endless loop), i rebooted, the data was wiped, but i couldn't flash the ROM image, rebooted to clean system with no problems, it wipes cache and dalvik with no issues.
What's causing this? i have not faced apps FC or anything, just the TWRP random crashes at wiping, i'm using a Moto G XT1032 16GB TWRP 2.8.6.0 No custom kernel or non official recovery.

Leaving recovery.log on external page for reference.
hope you can help, thanks in advance.
Same problem here
You can use CWM by PhilZ for fixing what I think is a broken symlink to the emulated internal storage card.
I am using philz-6.58.7-falcon that you can find and download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583
Once you have flashed the new recovery you can go to "Advance menu", then to "change sdcard target" and define it to /data/media (you just have to tap on the option to set it).
Go back, select "Wipe option", then "Wipe User media" and the process should be successful.
If you reinstall TWRP and wipe "/data" now the rebooting problem should be gone and everything back to normal.
Hope this helps for you.
By the way this is my very first post here. So I hope I am doing this right.
Greetings.
Thank you for the help, i fixed it by repairing the userdata partition with the latest TWRP
Hello, thanks for your help.
It seems I bricked my galaxy s7 while trying to format the /data partition.
I installed TWRP 3.2 and a custom rom, and everything went smoothly until then.
I tried installing an audio mod which throwed a " can't mount /data" error, searching for solutions I read that formatting the data partition to fat and back to ext4 should solve the problem, I tried formatting it to fat with TWRP, however on the first try I got a message that it suceeded, followed by a message that /data could not be mounted, TWRP seemed to be still working (there was no reboot button or any other buttons, just a "working" bar). After giving the phone 3 hours I decided to restart it, now I can't access TWRP; it stays on it's "splashcreen", and of course the phone won't boot.
I'm having a rough time with this so I will appreciate it a lot if you can help me.
Thank you.
Boot to download mode, flash stock firmware using Odin, then retry the TWRP installation.
For wiping data, you have to make sure you use the wipe option that makes you type out 'yes' to wipe, the other factory wipe methods don't actually properly wipe the partition.
iirc you also then need to flash the dm no verity zip from the TWRP thread.
Bro you didn't have to do anything but just formating the phone in the first place. Aassuming you're on oreo , it happens to a lot of people and myself, after flashing a kernel twrp was unable to munt data, all i had to do is a data format in twrp that fixed the problem .
Hi,
I have an Honor 8 (EMUI 8). I opened the bootloader and flashed TWRP 3.2.0 via Multi-Tool.
Since TWRP asked for a password to the encrypted data partition, I elected to format it (Format Data, type yes) thinking it is empty anyway. However, Android won't boot now. TWRP works fine.
Why is this so?
And is there a quicker solution to the problem than flashing a new ROM?

After many failed attempts I was finally able to revive the phone. I just needed to use Download Latest Version in eRecovery, and a Factory Reset afterwards.
Hello i have issue i dont know whats going on with my phone
i have XZP I did google search to find solution and all comments says it works with these methods
every time I flash my phone and boot normal to the system I tried these with TRWP to :
Change File System Ext2 to Ext4, wipe dalvik, cache, data, formatting data or repairing
after all I did these methods I can mount the data but the problem is it stucks at boot loading
anyone can tell what is going on?
i have 2 different firmware they give me same error android 9.0
Better use old twrp 3.2.2.0, and flash userdata with newflasher
