Hi
After waiting days to unlock the boot loader, i've managed to install TWRP and EvolutionX after a bit of a struggle, but..
I've gone to flash something in TWRP and it's now encrypted... it's asking for a password?
Apparently OrangeFox resolves this issue, but I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Any other solutions are welcome.
I solved the issue, it turns out the encrypted passcode was my lock screen passcode..

Hi folks,
My MI4C is on the weekly MIUI 7.4.x, I am now looking to upgrade, hence as usual I rebooted in recovery.
The phone has obviously root and unlocked bootloader.
TWRP is asking for my encryption password, which I know, but no matter what, TWRP does not flipping accept the password!
What can I do?
Do you know if you have the Nougat bootloader or the old one?
I have not found a TWRP that can successfully decrypt it Nougat bootloader ROMs. If you are not on the Nougat Bootloader then I recommend trying Team Superluminal's TWRP, since that is the only one that worked with encryption enabled for me I think.
Have you got a working rom/os on the phone ?, If you do have try to add a password on the rom, hope the twrp has a new working crypto after that and ask you for a new password. If it didnt work try to reinstall the twrp by erasing it first.
Hi, I am on the Nougat bootloader, I tried to change the encryption password, tried to remove the encryption, but nothing worked, TWRP is still asking me the password to access the data partition.
What can I do?
I cannot wipe the phone, as I use it for my work,how can I upgrade TWRP when encryption is on?
Hi folks, anybody in my situation? I would like to avoid wiping the entire phone just because of the TWRP password bug.
I changed to a PIN password, but nothing works.
Hello, been running twrp with encryption on Lineage OS 16 without problems for 6 months. But yesterday I flashed new android Q factory image and was unable to decrypt my data in twrp, even when I put the right password in it says ''password failed, please try again''. I tried flashing various factory images, custom roms even Lineage 16 but problem persists. I had this same problem back then when I first bought this phone but managed to solve it, I can't remember how I did it. TWRP is up to date. Any ideas? thanks.
It's TWRP issue. Sadly TWRP 3.3.1 is not available in zip format. Only in .img format. In 3.3.1 this problem is resolved.
As workaround you can remove any PIN, fingerprint and set security to none in setting and you won't have to enter anything in TWRP. Do whatever you want in TWRP and then set up PIN and fingerprint again.

Yeah I know this, but why did it started to do this after flashing Q factory image? TWRP worked without any problem on various custom roms. Actually now I remembered that while flashing Q factory image there was a problem mounting vendor and system partition, so I went back and flashed Lineage 16 and there this TWRP password thing started if I remember correctly.
I came here looking for the answer to this very issue.
I shot off an email to TWRP if they were going to update the latest zip to 3.3.1 because fastbooting to the img works fine.
I might try the trick of removing pin and security and try again.
I have the same problem but with 9.0, if I have a pin it's ok it decrypts just fine but when I have the fingerprint set up I get this problem, it kinda blows, I'm not using twrp everyday but it still blows that you have to disable security Everytime you want to use it, also, last night I used twrp with the security on it could not decrypt so and when i tried to reboot into system, I got the prompt to install the twrp app, I screwed up and used the slider instead of the button to cancel the installation and it messed up the system, so watch out for that crap.
I have an unlocked Redmi 6 phone. i have tried to install twrp on it but ive never succeeded. I have tried different versions of twrp for the phone but always after i flash the recovery and i boot into it its either just a black screen on some really glitchy garbage (like in the image attached). The only recovery ive gotten to work is pbrp (pitch black recovery project) but it cant decrypt the data partition so i cant install anything. I have also installed the official cactus version of twrp that i could actually boot into and could decrypt the data partition but it seemsed that when you tried to install anything with it it would just do nothing.
I might be doing something wrong, if i am , i would be quite thankful if someone would explain it to me
Dear Community,
I hope someone can help me with my problem.
My Oneplus 5 (cheeseburger) is running Android 11 (/e/ OS from e foundation, based on LineageOS for microG, rooted with Magisk). My recovery until yesterday was TWRP 3.6.2_9-0. The whole system ran great, no problems.
Then yesterday I updated TWRP to the latest version 3.7.0_12-0. To do this I booted into the recovery and flashed the .img file there, as I always did. But when I booted into recovery again right after that, my unlock pattern didn't work anymore. Then I booted into the OS; the unlock pattern worked, but I can no longer get into the system settings and Bluetooth won't turn on. However, the apps all seem to work normally.
I then flashed TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 in fastboot mode via adb. Now the unlock pattern in TWRP worked. I then flashed the /e/ OS rom again. But that did nothing, I still can not get into the system settings and Bluetooth does not work.
Now I have two questions:
1. how can it be that updating TWRP leads to such problems?
2. what did I do wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Can no one really explain to me how this problem came about?
I have now installed Android 12 cleanly, TWRP is 3.7.0_12-0.
What do I do when a new TWRP update comes? I don't even dare to install it if it then shatters my operating system again.
Hi, i recently unlocked my phone bootloader (Redmi Note 10) and installed TWRP. It works fine, when i launch the recovery it asks me for my pattern lock and if i input it correctly it decypts the data. I wanted to try orangefox recovery because i prefer it for it's functonalities and look. I tried installing it but when i launch it it asks me for a text password/PIN. There's two problems here: First: i don't have a text password or a pin but a pattern lock. Second : i tried setting up a pin instead of a pattern lock in android but i still could'nt decrypt data when entering orangefox recovery.
I tried with the latest version of orangefox for the redmi note 10.
sorry for my bad english, i'm french.
(edit: by the way i don't want to format or wipe my data)

ASK in the official device thread. when coming from TWRP or stock recovery, you need to flash OF recovery using the .zip and not using .img file, else you will get installation problems. Of course, Formatting Data partition (not wiping) will solve your problem most likely (I saw your edit).
As for decrypting using a pattern, refer to the official TWRP command line dictionary. Pay attention to the section: Specific pattern decrypt note
Again. Ask in your device sub-forum.

Hey, thank you very much for your reply. I tried the pattern decrypt method but it did not work (my pattern would be 14569) I will ask in the device thread
(also yes i'm flashing orangefox with a zip file from TWRP)
