Any way to encrypt the phone from within Fastboot, Recovery or ADB?
The CM12 Nightlies' encryption doesn't work and I need encryption for work.
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.
Hi folks, I searched wide and large, it seems I cannot access TWRP anymore after having encrypted my phone.
I have a Mi4C, with the 7.4 weekly ROM (MIUI 8.3).
I set the encryption in order to use the company eMail app.
When I tired to enter TWRP I was asked the encryption password, but it did not work, so I tried to:
Remove the encryption altogether
Encrypt with a new Password
Encrypt with PIN
I have installed the latest TWRP 3.1.1. via the TWRP APP, same issue.
Nothing has worked.... Can I just remove TWRP and install a newer version?
How do I overwrite the file that has that TWRP encryption record?
You can try flashing updated twrp, but I doubt it will remove encryption without wiping data.
Anyway, if you wanna remove encryption you've to wipe data via TWRP.
Thanks for answering, I did try to upgrade TWRP, no success. I will wipe.
Hello, I have a Galaxy S7 G930F which I recently updated to stock Oreo (clean flash with Odin), installed TWRP, rooted, flashed xposed etc. The thing is, TWRP does not work with an encrypted stock S7, so it is forcefully decrypted. (please correct me if I am wrong) But now that I've set everything up, I would rather have encryption than a working TWRP, but if I try to encrypt the device (don't care about SD) from settings, it says encrypting for a while, then hangs at booting for a few minutes, then boots but without having encrypted.
So the question: how can I encrypt my already set up device now, even if that means breaking TWRP functionality?
In other device sections some said to disable SuperSU and then encrypt. Not sure how I would do that. Does anybody have other ideas?
Long story short. I got in a bootloop cause I think the rom I tried to install is failing. Now I'm into the recovery and can't do nothing cause the TWRP won't let decrypt my data. I already type the password and it shows "password incorrect"
So, I can't boot my phone and am not able to decrypt the data for me to back it up.
Is there any way to bypass encryption or delete the file which saves the PIN CODE? I already tried using DFE but it stuck in the logo.

why DFE? that is only for one purpose - disable forced encryption. it helps to stay unencrypted after formatting.
you messed up everything so you probably already destroyed encryption. your data is lost.
encryption depends on files from /system and /vendor, you could try to restore exact ROM version from your backup like it was before. even then your encryption keys might still flagged as invalid meanwhile because of rollback protection.

DFE is needed to flash after installing ANY ROM to KEEP the system "unencrypted". That's what I keep doing since many rom updates ago, and always work without any issue.
The point of the thread is strictly aimed to TWRP and its decrypting process, not "what I should have done with my data" or "asking for lessons/advices". Let's keep that false condescension away from the thread.
The problem with decrypting in TWRP is well known, had it like twice, the first solution is what you said, trying to find an exact ROM to flash it over it but the thing is there's no "exact ROM version" atm, so I need to find another solution via TWRP if possible.
your question was about "decrypt the data for me to back it up"
