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.

While attempting to flash the latest unofficial MIUI build yesterday, I got stuck at the animation logo, so I gave up. Instead, I flashed the Android L developer build, which did boot up completely for me. However, when I attempted to boot back into recovery, I got prompted to enter my encryption passcode, which I did. However, TWRP keeps telling me that decryption failed and to try again. The issue isn't an incorrect passcode, so I'm at a loss to try to figure out what's going on. Also, because TWRP won't decrypt my storage, I can't flash anything (despite the fact that I'm able to access SD card files from a file manager app when the phone is on). Any way I can get TWRP to decrypt my storage without having to wipe everything completely? Has anyone else experienced this?

Recovery is flashed in fastboot/bootloader...
Unless you used Towelroot, then you'll have to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe.
Really what I need is to figure out why TWRP isn't recognizing my encryption PIN. My storage is encrypted, but whenever I input my encryption PIN, I get an error message. How do I get it TWROP to recognize my encryption PIN?
Doesn't flashing L mess with your sdcard anyway?

Encryption always causes issues. I suggested to reflash TWRP with fastboot to rule out TWRP itself being the issue.
This is why I never encrypt. I just don't trust it.

Was this resolved?
I am facing the same issue with the AOSP builds of L. I wanted to take new Nandroid backups and realized that TWRP cannot decrypt the partition.

No it cannot.
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.
I unlocked the device recently, flashed TWRP and Magisk. Now after updating to Oxygen OS 5.1.11 by flashing the full OTA via zip using TWRP 3.2.1-0, the wifi does not turn on and the mac address shown seems to be invalid (screenshot attached). Also, the already enrolled fingerprints were not being recognized, so I removed and added them again, but it shows a fingerprint registration error (screenshot attached). The face-unlock feature is also not working. I can add my face data, but the phone never unlocks. I did a TWRP backup before flashing the update. All other apps, data, settings etc remain intact.
Please help to fix these issues,
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem with mine

I reckon this is due to tinkering with SLOT A/B manually in TWRP. I did the dalvik and cache wipe (old habits die hard), but I doubt it's the problem. I believe it's because I f****ed up with the SLOT changing (stupid me!).
Now I believe we should flash the original 5.1.5 ROM, or maybe we could reflash bootloader/modem which seems to be corrupted (no wifi, no bluetooth, seems like a modem problem) because it too has to variants A and B and they are messed
Just start over and do a clean flash of 5.1.11 according to the proper procedure. System problems like this are usually sign of getting the slots mixed up.
Make sure to follow instructions that has been posted multiple times and since every update has come out.
!!! Remove any substratum theme mods if any!!!
Others don't but I always remove my pin/pattern just in case bc it just takes just a minute to re set back up
1. Boot to twrp
2. Flash OS
3. Flash TWRP.zip (official or blusparks)
4. REBOOT TO RECOVERY (that changes your slot)
5. Install magisk 16.x
6. Flash other mods like xposed and/or kernels
Done! or others say profit!... Whatever floats ur boat.
I don't wipe caches, but u are always free to do so.
I know (now), but it's to little to late. Once the Slots get ****ed, that no longer works
Got my brand new U11+ today, applied november patch update, but now even with latest TWRP the phone keeps encrypting data. Any tip?
Sadly it looks like this device forum is poorly attended. Just so few U11+ out there? Really a shame
Please have a test and give me a feedback
https://www118.zippyshare.com/v/hUetNmUq/file.html
Please help me, somehow your version encrypted my phone.... What is password?
Thank you so much!
Just to give you feedback, here is what I did (and what happened):
- Reverted back to stock with RUU
- Applied OTA, security patch 2018 11 01
- Flashed according twrp
At first boot encryption occurred again and in security options I could read 'phone encrypted'; still I could enter recovery and normally see data. No request to decrypt, data perfectly accessible and I've been able to flash magisk from internal storage. This was all I needed. Yet, out of curiosity, I tried to wipe data to decrypt the phone. TWRP read something like 'unable to wipe data, you should reboot recovery to access data again'. And then data were gone. No mount, no access.
Once selected reboot to recovery, the phone rebooted system instead. This time there has been no encrypting message, but the phone was wiped. And again, reading in security options, it was encrypted. Going back to recovery I had exactly the same situation as before wiping data: I could see them and normally flash zip.
Even with this weird behaviour, so far I'm satisfied with the result, so again thank you very much!

You must flash the TWRP recovery which security level is the same as your current android system, otherwise you will get phone encrypted after reboot to android system or TWRP's data decrypting do not work.

TWRP says decrypted successfull with default password. In twrp I can see all my apps, but when reboot I cannot see.
Ehat version of twrp Shoul I use? Or which security patch should I flash?
Hello,
my setup first: Huawei Honor 6X with stock Rom (EMUI 5.0, BLN-21C432B382) but TWRP 3.1.1 flashed.
Everytime after I flash Magisk and reboot the device, it is asking me for my password to decrypt my data. When I enter my screen lock pin,
it says "checking" and then a screen appears which says something like "your password is correct but your data is corrupt" It tells me to reset my phone.
But instead when i go back to TWRP, i can still access all the data. I can see the internal storage and all the files on it.
The only way to make the system reboot correctly, is to flash the backup image of the boot partition.
Does anyone know any fix to this issue? I really want Magisk installed....
Edit: When I install version 18.1 instead of the latest 19.1, everything works normally. But many modules dont work with the older version.... this is not a good solution
No suggestions at all?
