Hi guys,
As always directly after an update I wanted to clear the cache since it prevents a lot of problems and it comforts my update OCD. But after the latest beta update I can't seem to enter the recovery menu, when I type my pin it says wrong pin and it won't decrypt.
I know I have the correct pin since I can enter my phone just like I used to, but to decrypt the phone it says it's incorrect. Anyone recognises this problem or knows how to fix it?
Update your trwp to latest one, use blusparks

I have no idea what you are talking about. But as far as I know I've never used trwp. But thanks for the suggestion!

I think its a decryption issue. Have you unlocked your bootloader?

Yes! Can that be the issue? In the previous version of android I've never had any problems with this, just with the recent update.

Thanks to @cameljockey1, and the solution is located #4 post.
Hi,
Newbie to Android 7+ and Magisk, I'm sorry if it is an common thing but I still didn't get any clue after some search.
I found that after installing Magisk, I'm prompted to do the pattern unlock everytime when it reboots before Android booting is ready.
I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of the thing and keep my phone encrypted.
Thank you.

My phone is not rooted and each time I reboot I need to do the pattern unlock. It's due to encryption not to root.
I don't think you can get rid of this.

You sure you get Android 7 from U11+ ?
Setting- security and location- screen lock and change your pattern and it will ask if you want to have it for device reboot. Click no.

ok let me make it clear. I mean it is the first android 7+ device for me, since I had <= android 6 devices before. so compares to that fact, I wrote it is my first Android 7+.

Thank you, I thought turning on that option was about to keep locked after rebooting, which I was wrong.

Thank you, but you may refer to @cameljockey1 from #4 of this thread, I finally got rid of this by following his method.
I'm on a Pixel 2 and I sideloaded the February 2018 security update. I tried to install Magisk again by using "fastboot boot twrp-image.img". I've tried all the versions of TWRP available on their site (twrp.me)
I get into TWRP and enter in my pin to decrypt the phone, which I've always used. TWRP says incorrect password. This is the first time I've ever gotten this.
Anybody else having the same issue, or tips to fix? Thanks!
Yes, it's been mentioned a few times. Simply remove the password lock from your phone before booting into recovery, then add your password back after you're done flashing.

Thank you for this. I did quite a bit of searching last night and this morning but couldn't find anything on it. This makes sense and I'll give a try when I get home.

I removed the pin and when I went to fastboot boot twrp.img, it went right through without prompting for a password in TWRP.
You may need to reboot first, after the pin removal

Awesome! Cheers!
Blech, re-signing in to every app with a fingerprint and resetting up fingerprints sounds like a drag
Am n the same boat i cant access none of my files including the no-dmverity.zip suppose to flash after booting twrp.img to flash twrp.zip

doesent work on galaxy s9/los15.1
hey guys, i got a issue about TWRP. I'm using android 7.1.1 NOF27B, and i want use custom TWRP. so i download firmware from google, flash-all. then reboot to system, copy twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.2.2-0.zip to internal storage, then reboot to bootloader, using fastboot boot twrp-3.2.2-0-sailfish.img first to enter temporary twrp, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.2.2-0.zip. the question is when i reboot to bootloader and enter to recovery, it does not show the password i need to enter, so i can not decrypt the data. i just want to have custom ESP backup to use different CDMA CHANNEL in CHINA. does anybody help me?
I ran into this issue as well, a workaround i found if you can get into your phone, is to shut off the pin or password in Security,then it should let you. Im not sure what the permanent fix is for this, but thats what I got to do on mine.

i will try if it helps. One more thing if I use temporarily TWRP by fastboot then no issues at all.it will ask to enter password, then perfect. But if renter same issues come out. So sad
If I already have a pin and use that primarily, however I want to use the fingerprint scanner to make life easier. Will I have to take off the fingerprint each time I boot into recovery mode and use TWRP? Or can I use the pin and fingerprint together with no problems?
Any feedback would be much appreciated thank you.
You can keep both, however you can unlock TWRP only by PIN.
You can. You'll still need your PIN to decrypt /data in TWRP. And why are you still running 9.0.5? We're on 9.0.8 now.

Because I dont know how to update my phone once rooted without doing something wrong just didn't want to mess about with something I don't know I've rooted my phone's in the past but never updated my phone after cos people say it messes up.
Hey guys,
I am trying to find how to disable the forced encryption for our beloved phone. I've read that in some threads that they used it but no download link was given. It always bothers me that TWRP always ask for a password and the PIN does not work. I always have to switch to pattern to decrypt the data. Currently using the chinese TWRP and latest EU weekly (1.21). Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

TWRP won't ask for password if you remove the PIN before entering TWRP. This is what I do.

I do that too, It's just that I keep forgetting it and need to reboot to disable it. And sometimes I can't reboot in to system becomes firmware is corrupted and I need to reflash a ROM. Also, I prefer to use PIN as the pattern is annoying to use. Thanks for your reply!
