I had MIUI 11 installed. I flashed the latest firmware 9.9.3, installed TWRP, and flashed the official Pixel Experience ROM 10 along with fcrypt disabler but it was stuck in the boot loop. So I flashed only the ROM file again and wiped dalvik&cache. The ROM is working perfectly.
But now I wanted to flash the magisk root and when I entered TWRP, it didn't ask me for a password even though I set a pin for my device. When I saw my storage, everything was encrypted.
So do I have to format my storage in order to get decrypted or did I miss any steps? Please advice.

It's not your fault. There is a problem with pixel experience 10. Now you have one option. Use a external memory. And install what you want.
If you flas fcrypt disabler, then you have to format your internal storage. Which is disgusting.

Will there be any issues if I connect external USB and install magisk because the whole storage is encrypted?

I have the TX1541 model, 16GB ROM. I just got the device a few hours ago so here's a quick rundown of exactly what I have done with it so far.
1. Boot
2. Go through google setup
3. Install marshmallow update
4. Format Sandisk 32GB SDCard as internal storage
5. Enable Developer options, allow OEM unlock, enable USB Debugging
6. Move latest CM13 nightly and OpenGApps to internal storage using MTP
7. Boot into fastboot
8. Unlock bootloader successfully
9. Flash latest TWRP build (twrp-osprey-3.0.2-r1) successfully
10. Reboot into recovery
11. Swipe to allow TWRP to allow modifications
Now, I can't install any of the zips I moved on the device earlier because according to the log neither "storage" nor "/data" can be mounted. So obviously, if I go to Install -> Select Storage everything has "0MB" and wiping doesn't work. . Oh yeah and MTP doesn't work either so I can't really get any files on the device ATM, maybe using push in fastbooot...
I'd appreciate any help on this...
Don't wipe anything yet... Once you boot into TWRP once and allow changes to system, go to Reboot menu and reboot to Recovery again. Test to see if you can see storage now...
Encrypted?
When you format your SD card as internal, it encrypts it so that you can't use it with other phones, and it protects your data.
If you encrypted it and then installed TRWP you've essentially changed the phone, you won't be able to access it without booting into the android OS that you encrypted it on.
Hope that it wasn't what you did. Otherwise the only way in is to load it into android, connect to the computer, and get the files from there.

Hi
You found solution to this problem :C??
I have the same problem :crying:
This is a known issue in the official version... @Alberto97 has submitted the fixes, we just need to wait until it's merged into official build.
An unofficial build with the fixes applied is available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com//2...t/twrp-twrp-moto-g-2015-t3170537/post71386235
Hey guys just want to know if there's a way to avoid samsung encrypting the internal storage. I know there's the no-verity-opt-encrypt but I read even if I flash that and proceed to root with magisk the internal storage will be encrypted anyways. I'd like to have it encryption free with magisk without having to go for a custom rom. Is that possible?

You cannot i'm afraid it's part of the stock image, the applicable files are weaved throughout the stock firmware, no one has been able to break Samsungs encryption on a stock image or turn it off.
Wiping internal storage is the only way to get rid of it, Hence the TWRP method of wiping internal storage then flashing a custom Rom.
Yeah last time I formated data, got magisk installed right away. But of course months later I want to install some module and get the can't mount data error. So that means i'd have to "format data" on twrp and get magisk and the module installed before the first boot, right?

Possibly but if i remember correctly there's a modified version of TWRP which can handle the encrypted internal storage they way you want.

Tried to install that one but yeah still can't mount data. Edit: Well not sure if it was the twrp change or so but now managed to be able to install the module but from magisk itself. Thanks!
I upgraded to the latest Q4 beta. When doing this following instructions when flashing in TWRP it said to flash the file from USB otg since you couldn't flash from internal storage.
my question is, once you have Q installed as I do can you never flash files from internal storage? i assume this must be the case, or i have something very wrong with what i'm doing. I can't mount my internal storage at all in TWRP or see any of the files.

Everything works but decryption.
We may have to wait until official q comes before decryption works.
You may find ways to run unencrypted using search function. I know it has been talked about in the forum.

yes, i know what you are saying with encryption when you can't decrypt it still shows everything with crazy decrypted numbers like 8784322qzzwerei, etc. Even if i turn off my security and boot into twrp (i'm running the latest version i believe 3.3.1-50 according to the twrp menu) it can't see anything on internal storage. when you go to select storage it shows 0mb under internal storage. if i plug in a usb otg it immediately shows and reads that.
if i want to select a file it says select file from internal storage (0 mb)
I have things installed to slot A. these slots i'm not used to using but maybe someone when it boots to twrp its not on the right slot or something? any ideas?

Has the rom booted yet? Did u wipe? Nevermind forgot on q it just shows 0mb
U can try switching slots but it might put u back to rom u had before.
As was previously stated, TWRP cannot decrypt data on q. TWRP will have to be updated to address this. It will be the same for everyone.
Once you boot into rom, all your data will be accessible.
Maybe try fastboot boot twrp.img as that may allow decryption

even if i remove all encryption from my device the system still shows at 0mb. which means you can't flash anything in twrp from the sd card.
i'm trying to figure out why i can't get magisk vanced to work and i assume it is because the flashing in magisk isn't occurring correctly.
so does everyone show a system in twrp for q at 0mb? if what i have is normal and the norm, fine but that was the reason for this thread to list the differences/limitations of twrp in q.
I believe TWRP can't access the internal sdcard due to the change in Q called Scoped Storage:
https://developer.android.com/preview/privacy/scoped-storage
This is also why Magisk vanced isn't installing properly

i agree.
the problem is, some are reporting no problems with youtube vanced through magisk. others are claiming that they can see the data on their sd card. i have no idea, maybe some of these people don't even have the q beta installed.

I've been on DP2, 3, and now 4 and never been able to see internal in TWRP. All flashes have had to be done via OTG after the initial Q install.

i remove all fingerprints/pins and have no security. i should be able to boot into TWRP and see data then correct?

Currently decrypted state, and running the device unencrypted aren't the same. Even with your fingerprints pins removed if you look in Settings/Security you'll see your device still shows as encrypted.
OnePlus 7 forces encryption by default. To run your device unencrypted you have to format the internal storage (wipes everything pictures media etc) and make sure you flash a special disable force encrypt zip every time you flash anything system related in TWRP.
Its a lengthy process to get it running unencrypted and if you forget to flash the special script even one time OP7P will force encrypt on boot and you have to start over. Its not for everybody but I know a lot of people running this way, myself included.
This should all be fixed with and update to TWRP but who knows how long that will take.
Not sure if this is worth anything or not, but it's decryption related: https://gist.github.com/mauronofrio/af29bad34ad87a1a957d193794f0bf5f

So if I want to "dirty flash" a rom on android q, is it still possible with data encrypted or should I format internal storage anyway ? (and clean flash...)

On my Pixel (original) with TWRP 3.3.0-0 and Q, I am able to do everything normally, including decrypting, dirty flash, cutstom ROMs, factory, nandroids, etc .... However, /system and /vendor won't mount. But, it works anyway!
The scoped storage is still a pain in the butt.
Hi all,
In my quest to breathe more life into my OP6, I've decided to install TWRP and Magisk. Once doing so, it seems that I cannot install apps or update some already preloaded apps - I get an error message saying that the app can't be downloaded and I need to install to a SD card or external USB storage.
The exact error reads: App requires external storage. (insert app name) can't be downloaded. Insert an SD card or USB storage with sufficient storage, and try again.
I tried to Google a solution but didn't really find anything. I've already tried to do a wipe with TWRP and reflashed the recovery and Magisk but am still getting the same error. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or missing a setting.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to stick to OOS but am not opposed to another ROM.
Currently on OOS 10.3.4, TWRP 3.4.0, and Magisk 20.4. Thanks.
Same here.

Finally got it to fix itself after several system and dalvik wipes. Hope that works for you too. Also had to re-flash Magisk after every wipe.
Well... Here is the solution:
Download stock ROM ( 10.3.2 or higher). Download latest TWRP.zip from @mauronofrio - Link HERE
Then.
1. Boot to TWRP recovery
2. Format data.. (say yes when it's asked)
3. reboot to recovery
4. Move Stock ROM and downloaded TWRP to your internal sdcard.
5. Flash Stock ROM.zip + TWRP.zip -> reboot to recovery -> Flash Stock ROM.
6. Boot to Stock recovery
7. erase everything in your internal SD card. (Trivial part)
8. Boot to System and set your device.
Voila.
After this... You can flash TWRP and Magisk as it's recommended in several guides for enchilada....
That worked for me.

same problem in my one plus 5 and i did these simple steps and the problem was fixed
1 open settings
2 about phone
3 tap 5/6 times until you are a developer message pop up
4 go back from about phone and go to system
5 you see developer option then open it
6 scroll down until you see (force allow apps on external) and turn on
hope these steps fixed your problem too...
I have ArrowOS 12 installed, with 11 the updates went well but now if I try to update i get the messages in the title. I tried to repair the filesystem, changed it from ext4 to ext2 and ext4 back again, wipe basically everything, can't restore anything, really have no idea of what I should do more.
TWRP is on 3.5.2_11.0, I have no personal files on the phone so anything is ok.

All custom recoveries (TWRP, OrangeFox) cannot decrypt Android 12 data in the meantime, so you will not see any internal storage and cannot mount.
If you want your data, you can try ArrowOS 11, restore data into ArrowOS 11, make sure data works in ArrowOS 11 system boot, then flash ArrowOS 12 without format data.
Some said you can do that, but there's chance it will fail, but since your phone has no personal files, you can try.
There is update of TWRP 3.6.0_11.0

Custom recoveries cannot decrypt internal storage, but can read microSD cards and USB OTG. Remember Poco X3 Pro has microSD slot.
You can also use ADB sideload command in custom recoveries to flash zip files, so ROM updates can be installed this way.
Almost all function of custom recoveries are working, except decrypting internal storage.
