If you're using a relatively new phone (shipped with android 9.0 or later versions), you most likely have an encrypted data partition. This kind of encryption is relatively new and is called FBE (File Based Encryption), where every file and folder are encrypted separately. (those random file names!)
To access your data partition through twrp, you need to input your lock screen (or boot-up pin) credentials when prompted at the beginning, if you don't receive such a warning at twrp startup, then your custom recovery image may simply not support decrypting storage. In that case use another one .

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
Hello ; in TWRP 3.1.0.0 when I make a backup, everything can be saved except the data which after 35% stops with error 255. So there is something that blocks. How can I know what to remove and / or replace and / or repair this item .
I have a Mate 9 AL29-C636-B188
thanks for the help

Check if you're encrypted, use TWRPs file manager and go to internal SD card and see if it looks OK.
If it has weird folders, you are encrypted and backup will be impossible. To decrypt you would have to Format Data in TWRP (will remove everything in /data including internal SD card), then use a modified boot image which removed encryption (SuperSU 2.82SR3+ And Magisk before 14 does this automatically, or modify it manually).
Then download hw data and public data for C636B188 from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ and flash in TWRP (public first) . After that you can backup.
Hi Ante0
I'm not encrypted
On the SD card, everything looks OK, no weird folder visible on the finder or even by Total Commander.
If I format everything & delete the recovery images, how do I restore?
I have an offline fimware C636B181 with UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_MHA_L29_HW_SPCSEAS.APP but is not it just updates?
Otherwise, is it possible to replace this data backup with that of another identical device (same OEM, same system ...) ?

You need to check if you're encrypted when you're in TWRP. If you already booted you'll be decrypted as it decrypts when you input pin.
To check in TWRP, use Advanced - File manager, then browse to /sdcard and see what it says. Alternatively you can check /data/app/, it should produce the same result.
Indeed, I think you're right :good: and I'm encrypted : / data / data only contains type files with names like 5uE + 5Le6p, Zs54sDTy0DB ... and the same ones in / sdcard ...
With Magisk, can we blow up this encryption without reformatting ?
Why was this data encrypted, nothing was asked of me ?

No, you have to Format Data. And as of Magisk 14.3 it doesn't remove encryption by default when you install Magisk. You'll have to either pull Magisk's github and build it but with "fileencryptioninline" added again, or unpack your boot image using Android Image Kitchen and change fileencryptioninline to encryptable in hi3660.fstab.
Encryption is turned on by default by Huawei.
Here is the commit: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/commit/ffa005e4abf71a0c1a14a8cfe8355a18d1f16616
Hello Ante0
Thank you for all this info but I did not understand everything (I just went from iPhone to Android, I'm not disappointed ... ) :
- in TWRP format his phone in full, internal memory and SD card = no problem
- werre can i find a modified boot image without encryption ? Create it through Magisk ?
- then by TWRP reinstall version C188 for C636: update.zip, update_data_full_public.zip then update_full_MHA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip
Hi
Found the solution, to make a backup of datas without error 255, following the information of Ante0 :good: : during the installation or re-installation or update by TWRP : just after the update, before rebooting, make the backup ( we are before the encryption of datas) ; I am trying to find the solution to make this backup later, thanks to Magisk
Hello guys , i just installed Asylum A3 Port but before i installed TWRP and when i started the phone i shows something about a encryption of my phone. Do you know how to pass it or bypass it ?
Go to TWRP, click on Wipe, then click on Format data (theres a specific button that says Format data) format it. Your internal storage should come back from 0 MB to much more, probably somewhere arround 11000. Then flash latest magisk zip (you can search in google for it) and it should decrypt your storage. Be aware that you have already lost all your files from internal storage.
I wanted to update my rooted Android Nougat to Oreo and also go from SuperSU to Magisk. During that process I discovered that TWRP recovery couldn't mount my internal storage.
I quickly saw on a lot of sites that it's a well-known issue, and I solved it by converting from ext4 to ext2 and back again. Now my phone is running perfect. All apps are installed, data and settings are restored with Titanium and root with Magisk is working fine. But then I remembered about the issue with TWRP and booted into recovery - just to discover the problem is back again. I can't mount my internal storage. So I can't flash zip files, I can't do a backup etc.
When I search xda or the web in general, I can't figure out why the problem has occured again. Also I can't find out how to fix it without losing all my data. Can anybody answer these two questions? Why is this happening again and how do I permanently fix it? And can it be with all my data on my phone - because I'm not able to do a backup.

The problem occurs when you use a ROM which encrypts the software or the ROM your flashing has an encrypted kernal. The only way out is to flash a ROM which doesn't encrypt. It is a known problem with TWRP and we have to wait for the TWRP team to update TWRP to handle quota allocation.
It seems the problem is solved for me. I flashed the TWRP version from this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77296102&postcount=1243
First I tried from Odin but it didn't work. Then I installed the TWRP app from Google Play and flashed the other file, rebooted to recovery, and it seems to work. I can mount my internal storage, make a backup etc. So this is the solution for me.
I had also similar problem of internal storage 0mb and i was not be able to mount my data
so when i flash color recovery by nobody
It's gone because it's allready patch by him
I think it's issue of encrypt data so just flash this recovery from nobody post

i think you must try with different file mngr, that one have no ability or permission to read system files

I'll re flash later and try a different file manager. Otherwise I'll install treble or re flash stock and start over

same problem, have you found solution ? please help me
TWRP sometimes can't mount the storage, the storage is encrypted, but don't worry. You can still flash your files and rewrite system partion. But in order to show the Storage, you have to use a different version of TWRP. Why am I saying this is mentioned following:
I installed the latest version of twrp, It didn't ask for any password patter to decrypt my storage. So , different XDA posts made me understand that , formatting everything, factory reset will decrypt my storage. And trust me, I have done it several time, several times my brother but it didn't decrypt my storage. I couldn't backup my ROM and without backing up my ROM, I didn't take the risk of flashing new ROM. I waited. This twrp couldn't even mount my system partion. So I seeked knowledge from different person. It took a lot of effort.
Then I learned that, I should change this version of TWRP. I changed to an older version and it didn't decrypt my internal storage after formatting, but it mounted my system partion. Since, it couldn't decrypt my internal storage, I couldn't take backup of my rom and save it to internal storage. so I inserted a pendrive in my phone, and saved the backup of my rom there.
Permanent Solution
Flashing DM Verity Force Encryption Disabler will decrypt your storage instantly. But in my case, it aroused another problem, None of the security measures of my phone worked afterwards. FOD, pin, password, pattern none of them worked. I don't know the reason but I don't suggest it with my little knowledge. but almost every rom flasher use them, so I thing I have to study about them to know how they work.
second and best option: start trying older version of TWRP, the good one will be the one to ask the password the recovery in the beginning. It will decrypt your internal storage.
I was brief here, if anyone doesn't understand these things, let me know, I will explain them step by step because I know the pain of being NEWB.
Hi,
I am using Island (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island) which create another user in my Pixel 3. Now I find that in TWRP 3.2.3-0 I can only decrypt the main user's internal storage (/data/media/0). In /data/media/10 for another user, all the directories and files are still encrypted. My phone can't boot into Android now, so I am wondering if I can access the second user's internal storage in recovery mode? Thanks for considering my problem.
(And in /data/data there are only data of main user's applications, where's the data of the second user's applications?)
