[Q] TWRP, Darkman DEODEXED 4.1.2 and encryption

Hi,
unfortunately I am not yet allowed to post directly in the development forums therefore a post in Q&A...
I rooted my tablet via Exynos Exploit and installed CWM. Unfortunately I downloaded the OTA update from Samsung which was a fix for this and lost my root. So I did use an alternative root method and got root again.
As I do not want to carry around my GN without encryption I started the encryption task but unfortunately I was stupid enough to cancel at the beginning of the enryption (do not ask..) and was stuck in the encryption process. No reset and reboot helped so I installed TWRP (encryption support) and did a full wipe.
I did install the deodexed stock rom from Darkman and everything is working fine now. The only problem I have is that I am not able to encrypt my GN again. Everytime I start the process I see a black screen with the android emblem but that's it. Is it not possible to use the encryption with TWRP, root or deodexed rom?
Thanks!

Maybe it is a stupid question but is encryption somehow limited if I use a deodexed rom or root?

Can I encrypt a rooted Note 5?

I just rooted my Note 5 and installed TWRP following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-note5/general/how-to-root-instructions-t3187895
My question is, can I go ahead and safely encrypt my Note 5 like you would when it's unrooted? Or is it not possible when it is rooted?
I tried encryption when I was rooted on Moar roam but when it booted kept getting unresponsive ui error had to boot into twrp and decrypt. I'd make a backup and try it worse case you have to decrypt with twrp and possible restore with your backup.

Trying to root. TWRP can't access internal storage on encrypted Note5.

I have a stock Note5 running PH9, and this phone is encrypted. I already had TWRP installed prior to encryptign.
I'm wanting to root the phone, but when I reboot to TWRP I can't see the files on the internal storage. Because of that, I can't flash the SuperSU zip file in order to root it.
Is there some way around this? Or is it not possible to be rooted and encrypted?

I would say remove the encryption and then root the phone first and then put the encryption back on.
Sprint Note 5 Root problems also
I have a Sprint Note 5 6.0.1 marsh. I tried to root but after Putting SuperSU into the twrp phone doesnt reboot I only get Samsung Note 5 sign with the red "Kernel is not SEANDRIOD ENFORCING" in the top left corner I cant turn the phone on. Where did I go wrong

How to flash Magisk on Nougat?

Hello. Just got my phone back from assistance and had my motherboard replaced after an unrecovable hard brick.
Atm I'm on Nougat and I don't plan to update to Oreo, I just wanna root my device again and I would like to do so using Magisk.
So, I've unlocked my bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.1.1-0 and then tried to flash Magisk 19.3 zip: problem is my phone is encrypted so it requires password for encrypting and it fails (as expected), then it wanna do a factory reset and reboot into TWRP which is unable to factory reset properly while eRecovery doesn't have a factory reset option so meh.
I didn't had problems installing Magisk on Oreo but right now I'm pretty tired and cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong on Nougat. Any hint?
How is that you can unlock bootloader in these months?
My father give me the BLL23, and is on stock Rom (nougat)
But I want to try Viper, and that's making me need root, then I need to unlock...
Have you tried Ianmacd's builds? They're friendly with Huawei devices. Sincerely it's weird that official Magisk doesn't work since that topjohnwu has fixed troubles with EMUI some time ago, but give it a try. And here's a dedicated wiki in way to troubleshoot most common errors.
Plus, in way to factory reset as the OS asks, stock recovery is needed as you'll know. Even if the phone is encrypted a password shouldn't be asked after flashing Magisk. That usually is asked by recovery, so i don't know about this.

Through DC-Unlocker at the cost of 4 euros.

Re-enable dm-verity

My brother asked me to root his phone, but later on he said he didn't want to format. I had already flash dm-verity disabler, so I'm now trying to re-enable it or something to boot back to stock ROM again, even if it means no root. Any thoughts? (Samsung Galaxy S7 GM-930F oreo)

You can encrypt your device though settings menu ( in security menu ). I have not used this method so can't say what happens to root. If twrp is installed you will have to reformat data again to flash anything.
Or
Flash stock firmware through Odin. This will generally remove root ( and twrp if installed ).
Always do a backup before doing anything.
