Encryption Unsucessful Fix

I am trying to install an Oreo based ROM lineage os 15.1
Currently data partition is ext4
Latest Twrp installed
But still whenever I try to install any Oreo ROM I get encryption unsuccessful message and even after factory reset with yes I get stuck on same thing again and again and if I try to change recovery after installing ROM the phone gets stuck in boot loop can anyone please help to solve this problem

I think this will solve ur issue
Yup I have also the same problem first of all do all these steps I think it resolve your issue:-
1. Go to settings of TWRP and reboot recovery.
2. Now format all the internal storage if u have important files in internal storage skip this step
3. After that go to advanced wipe and select system and data one by one and change its format to ext4.
4. Now advanced wipe everything.
5. Thats all now you can install lineage 15.1
I did the same and its working properly in my phone.
This problem occurs due to change of format of data to f2f so convert it to EXT4 and its fine

when you did advanced wipe to evertything is data, cache, system, etc? i already did this but still saying me that my phone was encrypted and i have to unlock with the pin or my account but i get a loop even if i put the correct user and password.

Normal procedure. Fastboot boot command
Boot to TWRP.
Reboot to TWRP through reboot menu.
Factory reset.
Advanced wipe: change data file format to ext4
Reboot to TWRP through reboot menu again.
Wipe, format data.
Now wipe system, cache and dalvik.
Reboot to TWRP again.
Flash rom.
Gapps.
Magisk if wanted.
Wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot and enjoy

Bro I already mentioned first of all you have to Factory reset but it will wipe all your data from internal storage so do have a back up for that. Encryption issue can only resolved by factory reset.

Bootloop on one of the partitions

Hello. I've got my oneplus 6 with twrp, magisk, and custom kernel. I am currently on partition B. When i change partition to A on twrp and reboot, my Phone is bootlooping few Times until it changes back to partition B.
My thoughts are that i screwed something in the process of instalation and i don't understand fully the idea and workings of the A/B partition. So i have got a question.
When i want to install update and i want to retain root and kernel and twrp, i Will do:
1.Download full 1gb+ update from xda when it Will be available
2.Reboot into twrp (it Will be on slot B, where i have my system now)
3.Flash rom(it Will flash on A probably? But i Will still be on B for now until next reboot? )
4.Flash twrp as it flashes on both partitions
5.Reboot to recovery (Will be on A partition now?)
6.Flash magisk(it flashes on A?)
7.Flash kernel(it flashes on A?)
8.Reboot to system (i am on A with my updated system now, my bootloop is fixed and there is old, working version of system on partition B?)
9.Repeat the process when new updates are available.

When you flash system partition contained in the zip, recovery change slot.. so:
1) in TWRP flash update zip, it will be flashed in the unused slot (so if you're on A it goes on B and vice versa
2) flash TWRP zip (this is because in full zip you're going to flash even the original boot IMG so you'll lose TWRP if you don't reflash it instantly after the update
3) reboot to recovery, the system will now change partition A to B or B to A obviously depend on what partition you are
4) now you can flash magisk and kernel and whatever you want
5) reboot to system and enjoy

Exactly what i wanted to know. Thanks for clarifying that, i forgot to reboot to recovery after flashing it, so it didn't change slot. Now i will remember. Cheers!

It doesn't matter... Whether it is beta or Stable..... If U want to access internal storage again via twrp( For again flash Rom in future without format internal storage) ...U definitely flash FE Disabler

Hi Sir,
i was in Stock miui9+unlocked bootloader+TWRP
I tried to follow these steps, but at some point i could no longer access the internal files, after doing step 9, was unable to see FE Disabler file.
Installed the miui 10, During 1st boot encryption appeared, i lost TWRP
What should i do from here? Can i install TWRP by fastboot again normaly, it will restore well to the miui10 beta that is in my system.
PS: I thing i made a mistake here, because e mark some boxs : (If you are not to access the internal storage even, then check if you have mounted the all the partitions in twrp.)
Thanks!

I think step no 6 can be skip

1st mount the first four boxes(Cache, System, Vendor,Data) in the mount screen
Whenever no access on internal...it means either u have nothing in internal or Permission not granted ...For nothing means u have to copy again... Permission issue means u have to reboot to recovery
(((Whenever u wipe everything (Include internal) or Format data ...it delete all files in internal ....So u have to connect the phone (From Twrp Screen) with Computer... again Copy those files to internal....and flash ...Bcz this Twrp can't read ur External Memory card ...so u have to copy those files again to internal... These steps only need during first installation..)))
New Twrp- enabled SD card access: (U can flash from SD card) http://www.mediafire.com/file/cbiy2084dylmb1h/twrp-3.2.3.0-beryllium-20180831_microSD.img.7z/file
If Force encryption appears on first boot ....U have to flash .. again from first ..... Otherwise Twrp is removed automatically ...and future Rom installation will be not easy..Bcz Internal ll be encrypted..so u can't access until u format it .... U have to do these 10 steps again in future ...If u done correctly these 10 now... future installation will be easy

custom Rom install never works!

Hey guys,
General custom Rom question. Each time I install any custom, following the directions 100% it will never install properly. No matter what when I reboot back into TWRP it doesn't mount data.
Here's some instructions for an example from the latest one I tried Havok.
What am I doing wrong?
How to install
+ if you are coming from OOS then you will need to wipe your data as well as internal storage due to encrypted data but if you had any custom ROM before then just wipe data. No need to wipe internal storage.
for updating
1: Flash ROM
2: Flash TWRP installer
3: reboot again to recovery to boot from second slot.
4: Flash Gapps
5: Flash magisk
6: wipe dalvik cache and reboot to system.
That's all.

use tool all in one to decrypt internal storage

Port rom not encrypting to use company portal (android devices running below android 7)

Can anyone help i can't understand ?
i flashed twrp with universal dm verity
then i wipe dalvik/art cache / system /data /vendor
then i format using format data by typing yes
then i copy custom rom either in internal storage or usb otg
then i flash the rom
then clean dalvik cache
then i format typing yes
then reboot to system
it erases my custom rom and reboot to recovery in case of miui 12.5 android 11
but incase of lineage os 18 it does not and boots in os perfectly
can anyone tell why?
also why it is not installing in system partition rather on the internal storage
i am using redmi note 4
rom: MIUI_GLOBAL_HMNOTE4_12.5.9.0-11
Note:why i need factory reset is to encrypt to use banking and fintech apps
factory reset enables encryption after installing
but if i not do the factory reset the does not encrypt in anyway but rom works
