Hi All,
I had an N7000 device which is encrypted (phone and SD) in order to fulfil company mail syncing policy (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, with Goods for Enterprise and MobileIron installed). I had been on stock ROM all the while (4.1.2), until last weekend I decided to root it and remove all the bloatwares. Being unaware of the complication of flashing an encrypted device, I did the following while my phone remain encrypted:
1) flash the Philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191&nocache=1), latest TW version. I copied the flashable zip to SD card and flashed via stock recovery. It failed. I can locate the zip file in SD card but it just failed to flash (can't recalled the error message. some sort of verification failed or (bad))
2) I proceed to flash using ODIN. It was successful and I got the Philz recovery with yellow triangle on the startup.
3) I installed the TriangleAway apps and it prompt me that SuperSU is not available on my phone which could bricked my phone if I proceed.
4) I installed SuperSU, and when applying the root, I select custom recovery. It turned out my phone become soft brick (phone stuck at startup N7000 screen with yellow triangle). However I still able to get into Philz recovery mode and download mode.
5) Tried to reflash the same Philz recovery latest TW version using recovery mode but failed . I tried to mount the /data and /emmc but never success. I reflash the same version of Philz recovery with Odin successfully but phone still soft bricked. I end up flashing older version of Philz recovery (TW version as well) and the phone able to boot as normal finally.
6) I run the SuperSU again and this time choose root Normal mode. Then I applied the Triangle away successfully and removed the bloatwares with clean master.
7) Afterwards, I noticed my company mail syncing is gone and decided to unroot (remove SuperSU). Finally syncing is back as normal again.
8) I tried to create nandroid backup through Philz recovery but failed when it trying to backup some partition (can't remember exactly which one)
My questions:
a) Is it normal I not able to mount /data and /emmc partition in recovery if my device is encrypted?
b) Is encrypted phone not able to do nandroid backup?
c) If I want to flash custom ROM on encrypted device, what are the correct steps?
d) Can I flash a custom ROM then unroot the phone so that the Microsoft exchange Sync, MobileIron, Goods for enterprise would work normally? As I understand, these apps not working if root is detected.
Thanks in advance for help!

Hello XDAs
I'm middle of the way on rooting my phone (Nexus One, Android 2.3.4) & flashing a custom rom (cm7 passion-V106)
I follow the tutorial at below & i've done most of the steps
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
Here is what i've done,
-Unlocking the Bootloader
-Installing a Custom Recovery Image both Amon_Ra's Recovery & ClockworkMod Recovery but Amon_Ra is not working.... i unable to boot into Amon_Ra...
-Flashing Radio 5.08.00.04 but i receive a error message that the version is not supported
- Flashing CyanogenMod via ClockworkMod Recovery but i didn't receive install sucessfull message, it only return me back to ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
- Flashing Google Addon Apps via ClockworkMod Recovery - the only flashing that i receive install complete message
After i've done the process above and its come out that i have stuck on the CM7 Loading screen (Blue boot animation screen)
There is a few thing i've noticed which might be the problem...
1:The S_Lock is till On when i boot into Bootloader mode
2: My phone is still unrooted and i unable to use the ROM Manager from Apps Market.
3: sometimes i will not able to access ClockworkMod, it only shows me the " ! " Sign with an Android logo next to it.
Can someone help me with this... i'm stuck now and unable to turn on my phone...

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't give you s-off or root. You would need a rooted rom to run root apps/superuser.
You need to wipe everything and flash the rom again in recovery (you can't have both recoveries installed at once btw). Your hboot may need updating.
Flash the radio via fastboot so you don't brick your phone. Download it again in case your version is corrupt. You might wanna flash the recovery again.
Might be easier to go back to your nandroid backup (that you must have made, right?) and have a working phone for a while until you read around the subject.
*edit* or just read the wiki lol
Hi All
I wanted to flash a custom ROM to Androd 4.3, but anything I do, the device always boots to the 'odin mode' screen.
The device is SUrooted, but knox is still present. I also renamed the /system/etc/install_recovery.sh, the other file was not present...
I tried different combinations with ODIN to flash CWM/TWRP, but my device never wants to boot into recovery
It might be because of the bootloader?
Is there any way to make the recovery mode work or to unlock/change the bootloader?
(I don't care about the warrenty, I just want to flash a custom ROM.... I also don't care if I loose data - so shall I try without a recovery mode?
Thanks for any help

Flash whit CF-auto-root. Download SU form anywhere but not playstore. Install it and disable Knox (Optional user root explorer, search for Knox and delete it)
Hope that will help.
Search forum for this file and flash DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1. Ô All details are within the forum it will remove all the Knot files from device...
no script without recovery
Hi both
Thanks for the help, but
- where do I get a non-playstore superSU app from? I found .zip file, but how can I install them without recovery mode?
- and you mean to just search for any knox files and just delete them via a root exploer applciation also like total commander?
- same for the script. How can I use the script if I cannot get into recovery mode?
Is there anything I could simply flash with odin, or execute from within the OS?
Or do I need terminal emulator etc?
thanks
solved
OK, forget my last post, I foudn the solution:
It works with Odin 3.09
I used 3.07 before, but now I succeeded to get into recovery mode (TWRP), flash SU, remove knox etc
The only downside: after a factory reset (for flashing ROM), the device wouldn't boot into TWRP any more (freeze) and I had to reflash an older version of CWM. And the factory reset wiped my internal SD card, so I had to use an external for flashing ROM etc
thanks anyways
I can't use my internal storage!! Cant copy anything into it!! It does show that thier is internal storage shows that its free but cant copy anything into it??? I have twrp in my phone but after a factory reset in vanished!! I rooted my phone installed than uninstalled it!!! Any help?
Next time, root and install TWRP again!
Why the hell do you need to ****ed up your phone guys? Is the stock firmware not enough for you?
I'm not sure whether he wants to copy stuff into internal storage via TWRP recovery or while the phone is booted up.
Mounting issue usually means you tried to factory reset via TWRP when it probably should of been done via unlock bootloader method.
I don't think I ever did factory reset via TWRP when upgrading from Marshmallow to Nougat + Debranding + Root.
If u are using the old (wrong) twrp recovery you are not able to use your internalstorage while booted into recovery, but it should be accesable if u boot into android.
Since there is only systemless root for our device your system partition dont get touched while rooting, but if u flash SuperSu.zip which is not specially for EMUI5 (there is a special one), you maybe tried the wrong SuperSu.zip file and you "****ed" up your SystemPartition - you need to flash the right system.img now - just use official firmware and start rooting from scratch.
What you do now?

Flash the rollback package.
Install desired firmware.
Unlock Bootloader
Flash TWRP
Flash SuperSu.zip for EMUI5 in TWRP.
Thanks for all of you guys!!! I have just got out of this ****!!!
The problem was i was not able to copy anything into my internal storage no even install apps from play store!!! !!! But it is resolved!!! Thanks for you reply guys
Summary:
1. Flash factory image onto phone successfully
2. Install twrp and make a backup
3. Restore backup after reboot and I'm stuck in a bootloop
I have a new fi Moto x4 running Android 8.1 that I'm attempting to set up. I've reset this phone a bunch of times so here is the standards process:
1. Flash factory firmware as shown in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348
I'm using: PAYTON_FI_OPW28.46-13_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
2. After flashing, start up the phone and it works fine.
3. Reboot into the bootloader and boot to twrp using: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img
4. Copy in the twrp install file using: adb push twrp-installer-payton-3.2.3-1.zip /sdcard
5. Install the zip via the twrp Install function
6. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recovery
7. Use the twrp Backup function to create a backup of the Boot, Data and System partitions on Internal Storage (plenty of space).
8. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recover
9. Use the twrp Restore function to restore the backup. Finishes fine.
10. Reboot phone to system but the load won't finish. Phone just alternates between the Android One and the Motorola splash screens. Left it for an hour at one point just to be sure. No love.
Things I have tried:
1. Using twrp via fastboot boot and a hard install
2. Making backups to the internal and external memory cards
3. Changing the partitions in the backup
4. Wiping everything except the external sim card before performing a restore
If anyone has any thoughts I would love to here them.
Thank you!
I'm having a similar problem and found this old thread. I am on stock pie rooted and made a twrp backup this morning so that I could try flashing some custom ROMs. After successfully installing a custom ROM I attempted to restore the backup and return to stock but just get bootloop. I am able to get back to to twrp and the phone will boot after a factory reset, but even if I just restore data I get bootloop. I'm wondering what I am doing wrong with restoring the backup. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I have the same problem as you are. After I finished install all applications, I made a backup with twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then next day I restore it from the backup, after finished backup, it goes to bootloop forever. My version is OPWS28.46.21.12, I download stock rom OPW28.46-13 but afraid to flash this rom since it is the lower version might be break the phone if not backward compatible. Then I search the web and found your message and follow this side fund a higher version of the stock rom OPWS28.46-21-14. I download it and flash it. After flashing complete and boot up, it saying new OTA update available, I don't want to update the rom since I want my phone rom version is same as the stock rom I have downloaded into my PC just in case in the future I accidentally doing something wrong I can flash back the stock rom without worrying the backward compatibility problem.

I'm a bit slow on the response - but my first thought is manually flash stock rom over your restore without wiping data
I'm able flash the latest stock rom of FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 and reinstall twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then I restore data only that backup from previous rom, I get bootloop again after restore the data only from TWRP. The I reflash FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 again, install twrp and root it with Magisk. Restore data from cloud google drive automatically. And this time is successfully without bootloop.
Hello friends, I've been trying to fix a giant problem with my son's cell phone for three days ... He asked me to rotate it, but I brickee it, I comment on what happens and what I did:
specs:
Glaxy A6 + (SM-A605GN)
1-install TWRP by ODIN (Correct installation)
2-Install TWRP files "force_encryption_disabler, RMM State Bypass and non-verity-opt-encrypt (I think here is my mistake, since I do not know the functions of these files, in my time of Flasheo does not exist) I take it out of this tutorial: androidinfotech.com/root-samsung-galaxy-a6-plus-2018-sm-a605f-fn-gn-pie/[/url])
Error 3-First; I didn't have access to the internal memory in the TWRP, so I followed this tutorial youtube.com/watch?v=bqyVQCGlyqs[/url]) to change the partition system so I could access the internal memory correctly
4- Install the Magisk correctly through the TWRP
5- Restart (And my hell began) ...
a- TWRP informs me that I did not have OS installed on reboot
b- When restarting the screen it tells me: Set guarantee bit: Kernel (in yellow)
c- Try to install the Firmware Stock by Odin, but I can't, it doesn't throw me an error, but it doesn't install anything at all, IT KEEPS ME THE TWRP INTACT
d-Download a Modified ROM, the installation by TWRP and it was installed correctly, but the SIM card does not work (I assume it is because it has a different modem) and I get an error for almost everything L
I want to go back to the Stock ROM but ODIN does nothing ... Please I need your help.
I can access Download and TWRP mode.
discuss the translation ...
Friends, any ideas ?? ... any help is appreciated.
As you already flashed twrp, so i think you know how to go download mode. Just see any youtube video how to flash stock rom on s8/s9. Download your latest firmwere from sammobile or samfrew and flash. Procedure is same as s8 or s9.

Friend, that's the problem, ODIN doesn't let me install the Stock Rom, at the end of the flash process with Odin, the phone remains intact (with the TWRP intact)

What kind of error? or it flashes perfectly? Give us something.. Photo of odin and your phone's download mode screen...
When you first time booted twrp, you needed to click on wipe > format data. This will decrypt your phone (and it wipe your internat storage) then you can flash rmm and no verity. After that, click on reboot > recovery and then reboot > system (or flash magisk). Recommended to flash latest rmm and no verity.
