I've flashed the Kali Nethunter .zip on top of the Chrome ROM. It didn't boot correctly and after that I wanted to go back to TWRP and restore my back-up. And it suddenly is asking for a decryption password. When I fill in: "default_password" it starts decrypting with alot of error messages.
Mainly being: E: Unable to stat /data/xxx/xxx/xxxx. xxx
When it's done it brings me back to the TWRP screen. I'm able to access /system but not /sdcard or /data.
Does anyone have an idea?
Is default password your password or the twrp default password?
MAybe you should reflash your ROM.over usb and see if it boots.
You said "did not boot correctly" vs "did not boot"
If you can get into your system, turn off lock screen passwords and your phone will not require a password to decrypt at boot, and TWRP won't need a password to access your userdata partition.

On my Nexus 6 I constantly see the password prompt upon boot of TWRP;however, by canceling it, I was able to flash ROMs, gapps, etc. One thing that irritated me was not being able to do a backup as it kept giving an error about mounting the system. Since the device is encrypted and I used a pattern lock, I figured out that you must type the password in as shown in the attached image...

In the past I've used CWM but with my new Moto G 2014 Dual SIM, I wanted to use encryption and I read that TWRP works with that, so I installed it but when I boot into it, it doesn't ask me for my password and /data is inaccessible (naturally!). I couldn't see any option to select to enter my password to decrypt it either. I flashed it with TWRP2801-titan-motog-2014.img
I understand that TWRP doesn't support Lollipop encryption yet but thought it did KitKat?

Thanks, that's great. I can't get it to install though, as it shows I already have TWRP 2.8.0.1 installed and when I tap Recover Version to Install it doesn't list anything under Choose Version to Install and if I tap Install Recovery, that doesn't do anything either.
OK, I've installed it via the manual fastboot method now and it shows v2.8.3.0 but I still can't access /data. If I go to Mount and tap /data it doesn't do anything and if I tap /system it restarts TWRP, then locks itself and turns off the screen and when I press the volume buttons to turn it back on, it shows a padlock and a swipe to unlock. When I do that and check Mount, /data and /system are still not mounted.
The log screen shows:
Unable to mount /data
Unable to mount storage
Unable to mount /data/media during GUI startup
Full SELinux support is present
Failed to get default contexts and file mode for storage files
Unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps when trying to read settings file

Thanks but I get the same results with that I'm afraid.
Just checking if there's any news on this? I'm not sure where TWRP is meant to prompt for the decryption password but I haven't seen any prompt or option for that anywhere.
I have a Moto X2 with Android 6.0 and TWRP 3.0.2
I just turned on full disk encryption and set a pattern screen lock.
The first time I enter TWRP, it asked me for the pattern. However, after that, when I reboot into TWRP, it doesn't ask for pattern anymore.
I can't find any option about forget password or ask every time in twrp.
I am afraid others can just enter TWRP and copy my files through ADB or MTP. So is there a way to solve that?
BTW. I read the principle of Android full disk encryption. I guess TWRP already stored my master key somewhere, but I can't find it.
Hi, i'm just installed Tesla-gemini-7.1.2.RC.v4.3-Official-20170708-1851 on xiaomi mi5
After reboot my device ask for pattern to startup my phone, but it didn't accept my pattern, it says wrong pattern and i can't access my files.
But when i try to enter my pattern on TWRP to access my files. it works.
Any advice to recover my device, or disable encryption on my device using TWRP ?
Currently i'm backup my files using TWRP MTP mode, just in case i fail my last attemp, because unfortunetly i'm only have 1 attem to try unlock my device on boot, before it erase all my files.
Have try wipe data factory reset, and flash other rom but still unable to boot into system, the system still need pattern to startup the phone
Okay, this problem fixed :
1. Reboot to TWRP and Enter pattern
2. Backup your's data using MTP mode on Mount menu to PC
3. Reboot again to TWRP and don't enter your password or pattern (click cancel)
4. Wipe Data and Cache (THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA INCLUDING ON SDCARD !!!!!) make sure all your important data backed up
5. Reboot to recovery and mount to MTP mode
6. Copy ROM to phone and install it.
Greetings All,
I recently was given a Moto G6 (XT1925-6) that I am having some issues with.
I have unlocked the bootloader, and attempted to install the TWRP recovery, using fastboot (On Linux).
The installed recovery partition (twrp-3.6.2-0-ali.img) will boot once.
If I boot the system, the recovery partition appears to be cleared
('no command' appears when selected).
Any ideas what might be the problem?
Also, where is the 'Hello Moto' boot animation kept?
It USED to be /system/media/bootanimation.zip.
Removing this file does NOT stop this major annoyance...
I Also note that TWRP cannot mount DATA (asks for password).
I CAN format DATA from TWRP,, but as soon as the system restarts,
DATA gets re-encrypted, and can no longer be read...
Thanx.

Ok, figured out that a custom BOOT.IMG was needed to keep the recovery from being zapped.
Created one using Magisk and that solved the disappearing TWRP.
Also, any suggestions on how to get TWRP to be able to mount the DATA partition?
I tried setting a screen lock PIN in the OS.
This resulted in a number pad (rather than a regular keyboard) appearing in TWRP.
However, TWRP could not unlock using this pin.
Still have no idea where the 'Hello Moto' is being loaded from...
Thanx.
