TWRP problem.. - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi..
I have SM-N950F, tried TWRP recovery given in the link, once I enter to the recovery it won't show any access to data, and when I try to choose a storage all of them tell me (0MB) like if it has been formatted! And can't format cache or data it just says error or something.
The real problem is once I enter TWRP the device will stack into bootloop if I rebooted it and no way to fix this but to flash a stock ROM via Odin -or that the way I know-.
I did check "OEM Unlock" and "USB Debugging" options on the device.
Can anyone help please?
All I want is to root my device.
Thanks in advance..

how did you solve the problem???
yeah same here. I think we should wait for the official release of the TWRP for Note8.

you have to format the data partition (internal storage) because TWRP cannot read encrypted storage. formatting data will wipe your internal storage so backup first.

[Q] Unable to delete parts on my HTC one M7 storage,also unable to get back to stock

Well, hello everybody on the xda forums,
My problem ist that I am unable to make an software update on my HTC One (meaning OTA).
In addition, I also am unable to get my storage back. What does that mean? Well, a large part of my internal storage is taken (look screenshots). I guess that the storage is taken by backus which have been made by TWRP recovery, some months ago. Now I am unable to get the storage free.
What I tried so far:
- Full system wipe (inside of the settings on the device)
- Format system with TWRP
- Data cache wipe
- Flashed RUU file
I put down some screenshots for better understanding. If something else is needed please just ask. I would be grateful for any help.
Happy Holidays !

Which RUU did you use? (link if possible) and did you relock your bootloader before using the RUU?
When you used recovery to wipe did you use the option "Format Data"? or just advanced wipe specific partitions? Which version of TWRP?

-RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1
(that is the name of the file)
-I did relock the bootloader before using the RUU, as you can see on the screenshots, the bootloader is relocked

-I used "Format Data"
-It was Version 2.6.3 back then as far as I remember, but I am pretty sure (but now I am on stock recovery)
THX in advance for any helpful advice or even a solution

That's not the right ruu for your device. Try this one http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...8_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353143_signed_2.exe
You will need to relock your bootloader :good:

Phone wipe with TWRP not possible - failed to mount /data - encryption problem?

Hi,
I've maybe bricked my phone. I've to enter the encryption key after reboot, but the phone tells me that I have to make a factory reset even the password is correct. I tried to wipe it with TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-nemo.img) but it failed because /data cannot be mounted.
How can I wipe the phone? Help please!

Solved: I've extracted the recovery image from the stock rom and flashed it via fastboot.

Go back to stock rom disable password of screen lock.
Reboot into twrp. format ur device. Flash lazyflasher so that ur device wont encrypt automatically again. Then reboot to system. All done?

Format the data to mount. Once you format the data you now can flash other ROM or enter in your actual system.

TWRP can't flash anything.

I recently dusted off my Nexus 6 to test a few projects on and wanted to update everything. But no matter what I try within TWRP, every zip/img fails. Any guidance on how to repair the filesystem would be helpful. The attached images is the error. For now it seems shamu has been beached:crying:
Running TWP 3.1.1.0
ROM: LineageOS, not sure which version
Android version: 7.1.1
Bootloader is unlocked
Update to the latest TWRP and see if that helps. You want version 3.2.1-0.
https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/
Thanks, I just tried that. I was able to flash the recovery img through adb, but any attempt to flash a zip through fails with the same errors
format data on twrp you will lose everything so do backup
belive ihave the same problen but when i formated data with twrp the problem is gone so got to twrp - wipe -format data Type yes

Your safest bet would be going for a factory image, and then reflash twrp and then try again to see if everything is allright.
Or try formatting data from TWRP, like person above me mentioned. USB Drive+otg adapter might come in handy to keep stuff you want to flash there

I'll give this a shot, seems likely it will rebuild the corrupted bits.

data decryption error

Hello, I installed AOSIP, everything works great but into twrp I can't decrypt data...
I've tried twrp R2.3.2.1 and R2.3.2.5, it says wrong password... I use the pin code of the ROM...
What can I do?

@Displayer
Your data from the last install appears to be encrypted. If you have a backup the easiest way to resolve the issue is to format your storage. You could also use the All in One tool and use its encryption removal option. Please keep in mind that it will wipe out all of your memes, so hopefully those are backed up.

I mean, i formatted to have a custom ROM booting, encrypting my data. I can use the phone, my pin code works in android but it's impossible to decrypt with TWRP...
Édit : found that message from argraur on telegram, so basically we have to wait for an updated twrp ? "Android release 9.0.0_r36 (r37) with May security patch has updated FBE encryption that breaks decryption in TWRP."

That doesn't even make sense. Twrp will not decrypt your phone.
Install Miui again, backup your data, to your desktop, by manually dragging your files over.
Go here and download DM-VERITY, FORCED ENCRYPTION, AND DISC QUOTA DISABLER you will use it to flash between updates or for dirty flashing Miui updates.
Next go back to TWRP the choose format and type yes reboot to TWRP ( you will se a message that says you have no OS are you sure?) Yes, reboot to TWRP
TWRP is not your issue, go read
and read the first comment here
Format storage, or wait for the TWRP and you still need to the format storage, Again a TWRP update will not resolve the issue. We have all had this exact issue.
I'm using another workaround:
With the all in one tool, we can flash .zip from a PC.
So I could install a custom kernel file from my pc directly into phone without loosing data.
Annoying thing is that I need the PC... Can't flash files that are in phone memory... Not such a big issue...
Another question, can I make a backup from the PC? Used to do it via twrp, but it is not safe with that issue...
