I was running TWRP 3.1.1 on my Redmi 4x and i decided to update it to TWRP 3.2.1
I installed the TWRP 3.2.1 by going to recovery>install>install boot image>then install to recovery partition
After i installed it and i booted to recovery, it's already updated to TWRP 3.2.1 but my pattern for twrp is not accepted. Whenever i enter my pattern it will have an error that is failed to decrypt because of a wrong pattern. I didnt even change my pattern from 3.1.1 but somehow when i updated to 3.2.1 my pattern is not accepted.
So now i cant decrypt the internal storage.
Help please

Press back button on the page where twrp is asking for patter then go to wipe then format your data . This should solve the issue .

Enter twrp. After that press back button,, enable mtp on mount. And connect your phone to ext storage. Backup your files and rom. After backup. Just format it,,,
Important: backup rom first than files

Hey guys,
My work switched to Google Apps for their email so i wanted to test it out on my phone. Doing so required them to encrypt my phone. What this appears to have done is encrypt the data partition. So now when i go into (TWRP) recovery and try to do a backup / wipe / or anything else, it says it is "Unable to mount /sdcard" I'm unable to do a factory reset of any kind so i'm essentially stuck on this rom (ARHD) until i can figure out how to wipe data and get the /sdcard to be not encrypted. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm imagining that with the modified recovery not being able to access the data partition that i'm going to have to do some adb type stuff?
Please help! I want to keep flashing new roms!
Anyone??
I think you can't decrypt your data partition...
Did you try to wipe your data partition with the latest TWRP?

That's the thing, the recovery can't mount /sdcard so wiping isn't an option from recovery

Hi! Only TWRP recovery can solve your issue just do this...
Boot to TWRP recovery->Wipe
From there there are 2 options the left is the advance wipe and on the right is Format Data
Just select the format data button and it should reformat the whole data partition.
1st one would prompt so many errors and reformat then reformat it again 1 time and it should fully reformat your phone.
In theory it should reformat data partition even when encrypted but just in case it fails and I won't be able to go back to this thread just boot in bootloader and type
"fastboot erase userdata"
Well none of that works. TWRP doesn't support decryption yet for this device.

What I instructed basically doesn't decrypt the partition. It reformats it.

I know what you instructed, it doesn't work. Only way I got it to work. Flash the stock recovery. Boot into system. Take off the encryption, phone reboots and removes the encryption, data is formatted. Then flash TWRP again.
I basically ran into this exact problem. I was hoping that I'd still be able to back up the encrypted device, but forget about it. What a pain in the ass.
Someone should make add something to the guides about how encrypting your device makes nandroid backups impossible.
I updated my twrp from 2.7.1 to 2.8.3.0. I haven't flashed a rom in a while, so I don't know for sure that it was working on the old one but I did install CM11 using 2.7.1. Now with 2.8.3 when I go into recovery and wipe is says it worked, but in red there is the error: "E: unable to mount /system".
I tried to repair it with twrp, using format /system as ext4, then wipe and it seems to work and mount correctly, but if I restart, into recovery the /system no longer mounts and gives the same error if I try to wipe it. When I select repair, it says the partition is 0mb. When I format as ext4 it then shows as the correct size (~1.8GB).
So bottom line is that when I try to flash a new rom, it gets stuck at the formating /system step. I think the problem is with twrp but I'm not sure. Any ideas what to do?
I have a T-mobile HTC one M7. It was CM11, but everything is wiped. TWRP 2.8.3. S-off unlocked bootloader.
Thanks!

first of all the most reliable version of TWRP recovery is stil 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4, most of the users on here would agree with me on that, newer is not always better.
Also, have you tried the format data option, select wipe then format data button, be warned though, this will wipe everything including your sdcard (internal) if this option works you will then have to sideload or push a rom to your device before you can flash.

Agree 100% but CM11 require at least 2.7.0.8 to be flashed (block:by-name) and recommended version of twrp to flash CM11 is 2.7.1.2 http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_m7
If not flashing a rom like CM11 still recommend using 2.6.3.3/.4 even if there are newer version.
They are talking about this in ARHD thread.
Seems a updater script problem.

Thanks for the link. I tried to find similar threads, but couldn't. They are having the same problem but with a different rom (I was trying to flash Sky Dragon android L). The solution on that thread was to use TWRP 2.6.3.3, but some people reported having no problems with 2.8.3. The install instructions for Sky Dragon say use the latest twrp but doesn't specify a version. I guess I could try TWRP 2.6.3.3 but I'm not sure if it will work since CM requires 2.7.1.
The other solution was to mount the partition manually before flashing using the terminal in recovery. This command was suggested:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
Haven't tried any of these solution myself. After 3 hours and wiping my entire data partition by accident, I USB-OTG copied my nandroid backup to my phone and did a complete recovery. Luckily the restore process didn't care about mounting /system. I may try this again with manual mounting, but likely I will wait for a twrp update. I'm not sure if twrp 2.6 supports usb-otg so it will be a pain in the ass if I wipe /data again by accident.
Random side note for anyone googling this, if you accidently wipe all the data from your sdcard and have to copy the nandroid backup for twrp, the the restore function won't recognize the files unless they are in exactly the right directory. The best way to get this is to copy the entire TWRP directory when saving your backup in the first place so you can just copy it back. If you didn't do that then just run a nandroid backup of the blank sdcard and it will recreate the folder structure for you. Then you copy the files into the correct folder.

Exactly this. I do not know the exact reason CM needs 2.7.1 so therefore I don't know if Sky Dragon needs it as well. The instructions just say use the latest twrp.

I did wipe my entire data partition (by accident), but I did not try to format it as ext4. I did format /system to ext4 (so now the partition was displaying correctly as ~1.8gb). The used the twrp repair, then wipe It seemed to work, but if I restarted right then, without even trying to flash the rom, the /system would not mount on reboot to recovery and would show as 0mb. I used all reasonable combinations and permutations of the wipe, repair and format functions on system, nothing worked.
I finally copied my nandroid backup via usb-otg and recovered back to cm11.
hi
i have a problem with formatting Data in twrp recovery on huawei P9 eva-L09C432B182

ive tried this ROM:

and it installs, but i get message after boot:

i can actually see navi bar for a sec and volume buttons still work(can set alarm and sound loudness)
and here is install image of Rom:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67361401/IMG_20170309_175844.jpg
only error is mount: failed to mount /dev/block/dm-0 at /dat: No such file or directory
so i can only use twrp recovery and fastboot to fix this.
mkfs.f2fs -t 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p42 process ended with error: 255
unable to wipe Data.
error changing file system.
every other is good for format(System and Cache) to f2fs and ext4 just Data folder has problem with format but wipe works :crying:

reset what excatly? factory reset works but Data is in ext4 format. i can wipe it but cant format it.
what if i erase this mmblck0p42 file and then flash twrp in fastboot will the file be reinstalled or will it be after i flash ROM in recovery again?
i made a mistake by formatting it in first place from f2fs to ext4 but before even factory reset didnt work, now it works and only think is left is this encryption error.

Why is your data partition ext4?
Normally it is on each p9 device f2fs.
This can only occur if you were on Nougat between and had installed the TWRP-n which has no Decryption Support and if you had by yourself formated data with this TWRP to ext4.
To install NewWorld Rom you must be on Marshmallow Firmware (because of Android 6 Bootloader) and your data partition must be f2fs.
In the meantime there's a new TWRP for Android 7, which has already Decryption Support.
But you cannot use this TWRP for installing NewWorld. You must have the one, which I have linked in my OP.
On which Firmware or Rom have you been, before you tried to install NewWorld?
If you were on Nougat, NewWorld could not flashed, cause you must be on Marshmallow.
Please answer my questions that I can realize in which situation you are.
i have Marshmallow Firmware and yes i formatted data to ext4 myself
the problem occured when i wanted to get nougat but OTA update failed but it booted back into 6.0 normally just root didnt work so i went in TWRP and flashed supersu 2.79 which i had before, then i was stuck in bootloop, manged to get to fastboot but Hisuite says no update packeg for this phone. i flashed back stock recovery and tryed to factory reset but didnt work, flashed twrp back and factory reset then it said data format error so i went and changed it to ext4 after factory reset worked but i cant put it back to f2fs.
aldo i wiped all cache, dalvik/ARTcache, Data, internal storage and system

Okay, you are now on Stock Marshmallow (which version?) and you maked factory reset after formatting data to ext4
Which phone EVA model to you have?
It is recommended to flash Stock Recovery with adb and flash latest official Marshmallow Full Firmware once again (downloaded and unzipped) with 3 Button (Force Update) from the folder dload on your phone (update.app and if present meta-inf must be in this folder only) Force Upgrade to Marshmallow Firmware should solve your problem (Bootloader get closed, data should be formatted to f2fs automatically)

thanks soo much i did what you said on pm. went to bootloader and flashed your twrp then wiped again arpcache, cache, system, data, reboot to twrp then installed your ROM which still said that mount dev-0 error but i still rebotted and bam it booted longer with this very nice animation you have and showed emui and now im at select language page!
Flashing your twrp in bootloader fix the problem and formatted Data to f2fs thank you again.
also i used command recovery --wipe_data --set_filesystem_encryption=off before all above to make sure ecryption is off not broken.
im now on home screen it looks nice just 3 navigation buttons on bottom look smaller then i had before, thanks again.
Today I wanted to root my phone. So I flashed twrp to later flash supersu. After i flashed twrp the phone worked fine, I could boot normally and go into recovery to access twrp. However, after I flashed supersu I couldn't boot back into android. After several tries of recovering the data its been a mix between bootlooping twrp or being stuck in the splash screen. I could format the partitions to clean everything, but I can't do that because I need to recover my 2FA codes (cause I didn't backup them up) so I dont lose access to my accounts. I tried unencrypting the storage from twrp but it always failed, even though it was the correct password (I use a pattern to unlock but I converted it to a code). Is there any way I can recover my data or do I have to reset everything?

Hi folks,
So, i'm still on the Stock MIUI 12.5.7 (Android 11).
Before upgrading, i just wanted to check out if TRWP works correctly, so i flashed the most recent official version...and to my surprise, it could _not_ decrypt the internal storage?
Also, in the Backup menu, the EFS and modem partitions have correct sizes, but the dynamic Super partiton is shown as ( 0 MB).
I thought there would be no more issues with such old ROMs...or maybe I'm missing something?
UPDATE:
After wiping data and resetting the phone, TWRP managed to mount the internal storage, as long as there's no PIN on it.
As soon as i enter a PIN in Android, the same PIN entered in TWRP fails to decrypt the internal storage.

Sounds like you need an OS reinstall preceded by data format, not wipe, to remove encryption. There is a Nebrassy 3.6 version that decrypts for A11.

Well, now that i have done a "format data" it works with TWRP, as well.
I moved to a xiaomi.eu rom, and everthing works fine, so far.
Also note that TWRP seems to always get replaced by the stock recovery when on a stock rom from Xiaomi.
