how to decrypt in twrp?

I have my 3t unlocked and twrp flashed, but every time I boot into it, it indicates not able to decrypt data partition. Even after flashing with sideload, the pin which I set in preinstalled OS couldn't unlock it. Tried to disable boot up pin didn't help me out. Any hints?
Thankc

Did you flashed dm-verity zip disabler or SuperSU zip before boot to system...?

It sounds like he just wants TWRP to be able to access his encrypted data, not to actually wipe and decrypt.

If your device isn't decrypting in TWRP, chances are you still have the old crypto key format from the 3.5.1 release firmware.
You can solve this by updating to 3.5.3 and changing your boot up password in your device OS's settings.
By changing your password after updating to 3.5.3 or newer, your OS will rewrite your crypto key to be compatible with TWRP.
You are free to disable your password after this if you don't want one, and TWRP will decrypt with the default password.

@zphou Did you do that stuff, like the TWRP thread tells you to?

Sounds like you need to factory reset. Thats how you remove encryption. Ive done it before on my other phone. Perhaps make a quick manual backup of the folders on your phone or use the splendid Huawei Backup app on the play store and throw that on your PC before resetting. You can restore apps to the exact state as before your reset. Encryption should be removed afterwards.

Yes. I followed the instructions and now with latest public beta, which is 7.0. I still can not access to data partition in recovery. Luckly, I could flash 3rd party rom with sideload, the only issue is not able to boot into system. So I have to flash the public 7.0 beta.

[Solved / Fixed ]Cannot decrypt the phone after flashing the flyme build

Hi ,
I am not a noob, but yesterday out of curiosity flashed the flyme build in the unified section. However, after the TWRP reboot to system, it did not boot. So tried to reboot the recovery and success. But the villian was there, encryption password. I tried giving my phone PIN, it said wrong password.
After half an hour, i installed the stock image(3.5.1) using the msm tool. Well it booted fine and phone is usable. Unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest TWRP,.
The villian is back, asking for password. Now it is taking any password, always say wrong password. Ok in case i skip the decrypt screen, i cannot access the sdcard to flash new rom.
Is this the end of story of my op3t?

Have you tried "default_password"?

Tried everything. The phone boots into OOS 3.5.1 after msm tool flash without password. Even it behaves very well. Only after the TWRP installation. It is stuck for password. I think its end of story.

Then I don't know... Usually if TWRP suddenly starts asking for a password without having set one, using "default_password" will work.
You could try flashing a kernel that disables forced encryption and then format data to unencrypt.

You have to make sure to restore system to the version using the same encryption libraries as used the last time you could decrypt the data partition. If all fails you will have to format your data partition and loose it all.

I have already lost the data. TWRP not allowing me to enter the sdcard storage to flash anything. Can u brief me how to format the data partition.

Just bootup phone into fastboot mode from the unlocked bootloader menu, then connect to PC and run "fastboot format userdata" from a path with either fastboot in or anywhere of you've added the folder with fastboot in you PATH variable.

Did this. But after should i flash the stock image again? Because system is not booting and stuck in oneplus logo.
How about fastboot erase options?

I disabled encryption one year ago to avoid this problem, and therefore have never experienced it. But why don't you do a compete MSM restore? That should restore even the data partition.

Let me try once i go home and update u. Thanks for the response..
Will format the data from fastboot. and flash the stock image. Hope this works.

Finally happened to work.
Installed a different version twrp made the trick. But this time i erased the recovery and flashed again. After that wiped all the data and then sideloaded the rom from adb and it did the trick..

Can you please tell me how you disabled encryption?

You do this by flashing the latest no-verity-opt-encrypt zip file after formatting the data partition and also after each update of the OS.

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...

TWRP can't decrypt phone (Pie)

I recently formatted my G6, downloaded Pie from the motorola assistant, flashed everything and installed TWRP 3.3.1-0.
TWRP boots up fine, im able to flash anything (like magisk) but it refuses to decrypt the phone. It shows a screen to input a password or a pattern (depending on what i've configured) but no matter what I tried it just fails to decrypt with the "Decrypt took too long, killing process". So far I've tried
* Pattern
* Password
* Swipe
* All the previous combinations with "boot time pattern/password requirement" enabled/disabled.
I'd like to keep the phone encrypted and still use TWRP, so my question is, has someone managed to use TWRP with the G6? If its not possible, I'd like to disable it, although i've found no tutorials about it.
Thanks!

I fixed it by using the 64 bits version of twrp i think. You can try it i guess?

Where did you download it? twrp.me /motorola/motorolamotog6.html shows only one version avaialble.
(Sorry abot the broken link, cant post them with a new accoutn)

MMmm isn't working for me with pattern lock, enabled at boot time... It fails to decrypt the internal storage. Are you using pattern, pin, passowrd?

I don't think what you're trying to do is possible.
Don't you need to wipe all the data anyway for the new rom?
Personally, I'd hit cancel, and wipe data entirely, which will obviously erase everything from any apps.

What I'm trying to do is create backups and keep encryption. I'm able to format data and flash firmware... But now I want to backup it! Is that possible?

For encryption just remove lock screen security and reboot.

That's correct, but in my case I'm running EliteROM wich is decrypted by default, if I want to backup my system with TWRP-3.6.2 the super partition shows "zero MB" even without any lockscreen option... not like in OFox where it shows the real partition size... So, the backup will be done without system or super-partition. Am I right? Thank you.

Sure, but full restores with TWRP or O.F tend to work only on the same rom (when it works).
You can use Mi cloud on PC or PHONE eventually MI phone assistant.(data only).

I'm testing almost every rom I found... with OFOX I can restore my entire system every time.... I'm not sure the same with TWRP, and I think the reason is android 12. With android 11 every recovery image works fine.

There are several trying the last one but removing the security from the lock screen is fine.
Your rom is in A12 so yes,phone code name SWEET. (but some TWRP are not yet 100% functional).
What do you want to do with the twrp?

For AOSP rom or Custom Miui roms,first installation requires to format data not just wipe.
Again remove lock screen security and with the TWRP:
If the TWRP ask to "enter password for the user" just select cancel.
Wipe/format data type yes reboot TWRP.(if errors red lines restart the procedure).
rebooting to the TWRP on each try.
