how to decrypt phone? - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

Hi all, I want to decrypt my mobile so that I can use adoptable storage and use SD card as internal storage.
I'm currently using Havoc OS 2.9
EMUI version is 8.0 with March Security Patches
Please Help.

Look for "dm-verity" script here on XDA and you'll find how to decrypt your device. It'll need factory reset. Have fun!

Accidentally formatted sd card

I accidentally formatted my internal sd card today, is there a way to recover any of the file?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Try this worked for me a long time ago
Good Luck
I tried Recuva, but an older version which I got for free. Anyone else have a suggestion? I have some very important files on my sd. :-(
Install ubuntu linux on internal memory (via XDA tutorial), then run a file recovery package through that.
Much more is available on ubuntu in that respect

Right now this is my only hope. Where's the tutorial? By internal memory,do you mean right on the Nexus one itself? Also, would I be able to revert to CM7?

Twrp usb-otg?

My turbo has a newly unlocked bootloader, thanks to beaups and jcase. I have TWRP installed and I'm ready to flash some ROMs, but TWRPs USB-OTG won't functions.
Has anyone used it yet that can help me?
I was just going to ask about otg ( for different reasons) I have a sandisk 64 gb flash drive (formated exFat) my phone sees it but won't open or format it. Any thoughts?

twrp.fstab must be modified by the twrp dev of your device... please tell him ....
/dev/block/sda1 is the needed path if he asks

I had no issues with a 32gb sd card with otg adaptor formatted fat32. Read and write very fast, twrp recognized everything.
USB-OTG /dev/block/sda1 already exist.

Check second post of TWRP thread there is a help we use it for months all the bug are resolved.... Today TWRP only access FAT32 drivers not a bug, to access other format like NTFS generates a bug that make the device not boot at all..

ntfs needs a special boardconfig flag... did you already tried?
TW_INCLUDE_NTFS_3G := true
not sure i totlay get it, mine will read other flash/thumb drives, just not my 64 gb one. The larger one is formatted exFAT and are the smaller ones are formatted to FAT 32. is this a hardware or OS software issue?

yes on the kernel too doesn't boot. but months ago it may work if i make a new one today, waiting on the official release of TWRP 2.8.8.0 made for M source to worry about that.
On the kernel is not need because the OS can use NTFS but I try to enable it on the kernel to see if that help on the TWRP but no. :good:

Updating Android 6 (CM13) with merged storages (SD as internal)

Hi folks, maybe someone encounters the same problem. I installed CM13 02/12 along with opengapps, which worked fine.
I then decided to use my SD Card as internal, which also worked like a charm.
But when I tried to update, TWRP can't see the contents of the SD-Card.
So I flashed Philz, and flashed the new build via sideload (should be possible with TWRP as well). That resulted in a phone, which wont boot up and is stuck in the bootlogo.
I then flashed Rom and Gapps via sideload, the phone boots up, but Setup Wizard App (I think its called that in English) keeps on crashing, rendering the phone unusable.
(I then erased internal storage, messing up everything, and returned to CM12)
So here are the questions:
1. Did anyone succesfully update his phone, while having activated the storage merging option?
2. Does anyone know, how to stop Setup Wizard from closing? (I think, I read somewhere it is because of missing rights and that you can fiddle with some "packages.xml" to fix that)
Thanks guys!
-UPDATE:
Here are three solutions for updating:
a) The downloaded .zip file has to be moved to /data (if wanted, into some subfolder of your choice. ES-File Explorer needs root for that) Then flash via TWRP.
b) Use flashify, choose copy to safe location (had some FC's afterwards)
c) Use cm-recovery, update via cm-updater (not yet confirmed)

1. I don't think so. For this we should need an updated recovery supporting this feature. Furthermore, the feature is not fully ready, imho
2. I don't know. Never had this problem.

For your other question I don't know.
Using SD card as internal storage in Marshmallow repartitions it with ext4 filesystem and encrypts it. A recovery needs to handle both support for ext4 and decrypting the files on it - which should be impossible without the correct key.
Currently you should use SD as portable/external to keep unencrypted fat file system.

The first part is true.
But I don't agree for the second part. This new option is great as long as you know how to use it and how not to loose all your data when changing ROM.
Flashify CAN flash when during the process you choose "use provided path".
Why ? Because it stores the ROM on the data partition and with a custom script it allows the recovery to mount the data partition and the flash the ROM.

I believe you when you say Flashify can flash the rom. But as said, it's all way to complicated for the 'average' user. Especially because of the encryption, which causes the sd card to be unseen by, for example, your recovery or your pc. These things have to be solved first!

Hey Mavireck, thank you for that info, I will try Flashify soon! Did you flash the ROM only or ROM + GAPPS?
And I understand that there are different opinions, but for me, merging internal storage is kind of a "key" feature for substituting Link2SD. I'm hoping to see some kind of recovery, which can decrypt the SD card in the near future (or the possibilty to choose not to use encryption)!

The twrp team is awesome. They will find a fix.
I only tried flashing the ROM but i think you can flash at the same time gapps.
Alright, Flashify works, if you pick the option "copy to safe directory" or similar. "use provided path" doesnt work for me.
But after the update, Nova Launcher keeps crashing and titanium backup doesnt show up on the app drawer anymore, but is still installed and cant be uninstalled to reinstall. pretty weird. So for me, this option doesnt really work either.
I copy the update zip file to \Data\Media\0\twrp and i can update
Anyone knows if the SuperSU 2.60 works in the CM13 Moto G2014???
@Poeta, I copy the zip to /data/fota which I think is a slightly more appropriate choice (fota= firmware over the air, which is exactly what this process is)... But regardless of the location, the point is to use /data partition (which is accessible from both within marshmallow os and recovery) instead of internal storage or sd card.

Okay, so copying the files to flash on the /data partition is the key, will try that. How does your updated Android behave performancewise? Any troubles with apps like titanium backup or nova launcher (if used).

I haven't used TB or Nova... CM 13 on Titan is running very well for me. As expected, in these early nightlies, some CM features are not fully implemented but that has not hindered my ability to use it as a daily driver for the past couple of weeks.

Hey everyone. I have a question for whomever formatted the SD as internal.
First of all, yes, it's a little buggy, but I find it extremely useful, hats off to Google!
Then, I've been having this weird problem where if I try to reboot the phone with the SD card inserted it would go into a bootloop. I usually reboot into bootloader, remove the SD card, reboot again and put in the SD card after android has fully launched.
Anyone having the same problem?
I'm using the 14/11 version of the rom (goodness. I'm outdated!) and my SD card is pretty much brand new. A 32gb sandisk class 10 U3.
Thanks in advance!

I've tried like 4 releases of CM13 so far, never had a problem like that. But I only used builds from december, so I would suggest you go for a newer version, after a backup of course
Heres something else I found at the CM13 thread I wanted to share with you:
Also, keep in mind that this problem might be isolated to TWRP. @LuK1337 informed me that if you:
Use CMUpdater to download ROM
Let CMUpdater "Reboot and Install" ROM directly
and have CM recovery installed
... then it works flawlessly. I have yet to try it (since no new nightlies have come out since I learned of this approach.)
So guys, I updated to todays build by moving it to the /data partition and then using twrp. Works like a charm! Thanks everyone for your help!

Storage

The sd card in my moto x4 device doesn't show up "format as internal storage" but I'm still able to use it as external. Can somebody help me
that option is not available. don't ask me why.
it's slow AF anyway, why would you nees it?
"... File-based encryption [FBE] cannot currently be used together with adoptable storage. On devices using file-based encryption, new storage media (such as an SD card) must be used as traditional storage ..."
The Moto X4 uses FBE ...

I researched this heavily while building TWRP, but abandoned it in favor of trying to build TWRP that properly decrypts the default encryption.
It seems that the fstab.qcom flag "forceencrypt" will force FDE as the default encryption.
This tag (instead of forceencrypt) is supposed to enable an encryption selection option Developer Tools:
forcefdeorfbe=/dev/block/platform/c0c4000.sdhci/by-name/metadata
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have not fully tested either, but I may return to converting to FDE if I can't solve FBE in TWRP
I should also note... the kernel will overwrite changes to fstab.qcom on boot, so implementation is more difficult than first glance
Hi Mightysween, Thanks for the update. I hope somebody will find a way to disable Direct Boot (and the FBE requirement that come with it).
Offtopic: I am also following your TWRP topic. Thanks for making "the process" public. It is a very interesting read. Thanks for your efforts!

TWRP does not show files at storage folder

Hi all,
I noticed, my TWRP (i tried cepheus and 3.3.0. 9.0 b8) does not show any files in the folder storage. Even not the called "emulated" or "0" folder.
So i can only sideload .zip or Install it via OTG.
But how to fix TWRP?
Thank you.

But it has mounted because it does not show 0 MB. It only does not show the files

Is it really empty or show random named files? If its random names, then its encrypted. If empty, try look inside folder of /data/media/0. Your internal storage files should be there and encrypted by default..
Why is there an encryption? How does it go to avoid in Future?
Thank you

There is always an encryption. The recoveries just can't handle it right now. They need more improvements. But our devs do a good job and I think it won't take a long time to fix this in near future.

Yup we need to wait until someone fix that. You need to FORMAT data. Wipe data isnt enough.
