Ok guys, this is a sureshot guide for
PROBLEM
* anyone wanting to decrypt their op3 but stuck at 1+ boot screen(Or not able to boot any custom ROMs.) and only able to restore twrp backups
* After using fastboot format userdata twrp and about phone shows only 32gb phone memory(where the hell is my rest of 32gb )
* Fastboot format userdata resulting in Stuck at boot screen or simply an unbrick trick to return to Stock OOS in unencrypted stage
SOLUTION
1. Use method 2 of Mega unbrick guide to restore your phone to stock partitions found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3405700
2. After the flashing is complete do not reboot the phone instead reboot directly into bootloader.
3. In fastboot mode flash modded twrp 3.0.2.22 using command ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
4. Reboot directly into twrp and using mtp mode copy latest elemental x kernel or bluspark kernel zip for OOS and SYSTEM supersu.zip into the internal storage. System supersu.zip here OR directly proceed to step 8
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip
5. Now flash system supersu.zip and directly after that kernel.zip
6. Now again reboot to recovery directly and from twrp boot into system.
7. After boot up you system should be decrypted. You can check in security settings.
8.Reboot recovery and flash required firmware + modem zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628
9.wipe data +cache +dalvik +system
10. Flash any rom of your choice and go flashoholic, use multirom or whatever you want.
Pheww. Thanks.
Man, Finally the SystemRoot (V4A, MultiROM etc) as we discussed a couple of weeks back with this hassle at the Mega Unbrick and Decrypt guides threads...:highfive:
I saw your post on MultiROM but maybe it got moved I guess...
So are you able to cross flash anything now ?
thanks.

anything... even multirom works flawless.
I will give this a try, Or will try to Flash the EX then perform parts of this since they support Kexec, to see what works, I have data and lot of apps working them again is a real pita with my schedule...
Thanks but, this is basically what i have done to decrypt my op3, i just used the CypherOs ROM instead OxygenOs, fastboot format userdata, reboot to recovery, flash rom, flash elementalx, and i didnt flash Supersu(dont know if thats causing my problem, i dont think so), i also did fastboot format userdata without being stuck at boot logo and still no 32gb, dont know whats the problem

Aham, so the format userdata causes it, thanks for that. i want to ask you something, after restoring completely with Msmdownloadtool(method2) can i directly reboot to recovery then sideload CB 3.5.5 and then reboot to fastboot and continue with the tutorial? What im saying is my device is decrypted as long it doesnt boot, am i right?

Yes you can but you will be encrypted again. so after msm method reboot fastboot and flash modded twrp. reboot recovery flash CB or OOS. flash supersu flash kernel. Agin flash twrp.img from recovery itself and reboot recovery. After that reboot system and you are good to go. Make sure you have enough system space before flashing supersu and kernel. frow twrp file manager delete unneeded system apps 1st. DO NOT REBOOT in between.

you have to use qualcomm download mode by switching off your phone. pressing vol up button and connecting to usb.

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..

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.

Hello guys ,
i am a newbie, i wanted to go for custom rom lineage os for op3t since i was fascinated by my friend's customisation.
i am in a stock rom with december patch 2017 updated.
i went to install twrp and headache started where i ended up decryption problem.
i havent set any password for twrp but it prompts for password. tried and tired of other bluesparks custom twrp also
before i go ahead with format/erase data (everything) i have a question can i able to decrypt mounted storage ??
none of the posts i found have clearly mentioned .. i tries updated twrp from webiste also but of nos usee
anybody's kind enough to explain procedures to be followed
Thx in advance
If TWRP requires you to insert a PW when you haven't one, try "default_password".
try the commands
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot format system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot reboot
then reboot phone to recovery by pressing the volume keys and select recovery.
If you're able to boot into system, go to Settings > Security and set a password. You will be prompted then whether you want to use this password during boot, select Yes. This way TWRP should accept the password.

Your tip be like: destroy most partitions on the phone and reboot.
Why even erase boot? Never do this.

Password it ask for is the one you have set for lockscreen in last OS you used, just enter the same pin or password you used in last OS and it will decrypt
If default password doesn't work you need to wipe internal storage using above commands given by @ersandeepkr

I would definitely not wipe anything. I would first:
Set my password again (you can use the same one you are currently using) in Settings>Security>Screen lock and select the Require password to start option.
Then boot into TWRP and see if your password decrypts the data.
I would also only use either the latest official TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/
Or the Blu Spark v8.61 TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...vice-development/kernel-t3404970/post67463496

I have used above commands without any problem.
The most dangerous command that will destroy your phone is
"fastboot erase bootloader"
and not the boot.

I found it on the net, but i hesitate to try as i have done too many firmware re-flashes lately.
Has anyone actually tried this?

Yes, I tried it, but I can't flash it with Odin. Always say unsupported device or so...

I have flashed TWRP to recovery (on my unlocked Redmi Note 10 Pro) and can access it no problem. But I have no TWRP folder on my phone and cannot see one when connected to my computer.
I have reflashed to try to fix it, but no change. I found a thread where the suggested terminal commands but I would need to root my phone and I don't think that is something I should be doing. Any suggestions?

I think you can't access internal storage in case of encryption.

I read about that but I thought I'd see 0MB or weird filenames while looking at the filesystem in TWRP recovery and neither is the case. I did have to enter my password the first time I used TWRP and I have never been asked for it since.

So I had twrp 3.6_11-sweet installed. I just flashed Orange fox (the latest stable version) to recovery, and then I could no longer access recovery - it just restarted to flashboot. I had this problem when I tried to flash the Pixel Experience image too.
So I flashed TWRP to recovery again and everything is back to normal. But the problem is that I can’t use TWRP because there’s no folder installed.

So I put the phone in fastboot mode -> connected to PC with usb -> check connection in cmd (fastboot devices) -> fastboot flash recovery "recovery_orange fox.img" -> power+up
And I get sent back to the fastboot screen
I must be doing something wrong but I have watched videos and read instructions and I don't know what it is.

But without the quotes and no spaces, means change the file name like cmd:

I renamed the file but same result - it cycles through back to fastboot instead of recovery.
I don't understand. It's like it only accepts the twrp image, but even that doesn't install right.

And take the files which there are downloadable
Try after flashing to boot via hardware keys and also via adb.
If both not working, I think you have to flash fastboot image via PC miflash and boot it to switch developer usb debugging on and restart to fastboot mode and flash twrp again.....

One more idea, before starting from scratch:
After flashing twrp disconnecting usb and then rebooting to recovery by pressing power and vol+ until you'll see the logo and feel the vibration
Why don't you test the recovery using fastboot boot? My recommendation is never to flash any recovery before successfully having it started manually once.
My personal approach is, never to install any recovery but only boot it in case it is needed. Disadvantage is that you need to be near a computer if you want to run it.

Hi all, there's been some progress but I'd like your advice before continuing. I have my preferred ROM (Pixel Experience, zipped) copied to my SD card and I can see my SD card under Install option on TWRP. My phone data has been formatted (using the twrp Wipe option). Should I try installing from the SD card? I'm nervous since I know missing steps was warned against in the installation instructions.
1. Wipe Data/Cache
2. Format Data (yes)

4. Reboot System
