Hi, I have a problem with my phone. I tried to phone encryption OmniROM. Then I wanted to decrypt the phone, but the decryption was not possible.
According to the instructions so I did factory reset in TWRP and deleted data. TWRP but wrote that the data folder can not be found. Finally, the decryption succeeded, but now when I upload firmare based Samsung phone he wants before entering the pin code still enter the password to decrypt. I tried the password with which to encrypt my phone but it says that it is not the correct password. Can you please advise how to do a complete decryption to operate and Samsung based ROM?
With OmniROM and CM 11 phone does not need a password. I'm already confused.
Sorry for my bad english

Ok, so I was on stock 4.3 rooted.
Installed resurrection rom, booted fine, google restored all my apps. everything was great. then I tried to install air watch mdm agent to get my work emails. it started the encruption process. I gave the password 1234 when it said "enter a password to decrypt device. encryption finished but Air watch mdm reported incompliant device so I could not get the work email setup. Now I tried to decrypt the device by doing factory reset from settings menu, it asks for my password, proceeds to reboot the phone, then it boots into team win recover and asks for my decrypt password but will not accept it. I cancel out, reboot using team win recovery reboot option and phone boots and asks for decrypt password, 1234, it takes it boots up but still says device is encrypted.
Since I can't get air watch mdm to work, I must go back to my stock using nandroid backup restore.
Do I need samsung recovery to decrypt? TWRP will not accept the password.
TWRP is 2.6.3.1
Baseband 1747UCUEMJB
How do I decrypt this phone now? please help.
Thanks in advance
I installed RessurectionRemix and i followed the process i will describe now:
I was on 8.7.5 developer.
Flash MIUI from Mi Flash Tool just click on option Clean All, Let it flash and boot up, after it boots reboot to fastboot since you did only clean all it'll not relock BL.
Then flash twrp in fastboot. Go to wipe> advance> select everything (data, system, cache, dalvik, internal, vendor) everything. And swipe right.
Now keep in mind do not touch the format data option at all.
Now go to reboot menu and reboot to recovery after it boots back to recovery transfer the ROM and other files, flash and reboot system and you'll have 100% encrypted device.
Flash the rom
Flash gapps
After that process everything worked fine and the phone was encrypted. Almost instantly (5-10secs) after I power the phone it asked for password.
But i installed magisk through TWRP and since then it asks for password when the phone boots completely and asks the password just to unlock the lockscreen.
Inside settings it says phone is encrypted but my guess is, that it isn't encrypted.
How can i fix that? What is wrong in the process i followed? What is the correct process?
Thank you!
I guess those steps were for lineage os. For others, you've to format data to disable encryption.
i want to have encryption enabled.
I dont want encryption disabled.
What are you asking exactly?
If you go to
Settings - Security & Privacy - Encryption & Credentials - Under Encryption
Are you been offered the choice to encrypt phone? If your not then it is already encrypted.
Is it requesting a password to boot and also to unlock the device?
If you need password to boot, then you selected that as an option when setting up password.
Can be removed by changing your password to swipe/none and setup your password again.
If TWRP, can not decrypt the device, make sure your using the latest.
Why didn't you post your query in RR thread?

Hello from Antwerp.
Can someone help me please? I am contacting you, because my phone does not start anymore. However I can get into TWRP. But TWRP (v. 3.0.2-1) asks a password. In former days I have crypt my phone. But I have done this with a 6-pattern. But now TWRP only accept numbers (or letters). Does someone of you maybe know, how I can enter a 6-pattern code as a numeric code? Or is there a possibility to change the password prompt into a pattern within TWRP? Maybe then I can get further afterwords.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi.
There are a lot of questions open. What firmware are you using? What TWRP version exactly? What do you want to achieve with decrypting /data?
If you just want your phone booting again the easiest way would be skipping the password prompt, wipe /data, /system, caches and reinstall your firmware.
If not:
Pattern-->Numbers works as described here https://twrp.me/faq/openrecoveryscript.html (Scroll down to Specific pattern decrypt note).
The thing now is, that you need to have 2 things:
TWRP capable of decrypt /data
Android version < 8
Decryption in TWRP for Android >= 8 isn't working right now. But you can tell me if you find a version capable of doing so.
If decryption worked that doesn't mean you'll be able to boot again. You can save your data but that's it. Are there known problems with decryption on your firmware?
You can try to backup /data after successful decryption, do a clean install and import backup afterwards.
Please, I need help. After flashing twrp I boot it and I need a password. I don't have any idea of what password it is. I tried with "default_password", "password" and with my MIUI account password. I also tried the password I have in the lock screen. But nothing seems to work. I tried also RedWolf but it also needs a password.
I have been reading a lot of forums with this topic but no one worked for me. Does somebody have a solution? I will do a fabric reset if necessary, but I want to install a custom rom and with that password it's impossible

press tge back button for twrp u will enter twrp interface now You will have to perform format data(in wipe section) after that your internal storage along with other partitions will be wiped then you mist install orangefox recovery (never choose anyother recovery for whyred only orangefox) then you can install any custom rom your storage will be decrypted.(your os will also b wiped and all your data in internal storage) use sd card or otg to flash a rom.
Use Orange Fox.
The only reason for the encryption of twrp is immediate change of roms from android 10 to android 9 (or) changing the pixel based roms to normal roms to avoid this we can use the lazy flasher zip
I was messing around with ROMs and on the last one I tried (LineageOS 17.1) I forgot to remove the lock screen PIN and did a factory reset because I wanted to recover the NANDroid backup of my previous ROM (OOS 10.1). But TWRP asks for a password to decrypt /data, and the PIN I set up on LineageOS is apparently incorrect, so I'm stuck with an encrypted /data.
If I try to flash again via adb push, LineageOS gets stuck at "just a sec..." right after choosing language and doesn't go further that that, and OOS gets stuck at the bootanimation.
I tried different TWRP versions (from the latest to 3.3.2), even various unofficial ones (the two or three available on the blu_spark repo, and also OrangeFox), but they all say "wrong password" when I input the PIN I used on LineageOS.
Does anyone know of a way to get out of this mess? Or to recover pictures from the phone, at least?
