hey guys so 4ive been on omni rom a few months already and It was perfect, then I wanted to encrypt my phone ,still no problem. The other day I tried to install lollipop (cyanogenmod) the installation went fine, the only not working was the wifi, I couldn't connect to any wifi, so I asked on the forum but It looked like I was the only one with the issue then somebody asked me if the problem was just with the lollipop rom or if it was on every others roms (4.4.4 etc) and at the time I thought it was, why ? because every time I flashed the lollipop rom and realized the wifi wasn't working I was just restoring a backup I made so of course the wifi was working after that because it was a restoration, and Today I tried to installed an another 4.4.4 with full wipe and realized that the wifi wasn't working either (even with full wipe and whatnot)
so my question is : what the hell is going on haha ? I have no idea.. my only lead is because my phone is encrypted but the thing is I can't decrypt it, why? because when i boot i the twrp (last version) i enter my password to decrypt the partition and it works, then when i go in wipe>format data , twrp tells me "format data will wipe all ur apps, backups [...] AND REMOVES ENCRYPTION[..] " so perfect ! exactly what I need to remove the encryption BUT when i type my password on the keyboard , well the keyboard doesn't work, the only keys working are "s" "e" and maybe "y" that's it. So what's going here too ?
thanks .
TL; DR: my wifi doesn't works in any other rom beside the backup one, and i can't remove the encryption of my phone because twrp 's keyboard doesn't work.

Hello XDA,
I have SGH-T999 phone or T Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 with CM 11 M8 snapshot and i am facing some major problems with it. Yesterday (7/14/14) i upgraded the rom to m8 snapshot and faced some problem after i loaded up my device. i had problem with my keyboard. i believe this is because i had flashed android l keyboard. But when this was happening i thought the problem i had was caused by the gapps. Thus i went on to download the 4.4.4 gapps. the problem still continued and also i could not use my menu and back button. So i backed up all my stuff including system data. i factory reset my phone and flashed the latest snapshot and the latest gapps. i started up my phone and it worked perfectly. I then recovered all my data and when i was asked to reboot my device i didn't. i first installed my xposed framework and then rebooted. From that point on my device is stuck in a boot loop and i cant fix it. Also when i pressed the power button, my device vibrated twice and then if i pressed it again it would vibrate once. I think the answer is to just restore the user data and not the system. if this is the answer is there anyway i can get my user dictionary and wifi connections back? Thanks.
You'll probably need to factory reset again to get it booting. Using an app such as titanium backup, only restore user data and apps. (Restoring dictionary and wifi connections should be ok). If you were previously on an earlier version of that rom, restoring all data should be ok, so im suspecting its probably got something to do with xposed framework.
I dont know a lot about xposed or cm though, so maybe someone else can verify all of that.
Thanks!

Thanks what you suggested worked. Thanks again
I should mention that this phone is not mine and it was brought to me to fix. It could not get past the samsung bootup animation screen.
So I installed TWRP 2.8.6.0 and wiped everything. Then the first rom I flashed was [ROM][5.1.1][AOSPA] ParanoidAndroid 5.1 (5/21/2015) Then flashed gapps 5-22-15 from euroskank/banks. I wiped dalvik & cache (Is this necessary?) and rebooted.
The intro screen did not let me skip the wifi connecting part (I thought it was a bug in that version) and it told me to turn on wi-fi to connect.
So I tried the same thing with the version before that and it let me skip. After that I managed to turn it on once? But it the phone crashed and soft rebooted.
I tried other 5.1 roms and the wifi doesn't work still. It doesn't let me turn it on. Same with 4.4.4 with cm11. Also, the Wi-Fi MAC address says unavailable. Don't think that's supposed to happen?
Does anyone have a fix?
Edit: I took out the SIM card to see if that did anything. Then all of a sudden the grayed out On button turned blue and wifi networks appeared... But I couldn't do anything else since it made me restart. It stopped working after a reboot :/ Tried it several more times and couldn't get it to do the same thing..

Hope you had read the posts, it should had said the Rom is not "stable"
If your friend are going use their phone for daily driver, then I recommend you not have the 5.1 Roms for now because it's not really suitable for that right now.....
I'm not sure the CM11 you have flashed is unoffical or is offical. Offical onces are still work in progress and have most of the things broke (I think)
Here is a Kitkat Rom for SGH-T989
If your friend really wanted to have a Lollipop running on his/her phone, then I will recommend this one. Make sure you read the instruction CAREFULLY if you do wanted to install this one since it's a bit complicated with it's "virtual partition"
Or, if you wanted it to be just stock. Odin it back to normal, here is a instruction (with video too).
This is all the possible way to fix your friend's phone that I can think of, if you have encounter any error or have anymore question, feel free to reply :fingers-crossed::good::highfive:
P.S: yes, wiping dalvik & cache is a way to prevent any error caused by another old Rom if you decided to flash a new one. It's a good way to prevent error during Rom flash process
Thanks! I'll try the 4.4.4 rom you sent me. I'll post an update when I get to it.
Uh and about the 5.1 you linked. For the virtual repartition part in his post, I couldn't open the phone's internal storage on the computer after formatting it to ext4. So I'm confused about that step.

For the virtual partition, it's best for you to have it on the External SD card. Since TWRP transporting file to Internal Storage after that seems bugged (not working)
So, I have a rooted OnePlus 3 with CM 13.1 Snapshot. But wanted to try CM 14.1. So I wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data and system, and install CM 14.1 nightly. After messing with it for a few days its was not daily driver ready for me. So same ting and install CM 13.1 back.
Now, I setup phone and all. I want to go back to TWRP to flash Exsposed. Suddenly it asks for a password (said no thanks in setup) so I assumed it would be my pin, but that was incorrect. I started the phone back up and asked for a start-up pin (even I said no thanks in setup) but that was my pin. So I tried to chance it into a pattern and hoped it would update in TWRP.
I go back to TWRP still incorrect, I go start my phone back up, but now it saying that the startup pattern is incorrect. I'm 100% sure is correct.
Now I can't enter TWRP and/or my phone.
Please help me, thanks.
Did u happen to restore from backup ?
You need clean install, else the pin information might had an issue,
This issue presence in 3.0.2.0 TWRP not sure whther it's been fixed or not.
Solution is dont use PIN (remove it) prior to doing backup
So I just tried out some pie roms earlier and when I finally settled on a specific rom, i migrated my files, fixed some settings etc. And when I decided that I was done, I just wanted to transfer some backup files to and from my phone in case I'd need to revert to my prior setup. Weirdly enough, when I pressed the file transfer option on my phone, it would stop or even restart to the bootloader or recovery then I'd have to boot my phone again. I tried it a couple more times and I even lost some data. I then decided to restore a nandroid backup of my oreo rom thinking it was a rom problem but the data partition couldn't be read in bluspark twrp. So, I just did another clean flash of the pie rom (format data, decrypted and all that) and same thing except for the data loss part. Im pretty sure nothing went wrong with flashing as everything works fine on the actual rom but as soon as I select the MTP option, the phone just restarts. Now Im on the said pie rom and everything's working fine but I can't attempt to transfer any files as I'll just run into the same problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hello,
I am having issue with my mi mix 2 (chiron), since using custom ROMs (9.0 based). The roms and everything connected with it works fine, but problem comes, when i want to install new OTA update (that is quiet offen, since developer release new version several times per weak). Everytime i boot in recovery (TWRP, last official available version for chiron), data partition is encrypted and i am unable to decrypt it in twrp (twrp says, i have inputed wrong password [i have tried to change to text password, didnt help]). I have also tried different versions of TWRP - same result. The only way how to not lose data is to install update from external storage, which is anoying. Lastly i have tried to search for help here and other forums, but did not find any solution. Does anyone else face this problem and is there any way, how to decrypt data partition in twrp?
Thanks in advance
Marek
