I encrypted device then installed custom now devices crashes each time I enter password. I don't have a backup. I flashed stock firmware with odin and same thing is happening.
You're going to have to factory reset.

I had a problem recently after trying to do a "factory reset" from the android settings in CM12. Once the tablet will reboot was kept at a constant bootloop in recovery, appeared the display screen of the recovery and restarts. Do not know what to do, I tried to install a rom from Odin but it was impossible, in the end, the solution was to download the recovery stock and install it with ODIN, after entering mode download dozens of times, and many reboots after returning to stock recovery the message on the screen said "erasing" so I guess the tablet had the order to the "factory reset" but this will not be achieved from TRWP.
If someone comes to have a problem bootlop I hope you can fix it with this method, a hug to everyone.

A factory reset is simply wiping/formatting the data partition. Twrp could have done that.
Your mistake was attempting to do it from within a custom Rom. The device needs to boot to recovery to perform the reset. I'm guessing you would need cwm recovery installed to factory reset from within CM12 as I doubt it would work with stock or TWRP.
Here we go. I had CM12 installed on my SM-T700 with encryption enabled. I wanted to revert back to the stock ROM, so I flashed via Odin. When it booted up it prompted me for my encryption password, but it is not working.
It seems that the encrypted disk persisted re-flash and it's not letting me boot into my os. Any help?
Edit: It seems the flash reverted my recovery to the stock sammy recovery.
Factory reset then flash original firmware via odin.

My Nexus 5x is running cyanogenmod and an older version of TWRP that I used to root the device over a year ago. Usually bootloop is not a problem because I can fix the issue through recovery. My recovery is encrypted and when I go to enter the password to decrypt it, my phone freezes and resumes bootloop. What options do I have?
Flash stock images via fastboot?
Open TWRP and enter it without the password. Head over to Format and swipe the bar, type in YES and format your devcie.
YES YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA, but this solves the issue of encrypted recoveries.
Also if possible, get the latest version of TWRP which I believe is 3.0.2.2, from their official website.
Let me know if it works.
I have tried to flash all factory images via fastboot, but when I re-flash and get in to TWRP, my recovery crashes and my phone goes back to bootloop.
Hi,
I downgraded my Nexus 5X from stock 8.1 (OTA) to the latest stock 6.0.1 firmware (via fastboot), and booted up to make sure it's working. All is fine. Device is wiped to a factory state.
I then flashed the latest TWRP recovery, and then rebooted to recovery to try and flash Magisk. At this stage, TWRP asks me for a password to decrypt data, and I didn't set any password at all. If I click on Cancel to continue, I'm able to see the zip file that I placed in /sdcard, presumably coz it's encrypted and TWRP can't read it? What's the password though?
I notice upon Android bootup, under Settings->Security, that my phone is encrypted. I tried factory resetting the phone to disable encryption, but it shows up encrypted even after factory reset.
Also noticed that when I try to reboot, it always reboots back to TWRP rather than Android. Once I flash it back to the stock recovery, then I can boot to Android.
How can I get TWRP to work on an encrypted phone without a password?
I had a similar issue with 8.1. I reset my phone, waited booting and setup is done, then I tried different versions of TWRP and finally no password required!
Which version of TWRP worked for you?
I ended up using 3.0.2-2, which was released around the same time as the 6.0.1 image that my N5X is running on. Formatted data and wiped everything but system in TWRP, rebooted to TWRP, and it worked after that. Weird how fastboot format userdata didn't work.
