Error «Encryption was interrupted and cannot be complete»

Hi Guys! I have a problem, and i really don't know how can i fix it.
My phone boots normally, but when boot finish this error appear in the screen:
«Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. Phone data cannot be used anymore.
To continue using your phone, you must restore factory settings. After the restoration, you can restore data backed up in your Google Account to your phone»
There is a "Reset Phone" button but if i push it nothing happen.
I have tried to clear data/cache in recovery but nothing changed, I have tried to install a new ROM (i tried a lot of ROMS) but when it arrive to 50% more or less installation fails.
I have tried this guide oppoforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-recover-your-bricked-find-7-7a.23067/ but it cannot work (Image Attachment)
Also FASTBOOT can't work. (For exemple: if i try to flash recovery it fails remote: failed to flash recovery / erase userdata / cache)
I really don't know where can i also looking
Help me please!

Anyone?

I'm having the same problem....
Restoring an old backup woth TWRP results in the same error.....

hi guys this happened to me too,
luckily I had twrp 2.8.6.0 flashed for recovery.
think you should still be able to get into fastboot if you do a battery pull
then poweron with the powerbutton and volume up till you see the oppo man icon.
then you should be able to flash your recovery with the latest twrp.
if you seen the penquin then this may not work for you. As i have not done a hard recovery before so i dont know if it would work.
I saw the oppo man so i was able to fix it by:
booting into twrp recovery,
i selected wipe --> advanced and there was an additional option to do a wipe for encrypted volumes and i selected all partitions to be wiped
then i installed i had downloaded on my SD card, it was ColorOS 2.0.8i i believed and it fixed it.
sorry if i am a bit grey about the details i did it a while ago so.
Actually found this in the cm12.1 nighlies thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58304054&postcount=14
issue is possibly due to unified partitions

Encryption fails??

Hi
Anyone have an idea, why after installing a custom rom eg. blispop/excodus or whatever, after flasjing and booting the first time (whit or whitout gapps) i get a encryption fail . saying this was interrupted and not done....try factory resetting (button at middle off screen, says reset) and doing so don´t change anything, manual wiping also changes nothing...??
I´ve never seen this prompt before and not sure what it exactly means?
It happens after flashing cos official 2.14, with twrp 2.8.7.2 , all flashed just fine and working...in cos.
Flashing custom roms gives no errors and seems fine, it boots to the point where this encryption thing shows up?
Tried fastboot oem unlock, which adb says went ok, but no changes whit this error!
Oh and i merged internal sd when i was in cos 2.14 recovery and it works just fine
thx in advance guy´s

Had the same issue with CM12 on my Find 7a, eventually had to reflash Oppo's stock recovery which has a SD Mass storage option, toggled this and then the boot was able to complete. I then couldn't use the camera or download as the phone said I had no SD card - corrected by reflashing TWRP and changing to ext3

Thx a lot, but only stock recovery i can find is v1.0 which only has usb mass storage option, been inside this option toggled exit usb mass storage option, but same 0, encryption fails...
do you remember or have a link to recovery you used?
edit:flashed 1.2v and there´s no such option
Thx
Edit again:Lol, after fiddling around with getting non unified storage etc, formatting and flashing sahara tool , i totally forgot about new modem/security update necessary and made by cyanogenmod team, (This will give the encryption fails error else) when flashing nightly with updates all was working great!!
So easiest way to switch between unified/non unified is by installing cos 2.14 and use recovery to chose layout, then flash a cm nightly and all is great.

Device not detected

Hello everybody,
Here my problem :
I tried to install a custom rom, I failed. Now, my smartphone stay on the Asus logo screen. I tried to follow this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835 - to fix the problem, but when I connect phone and laptop, adb doesn't find the device.
If I continue and go in recovery mode (using TWRP), laptop can access the phone (I can see internal memory but not external).
And if I try the ADB sideload, there is no device again...
It's the first step, I don't see any other way to unbrick the phone...
Thanks in advance

http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256 be lucky your phone is recognized

Hello,
Frist, thank you for your answer. I had already tried this way but nothing. Finally, I fixed the problems (detect phone and unbrick phone).
1-In TWRP, I loaded recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img. Reboot in recovery mod, but I had the dead droid... so I pushed on power and volume up till I have a new screen.
2-In this part, I did a Wipe/Factory reset (useless I think), reboot in recovery mode (still dead droid). This time I selected the line "update with adb" (with an ASUS firmware). Then I had a message who told me update adb sideload. I did it and it installed the firmware. The smartphone reboot correctly.
Now, I have the same problem I had yesterday. In TWRP, my external storage isn't detected...

you use stock recovery or custom recovery, if you use stock recovery external-storage won't detected

Hello,
Thank you Bar4, I explained above how I fixed my problems. Now I'm searching a way to make TWRP (TWRP 3.0) detect my external storage to install Cyanogenmod 13.0. If it's really not possible, I would try with CWM (I have seen it in your screen).
Edit : I guess custom, TWRP. It's why I don't understand why it doesn't allow me to mount SD card or doesn't detect this same SD Card.

i use twrp 3.0 too, but external sd detected. no need to put on external storage, you can flash Cm 13 through internal storage
if you want to install custom rom it's better if you make a backup first, so if happen you failed when installing new rom or maybe you don't like it (new rom) you can go back to stock rom through TWRP restore

Ok, failed again...

Try a different rom or redownload the rom it might have been a bad download.
The error message says there is no updater script in the zip meaning it can't install anything as the updater script tells what directories to install the files if I seen it correctly that is.

maybe the CM 13 zip file you have download corrupted, try to re-download and re-flash it again. if still failed try another rom
( i'm using AICP Rom "based on CM 13 too") try it, it's awesome Rom ---> do clean install wipe all except internal storage and external storage

Hi,
Sorry for this late answer. As I failed to install those roms (CM13, Bliss), I'm going to stop here and wait for the Marsmallow update. But I'm happy my phone isn't brik anymore.
Thank you all.

HTC 10 doesnt show up in Windows explorer apfter TWRP wipe

Hello guys,
I just installed TWRP onto my HTC 10. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the recovery with TWRP. I backed up the default system and then wiped the Dalvik /ART Cache, the system partition, data partion and internal storage. As I now wanted to install LineageOS my device doesn't show up in the windows explorer. I tried rebooting the phone into recovery mode but it didn't work. So basically I can't accses my phone from my pc.
Can you give me some advice?
################ SOLVED ###################
I booted into TWRP. I chose "wipe" and then selected "format data". The description of "format data" already says "will remove the encryption of your phone". So I formated my phone, insalled LineageOS and GApps and the system is running, no password needed.

So basically you wiped everything you could without knowing what you were actually wiping, and what wiping that stuff would actually do to your phone?
When you wipe the system partition you won't have an OS unless you flash a ROM directly after.
Place a ROM onto your extSD and put that into your phone. Boot to recovery and flash the ROM.

I'm aware of what a wipe does, but I wasn't prepared for this case. I flashed a couple Samsung Devices and after flashing them I still had access to the phone via my pc as long I was in recovery mode. But it seems to me, that I found the problem. The device is, as far as I know, encryped by default and a signal loss after wiping/flashing the device is common.

However, I managed to install LineageOS and GApps, and the system boots. But after the boot is completed I am facing a screen where I have to enter a password to unlock Android. And I dont know which password I have to enter.
Do you know how to continue?
Thanks for your help, I really apprechiate it.

Obviously you didn't exactly know, because if you did you would have known that wiping /system would leave you with no OS.
Not slagging you here. I did the exact same thing when I had just got my 2nd gen Nexus 7 and switched to TWRP from CWM for the first time.
For your password issue:
twrp > advanced > file manager > data > system ~ delete the locksettings.db files and reboot

Thank you for your reply!
Unfortunatley, the folder "data" doesn't contain any subfolder or file. Do you still know how to unlock my device?

Twrp doubt

I have installed the latest oficial TWRP in my Whyred , flashed "lazy flasher file" so TWRP is not going to be replaced by the stock recovery...
Yesterday I was testing Pie ROMS " havok, PE, Syberia" I always in TWRP : format data, then wipe everything , .... At this point there isn't nothing in my pone right ? I mean, no system, just the recovery intact
Then flash ROM and Gapps from OTG USB, and test the ROM .
Some times after the "clean flash" at the startup there is a message like "this phone was restarted, enter pin" (I know my pin) so I proceed and no prob.
Why this message , is there still some trace of a previous ROM ?... Im I cleaning the right way?, I swipe everything except for the USB OTG ... In the storage after full wipe in TWRP internal memory is something like 51000 (51gb) TWRP is like 13Gb ?....
I am doing the things right ? Is TWTP that heavy ?
Please some advice or info
