TWRP Unable to Mount encrypted /data partition - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a retail 910V converted to DE, and so far I've been pretty happy, except that I can't seem to get TWRP to mount my /data partition after encrypting the phone. I understand that TWRP will need my password to mount the partition correctly, but it doesn't seem to have the option anywhere to accept that password.
Anything I can do? And if I want to do a factory reset, how would I go about doing that given TWRP can't seem to access the partition at all?
Thanks all!

TWRP can't mount sdcard or /data

So I flahed the new MDB08M image and since it uses the "I" boot image I went ahead and flashed the modified boot.img and flashed TWRP and used it to root as I didn't have SuperSU zip on the device yet. After flashing the new system I didn't do any factory reset.
Now TWRP says that internal storage is 0mb and it can't mount /data. Every time I boot into it, it comes up with the screen asking me if I want to modify /system or leave it read only. I check the box to not show it again and swipe to modify.
I've tried using adb again to flash recovery but it didn't help. Any suggestions?
Edit: bootloader also sais I'm secure, and in security it sais I'm encrypted..
TWRP can't decrypt /data on the N5X yet. You can format from TWRP, but you'll lose the contents, of course.

I thought by flashing the modified boot image that would decrypt? It did on MDB08I..
The modified boot just changes flag to encrytable instead of force encryption. It doesn't actually decrypt the drive contents. Once you wipe it then you can mount data in TWRP.

Edit: reflashed firmware, flashed modified boot and did a factory reset in stock recovery. reflashed TWRP and all is good. thank you

could not mount /data and "unable to find crypto footer

Hello.
I attempted to flash the Open Beta 7 (OTA_011) zip with TWRP to my OnePlus 3 and it broke everything.
The flash went normally, like with previous updates, but this time, I couldn't flash SuperSU over it. So I rebooted, hoping it worked.
I was presented by a "Decryption failed" screen, with the only option to factory reset.
The problem is, that I don't have any backups of my data, because FolderSyncLite aparently doesn't work at all.
When I got back into TWRP, my /data partition wasn't mounted, with the error
Code:
could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer
TWRD shows the Data partition as 0MB. I know the data couldn't have just disappeared.
My best guess is that the userdata partition got corrupted somehow, and because it was encrypted, the entire partition is now useless.
TWRP's fsck.f2fs fails with error 255 (glitched error -1?), probably because it's encrypted.
Is there anything I can do to recover my data? Could I copy the raw partition to my computer and process it there?
Could I manually rebuild the broken header/footer? I still know the pattern/PIN and I don't think they're not salted.
I know there's some brilliant people on here. Please help.
Use the mega unbrick guide and everything will be fine
Edit: i didn't read that you're want to recover your data ... Hmm probably you can't recover your data anymore because your partition is currupted.
Look, change the data partition to ext4. It should work because sometimes the partition gets formatted to a corrupted form of f2fs. If it doesn't work, just wipe userdata and try again. It sure should work. Don't be shocked. Happens.
Thanks for the replies.
I tried a few more things, but the partition was beyond help. Full-disk encryption isn't very fault-tolerant.
I'll be using two sync programs from now on, just in case.

cant mount in twrp, 0 mbs

I just tried to flash the twrp in development but when i try to make a backup or anything it fails to mount and says my storage is 0mbs. I have encryption enabled in android not sure if it matters. Anyone know how to get twrp working?
First off, this is the proper TWRP version: https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/
And TWRP will not mount an encrypted drive as far as I know. Decrypt, make your backup, encrypt again.

[QUESTION] Why do I have to continualy wipe the /data partition?

I finally properly rooted my A5 2017 (SW-A520W) and installed the TWRP recovery. But I can't do a full backup of the phone. It won't let me have access to /data. I know this is because the partition is encrypted. I also know I am to run no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0 zip after wiping the /data partition. But guess what?! Everytime I go back into recovery, /data is encrypted again.
Please Help.
