i recently bought the samsung galaxy nexus.i followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
to unlock bootloader install recovery and root i also had latest ota from google(jelly bean JRO03C) and installed no further mods.Yesterday i installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28559395#post28559395 and then my odyssey began.the phone starting bootlooping.i was scared so i wiped cache dalvik cache formatted system and installed bigxie maguro ota.unfortunately bootloops continue.i dont want to full wipe my phone since i have essential sms and contacts which i havent backuped.anyone can help me solve the problem?thnx in advance
but do you used the first or the second one?the first says that's not compatible with ota...you have to used this..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28616532#post28616532
you can adb push the right files and flash it over...and if you haven't a nandroid,i don't think there are other possibilities to not loose sms and others..a reflash delete them..
yep i used this but my rom(google official) wasnt deodexed.Update i flashed a google image with option 9 in gnex toolkit and bootloops still remain

1) the extended power menu mod you wanted to use said it does not work with the OTA. no matter what you do, you will need to reflash at minimum the system image from stock.
2) if that doesnt work, you need to reflash totally back to stock and you will lose everything.

if you used fastboot, you can just flash the system image by itself. this would preserve user data.
also, toolkits are just a bad idea.

to be asking how to get out of a simple bootloop, what that says is that op doesnt know what he's doing.
people, don't point new users to toolkits. it only makes troubleshooting harder, what's user error, what isn't.

totally agree,i personally always doing all with fastboot with mine 3 fastbootable devices.it's a known fact from some time that toolkit it's best leave them where it is..but new people\user don't listen this reccomendation and always goes into trouble.often the convenience of a UI preserve you to understand better why a thing was happen.begin to read how to use fastboot command,there are plenty of guides out there

You have to wipe data from stock before using a 3rd party rom.
This is why you get the error. Why lineage works, I don't have any idea.
No concerns here, something must have gone wrong or a bad download. I ran lineage 15 and many other roms without any security red flags

I downloaded it twice. But if it was a bad download, why did it make an encrypted partition? And why would you assume a ROM built with malware would tell you it has malware?

I'm not saying you shouldn't be skeptical and weary installing software from an unknown source, there's always that possibility I guess. But I also don't see many others with issues. So I'm not sure what you did wrong if anything but I doubt there's a security issues. Also the devs are normally frequent contributors to multiple devices and this forum has been here a long time. I doubt you're dealing with malware
NODE06 said:
I think the flippant attitude towards the security of your phone is disheartening.
People have worked for companies for years as the perfect employee until someone offered them enough money to steal documents. I do not care how long a dev was here, if they cannot explain why they have an encrypted partition on their ROM that is troubling. And if there are not diffs I can look at who the hell know which nightly update they slipped malware in.
Malware being hidden in ROMs are nothing new:

Maybe someone else can help you further, but I don't think you have much to worry about if you downloaded from vaches link.
I'm not super technically advanced and I don't know how to code. But I've been around the rooting and custom rom scene for a long time. Just giving you my 2 cents since you asked for it.
Have you posted your issue on the main thread for LOS15?
I believe it has something to do with older versions of twrp for our phone. I didn't have this problem at all. So if we downloaded the same file...how can mine not do it, and yours do it? Would be logical to think its something else...like twrp. Older versions of twrp for this phone had quite a few issues. One I believe was dealing with encryption.
In fact, this has to be a twrp issue. I just clean flashed to PA 7.1.2 with no issue and then clean flashed back to LOS 15 with no issue. No asking for passwords, nothing. 100% normal. There is absolutely no virus or spyware in this ROM, and it is absurd to think otherwise.
I have an answer for you. I formatted my system partition and cache to f2fs just wanted to see if it would boot all f2fs but as the ROM booted I got stopped at that exact same dilemma i then reverted my system and cache partitions back to ext4 reinstalled the ROM and gapps and magisk manager and it booted into los15 so I can only say that whilst u was repairing and resizing your partitions u maybe without realising formatted system/cache into f2fs. Hope this helps bud?.
NODE06 said:
Are you saying you has a screen that asked you to enter a password to decrypt your drive?
Also, I only changed the partition type AFTER I had the error in an attempt to fix my phone. Exevry parition was formatted as default EXT4.
REPEATING MYSELF AGAIN: Why are you not concerned that there is an encrypted partition on your drive with a simple known password?

Well you must made that encrypted partition yourself. Lineage doesn't do that. And why formatting data to ext4? Moto devices are always f2fs on data partitions. And if you don't trust us devs, then go back to stock and trust Motorola.

This makes no sense. Please use complete sentences.
NODE06 said:
I think I would have REMEMBERED making an encrypted partition myself with a passowrd "lineage". But someone else had the same issue so that is impossible.
And AGAIN, I had this issue BEFORE I changed the format. I changed the format to repair my phone. And either EXT4 or F2FS will work on a moto G5 plus. They are drive formats and have nothing to do with encryption.

Again, lineage does not encrypt your /data partition. Only the user or stock does. If you use ext4 and change to stock say bye to your whole data partition.
NODE06 said:
I did not say it encrypts the DATA partition, I think it is encrypting the system partition or making a whole new encrypted partition.
I am not the only one who saw this happen.
AND AGAIN I did not make ANY CHANGES to my file partitions before this happened.
AND AGAIN why did it only accept the password "lineage". I never made, nor know how to make, an encrypted partition so linage MUST HAVE MADE IT.
At this point I do not know whether you are misunderstanding me or obfuscating to cover up for someone. Maybe I need to recreate and take photos.

Lol, encrypted system partition. Like that exists on android. You didnt't format your data partition in twrp, thats why it happened. And I understand you clearly, but it's not possible
NODE06 said:
Format the data partition? To what? It does not say that anywhere in the install instructions. I WIPED THE DATA FOR THE EFFING SIXTEENTH TIME.
And I said it might be the system partition. And I said that only because the password is asked for so early and is a TEXT PASSWORD.

"AND AGAIN I did not make ANY CHANGES to my file partitions before this happened." you say something different here.
Anyway you need to format the whole data partition as stated in twrp thread otherwise you get encryption problems. But I doubt you will listen now.

Unfortunate that it happened to you, but If you were actually right I am sure it would affect us all which is clearly not the case. Oreo is a treat and everything that matters actually works great(thanks to Vache). If you're so suspicious then maybe stay a mile away from custom ROMS and rooting. They aren't for you but stop being so rude and ungrateful for what you're getting for free. Vache is an outstanding dev and has been working on Lineage for potter since long. So do us a favor and yourself and just get off xda if you are so paranoid about your own mistake.
EDIT:The password could be anything btw and it would still fail to decrypt. I had faced the same problem and everything I entered was "correct" password. So no **** Sherlock its definitely no one's fault.
NODE06 said:
I told you I DID FORMAT (WIPE) THE DATA PARTITION. I did not change it to F2FS as some other mentioned.

Please answer just these two questions:
1 - What version of TWRP are you using?
2 - In TWRP did you choose Wipe, then in the next screen Format Data (looks like a gray button at bottom right) and NOT Advanced Wipe, then in the next screen you typed 'yes' to continue after the warning in red letters?

Its because your internal storage is encrypted,
Use twrp from hendibul (or something similarly named) or format your data(not wipe data).
BTW you should ask this question in respected thread. Or search before.

If you can afford to loose all your data,
Go to twrp then wipe, there is one more option beside advanced wipe, wipe data or format data, press that, type yes,
You will loose all your content in internal storage.
Move rom zip from pc and flash the rom.
Note:you should be on official twrp. Not on unofficial one.
Once i messed up too much with this and flashing with qfil was the last solution, but it will work 100000%,cant say if its necessary or not.

Hey guys,
I just upgraded htc 10 to the latest official version of lineageos, but the installation got stuck in recovery and then I restarted normally.
Unfortunately, I lost the radio signal: no SIM detected! What do you recommend? Can I flash the previous build without encrypt / decrypt issues on partition phone?
I'm on nougat firmware, S-OFF.
Thanks in advance,
Robe
Some details might help .....

It might be useful to know more specifics about the device we are talking about ? Did you make a COMPLETE Nandroid backup (e.g. with TWRP) before you tried flashing the new image, etc.... What was on it before? What did you (not) wipe prior to attempting the install.... SPECIFICALLY, one could ASSUME a previous LOS build, but assumptions are often dangerous. Also, shouldn't lose the IMEI absent a serious glitch. You CAN blow it away if you wipe the area in TWRP but that would lead to a hope that you also backed it up first. If you CAN, restore what was there before all of this unhappiness began and try again ? Good Luck.

Hi nezlek! You're right: here some useful answer.
Device we are talking about ? HTC 10
Did you make a COMPLETE Nandroid backup ? No... :silly:
What was on it before? lineage-14.1-20180411-nightly-pme-signed.zip
When OTA update has been notified, I installed using the rom tool (not twrp). During the update procedure it stopped in twrp, so I just restarted to system. Then I noticed that the radio did not work anymore...
PS: it's more safer to flash the new build in twrp or continue to use system rom ota update?
Ouch

FIRST - Always better (in my book) to flash with TWRP. Others my have different experiences and opinions but it has never let me down.
You predicament is, in a word, not good. If I were you, I would first try re-flashing the previous Lineage build via TWRP. Unfortunately you are probably going to lose some data in all of this. If anything works well enough to backup your system and data partitions, do that first and move that to removable storage and remove it so it is SAFE. Maybe you have Titanium Backup and can do some of the pieces you need ?? Boot into TWRP and re-flash the build file that was on it before this all started. If that "dirty" flash doesn't give you anything useful, try wiping cache, davlik, etc... and repeating (a full factory reset). If THAT fails, download the zip file(s) - LOS, su-add-on, gapps, etc... and pretend you are doing it for the first time (maybe even wipe data and system but then, your stuff is GONE without a backup). But at this point, what have you got to lose? ASSUMING you get things back to a proper working condition, only then do a complete backup and ponder starting over again. The radio, who knows? Losing the IMEI info is much more of a problem since carriers will often not like that. I know it is trivially easy to restore IMEI data on an MTK device, but yours I have no personal knowledge of. There ARE places that will apparently do it for you if you do a little judicious web searching and are willing to part with a little cash for it, but SOMEBODY out here on XDA has to know how to do it for what you have.
And I'm NOT going to say somebody told you so, but they did. NEVER do this sort of thing without a backup in hand or a willingness to wave goodbye to whatever you have installed on or done to a device. I spend not more than 10 minutes a week doing a Nandroid of devices I use regularly. It has saved me a hell of a lot more time than that the very few times I've needed it. So, with apologies for rubbing salt in the wound, it is always better to have 'em and not need 'em than to need 'em and not have 'em
One thing is pretty certain. Most of us rarely repeat this sort of thing. Good Luck.

Yesterday, installing OTA and going from 20191008 to 20191010 destroyed my IMEIs on my Moto X4 payton.
Any idea why this happened?
Which method is more effective when trying to survive a catastrophic event, e.g., endless bootloops, faultyROM, device will not boot, etc.?

Well if you want Android 10 nandroid is no longer an option as no twrp. But answering the actually question unless your 1000% sure that nandroid is clean and free of the problem a factory reset or to install from Google factory image would be better

Sorry, the question was more from a Custom ROM perspective for folks who are 'flashoholics'. Although TWRP is not fully supported for Android 10, that issue alone doesn't discredit the fact that many developers of Android 10 Custom ROMS have been able to circumvent that caveat.

True but as far as i know without twrp you cannot make a nandroid backup. Thus not a valid question for Android 10 users as it simply isn't an option. Perhaps you are thinking doing some sort of dd backup?
