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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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?

Hello,
As Google has decided to turn encryption on as a standard in the upcoming Android 5.0, I thought I would give it a test on my CosmicCM 5.4.
I started the encryption and it prompts you that you for a passcode that will be used from now on, so far no problem.
It started encrypting my device and it was running for some time(I left it alone for an hour) and reboots a couple of times.
After he's finished the annoyance came.
first you will have to type twice your password with a reboot, one time do decrypt your device the second time to enter your device.
Be aware that performance can be slowed through encryption, and it can negatively impact battery life too.
So I decide to go back.
The Problem: Once encrypted, you can't decrypt it easily.
When encrypting the phone android will tell you you can only decrypt it using a factory reset. Naturally you assume it's talking about the "Factory Data Reset" option found in Settings --> Backup and Reset and this works.
Now I wanted to try a rom (TW 4.2.2 based) and see how this worked and after installing and booting.
I got prompted to enter the decryption and of course this didn’t work anymore as there is no data for the password.
So I assumed you can wipe everything from your custom recovery mod (CWM, TWRP, or one of those).
Wrong! You'll get beautiful "can't mount /data" messages and more.
After some hard time I got everything working again, by flashing CosmicCM again.
The phone booted al clean again without asking for encryption and when you check the menu it also mentioned encryption is deactivated.
Trying the previous rom again just triggerd the encryption again.
So It seems that there is still somewhere a hidden encrypted protection that will be activated when I flash a different rom.
So be warned and don’t play with encrypting your device as you could brick it.
Didn't have time to investigate further on how I can remove it completely, but my guess is I have to redo all the partitions.
I was on the same boat a month ago

Since encryption is in the news right now with iPhones perhaps it's time we Android users looked into it more. I'm interested to hear other people's experiences. Did it work at all? Did it affect performance? Were you able to do upgrades after?

Tested encryption and can verify it works 100%. But, there is a catch. It's always going to be a one-way street. Typically, when you encrypt a regular Android phone, the only way to decrypt it is to do a factory reset.
The only way to go back to an unencrypted state with our Fire Phones would be to format data (not wipe data) in Safestrap.
Unfortunately, this means you lose EVERYTHING. So you will definitely want to store any TWRP backups you have on your computer first.
Fortunately though, you will end up with a clean CM11 install after formatting data. Then all you have to do is go back and restore whatever TWRP backups you made before encrypting in the first place.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it's working on slimkit, suppose working on CM11, but yes, you have to do factory reset for decryption.
When I encrypted, the encryption itself was fine, but Safestrap can't access /media that I know of. I put .zips in /cache and it worked like a charm. You'll need root to do that, though.
--EDIT--
If you also want to perform a NAND dump while encrypted, Onandroid seems to do a fantastic job at it.
Hey Guys,
When I got my OP3 I unlocked the bootloader right away and installed FreedomOS to get rid of the bloatware. As this is my first device, which comes with a locked bootloader and decryption, I have some questions about this topic. I was wondering that the encryption does not make any sense when you unlock your bootloader, because if somebody steals your phone, he can just enter twrp and access all your data. Then I flashed CM and after that TWRP was asking me to set a pin or pattern to lock my phone. Now I've to unlock my phone every time I want to enter the recovery or boot the system with a pattern, which is great, because now the encryption is not worthless anymore. Now I'm asking myself if this feature is somehow integrated into CM or was it just random that I found this feature? Is there any way to get this also with OOS installed? What things do I have to note to not accidentally make my phone unencryptable with the pattern? Is this even possible, maybe by flashing a new recovery or so?
Thanks in advance

If your phone is encrypted, TWRP has to prompt you to decrypt the /data partition before it can be mounted. This isn't a CM feature, it should act like this with any ROM if phone encryption is enabled. I've flashed most every rom and version of twrp in this forum and they all seem to work fine with the encryption enabled. I have not flashed multiboot yet as that requires your phone to be completely unencrypted. Not sure if that answers your question.
If security is your concern though, I would recommend switching to a passphrase instead of pattern for encryption unless your pattern is very long and complex. I recommend a passphrase of at least 16 characters.

When you first booted up your stock phone and went through setup it asks if you want to secure the phone using pin/pattern/passphrase. I think that is where it is created then that key is written somewhere, not on the data or system partitions because is persists between wipes, and that is where TWRP and all future roms are authenticating you.

Here is how to decrypt without losing data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/unencrypt-oxygenos-loosing-data-t3412228
There is another article I think I saw it on the OnePlus forums about how to decrypt and wipe which will let you change the passphrase I think.
Basically if you decrypt, then flash Oxygen or Hydrogen without SuperSU it will force you to re-encrypt. At least that is my understanding as I haven't decrypted yet.
Good luck

As far as I understood it, it's all about wiping userdata, which I did before flashing Freedom OS. This might explain why I had no encryption... Still strange that it did not prompt me again to set a new one...

When a user elects to change or remove their password in settings, the UI sends the command cryptfs changepw to vold, and vold re-encrypts the disk master key with the new password.

I can confirm that. I changed my pattern and unlocked the phone with it at booting.
If I remove my password it still says "encrypted" in security but I don't have to enter any pattern at boot.
Mine says "Encrypted" under Settings > Security & Fingerprint > Encryption but I can boot into TWRP and browse the entire file system without ever entering my pin code.

Sounds like you have the same issue like I had. It seems to me like an issue in OOS.
This is awesome. I thought rooting and unlocking the bootloader to install custom ROMs would need the phone to be decrypted -- great, great news!
So without knowing the passphrase a possible attacker can't get to the data even when the bootloader is unlocked and OS rooted?

Yes, all your data is being decrypted after your enter the passphrase.
Does anyone have any idea how I can encrypt my phone if it already says Settings > Security & fingerprint > Encryption > Encrypt phone = "Encrypted"? It's clearly not actually encrypted because I do not have to enter any pin to boot or read data in TWRP.

Hey, thanks! The "require PIN to start device" screen doesn't make any mention of encryption, so I was under the impression that it was far more basic and wasn't at all related to encryption. I tried it though and now TWRP does ask me to decrypt my data partition, so it does work. Thanks for the assist!
been following this thread and i had a quick questions - so it looks like if you unlock BL and run a custom ROM, you can still have the security of encryption, but does this ONLY apply to the USERDATA partition?
for example, could someone launch TWRP recovery on your phone and flash something into the SYSTEM partition without ever touching your userdata partition (ie, a keylogger or malware)?
It seems to me that only the data partition is encrypted, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. I looked at the Android full disk encryption page and I only see mentions of the data partition.

I see no reason behind encrypting system, it's used read-only anyway as long as you don't flash something to it.
edit: Ah I see now what you mean. But if you have stock recovery you can also simply flash twrp over it or flash something to system via adb... I don't know if it would even be possible technically to encrypt system. Anyway I think the only solution would be to lock the bootloader I think. I don't know what actually happens if you lock your bootloader again while on twrp and custom rom, might brick your device
Hell guys. I switched from OOS 3.4.2 to CM13 last week. The Phone ist still encrypted. Now my question.
Is it worth to decrypt the phone via TWRP or ADB command ? I mean, i disabled PIN at boot. So i think im able to flash updated CM13 zip's and TWRP updates. I hope i'm right but i think it's possible.
What do you guys think ? Is my phone much faster after decrypting ?
Nvm. I decrypted it with TWRP and installed all new. Now it's not encrypted with CM13.
Well i did some research and i don't believe decrypting would be much of a boost in performance. What are your findings right now? noticed any boost in performance? and what exactly did you do in TWRP to decrypt it?
what re the benefits of decrypt. I believe im still encrypted as I have never wiped my data...
i think its a bit faster now. but its not really noticeable
Probably the only reason you would unencrypt is to install MultiROM I guess.

I might give it a try if I decrypt my device. Also just the thought of being able to switch to OOS for the camera in a snap is not suvh a bad idea..
i'm running sultan's CM and still have encryption on - OTA updates via CM still work fine, it just requests I enter the same password/PIN I do every time the device boots (As well as whenever I go into recovery).
it's annoying during flashing and updating but I'm glad to see it work since if someone stole my device they woudln't get any of my data nor would they be able to flash anything malicious onto my device without my knowing, and i don't notice any lag in day to day use.

I clicked wrongly in Titanium Backup.
I clicked Freeze All.
Now I'm in Bootloop. I can start Fastboot mode, but not Recovery or Rescue.

How do I get the apps working again?
Or how do I start a complete new installation?

I didn't know that Titanium Backup can do this, break a device almost completely by pressing the wrong button.
So the question is: Did the OP do something wrong before, or can this be replicated without issue?
I mean, it's a risky endeavor anyway. To use a root level backup app that wasn't optimized/made for Android 12. There's a reason why people have been recommending Swift for years now.

I used to use TB wayyyyy back when. I think I still have a paid license for it somewhere.
I'm not totally sure how this could happen; an educated guess is that OP froze a bunch of system apps, causing a kernel panic. No idea why it would mess up /boot though, screwing up /system to the point of a kernel panic would generally result in a bootloop where the kernel starts to load, but hits the same panic and restarts the device.
It's certainly risky using root backup apps that aren't updated for use on modern Android systems...

Nobody said kernel panic. OP said *bootloop*, which will happen if certain expected services fail to start as expected, which can happen if you disable the wrong package. If he disabled *everything* (as he suggests), then this is logically what will happen.
I would definitely suggest NOT using "titanium backup" -- its closed source (and unmaintained, no update in 2 years!!!), so there's no way to know what its doing. Use oandbackupx (find on f-droid), which is open source and maintained (most recent update a few hours ago).

Bootloop on Android can either be a kernel panic or other fatal stop error, such as dependent services failing to start as you described. Either way, it's transparent to the user, who simply sees the device restart. Android is built in such a way that a failure in the boot or runtime process will generally not result in a freeze requiring a hard reset, but will rather restart the device.
@V-Ripper I would have recommended you try reflashing /boot and /system before wiping. Were you able to resolve the issue?
I wonder if op could have booted to safe mode. That should have disabled all the apps. Including TB I think.
Sorry for the OP's problem, but I thought Titanium Backup stopped working a year or so ago. Does it work on the P6 and P6 Pro now?

It's nice to hear that your device is working again!

Bootloop on Android can either be a kernel panic or other fatal stop error, such as dependent services failing to start as you described. Either way, it's transparent to the user, who simply sees the device restart. Android is built in such a way that a failure in the boot or runtime process will generally not result in a freeze requiring a hard reset, but will rather restart the device.
@V-Ripper I would have recommended you try reflashing /boot and /system before wiping. Were you able to resolve the issue?

Yes, but based on what he said, its not a kernel panic.
