Can I flash RR ROM on crdroid without wiping my data..??!

No, you will brick your device, clean flash

Hey guys, I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp and root. Then I proceeded to do a fastboot format userdata. But after the boot the encryption was still there. Now I am running PureNexus latest build along with ElementalX kernel. I would like to remove encryption when I will be flashing another rom, How do I do that? Do I simply need to do a fastboot format userdata? Will I lose Twrp and root if I do that?
If you format user data and then boot with the stock kernel it will just re encrypt the device.
Only way to stop this to format usersata and then BEFORE booting the device flashing a kernel or custom rom with force encrypt disabled.
Keep in mind the installation instructions that come with your custom ROM or kernel though. Some require you to be on stock before flashing.
I would generally consider dirty flashing a different ROM over purenexus a bad idea, so you best revert to stock, format user data to disable encryption, do a factory reset then install the new custom rom.
You will lose everything though and have to start from scratch. You may get away with using titanium backup for backup and restoring apps if you know what you are doing.
If the ROM has a kernel with force encrypt disabled then you just flash the whole ROM through fastboot and boot it. What ROM are going to try?
Someone told me on reddit to just simply format data using twrp and that it will remove the encryption and wipe my whole internal storage. Is that correct?
I believe it does just that.
got CM 12.1 release installed on my sgh-t999 and am wanting to update to latest 12.1 nightly, do I just wipe cache/dalvik and then flash via twrp and then flash gapps or should I wipe data as well and then flash? also, do I need to flash gapps every time I flash a new nightly?
You can try dirty flashing the new nightly over the old nightly. There should be no need to perform a full wipe and re-install gapps unless you have altered the old nightly to much to let a dirty flash work.
I understand about dirty flashing one nightly over the next, but was curious if it was any different flashing a nightly over a 'release'
Nope, should not make any difference.
So I don't have to wipe cache or dalvik? Just flash?
Yup. If it doesn't boot, you may gave to perform a full wipe before installing.

I'm
Wipe all
Flash firmware 7.12.7 and try 7.11.26
Install rom
Install gapp
Wipe cache
Reboot
But my phone is bootloop
How to install mokee rom ?
Thanks all.
After installing rom, gapps, you need to format all data user. Then, you can reboot your device without any problem.
Format data is not wiping all, it's another button in twrp wipe
Hi, on other phones I used to dirty flash without any problem.
My question is, if I use an encrypted rom (ex. Codename Phoenix) how can I flash another ROM without need to wipe everything and restore everything afterwards?

I don't think you can avoid a full wipe when going from an encrypted ROM to an decrypted ROM but I could be wrong.
What's the proper way to dirty flash? I used to be able to dirty flash on my OnePlus One by just flashing the ROM and Gapps and it'll boot right away. But with the 5T, half the time this method doesn't work anymore and I get stuck on the splash screen. I don't use passwords or pins so there should be no encryption, but even when I flash no-verity.zip, my phone still gets stuck on the splash screen.

wipe dalvik art cache, cache and system
I do that just like with all my other phones, but it just hangs on the splash screen. Dirty flashing used to be so simple but now even clean flash doesn't work 100%.

Don't wipe Dalvik / ART cache, you will have problems. Factory Reset will I usually make it boot again. If you do a clean flash boot once before installing things like Magisk.
Wipe cache, Flash ROM, Gapps, Kernel if you run a custom ROM.
Make sure you are not using the official TWRP, either codeworkx or blu_spark (eng.stk). Having. a password or pin is NOT a problem.

Factory Reset and even wipe data doesn't boot. Only way I got it to boot was to wipe internal storage. It would however flash stock OxygenOS fine though. It's just every time I tried to dirty flash or even clean flash Havoc OS without wiping internal storage I'd get issues it seems.

I would ask in the Havoc OS thread then. That would seem out of the ordinary. For Lineage most people dirty flash every week. I clean flash every so often, but I basically never clean flash my wife or sons phone, no issues. So these issue might be isolated to the ROM you are trying to run.
Not to mention wiping internal storage all the time would be very annoying...

I've asked in the Havoc OS thread but the instructions to clean and dirty flash are the same as when I first played with custom ROMs back in the Samsung Galaxy S days. Wipe system, wipe data, wipe the two caches, etc etc.
If you're using a Substratum theme, make sure to disable all overlays before flashing.
Sorry for digging this post, but with android 10 there is no way to decrypt the data partition.
So how do you dirty flash android 10 "properly" ?
