Hi guys
I would like to know if anyone has managed to have their LG G4 fully encrypted while retaining root (systemless or normal root) and TWRP (2.8.6.0 or 2.8.7.0).
I attempted it once - without a nandroid backup - and lost everything. I believe on the Nexus 6 some users have found that they can flash the stock boot.img and then encrypt the device. Once encrypted they can boot into TWRP and root again and it prompts them for a password. I would guess this is for a newer version of TWRP that works with Nexus encryption though.
Thanks
I have a G5 Cedric XT1671 DUALSIM that comes by default encrypted and when flashing some custom ROM with Oreo the encryption prevents me from accessing the system. I have searched in xda but the only that I found doesn't work, I formatted the cell phone from scratch, flashed the stock and tried to flash from a custom 7.1.2 to go to 8 and I could not. Does anyone know how I could remove the encryption?
Currently I have Viper OS 7.1.2
Flash stock firmware and then twrp, after that install this via twrp: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298927206, then reboot the device and flash your custom rom.
REMEMBER; If you are flashing android 8.1, you must have a 64bit enabled twrp installed rather than the regular one, this does not apply to 8.0.
It happens to me that I think the same thing, flash stock, then installs the recovery, and when you get it you ask for the encryption key, cancel it, then do a full wipe and install the ROM
As far as I'm aware we (A3 2017 stock users) cannot use TWRP (3.2.3.0) with an encrypted device while still being able to make full use of the recovery. Does anyone know about a way or a patched version of TWRP that supports decrypting for stock roms?
Hi everyone.
I had a issue and i really want help
I had unlock the OEM,and after installing the twrp and format data (to remove the forced encrypt), i had flash the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt zip file.
Okay, after that i have restarted the device and configure as my away to use, after that, booted on recovery again and flashed the magisk.
But i wanna encrypt my device, and when i go to configs->security and encrypt area, says that my device its not encrypted. Okay, i followed the steps and when i gonna try to encrypt the device, the process start and... some seconds after, the phone just restart and nothing has done.
The onlys changes that i have made on system is: root and flashed a splash.img(without that stupid warning of unlocked bootloader)
I really want to encrypt my device, so, if i get stolen, the thief wont get my user data.
Can anyone help me?
Flash the stock rom and and don't flash the encryption disabler next time. You don't need to install TWRP to flash Magisk either, you can just boot it and then flash Magisk. Also you don't even need TWRP, you can just follow the guide in the forum to install Magisk by booting the magisk patched boot.img for your version of the stock ROM and then install Magisk manually via Magisk Manager.
TL;DR : Flash stock ROM and do the same things except flashing dm-verity-disabler, you don't need that for Magisk or TWRP.

Sir, i really need twrp now, its there any way i can enable encrypt after rooting the device? (to sure that, if gets stolen, the data need to be wipped out or the password must be given on twrp)
Same issue, i tried to encrypt on security menu,reboot and nothing was done.
@edit
Better, without TWRP, i can flash other zips via magisk/stock recovery?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, do you want to have TWRP + stock encryption?
If so you can just boot TWRP and flash the TWRP installer package (.zip) inside TWRP to do that. And you don't need to change anything, currently I have TWRP installed and encryption enabled on my Stock ROM.
But if you're trying to get TWRP's own encryption, sadly that doesn't work.
You can also use TWRP without flashing/installing it, just go to the directory TWRP is stored in, open a command line, connect your phone and boot it with this command :
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
then flash whatever you'd like.
DO NOT lock your bootloader after you flash something on TWRP, this will most probably brick the device.

I want to stick with the stock rom rooted, with the twrp installed and the user data encrypted
So i can flash things through TWRP even i have encrypt enabled?
@edit
dont worry about bootloader, i will keep unlocked
It's perfectly fine to have TWRP and/or Magisk and encryption using stock ROM.
Flash stock ROM (erase user data)
Install TWRP
install Magisk
Don't flash the encryption Disabler. As its name implies, it disables the automatic encryption of the userdata partition.

I'm flashing TWRP version from official TWRP website for poco F3. Successfully flash temporary and make it permanent using flash this TWRP version.
Boot up to stock miui (im not flashing custom rom yet), work fine. I want to flash magisk, but TWRP wong detect storage or the magisk zip. Anyone can help?
Official TWRP doesn't support Android 12's Encryption yet, that's why /data partition appears empty.
You need to use unofficial TWRP "skkk": https://dl.akr-developers.com/?dir=skkk/TWRP/A12
