Hi Guys! I have a problem, and i really don't know how can i fix it.
My phone boots normally, but when boot finish this error appear in the screen:
«Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. Phone data cannot be used anymore.
To continue using your phone, you must restore factory settings. After the restoration, you can restore data backed up in your Google Account to your phone»
There is a "Reset Phone" button but if i push it nothing happen.
I have tried to clear data/cache in recovery but nothing changed, I have tried to install a new ROM (i tried a lot of ROMS) but when it arrive to 50% more or less installation fails.
I have tried this guide oppoforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-recover-your-bricked-find-7-7a.23067/ but it cannot work (Image Attachment)
Also FASTBOOT can't work. (For exemple: if i try to flash recovery it fails remote: failed to flash recovery / erase userdata / cache)
I really don't know where can i also looking
Help me please!
Anyone?
I'm having the same problem....
Restoring an old backup woth TWRP results in the same error.....
hi guys this happened to me too,
luckily I had twrp 2.8.6.0 flashed for recovery.
think you should still be able to get into fastboot if you do a battery pull
then poweron with the powerbutton and volume up till you see the oppo man icon.
then you should be able to flash your recovery with the latest twrp.
if you seen the penquin then this may not work for you. As i have not done a hard recovery before so i dont know if it would work.
I saw the oppo man so i was able to fix it by:
booting into twrp recovery,
i selected wipe --> advanced and there was an additional option to do a wipe for encrypted volumes and i selected all partitions to be wiped
then i installed i had downloaded on my SD card, it was ColorOS 2.0.8i i believed and it fixed it.
sorry if i am a bit grey about the details i did it a while ago so.
Actually found this in the cm12.1 nighlies thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58304054&postcount=14
issue is possibly due to unified partitions
Hello,
I am a happy owner of OnePlus 3 and at the beginning when I got this Smartphone and run it, I had to set-up a Pin which was also used for Encryption,
due to the decision that I wanted to change it, I have tried numerous things to do this, either via System -> Security, System -> Lock Screen or TWRP Recovery.
Then I have stumbled upon a wiping feature in TWRP. (TWRP Menu -> Wipe) where there was a couple of options like Advanced Wipe, Format Data and Swipe to Factory Reset. So I have
decided to see what Format Data does which showed me the following statement before I continued with it "Format Data will wipe all of your apps, backups, pictures, videos, media and
removes encryption on internal storage". Well when it said it removes the encryption I have proceeded because at this point where all of the methods failed I wanted to remove and
re-encrypt my OnePlus 3 again in order to change my encrypting pin. Ok, cool this worked perfectly except that now I can't restore my original rom or encrypt my OnePlus 3 again ....
Then I have flashed CyanogenMod 13 Nightly from August (The latest one on the CyanogenMod website) and when I went into System -> Security there was Encrypt button instead of saying
Encrypted at the top of the menu then I have played around with setting up a new Pin/Password and when I went throug all the process at the end the following happens within a few
seconds: a green dissasembled android shows then screen turns black and returns to lock screen. I checked if OnePlus 3 is encrypted and is not. This is not the normal as usually
encrypting takes some time.
Also, I have tried to restore my original rom which came with my smartphone and was encrypted, when I restored it, OnePlus 3 stucks on the first screen showing OnePlus logo on the
middle of the screen and text "Powered by Android" on the bottom of the screen.
I presume that CyanogenMod 13 encryption is broken or that I shouldn't have format Data ?
Is there any way that I can encrypt my smartphone again ?
P.S I know that OnePlus 3 encryption is handled by Hardware.
You can try downloading the official OxygenOS ROM, flashing it and trying to encrypt again. Last I tried doing it on Sultan's CM13, it didn't work, so it might be a CM problem.
As per my knowledge, if you flash stock OxygenOS rom and also be on stock oneplus recovery. Performing a Factory Reset will automatically encrypt your device again. But you must be on stock recovery + stock kernel + stock rom in order for it to work.

Why do I need to be on stock recovery ?
Won't TWRP work just fine ?
formating data with TWRP -28 will decrypt your phone, it's madethis way so it can work on beta 9 and f2fs ...
that said i had encrypted device before on CM
so if you're not using beta 9 and your data partition is not f2fs, you can have an ecrypted device, the easiest way is to sideload official rom 3.2.8 (make sure you're on stock recovery and start adb sideload from there) , after the sideload the phone will be encrypted, if you're staying at MM, fastboot TWRP .22 or 23 or just the official in case .28 decrypts the phone.

Well man i want you be on as much safe side as possible. When you perform factory data reset on stock recovery, it will wipe and reformat your internal memory as well. TWRP only wipes data partition, and you need to format whole internal memory manually. But stock is recommended for full compatibility.
Ok, I have finally re-encrypted my smartphone.
So for the future people who have the same problem as I have, do the following:
SIDE NOTE: You don't need to unroot anything, just re-flash original Oxygen OS and go forwards from there
1) Download Oxygen OS from official website (downloads.oneplus.net)
2) Copy it over to internal storage
3) Enter Recovery Mode => Volume Down + Power Button
4) Flash downloaded .zip file via Recovery Mode (SIDE NOTE: The flashing progress might look like it have a loop but it takes a little bit of time to flash it, more than CyanogenMod anyway).
5) Now, after you have flashed the system .zip file and rebooted your smarpthone, it will take some time to load so don't panic that you have stuck in bootloop as it again, takes some time to load the first time.
SIDE NOTE: My suspicions are that it takes some time to flash and run the first time because it needs to set-up some encryption parameters or something like that but I might be wrong.
6) Then when you finally get to the wizard screen and go through the initial setup like wi-fi, sim card etc, the system will ask you if you want to protect device before it turns on, you choose yes and type your PIN or Password. After that step your smartphone is successfully encrypted again, enjoy !

Hello Gliop022,
Do you know if flashing OxygenOs stock from TWRP 3.1.0 encrypts the phone or do I have to be on stock recovery?
Then once the phone is encrypted, are you able to flash an OOS based ROM (e.g. FreedomOs) and keep the encryption?
Hello,
I am having a problem where my phone is only, as far as I can tell, willing to boot into recovery. From the system, doing a normal reboot ends up in recovery, from powered off it goes into recovery, rebooting from recovery to system ends up back in the recovery, and the fastboot menu's "Continue" option goes reboots to recovery. The only way I can get into the system is to boot via fastboot -- i.e.,
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the one packaged with the rom I am currently running.
This is not convenient because I need to connect it to a computer!
Is there some way to tell the bootloader to not boot recovery by default?
I have tried simply flashing the boot.img from above with:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Which doesn't have any noticeable effect.
I suspect I broke something last night kicking around. I flashed the Open Beta 10 Modem & Firmware, then flashed the Open Beta 10 recovery, before changing my mind and installing TWRP 3-28 and Resurrection Remix v5.8. Somewhere in there, fastboot -w got run, but I don't think I did anything else potentially destructive.
Thanks for reading!
Hmm... Try install boot into recovery partition and recovery into boot? I know it's sound like a joke, but it will probably help you while u wait for a beter solution or just solution to repair that problem.
Anyway - maybe try flash old MM firmware?
A solution for me...
For anyone who rolls along and sees this in the future, my fix was:
0. Take a backup of sdcard AND data -- Step 2 will wipe data and sdcard without asking
1. Download the official recovery for the OnePlus 3
2. Use fastboot to boot (I didn't even have to flash) the official OnePlus 3 recovery AGAIN: WARNING: This step wipes all data without asking for confirmation!!!
I have now installed TWRP-3.0.4.0 and Resurrection Remix v5.8.1-20170202 and everything seems to be working just fine.
Thanks to @sylviohneto for finding this fix here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/critical-bootloader-boot-recovery-fresh-t3530283
I had same problem so for that just take nandroid backup of data and while in turn copy it to pc and any other backup of data you need then format all the partions and reinstall rom and restore data... And if your lock screen have security then check Google you will have to delete a file called locscreen.db from file manager in twrp to access your phone
Hi there,
I think I (soft? hard?) bricked my whyred today after trying to install Pixel Experience (Android 10). At this time, I'm left with a flashed PE Plus that is stuck at the Google logo animation (e.g. unable to access USB debug settings); stock MIUI recovery; and fastboot, which is not recognized by ADB as I haven't had a successful boot since I flashed PE, so I can't turn USB debug on. I think I've exhausted my options, but maybe someone has a smart solution.
For those who think they can help, let me describe in detail what I did:
0) I became a dev, turned USB debug on, installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot, latest Xiaomi drivers, moved flashable zips into internal storage etc.
1) I unlocked my bootloader through Mi Unlock.
2) I successfully flashed TWRP-3.3.1.0-whyred via ADB/Fastboot and rebooted. After getting back into MIUI, I booted into recovery, which was back to stock (MIUI seems to have overwritten my recovery). At that point (probably a big mistake) I gave up on flashing TWRP and went ahead to boot right into it via ADB instead, without flashing.
3) After a successful boot into TWRP 3.3.1.0, it asked me for a decryption password. Nothing worked, so I kept googling and found out that my version of android needs TWRP 3.3.1.1, which was not on the official TWRP website yet, to decrypt automatically. I booted into TWRP 3.3.1.1 via ADB (but didn't flash), made a backup of my stock ROM, did a wipe (art/dalvik cache, cache, data, system, vendor), flashed Pixel Experience and rebooted.
4) Bootloop, I was stuck on the Google loading animation for over 20 minutes, nothing happened.
5) I panicked.
6) I tried to flash TWRP 3.3.1.1 via ABD but my PC didn't recognize my phone - probably because, for lack of successful boots, I have not managed to turn on USB debug.
7) I tried to connect to Mi Assistant through stock recovery. It didn't recognize my phone, probably for the above reason.
8) I did a data wipe through stock recovery and rebooted, hoping for whatever issue kept PE from booting normally to get resolved.
9) I'm stuck on the same Google loading animation for over 40 minutes now, no progress.
Does any of you guys see a way out, or is this story over? To recap, I have: 1) PE Plus in bootloop, no access to dev settings, 2) stock MIUI recovery with options to reboot, wipe data or connect to Mi Assistant, 3) stock fastboot, 4) a backup of my previous system on internal storage, 5) ADB on my computer that doesn't recognize my phone - no USB debugging. I don't know where to turn. I don't care much about data, I have everything in the cloud, but I'd like to save the phone if possible.
Thanks a lot.
Edit: Problem resolved - even though the connected device didn't show up in ADB on PC (adb devices came back empty), the phone was still responsive to fastboot reboot and fastboot flash recovery via PC, so I could flash TWRP 3.3.1.1 & clean flash PE. For anyone struggling with PE bootloops: make sure to 1) use TWRP 3.3.1.1 to flash, 2) do a dalvik/cache wipe after flashing the ROM and 3) not to install the TWRP app before the first successful boot - it was neglecting either 2) or 3) that caused my bootloop. The ROM itself is amazing!

I'm new to this phone as well (but not to Android). Try the following:
Download TWRP from here -> https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117884758
Download Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip from here -> https://zackptg5.com/downloads/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
Power off phone. Hold down volume down and power button to boot into fastboot
Give the command fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-1-whyred.img to flash the recovery you downloaded earlier.
Boot into recovery
Flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip that you downloaded earlier
The above steps will at least ensure that you retain TWRP and it doesn't get overwritten by stock MIUI recovery
After that, check whether or not your phone/ROM has anti-rollback enabled and take appropriate steps accordingly.
Ok so i flashed PE 10 plus today and was met with the same problem.
Heres how i solved it
Goto fastboot option by pressing volume down and power button
Connect to pc (If it doesnt recognize, reinstall Adb drivers and phone drivers)
If it asks for decryption password just press cancel
Wipe data/internal/vendor (wont be able to wipe dalvik as it wont mount)
Flash PE 10 Plus and nothing else.
It should boot just fine.
However i run into bootloop if i flash latest magisk so i cant root my phone :/
Hope this helps

hey read your post
actually adb and fastboot are two different things.
and recovery is flashed using fastboot commands not adb.
sometimes if a rom is not booting it may have issues with encryption.
Hi everyone, I was usually providing help on this forum, now i'm the one desperate for help after some unforeseen consequences.
Bear in mind I'm kind of a noob anyway.
I have seen the message on the telegram groups for our device regarding solving the los 17 problems with the ril and camera. So i have followed the steps. I flashed the last twrp 3.4 by jarl using the official twrp app and then rebooted to recovery, wiped everything beside the internal storage and tried flashing the last los 16 zip.
And then the disaster happened. firstly the log returned error 7 so i've rebooted to recovery again and attempted to flash the same zip again without wiping anything. well the flashing worked apparently but i couldnt boot into it as it showed me an infinite boot animation.
Then i rebooted to recovery and it prompted me with a decryption key request which i didn't set before. I cancelled the prompt and I moved forward and proceeded wiping everything including the internal storage thinking that was the problem. Maybe it was maybe it wasnt, now I'm no longer prompted by any decryption key, but I was hoping i could connect to my pc through mtp, transfer some zips and flash some functional rom. Even though I enable mtp and my pc detects the phone I can't access any storage nor the internal, nor the sd card.
I tried going through multiple versions of twrp as i can still access my bootloader and i can still flash recoveries through fastboot but i feel that i'm stuck and I dont know what i should try anymore.
Before trying all this I was on an older build of los16 with the oreo firmware.
First of all, use this TWRP: https://build.twrp.me/twrp-3.4.0-0-montana.img
Second of all, do not flash TWRPSARer (if you did). Make sure the LOS16 zip isn't corrupted (which normally causes error 7), then format system, data, cache, vendor and dalvik. Reflash LOS16 and boot

I wasnt using the twrp sar, i was using the exact version you linked. And I can't flash any rom because i cant get the zip inside my internal memory.
You can try using adb sideload. adb sideload path/to/zip
worked like a charm. thanks a lot, Jarl.
And this, is the story of someone who didn't want to wait long enough for the ROM to boot
Nah JK, but long boot-times normally = Force Encrypt Enabled

it might have been the problem, but if it is it should be a disclaimer for that on the los16 page. the boot time is way longer than the usual.

Yes, I'll make sure to note that
