When running hurupdater it says that it can't access data partition. I did get my phone working via DC pheonix, but unable to update to latest OS. Is there a way to format the data partition? I am unable to with TWRP. It shows unable to unmount.
Thanks

I have CM11 nightly installed on my Z1C.
I encrypted the device.
I want to decrytpt it since the GPS is not working when the device is encrypted.
CWM recovery does not have support for encrypted filesystems, so I can't wipe the data partition from there.
I can get root access with ADB on the phone when the phone is turned on, but I can't format the /data partition while it is use.
How do I get rid of the encryption?
I don't care about the data on it.
I simply solved it by installing an original firmware from an FTF via flashtool, that reliably wipes the partitions and thus dm-crypt.
Thank you!
That solved my problem!
I've recently updated my htc 10 to Android 7.0 using the 2.38.617.6 firmware and added twrp to use for backup purposes. I have attempted to root the device with chainfire's supersu, but failed due to data being in the wrong format.
First off, I managed to find out the the system partition is ridiculously large (17,592,186,044,365 MB) leading me to believe that the system partition has been corrupted.
I've checked the format type for each partition (data, system and cache) they check out to be ext4.
As the title of the post states, I've also ran into that problem before the system partition size issue.
Also, when trying to reboot the system through twrp, I get the message, "No OS Installed! Are you sure you..." but the phone boots up just fine.
Any help is appreciated.
ensure you flashed the latest unoffical twrp from the xda twrp thread. not the official one.

I have fixed the issue. I had to find and flash the latest ruu because I had restore the /data partition from when I had the phone rooted and downloaded xposed. I ran through the same process after the flash without restoring the data partition and now it work.
Only downside is that I can't restore my data until xposed has a compatible framework. Thanks for replying.
I got a clean backup of the twrp formatted the sd card with external memory I mounted the backup in the external sd and restored the system .... With that I was successful:dedos cruzados::dedos cruzados:
Hi,
Hope you guys can help me getting my data back.
I messed around with Substratum in legacy mode on OOS 4.1.0 and ended up with a bootloop (I never saw the boot animation restart, just looping endlessly). To fix, I tried the following things:
Flashed the SubstratumRecovery_legacy.zip in TWRP 3.1.0-0 without any effect.
Dirty-flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_047_all_1703132116_f7372e67 without any effect.
Flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_047_all_1703132116_f7372e67 through ADB sideload without any effect.
Wiped data partition in recovery. System started normally, all data gone (obviously).
Before wiping, I had made a backup of my /data partition (through TWRP backup tool for Mac) and saved the content of /sdcard on the computer as well.
Now when I try to restore the /data backup through the same tool, I get an error:
E:Unable to find file system (first period).
E:Unable to find file system (first period).
E:Unknown restore method for '/data'
ADB Restore failed.
So what can I do to restore my data partition? That's all I care about.
Thanks in advance
Mount data in twrp?..
ASFAIK, /data is mounted rw automatically by TWRP. It also doesn't make a difference.
Moreover, I also cannot restore my boot partition (kernel), same error.
A while ago I changed my filesystem to f2fs. Can that be the culprit?
Nevermind, I've given up and accepted the loss of data. However, it would still be interesting to find out what the problem was
I had the same problem, tried several times. Then I went back and turned of the md5 check and it worked perfect.
Do u still have ur trwp backup or did u delete it

I still have it on the computer and wouldn't mind making use of it (installed official Resurrection Remix after the data loss but that just wiped my /data partition after backing up kernel in TWRP)
@Bradl79: sounds interesting, will give that a go later when I have some time.
i can go to twrp, but data prtition shows encrypted, so, can't mount to pc. but the system also in bootloop, i dont have an idea how to backup the datas in phone. any suggestion? mi max 3, global stayble rom. were trying to install twrp and it just replacing with system recovery every time. so, i was trying to install lazyflasher, but dont have the access to the data partition, as it can't be mounted. at last i have tried sideloading the lazyflasher via advanced menu in twrp. but after that, it just boot looping. dont have idea even how to backu my datas. thanks.
Hi,
Short story short.
My twrp recovery is not able to install the lineage OS ROM. Initially no storage was getting mount and i tried few steps as per XDA's other threads.
Now still when i try to format my phone and re-installing the new OS the error comes that the Data is encrypted .
I tried some tips as per people's suggestion but still the problem persists.
Scenario: 1. no OS is there in my phone. 2. Cant access it via ADB as it doesn't read my phone.(i can access my internal storage now - previously couldn't)
3. OTG/SD card shows 0 MB even after trying all the methods( unable to mount storage error)
What shall i do as i need a working phone and no OS is present in it.
A help is strongly required. Thanks in Advance.
You need to format data from recovery, and then you an try again. Eventually have a look here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/how-to/how-to-unbrick-phone-decrypt-flash-t3866270
