ok, some dopey kids at my daughters school, borrowed her fire and messed around with it...
we bought it used, with TWRP 2.1.1 installed and everything was great until last Friday!
Now, from the sketchy details i can pull together they went into the 'wipe' screen and wiped every option in there for us!
kindle now boots with blue kindle text, asks us which type of boot we'd like which is where it starts to go wrong!
It either goes into TWRP, but theres no option to load a ROM anywhere.
or, it boots eventually to the yellow fire text, but hangs there forever.
I cannot get the fire to be recocognised by the pc, to allow me to put a new rom on it to allow TWRP to pick it up an install it.
any ideas guys, or is it proper dead....
PS.... i have never rooted an android device before - so nice an simple instructions please!
Naww its fine it does need a system for sure and what's there is broken and may have a mounting issue but I can't tell that for sure. Connect it to the pc, enter recovery, select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system or data if so uncheck them, hit the big mount button hopefully the sdcard contents will pop up on your computer screen. Transfer this rom to the sdcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 not the altrom version that is for dual booting. When finished with the transfer of the rom zip select unmount, then unplug, wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, select install, flash rom zip then select reboot and system if prompted. Pm me if you have difficulty and I will help assist you if more is neccessary. Good luck.
Edit: If it will be some time before you get to it make sure you keep it charged a dead battery will compound the issue ten fold so leave it in recovery and plug it into the stock wall charger for storage.
super, thanks for that - I'll charge it up overnight then and give it a go....

If you want to remove lockscreen related password or any other pin go to TWRP > File Manager > You have to delete locksettings.db in data->system

Oh! Sorry, I thought you asked for how to remove lockscreen pin or password. If you want to remove screenpin which is because your device is encrypted you have to remove encryption by wiping data from TWRP, there is an option in TWRP to wipe data only you just have to select wipe data option and type 'yes' without the quotation mark. Hope you understand.

I had the same issue. To solve it, just backup ur essential stored photos and stuffs somewhere. Then all you have to do is goto to TWRP,
Just enter with your normal lockscreen password(
maybe a myth but worked for me),
WIPE,
"Format data option"(it should be there on the bottom right).
Thats it , storage decrypted.

Not transferravle in TWRP mode. Juat boot into ur system in phone, then transfer data, come abck to TWRP, and proceed formatting.
Thanks everyone for accommodating me. I realise "format data" does not remove ROM!

After my phone install RR , i'm set lockscreen password with PIN and fingerprint, then i'm boot to recovery install root , twrp need PIN , i dont know why ? My phone encrypt. I'm searching on google , if i want removed encrypt , i will format all data ?
Is this solution?
Sorry english my bad.
I set a new unlock pin, but after rebooting I realized I forgot it. I tried removing locksettings.db from TWRP file manager but then after rebooting I was stuck on "Android is starting" screen. I decided to do a full wipe (system, data, internal storage, cache) and installed latest LOS15.1 + Gapps. After booting and selecting the language I am stuck on "just a sec" screen :crying:.
Edit: Also my TWRP says my data is encrypted and I don't know the password for decryption.
I hope someone knows what's the issue and how to fix it.

You deleted your pin from the phone but the storage remains encrypted... With the pin that you can't use anymore since you deleted it.
Your only decent recourse to recover the device now is to FORMAT data from twrp.
You will not be able to recovery any files.
If you don't need the phone ASAP then hold out on a reply that might help save you but it sounds like you'll need to format to get the phone to boot with a usable data partition

Thanks, it helped. I didn't know that option in magisk.
So I done everything like unlocking the bootloader and around the first 10 minutes of this video youtube.com/watch?v=U0nxfD_Ewzo . The thing is when I'm at the menu it asks for my password to decrypt data which I have never set before soon I only got this phone(Moto G5) today specifically for rooting. I done wipe>format data then reboot but it still stays the same. I click cancel and when I try to install the files it just comes up with a bunch of red writings saying something like "unable to mount storage". I really want to root this phone which is the only reason why I got it. What should I do? If I can root this then I would be extremely happy and thankful. Below are the pictures and sorry if they look blurry because the phones camera is bad but I could take another picture if I have to.

You need to format data to remove encryption or enter your encryption code
Wipe - format data (option on the right)
Do Not advanced wipe data as this does not remove encryption unless you change partition type and then change it back again
Alternatively you can put your phone into fastboot mode and connect to pc and in a pc terminal/cmd window type
fastboot erase userdata
Note this deletes all data off phone including anything stored in internal storage
Once you can mount data you can then flash the latest magisk to root
I was attempting to install the Begonia Recovery Project for Miui 12.5 (android 11) using the fastboot method. But when I reboot into this new recovery and look inisde the "install" tab, all my folders from my main storage are made up of random letters and numbers.
I assume that this means that my files are still encrypted but I am not sure how to decrypt them.
I am running MIUI 12.5.3 Global edition on android 11 and the Begonia Recovery Project version I downloaded and installed was from this website : https://www.pling.com/p/1556862/
Furthermore, I have a unlock pattern on my phone but when I boot into the custom recovery, it doesn't ask me for my unlock pattern. Could this be the reason all my files are named with random letters and numbers?
It won't let me boot back into my operating system and when I try, I get an warning saying "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?". Rebooting leads me right back into the custom recovery, with all files still named with random characters.
I would prefer to be able to boot back into my system without having to lose any of my personal files on my phone (if that is possible).
Any help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance

This is the reason why everyone recommends taking a backup of your files and resetting your device prior to such attempts. Unfortunately, most likely you will lose part, if not all of your files.
That No OS Installed error is normal since MIUI is a system on root OS and TWRP isn't able to detect them.
That random named folders is your internal storage but it's encrypted. You'll need to enter your passcode every time you boot to TWRP. If it doesn't ask you go to Mount and select Decrypt Data
To disable encryption you'll need to format data and install Disable ForceEncrypt. Doing this will erase EVERYTGHING. (except Find Device,IMEI's etc)
I would recommend you to install this TWRP to decrypt them.
If your device boots back to TWRP, it might be triggering Rescue Party. (click the 3rd button on the bottom of the screen to view the logs)

I had installed twrp like this before and never had this type of error. But yes, the smart thing would definately be to always have backups. Lesson learned for next time!

Thank you for the fast reply.
I installed the twrp that you recommended. TWRP still isn't asking for my passcode and I can't find a "Decrypt Data" option in the Mount section. The only checked options in Mount are "Data", "Cache", and "Micro SD Card".
Is Disable ForceEncrypt needed in order to be able to boot back into my operating system? Is there any way to boot back into my OS without this?
Thanks again for the fast reply!

That zip can only be used if your data is formatted. If you flash it without formatting data you'll be making the situation even worse because it won't allow you to decrypt anymore. (it makes the phone think data isnt encrypted tho it clearly is encrypted)
Also did you check the logs as i suggested to determine the reason why the phone is not booting?

Whoops, I used the twrp you recommended without formatting the data. Does this mean my data is forever undecryptable?
I checked the logs and indeed it is triggering the Android Rescue Party.
It suggests possible solutions that are
wipe caches, and/or
Format data, and/or
Clean-flash your ROM.
The reported problem is :
'--reason=enablefilecrypto_failed'

No i didnt meant that, i said the Disable ForceEncrypt zip needs data to be formatted.
The reported problem unfortunately means your phone cannot setup encryption. (thats why twrp won't decrypt it)
The only solution is to format data to make the phone usable again.
(you might as well flash the disable encryption zip after formatting the data since encryption on android is a pain in the ass and it makes the phone a bit faster)
By the way, do not wipe data, just click Format Data and format it since it doesn't get rid of the encryption properly.

Thank you so much for your informative responses.
Apologies, I thought you meant that flashing different twrp would lead to undecryptable files.
By formatting data do you mean the parition on my phone called "data"?. I forgot to add that files in my "data" folder have sensible names and don't look encrypted. Is it normal for it to just encrypt my internal storage?
By the sounds of it, I think I will proceed with your suggestion of formatting the data. Just to clarify, will this method also remove everything in my internal storage, eg pictures, music, videos?. Is there a way to continue with this method without having to lose those?
I appreciate your help greatly.

They actually encrypted the whole partition till Android 10. This required you to enter a password before the phone boots up but now they only encrypt the internal storage,apps and app data so you don't have to enter a password anymore before the phone boots-up.
Yes formatting the data will erase everything on your device including the internal storage.
Because they are encrypted just like the other part of data there's no way to save them.

I see. So could this have been avoided if I had flashed the twrp after disabling my password? Is it a smart practice to disable your password before doing stuff like flashing a custom recovery?
Obviously losing all my data and internal storage is definately a kick in the nuts. But it is also my fault for not backing up my data before experimenting like this.
Could you please send me an oultine of the steps I need to follow in order to proceed with your method of getting my phone working again. Frankly, I have little experience in this area and I'm afraid i'll make a mistake in the process. I also trust in your expertise and experience far greater than mine.
Thank you again!

Simple, enter TWRP, go to Wipe, click Format Data, type yes then hit enter. Your data will be wiped. reboot the phone in Recovery mode (not to the normal OS or else the phone will encrypt again) again so the internal storage gets created.
Plug your phone into a PC, download this:https://zackptg5.com/downloads/archive/Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_11.02.2020.zip
copy it to your phone and install it. If you want to use Magisk, install Magisk first then this zip file. The encryption will be completely disabled.
To answer your first question, It wasn't your fault because i have no idea why your storage got corrupted in the first place but you should definitely disable the password (or disable the encryption if you want to use a password) before doing anything.

Since I am reseting my phone to its factory settings, I researched into some ROMs that I may use instead of MIUI. I came across the Pixel Experience ROM and I'm considering installing it.
I read somewhere that flashing a ROM involves having to disable encryption every time you flash a new ROM or something along those lines. Will installing the Disable ForceEncrypt disable encryption permanently or will I have to considering installing it again if I want to flash the Pixel Experience ROM?

You will have to install it again if you install a new ROM or kernel since it modifies both of them (they both get wiped if you install or update the ROM.
I recommend you follow their install guide since a lot of people get confused when they see errors.
Flashing PE A12
1. Flash latest Firmware. 2. Flash latest Dynamic TWRP. 3. Reboot to Dynamic TWRP. 4. Flash latest PE rom zip and then format data. 5. Reboot and enjoy. Links Here: Dynamic TWRP: TWRP For A12 Note: If you see any red line errors on twrp just ignore them and continue flashing. Also before...

Thank you for all your help. It was probably simple and easy for you but for me, I had no idea what I was doing and would never have done the steps that you suggested so thank you. I really appreciate all the help you've given me.
I just have one last request that is : do you know any good backup services for android? I know about services like google photos for backing up photos and videos, but I was wondering if there were any that backed up the android as a whole, including app data/progress, photos, videos, notes etc.
Thank you again for all your support and making this process very simple and easy and wish you all the best.

Google One app can backup photos,SMS, phone call history and redownloads all of the apps (except apps that were installed from an apk file)
Pixel Experience actually bypasses the Google Photos storage limit so you can backup your entire gallery without problems.
For notes just use Google Keep, it syncs the notes to your Google account.
App data can be backed up by Titanium Backup or Migrate. (i suggest you test them before backing up your entire app data as suggested by Migrate developer)
I don't exactly recommend backing up Data as a whole since your only option is TWRP and TWRP loves to complain when it comes to backing up and restoring.
Thanks for the best wishes and i wish you all the best too. Have a good one.
