You need modified TWRP 3.0.2-28 to get TWRP working with Beta 8. I had the same issue witrh my installation.

Also you need to make sure to remove your lock screen, then you will be able to use TWRP

I got the same issue, cannot decrypt the internal storage.
I am using TWRP3.0.2.1-28
What is your action, just run "Force Decryption Device" by using Toolkit v.3.6
and what recovery are you using ?
Thx

First I flash the stock recovery by toolkit and then make force decryption device and then I flash twrp 3.0.2.1-28 and It works, but you should to know that everything on your phone will be erased

I'm using latest modified TWRP 3.0.2-28 + OOS Beta 8. I have a protected lockscreen (fingerprint / pin) and pin is needed to start the device.
I flashed TWRP, wiped everything and changed "DATA" filesystem to "F2FS" and flashed the rom (clean installation)
I have full acces when using TWRP.
No need to force decryption or anything...

It doesn't work though, if you installed dirty and just upgraded from MM. TWRP keeps asking for password and doesn't accept it, even if I change to password (else using PIN) in the system.

I came from OOS 3.2.8 running already with F2FS and did a dirty flash to the Nougat Beta.
All with the -1.28 TWRP and have no issues going into TWRP and it accepts my pin.

This is the way I went, just yet being on ext4. Could it be a difference, if you flash or if you just boot TWRP? I'm only booting instead of flashing, so I retain my recovery, as I didn't see the new Oxygen recovery for OOS4 in the wild yet.

You probably need an older version for ext4. The last one working on ext4 when I did the switch to f2fs was -1.25 if I remember correctly.
After the switch to f2fs I had to flash 1.28 or the recovery wouldn't accept my pin anymore.

I have done format userdata in fastboot but my phone still shows up as encrypted. Flashed 3.0.2-1.28 and I still get a password screen when booting to recovery. Not really sure what else I can do.

How to flash official nougat without wiping internal storage?

Hello all!
I am currently on OOS 3.2.8, and official TWRP. I have read all the instructions on the forums but all lead to one option, formatting internal memory. So, my question are:
1. Will flashing oos 4.0 work with official TWRP or 8 have to use modified 28 version?
2. How can I flash oos 4 with modified TWRP and not have to wipe internal memory?
I would appreciate all the responses. Thanks

I was the same predicament as you. I finally took the plunge and now I have Nougat running on my OP3. Here is what I did :
Start: OOS 3.2.8 w/ custom kernel and modified TWRP
1. Flash stock recovery (Google for a forum post in the OP3 forums on downloading the stock recovery and flash it through fastboot)
2. Reboot and let 3.2.8 start
3. Download Snap VPN and change the country to Canada. You will be prompted for the system update.
4. Let the update download (~1 GB)
5. Install the update. You may see an error of the installation may fail as your phone is rooted. Ignore and go ahead.
6. The installer will now boot to stock recovery and reboot with Nougat. All settings and apps will be maintained
The only catch is that you may have ext4 instead of f2fs. I am okay with it for now... But your mileage may vary
All the best!

Edit : Nougat running on my op3.

Are you rooted? Are you encrypted? What file systems are you using for your partitions? You're not giving full information. Why is formatting not an option if it'll give you the results you want?

To get to F2fs (I do recommend it)
Take a backup of your Data partition. , copy it to your pc with "adb pull /sdcard/Twrp/whatever".
Now go to Twrp>Wipe>Advanced select data and click on change file system. Change it to F2fs. Now restore your backup (Reader the guide all info is there). Profit!

I don't have any issues with ext4, infact i do feel ext4 is more stable than f2fs so file system is my last concern. Thanks for your method, but then how did u root again? Installing nougat is fine but what after that? I have read that you can't use modified twrp without formatting internal memory first, as it'll show you the pin issue. Let me know how do you propose a safe method to achieve root.

Yes i am encrypted, rooted, stock OOS 3.2.8 + Franco kernel. Official TWRP(not modified). I am using ext4, never used f2fs at all. The time to backup data and then to restore it all back is the reason formatting is not an "preferred" option for me. I can do it, but i would have to wait until i find enough time to do the whole process. I am in a full time job, so i hope you would understand.

Well this again defeats the purpose of my original question, but thanks mate. I would definitely read the guide if decide to switch to f2fs.

@abhibnl. BTW your encrypted. So the modified TWRP won't work.
How to fix:
Wipe Userdata with Fastboot / fastboot erase UserData
Boot into Twrp modified twrp.
Flash OOS 4.0 flash SuperSU and let it boot
You should be decrypted DO NOT install a boot password since you will be encrypted again.

I haven't rooted my phone again. My only reason to root is to install Adaway to block all ads. With DNS66 and Adguard, I have little incentive to root my stock nougat install.
Edit : I had encryption during 3.2.8 and it carried over to 4.0

Thanks a lot for informing me mate. I really don't want to decrypt my storage as of now. I guess flashing stock recovery is the only solution now. Will hope someone would pick up the twrp and update it.

Seems like stock recovery is the best way as of now. Seems like I'll have to love without root until someone updates twrp to support encrypted storage.

I haven't updated to Nougat yet, but I looked over Chainfire's SuperSU changelog and its installation script and both of them confirm that from March installing SuperSU prevents forced encryption. Also many guides suggest installing it as way for disabling forced encryption. Of course you have to flash SuperSU just after flashing ROM, before booting the system.

That i already knew mate. But i WANT my storage to remain encrypted. And that's the issue with modified TWRP. You can't enter into recovery on that if your storage is encrypted.

Again, "You can't enter into recovery on modified TWRP if your storage is encrypted." So i won't be able to enter into twrp in the first place, let alone flash anything.

In the same boat as you. I have OOS 3.2.8 encrypted, rooted and TWRP 3.0.2-1.26. I too would like to update but have way to much stuff on my phone to back it all up and restore it. Hope you or someone come's up with a solution. I will be following your thread.
Thanks.

Go to twrp. Press backup. Select only data. Save to PC youre backup for safety..
3.2.8 it's Android 6, 4.0 it's Android 7. Some apps might not work from base to base.
If you want to change to F2FS it will format youre phone, wipe phone full internal memory. If you want to change it back to ext4, same.
Clean flash, full wipe it's always better.

My suggestion (and my steps are in #1), install stock recovery, install snap VPN, download the update and install (ignore any errors on root). Once done, you will have Nougat with stock recovery, encryption maintained and all app data also intact.

This is the last resort brother. With this method, unfortunately I won't have any root available. The only way now is to wait for updated twrp.

Well, I tried something, waiting on it to finishing booting and see how it went.
I flashed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p version,
Flashed the OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip inside TWRP,
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip right after flashing OTA zip.
Its rebooting and says Android is upgrading. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: Its booted and I am on Nougat, didnt lose my data and phone is still encrypted!
Edit: Ended up having issues with settings app locking up. So, I went a different route and its all working great now.
Downloaded the stock recovery image and renamed it to recovery.img
Make sure after you rename it its not named recovery.img.img, If you have show file extensions enabled on your pc you should already see the file extension.
Rebooted to bootloader - adb flash recovery recovery.img
Using the volume keys and power button selected - reboot recovery.
Now in stock recovery - flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip
After rom is done flashing, went right back into bootloader. Did not let my phone reboot to start the OS.
Renamed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p.img to recovery.img
adb flash recovery recover.img
Powered off phone and Manually boot it into recovery by holding Power + Volume Down button.
Phone booted into TWRP
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip
Wiped cache / dalvik
Rebooted system from TWRP and waited. System is really smooth now, no issues yet. Been playing with it for awhile now.
During the booting up process it might take a minute and it will reboot twice. Dont get nervous like I did thinking it was going to start bootlooping. It booted just fine. I read in a nother thread that SuperSU is what causes it to boot twice.
So......Now I have OOS 4.0 Nougat, Rooted, Encrypted and everything seems to be working fine.

I know that you have to factory reset and then install TWRP to work on swipe unlock every time. I'm asking if 3.2 fixed this problem so that I can log in using my password instead of removing my screen lock every single time

Not sure. I intentionally did not set a password prior to using it just in case twrp wasn't compatible with a password like the previous version.
---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
These are the steps I took to get twrp 3.2 working (without using a pin/password):
Clean flash 8.1 image
Boot into phone, setup device withOUT pin
Boot to bootloader
Fastboot boot twrp 3.2
Flash 3.2 installer zip
Reboot recovery
Flash 14.5 magisk beta
Flash 14.5 magisk a 2nd time
Reboot system.

Thanks. I don't like a factory reset (till now I managed a dirty flash) because of the many apps I use
I don't have ElementalX at the moment installed, that's why I used ( ). I'm waiting for a update, probably when 8.1 is no longer beta.

You'll only get away with dirty flashing for so long. I did the same as you for a while and ended up with a corrupted data partition. I was forced to do a factory reset and lost all data on my phone. Literally had to start from scratch.
Now, I clean flash (full wipe) every time. I make a backup of all of my apps with titanium backup. I adb pull my titanium folder, DCIM folder (photos) and my twrp folder (nandroid backup) to my PC. After I clean flash I use adb to push them back to my SD card. Reinstall titanium from the play store and restore all apps from my backup folder.

Hi,
just flashed the 8.1 Factory Image (without -w option) and TWRP fails to decrypt.
Tried setting a password instead of PIN but no success.
Wipe is no option for me.

I am assuming you have things to flash, like root? Put the files on a USB and use the adapter to plug it into the phone. Hit cancel interpretation at the password screen and then you can select storage for the USB and flash the zips from there.

No its still encrypted

before dirty flash 8.1, remove all patten/fingerprint, then flash 8.1, install twrp
flash all zips you need
re-enable your patten/fingerprint, just leave twrp there, till next update.

Can we not use twrp 3.1.1-1 on Android 8.1?

It worked with both -removing any pin/passwort/pattern or in case you don't want to do this putting the files on an USB-C Stick, fastboot boot twrp.img and mount the USB-OTG

Just got everything working on 8.1, but TWRP does ask for a password instead of a pattern unlock. I got around this by the following method:
in fastboot:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.0-0-marlin.img
since my phone is encrypted with a pattern, I had to "cancel" out of the prompt and sideload install everything, starting with TWRP 3.2:
adb sideload twrp-pixel-installer-marlin-3.2.0-0.zip
then rebooted into recovery:
adb reboot recovery
since unlocking encryption still didn't work, I sideloaded Magisk first:
adb sideload Magisk-v14.5(1456).zip
and then SuperSU:
SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip
rebooted to system, everything works as it should. passes safetynet check.

Why are you flashing both? New to Magisk so perhaps I am missing something.

[Solved]TWRP doesn't work after official Pie update- decryption password required

I use stock recovery and official miui global rom in my phone along with magisk root. Everytime a new update comes i restore stock images from magisk, then apply the update, then again boot into twrp (just boot), flash the magisk and done. That way i maintain the stock recovery, OS, and root as well.
Yesterday i got the official Pie update from Xiaomi, i restored the stock images from magisk, updated to Pie. But now if i try to boot into twrp to flash magisk, it asks for decryption password. My phone is encrypted, from past one year twrp used to work completely fine after i entered the password (encrypted with lock screen pw) but now it says decryption failed. I have tried everything-
1. Removing the lock screen and encryption altogether.
2. Changing the encryption/lock screen pw to pattern/pin/password
But no luck, it says decryption failed. I'm unable to boot into twrp.
Also one weird thing, if i set pattern encryption pw, it asks for alphanumeric pw in twrp decryption screen. And vice versa. I've tried many twrp versions including the latest one. HELP!

Solved by using OrangeFox Recovery (OrangeFox-R9.0-2-whyred-MIUI-Pie.zip) from https://sourceforge.net/projects/orangefox/files/whyred/
Magisk works along with full encryption with lock screen password

Also, it would be really helpful, if you told me the steps and precaution to install orangefox, I am wishing to flash pixel experience and use Gcam. But I seem to be stuck in recovery flashing.

Cause orange didn't restart into recovery mode and booted into system.

Also one weird thing, if i set pattern encryption pw, it asks for alphanumeric pw in twrp decryption screen. And vice versa. I've tried many twrp versions including the latest one. HELP!

The dots translate into numbers in the following pattern:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Please note that this is what I read somewhere else when searching for my solution to the original problem (Can't decrypt Pie storage using password from Oreo).

This didn't work in my case, the only thing that worked was orangefox

Got problem with encryption in TWRP on brand new Mi Max 3 with Pie. I started with twrp-3.2.3-0-nitrogen, which ask about a pass after instalation. In this thread I found so OrangeFox Recovery should solve problem, but - this recovery is in .zip file to flash from recovery, which I did not have... In desperation I flashed twrp-3.3.1-0-nitrogen, and this
works!!

Orange Fox asking for encryption password

Running Pixel Experience ROM. I always used TWRP but due to changes in the ROM in an update 2 months ago I had to install Orange Fox. All worked well. Trying to install latest update, but when I now reboot in recovery it asks for encryption password. I've tried my screen pin but that's not accepted.
I don't want to format my data partition.
How can I fix this please?

I had to format data then wipe everything to get it to work without asking for a password

Just checking, it wouldn't delete backups created by Titanium Backup right? As they are on /sdcard?
Still don't understand why this happened. Do you know? Or anyone else?

Nope,it's your partition which is already encrypted, no recovery problem so no matter what recovery you use it's still the same unless you decrypt your data by formatting.

I fixed this with latest Twrp for pie.
