I come from a Nexus. So I am bit confused regarding the process of flashing TWRP on the Z2 play. On Nexus devices I could flash TWRP but did not have to decrypt anything. However in the TWRP post (dev forum) I could read:
"Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well"
Why does TWRP (have to) decrypt /data on the Z2 play?
TWRP supports encrypted phones. The early versions required you to leave the phone decrypted or you couldn't read anything in recovery. DM verity seems to go both ways too.
Thanks for your response! Yes, TWRP supports encrypted phones (I did that on my Nexus). However in the TWRP topic you can read:
twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well

So I am wondering whether it is possible to disable decryption when you flash twrp on the z2p?
Normally I would have tried it already and re-flashed the stock image if something went wrong (but there is no stock-image yet ...)
Disable forced encryption of data partition
Instructions:
1. Download the decrypt.zip and move/copy to sdcard/otg drive
2. Flash in recovery
3. Format /data
4. Reboot
To encrypt the rom again, flash encrypt(pie).zip and format /data
What is the meaning of forced encryption on data partition

Can I update to Pie via TWRP, after editing updater-script, if yes, can I flash decrypt.zip just after updating without formatting data. Actually, I don't want to format my device and install all the applications again.
Is 1903.064 is stable enough to use, I mean cam2api, screen flickering, PUBG on HD setting, charging time it was taking too long to charge earlier, reduced battery backup, screen brightness, cracking sound, double tap was also not working.

Yes. You can. But if the phone is encrypted and flashing decrypt for the first time, decryption comes into effect only after formatting data

No, Mine is decrypted. I am on Oreo with TWRP and already flashed decrypt.zip of Oreo? So can I flash 1903.064 zip via TWRP, after editing updater script and then flash decrypt.zip of Pie, to save my data partition?
I hope decrypt.zip of Pie does not format data while flashing.....

is this necessary if i will go for custom rom? i mean just like in oreo, can i use the decrypt.zip for oreo to stock pie in order to decrypt my device? or i will use this one for pie? just to clarify sir.

Flashing decrypt oreo infact caused many problems on wifi/modem for many users. Also decrypt oreo didn't worked on pie for some users. So flashing decrypt pie is recommended for Oreo too.

I'm confused and the rooting step
Hi all. I have zenfone updated to Oreo/android 8.1.
Phone model Z01BDC = ZC551KL .
What should I do to apply this patch to decrypt my /data ?
I installed TWRP 3.1.0.0 and the fact that /data is Encrypted is a problem.
Thank you.

This mod works in X01BD and X00TD. Not sure if it work for Z01BD. You can flash this patch by following the steps in the thread but success isn't guaranteed. Take a system backup as if anything goes wrong. Also be ready to loose your data

I'm not sure about that... I am flashing this file (decrypt pie) for Oreo just. The phone does not boot in this case. I was forced to flashing old decrypt file for Oreo after and it all worked again.
It's not working with Official TWRP 3.3.1-0. I'm using stock Pie .065. Every time I reboot to system, it starts encrypting my device and when I reboot to recovery, TWRP is gone and I'll be booted to stock recovery. Then I flashed TWRP and checked the fstab.qcom. It was never patched. With OFRP, I don't have this issue as it patches fstab.qcom automatically after flashing a zip. But with the zip provided in OP, I'm unable to disable forced encryption. I don't get any error while flashing the zip though. Does any other file needs to be patched to disable forced encryption other than fstab.qcom?

I think twrp official has decryption issues. Check with twrp 3.2.3

I checked with Rk585's TWRP 3.2.3 too. Same issue persists. It worked fine when I was in Oreo.
After flashing the zip, I booted back to recovery and copied the fstab.qcom to my PC to check if it has been replaced with the flashed zip. It did replace it. But when I boot to system, it starts encrypting my device and TWRP gets replaced by stock recovery. So I flashed the TWRP again and checked the fstab.qcom. Voila. It was unpatched. I don't know what is happening during the boot. The patched fstab is getting replaced by original fstab.
Edit: Seems there is a problem with the zip I guess. Or more files need to be patched to disable forced encryption in stock Pie rom. I tested in both PBRP and OFRP.
Case 1: I flashed stock rom in Official TWRP, then flashed PBRP zip and booted into PBRP. After booting into PBRP, it doesn't automatically disable forced encryption if no rom zip is flashed in it. So I flashed the decrypt zip provided in this OP. Then I booted to system, it started encrypting my device.
Case 2: I flashed stock rom in Official TWRP, then flashed OFRP zip and booted into OFRP. After booting into OFRP, it automatically disabled forced encryption even though no rom zip was flashed. Hence after booting into system, it didn't automatically encrypt my device as forced encryption was disabled automatically by OFRP.
So PBRP and OFRP do something else to disable forced encryption other than just patching fstab.qcom. Atleast in stock Pie rom. That's why I'm unable to disable forced encryption by flashing decrypt zip in any of the recoveries unless it is patched by recoveries themselves.
Hi
My Max3 is in Global 10.3.2 stable and I like to root it. I installed TWRP mod recovery 3.2.3-4 from nijel8 and this works perfect. When I will install SuperSU-v2.82 or Magisk-v19 I have 'failed to decrypt data unable to decrypt with default password. You may need to perform a format data.
But when I format data the Max3 don't start anymore in System mode....
Does anyone have a soloution for this?
Many thanks in advance!!

Re-install the global rom via fastboot. Then, let's start, enable the developer option, USB debugging and installation via USB (there is another option related to USB, but I do not remember ... anyway, enable as well). Then, install TWRP again and format the data via adb (fastboot format userdata). Then enter TWRP and if it is still encrypted, format again by TWRP and restart twrp. After rebooting, you install magisk and restart the system. For me it worked, but I no longer use the global rom because it encrypts the data again.
On the Xiaomi.eu ROM Magisk worked as expected for me.
My friends hi. I flashing phones for years and many xiaomis but this phone have the antiroll protection. I want to flash the revos miui rom or the aicp but the second can't find.. anyway I'm afraid to do it.The ROM devs sad to me that they disable the antiroll back but I'm still afraid what you think?
If you have the decrypting error you can just sideload the SuperSU magisk zip. Just go to the sideload option in twrp then sideload the zip from adb on your PC. Worked just fine for me. I have root, xposed, and magisk running just fine.
There is no need to wipe and back up data. Ez pz.

Hi! Same problem here! Had to switch to MM3 6/128 because I broke Zenfone 3 Ultra crying and had a hard time rooting it! Only way: Magisk via Sideload
Flash dozen of times with standard twrp way and SuperSu zip: no way! 10.3.2 is pretty ****ing hard to "rape"
hello
use this method to decrypt your phone ( from the chapter "Format Data Partition and Disable Encryption (Android Pie only)" ) on this link :
the custom droid install-twrp-recovery-root-xiaomi-mi-a2-a2-lite (search on qwant)
it works perfectly on my mi max 3
I unlocked and rooted my 8T as described in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlocking-bootloader-twrp-rooting-t4031831
I made decryption including format Data and installing Universal DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt disabler, also installed stock EEA V11.0.3.0.PCXEUXM (MIUI10) and Magisk
All working fine except phone password lock, and as I read now, locks don't work on decrypted phone. So I decide to encrypt my phone back. But it does not work, when I pressed "encrypt phone" button in privacy settings it just reboot and nothing happened.
I tried OrangeFox recovery, made all steps as described here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8/how-to/guide-flashing-miui-ota-rom-recovery-t4041591
but still the same trouble.. So, how to encrypt phone with stock rom, root and recovery?

Yes, I want encrypted phone.
How it possible with Magisk and recovery?
I need flash fresh EEA 11.0.3.0 from Miflash, than install recovery and Magisk. And what else?
If I install Dm-Verity path, than I need format data and decrypt phone.
If I skip Dm-Verity installation, than I will have a bootloop.

:good:
I successfully unlocked my bootloader, then I tried flashing the twrp by following munchy's tutorial from YouTube (as someone recommended here). I also used the twrp recovery file he provided in the description, by using the latest platform tools from the official website. It was going pretty good. I even got the TeamWin logo, and also loaded up the twrp interface, and was able to navigate through it. But the problem was my internal storage wasn't showing up. So I booted back to my system normally to see If I can find a solution. Then I think I tried again after restarting to see if it fixes itself, but the same problem was persisting. The next time when I tried again, I used the latest twrp version which I downloaded from the official twrp website.
But since my 3rd attempt, I am not able to see any TeamWin recovery come up on my phone, when I connect I do the "fastboot boot (twrp filename)" command in cmd. When I do the command, nothing shows up. The device remains in the Fastboot mode, or just turns off. When I switch it back on, It turns on normally and boots into the phone without any issues, and I can use it. I've tried switching back to the original twrp version munchy used in the above linked video, but same result.
What did I do wrong here? How do I make my phone get into the twrp recovery when I enter the fastboot boot (twrp filename) command thru my PC? How do I make my Internal Storage available to view int he TWRP recovery so I can install it from my Downloads folder? I am on MIUI 14.0.4 If that helps. My end goal is to install Magisk.
Any tips/guides/suggestions are appreciated.
Installing TWRP and root does not erase your data.
Remove security from the lock screen. (decryption).Normally the latest TWRP decrypts the data.
Install Platform tools ,put the TWRP in the folder and run the commands from the folder.
TWRP SKK, Use A12 if your system is in A12/A13 if system A13.
Rename it to twrp.img
CMD
fastboot boot twrp.img
Powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
Once booted, go to Advanced -> Press "Flash current TWRP"
If offered, both slots.

Thank you. I had put backed the screen lock after the first 2 attempts because someone said to to that on a YT video after they faced the same problem. Now I tried again by removing the screen lock and the latest twrp for my device also boots up just fine. Now the problem Is I still can't access my internal storage .
Still having removed the screen security?
Which rom(fullname)?
Which TWRP?
Try to mount storage.

Yes, I removed the screen security, though I can enter TWRP, I can't read the internal storage. MIUI 14.0.4.
I just watched a YT video where the dude does the following:
-TWRP Recovery
- Wipe
- Format Data
- Types 'yes'
then
-TWRP Recovery
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Do not Install
After coming back to recovery after rebooting, he gets a pop up, which at the swipe says "Swipe to allow for modifications" which he swipes, then now after checking the Internal Storage, It's readable now. Is this a possible solution?
Twrp A13, obviously if you don't want to keep the data.
Twrp/wipe format data type yes/reboot TWRP.
If error red lines, reboot TWRP and repeat the operation.
Sideload roms or use OTG.

what's twrp A13? Also, I just unlocked my bootloader a few hours ago, so my phone has already done a factory reset and i don't have anything to lose except the Magisk APK and .img file in my phone.
But I have a question, will doing the format data just do a factory reset, or will I lose my ROM? Because I'm not trying to install a custom ROM, I just want to Install Magisk as the end goal with my current ROM.
MIUI 14 Android 13 so use this TWRP
plugged the phone into the PC when it is on the TWRP, you will have access to the internal storage. (works on my 12 pro aves twrp A13 Skk).
twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
I'm using the latest one I could find on the TWRP website for my device. Not aware If it supports Android 13 though as it isn't mentioned on the website. Just asking my prev question, will doing the format data from TWRP just do a factory reset, or do I lose the ROM and will have to install a custom ROM?
second question I forgot to ask in my prev post, after i do the format data and put the Magisk APK and twrp img file again on my device, will my device stay decrypted as I formatted the data, or will the problem persist?
sorry If i sound dumb

twrp-3.7.0_12-v7.5_A13-alioth-skkk.img
thank you, this is the one I was looking for. Sorry to bother you again, now I installed the Magisk V26.1 apk from TWRP. And when I boot back to system and try opening the magisk manager, this happens. It says downloading, forever. I think I shouldn't have directly downloaded the latest version. So probably have to downgrade it a bit. For that, what will I have to do?
Can I just hold the Magisk icon, and uninstall it simply like any other app? Or do I have to do it from the TWRP? Also, Is it necessary for me to uninstall it before downgrading, or can I just download the apk of older magisk version and flash it from twrp just like I did previously?
It was on my first post.

Hm ok.
Welp for me on AOSP, it works nicely. I flash a new build (or two) every week. Backup/Restore works as should. UI is nice and modern, imo better than TWRP. That's why I'm recommending it.
Haven't heard anyone saying that they can't view Phone storage on OrangeFox.
Hi,
@NOSS8 , I'd like to ask : I've only some hours to wait to unlock the BL. But one question, as it's yet the stock rom (FW V13.0.11.0, A12), wich twrp should I use ? I want to install a A13 rom (that supposes FW V 14.xxx !)
So :
- fastboot boot twrp (but wich one ?? A12 or 13 ?? ; skkk ? Or ?) (+ "flash current twrp" OR "install it in ramdisk"?)
- reboot recovery
- flash FW V14.xxx
- flash rom
- format data
- reboot system
- flash magisk (last version ? Seems to be 'big' changes ?)
- flash what I need (V4A, DFE (??), ....)
What do you think ?
Thanks a lot ! Main question is about what version of twrp.. Help will be very appreciated !

Instead, use Miflash with a Fastboot rom, you can extract the boot img for root.(don't re lock the bootloader).
You can root without TWRP, but according to this thread, if you root you lose the TWRP and vice versa, I don't know if this is still relevant.(I don't have this device).
If you need ,install the TWRP A13 after flashing the A13.

The device is too a Poco f3, sorry.. This doesn't need to flash magisk for twrp to stick (I had another one I've broken)
But I don't understand what's the advantage to first flash a fastboot rom..? As you say to flash twrp would loose root and vice versa... (I've read the thread you're talking about ofox)
So I wanted to go trough +- the way I mentionned, as A13 as well as ofox 'seems' to work (but I'm carefull with that twrp on stock MIUI A12, and I never used ofox..)
So you do think it's a bad idea ?? The rom I want to flash is crdroid.
I'm more lost now ...
Thanks again !
