Just a quick question? I've encrypted my device and when I enter the password in twrp it says its wrong and won't decrypt yet my password is correct. Will this also effect backing up a nandroid. On lineage 15.1 with Sphinx kernel.

I've enabled device encryption in the stock AT&T ROM. Is it possible to mount this encrypted /data in TWRP? The TWRP threads suggest it is, but TWRP 2.7.0.2 just errors out, never asking me for a password. The TWRP 2.6.x M7 port did ask me for one, but didn't accept the correct one.
Hi everyone
I am trying to install multiROM, i flashed TWRP-multirom, flashed multirom.zip but, multirom won't boot.
When i try to decrypt OOS, using fastboot format userdata, reflash etc... OOS in security tab say "Encrypted".
What i have to do?
If i restore "/data" backup created with TWRP BEFORE decrypt, does the rom get encrypted again?
Thank you for all!
BUMP
I need help
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 ...)
Random and stupid Question.
to unlock and root oreo is it the same as normal ie remove screenlock and flash 8.0 twrp, custom rom and no verfy
You can root Oreo even while encrypted. You just need an Oreo compatible version of TWRP that is able to properly decrypt /data like Codeworkx or Blu_Spark TWRP and then flash Magisk. I haven't had the need to decrypt the phone in order to flash and root any version of OOS yet as long as you're using the proper version of TWRP.
With the latest official TWRP you can decrypt Oreo. If it fails, remove the PIN or password but once you're in TWRP you can flash everything like it is unencrypted. No need to worry about that.
with the new twrp, does it mean i do not have to use Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.27.2019 after flashing twrp for the first time, i maybe wrong wrong but i read new twrp decrypts for you, so do i still need to flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt my phone is encrypted
reading here it does not mention dm verity https://droidfeats.com/how-to-install-redmi-8-twrp-and-root/
maybe just an example，
Xiaomi Redmi 8 (olive)
Xiaomi Redmi note 8/8T (ginkgo/willow)

Firstly post in the correct device forum . This is Redmi note 8(ginkgo)/8t(willow) forum.
Secondly no. TWRP does not decrypt anything for you. if you're encrypted you have to enter the device password/pattern everytime you boot into twrp. Sometimes it doesn't even ask for password/pattern and shows you internal storage in encrypted format. So you need to format data to get rid of encryption and then flash universal forceencrypt disabler.
