Can someone assist me on how to do a full clean wipe of the phone so I can install the stock ROM, and does that also include wiping TWRP, I want to return the phone to the state it was in when I first purchased it
Phone Model: HTC One M8 (Sprint)
Issue: after installing SIM Unlock helper, a lock option locked the device with a password that I couldn't find after multiple failed Factory resets that didn't remove this password. Using TWRP I was able to delete everything on the device, using the advanced wipe and selecting all, so no system is deleted but I am not able to install the RUU as it shows "less than 30% battery, while it is full".
I believe SIM unlock helper is just as scam, and developer isn't even cooperating to provide the password for the lock, so I advise you not to use it!

I am a noob looking to try out the touchwiz rom,
My 10.1 is encrypted and trying to remove the encryption using the menu option in settings- factory data reset - it just reboots like nothing happened and asks for the password (I wanted to turn off/get rid of the encryption). I get a box open and android icon for a brief moment at reboot.
Using ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.4 the wipe/factory reset option selected and it errors on the mounting /data. Can't mount or format /data too.
This 10.1 retail has a locked bootloader and is rooted.
Anybody? So far not bricked, ,
got it
I used odin and followed instructions here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119492
I lost clockworkmod and it did not recognize my password on reboot, but it did let me wipe everything.
You might have to wipe user data to get rid of the encryption. But you will loose all ur data

I'm having the same trouble - and no amount of flashing various stock or CWM recovery gets me to a point where I can actually format / remove the encrypted partition.
The device had been rooted - and then encrypted - and it wasn't until I attempted to reboot into recovery with CWM (hoping to perform a factory reset) that I got into a boot loop.
Days, and countless flashing later - I'm no closer. The one thing I find interesting: when I flash particular (CWM) recovery / images, and reboot - I actually get the 'pre-boot authentication' page, which still accepts my encryption passphrase. It's after this point - that I'm just staring at a black screen.
Perhaps nvflash might be the right tool for the job - so off to learn about THAT. Every day, a new adventure - and another twist down the rabbit hole.
Thanks in advance to anyone with some insight / links / tips to share.

I'm facing what I think is a similar problem on an AT&T Galaxy s3 i747 with Paranoid Android. I had to encrypt for work email, and ever since then it regularly reboots whenever I try to do something (~25 second effort)... when I do the factory reset, or try reflashing a ROM, it seems to reboot before the action completes... Can you advise how I might solve this?
I've already tried CWM to redo everything... Factory reset does not complete as it always asks for the encryption password once started again... I just want to get back to unencrypted please. Any ideas? Maybe ODIN CWM then try a new install? formatting my SD card? Thanks in advance...
Hi, I had the same problem as above.
I was unable to factory reset with CWM recovery as it couldn't flash the data partition or sd card and couldn't mount them.
However, using the stock recovery, the factory reset and formatting worked fine returning back to an unencrypted device.
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know how I can wipe/decrypt an encrypted ATT HTC One? I need to remove encryption to install another ROM.
Prior to this phone I had a Galaxy S3 and to remove encryption I needed to use ODIN to restore the device to factory defaults.
I have tried to enter the encryption initial PIN incorrectly a number of times and the phone just reboots,
I have tried to enter the encryption PIN incorrectly after getting past the first encryption password over 40 times and that did not work either.
I tried a factory reset in CWM and that did not work as it could not mount /data (assuming that is because it is encrypted.)
I am now trying to SOFF and factory reset with CWM.
* UPDATE *
So I succesfully S-OFF'd my device, booted into the boot loader, chose the "factory reset" option which launched CWM, chose factory reset and same issue. CWM reports "Formatting data... Error mounting /data! Skipping Format..."
Can anyone provide any input?
Flash stock recovery, reboot to bootloader, then factory reset.
Hi there,
I used the LG bootloader unlock tool, and managed to install TWRP and supersu. Just followed this tuto.
All was fine, but Titanium Backup was telling me that it can't access root permissions. So I did a factory reset by TWRP. And now...
Every time I boot my phone, a warning pop on the screen :
Code:
Warning : Current version is not avaiable for user. Can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mnc[FFFFFF],subset[11]
Then there a title "Encryption in progress" and a button "Reinit phone", which bring me back in TWRP.
I tried to reflash the unlock.bin, TWRP, and no-verity-opt-encrypt, but nothing seems to work in order to get my phone back.
I still can access to bootloader, adb and twrp, but system won't go further than this encryption screen.
Any help is welcome.
i got the same problem :/
If you've made a stock boot partition backup in TWRP, restore that and try booting.
If you didn't, wait for someone to post one that you can restore I suppose.
It makes me wonder if it's possible to even boot the G5 without encrypted userdata. Yikes.
Just to be clear, you used [Format Data] button - NOT factory reset swipe, right? (if your userdata partition is encrypted, I'm not sure that factory reset swipe would be able to do anything)
I used TWRP Wipe option, before using no-verity-opt-encrypt. I mean the basic one, which only wipe data and cache.
Can someone send us a boot partition to flash ?
Someone find the solution here.
Many thanks to him, problem solved.

I installed TWRP using Odin, formated data in TWRP then installed magisk and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip using TWRP. When I was setting up the phone, it asked me if I want a screen lock. I selected a pin and when the phone was locked, it wouldn't accept the pin that I had set, saying that it was incorrect. Then the phone went on a boot loop when I restarted it.
I rebooted to TWRP, formated data, reinstalled magisk and no-verity-no-encrypt... This time I select the pattern lock and I'm locked out again.
Phone model is SM-J600G on android 9
Probably irrelevant: Before I flashed TWRP properly, I flashed it and didn't format data, so my phone got bricked and I had to use odin to install a new stock firmware.

You also need RMM-State-Bypass and the no-verity has a better version here, https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe And you need to wipe Data BEFORE installing No-verity.
