So first I installed CM13 + gapps to a new honor 5x phone and it went pretty well until I restored my backup from TWRP (which from another device)
first the issue was my lock screen is giving me incorrect pins. deleted something in the system/data and bypassed it.
then I cannot use my fingerprint scanner (but the pin for lockscreen works now) it shows four fingerprints enrolled (which was mine in the twrp backup) but it says "fingerprint hardware not available" on the lockscreen
so i deleted something in the system / data / user.db which removed the 4 enrolled fingerprint: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/fingerprint-issue-restoring-twrp-backup-t3435170
but now i cannot register the fingerprint. decided to just revert to my stock backup (emui)
and now the fingerprint setting is missing. it appears in the search menu, but whenever I input my pin to register a fingerprint id, it just goes backs to the screenlock settings menu pls haaalp meee
update:
tried reverting back to stock rom by flashing boot.img and system.img from an update.zip (extracted)
was able to use fingerprint scanner again but when I install CM13 (without restoring my backup)
it wont let me get past the set up lock screen password.
whenever I enter my pin, and confirm pin, it wont let me click next. tried skipping it in the setup wizard and went to the lock screen settings and it still wont let me click next after confirming my new pin
I've recently unlocked my bootloader (official method), installed twrp and flashed custom roms along with magisk on my redmi note 4 (mido).
However every time I boot or enter twrp recovery it asks me "To start your android, draw your pattern/password", every time I have to draw the pattern and proceed. Any way I could avoid it at every boot? because it takes long to boot and it's kinda annoying. I know its related to encryption, i have already tried factory reset and wiped internal storage through twrp but nothing works. Also no option to disable encryption in settings>security>encryption. Flashing lazy flasher doesn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

Format data via twrp, that'll decrypt the device.

When you choose your screen unlock method, you select "no thanks" on the secure start-up page ( as shown here ).
Also, turning on an accessibility service will disable that too.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried "fastboot format userdata" comand and it worked.
Please can you tell me how to use fastboot format userdata command , As i am facing same issue. Pls help.

This will remove any security like PIN etc. But if your device is encrypted then you have to Format DATA.

Oh boy!!!
Formatting remove encryption and also delete all data so it's absolutely not required for that "issue" (which is not an issue in fact).
It's "secure boot" it's possible to simply disable it in the settings, instead of asking pin or pattern, one should select none, and that's all, no more "secure boot" and it won't ask anymore for pin or password after boot...
Go to "Settings", select "Security and Location". next, select "Screen lock" then choose your current screen lock type. after that a page will popup asking you to secure start up, select no and enter your current password to disable.
wink wink... that simply does it.
Hi.. I am presently on MIUI10 Global stable.
When I unlock bootloader, install treble recovery ( redwolf twrp) and flash any custom ROM, the device boots and works fine.
But if then again I boot to recovery, data and storage is encrypted and cannot be accessed. No screenlock has been set. Recovery not asking for unlock password also. It just says mounting failed.

yes boie that is simple. Thank you
I'm running the latest Validus Nougat ROM for OnePlus 3. I decided to add a password and encrypt my phone. So I ticked the force encryption and I figured I'd also tick the dmverity option in Magisk and then went and created my password and required password to boot. Reboot my phone and incorrect password. Tried more than a few times before booting to recovery and inputting the same password there to decrypt partition. It works...
So how is it possible that the same password that can decrypt properly through TWRP is incorrect when used to try and boot to system? And also can I recover my data? I did make a full backup 3 weeks ago so it's not the end of the world but a little annoying.
I have installed TWRP and Oreo 8.1 on my OnePlus X. I have had no problems working with Oreo. Today I wanted to install the Magisk app. In TWRP Now was asked for my password for decryption. I enterd my pincode and I have tried several passwords, but no result. I can not remember that I have given a password for the encryption. My problem is now that my device will not start correctly anymore. Also a restant does not help. Android does start without a error and I can unlock but then I have a blocked black screen. Who can help me to solve this problem, please.
did you find a solution? I have the same issue while trying to flash any custom rom ... it has something to do with TWRP version i believe but i'm not 100% sure .. maybe someone would help us both ..
No solution for missing password for recovery decryption
I have not found a solution. I am 100% sure I did not make a password for the encryption, but to make a decryption the system does ask for a password. To solve the problem I did a factory reset . This time I have not used the possibility of encrypting the one plus x in Oreo 8.1. Hopefully the developer of the rom can find and solve the problem.
Hey guys, so I flashed the phone with a new rom but after first boot it says "This device is locked". Only way to unlock it is to join my wifi but I can't because the keyboard won't come up to type the password. I also tried flashing official MIUI rom...same thing. I think I have done something I shouldn't, because it was fine before.

Ok, I solved it. The keyboard does pop up when you are asked to input your mi account password, so I just pressed the "make password visible" button, put the password, copy it and then paste it in the wifi menu.
