I have got myself a Yotaphone 3 Chinese/English 128GB version but it came encrypted and a factory reset does not clear the encryption.
Because of this I have had no success in installing TWRP to root the device so I can fix some of the niggley problems such as installed apps not notifying until manually started.
Does anyone know if the phone can be rooted or flashed while encrypted?

Hey guys.
So last night I was trying to update the rom on my Nexus 9 from a 5.02 release of AICP to the latest one. I boot into TWRP and it asks me for my pass code, then I take a backup, clear the caches and try to install the rom (from the internal storage). I don't think it gave any error messages, but when I rebooted and it got to the screen where you enter the password (I'm guessing where it decrypts or something), it said something about an internal error and that I should contact the manufacturer - when I tried to put the password in it just says that settings crashed over and over.
I tried to restore the backup; as well as factory reset and install the new rom fresh; I keep getting /vendor mount issues, etc. I even tried deleting the system partition and installing the new one, still no dice.
So I'm basically dead in the water at the moment (with no OS at all haha), does anyone have experience with this or any ideas for what to do? All ideas appreciated and thanks in advance.
There may be other ways, but I would suggest booting into bootloader and fastboot flash the stock 5.1.1, factory image. Tutorial here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-flash-t3035153

Have you try reboot the phone into normal Android system? and later try reboot into TWRP, I read somewhere it might work.

Hi guys the solution for my me was doing an entire wipe of everything except recovery then flash rom, it seems that the stock rom of le max was causing that
What was your ROM in the beginning? Was it Indian ROM? Did it have the update manager? Which ROM did you flash after wiping everything except recovery?
I bought the phone from geekbuying with EUI version 5.8.019S (Stable), BUILD: FGXOSOP5801910121S release-keys. It looks like the latest vanilla Indian ROM, but it is most likely vendor-modified since the phone was received unsealed and there is no update manager. The main problem is the encryption - phone is encrypted right from the start without any password or PIN prompts. Factory reset allows to set up everything from the start, but the phone is still encrypted. TWRP asks for a decryption password. I have tried multiple vendor and default passwords with no luck. TWRP factory reset does not prevent the encryption.
This question keeps coming up in forums since people do not seem to search for similar questions. Well, I did. Therefore, I will try to assemble the list related to the encrypted ROM:

Proposed solutions:
CASE 1: No Update manger + encrypted ROM
Since it is a vendor ROM, you can try flashing a clear stock ROM from recovery that can be downloaded from the official LeEco forum http://forum.le.com/in/eui_detail.html?euiid=206 . It might not directly resolve encryption, but will make the update manager appear, which can be used to upgrade to ROM w/o encryption. If you want to stick to the Indian ROMs, but want to remove encryption - see below

CASE 2: Encrypted ROM
You most likely have an Indian ROM. You can try reinstalling the ROM (TWRP) and immediately wiping the data partition from TWRP. Some users report success with this.

One user has found that upon multiple resets with TWRP the encryption seems to be ignored

Another user suggests Chinese ROMs since they are likely not to encrypt the files. In other words, updating to a Chinese ROM might help.

Have any of the proposed solutions worked for you?
Dear readers,
I flashed TWRP 3.3.1, booted into it, wiped data, did factory reset, and installed decrypt for latest pie.
i rebooted into twrp to verify the decryption and indeed I was not asked for a password.
Then I booted into Pie and went through the account setup and while I was doing that some updates got installed by android.
To my horor when I booted back into TWRP it again asked for password, meaning android pie somehow encrypts the data again.
(Second time I did this whole process again I installed magisk.zip, so at least I have root.)
My question is:
How can I stop Android from encrypting again during the account setup process?
Greetings,
Mike
This happens to me too, the only real workaround I've found so far is to flash your zips (ie. magisk) before booting the first time.
I did flash stock image, flash twrp, boot into twrp, format data, flash decrypt.zip, flash Magisk.zip, and reboot. First thing it does is encrypt it again.
Then I tried same process but with no-dm-verity-encrypt.zip or something like that, and it said success, but still Pie decrypts again.
Then I tried previous firmware, (. 48 instead of 51), but same result. It is driving me nuts.
And no help from here so far.
Maybe I should go back to oreo, that worked OK with decrypt.
Greetings
Same problem wait solutions.
Alas, still no fix for this major problem.
What is the point of creating TWRP and other custom recoveries for X01AD when they can not be used for making backups, due to decryption problem?
So please someone with the skills to create a force decryption that actually works, help us out.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Hi everyone, I have a PocoF1 purchased on Amazon a week ago and a Made in Indonesia device has arrived. I managed to install the TWRP and then the Pixel Experiense rom with Android 9, however I cannot have encryption disabled. The steps I do are these;
From TWRP installed the Pixel ROM, I clean cache, I install the zip file to remove the encryption, I make a clean boot to the ROM, from TWRP I format the Data partition and I install Magisk.
Done this when the ROM starts if I go into the phone settings I read "encrypted phone".
Last year on a PocoF1 made in China I managed everything perfectly. I have tried several zip files to decrypt but they don't work.
Tips?

I've had my Redmi Note 5 in storage for a couple of years and want to resurrect it with factory reset original settings; in essence, a clean wipe/restore to when I first got the phone. TWRP is apparently installed and when I try to factory reset from within MIUI and the phone itself I get bounced to TWRP recovery. It's been a few years since I installed TWRP recovery and rooted my phone so I've forgotten a lot. I just want a simple factory reset of MIUI and my phone with all previous apps I've installed gone and data wiped and have the the ability to do OTA updates so I can update to the latest stable MIUI. What's the simplest way to do this?
