Partitions Always Get Encrypted in TWRP - OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A

I'm using twrp-3.4.0-2-hotdog-unified-mauronofrio and flashed Resurrection (RROS-Q-8.6.6-20210119-hotdog-Official) on one of my slots. However, TWRP won't see anything (storage always showing 0) No prompt for the password if I set up the lockscreen.
The only workaround is to return the stock recovery, then select delete everything.
BUT, if I reboot the phone and pass the welcome screen, the TWRP won't be able to see anything again.
The same thing applies to the stock ROM, even if I didn't set up any screen lock passwords.
That's really frustrating. I don't even have a chance to flash the decryption zip.
How to address this issue? Thanks.

You have to flash twrp before and wipe data prior to installation

Only work on custom roms, and you need to wipe all in fastboot d then flash twrp. Are you using chinese twrp?

Because that twrp is not updated

I have Lineage 17.1 Unofficial installed, using twrp-3.4.0-2-hotdog-unified-mauronofrio.
I also tried rigorously following instructions provided by LuK1337 @ https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/hotdog/install still no luck.
I guess I'll just stay on the Lineage 17.1 Unofficial as it works very well as is.

I'll try that now. You may have just saved my day.
Update: Confirmed to be the ONLY solution available,
good work sir!! Now if only we could bump this for more potential readers.
For me what I did was I had my phone encrypted but wanted to take encryption off. What I did was locked my bootloader, flashed ruu and then after that it cleaned up my internal data and everything was new. Then I went ahead and unlocked my bootloader installed cwm and installed custom Rom no more encryption!
Some people say that if you enable encryption the method I tried might not work to decrypt the device, but looks like it was possible;P

Phone stuck at white htc screen

Hi, i recently got new phone and manage to break it in few hours trying to install cm-11-20140130-NIGHTLY-enrc2b and forgot to do nandroid backup.
I want to go back to stock rom but i can't figure out how to do anything.
After i cut my sim card to mini size i don't have any other phone to use with it so i need to fix it asap. Please anyone help.
Flash the boot img in fastboot . Just google how to flash fast boot. The boot is located in the rom zip . Or try to run the latest ruu specific for your phone

My phone is missing OS (i think), boot.img didnt help, also i can't put any file on my phone.
About that RUU, someone needs to explain me how can i find working one.

You have a custom recovery installed , i suppose..TWRP? you should ADB sideload a custom rom. If you have international or AT&t version both are available in the Rom sections(http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x2/development?nocache=1) . Before doing sideload erase all.
Goodluck.
I have CWM installed now, tried to install from sideload but didn't work, "error: device not found" or "device offline"
Installed TWRP and adb sideload don't work anyway. Or wait, it worked. Sending now.
After installing, i press Reboot System and "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" warning shows up. After rebooting i'm back to start.
Just tried to install other custom rom and still phone won't go past that screen.
ok stop
breathe
sideload a new rom on twrp (is a pain) it will never flash 1st time
once it's "sideloaded" you can install a zip called sieload.zip under the rom install menu.
MAKE SURE you wipe
data (not storage) system and cache
INSTALL the rom
fastboot flash boot boot.img in the bootloader
reboot
adb shows up "error: closed"
adb shows up "error: closed"
used adb kill-server and start-server and error gone
And still does not start, stuck at white htc screen.

ok, you NEED the boot.img from the zip file.
so on your pc open up the zip, and extract boot.img to the adb folder
then reboot your device into bootloader and do

tried first installing rom then boot.img and vice versa but still nothing works.
Is there some other way that will work?
I don't know why but it never install rom, it says that installation is complete, but it's not.

TWRP - No OS Installed After Installing ROM

Hi,
I'm currently trying to install CyanogenMod onto my HTC One X+, but keep running into problems.
I unlocked the bootloader, and installed TWRP v2.8.7.0.
I went into recovery fine, and used "adb push" to push cm-11-20150906-NIGHTLY-enrc2b.zip onto the device and install it through TWRP.
I then tap "reboot" but it always tells me that "No OS Installed", and rebooting into the bootloader to flash the boot.img and erase the cache doesn't seem to fix this issue.
I've tried a few different versions of recoveries, like CyanogenMod's recovery, but still can't seem to get it to install any OS. Always just get stuck on the HTC logo.
Am I missing an important step, or something? Thanks for your time.
hmm...sounds correct. just try it again.
1. boot into bootloader
2. flash the boot.img from the zip you want to install (for cm11 i recommend to flash nik3rs kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012320)
3. reboot into recovery
4. select wipe from twrp menu
5. install the zip
6. reboot
why dont you try cm12? much better performance!

Ok, I tried again.
I went into the bootloader and flashed boot.img.
Then went into recovery, and did a factory reset via the wipe menu.
Then used "adb push" to push cm-11.zip to my /sdcard/.
Then I installed the zip without any issues.
But then when restarting, it still warned me no OS was installed.
Booting anyways just got me stuck at the HTC logo.
I then tried again, this time flashing the kernel with Nik3r's file.
And then doing all the same stuff as before, but still getting the no OS was installed message and stuck on the HTC logo.
Perhaps it's the ROM I'm using? I'm not sure why it's telling me "no OS is installed" right after installing one.

I never used "adb push" to push the ROM installation .zip onto my phone.
If you've made a nandroid backup, then go back to stock and give it a try to transfer the .zip in normal USB/Phone mode.
Afterwards repeat the process as described above.
When I flashed my last CM11 ROM, I used CWM as recovery and I flashed the boot.img after full wipe and rom/gapps installation.
After flash process I restarted the phone into bootloader and flashed the boot.img via adb. Then first normal reboot of the phone.
Worked without any issues...

I tried with TWRP again and actually decided to write down the entire log for installing the zip, maybe that'll help. It does say some things about errors, unsure if they're actual bad, or not, as it does succeed.
Of course after installing the zip, I selected 'Reboot' then 'Reboot into Bootloader', then used 'fastboot flash' to flash the boot.img with the boot.img from within the cm-12.zip.
Code:
Installing '/sdcard/cm-12.zip'..

I tried CWM a few days ago while attempting this ( as it's linked in the CyanogenMod wiki ), and I just attempted it again with it and still cannot get past the logo.
Here is the log from CWM.

Seems like you've wiped your internal SD card partition, if it's unable to detect the ext4 format.
It's mentioned under Post 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390
If so... Search the forum for a solution. Never had this issue. Good luck

I read the post, and maybe I did wipe my SD Card. I have no idea on how to fix that, and I'll have to research more.
I would like to just use Hasoon2000's toolkit but sadly can't find a working download for it.
Same problem here! Nothing is working. It is saying no OS. Always booting into fastboot mode. Someone help. I have a Moto G3 1540

Follow these steps and recover your device.
1. Unlock your bootloader if you have it locked
2. Boot into TWRP
3. Go to Wipe
4. Go to Advanced
5. Select everything except USB - OTG and SD Card
6. Boot into fastboot
7. Download the stock image of your phone
8. Flash it to your phone ( Please find it online)
9. After flashing do not reboot!!!
10. Download Cyanogenmod recovery and flash it to your device.
11. Boot into the newly installed recovery.
12. Go into Apply Update
13. Go into Apply Update from ADB
14. Sideload the Cyanogenmod using the command adb sideload filename.zip ( Replace filename with the name of your zip)
15. After Sideloading, boot into fastboot mode.
16. In fastboot mode, Select BP Tools.
17. Boom! Your device will start booting
Hope this helps you:good::good:

I have a Nexus 7 2013 that I commonly use as both my daily driver (tablet-only) and as my ROM-testing guinea-pig. I had AOSP Android 7 installed before I wiped everything, due to an issue with Google Play (which I just couldn't fix for the life of me). When I went to flash a new ROM (AOSP Android 7.1.1), TWRP claimed that there was 'No OS'. This would mean that you definitely wiped everything - possibly including the partitions. My guess is:
If there are no partitions (esp. System, Recovery, Boot, Cache, etc.), the data meant for them may still get written to the device's storage. But the bootloader/kernel won't recognize where to pass the torch to when it's time for the system/userspace to come in.
In order to get this back , you may need either:
A) a ROM that has images for at least the System, Cache, and Boot partitions (add your own recovery if need-be).
B) a Stock ROM from the manufacturer's website, which tends to come with all of these images ready in the .zip
Once you flash one of those, you should confirm that your bootloader is unlocked. Once that is done, flash the ROM of your dreams
I hope this helped...

But after flashing successfully a ROM it still reboots to the recovery. (I tried it with 3 different ROMs.)
Any idea what else should/could try?

Alright did that and now I keep getting a red triangle with exclamation point in it

tried to flash firmware, cant do anything now

Hi all,
The story is that I had Linage flashed, but it said it was time to update the firmware, so I tried to do that.
I booted in twrp and flashed the most recent firmware. I had plenty of power on the battery. But after it finished it booted into a classic miui interface. From here it only got worse. It asked for my password which I entered several times, but it was incorrect.
What I tried was to clear the storage. But I get the same error when it boots - it boots into miui, then shortly after a google load screen and then it reboots.
I tried downloading the mi flash tool. But when I connect the phone and locate the file, the screen has just one line in the corner saying something like "press any key to reboot".
With the adb command it doesn't seem like there is actually made a connection.
I do not really care which OS you suggest I install, as long as it at least can get it up and running again.
------------------
I just got it into fastboot and it goes fine with fastboot devices where I can see that it is connected, but when I enter fastboot flash recovery twrp.img then the phone reboots with an error code in the cmd window saying:
"FAILED (Write to device failed (Unknown error))
fastboot: error: Command failed"
Any suggestions to what I can do? Can it be the twrp image that is causing the issue?

This will work with any Android 10 custom ROM
If you want to stay unencrypted, you have to use dfe (disable force encryption). I have never used it, but if you want it try to get one without magisk.
1. 11.0.6 is the latest firmware. You can download it from here:https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/beryllium/
2. You have to format your internal storage.
3. Steps: go to recovery (press back when it asks for password)->wipe->format data (it will ask you to type "yes")-> wipe system, data, internal storage,cache, davlik cache
Copy firmware,rom, gapps, dfe into your internal storage, flash firmware (most ROMs include vendor but flash full firmware just to be sure), ROM, gapps, dfe and reboot.

Twrp!
You flash firmware as a normal zip.
I understand that twrp works for you.
If it doesn't, flash twrp through fastboot and then proceed as i mention above
Thanks for your replies.
The problem I have is that fastboot does not really seem to work.
When I try to do a fastboot command I get the error that goes:
"Sending 'recovery' (31068 KB) FAILED (Write todevice failed (Unknown error))
fastboot:error: Command failed"
Also, I just tried the Mi unlock tool and it seems that it cannot create a connection with the usb cable - so could that be the reason that I cannot flash it?

Download twrp for poco f1 from the official twrp site.
When everything is ready and you have pressed flash, THEN boot into fastboot and connect the cable
Edit: you also might have relocked your bootloader. If what I mention above doesn't work, unlock your bootloader again with the unlock file Xiaomi originally sent you.

The phone doesn't boot into a system, and currently as I load fastboot whenever the connection to the computer is made it goes to a screen saying 'press any key to turn off'.
I did notice, though, that after I from recovery wipe all data, then in the first boot it encrypts the phone. But it never manages to get the OS up and running.

Just downloaded the latest twrp from the official site. And when I tried to flash it I got the same error
"Sending 'recovery' (31068 KB) FAILED (Write todevice failed (Unknown error))
fastboot:error: Command failed"

Thanks for your replies.

This will work with any Android 10 custom ROM
If you want to stay unencrypted, you have to use dfe (disable force encryption). I have never used it, but if you want it try to get one without magisk.
1. 11.0.6 is the latest firmware. You can download it from here:
2. You have to format your internal storage.
3. Steps: go to recovery (press back when it asks for password)->wipe->format data (it will ask you to type "yes")-> wipe system, data, internal storage,cache, davlik cache
Copy firmware,rom, gapps, dfe into your internal storage, flash firmware (most ROMs include vendor but flash full firmware just to be sure), ROM, gapps, dfe and reboot.

HI mate,
I wanna check how long did it take to install Android 10 on your poco?
Cuz I installed the rom for more than 30 minutes after reboot and it is not over by follow your steps.
Idk what's the problem with my poco.
------------------------------------------------------------
New update:
Finally, I completed flash the rom, and Idk what's the problem, lol
I can boot into both fastboot and recovery. The recovery is Mi-recovery 3.0. Though, in recovery it doesn't seem that I can get any connection with it.

update
Currently, when I do anything beyond fastboot devices I get the screen reading "press any key to shutdown"

I can boot into mi-recovery 3.0 but no twrp or other custom recovery.

You most likely had your bootloader re-locked. You have to unlock it again
sorry for the late reply.
I downloaded MiFlashPro, and apparently I could flash miui 11. So far, so good. But as I tried to flash or even boot into twrp I got the same command as I used to.
Can the issue be because I maybe don't have the latest drivers installed?

Do you have all the drivers installed on your pc ?
ADB and Fasboot drivers. And try using usb 2.0 ports. Mi tools have issues with usb 3.0 ports. And You should be on an Intel processor. You can also try twrp 3.3.1 beta by @Reignz.
