Hello!
Yesterday, I updated my phone from A10 to A12 with full OTA and applied magisk on inactive slot.
After rebooting, all seems to work, no bootloop, android was optimizing apps... so far so good, I reached the point where my patter was asked. There was no problem with it.
The problem appeared when trying to open any APP and the android answer was (for any app) "Failed to read the app data. Cannot start the app"
Okay, I tried to go to settings and was unable to do so. After putting phone in airplane mode, settings worked but clearing apps cache or data did not help.
Trying to fastboot boot twrp.img did not work until I found https://github.com/rabilgic/twrp_device_oneplus_hotdogb/tree/Android-12.1 by another xda user.
Even being another device it worked (afaik they were unified twrp so they should work for both). However, once booted, the first problem appears. Inserting my patter did not decrypt the data in twrp... Booting into system removing pattern and try TWRP again and nothing changed...
Checking in twrp the data/data lead see all folders and files encrypted there... So this is probably why any app is working...
After reading, I saw that fbev2 was applied to A12 so this might be the problem. My guess was that flashing a A11 rom might save my data since the encryption should be the same older one v1. However, I am unable to flash ROMS with TWRP... Tried with OTG or sideload, but both failed. I would like to know if there is a way to flash an older rom (A10 whcih was my original one or A11) to decrypt the data or make the A12 decryption work to recover all my apps and data.
I do not know if flashing any further (of if I had already) lost the decryption keys or what is going on.
I had extracted the .img from a full A10 OTA (OOS) and I am hesitant of flashing all 32 images to the phone or if that will wipe data partition.
How can I proceed if possible without losing data with a flash, or how can I decrypt the data to make it work with A12?

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:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/benefit-form-leaving-x829-to-indian-t3609698
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
More reading here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/benefit-form-leaving-x829-to-indian-t3609698
Another user suggests Chinese ROMs since they are likely not to encrypt the files. In other words, updating to a Chinese ROM might help.

Hi, kinda desperate here
I was trying to flash Fulmics into my H850 and accidentally (****ed up, actually) installed no verity opt encrypt (5.1) thinking that was part of the process.
Flashed Fulmics successfully but it's now stuck on the secure start-up screen, which requires a password that I can't even type cos the keyboard won't show up (System UI crashes). I was on stock Nougat, flashed TWRP (3.0.2.1), tried to root but it didn't work as well.
edit: no idea what this no verity zip file does but it doesn't seem like it has something to do with the problem
Tried flashing Fulmics again and the no verity zip afterwards but it still gets to this screen
did you format your data partition in TWRP before installing FULMICS?
if not, why not? This procedure was suggested.
(You should make a backup of "data" in front of!)
{ as i know, it is not possible to decrypt the data partition until now. The own way to go seems to be to format data before installing something other . ->but see my signature 1&2!!}
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
Hey all, so it appears that I screwed my phone, I am not sure how.
I was running LineageOS, and wanted to update to Android 10 one, so I followed the steps, and I think I screwed the sideloading part, so... long story short now when rebooting from OrangeFox RecoveryProject it says no OS detected, and when it boots it says encryption unsuccessful, I tried wiping and installing DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v17.2 and restarting, and the same thing happens.
I tried to flash through recovery both, and did not work:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/beryllium/
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/vendor/beryllium/
And when trying to flash through miFlash it doesn't work:
I go to fastboot in poco, hit refresh in miflash, it shows a device in the list, but the phone goes dark with 'something key to shutdown` written in the top left corner and if I hit the flash button nothing happens.
Can anyone assist with that please?

This happened to me when I accidentally deleted the OS when flashing the latest MIUI 11 build (using TWRP). THIS IS HOW I FIXED IT.
Find a full firmware of whatever you wanted to flash, either Lineage or MIUI 11. Then flash via your recovery (you said you have orangefox). Use an external sd card, external USB or HDD since you technically wouldn't have access to your internal data. After flashing, same process as most updates, clear cache and dalkiv. Then flash a newer DFE (if you still want to decrypt, there is a page here in xda with it. Or go to miui forums Happybuddhist, the mod there, made a new one prebuilt with Magisk). Then reboot into recovery to make sure you keep your custom recovery. Once booted to recov. Boot to system. Should fix the issue.

I tried that, now I am a step forward I think, I flashed the stock firmware I found, and installed the latest stock ROM, rebooted (doesn't say no os anymore), but the only thing I see is a DELETE ALL DATA button and at the bottom 'Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google account.'

So I had an OS-less phone that don't get recognised in MiFlash, and I had orangeFox recovery.
The steps to fix were:
- Flash a full stock Firmware
- Flash the stock ROM
- Flash DFE
- Format data to ext4
- Reboot and it works
So thanks all for your help
Was updating my nord EU .12 > .14.
Always had my device rooted with magisk. But before updating i flashed my stock boot.img(android/magiskbackup)
This time i did the same flashing with fastboot.
After that i tried to download the OTA update only like i did with previous updates. (hidden folder .ota)
But this time it did not download only and, did not gave me the option to install but only to reboot system, and also the hidden .ota folder not to be found.
So i thought maybe in this forum manual update zip file so i found one Nort posted (15dec) in topic Stock Boot & Patched images.
Booted into TWRP first creating a backup and after that installing the update_A12_auf_A14.zip
Device tried to boot but did not boot. Only the oneplus nord image in bootloop.
Ok so updating went terribly wrong, so i thought i would restore my backup.
Booted TWRP restoring my image.
Device tried to boot i see the oneplus nord image and it starts to boot but after that i see a black screen with the text shutting down...
If i press the power button screen turns off and when on stays in this shutting down... screen image.
What has happened to my device how can i restore it can anyone please help me out what to do next?
Also, previous updates i did for the nord 2 rooted device went fine.
For some reason after i did factory reset wiping data/cache etc.
And restored the backup, it was able to boot.
But TWRP now changed my lockscreen pin and also i'm not able to decrypt internal storage anymore after the restored backup.
I was able to manage to remove the lockscreen pin by removing locksettings.db in data/system.
The recovery was a mess because it now is still half broken with my background image and the text shutting down.. i couldn't access my homescreen/launcher, only able to get into settings with the drop down slidebar. (confirmed back to A12 version).
And now i have another problem i cannot access my internal storage anymore through TWRP and through android transfer files.
So i cannot install any zip or img anymore and restore/have access to my backups.
So is the only option now adb sideload i cause. What should i do now?
I do not want to wipe my internal storage data i really need access to those files.
Does anyone with experience have good suggestions?
