Hello!
Yesterday I installed Resurrection Remix Rom and it worked great. So I configured everything to my needs including setting the security to ask for a pattern on Restart. So everything is encrypted.
After a reboot the phone kept crashing and I tried to go back to my old system. Somehow I managed to set the security to none so I can revert to my old system. I then rebooted to Recovery but in Recovery it asked me for a password. I never set a password so I don’t know what to insert in here. I tried various stuff but nothing worked. I also can’t reboot back into the system without a password. It looks like my phone is still encrypted.
Is there any way how I can decrypt my files?
Can i "convert" my old pattern into a password and this will decrypt everything?
And if I am ok with losing my data, how can I just wipe everything and install a new rom?
Thank you for your help!
easiest way to delete all your data is via twrp, select everything in twrp wipe section and execute. your phone will be completely empty now. reconnect your phone to your pc and copy paste the rom and gapps and flash.

I was in TWRP and tried to Wipe just the Data and Cache partitions but it told me that it was unable to mount storage.
I thinkt that since don't know the password i don't have permission to mount partitions.

Have you reflashing the stock recovery and doing a factory reset? After that you can reflash twrp and delete data. You can try if that works.

So you think i can mount the data partition again after a factory reset from the stock recovery?
I will try to flash the stock recovery when i get home.
I suppose i have to flash it via fastboot?

I read it on xda that this process resolves the issue and yes it has to be done via fastboot in bootloader mode. Stock recovery is available on oneplus's website.

I just flased the stock recovery via fastboot and made a factory reset.
After that I could reboot back into the system without any security question.
Sadly, all data are gone, meaning it did also wipe the internal storage partition. This is a pity but I'm really glad to have my phone back.
Thank you for your support

TWRP asks for a password even if you set a PIN.
enter your PIN - it should work.
my phone is encrypted running sultan's CM and TWRP asks me for a password when I go in, and my PIN works

Phone was rooted and running CM10.2 nightlies just fine. I had to encrypt my phone for work email, no issues. I now want to change ROM's to a TW because of WiFi Calling.
So here is what I did:
- I did a TWRP (2.6.3.1) backup before starting
- Advanced Wipe Dalvik/Cache/System/Data/Internal Storage as well as Format Data to remove encryption
- Downloaded SWARMROM, flashed ROM, Modem, SuperSU.
Flash went good, rebooted with T-Mo splash and boot animation. Before I can do anything, I get a prompt to "Enter your PIN or password to use the encrypted device memory". My old password doesn't work and it won't let me in. All I can access is Emergency Call.
I have even formatted my external drive thinking it might be what is still encrypted, re-ran the install process, but same result.
I did trip the KNOX counter somehow, if that matters.
Any advice?

The backup doesn't have encryption. But there is somewhere on the phone that a Stock ROM is detecting encryption from. I can go to any Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM, but not a Stock or even OMNI.
Finally got it.
ODIN root66 Stock ROM, reboot to encrypted error. Boot into factory recovery and wipe/factory reset, then wiped cache for good measure. Rebooted and it came up without the encryption prompt. Let the WiFi Calling commence.

You saved my arse today, THANK YOU! I have been out of the flashing game for some time now so I was getting stuck when I had the same issue as you, but thankfully, now it's back to normal, phew!
I've gone and screwed up again. I managed to root and install TWRP from Lollilop. Before flashing with CM13, I wiped everything except the external SD and I believe I wiped TWRP and SuperSU in the process. So then I was like, no biggie, let's root and get TWRP back on. I rooted via ADB but now when I power the phone up, it's stuck in an endless CM boot screen.
How can I resolve this. Go back to stock and start over? I really want to avoid any further screw ups hence why I am posting here.
Thanks!
Can anyone offer some pointers? I'm truly at loss and I don't want to brick the phone.

Yeah, sure.
So how about telling me first how you managed to wipe TWRP? I'm pretty sure there is no option under "wipe" to wipe the recovery partition?
And CM13 is rooted, all you need to do is enable it in settings, you can install SuperSU optionally if you wish to manage superuser access with it.
So like, confirm that you actually wiped recovery (still don't get it how? you used dd command?), try to enter TWRP with hardware key combination. If successful get a new CM13 zip and reflash.

Under the wipe settings of TWRP, I checked all the boxes except external SD. Then after installing CM13, the phone didn't power on unless I pulled the battery before turning it on. Also, recovery mode doesn't boot into TWRP is simply says Factory Reset? Which is the stock recovery I believe.
This is the first time that TWRP doesn't work after wiping the phone and installing CM.
No.. It is not stock. If you installed cm then you had twrp. Just click yes when asked to wipe and you will go to twrp.

Hi! I went into the latest TWRP recovery with unlocked bootloader, and I wiped system, cache, dalvik and data. Then I flashed the proper vendor image, the ROM zip, Gapps and then Elemental X kernel. However, when I reboot, it just boots me into TWRP recovery. I have tried wiping dalvik cache and cache. I then tried restoring a nandroid, but it just got stuck on the Google screen. Didn't even get to the colored dots screen. I ended up flashing factory image, but I would like to get my Nandroids working and this ROM. Please help! Thanks
I'm no expert but I think it might be happening because of encryption. Did you disable encryption before doing all this stuff?

Encryption in stock Android? As far as I know, I can't turn it off. It says that the device is encrypted in settings. I think nougat forces encryption.
Unless maybe there's a patched kernel that can do that?

I dont think is your problem , im encrypted and never have issues with twrp! Never!! What version of twrp you running? Theres an unofficial kicking around that is much better than official! Maybe you got a bad download! I would redownload all, find and download unofficial twrp 3.0.2.3 I believe. Let your phone boot before you flash custom kernel, thats always worked great for me. The latest official twrps 3022 and 3021 both have nandroid restore issues as well efs restore issues that could ruin your day

Wipe just deletes all data on the partition. Format makes the partition again, therefore it removes encryption, repairs potential problems etc. Format data has dedicated button in TWRP, for formatting System go to Advanced Wipe, check system, tap on Partition details, check EXT4 and perform format.

A Thought
Dunno if this will help, but whenever I flash a ROM/kernel combo, I always flash the ROM/gapps, boot up with whatever kernel is included in ROM to make sure it boots properly, and then after successful boot flash EX kernel through TWRP.
OK, so I formatted DATA and SYSTEM, and I wiped CACHE and DALVIK. I then flashed the proper vendor image, pushing it to the device with adb push, and then adb sideload for the pure nexus ROM. It's currently installing. Then, I will adb sideload the gapps ZIP file. Then I'll reboot and see if it worked
EDIT: It just said "No OS installed"
EDIT 2: Just flashed the ROM again, and it is showing the boot animation. This time I did not do Gapps. I also wiped and formatted everything again. Hope all goes well.
EDIT 3: The ROM booted fine. Glad all is working now

So I had flashed the ROM with no Google Apps or anything, just the ROM. But when I add a Google Account, I can't because it says Google Play Services has stopped. I just noticed that the build number is one of a Nexus 6P, and the vendor image is different, the one I manually flashed.
Here's where I am. Have twrp. tried to go back to stock. I messed something up. Now when I reboot to bootloader it says something about a script and "running open recovery script" is at the top. It instantly reboots to 1plus logo and back to twrp. I can get to bootloader but not recovery. Any advice before I rma it? Thanks if you can help.
Do not try to re lock bootloader
So can you get to TWRP or not? You state you can't get to recovery? Can you useADB?

Have you tried Formatting the data partition? You might try that then do a system reset and then reinstall whatever ROM you want. Note, it will wipe all the data on your internal sd card, so you should transfer important files to a pc. You will also have to reinstall recovery via ADB.

What is the process to do this? I will definitely try it. What does formatting do? Thanks for your help
Formatting will completely ERASE your internal storage partition, so you will LOSE all personal files that are stored here. You need to backup your data first to your pc, etc.
Boot into TWRP and select 'WIPE'. Then select the button on the lower right, 'Format Data'. You will be presented with a warning screen where you will have to type 'Yes' to confirm you understand that you are deleting all personal files. Type 'Yes' and it will format this partition. Personally, I then go back and perform a factory reset after formatting the Data partition. I then reboot back into recovery and transfer over the files that I need from my PC.
Hopefully this will fix the issue for you.

How?
My phone is not rooted and is stuck in Bootloop.
Please and thank you if you could help.
Before you do anything, try to figure out if you can boot your phone into these 2 mode:
Download mode - With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power
Recovery mode - With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Up + Power. (Take a picture of your recovery mode because it will tell your bootloader version)
If you can't get into those mode, your phone is likely to have a bigger problem.

The instruction is for Samsung i9305 but it will work on d2att. To flash TWRP into your phone, you need to follow this instruction. (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/i9305/install). Also you need those files:
Heimdall suite - http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/#downloads
TWRP image - https://twrp.me/Devices/Samsung

The only way to flash stock firmware into the phone, is with the software Odin. It's basically starting your phone with a fresh firmware through 'Download Mode' with your phone (With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power). It will erase everything.

There was a link in the thread to the official TWRP website with instructions for using Odin to install TWRP for the d2att which is the SGH-i747: : https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys3att.html
Download the tar version of TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/Devices/ I recommend starting with version 2.8.7.0 as a starting point.
Download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ntid=1168421&usg=AOvVaw0aq_x8M8nbsqDFAFe9tFoy
Download and install the Windows Samsung USB drivers: https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows. I assume you are using a Windows computer.
Make sure the battery is fully charged. Open Odin, do not check anything except f reset time, click on the PDA box and select the TWRP tar file, connect the phone in download mode to the computer with the original Samsung USB cable, flash the TWRP. When you see the word reset, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to get into recovery. Once in recovery, mount the data partition and copy of the data.
WARNING: flashing a phone always involves risk and you could wind up with a bricked phone and/or loss of data. Proceed cautiously and at your own peril.
Thank You
Thank You So Much!

Yes it will, you need to figure out what's making your system bootloop and resolve it or wipe data and cache.

The data is what makes the system bootloop in most of the cases and since you're not rooted it is certainly the data what's causing the problem so restoring it would solve nothing.
The option is there on twrp to wipe data and cache.
---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------
To inevstigate hmmm
You need to remember what you did before the bootloop happened
For example if you installed and app try to remove it and it's data using the twrp file browser.

Before proceeding, I recommend copying what you can to a computer by mounting the data partition. Then, I would create a complete backup (system and data). Once completed, copy the back to at least one safe place, preferably 2.
Now, try wiping the cache only and reboot. It may be a cache problem that is preventing the phone from fully booting.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to provide instructions to back up text and notes.

I wiped cache and still nothing.
Is there any other options besides factory reset?
Can the backup bring it back to the way it was or will it make it bootloop again?
I haven't used twrp for a long time but you could try restoring the backup and wipe the cache before booting.
Note that restoring your backup will overwrite what's currently in the phone storage.

The only option maybe you have is using adb to uninstall apps one by one and hope it fixes the bootloop. You can try maybe to clear the dalvik cache + cache but I think you have done that.
I have been in this situation before. It's not fun at all. The only way to backup/recover data in a modular way, is with apps like Titanium Backup [root] and Helium. Backup your app + data when the phone is working. When you have a bootloop, do a factory reset and restore the app data incrementally. They are really great apps.
