So I went to restore a previous ROM and the phone when I go to login is asking for my PIN (as usual). My previous PIN however isn't working. What do I need to do in the future before I make a backup so this doesn't happen again? Thanks.
EDIT: My guess is the data partition being encrypted is causing a problem...it's not a big deal if I don't recover this one but for the future so I know what went wrong?
You'd probably have to format storage in TWRP. Then flash a rom that supports having no encryption
I'm not sure if formatting the restoring a backup with encryption will work, though.

boot back into twrp recovery- advanced - file manager-data-system-delete the files with the name locksettings.adb and 2 or 3more with locksettings file name
Appreciate it guys!
just data/system/lockscreen.db needs to be deleted. :good:
Hi Guys,
i try a few kernel and roms on my op3 and after all this i went back via twrp (twrp_3_0_2_oneplus3_v3 with otg support), in the moment i move the trigger to start restore.
the box "efs" was marked.
after the restore the phone starts, without asking for my pin codes. i see theres no imei and wlan available. another backup except my twrp image (efs1.emmc.win) ive not.
any ideas for a solution, can oneplus rescue this wonderful piece of entertaiment?
Did you do an efs backup at all?

Hi guys, first, sry for my bad english.
I have a huge Problem. I did a Twrp Backup from my Viper rom. After Backing up, i installed cm13. After that, i would go back to my backup from Viper. The Problem is, i can restore the Backup but ive got a bootloop. How can i go back to my Backup ?
Next Problem is, everytime i start into twrp i got asked for the Decrypt password. How can i deactivate that ?
Which TWRP version are you currently on? Sounds asbif it is an older one. If so, try the latest 3.0.2-6 and report back.

hi, im on 3.0.2-6.
Now i restored my Viper backup. It Boots normaly.
Then i have type my Pin, that works. But after that, i have to unlock the Pattern lock. But it says my Code is Wrong.
I know it is the right code. I can try 1000000 different times, i cant unlock

directly from twrp FAQ:
"After I restored my Data backup and boot back to Android, I'm entering the correct PIN/password, but it's telling me the password is wrong. What happened, and how do I fix it?
It appears that sometimes after restoring a backup of Data where security was enabled (such as a PIN or password lock), the device does not recognize the correct password. There are two ways to avoid this issue:
Disable security in Android before making a backup of data.
After restoring Data, while still in TWRP, use the TWRP File Manager to navigate to /data/system and delete all the locksettings.* files (such as locksettings.db, etc). When you reboot, the password will be gone."

adb into the phone via TWRP or live system and rm -rf /system/data/*.key and locksettings* this will reset the security. no one currently knows why twrp is doing this but it seems to only happen to me when flashing a different rom then going back. it does NOT does this if restoring a previous backup of my current rom.
really the only file you need to delete is the locksettings.db file. I've never had issues deleting just that one.
I also tried this way to delete the locksetting.db and can bypass the suck lockscreen!
BTW, highly recommend you that in addition to whole system backup in TWRP, also use Titanium Backup to backup all user apps. In case of restore failure, you still can preserve your user apps and restore in newly installed system.
Hi. I encrypted my device. It is possible to undo this without formatting? I thought there was some way through TWRP Fox, something like restoring a backup... Or the backup is also encrypted (when backing up, it requires the password). If anyone can help me... Thanks!
Hopefully anyone else who googles this issue and finds this thread will find that helpful.
Hi all
I would be grateful for some advise. This is my first phone with a dynamic partition for system and when I try to backup super in twrp it always fails with no error code at all.
I can't seem to find much support and would be grateful for some help to troubleshoot this please. Everything works apart from that- fully rooted etc no issues.
Also, on a side, would I need to restore system if I wanted to restore to a precious backup or would just data suffice? When my phone in the past has borked I have always restored data, boot, recovery and system to get back to a previous state.
Thanks everyone
