Can I update to Pie via TWRP, after editing updater-script, if yes, can I flash decrypt.zip just after updating without formatting data. Actually, I don't want to format my device and install all the applications again.
Is 1903.064 is stable enough to use, I mean cam2api, screen flickering, PUBG on HD setting, charging time it was taking too long to charge earlier, reduced battery backup, screen brightness, cracking sound, double tap was also not working.

Yes. You can. But if the phone is encrypted and flashing decrypt for the first time, decryption comes into effect only after formatting data

No, Mine is decrypted. I am on Oreo with TWRP and already flashed decrypt.zip of Oreo? So can I flash 1903.064 zip via TWRP, after editing updater script and then flash decrypt.zip of Pie, to save my data partition?
I hope decrypt.zip of Pie does not format data while flashing.....

Then no need to format. You won't loose data

is this necessary if i will go for custom rom? i mean just like in oreo, can i use the decrypt.zip for oreo to stock pie in order to decrypt my device? or i will use this one for pie? just to clarify sir.

Flashing decrypt oreo infact caused many problems on wifi/modem for many users. Also decrypt oreo didn't worked on pie for some users. So flashing decrypt pie is recommended for Oreo too.

I'm confused and the rooting step

Hi all. I have zenfone updated to Oreo/android 8.1.
Phone model Z01BDC = ZC551KL .
What should I do to apply this patch to decrypt my /data ?
I installed TWRP 3.1.0.0 and the fact that /data is Encrypted is a problem.
Thank you.

This mod works in X01BD and X00TD. Not sure if it work for Z01BD. You can flash this patch by following the steps in the thread but success isn't guaranteed. Take a system backup as if anything goes wrong. Also be ready to loose your data

I'm not sure about that... I am flashing this file (decrypt pie) for Oreo just. The phone does not boot in this case. I was forced to flashing old decrypt file for Oreo after and it all worked again.

It's not working with Official TWRP 3.3.1-0. I'm using stock Pie .065. Every time I reboot to system, it starts encrypting my device and when I reboot to recovery, TWRP is gone and I'll be booted to stock recovery. Then I flashed TWRP and checked the fstab.qcom. It was never patched. With OFRP, I don't have this issue as it patches fstab.qcom automatically after flashing a zip. But with the zip provided in OP, I'm unable to disable forced encryption. I don't get any error while flashing the zip though. Does any other file needs to be patched to disable forced encryption other than fstab.qcom?

I think twrp official has decryption issues. Check with twrp 3.2.3

I checked with Rk585's TWRP 3.2.3 too. Same issue persists. It worked fine when I was in Oreo.
After flashing the zip, I booted back to recovery and copied the fstab.qcom to my PC to check if it has been replaced with the flashed zip. It did replace it. But when I boot to system, it starts encrypting my device and TWRP gets replaced by stock recovery. So I flashed the TWRP again and checked the fstab.qcom. Voila. It was unpatched. I don't know what is happening during the boot. The patched fstab is getting replaced by original fstab.
Edit: Seems there is a problem with the zip I guess. Or more files need to be patched to disable forced encryption in stock Pie rom. I tested in both PBRP and OFRP.
Case 1: I flashed stock rom in Official TWRP, then flashed PBRP zip and booted into PBRP. After booting into PBRP, it doesn't automatically disable forced encryption if no rom zip is flashed in it. So I flashed the decrypt zip provided in this OP. Then I booted to system, it started encrypting my device.
Case 2: I flashed stock rom in Official TWRP, then flashed OFRP zip and booted into OFRP. After booting into OFRP, it automatically disabled forced encryption even though no rom zip was flashed. Hence after booting into system, it didn't automatically encrypt my device as forced encryption was disabled automatically by OFRP.
So PBRP and OFRP do something else to disable forced encryption other than just patching fstab.qcom. Atleast in stock Pie rom. That's why I'm unable to disable forced encryption by flashing decrypt zip in any of the recoveries unless it is patched by recoveries themselves.

Edit: found it
Here are the Proper Instructions to Install Oxygen OS 4.0 without DM - Verity Error and F2FS -
For Unlocked Bootloader + TWRP + Rooted users (Having any Rom installed before) -
Requisites -
Backup All your internal Storage Data - Sync all Google Stuff - backup all Messages or stuff.

Hyper Stock - https://forum.xda-developers.com/one...stock-t3521946
Procedure -
1.) As mentioned, BACKUP EVERYTHING.
2.) Flash stock oxygen recovery though fastboot or in twrp.
3.) Boot to stock recovery, sideload Official 4.0 ota via adb.
4.) Reboot and dont set up device ( not necessary ) enable developer settings and usb debugging.
5.) Flash TWRP .23 NOT .28 (.28 is bugged with decryption and f2fs errors)
6.) Boot to twrp, wipe /data to f2fs and /system and /cache to ext4.
7.) As wiping everything, copy any custom oxygen os build and supesu 2.79
8.) Flash any custom oxygen os build ( all these 3 builds flashes supersu itself, so no need to flash supersu, buy keep it for further later use.)
9.) Reboot, Setup and copy all ur stuff.
This method will surely get u a Rooted, decrypted, f2fs /data partition Oxygen Os 4.0.
For Stock/Twrp Recovery, Encrypted/Decrytped, Locked/Unlocked Bootloader, Unrooted Users (Those who dont want to root or decyrpt) -
1.) Backup is necessary as internal storage will be wiped, its a one time process as for now every Oneplus update will be f2fs /data compatible.
2.) ADB sideload 4.0 ota.
3.) Reboot and dont set up device ( not necessary )
4.) Go to backup and reset in settings, do a factory reset with internal storage ( This will wipe everything, BACKUP NEEDED )
5.) Let the process complete and check /data partition via DiskInfo app.
6.) If it isnt, do a factory reset again via stock recovery.
7.) If nothing helps, follow first method.
I cant guarantee this will work, but many users have reported this as working.
I think this will be sufficient
Edit : New recovery by eng.stk - https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=22429&task=get
supports f2fs decryption.

Hi,
to be synthetic:
From TWRP recovery, change filesystem to Ext4 for both Data and Cache, then full wipe everything (System too);
Go back to OxygenOS v3.2.8;
Be sure to replace TWRP with Stock Recovery (download from 3.2.8 official thread);
Lock bootloader (both from Developer Options and Fastboot);
Sideload via recovery OxygenOS v4.0;
Consider to factory reset for a clean installation.
For more clarifications, I'm at your disposal

Official TWRP will not be able to update with the OTA update, only with the full ROM zip. There seems to be some other recoveries capable of that but since I don't have any experience with them, I refrain from naming them.

Assuming that you are on 9.0.2 and want to update to 9.0.3, you wipe system, caches and data (excluding internal storage) and flash 9.0.3 full zip. Then boot back into recovery (without booting into system). You should boot into TWRP. If you do, flash Magisk and boot into system. If stock recovery over writes TWRP, flash TWRP image in bootloader (fastboot) and then Magisk and boot into system.
If you are on Oreo and want OOS 9, it is slightly more complicated. You will have to format data (take a backup of your files and transfer to PC/Laptop) and then boot back into recovery and then flash the ROM and do the steps above. This is because of encryption issues.

Beware that there are some reports of the requirement of formatting again when updating from 9.0.2 to 9.0.3, though I did not face it. A backup is a must (on PC/Laptop, not on the phone itself).
I don't know of any other 'safe' way of doing it without data loss (assuming that by data, you mean internal storage).

You cant update with OTA updates, you need the full rom.
I dont know how you updated to (8.0 to 9.0 the first time),
i unrooted and reset my prone while still on 8.0
and then i updated to 9.0 with official recovery after that i installed twrp and rooted with magisk.
If you dit anything different you might run into problems.
1. Download and update to the latest magisk in TWRP. (If you already have it installed skip this, but still download it to a folder on your phone).
2. Download the full rom to your phone, full rom here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/rom-oxygen-os-9-0-3-android-pie-oneplus-t3937636.
3. Install the rom with twrp, no need to wipe anything.
4. Right after install the latest version of magisk.
5. Reboot your phone to system.
6. Wait until phone starts (it might take up to 7/10 minutes).
7. Done

Unable to encrypt after root

Hi everyone.
I had a issue and i really want help
I had unlock the OEM,and after installing the twrp and format data (to remove the forced encrypt), i had flash the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt zip file.
Okay, after that i have restarted the device and configure as my away to use, after that, booted on recovery again and flashed the magisk.
But i wanna encrypt my device, and when i go to configs->security and encrypt area, says that my device its not encrypted. Okay, i followed the steps and when i gonna try to encrypt the device, the process start and... some seconds after, the phone just restart and nothing has done.
The onlys changes that i have made on system is: root and flashed a splash.img(without that stupid warning of unlocked bootloader)
I really want to encrypt my device, so, if i get stolen, the thief wont get my user data.
Can anyone help me?
Flash the stock rom and and don't flash the encryption disabler next time. You don't need to install TWRP to flash Magisk either, you can just boot it and then flash Magisk. Also you don't even need TWRP, you can just follow the guide in the forum to install Magisk by booting the magisk patched boot.img for your version of the stock ROM and then install Magisk manually via Magisk Manager.
TL;DR : Flash stock ROM and do the same things except flashing dm-verity-disabler, you don't need that for Magisk or TWRP.

Sir, i really need twrp now, its there any way i can enable encrypt after rooting the device? (to sure that, if gets stolen, the data need to be wipped out or the password must be given on twrp)
Same issue, i tried to encrypt on security menu,reboot and nothing was done.
@edit
Better, without TWRP, i can flash other zips via magisk/stock recovery?

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, do you want to have TWRP + stock encryption?
If so you can just boot TWRP and flash the TWRP installer package (.zip) inside TWRP to do that. And you don't need to change anything, currently I have TWRP installed and encryption enabled on my Stock ROM.
But if you're trying to get TWRP's own encryption, sadly that doesn't work.
You can also use TWRP without flashing/installing it, just go to the directory TWRP is stored in, open a command line, connect your phone and boot it with this command :
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
then flash whatever you'd like.
DO NOT lock your bootloader after you flash something on TWRP, this will most probably brick the device.

But if you're trying to get TWRP's own encryption, sadly that doesn't work.
You can also use TWRP without flashing/installing it, just go to the directory TWRP is stored in, open a command line, connect your phone and boot it with this command :
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
then flash whatever you'd like.
DO NOT lock your bootloader after you flash something on TWRP, this will most probably brick the device.

I want to stick with the stock rom rooted, with the twrp installed and the user data encrypted
So i can flash things through TWRP even i have encrypt enabled?
@edit
dont worry about bootloader, i will keep unlocked
It's perfectly fine to have TWRP and/or Magisk and encryption using stock ROM.
Flash stock ROM (erase user data)
Install TWRP
install Magisk
Don't flash the encryption Disabler. As its name implies, it disables the automatic encryption of the userdata partition.

How to encrypt phone again?

I unlocked and rooted my 8T as described in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlocking-bootloader-twrp-rooting-t4031831
I made decryption including format Data and installing Universal DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt disabler, also installed stock EEA V11.0.3.0.PCXEUXM (MIUI10) and Magisk
All working fine except phone password lock, and as I read now, locks don't work on decrypted phone. So I decide to encrypt my phone back. But it does not work, when I pressed "encrypt phone" button in privacy settings it just reboot and nothing happened.
I tried OrangeFox recovery, made all steps as described here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8/how-to/guide-flashing-miui-ota-rom-recovery-t4041591
but still the same trouble.. So, how to encrypt phone with stock rom, root and recovery?

All kind of phone password,pattern,pin,fingerprint,face locks etc do work on decrypted phone in stock rom without any issue..tested myself.... although if you want to encrypt phone again then flash fastboot rom via mi flash

Yes, I want encrypted phone.
How it possible with Magisk and recovery?
I need flash fresh EEA 11.0.3.0 from Miflash, than install recovery and Magisk. And what else?
If I install Dm-Verity path, than I need format data and decrypt phone.
If I skip Dm-Verity installation, than I will have a bootloop.

flash the fastboot rom from mi flash and boot it till android setup....you don't necessarily have to set up your phone right now(you can setup your phone no issue though)...then flash orangefox recovery....then in orangefox settings->miui ota settings-> tick everything except Disable Forced Encryption...then flash stock recovery rom through orangefox once....after that flash magisk.... don't flash dm verity....now reboot.
Do not format data in any step..

Thank you! It working.
Seems that OrangeFox do his job well. Now I have encrypted phone with root, and recovery handling my password and decrypt data if need.
Strange, that menu items "Disable DM-Verity" and "Disable forced encryption" gray in my Orangefox any time from initial installation, but everything looks OK in system...

How do I decrypt the data temporarily in the custom recovery?

I have a Redmi Note 8 unlocked and a custom recovery installed, yet it shows that the data partition is encrypted. How do I decrypt it without wiping?
Flash this file on recovery

I flashed it and it caused a boot loop. How can I fix this?
For the first time you have to format data then flash this. If you want to stay decrypted then flash this after flashing rom everytime. And if you want to get back encryption then again you have to format data after flashing rom and reboot. Formatting data is middleman between encryption and decryption.
