Will this be able to format data on Android 10 encryption like SHRP?

Flashed it from fastboot but doesn't come ,only comes fastboot mode ?
Only Sharp works in 10 properly.

It just won't boot. You can still recover from this by enabling the setting in twrp and reformatting data.
You will lose data regardless of this being enabled because this is only used for formatting data. That's what formatting data does

can I install shrp recovery zip and then miui12...
what I will do is -->
1. install this recovery in b slot through minimal adb
2. boot in twrp
3. install shrp recovery zip file (phone is still in b-slot)
4. change slot to a
5. reboot recovery
6. format data
7. install miui12
8. reboot
will this steps safely boot my device???

hello. first thank you very much for your hard work. i really apreciate.
so, i was on stock rom, freshly unlock the bootloader and flash twrp unofficial for android 10.
then in twrp i flash the zip installer and reboot to recovery.
once again in twrp i, like i'm use to, wipe successfully dalvik/system/data to erased all of stock rom.
then i format data (the one typing "yes" for confirmation) but it broke internal storage.
twrp does not show any file or folders. i rebooti in recovery but it won't show anything
i reflash twrp and the same... nothing.
so i went to fastboot mode and flash shrp, boot up in recovery but it was still not showing files or folders of internal storage. i wipe dalvik/system/data and reboot to recovey.
and this time it show folder but with codes like "QRGHQ9R4HGVUQE4RNG98TH9324HTG923" OR "66EFQ3KFK4TK34KT3K4K34K2KK2" and so...
what do i 'm doing wrong?
can i format data with out breaking internal storage?
the only thing i can do to get internal storage was flash stock rom again, i have not encrypted anything, i don't use microsd card, even i don't use password to unlock screen.
thanks in advance for your comments.

Ok you performed Format > And type "Yes" , actually this will Format your internal storage as well, RIP for your Data now else you took a backup earlier.
Now connect your phone to your PC with data cable , in mount section check if MTP is enabled if not then enable it , now your phone's internal storage shows in PC transfer Rom flash Zip files to internal storage, disconnect from PC and flash that rom.
Recovery choice is yours SHRP or TWRP
Note - Do not perform format > yes before flashing that zip.

Not able to flash recovery
I am on the latest stock android patch, probably that's why not able to flash recovery.
First I tried TWRP 3.3.1-2 Unofficial by Nikesh Kataria from the other post. As it said it supported android 10 with decryption and everything. But it didn't work.
Now with version 3.4.0-0, I am able to boot into recovery using platform-tools. But the files in /sdcard seems to be encrypted (judging by the codes shown instead of readable folder names).
Could someone please help me suggest any recovery which supports latest stock android 10 with decryption?
Is there a way around this?

Decryption will only work if you format data first. This is with every recovery. Has to be a factory reset of stock ROM or fresh install of custom ROM and from then twrp will be able to decrypt if it is installed, you're not installing it either by the way just temporarily installing it to inactive slot which will get wiped on reboot. For twrp to decrypt you must install it using the installer.zip by flashing it in you're temporarily installed twrp.img

Thanks for the help.
But after booting into twrp, how do I install twrp.zip. I even tried sideload that also errors out "Unable to find partition for path /cache".
May be I am missing some step. But here is what I have done.
Unlocked bootloader.
Booted into TWRP on inactive_slot(i.e. slot_b , in my case) with command fastboot flash boot twrp.img
Trying to install twrp.zip (failing at this step itself).

Put the zip on an SD card

Some ROM has some recovery integrated within the OS. If i install that and then the ROM, will the ROM's recovery overwrite this?

Cannot browse files to Flash in TWRP

After manually flashing files to upgrade to 6.0.1, I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0. But I am not able to flash supersu from sdcard because when I browse to the folder, it looks empty.
Anyone has any idea why this is happening?
if you have not formatted userdata after you flashed the recovery img in fastboot that would be one reason, the other reason could be if you used a pin/pattern/password for your phone. if you disable that or format the userdata in fastboot then you should be able to see it.
TWRP 2.8.7.0 didnt support decryption, and that may be why you cant
starting with 2.8.7.1 and now 2.8.7.2 it does support decryption.
Please download 2.8.7.2 and flash that and report back, bet ya its going to work fine after that.

You're using an outdated version of TWRP, it can't decrypt your storage. Update to the latest version and it'll be fine.

help - can't enter TWRP anymore

I've changed my password on the 6P (running Cyanogenmod), and ever since then, I can't enter my TWRP recovery, because it can't decrypt anymore. I've tried both the old and the new password in TWRP, but it can't decrypt it. Booting normally into the OS with the new password works fine, just not for TWRP.
TL;DR: Changed password in Cyanogenmod on encrypted 6P, now can't enter TWRP recovery anymore, but can still enter the phone OS.
Any ideas? Perhaps I could somehow reflash TWRP without losing data? Or will this mess up the encryption even more, so that I possibly also couldn't enter the OS anymore?

Flashing the recovery even 'n' number of times won't do any bad to the ROM. It seems like an issue with decryption itself. If you don't bother backing up and restoring your data, I would advise you to decrypt the complete partition manually.

The process will not wipe the ROM, but all the apps and data. Since your data is encrypted, I am not sure if Nandroid will work, backing up the /data partition. You can give a try to Flashfire app, to backup your parition data though.

About decryption, you can reboot into bootloader, and enter the following commands consecutively.
Code:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot

What version of TWRP are you using? There is an issue with decryption on version 3.0.1-0. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...y-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3234976/page83
Solution seems to be use the previous version 3.0.0-1.

Holy ****, I actually did update to the latest TWRP the other day. If this will be this simple to fix, that would be really great. I'm not sure how to flash the older TWRP now though. I used to always just download the TWRP img file on my phone directly, then install it directly within TWRP itself, to update TWRP. Now that I can't enter TWRP because it's unable to decrypt, I have no idea how to flash the old TWRP version. Is there an adb command so I can flash this from my PC?
EDIT: It worked! Thank you so much! I downgraded to the TWRP 3.0.0.1 with ADB and it decrypted again without any problems. You possibly spared me hours of setting up everything from scratch again.

If you are rooted, download the 3.0.0-1 version and flash with Flashfire or Flashify. I'm sure there's an adb command, but I always install through fastboot.

[How-To] Restore OOS from Oreo 8.1 | Restore factory encryption | Re-lock bootloader

You need to do this if you've flashed an Oreo 8.1 ROM and find that you can't get back to OOS because...
The ROM can't read /data so it hangs on the boot animation or reboots to recovery, even on a clean flash.
TWRP won't recognize your PIN/password or "default_password".
You've tried re-formatting /data from TWRP several times and it doesn't solve your problem.
Here is how to get back to 100% stock and/or restore factory encryption, which is different than Oreo 8.1 encryption:
1. Back up /sdcard to your PC as it will be erased with all of your files, pictures, music, etc.
2. Flash the stock recovery from bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [I]stock_recovery.img[/I]
Latest OOS official stock recovery
Latest OOS beta stock recovery
3. Restore system setting in recovery.
This step is necessary to restore factory formatting and encryption of /data.
If a password/PIN is set, click “I forgot my password.”
Boot into stock recovery. Once there, go to Wipe data and cache > Reset system setting and Erase everything(Music, pics, etc.).
Note: If you don't do the "Erase everything..." option, factory encryption will not be reset.
4. Boot TWRP from bootloader.
You could flash TWRP and reboot to recovery, but TWRP will get overwritten with the stock recovery when OOS boots anyway. It's faster just to boot TWRP from a command prompt. Use the command:
Code:
fastboot boot [I]twrp-recovery.img[/I]
I recommend using using:
[RECOVERY][dumpling] TWRP 3.2.1-0 for Oreo (8.0 and 8.1) by codeworkx
5. While in TWRP, move “OOS...ROM.zip” to the SD card.
In Windows File Explorer, copy OOS...ROM.zip to the device.
Alternately, you may use the following ADB command from a command prompt
Code:
adb push [I]OOS...ROM.zip[/I] /sdcard/
Since OOS is a very large file (1.6GB), this will take 5-10 minutes.
Latest OOS signed flashable zip
Latest OOS beta (Oreo) flashable zip
6. Flash OOS...ROM.zip from TWRP.
7. Reboot system.
Your device will be formatted, encrypted and loaded with the stock recovery and ROM as it came from the factory. You may need to find the OOS...ROM.zip you pushed to /sdcard and delete it from emulated storage (/storage/emulated) if you don't see it at /sdcard after booting the ROM.
8. Optional: To re-lock your your bootloader, follow these additional steps:
This can only be done from a factory-supplied OOS ROM (including Oreo) with no modifications or the phone will not boot!
Enable USB debugging under Developer options.
Reboot to bootloader.
Unlock the bootloader with the following command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Return to Developer options and turn off "OEM unlocking"
Thank you for the write up .. nicely done :good:

It gave me an error 1 in TWRP. I had to do the following:
1) Make sure the bootloader remains unlocked
2) Back your apps up in TitaniumBackup
3) Back your /sdcard partition up on your computer so you don't lose anything
4) Reflash stock recovery in the bootloader
5) Boot into stock recovery and hit "forgot password" when it asks for your lock code
6) Boot back into bootloader and reflash TWRP
7) Place stock OOS zip onto the /sdcard partition
8) While you're in TWRP, flash stock recovery through its image flasher then reboot into recovery
9) Flash stock OOS, reboot, and then mod however you want

Bump!
I made a big update to the OP today with more explanation, more detail and download links.
Thanks buddy, that tutorial worked perfectly!
The other way is to flash rollback image to Nougat in stock recovery.
https://goo.gl/YRyrt6
there are no other ways to revert back to stock OOS without affecting internal sd /sdcard ?
thanks for the guide above.
Ok I'm a bit Rusty. Flash from bootloader? Meaning adb? Then adb TWRP then boot to TWRP then flash stock room(s)?

Please do not quote the whole OP just to get someone's attention. A mention (@the Doctor) would suffice.
To answer your question, flash the stock recovery with the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [I]stock_recovery.img[/I]
The only ADB command involved is "push" to get the ROM onto the sdcard in step 5.
Thx @the Doctor. My apologies.
Thanks for the writeup, I'll probably try soon and report back.
Thanks for this, may need it. Plan to flash DU 8.1 tomorrow. So you can't just restore an ob1 or ob2 nandroid from a custom ROM?

You can, but TWRP will not recognize your PIN or password while in OOS, so you'll have to set lockscreen security to none or swipe. Or you could do the procedure in the OP, then restore only data from your nandroid. You'll have to re-flash Magisk or any other mods after that.
I don't use a pin for backups or restores. Since I seem to have to format internal storage to get a custom ROM to boot, was just wondering if restore of oos nandroid works once on DU.

How can I get my wifi back after reverting to 4.7.6? Ive tried EFS backup and everything possible but the only way to get wifi back is to flash an Oreo zip.

Have you flashed OOS Oreo Beta? My theory is that the firmware won't downgrade back to OOS 4.7.6, but I'm not sure. I've only restored back to OOS OB1/2, and wifi has worked perfectly every time.

Flashing Oreo beta is the only way to get it back as myself and others have found in the thread that was started on the subject. I hadn't seen that initially when I posted in here.
I was hopeful that following your method to a T would get me my wifi back on 4.7.6 but it wasn't meant to be. Absolutely nothing I have tried in the last 24 hours has worked to get it working on 4.7.6 including multiple clean and dirty flashes of the full 4.7.6 zip, twrp, stock recovery, restoring multiple backups, restoring EFS, factory reset, wipes, etc.
You might want to add that to the OP that if you revert to 4.7.6 that wifi will not work.

HELP! SM -G901F, TWRP can't find storage partition to mount

Guys this is help less.
After rooting my device I followed some instructions to get the Lineage 14. I flashed a BootLoader and a Modem as instructed and went forth to mount USB in order to transfer the custom rom into the device. But this is where the problem is.
It says E: Cant find partition to mount storage. I've tried to reboot, wide, data, storage, system and cache and repair the partition I don't know what else to do.
Anyone else can help? Btw I am fairly new to this stuff so please dumb it down for me.
Another thing, when I go to reboot my recovery it says my device isn't rooted and asks to install superSu, however it was rooted before I entered download mode and started installing bootloader and modem.
Now I have no operating system in the device so i can literally only use Recovery or download mode.
Is my device bricked? I don't know. :crying: :crying:

If you can boot recovery, all is not lost.
First, are you sure that you flashed the correct bootloader/modem for your s5 model (G900 T, P, V, F, etc? Odin should not let you flash the wrong one, but anything is possible.
If Bl/modem is correct, them the next thing is to get the custom rom onto the phone.
-make sure you have downloaded everything you need (rom, root method(pref Magisk), gapps if wanted)
- boot into recovery, I'm recommending and assuming that you are using the latest Twrp, if not, d/l official Twrp for your model, and flash that with Odin
-In twrp select wipe, format data, just in case.
-now you should be able to mount usb storage, using the option in twrp
- now you should be able to mount your phone to your PC and transfer the rom, put it somewhere easy to find on the phone. also copy gapps and Magisk zips
-now, still in twrp, select install, select rom zip, select add more, select Magisk zip, also flash gapps at this time if you want to use them.
-click the button to flash
-click wipe cache/dalvik
-click reboot
-pray ?

First, are you sure that you flashed the correct bootloader/modem for your s5 model (G900 T, P, V, F, etc? Odin should not let you flash the wrong one, but anything is possible.
If Bl/modem is correct, them the next thing is to get the custom rom onto the phone.
-make sure you have downloaded everything you need (rom, root method(pref Magisk), gapps if wanted)
- boot into recovery, I'm recommending and assuming that you are using the latest Twrp, if not, d/l official Twrp for your model, and flash that with Odin
-In twrp select wipe, format data, just in case.
-now you should be able to mount usb storage, using the option in twrp
- now you should be able to mount your phone to your PC and transfer the rom, put it somewhere easy to find on the phone. also copy gapps and Magisk zips
-now, still in twrp, select install, select rom zip, select add more, select Magisk zip, also flash gapps at this time if you want to use them.
-click the button to flash
-click wipe cache/dalvik
-click reboot
-pray ?

Hey man! Thank you so much for your reply. I installed CPE1 bootloader and modem driver, honestly I don't even know what they do. Was this a wrong thing to do?
I rooted my device using cf auto root, then flashed the bootloader and modem using Odin. After that I (stupidly) tried to boot my stock OS and it was stuck in a bootloop.
Unfortunately I won't be able to try your instructions this till tomorrow evening but I'll keep you posted!! do you mind if I pm?
Edit: I was using twrp 2.8.7 I believe, could this have been the problem? Also I updated twrp to latest and tried micro sd as storage and flashed a Rom but the phone is still bootlooping

Ok I see you have S5 plus. I'm not familiar with that device to know which baseband it should be.
One thing you might try is to boot recovery and clear cache/dalvik and then try booting the custom rom.
If all else fails, you might try Samfirm
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
That should give you a stock firmware file to flash with odin.
You can pm if you need to, I don't own an S5+, nor am I a veteran flasher but I will try to help if I can.

Ive tried the suggestion you gave me, no success. However I honestly dont know if it could be my fault. I'm gonna flash the stock firmware and restart the whole root process.
Thanks for your help man!

Ok sorry I couldn't be more help
Oh, you don't need to use of cfautoroot anymore, you can just flash Magisk after the rom, and then use Magisk manager to manage all your root permissions.
So if you are going back to stock, I would:
-Flash stock in Odin
-probably boot stock once to verify (first boot takes long)
-odin flash latest twrp(uncheck auto-reboot, just battery pull after it says pass)
-power on phone with key combo to boot recovery
- format data
-flash rom/gapps?/Magisk
-wipe cache/dalvik
-reboot system (first boot will take long)
Hope you get your phone working again

Good News! Phone is back in full working order after flashing stock firmware. It was kinda scary though, I had to fix an error in Odin and then the phone wouldn't even boot up! Left it over night, booted it again and it worked fine Thanks a lot for your help, I'll try not to soft brick my device again

Always boot in recovery mode after an update

Hi,
I was updating my OP6T to the new version (Magisk + Xxx NoLimits), but after the reboot post-update the device started to reboot to recovery after it booted. So I've tried to delete Magisk but the problem was still present, so I've decided to download the latest Oxygen ROM from the OnePlus and flash it from TWRP, but after flashing, the device started to always boot to recovery (before the OnePlus boot animation).
At least i tried to restore a nandroid backup of 1 month ago (System, Boot and Data), but still the device after the restore still boot to recovery before the boot animation.
I've only tried the system reboot (I've not tried to force boot another slot).
Do you have a solution to try before formatting the internal storage?
Thanks
Edit: After unistalling magisk and reflashing it again, now the device boots again, but immediately after (when the lock screen appear) the device reboot automatically to recovery again
Try this:
- in twrp , dirty flash the rom you are using (Oxygen os)
- factory reset
- flash twrp (the latest the better)
- flash Magisk 19.1
Reboot to system.
If this not working, Format data will work.

I am guessing you skipped the first step...
Try this:
Flash the OTA zip
Reboot (you will be unrooted and with stock recovery)
Boot to TWRP through ADB
Flash magisk unistaller
Reboot
Boot to TWRP through ADB
Flash OTA zip
Flash TWRP
Reboot to TWRP
Flash magisk

I don't have the OTA but the full rom, isn't simplier to update with the full ROM?
I think I'm going to try the null0seven's solution

Ok, I've done this and actually is even worse, the device started to boot in recovery again and TWRP doesn't recognize that the internal storage is crypted, so i can't even access the internal storage (it shows only strange folders), so, now I can't flash the nandroid backup anymore.
I also mean FULL rom .zip.
Format data in twrp or in Fastboot. Or use MSM tool .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
all of them will wipe ALL in youre phone, but it will work.

So I've to Full wipe and then adb sideload the ROM? Because at the current state I can't even boot the device, it always starts in TWRP
Edit: I've also tried the blue_spark's version but nothing changed, TWRP can't recognize the encrypted storage
you can try this first.

When you're saying you're flashing the full ROM after wiping, are you meaning the xxx no limit? If so this isn't an os rom it's just a magisk module rom that's an add on to oxygen os. You need to wipe and flash the latest oxygen os rom, stable or beta which ever you're using, then flash TWRP, flash your os again on the other slot, flash TWRP, flash magisk, if your system boots fine then flash the xxx no limits rom in twrp.

No, I flashed the full ROM downloaded from the OnePlus server
Have you tried formatting data?

You're best bet is to use the MSM tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
Ok, I've decided to use MSM to recover the device, I've lost the internal storage, but at least the device is working again.
Thank you to everyone who helped me in this thread

Maybe it was a Magisk module that caused it. I removed pixel module from Magisk and it done the same to me.
