TWRP recovery used to ask for a password to decrypt/mount my storage.
I flashed a new image to update the recovery and wiped my data too as I wanted to flash another rom,
but now when I'm opening the recovery with my password, it shows "Wrong Password"
and I can't mount storage and that's why I can't flash another rom.
Please help.

Did you do data partition format? Not only wipe, format is needed
Hello, to delete the encrypted partition if you don't know the password, you have to format it, but if you don't want to lose something of what there is, install Orangefox recovery, the same thing happened to me and this recovery mounts the partition even if it is encrypted. ...
Mine's worst, despite the efforts of wiping and formatting I still can't install a rom due to unable to mount storage problem. I hope anyone help me, this will speed up my nonstop search for a fix -_-

Dear i am facing the same problem. This is what happens when we install a rom without logging out our passwords and accounts from the device. The Lockscreen password is the one which encrypts the storage. And when we try to flash another rom without decrypting our storage on the first hand.. It stucks.... TWRP will never be able to decrypt it. The only one solution which i have in my mind is to relock the bootloader through Stock Rom and then unlocking the bootloader might have the chances to resolve the issue. Just thinking to do so.......... Its an idea rather........

I see but for some reasons I can't flash the exactly same firmware stock rom, it always says corrupted file, I dunno what will I do now, I tried every versions of my phone's stock roms all with the same error corrupted file. I'm using orange fox recovery cause I can't seem to find a compatible TWRP since I updated to latest firmware, by the way my phone is RMX2061_11_C23. I tried using adb sideload but with no luck. I'm still stuck...

You need to erase the internal storage to have it decrypted. After installation of indian ROM, the phone's internal storage becomes encrypted. In order to decrypt it back, make sure you save everything from your phone inside a computer, then in TWRP, erase/format the internal storage, copy the new ROM that you want to flash via TWRP (you won't have any system installed so you can't reboot otherwise you'll endup in some bootloop). You can Enable MTP to see the device in computer. After you have copied the new ROM, flash it and enjoy. This is my experience on X820 after flashing indian ROM, so I'm not very sure if all described above will work on X821 but you can give it a try. If you brick your device, there is a fix for hard brick as well, so, no worries.
problem decrypting..
I tried it by doing format system.. but it didn't got decrypted... N everything remained same...

In TWRP you need to press "Wipe", then "Advanced Wipe" and select "Inernal Storage", then swipe to wipe. Do note that everything on your phone will be erased, contacts, photos, music, etc. Wiping only system won't decrypt anything.
not working..

i booted into twrp then selected wipe->advanse wipe-> internal storage and then swiped to wipe,..
then it showed wipe failed unable to mount something...
Try to check in Mount and see if you can change something that can help.
Also someone with X821 maybe can help in this matter.
i tried that didn't help..

Hello,
Wolud you be so kind and share some link/info about this solution?
regards Filozof71
boot loop??
If u got into bootloop with a blue dot and phone restarting again and again, simply go into twrp and flash any of the official eui 15s 16s 19s Roms by wipe and install zip.
Hi
I saw that to avoid that situation you gotta wipe data, which I don't feel like doing since I want to do a backup of my phone.
Any recommendations?
thx
I had the same problem on my LG G2 Mini .. to fix it, I have been forced to repair the data/system ..

Had to sideload aurel Rom.
try rebooting
Hi,
I have a Le Max 2 and after Indian ROM I got that problem, the funny/strange thing is that if I use TWRP and reboot into recovery several times it eventually starts and seems encryption is off as it doesn't ask for the password and I can access every mount this is a stupid behaviour as it should always be encrypted...
Tried formatting both mount-points but still kept asking for the password.
Found this when I rebooted the phone into recovery and didn't see the password screen now when I need to do any installation I just use this method.
Regards,
Pedro.
I got TWRP 3.1.0 asking for password for Encrypt data. I was flashing Nexus rom and Black screen 1.7.img kernel (i might flash the wrong one img/zip)and reboot and it bootloop. So I reboot again into recovery (luckily it still there) but still asking for password. Eventually I got into TWRP and manage to restore backup from OTG, after I found out my internal storage was wipe out all data was gone. Now the phone is working normal I just lost all the stuff.
Just factory reset, worked for me.
Hi guys i tried using twrp 3.1.1.0 and it says password for unmount data. Also my phone in settings says encrypted.
I tried wiping data cahce, etc but that diidnt worked also using default_password but that diddnt worked as well
Model x820 stock ROM

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
More reading here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/update-eui-t3480614
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.
More reading here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...dian-stock-19s-rom-chinese-bloatware-t3484388
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.

Have any of the proposed solutions worked for you?
I'm using TWRP recovery and decided to take a nandroid backup but to my surprise I found it doesn't detect data and/or internal storage partition. I then flashed another recovery but the problem remains there. Now after searching for this fix the result end up with formatting the partitions. Is there any other way to fix this before I take the highway?
Just came to know it's a recovery problem and another recovery called Orange Fox can fix this issue. Let's see.
tried orange fox recovery but still same prob do you find another solution ?

Had the same thing occuring with treble recovery. It seems that the password is the same as the one u input after u had installed a ROM. Maybe if you had kept a pin/password for your ROM, keep the same one in the recovery. It shows up as decrypting and allows you to enter the Recovery.
So, where to start.. I just got my redmi note 5 to test all sorts of things on, and my first goal was to successfully unlock it, install TWRP, and root through Magisk.
For this, I've used the 'Flashing TWRP on Redmi 5 Plus (and Root)' guide on the miui blog (can't post the link, unfortunately.)
I unfortunately keep running into a strange problem, which I'm going to explain briefly, because this is the second time that it happened, and I have no idea what to do, to be completely honest.
So, I successfully unlocked my redmi 5 plus, enabled USB debugging, installed ADB Fastboot on my PC, and went on to flash TWRP 3.3.0.0. This worked, the recovery image was properly read, although I could only boot it from fastboot into recovery, by holding the button combination. When trying to reboot after flashing, going into recovery from the system via the console on my pc put me in the normal MIUI recovery. So, I had to flash TWRP again, and do it the way I described. I forgot to mention, but I also copied both Magisk and no-verity to the root folder of my internal storage before installing TWRP, but, when going into TWRP to install, I could not find those zip files.
The internal storage showed as 0MB, and I read that you're supposed to wipe the data, with TWRP, which did in fact let me see the amount of MB on my internal storage, but unfortunately it did not let me find those files either. The sad part is, now my phone is stuck on a bootloop, again, and I can only run either recovery or fastboot, the latter of which I'm going to use to flash stock recovery and do a factory reset, once again.
At this point I'm lost as to what I should do, I'm following the advice from many different sources, and nothing seems to work. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but being the noob I am, I cannot figure it out .
Give it a shot by trying orange fox recovery
Also I might be wrong but I think there is a fix for 0mb problem
Try OrangeFox Recovery, for me its better than twrp. Internal storage is 0mb because its encrypted, OragneFox can decrypt that partition and make it accessible.
Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I did try one last thing by just installing magisk on my phone normally, and.. well, it actually worked! I don't have a custom recovery, but I was able to root the phone without any issue, so I think this will suffice for now? In the future though, I'll keep the OrangeFox Recovery in mind.

Nice to see that your problem has been solved! You can thank by hitting "Thanks!" button
Flash twrp
Format data
Then flash twrp in twrp
Flash no variety
Reboot to recovery..
Now you will have your twrp permanently installed as recovery
Now do whatever u like with twrp
