Here is a rooted twrp backup:

Hey everyone!
I am having no progress with getting my Robin rooted. So far, I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP. However, I am stuck here. When I boot into TWRP, I get prompted for a password to decrypt the system. However, my password doesn't work, and even if I wipe, it stills prompts me for a password.
I have attempted the method of restoring a pre-rooted backup, but because I am unable to decrypt the system, I can't even do that.
Any one have a way around this annoying road block?
Thanks!
You will need to disable encryption. You can try by going to fastboot mode and using the following commands:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
The process will completely wipe the internal storage.
Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately that did not work. I get a FAILED error because the partition does not exist, neither cache nor userdata.
You do not need to disable encryption all you need to do is click enter on that screen it will then use the default password.

Im having the same issue. I cant even install the prerooted rom because it wont mount my storage because its encrypted.
Yeah same here. I hope someone can figure out a fix soon. I can't even flash it via OTG.
adb devices
adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/
I finally got it!
The following guide assumes you have twrp recovery installed and your bootloader is unlocked.
1. Boot into twrp recovery
2. Tap Wipe
3. Tap Format Data and type yes
4. Tap Reboot > Recovery
5. Your encryption should be removed and you should now be able to see the internal storage.
6. While on the main screen of twrp, plug your robin into your computer.
7. Typeinto the command prompt and make sure your device is listed.Code:adb devices
8. Put your supersu.zip in your platform-tools folder (same place adb.exe resides)
9. In the command prompt type
This will push the super user zip into /sdcardCode:adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/
10. Now tap Install and find your supersu.zip file and install it!
YAY! you did it! hopefully.
Reasons why this was neccessary:
-cant decrypt. so you must format data to remove encryption and install supersu because once you setup your phone (even without a password) it automatically gets encrypted.
-when trying to adb sideload, phone wont connect to computer to install supersu (im assuming because usb debugging is off). Hence, the reason for running adb push while encryption is removed.
I used step 3 on this guide
Nice man! I figured it out earlier today finally and now I have Xposed flashed with all my modules so I'm happy. You should post that on the Nextbit forums if anyone needs help.
I can't get past the oem unlock. Keeps getting stuck at <waiting for device> any ideas?
Developer Options are enabled as is USB Debugging and have adb/fastboot setup on win10. Was the same on OS X.
I can suggest a few things:
1. Make sure your adb drivers, usb drivers and Robin drivers are up to date. That's usually the main cause of this problem.
2. If you believe they're up to date then try uninstalling them and reinstalling them
Those are usually the main reasons why this happens but if those don't work try these:
- Downloading the fastboot and adb SDK tools from "http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html".
- Make sure your Robin isn't on the "charge only" option in your notification drawer.
- This one might be silly but make sure your USB cable is plugged in correctly. I made the mistake of plugging it in backwards haha.
Hope this helps!
Haha no problem man. Yeah definitely do that. Also when you download the SDK (make sure it's just the SDK package and it's the zip not the exe) you run the SDK manager and install the necessary files.Thanks for the quick help dude. I was using an Android.zip adb/fastboot package, so will try the full SDK. I think there might be an issue with my JDK version so just updating that first. Robin was on MTP mode and double checked the cable so hopefully it will work now. Will let you know

ADB reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
It will not mount because it has forced-encryption. To permanently disable it, you will have to use a custom kernel with Verity Check (dm-verity) disabled. For now, you can simply decrypt it, and go ahead with installing your ROM.Im having the same issue. I cant even install the prerooted rom because it wont mount my storage because its encrypted.
Could be multiple causes.I cannot get past the fastboot stage.worked as expected. butCode:ADB reboot bootloader
comes up empty but under device manager, there is a fastboot device shown. Any guidance would be appreciated.Code:fastboot devices
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-ether.img
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-0-ether.img
fastboot -i 0x2c3f flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-ether.img
Yeah same here. I hope someone can figure out a fix soon. I can't even flash it via OTG.
adb devices
adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/
I was on 7.1.1 stock and flashed TWRP, the latest version. It asked me for my encryption password. I didn't have any password at all on the phone. I wiped data and then tried to boot back into stock and it just got stuck at the boot logo. Nextbit has a 1.3gb package that reinstalls everything just by typing flash-all.bat on your cmd prompt. I just wanted stock with root, I guess that won't be happening right now.
