[FIX] FED-Patcher v8 (ForceEncrypt Disable Patcher)

[madbat99]

Guys, is there still no way how to use OTA updates on Nexus 9 with this patcher without the need of manual instalation?

There are no more ota updates for n9. But you can't take them with root and twrp anyways.

Sorry, I mean LineageOS 14.1 of course

Oh ok. Yeah probably need to flash it every time. Unless you make a script to do it. Not sure

yes it should flash on every update(I use it on Lineage14.1 & works very well)
Read OP it is written clearly...
(you can backup the data and retrieve it again)
sry for english

Anyone tried Magisk modules with this fix on a 5X? I am not able to install any module and the only thing I changed is to flash this fix with a clean installation.

Works fine on my Nexus 9.

Re-visiting a question from a couple years ago, could someone add an addon.d script for this? The issue, at the time, was something about not having access to the boot image when the script would be run, but Magisk seems to do it just fine (I haven't looked too deep into the nitty-gritty).

Not the same. You have to patch before you boot system to avoid encryption. Even if you patched it after, you would already be encrypted.

From what I can tell, Magisk's addon.d script is run as soon as Lineage's update is finished (even before other zips I queued), unless updating Lineage otherwise triggers Magisk's reinstall, I can only assume it's Magisk's addon.d script. So why couldn't fed patcher's addon.d script be run at the same point?

This was from memory of Lineage's update a few days ago, just tested and reproduced no problem. In the header for the Magisk bit it actually states it's Magisk's addon.d script.
Steps:

1. have Magisk installed
2. select lineage ota (for dirty flash)
3. select "Add more zips"
4. select fed patcher
5. swipe to flash
6. watch lineage update, then magisk's addon.d script, then fed patcher

Using Nexus 6, TWRP 3.2.1.0.

Hello everybody,

I created a tool - initially for the nexus 9 (flounder|flounder_lte) - that gets rid of the ForceEncrypt flag in a generic way (meaning it should work no matter what rom you are on). It does that by patching the currently installed boot.img.
I enhanced that tool to make it work for other devices too. (See the list below to see if your device is supported)

Needed this in the worst way for my nexus 6...now I can flash oreo... Thank you

I can confirm it is working for Android 8.1 Oreo on Nexus 6! My phone is not encrypted anymore, thank you a lot

Tested on newest bootloader/baseband with official LOS 15.1.

1. Format Data (NOT WIPE!) in TWRP, go into "Wipe"-menu und then, there's a button "FORMAT DATA", you have to type "yes"
2. Copy your ROM/Gapps/Patcher onto the phone or use a USB OTG drive
3. Flash 1. ROM 2. Gapps 3. Patcher
4. Reboot, you're done

Decrypt N9 - what's the correct sequence of steps?

Hi folks, wondering if someone can help me decrypt my N9 device.

I am running RR Remix and the latest version of TWRP as well as vendor img etc. from Google.

My challenge is I cannot figure out what order or tasks I need to complete to successfully decrypt the device - I either end up in a boot loop on the RR boot screen, a google boot screen (the word "Google") or it loads into RR, but the device is encrypted.

Can you confirm this is the sequence of events to perform please. Note, this is after I have installed latest Google vendor.img, TWRP, and performed a full factory reset on the device.

1. Flash RR remix + GApps
2. Boot at least once into ROM
3. Reboot to recovery
4. Flash Fed-patcher
5. Format (not wipe) Data
6. Reboot

If I follow this list of steps, I get a bootable device, but still encrypted - I am sure I am missing something, so any help would be appreciated.

Try this disabler.
Follow his instructions.

Disabled encryption - solved

Thanks very much @madbat99

Can confirm this worked for me as follows:

• Boot into recovery (TWRP)
• Formatted ALL partitions (system, data, cache, dalvik)
• Perform full factory wipe (probably not necessary)
• Flash (in order): ROM, the linked (above) encryption fix, gapps
• Reboot

 

[mrk2815]

so how do you use the fed patch if you are going to flash a custom rom . So do you first install the fed patcher before installing the rom and gapps or after . what is the order to install so that the decription is removed on lineage builds.

 

[mrk2815]

i tried the way that was explain in one of the posts.i installed rom, then fed patcher then gapps then reboot.i set up my device and still i have device incripted on lineage 15.1.what did i do wrong.
