How to decrypt through twrp?

[L4ndon]

I am on stock rom, rooted with magisk, and I cannot seem to get this phone decrypted. Every time I try to format data in twrp, I get an error, and I get stuck in a bootloop to recovery. Is there a step(s) I am missing here? I've tried looking through the forum but all I've seen are the same instructions on formatting data.

Use Advanced Wipe, select all except sdcard. Then flash any custom rom you like. Flash Magisk too. Reboot. After reboot try running your custom rom os for a few. Then go back to twrp, do it again advanced wipe except sdcard. Reboot. See if it decrypt now.

Note: Make sure you backup everything in it first before doing so. Goodluck

Well, I tried it, it booted, but it doesnt detect my sim card, and I have no service. I am still not decrypted as well, I am afraid to format data because of the fact that in the past it has put me into a recovery bootloop.

UPDATE:

I tried to redo the process again, just to verify the process, and I am still having the same network issues. I have 3g every once in a while, but its iffy and I no longer have LTE.

1 - forget the instructions given by the other kid - all wrong (like a lot, if not most, of the info given in theg5s plus threads.
2 - use twrp r15 - found in the forums, I think 16 is listed but I know 15 works. You must boot to twrp once after installing twrp or it'll get replaced with stock.
3 - you must format data to decrypt. Wiping only removes data - not the encryption
4 - I've never used magisk, but pretty sure it removed the encrypting flags when installed. I use su and no problems with stock - I've done it and know it works.
5 - download stock firmware, to fix booting to recovery you'll need stock recovery, and it's handy to have just in case.
What to do - install above twrp recovery - format data partition - install su - reboot. Done. If it is rebooting to recovery (which it shouldn't as long as you do boot to recovery after installing it) - flash stock recovery, reboot normally, then do the twrp install routine again.
Report back with details. No details - no help.

IT WORKED! Thank you so much. This was the post I needed, it really helps when everything is put in a step by step format, I am not the best when it comes to this stuff, the only reason I wanted a custom rom was to be able to use wifi tether, being on sprint makes that hard. But now that i have the first step down hopefully everything else goes this smooth. Thank you so much again!

Well, as long as you have done backup with twrp you have nothing to worry about.

Doing things the right way always works! Trouble is finding that right way (heed my warning about bad info in these threads - there is a lot of it - as you found out). Just so happens I also know how to splain things to users, I've done it for something like 25+ years (yeah, I am old - make that experienced). Tethering - used to be ya add a build.prop entry to allow it, but that was many years ago and most of not all enable it by default now.
Anyways, enjoy the ride. It may be a little bumpy, but it's the bumps that keep ya awake!

THX for that, got stuck in recovery process (loop).
I followed your instructions, but need of stock recovery.

My Path :
Backup DATA (w/o /media/)
Manually Backup Media with TWRP to Ext.SD
FORMAT /Data (use the DATA Button in TWRP), in my case it showed Errors, i ignored it and did it once again - this time it worked.
flashed Magisk
ended up in Recovery Loop - flashed stock recov. via FASTBOOT, reboot
a rainbow lightning circle turned up, said " DELETING", device rebooted by itself.
Now the Phone boots to Android, shut it down, restart with PWR BUTOON + VOL DOWN pressed to access bootloader and flash twrp again with FASTBOOT ( fastboot flash recovery nameoftheimage.img ENTER).
Now u can restore /DATA TWRP Backup and then the manually part - in my case that worked.

THX!

//EDIT

After first boot, i noticed missing write permissions for most Apps - so i decided to Reset SELinux via TWRP, worked !
